Keep Comfortable.
The hotsweather continued yesterday

pursuits were compelled to abandon

ness was materially affected, this fact
being particularly noticeable in the
markets, where buyers were scarce for
market day. Merchants reported the
same condition of affairs.
There were two fatalities traceable

aged DC years, a blacksmith residing
at Henry Clay, while at Tenth and
du Pont streets, was overcome and died
in few minutes.
Herman Kinkil, an employe of the
Hartmann & Fehrenbach Brewing Co.,

WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS
Issued by United States Court In Ste
phensOn and Hasgerty Cases.
IMPRISONMENT OF SINGLE TAKERS
The Action Taken Yesterday
in Their Behalf.

The Single Takers have commenced
proceedings in the United States court
in this city whereby they hope to have
the men imprisoned at Dover liberated
The present case is test and should
it be successful similar action will be
taken in the cases OF all the Single
Takers in Dover Jail.
Walter II. Hayes of this city and j.
H. Ralston of Washington, counsel for
the Delaware Single Tax Association,
made application in the local Federal
tribunal yesterday and were granted
a writ of habeas corpus in the cases OF
Arthur ii. Stephenson and James j.
Haggerty, two Of the Dover prisoners.
This morning at 10 O'Clock was
fixed upon as the time for hearing.
Edward Ridgely and Beniah Watson
will probably represent the Town Coun-
Gil of Dover at the hearing.
This step is not what was at first
proposed, and other action may yet be
taken. 1t was the original intention
of the Single Takers to bring suit for
damages against the Dover town au-
thorities, and while they still have
that object in view their future course
may be determined by the action OF the
court in the present case. Secretary
UuiltiboU, WHO Was seen dtt6T tQ6 Will
had been granted, stated that the mat
ter OF damages is entirely in the hands
of the attorneys. and he was not at
liberty to say what will be done.
Mr.. Miliken also said that it is
altogether likely that there will be no
attempts TO speak on the streets of
Dover until the matter OF the habeaa
corpus cases is settled by the court.
Mr.. Millliken was asked to explain
the purpose of the Single Takers in
Delaware, and in reply he said they
hoped to secure Legislative action in
the interest of their cause, but he was
not prepared TO say whether they
will have an independent ticket
"We have not fully made up our
minds" he said, "as to our exact
programme"
Writs were issued in behalf Of six Of
the Single Takers. but only Haggerty
and Stephenson are to be brought
before the judge. Stephenson has been
in Jail 25 days and has five days more
to serve. The line in each case was $40
in default OF which the prisoner has to
serve 30 days. Durand and Brothers
have been in Jail 25 days. and the
other Single Takers for shorter periods.

FEW HARD FACTS.

| England is the greatest single con-
sumner of American silver. For this
principal reason she forced the United
States into the decentralization of that
metal During the fiscal year, ending
June Both. 1894. our exports Of silver,
in excess of imports. amounted 10 $780,
500, 702. For the fiscal year ending
June Goth. 1895, our net exports OF
silver metal, less imports of silver ore,
amounted TO $27, O16, 13S. For the first
eleven months Of this year ending May
31st, it amounted to S29,927, 662. Thus
within less than three years we have
exported to Great Britain nearly $780,
000000 dollars worth of silver at its
reduced price.
What does Great Britain do with this
silver? She converts a per cent of it
into coin at about 10 10 1 and uses the
balance TO pay for her purchases in the
Indias in China, in Japan and in other
silver using countries. Thus England
works America and American silver at
a large profit This silver at its de-
preciated price is taken from Us in pay
ment Of interest on our ever growing
debt TO London. for freight charges of
English ships and for imports from
England. All these charges we must
pay in wheat and cotton, in gold and
silver. Our exports TO Great Britain
are enormous, averaging annually for
ten years S240,O00,000 yet it takes all
this, leaving us a constant debtor 10
England, which balances are settled in
gold and in silver at 81 to 60 cents per
ounce. The fact that it requires S240,-
100000 to pay our interest and other
charges to England is appalling, even
if our silver could be utilized at 81. %
per ounce. AS it is, it is disastrous.
The silver they get from us, at price
practically fixed by themselves, is used
in silver standard countries where it
will buy as much as il ever did. In
one-half Of the globe silver holds it old
price for all commodities. untouched
by its demonstration in western Eu-
rope and by the United States. With
our silver which we sell at One-half the
old minting price the British trader
forces down the prices Of our products.
By the the opening Of our minis 10 sill
yer again, and with such a protective
tariff as would set our factories to go
ing again, we would displaee English
goods in the Orient to that degree that
England would be forced TO restore
bimAfalliSm or otherwise American
markets also would be closed against
her. While an independent money sys-
TEN would not free us from our indebt-
edness TO England, it would free US
from British yaSsalage by providing
the wherewith TO meet our obligations.

power of money, in this instance il can
only prove effective to a very limited
extent, and only with the rag-tag and
bob-tail crew who happen 10 be unin-
strueted, and possibly in few isolated
instances even with instructed dele
gates-as in Kansas-who virtually
begged Cleyeland's pardon for daring
10 oppose his commands. Certainly,
some members of the Kansas delega-
ton who humbled themselves in the
dust at the feet of the aubocrat of the
White House. may be justly regarded
with suspicion.
Belmont, Whitney & Co, will do their
best at Cancellation, but the western
and southern fellows are mad TO the in
tensity of white heat, and as far re-

who after the battle will seek some
cool resort in Europe during the swell
tering dog days, the added comfort and
satisfaction OF having won the golden
fleece at the grand tournament Of Chi
cago. Healthy mined people, beyond
being diverted viii take little interest
in the Chicago convention. They have
lost confidence in the party, and all the
promises and pledges that could pos
sibly be made, will not win them back,
