LAST NIGHTS MEETING
ALTO o. +. Hall Well Attended-The Ex-
cellent Programme Rendered.

ALTO. o. f. Hall Well Attended-The Ex-
cellent Programme Rendered.
Last evening the veterans of the G..
A. r. Posts, members OF the w. R. c.,
Sons of Veterans, and others assembled
at |. o. o. f. Hall. where very inter
esting programme was rendered, as
follows:
l. Quartette-"Gently Fall OH.
Dews Of Heaven" .Messrs.
Reed, Woodwork, Ovens and
Parker.
.. Whistling Marching. 49,.
Through Georgia" -. Master
Thomas Helmbright.
3. Address by the Orator of the even
ing, Mr.. c. B. Hart.
4. Trio-"The Vacant Chair"
Messrs. Reed Parker and Emerson.
5. Solo" Memorial Day" &c. I. Reed
6. Address. 80. Rev. Dr. Buckley
Z. Quartette-"They Sleep in Their
Country's Blue"
The address by Mr.. Hart, while not
an extended one, was most interesting.
One thought which was made promi-
nent was the varying modes of, not OBJ
serving but rather Of celebrating
the day by many people who failed TO
grasp the proper conception of the ami
versary, or grasping it, preferred, not
from a necessarily improper motive, to
treat it as a day of recreation and en-
joyment. rather than of remembrance
of the great deeds of those who died in
the service of their country. He touch
ed upon the war and its results gener-
ally but earnestly, and laid particular
stress upon the services of General
Grant. and his determination to crush
the rebellion, as soon as possible, no
matter at what cost to either side. He
pictured the country as strengthened
by the result of the mighty conflict
which forever settled the talk Of seces-
sion, and touched upon other matters
with earnest and effectiveness. He
was listened to from start to close with
the greatest attention.
The address by Rev. DR.. Buckley was
also an able effort.
After the rendition of the programme
Richard Robertson, on behalf Of the
veterans, returned the thanks OF the
G.. A. r. to the Women's Relief Corps
for the work done in preparing decor
atoms for the Soldiers monument, TO
the Sons of Veterans for the decoration
of the monument, to Janitor Samuel
Sloan, OF the City Hall, for cleaning
the monument and decorating the
building, to the Wheeling Park Asso-
citation, for its lavish donations Of flow
ers, to City Clerk Charles Dannenberg,
for his donation of ported plants, and
generally to all who in any manner
contributed to the work of the day.

FALLING INTO LINE.
Another Company Disposes OF It's Plant
and Discontinues Business

LaGrange. Ills, May 30-The La
Grange Automatic Telephone Company
is a relic of the past After a service Of
nearly two years the enterprise has
proven profitless and the Company has
disposed of its plant for nominal sum,
barely sufficient to cover the indebted
ness of the Company.
The LAGRANGE Company was first or
ganized for the purpose OF installing
the Stronger automatic system Of tele-
phones in the village, which were ex-
pected to work automatically, and with
out the service of an attendant at the
central Office. This system was found
not to work satisfactorily, and later
another too its place. Added to this,
the Chicago Telephone Company was
forbidden, through its charter from the
Bell Company, to connect with them
for outside purposes, and this to great
extent lessened its value to people doing
business in the city. AS soon as the
Chicago Company received permission
to place its phones in the village there
was naturally falling off Of subscrib-
ers to the local system in favor of the
one that could furnish many additional
advantages, and the final result was
apparent that the home people could
not long retain prestige.
Some of the stockholders of the auto
matte system are very bitter towards
the Council for allowing opposition
after they had invested their money for
the benefit of the village, but the de-
mand for a Chicago connection was
such that the Board had no other al
tentative but to accede to them and al
low the Chicago people meager foot
hold.

OTHER EVENTS OF THE DAY.
Large Crowds at the Parks, Picnlcs, Ball

Large Crowds at the farks, flCnics, Dali
Games, Etc.
Thousands of people laid aside their
usual cares to seek a few hours or
pleasure and recreation at the Parks
or at some Of the other outdoor events
of the day.
At Wheeling Park the people began
coming early in the morning, but the
threatening weather towards noon and
soon afterwards kept great many hun
dreds away. Still the day there was
delightful one, the rain of the early
afternoon not seriously marring the
outing. The Opera House band was IN
attendance, and played concert music
during the morning and afternoon. foi-
lowed by dance music during the latter
portion OF the afternoon and evening.
Caedo's aerial performance was greatly
admired. and the other amusements lot
which the Park is noted afforded recre-
alton for ALL The splendid condition
of the grounds throughout was greatly
admired. while the site for the lake and
the new railroad switch were Inspected
by many with interest.
At Mozart Park there was another
large crowd, and the two performances
5y the Gonzalez Opera Company were
witnessed by good audiences. As az

TIE Louisville Courier Jomnol has bolted the Chicago platform and ticket. The editor of the GRAPHIC has been an admirer and follower of the Coarier-Jomnal from childhood, but we must respectfully part com pany with it now. We believe in fighting in the party for ones plin- ciples, but when the party has spoken and decided the issue, it is the duty of all Democrats to accept the result as cheerfully in defeat as in victory. Otherwise, there can be no harmonious or triumphant Democracy, and the stability of the Republic depends upon the main- tenance of Democratic principles.

WHAT IS MONEY?
IL Is Not Only Measure, but Repre-
 sentative of Values.


 Money is not only Q measure of val ues, but representative of values as we'll In this it differs from a yardstiek. The latter measures, but does not repre- sent. Two dollars measures, let us say. the value Of 8 day s work. ftalso repre- sents days work. At the close of the day the workman goes up for his wage He wants food and clothing. That is what he has been working for But it would be manifestly inconvenient for him to receive fresh meat, which might spoil before he could carry it home, or other things which he might not be just then ready to receive, so the employer gives him $2 i'll money. That represents his days work, and he can exchange it at his convenience for such things as he may require and as he requires them 1t is of great importance to the work man that the $2 he receives for his work shall be good dollars. with the greatest possible purchasing power. At one time during the war two gold dollars would buy as much as six greenbaelz dollars.
 No kind of dollar will be of full pur- chasing power unless it can be readily exchanged for a gold dollar. The silver in a silver dollar is worth only a little more than half as much as the gold in gold dollar And yet at this time a silver dollar will buy as much as a gold dollar The reason of this is that by the act of 1890 it is the declared policy of the United States to keep the silver dol lar equal to the gold dollar. And the government is ready at any time to give gold dollar i'll exchange for the silver dollar. As long as that continues the two metals will be maintained at the ratio of l6 to l. The danger of free coinage is that so many silver dollars would be coined that 1t would be i'm possible to exchange them for gold. The very instant that happens the silver dol lar will depreciate-that is, it will buy less than gold dollar, or only as much as the bullion contained in it is worth in gold This is what has happened in all free silver coinage countries. In Panama it is said, there is a hotel where the rates are $5 q day Recently a traveller from the United States gave a 50 goldpiece at that hotel for days board, and to his surprise. he received S5 silver dollars in change The real rate was $2. 50 day, and the silver pieces, called dollars, were, in fact, only 50 cents Free coinage would have the effect of driving gold dollars out of the United States, and the only circulating money would be dollars worth about 50 cents each.

"The Crime 1s7:21 ?

''Sound Currency (published at B William street, New York for June 1 contains a very interesting article by Congressman McC1eary of Minnesota on the coinage actof 1873-"The Crime of 1873, " as frequently designated by the cheap money advocates, who charge it with the stealthy and corrupt demon etization of silver

MeCleary shows conclusively from contemporary records that the bill, instead of going through congress like the silent tread of a cat, 2" had actually been before that body for about three years; that it was printed at least 13 times; that it was carefully debated ill both houses (the debates in the senate occupying 66 columns and those of the house 78 columns of The Congressional Globe), and that with the exception of the addition of silver trade dollar to meet the wishes of the Pacific coast, it finally passed substantially as intro duced Every important feature of the bill was fully explained in the original report and afterward in the debates on the bill itself. Instead of the surrepti- tious dropping out of the standard dol lar just before the passage of the act, as so frequently alleged, the fact ap- pears that the standard 41216 grain dol lar Cor any her provision for free ooin- age of silyer) was never in the bill from first to last.
 Mr. McCleary also exposes with great clearness the Ernest seyd myth, and shows conclusively that the allegations so widely circulated as to that gentle man s corrupt connection with the act are most audacious falsehoods.

 Some of the terms used by editors in regard to .copy," or manuscript, are peculiar to the trade, and when applied in particular cases would to the unin- itiated appear to be of violent aud criminal character.
 The order to < Kill Cleveland, D for instance. would on its face seem to par take of treason. The murderous expres- sion, however, would simply signify that the editor desired that an article in regard to the chief executive should be destroyed.
