 What miraculous experience, then, has wrought this wondrous revolution in the financial views of The Great Secretary" If his opinions were so fallacious then, Tn the face of these facts, of what possible value can they be now2 That he has the right to change his opinions l do not question. Other men, as great, perhaps, as hims elf, have done so before him. The conversion of Saint Paul was as sudden and possibly as miracu- lous as his ewn, but Saint Paul was never ashamed to acknow- ledge himself Christian; and having adopted the principles of MT. Sherman, l can see no reason why "The Great Sectretary" should hot openly ayow himself q republican.

In Memory of Mrs. T. H. Matthews

An, who can measure the .Qnut terable loneliness of the home so suddenly bereft of wife and moth erl Inexorablc death has come, and in single week wrought a work which months and years cannot repair; made beart-wounds which no lapse of time can heal. Unstayod by prayers and tears, he has performed his task, and buried a cherished friend, a lov- ing wife, and a devoted mother, down into the long, unbro<en si- lence of the tomb. One who has been loved and cherished with much affection. who has been the light and joy of many hearts, has been removed from all the scenes of earth. Her sun went down while il was yet day; her hopes withered like the broken leaves of tiny flower; her desires of flu ture good and future pleasure, lie with her in the grave, and sorrow sits breeding over the scene with tears and lamentations. No more will her bright smile and gentle voice greet her husband on his re- turn to his row desolate home; no more will his heart Do eheered by her kind attentions. The hand that so often ministered to his comfort, lies still in death; the lips which have uttered such kind words, are motionless; the heart which beat with such fearful in- tensity for the welfare of her children, IS pulseless. The weary watch has ceased; the undying love is ended; the tears have all been shed, and the last gush of maternal tenderness has had it's flow. Now she slumbers, disturb ed not by the summers sun nor the wintry blast which sweeps over the field of graves-unstain- ed by sin, and unterrified by any of the assaults of foes. And who on earth would wish to summon her again to thls world of sin! Who would have her exchange her harps of gold, her crown of glory, her robe of righteodsness, for the enjoyments and sorrows of this world2 Who would dis turb her song of glory, which to- day is swelling out with angel an- thems, and coming up before God with acceptance? No, let no mur- muring thought find it's way up to her pure abode-!et her body re- pose in peace beneath the bosum of the earth, and her spirit live eternally in heaven.

WE are informed by goIdites that if the free and unlimited coin age of silver idea should obtain in this country that gold would go to q premium and retire from eireu- lation. Suppose, tor argument sake, that it should, who would i. iniure? Ii you could take a silver dollar and pay Il dollars worth of tax, dollars worth of debt and buy dollars worth of meat or bread, wouldn't that be good enough for you? Suppose that from some unexpected cause mnles should become great deal cheap CT than horses, and mules would answer every purpose to which a horse could be used, wouldn't mules suit you just as well as horses2 and is itnot reasonable to
 
 suppose that owners of horses would soon see that, owing to high prices of their property, and a perfect substitute being at hand :, no one would purchase from them? Would not they come to the price of the substitute? The same would be true with the gold owner. When he found that no one want- ed his gold at high price he would come to the price Of the money in use, in order to dispose of it all.

 Ii IS very amusing to see squibs in the goId-bug press to the effect that the free silver sentiment is giving way before the march of ideas, as if there had been any ideas marching around on their side of the controversy. It is somewhat like casting pearls be- fore swine, but The Enterprise feels constrained to tell them that as long as patriotism shall live the desire for the coinage of silver at the present ratio, and on terms preclsel y equal to those provided tor gold, will be the dominating sentimen. of the masses of the American people. As well may they talk of the passing away ot our ma estic rivers and our lofty mountains, our social customs and our varied industries; for the de- sire for silver coinage is founded on principles that are equally as primitive and lasting.
 There is in this country. in round numbers, only $600,000, 900 in gold coin, and this is constantly being diminished by payment of foreign debts and balances of trade. That this is not enough money is admitted by every man of sense on all sides of the contro- versy. The Administration side proposes to supplement it by mak- ing other kinds of money redeem able in gold coin, or, in other words, with credit money. The silver men propose to supplement 1t with cash, absolute, or redemp- tion money--money of equal dig nity and of equal power, that needs no redemption and could therefore never be an element of danger in the contraction of the currency. Now it would follow as logically y as a conclusion from correct premises, and as certainly as the night the day, if the admin istration plan should be adopted that the vast amount of credit mon- ey would be a constant menace to the volume of the currency The sli ightest panic would cause a run for gold, and corporations issuing the credit money would break be- fore half of it could be redeemed. Thls would greatly depreciate the the unredeemcd part, to the loss of the people and the disturbance of trade.
 On the other hand, the silver men propose to supplement gold coin with silver coin, and to make the same kind of dollars that are passing at parity with gold coin. fit should still be necessary to increase the volume by n paper is sue, the redemption money, being both gold and silver, would be sufficient to meet the requirements in case of run, and the panic would result in less contraction and in no loss.
 A Il the talk about sound money, honest money, &c., is simply de- vice to raise smoke and fog to ob- scure the real issue. But it will all fail. The people are not all fools, but they are wide awake and duly sober, and the silver craze will not blow over.-Fordyce Enterprise.

THE free silver people number 5 to 1 in the United States, to-day, and in Arkansas there are ten to one. The people of the United States are going to have silver money coined on an equal footing with gold and the gold-bird had just as well come down off his perch.

Proctor Knott on Carlisle.

lucky, in recent article in the Courier-J ournal, severely criticis ed the present attitude of Secretary Carlisle on the currency question. Taking as n text Carlisle's eele- brated speech in the Forty-ffth Congress, in which he demanded emancipation from the "heartless domination of syndieatcs, stock exchanges and other great eombi- nations of money grabbers in this country and Europe" Mir. Knott concludes as follows:
 It is claimed, however, that "The Great Secretary" has Il right to alter his opinions, and that he has been led to do so on the great question of free coinage by the cx- periences of the past fifteen years. A Il this is MO doubt true and 80 far as 1 am personally concerned, 1t would be a matter of supreme indifference if he changes his prin- ciples as often as he changes his linen. but one of more inqaisi- tive disposition might ask what particular experience in that peri cd has transformed the devoted defender Of popular interests against "the heartless domination of syndieates, stock exchanges and other great combinations of money grabbers in this country and in Europe" of fifteen years ago, into the anointed apostle of the plutocratlc gospel of to-day?
 Has he not seen what he then denounced as "the most gigantic crime of this er any other age" perpetrated to almost the last tragic endlng2
 Has he not seen his dark est forebodings as to the results of its consumation realized almost to the letter?
 Has he not witnessed with his own eyes what was then prefgur- ed to his prophetic vision?
 Has fe not observed the con. stant appreciation of money and the constant depreciation of pro perty?
 Has he not seen the great stap- les, won by the toil and privation of the "struggling masses who pro duce the wealth and pay the taxes of tho country sink down, down, 10 less than 50 per cent of the for mer price?
 Has h, not seen the mortgage
  debt of the country grow to the almost incalculable proportions of s2,5oO, ,oO0,O00?
 Has he not seen the wealth of our people pouring with the most astounding rapidity into the eof- terS of those syndieates of which he then protessed so much dread, with the corrolative inpoverish- ment of the laboring classes for whose welfare he then expressed such affectionate solicitude?
 Has he not seen our industries paralyzcd, our great enterprises embarrassed, and millions of men citizens of this great republic, like himself-houseless, homeless and friendless, roaming from place to place begging for leave to toil that they might allay the bangs of hunger?
 Has he not seen moro distress and discontent, more destructive strikes. more disastrous riots and more sullen hopeless despair among the wage-workers of the country within that short period of fifteen years than in all others in our history combined?
 Has he no, seen this fair land of ours swept by the most devas- tating financial cyclone that ever visited the human family, conjar- ed up by the foul soreery of those same unholy examinations of money,grabbers ill this country

Chauncey NJ. Depew, president of the

In New York yesterday regarding the
report that the Vanderbilt interests
would predominant in the reorganiza-
ton of the Union Pacific system, and
that the result would be that the Van
deroilts would practically secure con-
troll OF the road and so would satisfy
long cherished wish to own a trans
continental line, replied:
We saw the story printed while in
the West but there is not the slight
est truth in It. The report may have
grown out OF the fact that Mr. Hugh
~ ana myself were appointed mem
bers OF the reorganization committed
but that Is the only framework on
which to build the story. We are
not trying to work any scheme of that
kind"
1t is said that among the provisions
Of the Union Pacific reorganization
are these:
An assessment Of $40 on stock. for
which preferred stock may be given.
An issue of SlOO0OO,O0O Of per cent
bonds for the firsts and government
debt
An issue of s75OoooOo of preferred

Bondholders viii get now bonds at
par and five shares Of preferred stock
for each $1,000 Of bonds The common
stock Will probably remain unchanged.
People who are now applying for an
interest in the Union Pacific under
writing syndicate are told that they
are too late, and that earlier applicants
are getting much less than the amount
applied for. The plan will probably be

j. T. Black of Limestone county was
In the city yesterday, having accom-
panied shipment Of two carloads
of one and two-year olds, which he
was shipping from Mexico to Ed Car
YER Of Henrietta. Mr., Black is an eN-
tenslve buyer of cattle, having been
closely associated with Burke Bur
nett, and is u close watcher of the
cattle market. He thinks that the
prices asked Mt present for cattle
are too high and that holders of cattle
expect too much from the present
scarcity OF cattle, which Mr.. Black
does not deny. This scarcity Is es-
pecially noticeable with regard to
yearllng cattle for delivery next spring.
MIR. Black has also noticed that bank
ers and others who have never be-
fore bought cattle are this year in
vesting, and that If the regular cattle
men wish to stock up they will likely
have to pay good prices, MIR. Black
does not think that the moving Of
Mexican cattle into Texas, when the
embargo is lifted on October %, viii
materially affects the cattle market.
