The Silver Cure For Hard Times.

st. Louis Globe Democrat (Rep. j:
"The free silverites contend that the
adoption of their policy would put an
end to hard times and bring back our
former condition of general and unex-
ampled prosperity. 1t is easy to make
glittering assertions of this sort, but
they count for nothing in the absence
of sound and practical reasons for ex-
pecting such results under such circum-
stances. When we talk about good times
we mean activity in all kinds Of bust
ness, the Inauguration of new enter
prises, increased expenditures for public
improvements and demand for every
form of labor at satisfactory prices. This
implies as a first necessity the invest
ment of large amounts of capital, the
loaning of money in abundance on notes
and mortgages. There cannot be res
toration of prosperity without the will
ingness of those who have money to let
it be used for business purposes. They
cannot be compelled to invest it or to
loan it, and it is idle to suppose they
will voluntarily do so under confused
and uncertain conditions such as would
surely prevail in the event of a change
to the silver standard. The proverbial
timidity of capital would cause it to lie
idle, and the means could not be OBJ
tanned to enlarge the operations of COM
merce and industry"

Letter From Andrew Jaehson,s Chair.

The following is a part of letter
from Mr.. W. Rives of Prince George
county, Md, which appeared in recent
issue of the Washington Post:
A very large majority of the people
of Maryland, AS also of the whole coun-
try, are honest and believe in honest
money; that is, a currency that is good
the world over, as our currency is today.
I, as a farmer, will not approve of a
platform which will, if the silver craze
should win, compel me, when I send
my produce to market, to put on addi-
tional side, and tail boards to my wagon
to haul back an inflated paper currency
or an additional pair of horses to haul
back debased silver currency; nor will
approve of a platform that, if success
full, would bring ruin to every farmer,
laborer, or merchant of this country, or
would deprive the widow or orphan of
that income which they now have. If
the Chicago platform should be for free
and unlimited coinage of silver my ad-
vice to all true and honest Democrats is
to at once secure likeness of President
Cleveland, as he will be the last Demo-
crat that you will see as president for
at least 80 years, if not longer. We
have all seen the greenback craze, the
ghost dance of the Indians, the Coxey
army delusion, but the silver fad takes
the cake of them all as an unadulterated
craze.
Perhaps these views may seem strange
to some, but would say they were pro-
duced while sitting in the chair that
President Andrew Jackson used the
whole time he was president, and which
he gave to my father, and which often
sit in, and it is to this chair I am in
debted for the honest and correct views
of this communication.

Another Act fn the Familiar MeIo-

Time I'm PrOgress.

After evading the process Of the court
for some time, Maj. George A. Armes, a re-
tired army officer, was arrested this after
noon at the office of his attorneys, Messrs.
Ralston and Siddons, by Baihff Cook on
an order for his apprehension issued by
Judge Cole.
For the second time Maj. Armes is being
SIZED for divorce. the first suit, filed more
than year ago, having been withdrawn
by Mrs. Armes. Pending the final dispo-
sition of the second suit filed last spring,
Judge Hagner ordered that Maj. Armes
Pay his wife 500 month alimony and a
stated amount as &C unset fees.
That order he failed to obey, and the
court directed that unless he made good
the amount in arrears he should be COM
mlttei to jail for contempt of court, and
there confined until he obeyed the court
order. But Maj. Armes not only refused
10 pay Inc amounts due, but left the juris-
election of the court to evade arrest.
Then 1t was that Mrs. Armes' counsel

the sequestration of her husbands real and

which resulted in his arrest this afternoon.
Nal. Armes was taken at once to The
marshars office al the city hall, where he
was held while his counsel endeavored 10
confer with Judge Cole. The judge how
ever, could not be found, having left the
building for Chevy Chase where he is
stopping. Then it was decided to visit the
judge there. and counsel on either sid. left
