the club against the protests OF The
few signers of the call for the meeting
who were present, and proceeded to
indorse Congressman Catchings ac-
tions In Congress, as well as his candi-

the hall to organize elsewhere.

ELUCIDATIuS.

The intrlcaeies Of the silver question
are a puzzle to many who have neither
time nor inclination to devote to q
close study of the subject. The fol-
lowing elucidaiion from the Financial
Chronicle, with its practical iIlustra-
ton, may be read with interest and
profit by those who are perplexed by
the techuicallty Of ahst:r
The real truth Is thai this silver dol
lar crusade has with the decline Of
bullion gotten to be but little better
than conspiracy against the poor
man. An incident last week in q Wall
street office Of firm well known to
US illustrates 5 phase o: this objection
which every individual can under
stand. One of the firms clerks had .
aplugged" silver dollar passed upon
him; the plug came out while he was
still the owner. When he discovered
his situation he went to the mint with
bis coin, aud to bis dismay was told
by the officials that they could give
him but forty cents for II; thereupon
he took the dollar to the Office of an
exchange broker ouly to fiud out there
too that 1t was worth but forty cents
and that the other sixty cents was
"fiar of no greater marketable value
than the air he breathed. or course
the loss Of sixty ccuts is nothing to the
rich man but 1t Is large loss 70 the
wagc-6arner.
Such commonplace occurrence we
should hardly make room for were II
not that we are constantly receiving
letters, particularly from the South
which Indicate complete ignorauce
with reference to the real objection
which pertains to the further coinage
OF silver. That incident is 20 pract:cal
that It brings within the comprehen'
sion Of every mind the character Of
the attempt the advocates Of silver are
engaged in. An unmutilated dollaI
has IN II to-day about AZ cents wortf
Of silver and 5S cents Of "fiat." Mutt
late the coin In the least degree ant
the "6atn 10 gone and only the valu'
of bullion is left. Garry the idel
which these facts express one step far
ther, and the fraud in any propose
for further silver coinage under thu
present conditions must become mani
fest, for It threatens to take the "6at'
out of the dollar (the IS cents) an'
leave nothing for the one who happen
at the time to be the holder but tn
AZ cents, the bullion value. Ouly o.
long as the Treasury gold reserv
keeps the silver dollar interchangeabl
with the gold dollar and so support
the "fiat" will that portion Of its cuI
rent value be retained.

TO ALIEN LANDLORDS.

van PiuunOig see t1e De-
ginning of a decided change in the
system of labor and agricultural meth.
ods In use in this country. 1t is time.
Our prosperity has declined steadily
and with alarming rapidity during the
pas; five years. Indeed, even previous
TO that time it was at best but a
feverish aud unreal condition. SUD-
erstrueture builded upon the sandy
foundation of reckless credit. We
nave once before endeayored to remedy
'his condition BY the Importation of
labor, with the result OF pouring into
the Delta thousands of negroes from
the Southeastern States. The outcome
OF that experiment was disaster, as all
who made it will testify. We invited
Northern and foreign capitalists. They
came, they saw, they conquered. We
cast off the dominion of the cotton
factor for that of the money shark.
IL was the exchange of King Log for
King Stork. The result Is that acres
OF Delta lands are lying idle and un-
cultivated, the property of alien land
lords. As Mr.. Skinner most truthful.
ly said in his remarks before the con e.
vention on Tuesday, ifland lying idle
adjoining your plantation can be
rented for $500 per acre how can you
expect to rent your own for 5000 T?
Every year more and more of the
land of this county falls into the hands
Of the mortgage companies and de-
creases the value of that which re-
mains in the possession of the resident
owners.
This forfeited land is not desirable
acquisition to Its new owners. 1t Is
impossible for them TO make 1t pro-
ftable under the present system. They
do not even try. 1t is left burden
on their hands and au injury to neigh
boring lands, like dead limb on a
living body. The most reasonable
plan for relieving this condition is that
suggested by the immigration move
ment. These lands can be readily
rented or sold to a frugal, industrious,
and money making class OF people
people who would take up these
wastes in lots of forty or sixty acres
and, by expending on these small
tracts the amount of care and labor
usually scattered over 100 or more
acres, will make the Delta the garden
of careful culture aud example oi
prosperity for which nature so evi'
dently intended 1t, Let the foreign
owners of these forfeited plantations
now mere incumbrance to theil
owners and disadvantage to the coun
try, take vigorous hold of this theil
most direct hope Of realizing theil
Delta investments, and stock their idle
plantations with industrious small
farmers. The result will be as graft
flying to the now dissatisfied holder
of these lands as beneficial to the coun
| t y In which their money is invested
and in the prosperity ofwhlch they arr
chiefly interested.

Goodwin, a conductor on the James
River division of the Chesapeake and
Ohio railroad, shot and killed Fl. @.
Parsons at Gladys Inn. Parsons owned
the Natural Bridge, and had reported
Goodwin for some alleged offense. Good
win has surrendered to the authorities.
The complaint which Parsons had pre-
ferred against Goodwin was that he had
carried negro women of bad character
on his train without collecting their
fares and that some of these women SO
conveyed had insulted ladies of his Par
sons family while on the train.
Goodwin resented this charge by
drawing a revolver and shooting and
killing Parsons.
There is much excitement over the
affair, as Parsons was widely known.

SPRING VALLEY, June 29.-There was
sensational scene in Jnstice Whites
court here followed by a mad rush
on the part Of about 300 enraged for
eigners upon the prisoner, William
Pinkerton, who was on trial for an as.
sault on Anna Baroski, committed last
Friday. Pinkerton made leap out OF
an open window, but was soon over.
taken and beaten to death by the mob.
The rush occurred during the testimony
of the girl, her description of the out
rage committed by Pinkerton exciting
her friends and neighbors to avenge the
wrong. The justice and lawyers made
their escape soon after the trouble be-
gan, and Pinkerton was left to his fate.

WASHINGTON, June 20.-There has
been considerable talk during the past
few days of the possibility of a small
duty on raw wool, but there seems to
be no good reason why such a belief
should exist. Leaders on the republican
side do not expect it, and Democratic
no circumstances would such PROPOSE
ton be countenanced.
Speaker Crisp is still unable to attend
the house, and Representative Bailey
was again named to discharge the duties
of the chair.
A Breezy Sensation.
A rather sensational episode occurred
at 1890 in the senate. Senator Allen of
Nebraska moved to put all lumber on
the free list. Senator Chandler charged
that the Nebraska senator had made a
bargain with the Democratic side to OBJ
tain it.
In explainining his vote on sugar, the
announcement that he had not yet made
up his mind how to vote on tile final
bill, was a threat, AMI in getting this
amendment adopted he was completing
the bargain.
Mr.. Allen retorted that Ills vote and
action was none Of Mr.. Chambers busi
ness.
Mr.. Chandler said he proposed to
make it his business
Mr.. Allen subsequently obtained the
floor and replied to Mr.. Chandler's re-
marks. He claimed that he Allen was
not to be deferred from his purpose by
the senator, who put himself in the atti-
tude Of babboon on every possible oc-
casion.
