Public Credit is Secure.

The furry in the stock market
yesterday seems rather the result
of past anxieties than an indica-
ton of fresh distur bance. A week
or more ago, when the United
States Treasury was apparently
in danger of detaulting in gold
payments, financial circles were
generally alar med, ard rot un-
reasonably. The reas8uring decia-
ration Of the President and the evr
ident turn for the better in the con-
dition Of the Treasury qaieted
these fear, bat meantime capitals
ists bad begun calling in their
loans and borrowers WHO have had

are suffering in consequence.
This will sufficiently account foI
much Of the sacrifice noticed in the
stock reports. There Is no reason
other than this for anything res
semb ing a panic, because the pub
lie credit is not assuredly safe, and
with that assured there can be no
difficulty N maintaining private
credit, the general conditions OF
tie colrtry at this time beir g
sound and promising.
Appreheusions OF disa stel there,
fore, are untimely. Without doubt
the absurd financial acts OF Cons
gress have EN- barrassed the whole
business interests of the country
bat it is equally beyond doubt thai
these laws will be so administered
as t. avert any disastrous results
until they can 0e cnanged, SO that
the fears of a sudden change O
values aud a depreciation Of the
currency are at present groundless

peoDie and Preacher,

Among the subiec-s considered
BY the James River Convocation
now in session in this CITY was the
"Social Relations OF the Pastor to
His People" The general trend
of opinion elected on this subject
was that the minister should give
himself up to pastoral duty as
we'll as to pulpit work. 1t was
held that the sec al intercourse be-
tween the minister and rembers
of his congregation aided HIM in
his work.
This may be true in one respect.
but on the other hand the congress
cations Of this day are more exact
ing in their demands for head work
from the minister. Sermons that
twenty years ago would have sat
isfied are heard now with more or
less dissatisfaction. Thus the res
spousitility Of tee preacher is
doubled. To preach well he must
haye time Tor study and consen-
trated thought. If he takes that

social rou: ds. If he fails to
preach well members of his
congregation begin preaching on
their own hook. If he fails to come
around and spend an evening ans
other element OF the flock will be
aggrieved. The average of educa-
ton is SO much greater these days.
The average mind is quicker, and,
therefore, more is demanded in the
way of sermons, and yet we are a
social people. 1t is knot:y prob~
lem. The conditions that apply to
tie city aud county are a SO differs
ent In the latter, distance pren
vents much intercourse aid poor
pay prevents the minister from ems
joying advantages conducive to
better sermons. So far as the city
congregation is concerned, smaller
congregations and more churches
might solve the problem, while in
the country better pay would
help.-Richmond State.

Abundant Silver.

The advocates of free silver coin
age claim that the adoption of their
policy would not only bring the sill
yer dollar to a parity wit theh gold
dollar, but that it would also i'm
prove the prices of agricultural pro-
ducts.
II they are correct there should
have been some tendency toward the
results they predict since the enact
ment of the Sherman law under
which the government purchases
more silver than ever before and
puts it IN circulation by means OF
silver certificates.
What are the facts? Three years
ago silver was worth $1.07 an ounce
now it is selling at S3a cents. II
1890 cotton brought lis cents; now
it is selling at a little over Z cents
Wheat brought 95 cents bushel il
1890; now it is worth only rs cents
Pig iron, which sold at $3.50 a tor
in 1890, now brings only $1450.
Money is scarcer and harder t.
borrow now than it was before th
Sherman act,
Those who look to free silver as
panacea for our financial ills ar
among the widest dreamers outsid
of Arcadia.

When she thinks she wants 10 talk;
Cause womans s only human,
And you'd botter take walk
Til she SINNERS down and settles,
Whun woman's on her ear
IT'S the leasantest in silence
What she has to say to hear
Tain't no use so try to crowd htr,
Cause she's bound to say her say,
You talk loud and she'll talk louder;
Better haste TO break away,
When she's IN the upper olt~ves,
Better wander from her view.
Then the song she sings in silence
Is the sweetest song to you
But you can coax her and caress her
And she'll melt and run to you
As the 'lasses on your pancakes
In your boyhood used to do,
IF you haYe S, rrow. tell her,
Then just watch her tear-drops fall
And the sighs she sighs in silence
Are the saddest sighs of all.
When you ask girl to marry
And she hangs on what you've said,
And your hope hangs on her answer,
And the moon hangs overhead;
When you seem to see her thinking,
And you kinder have the call,
Then her answer, said in silence,
Is the sweetest werd OF ali.

The report that ten thousand
immigrants are booked TOR this
port for the next three months, and
that the arrivals are likely to ex-
ceed those of any former year
should serve to put the inspection
authorities on the alert. The i'm
migrants recently arri g have in
many instances been cf the poorest
class, Of which we have too many
already. It is not worth while to
build almshou8es and hospitals to
essen the pauper budget OF cur
foreign neighbors. The law against
pauper and criminal immigration
should be strictly enforced, and IN
leRs all signs fail there will be
room for the exercise of unusual
rigor in its enforcement and a good
deal of ehrewdness IN detecting al
tempts to evade #.

Of the dangers that call for specia
watchtulness on tie part Of the ims

To breathe a benediction to the

Soon as the bluebird and the robin

Sweetest and best that in the woodland

Flush like the morn, or white as drifted
SHOWS;
love thee as herald of the hours
That bring the jeauteous train of
forest flowers,
And all the fair things Gods loving

But most tor her sweet sake who had
held thee dear;
Who, in glad springs, roamed with NE
hand in hand
These mossy paths where now alone
stray;
And yet whose gentle presence seems
so near,
half forgot her angel feet to-day
Walk the green pastures Of the better
land.

Many Of our citizens entertain a
pleasing remembrance Of Miss Em
ma Shafer, Of Newark, n. j., who
has several times visited our city in
winter seasons, stopping with the
family of Dr.. Geo. L. Kirby. Her
many friends in this city, as we'll as

Mrs.J. Garland Eamner, il. Eifc

at 4:3O o'clock. She had b9e4 Ill for
about ten weeks, but The fever from
which she was suffering had been
broken and the patient was thought
to be recovering. A relapse occurred
however and caused hel death. Mrs,
Hammer was the daughter of Joseph

lass, of New York, After graduat~
ing from the Newark High School.
Mrs. Hammer, became student at

Always active and energetic in
church work, the primary class of
the Clinton Avenue Reformed

self to that body, though still re-
manning an active member IN the

A MANLY SPEECH.

Hon. w. G. P. Breckinridge was
one of the speakers few nights ago
at a banquet commemorative Of the
birth Of Ulysses S. Grant,
In speaking for the South Mr..
Breckinridge uttered sentiments,
which, for their courage and manli-
ness. evoked the admiration Of all
who heard him:
81 hear tonight of a new South.
There is no new South il certain
sense, but in another there is a new
North and new South and a new
republic that has emerged from
those dark days Of strife. We are a
new people; we see each other better
than our fathers did; we know each
other better than our elder brothers
knew, but it is the cd South on
which you are to build. 1t is no
maudlin new South, denying its he
roes, on whom you are to build, but
an old South, proud of its history
and of its people. We. We! are
citizens of the new republic. faith
full to our allegiance and true to the
flag. Having lost like gentlemen
we abide by the resul t of the con-
flict. 1t isn't the man Who apollo
gizes whom you need to build upon,
it is the man who did his best and is
deuced sorry he couldn't do more
| who makes foundation for strong
republic, for he feels now that this
is his country and he viii be loyal
to it,
Those words haye the true ring.
They express the exact views Of TIL
ARGUS, as our leaders have rea6
them in the past. 1t is too otter
the case that Southern speakers a
northern banquet boards go into alb
ject apologies and labored explana
tions in behalf Of the section they
are supposed to represent. Sucl
speeches invariably receive the con-
tempt of fair minded people il
the North and provoke the just in
dignation of all self-respecting peo
pie in the South. What Mr.. Breck
inridge said any patriotic and sen
sible citizen in any part of th
country can heartily endorse.
