Of affairs 10 represented to have been brought

forts to whip them into line" that 1t was
through their efforts. united with those OF the
solid Democratic minority. led BY Senator
German. that tho fight against the Force bill
was successful: tariff silver. and all other

How butch" thompson Lost $50

How Butch" thompson Lost $50.
AS most men about town know, says the New
York Advertiser, Boukmaker Butch Thompson
is one Of the last men to take dare" partcu-
larry if he thinks he sees his way clear to win
by backing his judgment; but in Nick Engel s
a night or two ago his generous sporting blood
made MIN run against an unsupported snag.
'brash" young man who happened TO be
drinking beer with Butch and four or five others
around a table incidentally offered to bet the
tat Swiss sport that he could not eat half a
dozen dry soda crackers in succession VII hout
wetting his throttle. At first Thompson was
averse to entering himself in such a public
trial for less than odds OF two to one against
his performing the task, but. egged on by his
companions, he became so eager TO win the $50
posted at even money that he took bait and
hook.
Fetch six soda crackers" said the fellow
who proposed the test of ThompSon's swallow
ing powers.
@rhe crackers we're brought by waiter The
preliminaries were so quickly and quietly ar
ranged that Thompson was munching his sec
oud cracker before any one except his compan-
ions got on to the game.'' Butch with the
placldity of giant frog swapping up an impa-
tient lily, nailed third of his first cracker
ground it to dust and swallowed it. The re-.
mainder of the cracker followed suit, aud a
second and a third, after undergoing the same
slow process OF dlsintegration. went down.
While masticating the fourth, observers no
tice that his eyes be5an to bulge, and that his
breathing became painfully iabored, but he
bravely added to the deposit of farinaceous
dust in his interior.
Il never" said a bystander, saw such an
awful attempt at a smile as Butch made when
he bent his upper lip over the fifth cracker. His
throat must have been as dry as the inside of a
stove pipe, for he had to squirm TO force every
particle down. and whenever he made mo
mentary pause to catch his breath little bits Of
flour pulled from his mouth. -
Thompson stuffed tie last quarter of the fifth
cracker into his mouth with a do or-die sort Of
air, but il wouldn't go down, and 10 gasping for
air he in an unlucky moment opened wide his
jaws. 1t seemed as though something exploded
within him, for out of his mouth burst gust of
towery dust that enveloped him completely.
He gasped for water as well as his condition
would permit, After he drank quart he said !:
Take the money; every mans a chump once
and while"

Repeal the Sherman Silver Law.

Repeal the Sherman Silver Law.
Notwithstanding the fact that the national
/ democratic platform calls for the repeal of
the sherman silver purchase act, many
! democrats in congress. while condemning
the act. do not seem 20 favor repeating II
unless they have assurance OF the passage
of some other measure that author
lies further increase in sill
yer currency. They understand
that the Sherman oct is working injury 70
the business interests OF the country, and
that II it is not repealed soon it will be
( productive of financial troubles, but they
/ prefer TO disregard the will OF their party,
| plainly expressed in its platform, and run
I the risk Of financial disaster, rather than
abandon their purpose to still further initiate
the debassd silver currency.
Some Of the leading democrats, among
them Senator Carlisle and Representatives
Cochran and Harter, are earnestly urging
the repeal of the Sherman act without any
regard as to what shall be done in respect
to silver after that act is repealed. Ssna-
tor Carlisle said the other day, in an author
lied inteTvie Y. that be is IN favor OF repeal
ing the Sherman act and OF not bringing
into force again the Bland law. He wants
silver legislation wiped out altogether, be-
cause he believes 'the country has all the
silver it can stand or consume at present. :"
It hos not been very long since Senator
Carlisle was voting in favor of the free
coinage Of silver. but within the last few
months his views on the silver issue have
undergone a radical change. He admits
that he made mistake in advocating free
silver coinage under existing conditions,
and that the best interests Of the country
now demand that the purchase Of silver
shall be stopped.
This country cannot safely undertake
alone the RECOMMENDATION of silver. II it
should attempt to do so it would be over
taken by financial disaster, and those who
are now loCdest in demanding free silver
coinage would be the first to demand diff
ferent financial policy. The only way sill
yer can be successfully remonetized is for
the commercial nations TO act together IN re-
spect to it. The surest and quickest way
to bring about an International agreement
relative to silver is for this country to stop
purchasing silver and then refuse, for the
present, to make any further provision for
it. The other nations would then be forced
to unite with US in establishing an inter-
national ratio. This is clearly the view of
Mr.. Cleveland, Senator Carlisle and many
other leading democrats.
The republicans are not going to permit
the repeal Of the Sherman act during this
congress If they can help IL. they expect
the democrats to control the Senate as we'll
as the House in the next congress. and they
prefer that the democrats shall take all the
responsibility for whatever silver legisla-
tion there may be. They cay, at least the
majority OF them do, that the Sherman act
ought to be repealed, but they don't want
to share the responsibility for repeating it.
Politics is permitted to stand In the way of
doing what is demanded by the best inter
ests Of the country.

A Columbian Picture for Telfair.


Why not purchase one OF the great pict-
ures that will be exhibited at the Columbian
fair for the Telfair academyi There are a
number of pictures in the academy that
were among the art exhibits of fairs in
Europe. 1t would be in keeping, therefore,
with the policy that has been pursued in
purchasing pictures for the academy to OBJ
tain one OF the vast collection from the art
centers OF every country that will be found
at the Columbian fair.
OF course, such a picture as would be
wanted for the Telfair academy would cost
considerable money. How shall the money
be raisedl That is an important question.
and one to which great deal Of careful
consideration should he given. There is no
doubt that the money could be raised and
that, too, very easily, provided the right
plan should be adopted. There are people
an every part OF this state who would give
something, and also IN other states who
would willingly contribute to fund for su h
an object Among the hundreds of visitors
to this city who have spent pleasant hour
or two in the academy there may be few
rich people who would gladly lend helping
hand to SO commendable an undertaking.
And Savannah people could be depended
upon for a liberal donation. They are al.
ways generous. They would feel special
pride In having Il picture in the academy
from the art exhibit of the greatest fair the
world has ever seen.
The money can be raised. There is NO
doubt about that. Let u few energetic and
enthusiastic citizens get together and map
out a plan for raising the money Let
some one take the lead. and half the battle
will be won.

Echoes of the Briggs Trial.

The acquittal of DR.. Briggs on the charge
of heresy has not lessened the interest in the
case. On the contrary, the interest in it
seems to be increasing. The question now
is,what will be the effect on the Presbyterian
church il the general assembly reverses the
decision of the New York presbytery, and
by a vote of condemnation drives DR..
Briggs out of the church,
Leading Presbyterian ministers in New
York and elsewhere are giving this ques-
ton good deal of attention. The opinion
Briggs for heresy will be followed by a
division in the Presbyterian church. Ii
DIR. Briggs is condemned all OF those in the
New York presbytery who voted for his
acquittal, as well as those who voted for
the acquittal Of DR.. Smith in Cincinnati,
will feel that they, too, are condemned. As
they believe their views and teachings are
right they will follow DR.. Briggs and DR..
Smith, aud the opinion is advanced that they
would have the sympathy and support OF
very large part Of the Presby terians Of
the country.
1t looks very much as il the Presbyterian
church were close to troublous times, and
that if division comes it will not be sim
ply division into Presbyterians of the new
school and the old school, as was the case
when DIR. Barnes, OF Philadelphia, was con-
victed. The best men Of the church are
worried by the condition Of affairs which
confronts the church, aud do not yet see a
sure way out Of the difficulty.
