The witness also testified that he

Fruits From Advertlstpu.

Thousands of prosperous business men in the United States who have made returns to the government of large incomes attribute their success to advertising liberally in the nswspa- pers, Major Moses P. Handy, the well Known correspondent. relates what a concern did with nominal capital of Sl60 900, only s30,OOO of which was paid Tn. There were three partners i'm the business, but they were advertisers and m a single year their profits amounted to s75O. 900. exclusive of sal. arcs of $50.OOO and $25 900 drawn by two members of the firm. Ten years ago, says Major Handy, one of these partners was drug clerk on a small salary Tn a western town. Now he is a miiilonare and d resident of New York. Without advertising" he says.

bonded debt of the country, and yet you and those with whom you train insist that gold shall be the only money of ultimate redemption. that silver coin, money of the constitution, money that has stood the test of centuries, is only kept good by reason of gold reserve in the national treasury. Do you not see that that gold reserve has only been kept up by increasing huge. interest bearing debt, which must eventually be paid by the country p And yet a few poll parrots in this country say "that the United States, single-handed and alone cannot enter upon the experiment of free and un- limite coinage of silver at Is to l." The fact is that she cannot long maintain her credit on a gold basis because her debt may be increased at the option of the Rotchilds syndicate. and this increase together with the natural appreciation of gold under a gold standard, will sooner or later bankrupt the government and the peO- x1l..

In that event we presume the Bald Knob branch would be practically abandoned, and Forrest City would no doubt be largely bene- fited by the change.

BACK FROM LIBERIA.

HE TIMES has no special interest m the negroes except that common to hu- manity, and we care very little, indeed, whether they go to Africa or to any "Other seaport, provided we are assured that our colored friends are not jump ing out of the frying pan into the fire." The negroes, as a rule, will never cease being fools. They are superstitious. always ready to listen to every "cock and bull story" that comes along, and always suffer the evil consequences. If they would quit this, and act intelli- gently, we could part with them with out a regret. But they are dear to us a.id we don't want to read of any of the negroes of our acquaint- ance getting themselves into any such mess as the three Jefferson county ne. groes, mentioned in the following dis patch from Philadelphia, under date of July SOth. which we take from the Com mercial Appeal of Wednesday. The dispatch says:
 At the Wayfarers' Lodge, Lombard street, homesick and destitute, are three negroes of Arkansas, who have returned from Liberia, whither they went as colonists some months ago. Of nearly hundred companions in the ex- petition some are saiG to have died of starvation and others are eking out a wretched existence in Africa. The three men are farmers of Jefferson county. Arkansas. Frank Shelton, one of the men, has a wife and four chil- dren there; J. R. Tucker, another. has family, and Ebenezer Russell, the third, is unmarried, They say the In ternational Migration Society of Bir- mingham offered twenty-five acres of land to every colonist, and used as in- dorsement the name of Bishop H. M. Turner, of Atlanta. Ga. The subscri- bers were required to pay s4l in ad : vance by installments and their pas sage to Savannah. In return they were to be given their passage, food and the land on arrival. The ship sailed in March for MOrOvi&, with ninety seven colOnists. who were in the care of the sOciety's secretary. The men declare they were simply dumped ashore and allowed to shift for themselves. A score of their comrades died of fever. and some, it was reported, perished by starvation. Work could not be secured and the flesh of dead animals and snakes, was seized upon with avidity for food. Shelton and his two neigh bors saw no hope for them in the colony and succeeded in obtaining passage to Liverpool and thence to Philadelphia. They expect help from Arkansas, which will enable them to return to their hOmes."
 If any of our colored friends think of going to Liberia, our advice to them, offered with sincere desire to befriend them, is to go slowly. Know where you are going, what you are going to do, take enough money along with you to bring you home If you don't like the place. Get information as to health climate, soil, products. cost of living. etc., from disinterested sources. aud from persons who have your interest, rather than their own, at heart. It will be "cold day in June" for you fel- lows if you take any chances. and un. less you are determined to "go," you had better stay where you are. If you cant wait," however, why go along quickly, and may the Lord help you. You will furnish an example for others.

GREENBACKs and silver certificates and all forms of credit money, are re- deemable in coin, at the option of the government. Under Mir. Carlisle's ruling, owners of this paper money may demand it's redemption in gold, and thus the quality of ultimate re- demption money in silver is destroyed, :, and in defiance of law, and all reason :, we are put upon gold basis. In order to keep up this forced and unlawful practice which benefits not sole in the United States excep the few hold CTS of United States bonds and of gold coin. it has been necessary to issue
 Sl62,0O0 900 of interest," bearing bonds in period of thirteen months by the present administration, It must be plain to any man with common sense CT ordinary comprehension, that to maintain this single gold standard the issuing of bonds must be continued indefinitely. As a result of MT. Car. Asle's whim, (we are not allowed to say treachery that would be termed aemagogy) millions of silver is allow ed to remA n idle in the treasury, while the people are compelled to pay inter- est on bonds sold to obtain gold with which to discharge obligations which are under the law dischargeable in silver. We know of no other word to describe this action. It is robbery plain and simple, and there can be no cad to it under forced monOmetallism. The way to end this scheme of the money power is to elect western man to the presidency on d free coinage platform.

THE BATTLE ON BRASS RIVER
Details of the Fight Between the Explorers and
Nof;vaa


London, Feb. 25.-Advices from Rear
Admiral Bedford, in command of the
Cape of Good Hope and West Africa
station, who has been cooperating with
the land forces of the British expedition
on Brass River, Guiana Coast confirms
the report of severe fighting in that
locality. The Admiral adds that Lieu
tenant Taylor of ;he Royal Navy and two
men were killed and five men wounded.
The British advanced up Brass River
on February 23d, captured several
rebel stronsholds and destroyed a num-
Der of war canoes. Many of the natives
were killed and the main body of the
rebels retreated into the interior. The
following day the British advanced
further inland, and after sharp fight
ing captured and burned the native town
of Nimbi. The natives, who lost heavily,
fled from Nimbi to Bassouia, followed by
the British, who shelled the last-named
town, but did not proceed further in
land. Sir Claude NJ. Macdonald, who
personally directed operations, sent an
ultimatum to the rebels that unless
they surrendered and gave up the prison
ers captured at Akassa a month ago,
further attack would be made on them.
A later dispatch from Admiral Bedford
says the British expedition consisted of
the gunboatS Wlugeon ana Ihrush, TWO
steamers belonging to the Niger protecto-
rate and the flagship st. George. On Feb
ruary 2lst the rebels in twenty-five war
canoes attacked the British force at Sa cri-
flee Island, but the fire of the natives
was ineffective and three war canoes
were sunk, after which the rest retired.
The following day the intricate channels
of Brass River were buoyed and the
creek reconnoitered.
AT daybreak on February 3d." con-
tinues Admiral Bedford's dispatch, 1--WE
commenced the attack, and after an OBJ
stinate defense of position naturally diff
cult, a landing was gallantly effected and
Nimbi completely burned. The forces
were withdrawn the next evening. after
the residence OF King Koko and the
houses of other chiefs had been de-
stroyed."

JUDGMENT CREDITOR GONE

MARCHER STOLE A MARCH
A Jeweler Who Has Caused Something of
Sensation
He Said He Was Going to Indio, but Detective
Lawson Could Not Find
Him There

On February 18th, Frank A. Marcher,
residing at 302 North Seventh street, left
home saying to his wife that he was com
ing down town to make a settlement with
Samuel A. Lyons, the wholesale jeweler,
from whom Marcher had purchased $4,000
worth of diamonds and who had been
given a judgment for the amount by
Judge Mckinley.
Marcher has not been seen since that
date and is very much wanted man.
Lyons gave the judgment to Sheriff Burr
to execute, but that gentleman could
neiter find Marcher nor any of the goods
Fraud having been alleged Judge Nc
Kinley appointed Commissioner Rollins to
take the testimony. Among Others who
testified was the defendants wife, Mrs. G.
A. Marcher, who was on the stand and
claimed that her husband was at Indo.
Detective Lawson at once proceeded there
but claims Marcher had never been near
the place. Within the past few days let
ters have been received from Colorado Off
cials, alleging that Marcher made an at
tempt to defraud creditors during his
stay in Colorado Springs. For this he was
arrested and it is sid confessed after
serving two weeks in Jail at Denver.
After his confession officers dug up in the
back yard of his residence a box contain
ing Jewels valued at $500. These were
turned over to his creditors, the Green
Smith jewelry concern of Denver being the
heaviest
Marcher then came to this city and
opened up jewellery establishment at 204
South Spring street 1t was at this time
that he purchased $4,000 worth of jewelry
from Lyons. In payment he gave notes
secured by 900 shares of Lokomo mine
stock.
The notes came due in August last and
Marcher requested a little more time, at
the same time giving Lyons voluntary
statement of his assets, showing him to
be worth 1888, 604 in property and cash not
exempt from execution. His creditor was
finally compelled to sue, and was given
the Judgment which he is now making
strenuous efforts to satisfy. Marcher was
represented by Walter Rose, while Lyons
retained General Johnston Jones and
knight and Simpson.
kilograms have been sent out asking for
Marcher's detention, but it is thought he
has fled to Mexico. Chief of Police Dana
of Colorado Springs has written to
parties here stating that Marcher's rep
resentation while there was very bad.

A Long List OF Representative Citizens Who
Want the Salt Lake Road Built at Once

While wandering around town yesterday
a Herald reporter met several prominent
citizens and asked them whether or not
they favored the issuing of bonds for the

Without exception they were ali in favor
of the measure.

: rates several large oil wells near Whittier,
said: II am in favor of issuing bonds to
build the Salt Lake road. | believe some
measure will be passed at Sacramento so
that the people will be allowed to vote
