ally consumed. A crop of wheat, for
instance, or the greatest part Of 1t is
consumed every year. A great increase
or decrease in the annual crop of wheat
makes all the difference in the
world. But the mass of gold and sill
yer is the accumulation of centuries.
Some of the gold we are using now,
however often it has been recolned, ex-
listed probably IN the days of Solomon
or the Pharaohs-aId the animal addI-
tions to this enormous mass are CON-
paratively unimportant. That is like
wise the answer to another very COM
mon question, namely, that our pres
ent difficulties will ne augmented by
the increasing output of gold In South
Africa. No doubt they, are increasing
every year. hope they will continue
to increase, but unless they do so 10
proportions of which l do not see any
prospect, they will be absolutely Insult
icient to redress the mischief which IS
going on at present. Again, l hear it
said that if you did this you would be
making the fortunes Of the owners OF
silver mines in Mexico, in America and
in other 7places of the world. Well,
perhaps you would, but would any one
cf you refuse to receive gold for any
reason such as that2 know gentle
man now in London who is said to
have made fortune Of many millions
within the last few years from the gold
mines of South Africa. Well, you wei
come all that he can send you.
why should you refuse the silver? ?
Do we starye or freeze ourselves il
winter to prevent the owners of coal
mines from becoming rich? 1t Is real:
ly quite the weakest and the silliest of
all the arguments / know. There Is
another, l admit, which is deserving Of
much more serious attention. We are
the greatest creditor nation in the
world. Why should We take payment
for our debts In what is the least val.
liable metal? My reply is this: It bi,
metailists are right, there can be no
such thing as cheaper or dearer
metal. Their relative value will re-
main stable apd each of them will per-
form all the functions of the other.
What may happen. q0ite possibly, is
this. There may be some increase IN
prices, and as Wereceive payment for
our foreign de6t IL produce from other
Countries we may get somth!us less or
2roducs tb&n We act before. But lock
4C toe CtcIr siGo OE TIE picture for
nonent, IS 1t Just, is it wise, for the
crsdltor to push his debtor into such a
corner as we are doing now. by none
tary changes which have enormously
increased the burden of his debt? l DO
not care whether it is an individual, or
whether it is a nation, l ask them
both the same question.

A Large Whiskey Haul,

COLUMBIA, S. G., Oct. 5.-The big
haul of whlskey made by Chief Consta'
bio Holley, in Charleston, has besn
shipped to the State DispensarY, and ar.
rived here yesterday. 1t will be taken
to the Dispensary today and in a short
time will be bottled and sent out to the
County Dispensaries. The haul was
the largest ever made in the State and
the Charleston Evening Post estimates
that it vas worth $4,000. The Post has
the following about the haul:
1.-The State Dis soensar7 will not need
to replenish it's stock at State expense
soon. The constables made a haul at
the North Eastern Depot on Tuesday
night that will keep ths DispenarY in
stock for awhile. Between sixty.fVe
and seventy packages were taken By the
constables. 1t is evident that they had
been anticipating the arrival of the stuff
anu had full description OF it. The
packages wero marked hnilders' harj~
ware. tinware, sulphur, mineral water,
becon and copperas. They were 80

their contents and were received by the
road in good faith. The constables, six
or seven o: them, were concealed around
the depot all the evening looking for the
cars. They were opeued after hours to
accommodate the consignees, as is often
done by this accommodating road, bat
not in secret, for all the clerical force
was on hand. The packages were selzad
after delivery to consignee. 1t is estl-
mated that the liquor, which was il bar
rels, halt-barrels, kegs and cases, was
worth 5000. The confsceted packages
were taken to the South Carolina Road
for shipment to Columbia by Mr.. Con"
ME Powers this merniug. The copsta-
bles also seized forty -four packages OF
liquor at the South Carolina and Georgia
Railroad this morning. This was ship
ped with other seizures to Columbia"

THE POLICEMEN ROASTED.
Lawyer GCff Keeps Them Sizzling With
out Mercy.

New YORK,O:t. 3-Tnose who were
fortunate enough to gain admittance
to the sessions Of the LeXoW investiga-
tion committee today witnessed two
scenes decidedly dramatical in their
nature. Mrs. Urchittel. the Rus
| sian woman who. almost a
stranger in the country, running
small cigar store, was arrested OF the
charge Of keeping disorGerlY house
and kept in jail many months, treated
ss even the Gar of Russia would not
treat an American" according to
Chief Council Goff, was placed on the
| witness stand. She alleged that her
arrest was due to her refusal to pay
$50 to the police. Testimony of the
| witness remained unshaken, but the
officers who tried to explain the story
could not sgree as to the wav the thing
| happened. Mrs. UrchitterS children
are still In the orphan asylum and the
lamentations and the apparent mental
suffering of the woman eiicited Sympa-
thy from all those who witnessed her
examination. Steps will be taken to
recover her children for her without
loss OF time.
During her examination in the court
room, she caught sight of Offi 3er Hut
sey. She claims tha5 the T3rimau is
the author CT ali her WOES. Exctted!y
springlng up, she Started and dem6nd-
ed her children. It was with difficulty
she was paci6ed. Had she been able
to understand the Eagltsh language
and the American customs she must
have enjoyed exquisite revenge little
later when officer Hussey was called to
the stand. He expected to be called
upon to explain away his connection
with the case, out Chief Council Goff
INDUCED in another OF those dramatic
surprises which be is continually
springing upon the New York public.
Instead of reyertiDg to the events Of
the past few months, Mr.. Goff inquired,
"Now, Hussey, have you just Threat
ened to shoot man IN this court
room?' The lnterrogatory was an.
sWsred with negative, but Officer
Hussey grew red and white il the face
by turns when half dozen witnesses
testified that he threatened TO shoot
Norbarth Pfeffer, an East side Hebrew
employed by Mr.. Golf. The witness
nearly tainted in the court room at the
evidence presented against him to
show that he threatened to kill Pfeifer.
He reached for glass Of water and
drank 1t eagerly, intense silence reign
ing in the court room, members OF the
ommittee, policemen and strangers all
intent upon his replies. The scene be-
came painful one. Hussey told Mr..
Golf that he was under the doctors or
ders, that it would not do for him to
get excited, that it was his family he
cared for and not himself. With an
intimation that he would look into tue
matter, Mr.. Golf allow the witnes to
60.
One other event of unusual interest
occurred. Annie TryWsch, a young
woman who is keeping a news stand
on E sst Broadway, claimed that police
man Lynch asked her this morning If
she paid her rent. Receiving a mega.
tive reply, be told her that she would
have to pay him SIS. She failed to raise
the money and he arrested her and
took her to Essex Market, where she
was discharged by the police justice.
Then she came to the LexoT Commit
tee with the story.

CoURTLAND, Ala, Sept. 2S.-Abe
Abrahams, prominent marchant, was
publicly cowhided here today by MISS
Lucille Doss, daughter of Peter Doss,
Sr., proprietor of the Doss Hotel. 1t is
said that Abrahems made disparag'
ing remark about Miss Doss, which
reached her ears. The young woman
armed herself with coWhide and pro-
ceeded to give her alleged defsmer a
dogging, which brought streams OF
blood with every blow and made him
beg for mercy. Abrahams was also
attacked by a brother of the young
lady and would have been killed, but
for the interference of the shief of po'
lice who arrested all parties.

Evidences OF the Storm.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Oct. A spe-
cial from Key West says that fifty dead
bodies, victims of wrecks occurring on
the reefs during the recent storm, have
been washed ashore on the islands. The
dead are evidently sailors from vessels
destroyed, although the length of time
which has elapsed since the storm has
rendered the bodies beyond identldca-
ton through decomposition. The prob.
abilities are that many more of these
ghastly evidences Of the hurricanes
fury will be brought to light in few
days.
