WHY PROSPERITY RgTuRNep.

Because the Drift of Public Opinion Is
Opposed to e Silver Basis.
Secretary of the Navy Hilary A. Her.
bert delivered q strong sound currency
speech at Montgomery, Ala, on Oct. 4.
He said i'll part:
What our currency shall consist of
is a question to be decided on business
principles. There is a sentimental OBJ
lection to gold INDUCED in by some
that it is the money of the rich-but it
does not seem to me that this should
have any weight because, in my opinion,
the poor man is entitled to as good mon-
ey as the rich. There is a sentimental
argument in favor of the silver dollar
because it is said to have been the dol
lar of fathers 1t does not seem to
me that this argument should have any
weight, because it is not founded Oh fact.
1.-The fair presumption is that neither
your father nor mine nor any other
mans father who died prior to 1878
ever handled enough American silver
dollars to keep him out Of the poor
house.
Il know Of no more effective way Of
Crippling the south and its industries
han for our people to clamor for the
payment OF debts already contracted
and hereafter to be contracted in depre-
ciated silver dollars.
Fortunately for this country the
effects of tho panic Of 1898 are rapidly
passing away. Money has begun to flow
again il its accustomed channels. Wheat
has risen in price, cotton has risen in
price, iron has risen III price, industries
are reopening everywhere, wages are in
creasing, and all this N from the
fact that the capitalists of this country
who are shrewd, farseeing and who
watch with keen eye the doings of every
political convention have come to the
conclusion that the free silver sentiment
in the United States is not strong enough
and not powerful enough to force this
country to a silver basis.
"They understand that there is no
free silver sentiment III the east, none
III New England, none i'll New York,
one i'll Maryland, New jersey, Della
ware Or Pennsylvania.
"They see that Republicans and Dam
Ocrats in the state of Ohio have pro
nounced against free silver; that Re-
publicans and Democrats i'll the state of
Kentucky have pronounced against free
silver; that only part Of the Democrats
III the other states of the west and south
are for free silver, and they are conf
dent, as L am, that the people Of the
United States, whatever else may hap
pen, will i'll 1896 pronounce for the con
t~inuance Of sound money, for the parity
with gold Of every dollar Of silver and

thela late visit of the T P A. s to Mex ico the rate of exchange was $l.S5 in Mexican money for $l of American gold or greenbacks, while only $l .S0 in Mexican money was paid for an American silver dollar. When the writer marveled at this and asked why an American silver dollar was worth ess in Mexico than gold or greenbacks when they are all on a par at home, the gentleman making the exchange explained that since silver was heavier it was more costly to send it back to the United States than either the gold or the green backs. hence worth less.
 But the reader may inquire If the Mexican dollar is worth or'y it's bull lion value from day to day, why iH it that the American silver dollar, which does not contain as much sil- yer as the Mexican dollar, is worth practically two for one. The answer is simple and easy. The United States are on a gold basis; Mexico is on a silver basis. The American sil- yer dollar kept on a par and cou- vertible into gold because we have limited silver coinagein this country with the pledge of the Government and a gold reserve behind every dol lar of our circulation, while the Mex ican silver dollar, under free coin age, with no gold reserve, is worth only it's bullion value. To Illustrate this point further: One of our party went into bank ill the City of Mex leo to get q Mexican gold dollar, which cost him two Mexican silver dollars. The banker offered to ex- change even a Mexican gold dollar for an American gold dollar, but the purchaser declined.
 From this will be seen the cor rcctness of what is known as the Gresham law that where there are two monies in circulatio one cheaper than the other, the cheaper money drives the dearer out of cir culation and forces the latter to al premium. But we have an element of free silver advocates in this coun- try who contend that with free silver the prices of labor and products would increase correspondingly with any decline in the purchasing power of the silver dollar, and that i'll the end mankind, and especially the poorer classes, would be immeasur- ably benefited.

SUPREME COURT.
PARDON PAYS THE FINE.
So Say the supreme Judges in the Pureen
 Case From This County. a#zs

The Supreme Court yesterday passed judgement upon an import ant case from hiscounty whichinvol- yes the pardoning power of the Gov ernor and settles a very nice point of law. Itwas the case of $. c. Pur- cell, ex parte 46
 $. C. Purcell was indicted in the Jefferson Circuit Court for making an assault with deadly weapon, was tried and convicted of q simple as |sauIt and fined $50, On his application, the Governor of the State on the 18th day of May. 1895. remitted the fine. Subsequently, the clerk of the Circuit Court issued his execution for the collection of the costs and placed the same in the hands of the sheriff, and he there- upon arrested the petitioner and placed them in jail in accordance with the judgement of the Circuit Court. Thereupon the petitioner filed q petition for 8 wit of habeas corpus, which was heard and refused by the chancellor.
 In handing down the decision Chief Justice Bunn said:
 Upon reason, we think q general pardon generates from the epayment of tine fine proper, because that Is a public concern and takes away the criminal character of the judgment for the costs-the Imprisonment part ving the civil obligation still resting upon the delinquent to be en- forced as other civil obligations.
 There can be no right in officers or other persons to hold the party in confinement, because this would amount substantially to imprison- ment for debt.
 "The chancellor erred in refusing the relief asked for and the petitioner will be discharged from custody"

The game was very Interesting | from start to finish, the special feat ure being the work of ". F. Howel (Jumbo). His excellent stick work was only exceeded by his .exertions in the field. Right field was. never covered to such m advantage, aud the ball was show" in ,i well when knocked io right.
 Uncle Billy Hearn was strictly in it. His sliding would havemade any league player ashamed of himself.
 E. c. Howell pitched good ball and got on to Tomlinson's curves in good shape, making a home run on him every time. Ed. Howell the up to date bah player, kept his good eye constantly on the ball and made it his duty to keep the runner posted as to who had the ball He shows decided improvement in his batting.
 The game was q close one through out Capt. Jeter. the umpire, says he enjoys close games), the score being IT to 15 in favor of Rowland X Go.
 "Howeps Favorites' undoubtedly lost the game on account of poor playing done by Brewster. Baldwin, Neiderweiser and Byington, and it is whispered that Manager Howel will give the players mentioned one more chance before putting them on the bench.
 It has been very hard to get a com potent umpire this season until now. Capt. Walter Jeter is surely the right man in the right place. His decisions were correct, quick and delivered in business like way that warned the kickers that no monkey business'' would be tolerated.
 Everyone enjoyed the game hugely and before leaving the park arrange ments were made for another game next week.
