Some idea Of what the value Of silver
currency iu this country would b. il sill
yer monometallism should be established
can bee obtained from the value Of such
currency in Honduras, and other coun-
tries that have the silver standard. A
distinguished Catholic clergyman Of Sa-
vannah who was ia Balize, Honduras. re
Gently had occasion % purchase pair Of
shoes. He found what he wanted and
was told by the shopkeeper that the
price of them was $500 in
United States money He was sat
ished with the price and rendered
500 bill Of our national bank
currency. He expected to receive no
more than 500 in change, as he had not
made himself acquainted with the value
of the currency of the country as compar-
ed with the value of our currency. His
surprise, therefore, was great when he
received with the shoes $3.50 in silver
1t is evident that in Honduras a pretty
big sum of silver doesn't buy much of a
supply of the necessaries of life.
If the silver producers should be per
mitted to have their way they would es-
tablish the free coinage of silver at the
ratio Of Is TO 1. The result would be that
we should have silver monometallism.
Our only currency would be silver, or
paper based on silver, and its purchasing
power would be so small that wage
workers, who would of course, be
paid in it, would find it diff
cult, if not impossible, TO get the
barest necessaries of life There might
be small advance in wages, but the ad-
vance would not be anywhere near so
great as the depreciation in the value of
the money they would receive.
And the farmers would suffer equally
with the wage workers. The money they
would receive for their products would
have such little purchasing power that
they would have to pay enormous prices
for everything they bought.
There can be no objection TO the use of
such an amount of silver currency as can
be kept on parity with gold currency,
and there may not be overwhelming OBJ
iections to the free coinage of silver at
ratio that would insure parity between
gold and silver, but all who want to
prosper and see the country prosperous
should protest emphatically against the
silver producers purpose of forcing upon
the country the free coinage of silver at
the ratio of Is to l, because free silver
coinage at that ratio would give us a de
based currency similar to that which
Honduras has

intend to be a listener, but didn't feel like
running away, and so could not help hearing
what they said. They were discussing
spiritualism and the future state. The man
said: Il do not believe in the popular idea
of spirits in heaven. I believe that we merely

Senator CoIquitt.

Georgians, in fact, southerners gener-
ally, are glad to know that Senator Col
quit has recovered sufficiently to return
TO the Senate A public man from early
manhood, he has been faithful to every
trust confided to him, not only as a sol
der but also as a legislator and as a gov
ernor
Like other public men he has doubtless
made mistakes, but his mistakes have
been of the head and not of the heart. A
Christian soldier and statesman, he de-
serves all the honors that have been con-
ferred upon him.
The MORNING News did not approve of
his advocacy of Senator Hill for the
presidential nomination of the Demo-
cratic party, and it is not in harmony
with him on the silver question. 1t has
taken occasion to express its views of his
departures from what it believes to be
the best interests of the people, but the
senator is a democrat, and it is his privi-
lege to entertain such views of
public questions as seems to
him to be right An honest difference of
opinion among its members is permissible
in the Democratic party, and is one of the
things that distinguish it from the Re
publican party.
Those who think Senator Colquitt will
be easily beaten, should he desire a
reelection to the Senate, are mistaken.
He is still strong with the people, and
like another venerable Georgian, an ex-
senator, though weak physically, he is a
tower of strength politically.

A New Carlisle Story.

The politicians and officials at the treasury
department are telling a story on Chief Clerk
Logan Carlisle illustrating the old maxim
that it is poor rule that won't work both
ways, says the New York Suns Washington
letter. The authenticity of the incident can
not be vOuched for, but as Mr.. Carlisle him
self expresses it. lit is a good story anyhow. -
Last week when the mime rous removals were
taking place among the clerks in the CLASH
ned service, an elderly LADY called upon the
chief clerk. She stated her case clearly and
distinctly, She had been clerk in the elias
s1hed service had always performed her
duties in manner satisfactory to her chief
OF division. and was not, OF course, an often
slye partisan. Upon close questioning by the
courteous chief clerk the lady admitted that
near relative was also in the employment
of Uncle Sam.
Now madam" said Mr. Carlisle, firmly
but kindly, don't YOU know that the depart
ment issued circular some time ago calling
Tor statement from every clerk as to the
number and nearness Of his relatives in
Officer
The lady admitted that she had received
one OF the circulars in question.
And don { you know that 1t was intended
to use the information resulting from the is
suance of these circulars TO make judicious
removals Of persons who have close relatives
drawing salaries from the government and
I'LL their places with needier applicants thus
more fairly distributing the favors:"
Now, Mr.. Carlisle, let me ask you a ques-
ton, responded the lady in true Yankee
style. "Yousa that the circulars were is
sued for the purpose of removing people who
have other members of their family in ofice:"
Yes, replied Mr.. Carlisle
And must all the people in Off1cc who have
relatives in the service Of the government
submit to REMOVAL
Yes. again replied the chief clerk
We'll then. Mr. Carlisle cried the lady
with a triumphant air. how is it that you
and your father are both holding office at the
same time;"
For moment Logan was staggered at this
low Of no cif ion,

logic of your reasoning. In very short time
