n. GOULD 0LOVER ON trial.
Acquitted Of the First Charge of Embez-
Element Mt AshevIlle.

ASHEVILLE, n. c., August 17.-Spe-
cial-When the State rested it's case
against A. Gould Glover to-day, Judge
Armneid announced that In his opinion
no case of embezzlement had been made
out, and, as that was the charge specified
in the Indictment, he would instruct the
jury to return verdict of not guilty.
Glover is about thirty years old a man
OF pleasant address and attractive man.
ners, who came here from Boston about
four years ago, with young wife and
child. He formed the Ashevlle Kaolin
Company. and managed its business az
fairs. Into this company 4. J. Lyman
and DR.. II. II. Reeves invested about
twelve thousand dollars which, together
with other large sums invested by others,
were lost in the operations Of the COM
pany. They allege that Glover embezzled
n great deal Of the Companys money and
the trial to-day was based upon one of
these alleged fraudulent transactions.
After the announcement Of the court in
this case, the State announced its readl-
ness to proceed TO trial Of another case
on the same charge and the court Is now
engaged upon it's consideration. The
people generally approve Of the disposI-
ton made Of the first case. Gloyer's wife
is in Boston. They were both popular in
social circles when they lived here.

THE BRITISH BUGABoo.

One OF the most curious things to be
met with is the persistency with which
all free silver advocates insist that in
its tendency towards gold standard this
country is being hoodwinked by Eng
land. They wholly ignore the fact that
our own wisest. most conservative and
best men claim that as civilization adj
vances men abandon the use of the
baser metals for those more precious,
on account Of the greater care Of hand
ling, and they will have the whole con-
troversy rest upon the proposition that
England has everything to make from the
universal adoption of a gold standard.
while all the rest OF the world has every
thing 10 lose by II. and that the astute
Englishman is pulling the wool over the
eyes of all the rest OF mankind, but es-
pecially over those OF the people Of the
United States.
Our readers will remember that this
was the burden Of the recent letter Of
Judge Hughes. We quoted from Mr..
BANDS speech in Congress last week
TO show that this was what inspired his
soul with terror; Mr.. Bryan, of Nebras-
ka, said In his speech last Wednesday:
The question now presented was whether
the United States was going to say that
1t was an English colony, or an indepen-
dent nation"
And so 1t goes on. From Sockless
Simpson, up or down, as you may think,
the gamut runs. the cry OF all is:
Beware. beware,
She's fooling you, she's fooling you
Now, we have the very highest regard
for the Englishman's sagacity. eye open to
his own interest. pluck and determination
20 hold on TO all ne gets. But we don't
think the Englishman monopolizes all
Of these qualities that exist In the world.
We are descendants OF Englishmen over
here. and we think we inherited these
qualities ourselves In as high a degree
as the Englishman has them. When John
Bull sets himself about the business OF
pulling the wool over Brother Jonathan's
eyes, therefore. he had better look out,
or he may fare as that famous shepherd
Jared who went for wool and came back
shorn.
we peiong to that order OF thinkers
who will never consent to put great
movements amongst men down to ad-
venutious and fabricated causes When
such movements occur there is always
reason at the bottom OF them connected
with the convenience and better living
OF men. and the movement Is certain 10
be found out sooner or later 10 be one
OF the processes OF evolution, by which
mankind is always seeking to ameliorate
the naturally hard conditions Of life.

SILVER DEBATE DRAGS ON.
Very Little Interest Manifested In the
speeches-The VIrginians.

WASHINGTON. August T-Speclal.-
The Capitol flags, dropping mournfully
at half mast, in the dankish air Of the
early morning, silently proclaimed the
sad intelligence that this nation had lost
another OF it's truest servants Early
dispatches announced the death at his
home in Detroit, Of Judge J. Logan
Chapman. Judge Chapman served In
the Fiftieth, Fifty-hrst and Fifty-second
Congresses. and was elected 10 the Fifty
third Congress as Democrat by
handsome majority. He was a member
of the Committee on Foreign Affairs.
A large majority OF the members Of the
House are giving positive evidence OF
their disapproval Of the early BIRD that

by their conspicuous absence at the open
ing This morning when the chaplain
called all hands TO prayer there was
mere handful Of members In their seats.
These few probably believed what J.
Horace Lang once told the members Of a
Virginia convention-that some menu
souls needed more prayers than others.
The silver debate still drags sluggishiy
on. To-day Cooper Of Florida. Daniels
of New York and Frederick Of Kansas
are attempting to hold the attention OF
the small number OF members on tho
floor and excite some little interest IN
the sparsely filled galleries. This, how
ever. is evidently an of day, as the few
members present seem 10 be industriously
disposlng OF an accumulation Of CORE
spondence. and the transient visitors 10
the galleries show their inclinauons for
something elsewhere by their speedy de-
parture.

Richmond, on account of her favorable
situation, has always played an inpor-
tant part as a distributing point for the
South Atlantic States. Especially Is this
true at the present time In the line of
hardwood lumber, as evinced by the large
and increasing trade OF the well known
lumber firm of Woodward & Son. with
Office corner OF Ninth and Byrd streets.
whose business, from a modest begin
ming just after the war, has steadily
increased until 1t is row the largest OF
the kind In the State. The immense
sheds alone of this firm situated in their
main yard on Byrd street, adjoining the
Richmond and Petersburg railroad de-
pot. have a capacity OF over a million
and half feet Of lumber. in addition
10 which they also have three other stor-
age yards OF large capacity in the i'm
mediate Vicinity. Besides handling all
kinds and sizes OF pine and oak build
Ing lumber. both rough and dressed. as
well as sash, blinds, doors. etc. they also
make a specially OF carriage and wagon
lumber. yellow poplar, white pine for
pattern-work. and all kinds of high-grade
hardwood. This branch of their trade
extends over very large territory. and
they numter among their regular GUS
toners a large number OF firms through
out Virginia. North and South Carolina.
and even as far south as Florida. The
frm, as existing prior to Jant airy !. 1888,
was dissolved on that date by the re-
tirement OF J. p. l.. Woodward, the ser.
Tor partner, but the business has been
continued ftnce then under the old arm
name by w. Minor Woodward. who has
been acuvssy engaged In 1t since BS5.

The latest contribution TO the Iitera-
ture of the English bugaboo business was
made last Tuesday in the United States
Senate by MIR. Stewart. OF Nevada. He
said:
'sThe fight is not with Wall street Wall
street is simply an appendage of London.
- and the question Is shall we
have no kind OF money except what Great
Britain dlctatesr'
He then went on to say:
III is IN London. where they hold ten
thousand millions Of foreign obligations,
SlOpo 10000 OF British national obliga-
lions and $4,000, 100000 OF British obliga-
tions OF other corporations-eighteen or
twenty thousand millions OF obligations
which call for money-and they want to
change them from bonds payable In the
money Of the greatest country In the
world, and compel payment in gold
alone"
Now let's analyze this. No doubt 1t
country owed England twenty thousand
millions OF dollars, the interest and prin-
cipal Of which were payable. according
to the contract in either silver or gold,
ha1 b.t,, hp world
ourselves included, into demonetizing
silver and had thereby prodigiously en-
HANGED the value of gold. But however
hard this proceeding might be upon other
people. we are not concerned with any
part Of II, but that which is connected
with what we owe Now Mr.. stewart
admits that eight thousand of the eigh-
teen or twenty thousand millions is due
by Engllshmen TO Englishmen, and with
that we have no sort Of concern. This
leaves only eight or ten thousand mil
lions that could possibly affect US, but
Of course the rest of the world owes n
very large proportion of this. We are
rapidly, therefore. reducing our part of
IT TO reasonable limits. How much of
this eight or ten thousand millions do
we probably over Mr.. Stewart himself
shall answer. In the same speech he
said of these same Londoners:
1.-THE three thousand millions which they
have invested here they demand shall
be paid in a different money from the
contract under which the Investments
were made"
We thus have Mr.. Stewart fixing our
part of the liability at three thousand mil
lions of dollars. But his case is this:
He says a debtor has the right TO pay his
debts in anything that was money when
the debt was contracted. and therefore
we have the right to pay all of this debt
in silver that was contracted while silver
was money. Granted. But We de-
monetized silver in 1873, and it would be
safe to say that 80 per cent. of what we
owe there now has been contracted since
1873. and is not, therefore, payable in
silver. What then is the row about?
How much would the sum saved amount
to?
