Let Silver Alone.

If Brother Bland and the rest OF
them would only let it alone there
is no reason why the silver question
should worry the United States
any more for some time to come.
England is a great deal more both"
cred by the fall Of silver just now
than we are, and it is not worth
while for us to impoverish our
selves to help England out OF
trouble in India.
The reason that men like Bland
who is honest and not a mere
jobber in silver-are so persistently
wrong is that they cling to acad-
emic theories to the disregard of
facts. That silver has become
merely commercial commodity is
not due to local Legislation of any
kind, 1t is simply a fact. The de.
velopment of commercial inter.
curse between nations has com
PEELED the universal adoption o a
single standard Of exchange, and
by natural selection gold has be,
come that standard.
1t ls simply a fact that the bal
ance of exchange are settled by
this standard, and consequently
that any nation that chooses to
adopt or to retain a lower stan-
dsrd must get the bad end of the
bargain. II MI. Bland had his
way, England would still buy our
wheat at gold prices but would pay
for it in silver. That would be
good for England but very bad for
Us.
Of course we are interested, as
large producers, in promoting the
use of silver, but the best way to
do that is to let it alone. We can
no more put mp it's price by leg
islaon than we can put up the
price Of wheat, We simply
have to wait till prices ano
some of the other nations make uI
their minds what they are gong te
do about it. We do not need to
do anything.-IhilG. Times.

Herewith. Captain Hedborg was

This he did, and Secretary Lamont

The old persecution was renewed,
with Lieutenant Nancy as it's ring

THE SECULAR" PAPER AGAIN.


who is inimitable az a satirist, finds
full play for his faculty in the "new
wrinkle" of some of the New York
papers, that o fdescribing the toilets
at church for the Monday morning
issue.
The descriptions, says Mr.. War
ner in Harpers for February, "are
to some people more attractive
reading thanithe reports Of sermone.
They appeal to the aesthetic sense
and raise emotions which the most
eloquent diecourses cannot reach.
Would not many a sinner be in
duced to turn his steps toward the
SANITARY by such announcements
as these; pretty Women in Pretty
Gowns Pretty Gowns at the
Churches 'Faultless Creations
Worn by the Ladies at the Houses
of Worship"7 Especially when
the names of the women are given
in full, so that the descriptions
can be verified. The descriptions
are not CHANGER shots by dazzled re-.
porters; they are minute and &C.
curate, and could be used by a
modiste for the reproduction of the
costumes"
It may be the fashion in the East
to dress to the top notch Of the
mode for church, but THE ARGUS
would have Mr.. Warner know that
a severer and more correct taste
prevails in the South. Bot this is
not what TIE ARGUS expects to.
The animus of Mr.. Warmers crit.
cism, as in a woman's postscript, is
revealed in the CLOSING lines:
"What if the churches had bulle.
Tin boards in front, with big display
lines Of the attractions within, like
the theater posters9 Would not
then an ~unheeding generation know
where to 60? Is not this union of
the newspaper and religion n of
the signs of the times2 When wo-
men study their toilets for the
church and have them reported in
the newspaper, surely some kind
of millennium is at hand. But the
newspapers engaged in this work
should no longer be called secus
lar"
The sheer at the "union of the
newspaper and religion" is in bad
taste. One might uncharitably
suggest it springs from the fact
that the newspaper is crowding out
the slow and sleepy magazine. 1t
may not be a profound in the
discussion of social, moral and re,
ligious topics as the quarterly or
monthly, but it is much fresher
and more entertaining, The fact
that tie daily newspaper is over
stepping secular" bounds shows
how closely in touch it is with the
people. 1t may stoop to folly, as
Mr.. Warner indicates, 5ut it's un.
erring instinct keeps it in the right
path. The church and the secular"
newspaper r doing good work to-
gether, and MI. Warner should
level his shafts to easier marks.

RIGHTFUL TRIBUTE TO A GALLANT
SOLDIER.

The numerous friends of Gen. A. Med.
McCook, who foregather all over the
United States, when there is any occa-
sion to rally them. are very much con-
cerned OF the lact that that gallant Off
Ger will be obliged, by the requirements
OF the army regulations, to give way to
the retired list next April. This gallant
and fiery soldier has had time to make
himself popular everywhere. He be-
longs to the celebrated McCook fighting
family, and fighting family it proved
itself to be during the late unpleasant
ness" The McCook family tumbled into
the war pellme)l, to the number OF ten,
one father and nine sons. Four OF them
were killed outright and two more dis
abled for life. 1t was in these opera
tions that this eccentric family earned
the distinction OF the fighting Nc
Cooks" Certainly no family ever
earned it with more impreseement.
Gen. A. Med. McCook personally is a
very pious man, but he has been known
to both pray and swear-the latter, OF
course, inadvertently.
But, waving these aspects OF the ques-
ton at issue, Gen. o. .. Howard will be
retired on the Sth of the ensuing No.
yember. General McCook will also have
attained the statutory age on the 2lst oi
next April. His friends are anxious
that he should retire on the rank of
ma ajor-general, which would, of course,
affect, to a slight extent, the emolu-
ments OF the gallant old soldier. 1t is
true that General McCook is slightly
outranked as a brigadier-general by
General Ruger, and perhaps by some
other gentlemen who carry the commits
sion OF brigadier-genera in the regu-
| lar army OF the United States. But, as
q matter Of fac:, this noble repr esents-
tive OF the McCook family had received
the grateful votes of congress for gal
lantry in the field before these
! gentlemen, who are his seniors
in rank, had a chance to get their
I work in in the war OF the rebellion.
General Ruger is the immediate superior
in rank of General McCook. Should
the president, yielding to sentiment
that is popular throughout the who. 9
United States, appoint General McCook
to the vacancy created by the retire
ment OF General Howard, the ultimate
and Legitimate promotion Of General
Ruger to the rank Of mAjor-general
would only be matter of a few months.
That there will be an overw helming
sentiment in Los Angeles that General
McCook should GO ~ high as possible
