 The argument that all the silver money in the world, if turned loose into the United States. would make only s55 per capita, is no argument in favor of free coinage. 1t is the uncoined silver that is to be feared-the bullion, the plate. and all that has been used in the arts. The great amount of silver bullion now stacked up in the United States treasury gives an idea of the amount of uneoined silver in the world. Just as soon as the United States declared ifs purpose to coin silver and stamp it at4doube it's value the silver bullion from all parts of the world would flow into the United States treasury, and all the silver plate and all the silver now used in the arts would be melted up and sent over here for coinage. To deny that this will be done is to assert that people are fools
 In his speech in Mobile MT. Bryan ar- gued that if the United States would pay $1 .29 per ounce for silver it would advance ito that price and he illustrated his point by saying that if a man should give it out that he would pay % cents per dozen for eggs which were worth only 1215 cents that all the eggs in town would advance to 25 cents. Hon. Richard H. Clarke an swered this argument by saying that the man who made such an offer would soon find that his money would give out. This waa a good answer. and it can be added that if the man found that half the eggs he was buying were bad eggs he wonld soon sicl1en of his bargain.

Plenty and to Spare.-Referring to incessant rains the Abbevile Times says: During the past ten days enough rain has fallen to make three or four good crops had it been prorated out and come at the right time, and some of the hardest rains we ever saw. It is the very life of the corn crop, but too much rain does the cotton damage. The Old Master knows best and we will take it when it comes and as much as he sees fit to let fall"

District Conventions.

The Luzerne Republican district con
yentons were held on Monday, and
eight delegates were elected to the state
convention who favor Governor Hast
ings, while one delegate favorable to
Senator Quay was successful. The fea-
ture of the day was the election of a
Quay delegate in the fifth district, where
the friends of the governor thought they
were sure to win, while in this district
Il Hastings man was successful by IL ma
jority of one in the convention.
The contest in this district could not
be more exciting. The Hastings dele
gates were taken by Daniel Coke in
special ID. S. Il S. train to Hazleton,
whore headquarters were opened in
coal and iron police rooms until the con-
vention was held.
The first test of strength was between
j. b. Laubach, of Freeland, and William
f. Adams, of Beaver Brook, for chair
man. Adams won by a vote of 22 to 10.
This gave the 'Quaytes control of the
convention. III. p. Kuntz, of IIazleton,
and j. c. Stroh, of Drifton, were chosen
as secretaries. A secret ballot was de-
cded upon in voting for state delegate.
The first vote resulted: Powell, 20;
Lloyd, 20; Chairman Adams, /. The
second gave Lloyd 2l and Powell 20.
The disorder at times was so great that
the police had to be called upon to quell
the noise, and as soon as the vote was
announced the convention broke up in
confusion.
Charges and counter-eharges of Doodle
were made by the interested parties,
and there seems to be no question but
that money was lavished freely.
The first district convention was held
at Wilkesbarre. The delegates are w.
NJ. Weaver and A. l.. Williams. They
are for Hastings.
The second district elected its dele
gates at West Pittston, Alexander Nc
Dougall and John d. Woodworth, the
Hastings men, defeating the Quay men,
DR.. NJ b. Hughes and Lewis Jones, by
one vote out of u total of 80.
The third district convention met at
Kingston. Chris. Wren and Jones Ed
wards were Hastings delegates, and How
ard Armstrong and William Oldlield
stood for Quay. After considerable
wrangling vote was called for, and it
resulted as follows: Wren, 2313; Ed
wards, 24L; Armstrong, %; Oldfeld, 10.
The fifth district convention was held
at East Pittston. The Hastings men
made poor showing Their candidate,
Charles b. Smith, received only 1213
votes. John NJ. Jones, the Quay candi-
date, received 2015.
The sixth district delegates met at
Ashley and elected Arthur e. Detro,
the Hastings candidate, over John b.
Graham, by a vote of 80 to "a.

Notice was posted at Beaver Meadow
colliereS of the Evans Mining Company

operations for an indefinite period. The
announcement created a great deal of
surprise because the colliery was re-
garsed as one of the best in the region
as far as the workmen were concerned.
Another announcement was made short
ly after to the effect that receiver
had been appinted to take charge of the
plant. The receiver is Frederick S.
Duncan, of New York. Arrangements
are now being made for II siege of idle
less. The workmen were notified that
there would be no work there for them
there for some time. But three men
we're retained to look after the plant.
An official of the company explained
that the action taken was due to the un-
settled condition of the coal market and
the low price now paid to individual
operators. The men are assured OF
their pay. The day set for paying off
the men is August II, the regular pay
day.

1T WAS THE WRONG ACTION.
The Stock Excha nge and the Police
Commissioners.

Judge Wallace yesterday took up the case OF
the San Francisco Public Stock Exchange
against the Board of Police Commissioners.
After brief argument the case was ordered dis
missed.
The suit was brought by the Stock Exchange
for an order of injunction restraining the Police
Commissioners from interfering with the BUSH
ness of the exchange. There has been a con-
siderable amount of talk of late about the ae-
tion taken by the police in regard to the Stock
Exchange, and this suit was the result. The
Stock Exchange was represented by Attorneys
NoWIan and Fassett, While the Police Commits
siOners were represented by Assistant District
Attorney A. p. Black in the absence OF District
Attorney Barnes.
When each side had presented Its case Judge
Wallace inierfered by saying that III bis opinion
an action for an injunction would not lie In such
a case
''If the business of the Stock Exchange is
perfectly lawful business" said his Honor.
'then the Police Commissioners had no right
to interfere. In such case your remedy is by an
action for damages. But If, on The other hand,
the business Of the Stock Exchange Is an I'M
lawful business, then the Police Commission
ers had right TO interfere, and you have no
remedy"
On this Judge Wallace ordered the action TO
be dismissed.
