A Policy Accounted For.
From Columbus tGao Enquirer-sun Dem,.

United States Senator Stewart, one of
the bosses of the free silver movement, is
said to be one of the largest silver mine
owners in the world. He has abandoned
the Republican party and prostituted his
public service in the Senate to his silver
mines in the west. The product of these
he Is willing to unload on the people at a
big bonus and at the expense of a wrecked
national financial system.

Mr.. Fleming argues at length on the ia
Vorite line of the silver monometallists
that the lower prices of our products are
due In great measure to the appreciation
of gold. He does not concede the full eff
in every line of production from agricuI-
ture up, and does not tell us why 1t was
that the value of gold measured in most
OF the agricultural products of our country

Some Curious Points Brought Up for
Legal Decision.

Some Curious Points Brought Up for
Legal Decision.
From the Chicago Chronicle.
In Vermont a young man sued a young
woman to recover his engagement ring, she
The supreme court decided that the engage
ment ring was conditional If the young
woman refused to comply with the condi-
tons she must return the ring. The penalty
of defyjrg the court is not stated, but every
woman should understand that in keeping
the ring of a broken engagement, even as a
scalp on her chatelaine, she may be nabbed
by the officers of the law.
A Massachusetts, case shows the attitude
of the law with reference to the imponder-
able transfers Of love and affection. In this
case a man offered to transfer his property
to woman If she would engage herself to
him. This she did. but before the deeds
" ere put III shape he died, and the woman
brought suit to recover the promised prop
erty. The lawyers for the heirs commended
that the woman had given nothing in return.
The court, however, decided that the prom
Use of the woman was a consideration, and
she won the suit.
The question Of conside ration comes up in
another suit. In this case a married man
offered to give his wife 81 for every kiss she
gave him. The fulfillment of the bargain
she scrupulously claimed. Years afterward
wife brought him the proceeds of her kisses,
dollar for dollar. She had saved them. His
creditors claimed the money. Suit was
brought they contending that the transfer
was illegal, the woman having given nothing
in return, the right to kiss the wife being
within the rights of a married man. The
precedent for this view is found in 142 Penu-
sylyania.

SOUTHERN GOLD MINES.
Deposits OF the Precious Metal and
What Hns Been Realized.
From Atlanta Oia.j Journal,

Deposits of the Precious Metal and
What Hns Been Realized.
From the Atlanta (Ga.) Journal.
The gold-bearing regions Of the United
States are well defined There are two
one on the Pacific slope, embracing Califor-
MIA, Montana, Colorado and several other
states, and the other which Is known as
the Appalachian field, extending southwest
erly from Virginia through North Carolina,
portions of Alabama and Tennessee. In this
region there is undoubtedly large guam IT,
ty of gold, the richest deposits being in
Georgia and North Carolina.
The Georgia mines were yielding finely
when the discovery of gold in California
caused a rush from our mines to that state,
and since that time the Georgia mines have
never received as much attention as they
did before.
The time is undoubtedly near at hand,
however, when the gold region Of this state
will be the scene Of great activity.
Up to 1873 the southern mines had yield
ed 20,052, 0O6-not an inconsid cradle amount
when viewed in the aggregate. The pro-
duction in 1873 was very small, Georgia fur
nishing $35, 437 and North Carolina $l2O, 1872
The yield has not varied mucn, as is shown
by the reports of the director of the mint
who assigns s97, 200 as Georgia's share for
1893, $53 800 as North Cardinals. and only
$4,000 for Alabama, IN conjunction with
Maryland. Tennessee, Virginia, Vermont
ard Wyoming. The aggregate production of
North Carolina up to December 81, 1893,
was s11, 726, 629.90; Of South Carolina, ST.
221 ,500.59; of Georgia, 50, liz, 32SO5 of Ala
bama, $242, 994. 10, and of Virginia, $1,754,-
