The bimetallists hold that free and in- dependent coinage at the ratio of 16 to l would result in the loss to this country of all our gold. The experience of the past demonstrates this beyond all per- adventure. The bimetallists hold further that free coinage should be adopted, but at ratio according to the intrinsic value of the two metals, upon an understand ing with other leading nations. The sill ger monometallists insist upon the free and unlimited coinage of silver at given ratio regardless of consequences. Can any sensible man doubt as to which is the wisest policy?

Before Miss Anna Gould's marriage the question of settlements came up. She refused to allow her brother to spec fly a stated allowance for Castellane, be- cause she insisted he was marrying her for love-not money. The titled gentle man made some comment whereupon the bride-elect coolly inquired, What are you going to do about it?" After some efforts tochange the lady's deci- sion, he decided to let the marriage pro- ceed. and he would take chances It is matter of some speculation now who signs checks.

The exciting debate recently held
in Great Britain owe the cotton
duties means much to the United
States, as the pivotal point of the dis
cussion was found in b%imetallism.
The house of commons is aware that
Great Britain finds her greatest
market for manufactured cotton in
India, the aggregate of which trade
has reached the enormous sum of
sl25,OOO,OOO annually. 1t is found
that the result of the monometallic
policy which has been forced upon
India has so curtailed this trade, by
taking from their patrons the where
withall to buy, hat excessive de-
preston is felt in all the manufacture
ing districts of England. The en-
thusiastic bimetallists of that country
are not slow to make the most of the
situation, and are pressing the cause
with great vigor. incidentally it
might be mentioned hat the papers
of Manchester have caught the situa-
ton and have lately turned them
selves into ardent bimetallists. 1t is
not at all probable that a change of
administration in Great Britain, which
may come within a month or two,
will result in the establishment of a
government friendly to b%imetallism.
The evolution of the silver idea is
fast taking place and is interesting
to observe. The Boston Advertiser.
n of the oldest as we'll as one of
the best metropolitan papers in the
United States, has taken stand for
bimetallism.

SHOCKING.
A Negro Criminal Butchered by the
Law in Georgia.

George Dean, a coal-black negro,
who murdered A. B. Leigh, a we'll
TODD farmer of Campbell for his
money and afterwards confessed the
crime, was hanged in Fairburn
Georgia last week. BY the order of
the court the execution was to be
private, but a crowd of 5000 ex-
cited people that had assembled,
tore down the high fence around the
gallows and made it public.
The wretched man had to be
hanged twice. The first time the
rope broke. Like a dead man he
was taken back on the scaffold and
again swung off.
During the morning Dean was
allowed to make a speech from the
court house steps. He described his
murder of the old mar and said the
love of money and ignorance of the
devil had done it.

CARLISLE'S BLUNDER.

Inter Mountain: Not long since
Secretary Carlisle informed the coun-
try the national treasury will contain
a surplus of something over $4,000,
600 at the end of the calender year.
When the statement was read in the
United States senate grave men shook
their heads and an incredulous smile
was seen upon the features of others.
Senator German didn't believe 1t.
He didn't say so, but his looks and
actions did, and his subsequent in
quiries and developments were the
result of his unbelief. And now he
comes with the statement that, in
stead of a surplus of s22,OOO,OOO, the
treasury will be forced to meet a de-
felt of $50, Co., 900 at the end of the
calander year and s6O,OOO,O0O for
the fiscal year.
Some one has blundered, and that
some n looks very much like Mr..
Carlisle. And some one is unfit to
be around the treasury department,
and again that some one strongly re.
sembles the Kentucky statesman.
The proceedings in the senate yester-
day were simply the aftermath of a
big harvest of the secretary's ignor
ance. Senator Mills got hot, Hill
was mad, Wolcott became inquisitive
senators forgot or laid aside their
dignity and became disorderly, the
seargent-at-arms was called upon to
quell the riot, German quit talking.

for the water company than simply

that that alone is IA pretty good snap,

water rents to vent a personal spite.

follow this course. OF course the

three delegates will select his chosen
