MOONEY PROMOTED.

Mr. c. P. ]. Mooney, formerly of this city where he is we'll known, but for the past four years city editor Of the Memphis Scinaitar, has been ap- pointed managing editor of the Memphis Commercial-Appedt. MT Mooney did his first newspaper work on the GRAPHIC in 1888 but the year following accepted similar posi- tion with the Press Eagle. Subse- ouently he went to Memphis and ac- cepted position on the old Aua- Iaache, and his career in Memphis Journalism has been one of rapid promotion. He now holds the sec ond highest position on the Conmer- cial- Appeal, and his many Pine Bluff friends will be greatly rejoiced to learn of his brilliant success. The Memphis Scimitar makes the follow ing editorial mention of Mr. Moon ey's promotion:
 '.The Scimitar congratulates it's esteemed contemporary, the Comnter- cial-Appeal, upon an important ac- quisition. Mir. c. P ]. Mooney has been appointed managing editor of that paper and enters upon the dis charge of his duties today. MT. Mooney began his newspaper career in Memphis about six years ago, as a reporter for the old Anaiaache. On the sale of that paper to the dppedt in 1890, he became reporter for the ,Scimitar and was shortly after made it's city editor. He has been unre- mitting in his attention to his duties, enterprising yet very careful, and in all respects has proven himself thor oughly trustworthy and reliable. He has earned his promotion by good, honest work, and carries with him in his new position the good wishes of every one of his associates and of the many stanch friends he has made outside of his profession. He has an unblemished personal and professional record, his abilityis is un- questioned and his success certain. "

eyer hear anything like that? What Will they connect me with next, I wonder? Whenever I have toasted the ladies 1 have always preached the inviolability of the marriage tie as consistently as I've advocated the cause of protection, although 1 read an account last week of where a man on the east side struck down his wife with huge picture frame that hung over the bed, on one end of which was carved i'll large raised letters the touching inscription, God Bless Our Home. A curious detail in connection with the man who wanted the pass was that he was an Irishman. Irishmen rarely apply for divorces, but they do for passes. lie told me that he had been at one time ill the British ar my, and when looked at the fellow 1 could not help recalling the bull which Sir George Campbell perpetrated once when he asserted that the pale face of the British soldier is the backbone of our Indian army. He said that he had been ill Jameson's raid into the Trans vaal.
 What, said I, 'an Irishman?
 " Yis, Misther Depew, he answered. but shure we were fightin the Dutch.
 And did you do any fighting?'
 We'll, sir. to tell you the truth, I had enough of that with the ould wom- all. We only made believe we were fighting, and when got back, although was color sergeant, mind you, she wint away, and 1 never saw her until about 8 year ago, when I met her here i'll New York
 This mans request was so entirely original that I ordered some inquiries made about him, and found that his story was correct, with the exception of his account of his wife, which abound ed ip what French writer has described as a vehement reaction against the des- potism of fact ;
 Did he get the pass?"
 His audacity iii calling again so un- manned me that I began seriously to consider his request Did you read Poet Laureate Austin's poem. said I, on Jameson 8 ride?'
 No, sir, said he.
 Well, said I, any Transvaal rider who hash t read that doesn't deserve a divorce, doesn't deserve a pass en the New York Central, doesn't deserve to live. -
 The voice of the great orator almost unconsciously became one continual ere seendo, and as he ceased speaking he turned again to the long distance tele- phone and asked Central this time to give him Boston.
 "Fhe laureate's poem on Jameson's ride must have impressed you, ob- served the reporter.
 Impressed me, siri Why, it did more. It impacted me, if I might coin a word-took me off my feet, laid me fiat on my baek-knoeked me down, in word. Just think of the closing stanza in all probability ono of the most pa- thetie and profound inspirations that ever touched the hearts of men with the power of song:
 Wrong, was it2 Wrong2 We'll, maybe
 Still think at the judgment day,
 When God sifts the good from the bad men,
 There'n be something more to say.
 There, D he echoed, as he said good by to the telephone and goodby to the reporter, "that ought to do for one day " New York Recorder.

HIS NAME WAS JONES.
How the Senator From Nevada Fooled q
 Young Clerk.

A tall man in black clothes of no particular style entered Broadway jewelry shop the other day and asked to see a watch. The clerk, sizing him up for poor country parson who would be well rid of, produced Q $200 timepiece as diseourager. The stranger looked it over and asked to see something better. Winking to the cashier, the clerk reached for specially made ehronometer, the price of which he felt would be Q squeleher. The seedy man examined the watch and inquired its value
 "One thousand dollars, , said the bright clerk
 Ah, :" observed the customer. Let me see 6 chain, please. '
 An expensive chain was produced, and then the visitor selected valuable charm which had been made for exhibi- tion only. The stranger stuck the jew elry into his vest pocket, and the clerk, fearing that he might have entertained a thief, kept close to the suspect who quietly fished out big roll of bills and placed two thousand dollar gold eertifi- cates upon the counter Utterly feazed, the salesman remarked that it was GUS tomary to keep the names of customers to identify goods if lost by purchasers.
 My name is Jones, " said the stran- ger. Senator Jones of Nevada You may address me at the capitol " And the silver senator, taking the change for his gold certificates, departed New York Sun

An Item of Expense.

In handling silver and using it as
currency lies the fact that $50 of gold
can be stored in the same space as 81
of silver. This has entailed an expense
Of many hundreds of thousands of dol
lars ON our government in the last IS
years for storing the silver dollars which
the people registered as too cumbersome
for their pockets. Every time the treas
ury changes hands, and probably much
oftener in the banks of this country, tho
stock of coil is counted over. 1t is just
as easy to count $40, 900 in gold double
eagles as 81 600 in silver. If we open
our minis to silver, all gold will disap-
pear from circulation, at least so far as
domestic business is concerned, and a
large and increasing expense will be in
ficted on the mercantile class, and to a
lesser degree on the whole community,
in handling and counting the more
cumbersome coin.

Freight Charges Have Declined.

In the course of his remarks concern
ing certain fixed charges" by reason of
which the farmer since 1878, as he as
serts has found it more and more
difficult to live" Mr.. Bryan said:
RAILROAD rates have not been re-
ducod to keep pace with falling prices. +"
Mr.. Bryan must have known that
this was not true. The reduction of rail-
road frCig't rates, caused in part by
laws enacted in Legislatures which west
ern farmers controlled, as well as by
competition and by improvements which
lowered the cost of service, has for long
time been the subject Of popular discus
sion in Nebraska and other western
states
The government publishes the follow
ing statement concerning the remark
able decline in freight rates on wheat,
in cents per bushel, by lake, canal a, :

Benefits of High Prices.

The issue between the friends Of
sound money and the believers in sc
cent dollars is at bottom a question
whether cheap goods or high prices a.e
best for the whole country. Until e.
people understand that their interest;
will be best served by gradual reduc,
ton in the cost of all kinds Of oommod.
tiles plans for getting rich by paying
more for goods will be advocated and
seriously considered. There is no doubt
but that an artificial increase of prices
would benefit some persons. But the
people as a whole would be injured,
and the principle of the greatest good
the greatest number forbids the graz .,
ing of faVors to one class at the expense
Of all others.

Why Dollars Would Be Cheap.

The cry Of the silver adherents is that
silver is the money of the poor, while
gold is the money Of the rich. But sill,
yer will be the money of the poor and
rich alike when we are ON the silver
basis, just as paper was the money of
rich and poor alike when we were on a
paper basis. The buying power of silver
will be exactly what the buying power
of paper was-i. G., its value relative to
gold. If s'ver is worth one-half of
what gold :, it will buy one-half of
what gold will. That is law of trade
as immutable as the law of gravitation
or any law of naturalization Herald.

Where Jefferson Stood.

Thomas Jefferson not only insisted
that the dollar, whether of gold or sill
yer, should contain dollars worth of
metal, the amount to be determined by
the market prices, but he went farther.
He had an Unborn, honest detestation Of
the coin clipping methods by which
governments had sought to defraud the
governed. He denied the right of COLI
gress to debase thu coin by a reduction
in its value.

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 10, 90.

A doctor can tell you exactly what he
thinks is the matter with you. If he fully
realized Just one great truth he would come
nearer to doing this. The thing he doesn't
fully appreciate is the fact that the man with
pure blood and good digestion can never
have anything very serious the matter with
him. If you get your blood in good condi-
ton, and keep it rich, and pure and whole
some, you will thereby cure almost any dis
ease with which mankind are afflicted. A
sewer may be pretty dirty, but if you keep
continually flushing it with pure water, you
will eventually get it clean. The body may be
full of impurities, but in the natural course
of events these impurities will be excreted
and, If they are not replaced by other i'm
purities, the body will become pure and
healthy. If you continually pump pure,
rich blood into diseased organ, the disease
will gradually disappear and soundness and
health of the tissues will be restored.
That is the theory and that is the actual
result of the use of DIR. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. 1t doesn't make any
difference what your doctor calls your dis.
ease, the Golden Medical Discovery will
cure it; and it will cure it by making the
blood pure and rich, by stimulating the di-
gestive organs, invigorating the liver, and
by soothing and strengthening the nerves.
1t is the most wonderful blood-maker and
fesh-builder that has ever been known. 1t
is the most successful medicine of it's kind
that was ever prepared.
Sometimes in connection with the Golden
Medical Discovery it is wise to take few of DR.
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. They afe the only DOS
tive and permanent cure for constipation and as
fully restored. Frequently the Pellets are all
that are needed. One is gentle laxative and two
a mild cathartic. They are perfectly natural "a
their action and cause no pain or gripping.
