An Ideal Southern Woman.-The Tri- bune sanctum was honored this morning by Alabamas most distinguished citizen, Mrs. Virginia Clay Clopton The mere mention of her name and presence car ries with it every conception of the south- ern idea of an ideal woman. To this we can but feebly add that among the gen tier sex she is the center diamond of glorious cluster shining more brilliantly in her imperial worth than all others, and by her radiance adding a luster to the sister diamonds that cluster around and about her-Huntsville Tribune.

s1I,vER NOT sUBJEor TO LAW.

The silver monometalliStS have one argument that is very taking. They say that If this government would throw open it's hints to silver that the price of silver bullion would advance. They ar que that demand increases the price of an article, and illustrate their argument by saying that if every householder was compelled by law to cover his house with slate the price of slate would ad vance. If this reasoning was correct dthere would be a good excuse for their hdemand for free coinage. and they would gain a great many converts from the ranks of those who are not unfriendly to silver, but are unfriendly to debased currency. But unfortunately for them their argument is opposed to all the facts in the case.
 The stoppage of the coinage of gold or silver by one nation has very little effect on the price of the metal The price is governed by the demands of commerce, or by the cost of production. During the first eighty years of this government only $S000,O00 were coined, yet silver during that period maintained it's value and sev- eral times exceeded gold in value. For the first fifty years of the present cen- tury the mint of France coined both metals at the ratio of 15h to 1. In 1910 the United States entirely eliminated gold. because people would not coin gold at 15 to 1, for it was worth more. This ratio of 15 to 1 had been established by Jefferson and Hamilton. Did this stoppage of the coinage of gold decrease dts value? Not at all. England has changed her standards once or twice, and dropped the coinage of different coins at various times. When gold was the cheaper metal, several of the Euro pean countries denied it free coinage. When India changed her standard from gold to silver in 1885 the value of gold was not affected. These acts by differ ent governments did not affect the price of bullion of either metal. The enact ment of law by a single country can not enhance or decrease the bullion value of gold or silver.
 The price of silver did not begin to decline for several years after 1873. Then it continued to decline although the gov ernment was coining 1t under the Bland- Allison and Sherman laws until the GOO GOO to nearly $700, 900, 900. It is very evil dent that the slate covering" argument will not hold good as far as the free and unlimited coinage of silver is concerned, as the decline in price of bullion from 1873 to 1893 was equal to 50 per cent. and now that but little silver is being coined its bullion value is advancing.

Madison Comes Across.-Madlson county will be in Atlanta. Commission CTS court convened yesterday morning and worked at lively rate. The hrst thing of special importance done was to allow an appropriation of $500 for the Madison county exhibit to the Atlanta exposition. Some concern was felt about this matter but our commissioners were too progressive to allow an opportunity like this to escape. The money will be eX- pended in collecting mammoth and carefully selected exhibit of products of Madison county. Our commissioners think the Madison exhibit can be made especially attractive and consider the ap- propriation money we'll spent.-Hunts- vile Mercury.
 It's Good Story, Anyway.-A young man giving his name as G. w. Inscor, from Marion, N. C., enlivened the air on the 9th with romance which was inter- esting as we'll as improbable, says the Guntersville Democrat. He says that his brother John, a miner, was authorized not long ago by one Charles Austin of Asheville, N. C., to proceed down the Ten nessee until he came to a bluff answering the description written on way bill' left to Mrs. Austin by her father, MT. Boone on his death bed. The narrative claimed that In time far past Boone had hidden S6000 in gold coin and 5000 worth of gold dust. The hiding place described corresponded with the ledge in the face of Paint Rock bluff, sixteen miles below Guntersville. So the story goes that this John Inscor stopped there and tapped the face of the bluff 200 feet above the water until on July he struck ce- mented recess, which soon yielded to the blows of his hammer and revealed a small sheet iron box containing the treas ure alleged. The narrator claims that John Inscor left on the 9th for Ashville with the treasure.
