DIR. George r. Sullivan, long one OF The
most prominent physicians of New Jersey,
died at his home in Pennington. on Tues
day evening last, about 8 o'clock. lie
had suffered for years from rheumatism
and various other diseases, aud had been
confined to his home for long time.
His sickness was checred by visits frcm
numerous friends, both professional and
others aud he found great comfort in lit
erature as well. As conversationalist
lie had few equals, and his store house of
information on all subjects, made him
valuable as well as an entertaining friend
SMELLS biographical sketches of prominent
men in speaking OF the DIR. says:
George r. Sullivan, of Pennington, son
OF James T. Sullivan, of Pennsylvania,
was born in Maryland in 1886. He was
graduated from Newton University, re
ceiving his degree of NJ. d. in 1857 from
the Maryland Medical College. He re-
moved 10 Hunterdon county In 1860, To-
eating 10 Pennington, and laboring sue
cessfully as physician until July, 1862,
when he entered the service of his coun-
try as assistant surgeon of the Fifteenth
Volunteer Infantry Regiment. After two
years service with this command he was
(lS64) appointed surgeon of Thirty ninth
Regiment, and served until peace was de-
clared. Few surgeons rendered more
continuous service in the army than DR..
Sullivan. and certainly none more valua-
bic. From the battle fields of Virginia he
returned TO Pennington. where he resumed
his professional duties, continued uninter.
ruptedly until the present time, with the
exception of few months visit TO Eur
ope in 1880. His practice is extensive,
and he is ia frequent request as consul
ting physician. He has rare ability as a
surgeon, and has performed many of the
most important operations which have
claimed the attention OF the profession in
the State"

the late Col. Gorge F. Crater, in 1877.

to fear. From every part of the country
come reports of veterans Of unimpeacha-

still stronger proof than that which has
taken them years to secure. Injuries re-

for the poor veterans who have been drop

ing veterans, who have been dropped
from the roll of honor, which are not
bounty jumpers and frauds, as the Hon.
Hoke Smith would like people 10 believe:

B!oquet, aged II years, helpless. They
all have first-class war record aud re-
ceived the noble sum of eight dollars per

1t was for the relief of such that The
fifty first congress passed the disability
bill, and it remains to be seen If the coun-
try, when heard from, will allow such an
Interpretation aud translation of the law

Hon. Commissioner of Pensions are now
giving it.

Now, word as to the general sanity
and honesty OF the Colorado people. All
talk Of reputation or violence that few,
rendered desperate by losses, indulge 10, is
deeply deplored. l am positive that the
rauting against England and Wall street
and the wild financial notions that few
speakers exhibited 10 the Denver and
Chicago silver conventions do not repre-.
sent the feeling OF the free coinage busi-
ness men OF the West. In the last named
convention there was, however, far
more understanding Of the merits OF the
demand for moro money as held by such
men as Nicholson, Balfour and Andrews,
and far more knowledge of monetary sta
tistics, sich as are contained in the Soet-
beer-Tadssig tables and United States
Treasury reports, than the daily press al.
lowed TO appear. To hold that In tue
purchasing power OF commodities silver
has not fallen but gold risen, and that q
more stable and, therefore, honest money
would be silver, Is position not to be
dismissed by mere sarcasm. There are
sufficient good arguments In favor of do
ing nothing TO destroy the parity OF got

The Accident ON the Creek Road.

From Correspondent.
An old man who was not pleased with
his daughters beau said concerning the
Young mans family, that he did net know
as the Nortons really meant to lie, but
they had terrible way of setting things
out, and Josh Billings says that the symp.
toms Of malaria and laziness are so near
alike that 1t is hard to distinguish between
the two.
Now, don't know the chap TINT intend
ed to lie that furnish ed the Dispatch t, tie
Associated Press concerning the accident
that happened to Mr.. Augustus Holcombe,
at the bridge on the Greek road, but the
symptoms point that way very strongly,
though he may only have been setting
things out
1t seems to me that It would be almost
impossible to make more misstatements
In an item of the same length, than there
were in the one furnished the New York
Tribune of Sunday morning.
The facts OF the case briefly stated are
as follows:
Mr.. Holcombc had horse tied TO a
tree at the bridge, and at exactly o'clock,
p. Nj. the horse broke loose. Mr.. Hol.
combc went after the horse, and after
having been gone from 10 to 10 minutes,
he returned TO the bridge with some severe
bruises on the left side of his head, which
were bleeding freely and certainly did
look fearful. As naturally would be the
case, tho mans ideas were somewhat
scattered, and his conversation not very
connected, but he was perfectly conscious,
aud has remained so until the present
time, except when he was asleep. Mr..
Holcombe saw no man or otherwise.
The Doctor says that he is doing all
right and does not think he will need far.

should think that a reporter for pa.

The probabilities OF the case are that
Mr.. Holcombe was kicked by his horse,
as he was close to the horse at the time,
though he does not know where he got
hurt.
He expects to resume work at the
bridge on Wednesday.

Insumoleney of Gold as world standard.


But why not accept the simpler conclu-
sion, and acquiesce:in the use of a single
gold slandard2 The broad argument
against this conclusion is the widely ac-
cepted fact that gold is steadily gaining
larger purchasing power, and that long
contracts made in gold work hardship.
One OF the elements Of q sound money is
stability and II is quite as Objectionable
that the Monetary standard should grad
ually depress prices by subtly growing
dearer, as that 1t should gradually initiate
prices by subtly growing cheaper. The
slatistcians are not fully agreed; but the
best authorities seem TO be ranged upon
the side that regards silver as having de.
parted far less than gold from the aver
age value Of staple commodities. 1t is an
extremely difficult question, and it Is not
wise to dogmatize about 1t or to speak In
a superior tone. But 1t is fact that sil-
yer is the money metal Of majority OF
the worlds inhabitants; and 1t might be
argued with some show OF reason that, ii
bimetallism is an fgnis fatuus, and the
whole world must come to single metal
lie standard, then silver would be safer
and more satisfactory money substance
than gold. With the earnest contention
OF the West and South that silver ought
TO be full money metal, we, for our
part, agree emphatically. The logic that
makes gold the standard Of value in India
cannot rest satisfied until China and
South America are on that same basis;
and the depressing effect Of this success
sive conquest can tut be very severe and
very widespread. Gold monometallism
cannot stop at the present lines: and its
universal adoption would in our Judgment
be more baneful than a transfer to silver
recommendation. From The "Progress Of
the World" September ReUieO Of Re-

OF the company to enlarge its New Bruins

for the work drawn up, when tho Mar
