days past were somewhat checked Sat.
afternoon by showers. The fire which
entered the large cedar swamp of the
Abbott estate has nearly ruined the en-
tire swamp. Friday afternoon the
fire, famed by brisk wind, began burn
ing fiercely nearthe cranberry bog of the
Abbotts, and as all the men were absent,
the female pickesrs were compelled to go
and fight the fire, carrying water in
buckets and kettles. Several wagon
loads of men arrived later and by hard
work succeeded in getting the cranberry
bog out of danger. The loss to the cedar
swamp will be quite heavy.

Pleasantville in the apast. few months,
but / sincerely believe much more will be
said in the future. 1 have known Plea
santville at least twenty years and have
often remarked when passing to and fro
from Atlantic City that Pleasantville al

until recently. 1t appears that while
we were so. infatuated with Atlantic
City we overlooked the most beautiful
part OF New Jersey. Our friend, d. l..
Risley, deserves much credit for his Ell
forts in this direction for he has really
made Pleasantville what it is to-day.
He pressed the button and the public is
glad to do the rest. He Is the only man
who has taken the trouble to show the
people what Pleasantvllle is worth.

IIOke Can't Fool 'Em.

The last of the crowds that came to
hear the discussion Of the currency ques-
tion have departed. Hundreds who
came expecting to see some new light
cast upon che question by the secretary
of the interior We're disappointed by
hearing the stock arguments Of the gold
bugs presented. AS an able lawyer rep
resenting bad cause Mr.. Smith pre-
pared his case in the best possible man
her and presented it to the people with
all the skill that he could command,
but he didn't fool anybody.
The excursion would have convinced
any unprejudiced person that south
Georgia is practically solid for free coin
age. Notwithstanding the fact that the
railroads advertised the occasion ex-
tensively as IToke Smith day, with the
secretary's picture on every handbill,
the majority Of those who came were in
favor of free coinage and left stronger
in the faith than ever.-Cordele Goa.

What Is tho Matter?

For three days the sound money"
committee Of the Chamber Of Commerce
has neglected to inform us that the 'sil-
yer craze is dying out, and has also re-
Trained from supplying interviews with
people who thought the Chamber Of
Commerce ought to keep up the fight.
If the Chamber of Commerce has let
go to get a better hold, it may be more
serious matter with q number Of news
papers in the west and south than it
will bo with the United States treasury
when the bond syndicate permits gold
to go out
The treasury has the United States
behind it, but these newspapers have no
support from the people of their locali-
ties and depend entirely for existence
upon the New York chamber Of COM
merce, the Gold trust and the admins
tration
The administration, of course, con-
trols the policy Of these newspapers, but
there is no salary attached to q postoffice
or collectorship, either of customs or
internal revenue, which will enable q
man to live respectfully and at the same
time foot the weekly deficiency of run
ming a newspaper which fails to repre-
sent the views Of the majority Of the
people in the community where the pa
per is published. New York Mercury.

A Double Dealing Bi1netallist.

The most notable thing in Mr.. Horr's
opening statement lin the Horr Harvey
debate) was the demonstration that he
had entered the debate under false pre-
lenses. After saying that he understood
that the question in dispute between
him and his opponent was as to the wis
dom of restoring free coinage at the
ratio OF 16 to by independent action,
Mr. Horr asserted that he was not an op-
ponent Of bimetallism. BY that asscr-
tion he implied and meant to imply that
he is a binletalliet and not q gold mon
ometallist, He wished it to be under
stood that he would be III favor Of the
restoration Of silver coinage under al
international agreement
Bat no then proceeded to show, unwit-
tingly,of course, that he is not bimetal-
list at all; that ho is totally ignorant Of
the scientific principles Of biuetallism.
and that he is nothing moro or less
than All extreme gold mon6metalIist,
sailing under false colors. San Fran

VICTORY FOR SILVER
An Interesting Confest in Grea&er
New York.
The New York Mercury Inaugurates
Novel Plan for Finding Out Just
How the People stand on the
Financial 4euestlOn-A Large
Majority for Free Coinage.

1t was regarded all over the United
States as very daring, even foolhardy,
undertaking, when The Mercury an
nounced OH the morning Of June "a that
it proposed to test the sense of the peo-
pie Of New York city and Brooklyn
upon the question:
Shall the United States government
open its mints to the free coinage Of sill
ver without waiting for agreement with
Great Britain Or any other European
nation, and at ratio Of 1G to L?
Such stalwart advocates of the re-
habilitation Of silver as the Atlanta
Constitution in the south and the Gin
cinnati Enquirer in the west thought
that the result Of such ballot must be
But the editors of these journals and
OF other newspapers through the coun-
try did not know the people of New
York and failed to appreciate their un-
derstanding of the evils that have been
brought upon them through the demon
etization of silver.
No one can read the letters which
have been published daily in The Mer-
curry, under the heading, "What the
Voters Say, without becoming deeply
impressed with the way in which the
workingmen have grasped the situation
and the intelligence which they have
shown in advocating free silver coinage
as the first thing to be accomplished for
their relief.
The Mercury has not solicited a sin
gle vote upon this question.
The votes, which have been sent in
by tens and ffties, and in some cases
by hundreds, have been gathered to-
gether by men who were Interested in
the cause, subscribers to The Mercury,
who a7ed each days paper SO as to Sc
cure the vote Of friend upon the ballot
printed therain.
But by far the larger proportion of
the votes have come in one at q time in
an envelope, with a 2 cent stamp on the
envelope, sometimes accompanied by a
letter, but generally not
So far as space would permit, we
have published these letters from day
to day, following the announcement Of
the vote, but when SO many We're re-
ceived some had to be left out.
The Mercury believed that it voiced
the demands Of the people in advocating
the free coinage of silver, but it did not
know it until this ballot was taken
The result is astonishing when it is
remembered that no effort was made to
induce people to VOTE 1t is more aston
ishing that SO few people voted in the
negative.
Question.-Shall the United States
government open its mints to the free
coinage of silver without waiting for
agreement with Great Britain or any

The result of the balloting was that
