1t Is always q pleasure to the TIMES

ual excellence. In reproducing the
following from the Bolivar Demo.
crat this pleasure 10 commingled with
the pride OF long association and close
fellowship with the subject Of its
eulogium; the Hon. Chas. Scott. That
gentleman having been urged to apply
for the seat in the Senate now being
contended for, wrote q note Of declsn.
sion; which called forth q comment
from the Democrat of which the fol-
lowing is an extract:
Mr.. Scotps many friends will be
greatly disappointed on learning of bis
decision, for they. justly think be
would make an ideal Senator-ons
that would with untiring energy de-
vote himself to the interests Of the
State aud the nation, and would be OF
unusual value to the people inhabiting
the alluvial lands Of the entire Missis-
sippi Valley. His talent, his force Of
character, his personal magnetism, bis
ability a. lawyer and speaker would
give him great influence aud prestage
In any assembly OF which he might be
q member. Those who know him
best have unlimited faith in his capa-
city for work, bis great ability aud
unquestioned integrity. The State
could well be proud of such q Sens-
ter.

Easter Sunday was q memorable
occasion at st. James Church, the SER
vices in the morning aud evening be-
ing conducted by Bishop Thompson,
who preached two Of the most power
ful sermons ever heard from that
chancsl. The reputation Of Bishop
Thompson as q speaker is national,
and II was the general opinion Of the
great audiences that heard him at both
services that he never appeared to
better advantage. The church was
beautifully decorated with palms, vines
and flowers, hugh vases of white lilies
ornsmenting each side of the chancel,
while the altar was banked with white
flowers and every memorial window
was draped with ms-'es Of flowers
aud festoons Of green vines. The
choir at the morning service was CON-
posed Of Miss Jennie Yergsr aud Miss
Maury, sopranos, Mr.. Harry Ball, ten
or, DR.. Winchester, bass, and Mr.. Wal
lace Arnold, who played the alto cor
net, Miss Llndemann presiding at the
srgau. At the evening service Miss
Pollock was organist, with Miss Jen-
ME Yerger, Miss Maury, Miss Elise
Pollock, Miss Willy johnson, Mr.. Ball
aud DIR. Winchester In the choir. Gu
Monday the morning service was read
BY the Bishop. after which an election
for vestrymen to serve for the ensuing
year was held, the following named
gentlemen being chosen: Senior
Warden, VIM. G. Yereer; Junior
Warden, L. L. Nelms Vestry, ]. S

Whatever may be the effect Of Mr..
CleFelsBd's recent letter to The Chicago
committee, its motive places it on the
highest plane Of public duty. The
couLiry is threatened with ~ inteHsl-
ieation of the financial agitation,
which has prevailed for the past two
yssrs-keePiDg up the aneasiness and
uncertainty Of business conditions and
retarding the eoustry's recovery from
trade depression aud distress. The
increase Of the agitation, the growth
Of the effort to revolutlonize the COM
try's standard Of value, presents pos
tive menace to all trade and every in.
dastry and property, that the Prssi-
dent would arouse the people to avert.
His appeal is not on party lines, but
to the conservative elements, the busi-
ness interests as commonly styled, Of
the great nation.
OF the effect and nature OF the prop
osihon TO coin silver free at a ratio
unrelated to its bullion price, in dis
regard Of its parity with the estsb-
lishsd standard o: all values, the Pres
ident thus speaks in his Chicago letter:
"If the sound money sentiment
abroad in the land land is TO save US
from mischief and disaster Il must be
crystslized aud combined and immed-
lately active. Itis dangerous to over
look the fact that vast number Of
our people, with scant opportunity
thus far to examine the question In all
Its aspects, have nevertheless been in-
geniously pressed with specieus sag-
gestions, which in this tims ofdepres-
sion and misfortune find iIling listen
ers prepared 10 give crsdence TO any
scheme which Is plsusibly presented
as remedy for their unfortunate con-
dition.
Ii is time for the American people
TO reason together as members OF a
great nation which can promise them
q continuance Of protection and safety
only 50 long as Its solvency 10 unsus-
pccted, It's honor ansullied and the
ssundness OF Its mercy unquestionsd.
These things are ill-exchsnged for the
illusions of a debased carrency and
grsundless hope of advantages to be
gained by disregard of eur financial
credit and commercial standing among
the nations OF the world. II our peo.
| pie were isolated from oil others, and
If the question of our courrency ceuld
be treated without regard to our rsla
tions 10 other countries, its character
would be q matter Of comparativel,
little Importance"
| That the change Of those who advo
cate tho free coinage of silver at th'
16 TO / ratio from q tentative policy
course of denisls Of consequence
now admitted, 10 an aggressive atti
tude, has won strength aud followers
is plain. II is this fact that has movet
the President 10 warn the countr,
against the shadow of danger he fore
casts. That there is probability
even remote of the enactment of th,
proposition stated into law, we do no
believe. But there is real spprehen
sion that the movement will SO alarm
capital, so shake confidence, that th,
country's revival, now fairly set
ting 10, from the 1898 pani
win be seriously arrested. Can th,
country afford to take this risk, evel
IL the 16 to l cure.all were both de
sirable aud probable? This is th
question which Mr. Cleveland's lette
suggests

The Equal Suffrage Association of

Women.
CHICAGO, Feb. 13 The other evening
the Gu cago, Rock Island & Pacific Ra IL
way company caused the arrest of Mrs.
Mary freeman and her two daughters,
Fannie and Jennie, charging them with
an attempt to obtain money under false
pretenses. The Freemans claimed the
daughter Fannie had received injuries on
one of the company's trains rendering her
a cripple for life, and offered to settle for
5000.
Detectives employed by the company
investigated and found, as they allege,
that the girl was shamming. They are
charged with having worked several east
ern roads through a similar trick. 1t was
developed on investigation that they had
lived in Boston and had collected per-
sonal injury claims from the West End
Street Car company, the Boston d Maine
Railway company, and that their game
was discovered when they ATTEMPTED to
mulct the New York, New Haven d. Hart
ford Railway company by the singular
chance that DR.. Hubbard, the surgeon en-
ployed by the railway company. had pre-
viously been employed by the West End
Street Car company in the claim of the
same woman, Fannie Freeman, who had
assumed the name of Elsie Belden. The
New Y Jrk, New Haven d Hartford people
d II not prosecute, but the Freemans bur-
riedly left Boston.
