A just but Lenient Judge.

An unusual incident occurred in the
city court at Savannah a few days
ago.. Judge Mcdonnell was tardy in
putting in an appearance, for which he
fined himself $40 and then promptly re-
mitted the fine. His honor went to see
his physician to have his arm, which he
recently injured, dressed, and the doctor
kept him a little longer than he had
counted on. When he entered the
courtroom, the hands on the clock above
the judges desk pointed to just 10 min
utes past 10.
Judge Mcdonnell took noto Of the fact
and saidi 'In accordance with the rules
of this court every officer who comes in
late is subject to a fine. The clerk viii,
therefore, enter a fine of $40 against the
court for hardness, to be paid into the
registry of the court. Owing to the
fact, however, that this is the first time
this thing has happened, and also that
the court had to be detained in order To
have its arm dressed, the clerk will re-
NIT the fine. "-Baltimore Sun.

The new Diana for the tower Of the
Madison Square Garden will be Of alu-
minimum. Copper was the material Of the
original cbaste goddess, who pointed
with her bow to the winds eye from that
lofty pinnacle awhile Ago.. The white
metal is far better for the purpose on
account Of It's comparatively small
weight for the bulk. II Is only about as
heavy as chalk. The wholesale price Of
IL has been brought down by improved
processes to $t.25 a pound. Perchance
aluminium viii, at some time in the fu-
ture, be the material universally en-
ployed for making statues.
Inasmuch as there Is plenty Of II to be
had, every clay bank being q mine Of It,
It may reasonably be expected that pro-
cesses will eventually be discovered for
separating it in unlimited quantities at
a comparatively cheap rate from the ma
terials with which It Is found combined
in nature. One important advantage
that it has for statuary and monumental
purposes is the fact that it does not cor
rode and ia as untarnishable as gold.
The aluminium Diana is being put to-
gether by a New York firm. She will
be 10 feet high, whereas her predecessor
was 10 feet in height. The sculptor, st.
Gaudens, and other experts were Of the
opinion that the original goddess was
too big. So they took it down and or
dered o new one, while the big copper
huntress was shipped 20 the Worlds fair

Old in dentistry and
Tor industrial uses is gradually in
creasing. Nor can the loss of gold
in other ways be left out of our
calculations. The researches of
Jacobs led him to the conclusion
that gold coin in circulation wore
out, on the average, in two hundred
and si%xty-four years. But enough
has been said to show that the
annual supply of gold is likely to
be insufficient even to meet the
present demands upon it, and alto
gether unable to fill the place now
filed, under various conditions, by
silver. This being the situation
as to the supply of metallic money,
the possibility of making gold take
the place of the present stock of
full le~gal-tender silver money,
even the countries where silver
has been in whole or in part dem
onetized, is quite out of the ques-
ton.
But another point of vital i'm
p~ortance arises here. Can we have
automatic regulation of money, or
of the money standard, with gold
alone as that standard? In other
words, is it possible. with gold as
the only money of ultimate re-
demption, to have such an adjust
ment of supply to increasing pop
ulation and wealth as to secure
anything like a stability of prices,
or, which is the same thing, stable
relations between money and pop
ulation and business? With no
new gold for money, instead of an
adjustment of money supply to in
creaslng population and business,
prices must undergo frequent read
justment to the relatively reduced
quantity Of standard money.
Hence it is within the bounds of
true economic deduction to say that
with gold alone automatic adjust
ment of money supply to needs Of
money, or automatic regulation Of
the money standard, is impossible.
Consequently, to give up silver in
wolves the overthrow of the vital
principle of automatic regulation
of money. Which, then, shall it
be-gold and silver automatically
regulated by the production of the
mines, with free coinage Of both
metals as it had been for indef-
mite ages before 1873, supplement
ed by treasury notes under such
limitations and regulations as will
secure at all times the ready con-
vertibility of the paper into met

The memory Of the Globe Dem
ocrat is short and treacherous.
During the last session of the fifty
second congress it encouraged
every species of obstruction in the
senate TO prevent the passage of
the anti-option law, and commend
ed the ~liberality of the rules of
that body, which permitted effec-
tive obstruction against it. Now
it uses the words, fanatics"

in referring to the senators who
have taken advantage of the same
rules 10 prevent the total democrat
ization of silver. During that ses-
sion there was at all times as large
a majority in favor of the anti-op-
ton law as there is in present ses-
sion for the repeal of the purchase
clause of the Sherman law, but the
other fellows OK was gored then.

INTERNATIONAL BIMErALLIsM.

The futility Of international
agreement TO adopt a common BIZ
metallic standard was shown by
Senator Cockrell in a recent speech
in the senate who read extensively
from reports of the international
monetary conference of 1867 to
show the part taken by Senator
Sherman who, he said, had never
been given proper credit for his
efficient work in aid of the estab-
lishment of the single gold stand
ard. To that conference the Unit
sd States sent Samuel Ruggles as
It's representative, but Senator
Sherman was in Paris at the time,
unauthorized, and he was intro
duced to the conference. That
was the only opportunity the
United States had to secure an
international bi-metallic agree
ment, but it was rejected and SEN
ator Sherman was more RESPONSE
bic for its rejection than any
other man. international BIZ
metallism is q mere dream" he
declared. I'VE might just as well
seek an international language.
international bi-metallism was
prevented when the language Of
the world was confused at the
tower Of Babel"
John Sherman and his c~onfreres
now hold out hope Of such agree
ment only to accomplish the COM
plete overthrow Of silver. He is
too well known to further deceive
the friends Of silver.

Did you ever stop to consider the fact
that the inhabitants of this earth have
never seen but one side of the moon, and
TO inquire the reasons why such Is the
case2 The explanation is this; The moon

the same geographical region Of thelunar

PLANTATION usually calls for another, IL
may not be out Of place to mention the
fact that the reasons the two motions Of
the moon above referred to 80 nearly
coincide are these;
The moon is not a true globe, but Is
very elliptical in form. II did not in all
probabilities originally start on its axial
rotation with precisely the same velocity
with which It moved around the earth,
but the very best astronomers say that
the two motions were not far apart in
the start. Assuming hat the moon was

More than that, it wouldperpetu-

fail to remember) hat the Sher-
man act was introduced by Il gold
man as a compromise to defeat the
passage of a free and unlimited
coinage measure at that time; and
the silver men being weak enough
to accept it, it is now being used
as an argument against us. In
our desire to defeat the repeal of
the purchasing clause of the Sher-
man act unless that repeal be ac-
companied by a measure in favor
of silver let us not forget that the
Sherman act itself is not a meas
ure favorable to silver, not a meas

way of benefit to silver or silver

the chief, probably the greatest
cause of the present low price of
silver, for it reduced it from its
former place as precious metal to
a marketable commodity, Auctuat-

that the silver senator's are so
bravely and uniiinchingly fighting
against unconditional repeal. II
congress showed any sign of doing
what is wise and just for silver,
the silver men would be the fore

the unconditional repeal Of the
pernicious Sherman law. The
President is therefore right, let the
fight be fought out on the clear
issue, and let there be no compro-
