Why They are Against Silver.

AT a recent foreign Monetary
Conference delegate said:
"Gentlemen, we must demOnetize
silver, for in no other possible way
can we keep down the price of land
and labor and farm products. 1t is
of the highest importance that we
should Gemonetize it. We want low
prices. There is nothing in the
world so hurtful to the banker as a
rising scale of prices. When this
is the case trade expands; every
thing doubles in value, and it takes
tremendous amount of capital to
corner market and make living
profit. By demonetizing silver we
at one blow can cut down one half
of the world; this renders our work
as bankers comparatively easy. We
will have in our crusade against
silver all of the college professors,
and all government officers, for the
purchasing power of their salaries
will be greatly increased-in fact,
this purchasing power will be
doubled by the demonstration of
silver. If we will only unite we
can accomplish it, and once done it
will never be undone. We can buy
the public press and teach the
common people, that it is for
their good and they will get so poor
that they will never find out any
better-in fact, we will give them
such a hard time to make a living
that they will have no time for
socialism and political compiled
tions. A4he very fact that gold
from its nature can never circulate
as the money of the common peo-
ple' is greatly in our favor. The
use of notes will be compulsory,
and every banker knows the profit
of issuing notes.
"IeN usestand together, gentle
men; all of the Semetic race [Jews]
of the.wofld are a unit in favor of
gold monometalism This is a great
consideration. i cannot take my
seat, gentlemen, without pointing
out to you one alarming considera-
ton. If we do not demonetize our
dignity as public functionaries will
be greatly decreased and lessened
because the purchasing power of
our salaries will be diminished.
Gentlemen, I beg that you will rise
equal to the OCCASION"

POsTOFFICE FACTS.

Establishment of New Offices Dis
cournged for EcOnOmy's sake.
Washington, July s.-when Postmaster
General Wilson draws his annual report
Tor the fiscal year just closed, he will
ma there has been a remarkable falling
on in the number Of postofices established
as compared with former years. The post
Office officials can only figure out about
'v,VO OF all classes fully established now.
dltnough there were over 60 ZOO a wear ago
The usual number of Offices established
each Year is from three to five thousand.
Dut during the past year, there has been
disposition on the part of the postofFice
authorltles to discourage the establish
ment of new offices. Whether it is due to
economy on the part of the administration
or lack Of interest on the part of the
people IN the various states is a question
postmaster General Wilson may be able
10 answer. 1t is generally the pride of the
department to show a large increase In
the number OF new offices established each
year The postoffice officials claim that
"hlle there has been a considerable in
crease in the postal service all over the
country from a business standpoint. the
raining on in the number of new Offices
established is due probably, TO the exer>
else OF finer discretion and more rigid
economy than has been displayed hereto
fore in connection with that branch of the
service.
1t is probable that Postmaster General
Wilson may recommend that all grades of
postmasters be placed under the civil ser
vice, and the tenure of office of a post
master continue during good behavior.
The struggle for appointment TO the 20 900
postmasterships would thus be avoided.
and 1t would relieve the succeeding ad-
ministrations from embarrassment I'm

tlce OF holding caucuses to recommend the
appointment of a postmaster has fire.
quently been resorted in all parts of the
country, especially in New England and
the southern states. The records of the
postothce department win show that in
nine cases of ten where the recommended
lions of these caucuses have been made
the Postmaster General has acted favor
ably upon the suggestion of the caucus.
Postmaster General Bissell was not so
slow and deliberate in his official actions
as the present Postmaster General Mr.
Wilson is naturally a very conservative
man, and he does not proceed with the
same vigor and expedition that character
lied the administration of his predecessor.

GARLAND HEARD FROM.
He Predicts There VIII he Seven
Presidential Tickets.

EFesAuenlul I1c&ets.
Washington, July 9.-"There are 60
ing to be seven presidential tickets in
the field next year." said Attorney Cen
eral Garland to-day, while discussing the
political situation. While admitting that
he is out of active politics, the ex-sena-
tor from Arkansas, feels that he still has
some influence with the democrats of
the south, who believe in the free and I'M
limited coinage Of silver. So confident is
he of that fact that he was induced to
write a letter advocating free silver,
which he sent to the recent silver con-
vention at Memphis, Tenn. He is a lit
tie disappointed because 1t did not at
tract sufficient attention to be quoted.
YES said he, there will be seven
presidential tickets in the field. There
will be a nominal democrat and repub-
lican ticket, there will be a bi-metallic
and single gold standard ticket a popu-
list ticket a prohibition ticket and a
woman,s rights ticket.
1t is said that the ex-Attorney General
is receiving a large salary as the attor-
ney of the Pacific Railroad Company.
While he was member of Mr.. Cleveland's
first cabinet several cases in which this
railroad was interested came before the
department of justice for adjudication and
he rendered opinions favorable to the rail e
overruled by an order of the President,
and when he retired from the cabinet
he was engaged by the railroad company
to prosecute the case before the supreme
court He obtained7a decision in his favor
and was thereupon regularly employed to
represent that company at Washington.
1t will be remembered that while At
torney, General and also member of the
Senate Mr.. Garland would never attend
a social party or dinner where he was
expected to appear in evening dress. 1t
was said that he was too democratic to
put on swallow tailed coat. 1t
now appears that he subjected himself to
all the -facetious comment in that con-
nection, in the interest of liquidating an
! indebtedness which he had assumed for
another person. When he came to Wash
ington it is said that he was under obliga-
ton to pay large sum Of money! debt
he had assumed by going on the note of
a personal friend. He Determined that
he could not plunge in society and pay the
note, so he refrained from participating
in all social festivities during his public
life in Washington. This is the explanation
Of his repugnance to a dress coat.

UNDER TERRIBLE PRESSURE.
Grave Consequences of Diving One

Grave Consequences of Diving One
Hundred and sixty Feet.
From the New York Mail and Express
The steamer Alphonso XII, having on
board ten boxes of gold coin. each box
worth $4,000. struck on a rock and sank at
Grand Canary, while on a voyage from
Cadiz to Havana in 1856
1t was ascertained that the specie was
at a depth of % 2-3 fathoms-16O feet-and
grave doubts were entertained of the pos
sibility of any diver being able to with
stand the tremendous pressure incidental
to such depth, Wis siXty-seven pounds
to every superficial square inch of his
body.
Experiments at this depth were made
off Dartmouth, and two men, Lambert
and Tessier, were found equal to the per-
ilous task, dresses having been prepared
which would remain water tight at this
great depth.
An expedition was sent out by the Ma
rine Insurance Company, the divers to
receive a reward of per cent. or $500
on each box recovered. Lambert got up
sexen boxes and Tessier two. SO terrible
was the pressure that neither man could
stay below for more than a few minutes,
and Lambert, for some time after his
return. suffered from chronic paralysis
of the bowels, by which he was in many
respects reduced to the hopeless condi-
ton of a babe in the cradle. Probably
a tightly sealed kettle, sent down empty
to the same depth, would have been
crushed fiat.
AS it was, the divers only succeeded in
finding nine boxes out of the ten, S5O,000
thus remaining below.
A subsequent expedition went in search
of this box, and the diver, after being
down for twenty minutes was hauled up
only to die. Not a whit discouraged, an
other expedition went out with two div
ers from Germany.
The first of these was promptly hauled
up half dead, only to be sent ashore to
the hospital raving mad; the other went
down, but returned, declaring that no
box was there. Whether he really got so
far as the lazarette from which the nine
boxes were taken is open to doubt. The
pressure at such depths must be positively
crushing.
In the accounts of one of the deep-sea
dredging expeditions it is mentioned that
when the trawl was raised from great
depth the pressure proved to have been
such as to crush together the wood Of
the trawl beam, so that the knots started
out of il.

Douglas, Ca, July 9.-On Saturday last
at 10 o'clock a. M, our usually quiet vii
lage was thrown in a high state of excite
ment by the arrival of messenger on a
foam-hecked steed from Shepherd, six
miles distant, for armed reinforcenents
to 20 to the aid of the few whites there,
who were being Unfortunately shot down
by the negroes. Our people, knowing that
Pace & Gaskin employ a large negro force
there in addition to the local negroes,
would make a formidable armed array
quickly armed themselves and fastened to
the scene of action, being prudent enough
to leave a sufficiency here to protect the
village. in case the riot became general.
ITpon, their arrival there they found all
the shooting done by one negro, known
as a Scuffietonian. The Shufhetonians are
a mixed race of negroes and Indians, from
North Carolina, descendants Of the once
famous outlaw. Henry Berry Lowry, and
his gang, and are generally considered dan
gerous From the best information obtain
able, this negro disputed his account, as
given at the Office by Mr.. Hammond,
woodsrider for Pace & Gaskins. In the
quarrel the negro pulled his gun and COM
menced firing at Mr.. Hammond and Mr.
Gaskins, as well as all whites in sight.
Mrs Hammond got a gun. either to shoot
the negro or carry to her husband The
negro ran over to her, taking the gun and
firing on her and her childen as he left.
A posse is now in pursuit.
The citizens have made up purse Of
$500 for his capture. This negro had only
been at work two weeks. 1t is said TO the
credit of the regular employees that they
had no sympathy with him and disapprov-
ed Of his action. -

How These Disturbances May BE

ForetoId by Scientific Research.
From Democrats Magazine.
It is stated that for some days prior to
the terrific earthquakes in Asia, which re-
Gently swallowed up a town with 1900 in
habitants, besides destroying many lives
and much property throughout the whole
region the seismographic instruments Of
Paris and Berlin displayed great agitation.
This, of course, could properly be called
prediction of the earth tempest, as the
barometer furnishes predictions of atmos-
pheric tempests But at the present, at all
events, the predictions are by no means
of equal value practically. The barometer
has done good service to humanity. When
a sea captain observes that his glass Is
falling he knows he is entering a storm
circle and makes all snug for bad weather.
Unduestionably an incalcuable number OF
lives and a vast amount of property have
been saved by means of barometrical fore
warnings. But as yet we know so little
Of the cause, character of directions of ter
restrial disturbances that we cannt de-
pend upon the seismograph to guard us
against the fearful dangers of the earth
quake. Those living near or within sight
of a volcano find suggestions in its varying
moods, but no more than suggestions, for
sometimes the sudden cessation of the
smoke or a vast outrush Of vapor is follow
ed by no observable tremor of the sur
roundin country, while at other times eth
er phenomenon may foretell a CONFUSION.
The agitation of the Partisan seismo-
graph may have predicted an earthquake
in Paris itself, or some other portion of
France. or in Spain. or Italy, or, indeed,
as is amply proved, in any part of the
globe; but who is to translate its unknown
language and learn from it where or when
the peril is to eliminate? The fact that
the observer on duty at the time saw and
recorded from his instrument that a seis-
mic disturbance was occurring or about
to occur in some quarter of the sphere Is
without doubt scientifically interesting.
But we shall await with the utmost inter-
est the development of what is so far no
more than newspaper hint that one of
our American students has, or at least
believes he has, discovered the means Of
locating the center of the coming disturb
anee. It's direction Of movement and ap-
proximate force.
