rhe vernon shem Rond.

The proposition to sell the Vernon she'll
road to the city should receive the very
careful attention of the county commits
less the commissioners purpose being in
huenced to some extent in the matter by
public sentiment.
The price for which the road can be OBJ
tanned is not yet known. The principal
owner of it talks about $685. 900 or $4,000
It has been given out that perhaps $1,000
would buy it. Would it be advisable for
the commissioners to purchase it at that
price?
The commissioners must do the best they
can for the county. Would it be best for
the county to buy the road at this time?
The property has considerable value now.
but what would be its value if the Meri-
dian road were constructed and shelled?
What would it cost to open the Meridian
road and shell it? Could not the work be
done for about what would have to be
paid for the Vernon shell road? If so,
would it not be advisable to construct the
Meridian road rather than purchase the
Vernon shell road?
The reasons for constructing the Meri-
dian road are these: 1t would open an
entirely new section of the county. 1t
would pass through the county lands and
Increase their value. 1t would make the
new park accessible. 1t would make a
splendid free driveway, which is something
the people want.
The Vernon shell road is good prop
erty now, because it is a pleasure drive.
Would it continue TO be popular pleas
ure drive if the Meridian road were made
shell road? If not, then the Vernon
shell road would lose much of its value
J and the county could purchase it probably
for a great deal less than $4,000. The
county would then have two shell roads
for very little more than it would have
to pay now for the Vernon shell road.
These suggestions are from the stand
point of what would be best for the county,
and for the consideration of the county
commissioners. Estimates of the cost of
the Meridian road might lessen their value
| somewhat.

Free silver and Wages.
From Springfield CAIass) Republican Qnd.).

The Louisville Courier-Journal wants to
know IL those newspapers that are shout
ing loudest for free silver coinage are pre-
pared to increase the salaries of their en-
ployes enough to Offset the rise in the
prices of products which these newspapers
predict Will follow free coinage. 1t is a
fair question, and one that it will bother
free silver shouters to answer. Here stands
the hard fact that any such depreciation
of currency as the free coinage of silver
would entail viii at once reduce the pur-
chasing price of the dollar. Prices of all
commodities would rise, and every man in
the land who has a fixed income, whether
from wages, salary or investments, would
find that that income would not so so far
by a long ways Is Ii does now, in buying
necessities and comforts. 1t is not at all
probable that such incomes would rise as
high in proportion as prices. Inferior cur
rency caused a great rise in prices. rise
of ll6 per cent? from 1860 to 1855, but dur
ing that time wages only rose 43 per cent,
according to the report of the Senate COM
mittee on prices and wages, as quoted by
the Courier-Journal. These are familiar
facts, but well worth while to keep in
mind with this other fact-that there has
been no time fer generation when dol
lar would buy as much as to-day. Men
ana women on salaries, therefore, and
men and women who are at work steadily
or reasonably SO for fair wages, as mil
lions are in the land. in spite of the hard
times. have nothing TO gain from the free
coinage of silver.

The Fight for Honest Money.
From the New York Herald lndl.

That the pending bond issue, like its
two predecessors. viii prove but a temper
airy makeshift, is conceded. 1t is not ex-
pected TO stay for any length of time the
merely tides over the crisis. The battle for
sound money, for the national credit, for
the peoples interest, in short, for popu-
lar loan, is yet to be fought out, and we
have no doubt as to the final result For
three months similar conflict was waged
in the Senate over the repeal of the ruin
GUS silver purchase law, but the silver
maniacs and the foes of sound money were
al last forced to succumb to the popular
sentiment they had defied and to consider
the public interests they had disregarded.
As the will OF the people and the credit of
the nation then prevailed. so they event
ually must in this struggle

Marriage.

In Germany, says It'd Bits. it is Gus
tomary for young couples. when they
become engaged, to announce the momen-
tous event to the world by a simple adver-
tisement in the newspapers. Hans Meyer
and Crete Schmidt are ''verlobt," and
that is usually the whole story. A popular
Viennese arctress, however, has been
moved to infuse not a little originality
into her public announcement of her mat
rimonial projects. The notice. runs thus:
''I hereby desire to inform all my friends
and acduaintances that am on the eve of
appearing in a new role, which / have
never hitherto ventured to assume. The
NAV is entitled Marriage The part of
first gentleman has been intrusted TO Mr..

the facts of the piece will depend Accord
ing as he may wish, it will be either a
comedy or a tragedy. In any case, how
ever it will not degenrate into farce, for
we are both of us sincere and serious.

that there is really nothing in Marriage

The advocates OF the free and unlimited
coinage Of silver are quick TO use any
argument that seems to support their
views. There are so few sound arguments
on their side Of the silver question that
they sometimes make the mistake OF
quoting arguments which are not sound.
For instance. one of our contemporaries
a few days ago quoted from the statist.
a London publication. TO show that the
south and west would be benefited by
d deprecated currency. One OF the quo
tations from the Statist was the follow
ing.
ITO sum up. then. the representatives
of the west and south. who are advo-
Gates of silver. are perfectly right in
their view that change in the present
system would be beneficial to the west
and south. These sections Of the union
are the borrowing sections. They are
heavily Indebted. and the depreciation of
the currency by reducing debts would. of
course, benefit the borrowing community.
1t may be replied that as the effect Of the
change advocated by the west and south
would be to transfer property wholesale
from the east and from Europe to the
west and south, it would, in fact, there
fore, lower the credit Of the United
States. and prevent the. free influx of
European capital No doubt that would
be the tendency"
Where did the Statist get its informa-
ton that the south is heavily indebted
To whom is she indebted? From its
percn in far-oh London the Statist dis
.cusses matters pertaining to this coun-
try as glibly as If it knew all about
them.
As a matter of fact we don't believe the
south is indebted to the east to any
great extent, and therefore II the coun-
try should be forced to a silver basis
by the silver cranks the south would
not get satisfaction out of paying her
debts to capitalists and alleged Wall
street sharks" in deprecated currency.
because she doesn't owe them much OF
anything.
We published day or two ago, from
advanced sheets of the census reports
relative to farm mortgages, the fact that
the farmers of the south are almost free
from debt. Only a little more than per
cent. of southern farms are mortgaged,
and it is pretty safe to say the mortgages
are held in the south. If the farms are
not mertgaged what class of southern
property is mortgaged? Does the Statist
know? If it doesn't perhaps some of those
silver editors that quote from it ap-
provingly do.
1t is true there is a good deal of north
ern capital invested in the south, but
it is not borrowed by southerners. 1t is
owned by northerners. They have it
invested in railroads. mills and mines
In the event of the silver and paper
currency becoming deprecated therefore
we do not see that the southern people
would be benefited. We venture to say
that the people of the north, the owners
of farms. factories and city and subur-
ban property owe the alleged money
sharks of that section far more than the
southern people do, and, hence, they are
much more interested in having a de-
preciated currency with which TO pay
their debts easily. Still the Statist
seems to be an authority for the silverltes.
The reason doubtless is that there is a
dearth of good authorities to sustain
their position.

In speaking on the resolution to allow
the Secretary of the Treasury to issue 3
per cent. gold bonds, Representative Tur-
ner said: IF we borrow gold why should
we hesitate to promise to pay the same?
If we are honest in this transaction. wen
adopt the joint resolution and thereby
save the people of the country $16,OOO, 900
interest money" The foregoing contains
a reason why the people respect and honor
MIR. Turner. They cannot help respecting
an honest man. And Representative Coop
er of Florida is another man whom the
people honor, and for the same reason.

Congregational Elections.
From the Chicago Record Qnd1.

In America there are constitutional OBJ

lutely to the judiciary. Consequently, the
elections committee merely gives Judges
jurisdiction to determine the prima -facie
right of member-elect to a seat. This
would be an Improvement, however, for
the House would not be likely TO be

an extent as to reverse the impartial find

revised it would be well if this historic

The New Administrntion,

The conviction is beginning to force it.
self upon the public mind that the recent
heated municipal contest was after all q
tempest in a teapot. The city has survived
it, and her affairs are being administered
with the usual good judgment and ability.
Mayor Myers is showing that he appre-
ciates the dignity and Importance of the
high position which he holds and is Civ
ing to his office close and careful atten-
ton. Those who have come into contact
with him in his official capacity are graft
fed to find that he is not only thor
oughly acquainted with the duties which
devolve upon him, but, also, that he dis
charges them promptly and with excellent
Judgment. He not only keeps steadily in
view what is due to individual citizens,
but has keen appreciation of the public
welfare. His management of the city
affairs thus far justifes the belief that
his administration will be of a charac-
ter to greatly advance the best interests
of the city.
He cannot, of course, do everything he
is asked to do. nor can he please every
body. There are many things. however,
that liberal and progressive mayor can
do to advance Savannah's prosperity and
make her people reasonably contented, and
these are among the things that Mayor
Myers is trying to do. No other people are
more appreciative of their public servants
than those of Savannah, and it is a
pleasure to know that Mayor Myers,
during his first month in office has won
the approval of his fellow citizens. If any
considerable number of people have any
fault to find with him the fact has not
yet cropped out.

The city of Tacoma in the state of
Washington is passing a miserable win
ter. Not so much because of the cold
weather, however as because of the ter
rible things five prophets, who have APP
peared in that city, are predicting to oc-
cur in the very near future. They de-
clare that during the next three years
nine-tenths of the human family will
perish miserably by war, plague, famine,
pestilence, earthquakes and hailstorms.
In the midst of these Affections they say
a false Christ will arrive and lure mill
ions of the dying into perdition. In the
year 1897 the false Christ will be over
thrown and the true Christ will come
with his bride, and Satan will be sealed
up in a big bottle for 1000 years. Dur
ing this bottling-up of the evil one,
heaven will hang suspended in midair
all the time. The prophets declare they
have seen hell. They say it is very terri
bles that it. is 5000 miles across and long
enough to hold all the sinners. In the
midst of these sensational prophecies,
however, Tacoma continues to feel an
interest in the future wheat market.
