first business transaction that is of re-
cord in all the world is related in the
Bible, where Abraham weighed to
Ephron four hundred Sheckels of silver.
Money was then weighed, as the mint
age of the metals was unknown. But
this transaction was made in silver.
Now then, from the earliest time. when
man traded with his fellow man, bust
ness was conducted with silver. Shall
We of the nineteenth century, after two
thousand years of experience OF all the
great nations of the earth. with silver
as money. many of which have long
since persisted. decide that after all the
money of those times was dishonest
money. and it remains with us to say
that we have discovered the real sound
and the really honest coin? The found
ers of our own government certainly
cannot he charged with dishonesty,
and they advised and had minted silver
rs well as gold that passed current for
all debt paying purposes. They are
upon record as against the sing gle stand
ard, and predicted the ills that would
flow from the adoption of such poll
cy. What was predicted then is hap
pening now under this agitation against
silver in favor of gold. Gold is appre-
ciating in value and silver is sinking,
and as soon as the financial system is
fully adopted then the dearer will that
money become and the cheaper will he
whatever BUYS that money.

THE APPOINTMENT
OF JUDGE.

In less than one month Governor
Lowndes will he called upon to appoint
4 successor to Judge John b. Brooke,
for the Seventh Judicial Circuit, whose
term of office will expire. Our circuit
is composed of four counties Of South
crn Maryland, and is represented by a
Bar. the equal of any portion Of our
State. As the time draws near for the
exercise of the power of appointment
by the Governor, the Baltimore Amer
ican has seen fit to suggest the name
of Mr.. Loweree, at present clerk in
executive office at Annapolis. Now
this appears to us as a little ofticious
and out of place The office is one
that peculiarly belongs to our own peo-
pie, and in which they are entirely con-
cerned, and it would seem entirely natu-
raj that they would prefera member of
their own bar, and one who is in the
active practice of his profession, to
one who is not a practitioner in any
county composing it, and who is not
known to our people even as a lawyer.
We have in the four counties of the
circuit an able bar, and from the men,
bers of the profession composing it.
there can hardly be mistake made in
the appointment. We have put the
matter broadly, but after all the ap-
pointment belongs to our own county.
We can point with pride to the men,
bers of our bar, and the Governor can
find a worthy successor to Judge
Brooke without giving himself the
least trouble. With such an appoint
ment our people will be satisfied be-
cause the incumbent will be from
among us, and surely the views and
wishes of the people most concerned
should be consulted. We can see no
claims whatever that Mr.. Lowercc has
upon the office, save and except that
he is Il Republican, and the appointee
must he as matter of course from
that party. But this we urge is not
the only qualification that must he pos
sess I'd by the applicant for Executive
favor, and we have such an abiding
faith in the fairness of Governor
Lowndes. as to believe that he will
not so snub the members of our bar.

THE MERRY, MERRY HANNA.

1t is such fun, says the Cincinndfid
Enqnirtr, to read what Hanna says. He
is so hilarious. This is his first real dash
in politics, and he enjoys it as a stage
struck youth enjoys amateur theatricals.
He has alreaday carried the election and
admits the fact. Mckinley's majority in
Ohio will be 100000, in Illinois 375 900,
in Indiana 100000, in Michigan 100000, in
Wisconsin 200, 900, in Minnesota. 200, 900,
and in Iowa about the same. He will carry
all of the other Western States, from
Missouri to the Pacific Ocean, by majori-
ties somewhat less than these. All the
Eastern States will also be carried and all
the Southern States. Mr. Bryan will not
carry any State This is because Mark
Hanna has been McKinleys manager.
The Republican party is SO glad that it
found Hanna. Hanna elected Mckinley
as soon as he had made certain Ohio,
Indiana and Illinois. And ever since he
has been merely rolling up the great
majorities and carrying all the unnecces-
sary States, just to show what he can do
He has authorized the statement that he
is fired by the ambition to show what
business man can do in politics. 1t is so
nice OF Hanna to show us that, and it is
so nice of him to be fired by anything
Some of us, who do not believe that Nc
kinley will carry a single state west of
the Allegheny Mountains or south of
Mason and Dixon's line, have an idea that
Hanna will not be fired by ambition on
the Sd of November, but that he will be
fired by a popular landslide which will
make him want to forget that he ever went
into politics.
In justice to Mr.. Hanna, we will say
that we do not think he fools himself with
any actuaI hone of McKipIav'S alect;op
His idea is that it is his business to claim
every state by large majority. Other
wise the campaingn funds would be with
held. and the Republican party would go
to pieces before election day. We think
the best and only thing Mr.. Hanna can
do is to keep up his big game of bluff

In the Supreme Court of Kings county
Monday Judge Clement decided in favor
of the Democratic County Committees
protest against the use upon the official
ballot of the designation National Demo
cratic by the gold-standard Democrats
and Shepard faction of the party
In his opinion. Judge Clement says that
the political party name of the National
Democratic party is substantially the same
as the name Democratic party and infringes
upon the right of the use thereof by the
political party known as the regular Dem
ocratic party" The matter was at once
taken before the Appellate Division and
the decision was reversed

of Boston, Capt. Patrick, from
Gibrara, Cuba, to Wilmington, n i.
c., has arrived at quarantine. The
schooner left Cuba July IA. Two
days later, while off the Cuban
coast, near Neuvitas Harbor, she
passed Spanish gunboat about
II miles away. The gunboat
opened fire on the schooner send
ing solid shot over her deck.
The shell fell in the sea a quarter
of mile to starboard having done
no damage? Capt. Patrick i'm
mediately ran up the American

as quickly as he could. He was
unable to learn the name of the

make an official report as soon as
the schooner is entered at the Gus
tom house. The schooner was not
