and mildly-spoken brethren, to say the
least.
Therefore, on Monday, Mr.. Pass,
more was ''locsted," which is a tech
nicsl term to signify that he was re-
moved from the conference and cast
forth to 60 where he would. Yester-
day morning, however, this action
was reconsidered and Mr.. Passmore
was reinstated in the conference as a
''Supernumersry." This means that
he is still a member of the conference
and at liberty to preach sermons
within its boundaries whenever called
upon, but that he will have no regular
charge for year. Ministers are often
relieved from duty for year in this
way for illness and various reasons.
Mr.. Passmore was made a supernum-
erary at his own request, as he plainly
expressed his intention Of going up
and down the land on lecture tours,
advocating honest reform and expos
ing hypocrisy wherever he found it in

Honest Money.

EDITOR ADvoCATE:-Let us meet
the pretended sOlicitude of Cleveland
and Sherman for honest money with
the shibbOleth of "honest dollars and
plenty Of them" the dollar of the
fathers and of the constitu-
tion which no one dared to Inn
peach up to 1873 when it was illicitly
struck down in the house Of its friends.
At that time 1t was more valuable than
gold, and no earthly reason can be
given why it should not have remained
so, If it had not been dealt q series of
staggering bloWs,st the instance Of the
champions Of gold, by the congress of
the United States, which, not content
with dropping it from the coinage act,
followed that up by declaring it no
longer a legal tender in the payment
Of debts, and with still another
act authorizing and encouraging
money lenders and syndiCates to
make contracts payable in gold;
so that, though they lent paper
currency, they could exact the scsrcest
precious metal In payment, and then,
having cOrnered gold, making it i'm
possible to pay it all, and thus be ena-
bled to clean him out, rake in the pile
and turn him adrift. And thus silver,
ignored and repudiated all round
(while gold is unduly exalted by the
same acts) sinks in value compared
with the latter, and Cleveland and
Sherman and their satellites take ad.

it as cheap and dishonest dol

EDITOR ADVOCATE:-The press fre.
cuently refers to the sentiments of
John Sherman in connection with
financial matters. Which John Sher.
man do they meanH From the follow.
in9 sentiments there are evidently two
of them Ia the country, for in q letter
q GrCeabeck, Of Cincinnati, dated j uly
rs, 1873, Senator Sherman of Ohio
wrote: "The argument showing the
dangerous effect upon industry by
dropping one Of the precious metals
from the standard Of value outweighs,
IA Sny mind, all the theoretical objeC-
ficns 10 the bimetalliC system"
And again, in 1876, the same John
sran made a silver speech in which
~ stated with great clesrness that
gmetimes silver has declined below
old value and sometimes gold has de-
tsInei ia value as compared to silver,
Sometimes the variation is one way
and sometimes the other; therefore,
lhe mere fact Of variation is not an OBJ
lection to either silver or gold as a
standard, and ought to have no weight
h the argument. The two metals have

EDITOR ADvocATE:-There are few
the old school left who remember
thegIant Isbors of Greeley and Wendall
Phillips in the cause Of humanity, and
The younger generation ought TO be
posted in the virtues and the doctrines
CE these giant leaders and exponents
~ YepubMcanism, who may be said to
haye ushered the republican party into
existence and carried it forward TO
1iumph and glory. But alasl they
were forced to witness its utter demor-
lization and conversion to O.
narty of spoil as it surrendered
itself to the money power and
vent the road of the fallen angel.
Hear their lamentation: ~ remem-
beT, said Phillips, ''that the republi-
can party, in it's hot youth when it had
conscience, did much toward freeing
the colored man. But / see that now,
the willing tool Of capital and the
banks, and with a thimble-rig system
0f national bonds, it is doing far more
10 undermine our institutions and en-
slave the white man. The battle to-
day Is between men and money, and
The real unseen leaders of the republ-
can party are the shylocks. PriVl-
legged and incorporated wealth is one
cf the two great dangers that here
threaten popular institutions, and the
republican party is its servant and or
gan. Every lover Of liberty should
therefore toll and pray for its destruc-
tion.
And Greeley said: "We have stricken
the shackles from millions of human
beings, and brought all labOrers to a
common level but not so much by ele-
waiting the former slaves as by prscti-
cally reducing the whole population,
white and black, to state Of serfdom.
While boasting of our noble deeds, we
are careful to conceal the ugly fact that
BY our iniquitous monetary system we
have practically nationslized a system
Of oppression, which, though more re-
fined, Is not less cruel than the old sys-
tern Of Chattel slavery"

the lsborers and producers, are onto

Another Preacher OFF the Track.

The closing sessions of the Methodist
conference Of Colorado at Trinity
church yesterday were conVulsed over
the consideration of the case of Rev.
E. E. Passmore. Mr.. Psssmore, it will
be remembered, is the preacher who in
a sermon at the Peoples tabernacle
last winter arraigned some of the most
prominent leaders of the Methodist
church in Colorado, both laymen and
clergy, for completely with the liquor
traffic and other public evils. He &C.
cused them Of preaching prohibition
and then voting the republican ticket
straight and helping to put the most
corrupt ring in the state In office.
Chancellor Mcdowell, Governor Evans,
DR.. Mcintyre and several other promi-
nent MethodistS came in for severe
drubbling on this account, Passmore
saying that they had joined hands with
the lowest slum element to elect the re-
publican ticket, and were to just that
degree responsible for the liquor traffic.
He scored Governor Evans for running
street C srs to make money on Sundays
and said the reason he was not de-
nounced from the pulpits of the de-
nomination was because he was rich
and able to contribute large sums to
the church. Long before this, Pass
more had preached so furiously against
saloons and saloon people while pastor
of charge in Breckenridge that dyns-
mite was placed in the church and the
belfry blown off, presumably by those
whom he had aDgered by his boldness.
Therefore, it was plainly seen that
something must be done with the fear
less preacher at the conference this
summer. His uneompromising way Of
casting the truth around prOmiscuOusly
in large, unsdulterated fragments was
disconcerting to bis more conventional

manH And, if so, don't it embOdy the
whole argument on the question: At
any rate / plant myself on it and ex-
pect to stay there though John Sher-
man may back water and the party
stray after false gods.

Indications That the Holt Will Is
to Be Offered in Court.
McChOrd and John Holt Expect TO
Leave To-day Memorandum OF
the 1886 VIII Never Seen.

No intimation was given yesterday by
the representatives OF the benefcarics
under the VIII of the late Judge Holt TO
indicate whether the instrument viii be-
offered for probate, but i1at is small evi,
dence that it VIII not be-
A good deal OF attention has been given
to the fact that portions Of the paper
upon which the viii is written are miss
ing, and much ingenuity exercised to
show that the viii might have been re-
voked by words written on these missing
parts. The futility of such evidence to
break the VIII is shown when the manner
IN which the viii of lS4S was revoked
is considered. In that instance Judge
Holt, presumably with his own hands,
made little case or envelope for the
will.
1t is OF the same paper exactly as that
upon which the Will is written. Upon
the back OF this envelope, and not upon the
will, the sentence is written which nulli-
fies that instrument. II is possible for
the attorneys for the heirs to demand such
an envelope for this VIII OF 1873, and as
sert that a'revocation was written upon the
back Of it. 1t is not probable that a jury
would pay much attention to such plea.
The legatecs will demand that the ques-
ton be settled upon the facts, and the
writing presented, not upon conjectures OF
what might have been done
A search has been made in the Judge
Advocate Generals office and other places
at the War Department for the viii sup
posed TO have been made in 1856, and for
something to throw light upon the discovery
of that OF 1873. but nothing has been found.
Much has been said of a slip Of paper
bearing memorandum of a will Of 1876.
The words upon it have even been printed
in quotation twice, but nobody has yet been
discovered who can give the present location
of this bit OF paper. When Mr.. Washington
Holt was in Kentucky he was supposed TO
| have it. Upon his arrival its possession
| was transferred to Mr.. John w Holt.
But he seems as igDorantas anybodyaS to
| its present abiding place.
Mr.. Chord, representing Miss Hynes and
Mr. John Holt, expect to leave the city
| to-day or tomorrow. This may be taken
as an indication that the will is TO be in
! court to-day.

BEGS DEAD MEMS GARMENTS
How an Old Swindler Works On
Bereaved Families Sympathies.
Thought 10 Live Bet ween Washington
and Baltimore and 10 Sell His
PIunder In New York.

The police have been requested to look
out for and arrest most uncanny swindler
who deals in the clothes OF dead men and
women. The man is described as about
seventy years of age, with long white hair
and beard, stopped shoulders and Il foreign
accent.
His scheme is 10 read the death notices
in the newspapers and on the second or
bird day after the burial of a person, TO
all upon the family OF the deceased and
ry TO get some or all Of the dead persons
clothing.
The swindler's appearance is in his favor
His garments are old and tattcrcd, and
he story he tells is calculated to move a
marble heart, muca less one of flesh and
blood In case the recently buried per-
son is a man, tie aged sharper relates
.earful story about his invalid son who is
just able To leave the house after having
been confined to his bed for scvcral weeks
or months The son can get position,
out his clothes are in rags ard he cannot
make prcscntable appearance To look for
employment
ut Oll man dlSD states Nlll liils'il anu
wIfe are very poor, and on the verge OF
starvation. The bereaved family, whose
hearts are bowed IN sadness, Weld in
nearly every instance to the old mans
appeal, and he usually leaves the house
Of mourning with a large package of
shirts, pants, vests, coats, shoes, hats, and
other articles OF apparel.
In case the recently buried person was
lemale, the same story is told, the swindler
substituting an Invalid daughter for
son.
The police are Informed that the old man
lives in one OF the towns OH the Baltimore
aud Ohio Railroad between this city and
Baltimore, and that he has no family and
is a miser. The clothes he gathers from
sympathetic families are sold To second
hand dealers here and elsewhere. One OF
the fayorite places for dispuSing OF his
collections is said to be the "Old Clo' EX-
change" in New York.

Mr. George d. Hopkins. manager OF the
concern, said % The Times yesterday
that he was totally gnorant OF the
failure until Informed OF ii at his home
in Alexandria on Wednesday evening
on arriving here he was informed by Mr..
Silsby that he had failed 10 receive
large remittance due from his New York
correspondents and he feared that he
would not be able to raise the amount be-
fore the opening OF the market yesterday
We hen decided" continued Mr
Hopkins, Ito make an assignment, and
that was done at / o O'Clock yesterday"
Mr. Silsby made a statement to The
Times also in which he said that he had
assurances of such financial aid from his
New York correspondents as would Justify
him in reSuming business in a few days
Several WaShingtonians made offers of
money to Mr. Silsby as soon as they learned
OF his Embarrassment but he declined
them, preferring TO exhaust his own re-
sources, before accepting aid from his
friends
The assets consist principally OF debts
due Mr.. Silsby, who is the company, nd
amount to about $4,000, half OF which
is due from pers sons unknown to Mr.
Silsby. He has been doing business also
in Baltimore, Philadelphia, and Atlantic
City
The confident hope is expressed both by
Mr Sisby and the ma nager that the credit
ors will be paid off dollar for dollar.
