BURGER WILL GO FREE.
No Evidence TO Him With
the Murder.

Counsellor James Furey applied to
Judge aHudspeth today for the release
from the County Jail of Francs Burger,
detained there under suspicion of being
implicated in the murder of Caspar
~Eng1ebrecht of Secaucus. Mr.. Furey in
sisted that the State had no evidence
against Burger which justified his being
held in jail.
Prosecutor Winfield admitted this to be
practically true. He said he did not
believe the crime could be fastened upon
Burger and that the man should not be
imprisoned longer. He suggested that
Burger be released upon $1,000 bail. The
Court was not prepared to accept such
a small bail and thought the amount
should be $500. The Court will decide
later.

of the Mississippi, with headquarters
In Vicksburg. Capt. Hays will hold
an important position In the line
which has as yet not been made pub

efficient secretary Of the line, will no
doubt continue 10 fill that office for
the present at least The election was

AN INTERESTING BOOK.

The TIMES Is in receipt of book
by Gen. IL. V. Boynton-descriptive
and Illustrative Of the battles of Chic
amaugua, Missionary Ridge and Look
out Mountain. And Of the park
which the Government Is now making
out of these historic and heroic
grounds. The author served In a
most conspicuous station on the Fed
eral side In those battles and is o
member Of the Park Commission.
General Boypton is an accomplished
and genial gentleman, aud newspaper
writer of national reputation. His
book is prepared with scrupulous
fidelity to the TRUTHS an accurate
account of all of tho details Of series
of mighty struggles. We find in 1t
truth of narrative Joined with both
grace and force of expression. His
generous tribute TO Confederate valor
will evoke glow of pride In all OF
the veterans who read bis book
which the editor of the TIMES heartily
commends to all who shared in the
perils aud privstous Of the 1868 cain
paign around Chattanooga.

which will be an improvement OH those

ceeded by hopeiulness and the antlci-
patton of a brighter future. Many
signs may be observed which should
silence the croakers as to Greeuville's
future. The rebuilding ofthese stores
aud of the Planters Oil Mill, the
ready sale of several residences, the
building Of third oil mill, to
say nothing of the general air Of
activity that pervades business circles
all these are signs that speak Of the
near approach Of better days and pros.

Taking 1873 as the starting point
Il will be seen that in 1879 cotton had
declined AZ 8 per cent. whilst the
decline in silver had only been IL |
per cent. The very next year, 1881,
there was a sharp advance in cotton
and a small decline IN silver, the ad-
vance i'll cotton being 1873 per cent,
and the decline in silver II per cent.
Coming down to 1886 we find a de-
cline in cotton as compared with
1878 of 47.3 per cent whilst silver
had declined only 1872 or less than
one.half of the cotton decline. In
1898. the last year of the table, the
showing is a decline in cotton OF ol.o
and of silver 41.S over the year 1919
or about 33 1.3 per cent. greater de-
cline in cotton than there had Deen III
silver.
Under the Suns treatment 'lie ny
nres of the table speak quite diiiefeht
lv from the usral notes they are mad'
to give out.
The Importance of the assumption
The Greenville times. [volume] (Greenville, Miss.) 1868-1917, 1895-04-27
From this exact exhibit every reader

From this exact exhibit every reader
can form his own conclusion. lie will
see that from Jan. Let, 1894, to March
3rd, silver fell 1.2 cents, or 1873 per
cent and cotton 5-16ths, or AZ per
cent. From March 3rd to May 5th
silver rose cents, or 6.S per cent /;
cotton fell 3-sths or so per cent. From
May 5th to July 9TH both commodities
declined a shade. From July 7th 10
Sept. 1st silver rose 5-8ths, or l per
cent; while cotton fell 3-Stbs, or At
per cent. From Sept. 1st to Nov. Srd
silver remained about stationary, fall
ing only IA cent per ounce or 4-lotbs
per cent aud cotton fell lilo conts
per pound or II per cent. From Nov
3rd to March End, 1895, cotton re-
maiped comparatively stationary. In
this period silver fell 8 18th cents
At the latter date the present rise In
cotton set in-silver following q week
later.
These illustrations of the fallacy Of
the asserted hand in haud movements OF
cotton aud silver, could be multiplied
indefinitely. All through the table
and the same is true of the quotations
of all former years since silver was de-
monetized-the reader will detect that
the reverse is true that cotton some
times advances while silver is falling
and vice versa. For instance on March
8, 1894, silver touched its lowest point
or 80 cents per ounce. Cotton was then
worth z 1-S cents per pound. March
2ud. 1850 year thereafter-silver
had risen 10 so 38 cents all ounce
while cotton had declined to 1-s
cents pound. On March 3lst, 1894
silver was 81 cents ap ounce and cot
ten was Z Lie cents per pound. Al
the corresponding date 1895, silver
had risen to 65 cents al ounce whit
cotton was 5 S.4 cents per pound.

COTTON AND SILyER-FACTS AND
FIGURES.

Two years since u table of compari-
son in prices of cotton and silver, the
yearly average Of each being given,
was prepared by the 16 to free silver
authorities. II ran from 1873 to 1898
aud was presented as a demonstration
OF the controlling influence Of silver
upon cotton; that the fluctuations in
the two commodities moved par passu.
This table has been recently and
widely re-published. 1t has In fact
become u stock argument In favor of
the l6 to proposition. One of
the most distinguished of the public
men Of Mississippi, has accepted this
table of averages as warrant for assert
ing that the identity In relationship
aud movement between the two ar.
ticles is proven as almost mathemat-
ically absolute Another able citizen
In a letter to the public asserted "as q
fact, that since the demonstration oil
silver the fluctuations in the prices OF
cotton had kept pace with those OF
silver bullion with the regularity and
precision which the clock ticks to the
oscillations of the pendulum"
Certainly if IL is true that any rise
iu the price of silver appreciates cot
ton, powerful argument is presented
to cotton planters for free coinage
even with the result of gong to- silver
monometallism. The Okolona Sun
contends that, upon analysis, the table
quoted does not sustain the deductions
assumed. The following is from that
paper:
The casual observer glancing his eye
over this table, as published in the
Clarion Ledger, might be led TO the
conclusion that the fluctuations in the
great staples are dependent on the de-
cline or advance of silver, but close
analysis of the table will prove the
very opposite. We furnish here a
few calculations based upon the table
as to cotton and silver:
