bryan a Mere windBae.
From the Chicago Tribune (Rep.


After Secretary Carlisle had finished his
speech to the bankers and business men
who met in convention at Memphis, the
advocates of a debased money unit and
silver monometallism imported Bryan of
Nebraska to make answer to him. 1t was
an ambitious undertaking FOR the young
man, but he went there asfast as the cars
could carry him and jumped into the
breach with a lot of superficial froth
which was no answer at all to the state
ments he was called on to refute If he
could. Bryan made no reply that any in
telligent man cared a snap TO near be-
cause Carlisle already had voluntarily
confessed all that Bryan essayed TO prove.
His harping upon that string, playing on
IL the monotone of Inconsistency" ac-
companied by a running fire of words,
showed Bryan 10 be utterly incapable of
comprehending the fact that wise man
can become wiser as he grows older. and
that il is to his credit to be willing to ac-
knowledTe that he understands a subject
better to-day than he did yesterday. Pos
sibly, If Bryan could be made to open his
eyes to these things he would be thor
oughly ashamed OF himself for having
raised the howl of Inconsistency with
the past of nearly twenty years ago,
while utterly unable to show that Mr..
Carlisle is wrong In his present position or
Incorrect in his statement of what the free
silver extremists are striving TO accom-
plsh. Probably he will keep his eyes
closed 10 the truth But all the same, the
intelligent people Will understand from, his
so-ealled reply that he Is incapable of dis
proving the mastery argument made by
the Secretary of the Treasury: that in his
speech he stood out in radical contrast
with Carlisle as a pettifogger to states
man, and weakly sought TO oppose the
bray Of an ass to the roar OF lion.

Fncts About the nIcmrhi

II ucts Adult the hempntS convention
We are glad to find that the impressions
of the Memphis sound money convention
published by the Atlanta Constitution are
not sustained by the Savannah delegates.
Col. Gordon and Mr. Ellis agree in the
statement that the convention was much
larger than they expected, that it repre-
scented the whole south and that it was
made up Of business men. professional men
and planters. 1t was not run by politicians
and the speeches that were heard and the
resolutions that were adopted were emil
nently satisfactory. 1t is doubtful If there
ever was another convention in the south
that more truly represented the business,
industrial, professional and planting in
terests of the southern states.
There were delegates present who would
have liked to have had an expression of
sentiment respecting the repeal of the 10
per cent. tax on state bank issues. but it
was deemed inadvisable to cumber the
question the convention was called to con-
slider with another issue. The state bank
question will receive attention when the
people have been shown the folly and dan
ger there is in free. unlimited and indie
pendent silver coinage. The Savannah
delegates are entirely satisfied with
the Memphis convention and we feel safe
in asserting that the other delegates are
also fully satisfied.

1t has been suggested that the govern
ments shortage of revenues, occasioned
by the upsetting of the income tax, should
be made up from the beer tax. Some idea
of how the proposition would probably be
received in congress may be had from
watching the fight for beer tax in the
Pennsylvania legislature. A bill to tax
beer "A cents barrel has been passed by
the House by one vote more than ma
jority in total of 2Oi members. What the
fate of the bill will be in the Senate is an
open question. There is a strong lobby
against it. which may defeat it, The op-
would have to pay it, and get a poorer
quality of beer.

Wall street and cooper Alley"
Mlledgeville (Ga) Union-R Recorder (Dem).

There should be no antaeonism between
poverty and wealth. We would all be rich
if we could The sooner a man, however
poor, stiles the very spark OF any rising
resentment against the rich, so called. the
better 1t will be for him. 1t is unnatural.
There must always be some richer than
that has been started in this country of
down with Wall street,, will sooner or
later have its natural result in revolution
it is not suppressed. In the settlement of
this great question now before the people
we have no hesitation in affirming that
what is good for Wall street is good for
Cooper alley! What is good for the city
is good for the country What is good for
the merchant is good for the farmer 1t
is true that the free coinage of silver at
the ratio of IS to / would make immensely
rich the mine owners OF. the west, but how
many southern farmers and day workers
would il help?

From Springfield (Mass) Republican Qnd

Congressman Livingston of Georgia
says that the people of his state do not
care very much for free silver if they
can have IAN increase in our per capita
circulation so that we will have primary
money Of an amount about equal TO
twice the quantity of gold now in circula-
ton" That is about the size of IL, the
Georgia free silVerites are not bimetal-
lists. but infia tionists, and their shout for
silver would be silenced by any sort of
increase in the currency in circulation.

In a recent letter on the situation in
South Carolina. ex-senator Wade Hamp-
ton said that the fear of negro domino
ton expressed by the Tillmanites was all
for political effect; that there was no rea-
son to fear black supremacy. and advising
that he black voter be treated as friend,
frankly, justly and kindly Some northern
republican newspapers. seizing upon that
expression, are endeavoring TO show by it
that the campaign against black domino
ton in the southern states in 1876 was bas-
ed upon race prejudice, and that the in
Weighing against the negroes ruling the
states then was as much a political trick
as 1t is now. Such papers forget that the
situation now is vastly different from what
It was nineteen years ago. Then the black

Whenever southern people protest
against the use of biased histories of the
late war in the schools. there are always
papers and persons at the north who say
that the hot-headed southerners are still
unreconstructed and desire history that
will justify secession. Now, some north
erners, in Indiana, are getting a dose OF
what they claim is biased history. and
they are kicking vigorously. The alleged
bias of which they complain. however, Is
merely complimentary passage upon the
character of Robert E. Lee. which cannot
be biased or false If it attributes to him
all Of the Christian graces and manly vir-
tues that &c to make up the soldier and the
gentleman. Nevertheless the Grand Army
of the Republic of Indiana wishes the Bos-
ton publishers of the offending history TO
eliminate the tribute to Lee or else they
will call upon the school authorities to
boycott the book.

Poem by the Marquis of Lorne.
HIGHLAND CotRTING."

Lorne. in Blackwood's Magazine.
When was our loving? Oh, ask when the
mountains
Keep but a lacing of cold winters snow
Grass-lands are greening, and lambs by
the fountains
Are bleating belowl
Have you not seen. on the loch's CLASSY
water,
Dolphins leap onward in sport by the
shore;
The hind stand and wonder the stag had
not sought her
With challenging roar?
Heard you the musical note of the black
game,
Flute-like. in tremulous laughter arise
From the pine and the brentwood while
from the rock came
The cave pigeons cries?
Were you then sleeping when moorland
and meadow
Woke to the call of the plover, and song
Rang in the woodlands that scarce knew
a shadow
For spring was yet young?
If you were wakeful then why ask the
season
The highlands arc loveliest-lovely al
stay: / VIII tell you-enough. in all reasons
Before-we were gray!

The rumor that the Count and Countess
Castellane have separated, almost before
the end of the honeymoon is hardly to be
depended upon. The statement that the
facts have been suppressed by the New
York papers owing to their respect for the
countess (who was Miss Anna Could and
her family, is altogether too thin. If the
New York papers were TO get hold of any
such item of news. they would print it, and
nothing short Of the destruction of all the
newspaper plants in Gotham would stop
the printing of it. The idea of the news
papers Of New York entertaining any such
high regard for the family of Jay Gould
is altogether novel There are newspapers
in New York that could be bribed to sup
press news items. but the number of them

The University of the City Of New York
has received a gift of 1000. 900, conditioned
upon the identity of the donor remaining
concealed. Such a condition, quite natur-
ally, spurred certain inquisitive persons
to great efforts to discover who had made
the gift, and it has been announced ION
very high authority" that Miss Helen
Gould is the person. If that is correct, Miss
Gould is rapidly becoming one Of the most
phifanthropic persons in this country, and
onesof the most intelligently philanthropic
persons at that. She has already given
large sums to worthy charities and
maintains one or more charitable
institutions in New York city. She
has done much already to re-
move the obloquy that some per-
sons invariably attach to the name of
Gould, and it is probable that before she
has finished her good work her name will
be always spoken with pride and gratitude
for her benefactions.

The advisability and utility Of intelli-
gent and vigorous Kicking is pretty well
Illustrated in case submitted to the
grand jury in the city of New York a
few days ago. There is a law recurring
that ali articles made of silver and stamp
ed coin" or sterling" shall be of sill
yer that comes up to the federal mint
standard of .O925, the CO.'S of copper al
lowed being necessary to give the requi-
site hardness. To offer for sale as "ster-
ling articles below this standard is
misdemeanor punishable by fine and i'm
prisonment. The existence of such law
is probably not very well known and it ap-
pears that certain manufacturers, taking
advantage of the ignorance of both mer-
chants and customers with regard to the
matter. have been manufacturing and
marking as STERLING" and ''coin" num-
Der of articles which really contained a
very low grade of silver, or no silver at
ALL
Mr.. Newton Dexter however, knew the
law and beingea kicker. determined to as
certain whether it was being violated. and
to what extent. To that end he purchased
a number of articles marked STERLING"
and sent them to the mint to be assayed
The result shows that only one article
out of thirty-two submitted and tested
came up to the standard; only five out Of
the whole number reached 90, and a ma
jority dropped to GOA, while several were
returned as pure brass" The articles
were principally in the shape of cheap
jewelry, such as usually sells for from 40
to 70 cents. and which, according to the
assay, is really worth no more than from
l TO cents, in the majority of instances.
Mr.. Dexter's complaint and the mvestiga-
ton to follow will probably have the
result of persuading the manufacturers
of such stuff that honesty is the best
policy, even when practiced merely for
policy's sake.

The Mobile Register makes neat point on the Daily State when it calls at tention 10 the conflict between the edi- torial department and business office of our contemporary. The editorials try to make the people believe that the coun- try is going to the dogs, that the people are in worse condition than ever be- fore, and that all business is prostrated; !; the business office declares that the cir culation of the State is daily increasing, and thanks the business men for their liberal patronage. It is very gratifying to know that there is one spot in the United States where the sun of prosper ity beams benignly and everything is prosperous The fact that this one spot is the business office of the Daily State does not lessen the pleasure.

PRACTICAL SENSE ovERRIDEs THEORY.

Several very pretty theories have been advocated during the history of this gov ernment. but have been set aside by the practical sense of the people American citizens are extremely practical, and much prefer common sense to theorizing.
 In the formation of the constitution the hard horse sense of Jefferson and his fol-i lowers oyerrode the theorists headed by Hamilton The latter desired a central ized government, and pointed to the mon- archies of Europe. Jefferson and his men trusted to the good sense of the peo- pie to govern themselves. and the just ness of their view has been borne out b.f subsequent history.
 Aaron Burr tried to establish an em- pire in the southwest, and was squelched by the common sense of the people.
 Some of the theorists said we never could incorporate the West, that it was too big, and protested against the Louisi- ana purchase. But the West is now a. part of the United States, and has been thoroughly assimlated
 The theory of secession is a beautiful theory. It was early held by States north and south. There is something in the theory that causes the heart to swell with pride-it is a grand thing to be citizen of a sovereign State that can HitiAlidW liOll lllC 1iilpli "i0iACNSA she sees fit and set up an independent government of her own. The theory of secession was very popular in the colleges and universities and learned professors and sophomoric students proved conclu- siVely that a State had the right to Se- cede. But when the theory was put to the supreme test the common sense of the people rejected it. Secession is a dead issue. This is a union of States indivisa- ble, indestructible. now and forever. Amenl
 The theory of protection for protec- tion's sake is a most fascinating theory. Its advocates paint in glowing colors the prosperity that would come to this coun- try if Chinese wall was built around iG and our home markets were kept for home manufactures. But the common sense of the people told them this was fallacy. that the home markets would soon be glutted, that few manufacturers would become millionaires at the expense of the people, and they overthrow the fallaey of protection. and-have forever adopted the practical policy of free trade.
 The free and unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to by this government independent of other governments, is a beautiful theory. It would make man feel proud to be citizen of country so great and powerful as to be able to con- trol the finances of the world. But the free silver fallacy is a mere theory. It never has been tried by this government where there was such difference in the value of the two metals as now exists. And the practical common sense of the people will never permit this theory to be attempted. It would bring greater dis tress in its train than a monarchical form of government, the predominance of protection or the success of secession.
