Most on Silver.

DETROIT, Sept. 4.-Mr. G. w. varnum,
a prominent Republican OF this city, re
Gently wrote Herr Most, asking what his
position was on the silver question, and
has received the following reply:
"I have expressed the opinion that at
present gold only can be used as proper
standard OF alues, because its cost OF pro-
duction is staple and alike all over the
world, whereas silver is getting cheaper
eevry year. III, therefore, the latter might be
used as money, Notwithstanding the facts
stated above, II should be done accord
ing 10 its market price, not 16 to 1, but
at this moment 30 TO 1, though that
would render silver very inoonvenient.

Novel Tug of War.

BURLINGTON, VT, Sept. As Q result
of controversy between .the Rutland
railroad and the Central Vermont, two
engines, representing the respective
roads, engaged In tug OF war here this
morning over two cars loaded with ma
chinery from the repair.shops OF the Rut-
land road. The Central Vermont engine
finally won, because someone slipped the
coupling of the other locomotive and the
contested cars with their load were taken
to st. Albans. The Central Vermont
road, as lessees of the Rutland Road,
have had under consideration q plan
for tn, removal OF the repairs shops
which have long been located at ST. AL
bans. The idea is opposed by the Rut-
land management and this morning,
when a gang Of workmen came down
from st. Albans and began to remove the
machinery, which they loaded upon two
fat cars, the opposition determin-
eo to prevent its removal.
Just as the Central y Vermont
engine with tue loaded cars was about to
start, q Rutland engine was set down the
track and attached to the other end.
Then came the tug Of war. Each engine
backed ana filed as the other tried to
haul away the load or to block it's prog
ress. Finally some one pulled the coup
ling pin from between the Rutland en-
gine and the nearest car and the Central
Vermont was victorious. The engines
steamed away for st. Adams.
