From Louisville Courier-Journal DEM

Twelve hours before the delivery of Sec
rotary Carlisles CoVington speech Senator
Blackburn broke out in a cold sweat and
a hot interview proclaiming that he pro-
posed answering it and holding Carlisle
TO the record. Senator Blackburn will not
answer that speech. If he ever attempts
10 do so it will be the most amusing per
Torrance yet of the free coinage cam
paign. What Senator Blackburn VIII prob
ably do will be to make a great deal of
noise in insisting that Mr. Carlisle has not
always known quite as much about silver
as he knows now. and will call that an
answer"

a candidate for any office within the gift
Of the people or their representatives. -
said Secretary Carlisle in his speech at
Covington the other day. Nevertheless.
there will probably arise a good deal Of
talk about the secretary as a good south
ern man to be nominated next year.

CURRENT COMMENT.
Leaves Nothing TO BE Guessed.
From the New York Post Qnd).

The speech of Secretary Carlisle at Gov
ington was an exceedingly lucid and i'm
portant deliverance on the silver question.
Indeed, we doubt If it has ever been sur
passed by anybody. Mr.. Carlisle has, in
an eminent degree the faculty of max
ing hard things easy to the common un-
derstanding This is the first and highest
requlsite Of public speaking.

There is no public question before the
people of Chatham county of such impor-
lance as the mo fence" question. Any
voter understands it. or ought to. since
it has been discussed periodically for
years. 1t is simply whether farmer
shall be required to fence his crops or not.
Upon this question depends largely the
future of the city of Savannah, and the
county OF Chatham. NO fence" means the
rapid development of the agricultural re-
sources of the county and a steady i'm
provement in the health conditions of the
city ana county. If those who are inter
ested in the welfare Of the city ana county
viii do their duty by registering. and vot-
ing at the election on the fence question.
the issue VIII be decided in favor of mo
fence" by an overwhelming majority.
There can be no excuse for not register
ing. because the registration books are
at the sherif's office. and are open every
day. except Sunday. from a. m. until 4
p. m. To register at once and vote on
the day of election will take very little
time, and is an easy way of doing an i'm
mense amount Of good to this city ana
county.
The registration viii close June 70, and
there is, therefore. no time to be lost by
those who are willing to lend helping
hand in bringing tens of thousands of
acres in this county under cultivation and
protecting the drainage system. which is
so necessary TO the health of the city and
county

The president of the Bank of Commerce,
of ST. Louis, has issued peremptory orders
forbidding any and every em6loye of his
penalty of dismissal. The president wishes
to keep his cashiers, bookkeepers and
clerks out Of the way of temptation. He
has noticed that men who go to races some
times put their fingers into the tills of their
employers, after they have lost their own
money, in the hope of being able to win
and make good their losses. Gambling in
one form or another-at cards, horse races
or speculation in cotton or stocks-has
probably lead to more defalcations than
any other cause.

sUNkEN TREASURE.
Another Effort TO Find the De Frank and

Another Effort to Find the De Frank and
Her spunI.h Gold Cargo.
Fifteen eupaltaiists. forming a syndi-
cate. left Sunday on the steam tug John
L. Mehrer for the Delaware Breakwater,
where they will make an effort to locate
and raise the BrItleh sloop OF War De
Braak.
The Do Braak was sunk by sudden
sQuall off the Breakwater over century
ago and had on board large cargo OF
Spanish gold.
1t is by no means the first attempt
made to locate this vast treasure, chat ac
cording to tradition Is oertainly there.
DIR. Seth Pancoast, OF Philadelphia, with
others, conducted a similar expedition q
few years ago, and In 1880 the InterEation.
al submarine Company, OF Hartford Oh.
tained contract with the Treasury De-
search for aud recover :he treasure. Since
then all attenpt5 to raise II have been
tributary TO that company.
The De Braak was captured from the
Dutch. She was built of oak and teak,
as nearly all vessels OF that time were.
The English Government came in pos.
SESSION of her in 1857 and Captain James
Drew was made commander. short
time before her foundering she CAPTURED
a Spanish ship from La Plata, bound to
Spain with cargo OF gold from the
minea.
Soon afterward, according to the reports
OF tnnt time. enc OVefnAuled the ST.
Francis Xavier and transferred mucn
precious metal to her own hold from the
latter.
The DeBraak made for Cape Henlope n
for water, and went down In a squall.
Some OF her crew escaped but the major
ity perlshed.
Reports then became frequent of the
existence Of the treasure and ever since
they have been current.
Some years ago several Spanish doub.
looms, presumably from the wreck, were
washad mp along tho shore at Lewes. and
these have been looked on as evidence Of
the existence of more.
The Mehr-r Company In 1890. brought
to light more evidence of the exlste nee OF
O ship.
Pieces or teak wood. old.fashion ed
handiforged bolts and similar indications
of an old time vessel.
The John L. Mehrer reached the Break.
water Sunday night. and Monday morning
they began a survoy of the locality where
the sunken treasure Is thought TO DO.
Old pilots acquainted about the Break
water have little faith In the success of the
undertaking. claiming that there Is no
living person who knows Just the position
OF location where the DE Braak lies.
The last pilot that had any kEowledg Q
of the location of the DO Braak was Cap
tain III. Conwoll. who died about two years
ago. and he carried the secret to his grave.
Much interest is conferred In the outcome
OF the undertaking.

Senator Ransom's appointment as min
lister to Mexico Is unconstitutional, be-
cause he was serving as senator in the
congress which raised the salary of the
Mexican minister, has started reports that
various other officials are illegally hold
ing office for the same reason. Among
the cases mentioned is that Of Judge Nc
Eenna, who while serving as a member
ofthe Fifty second congress was appointed
circuit judge of northern California. But
as the nine additional circuit judges were
created by the preceding congress (al-
though Mr.. MoKenna was a member of

BILE until tomorrow. The fight between
the free silver and the Brice mon will 90
cur this evening, when the members of
the committee on resolutions and other
committees in the organization are So
tected. There are S0S delegates. The sill
yer men classify them as 343 for silver,
B2e for gold and 1877 doubtful. The Brice
men claim there are 463 for honest
money" and OF the 348 claimed by the
Thurman mon for silver some are doubt
full.
1t Is generally believed, since the laos
counties selected delegates yesterday, that
the Brioe men will control all the organi-
cation. and have fourteen out Of twenty
enc members of the COMMITTEES on resolu-
tions. Senator Brice Ex-Governor Camp
bell and other leaders arrived this morn
ing and are to dine with John H. Thomas,
the free silver leader. This fact Is recog-
nized as assuring compromise before the
district meetings are held Mt 5 p. IN. 1t is
believed there will be some agreement at
the Thomas dinner rs to who will be
nominated for governor. II Ex-Governor
Campbell will not run, then John H.
Thomas or James Kilbourne may be
nominated. Both are free silver men.
The real issue pending is as to what con.
cessions will be made to the free silver
mon and yet make the financial record
for the party that is desired by Senator
Brice. One may get the platform and the
other the nominee. There are some bitter
contests to be settled while Senator Brice
is presiding as temporary chairman, and
there may be trouble at the opening of
the convention IL all the silver contestants
are unseated. .

The principal event was between George
Dixon, of Boston, the champion feather

was found to be almost an impossibility.
