New York San, (Dena.): From 1884
TO 1873 the "free and unlimited coinage
of both gold and silver" resulted in the
coinage of only little more than 5,000,.
900 standard silver dollars, or an average
of 1875, 900 year, the number one year
being as small as l, 100. Silver was used
during all that period as subsidiary coin
aud scarcely anything else. The assertion
that the value of gold and silver is deriv-
ed from their use as money, is putting
the cart before the horse. They are used
Ms money because they arc valuable, and
are not valuable because they are used as
money. Legislation can no more add 10
their value or diminish it than it can add
to or diminish the value of copper and
iron. The assertion thnt n dollar in gold
will buy, 10 day. twice as much land as il
would buy in 1878, is so rdiculously un-
true that nobody in his senses would dare
to make 1t except POpocrat. II might
as well be said that dollar in gGli will
buy twice as much labor as il did in
1873, but that lie was little too much
even for Popocrat.

An account in an exchange, OF Il G
meeting of the Democratic State Commit
tee, held at Jersey City, last Saturday,
says
An amusing incident occurred just be-
fore the meeting of the committee. State
Senator Kuhl met Senator Smith in the
corridor and said TO him:
"ls wha. see in the papers the truth
about you, Senator2"
"Yes, it's true, ;" replied Senator Smith.
at took great deal of thought before
reached that conclusion, but II was the
only way could satisfy my conscience. u
81 suppose you did it to gain reputa'
tion," suggested Mr.. Kuhl.
Senator Smith gasped, but, recovering
quickly, replied: "Yes, IL want repu-
tation for honesty" Before he could 60
any further, the sergeant-at-arms an
nonnced that the committee was waiting,
and the incident closed.
IL u. s. Senator Smith is seeking a rep.
utaiion for honesty, will Senator Kuhl
please iuform us what kind Oft reputation
he is seeking2

A SIGNIFICANT DEPARTURE

With the departure of another
year when a review il made of the
condition of affairs, it is only right
that some thought be given to the
physical body which enables every
one to battle with llfe's problem and
figure for themselves the profit or
loss On the trial balance sheet.
Though the bank account may be
large and each ones material gain be
great. it would not be surprising if
it suddenly dawns upon many that
good health has been greatly impov-
erished by the low condition of the
blood. 1t Is in this state that the
tactic acid in the vital fluid attacks
the flbrous tissues, particularly the
joints, making known the local man
ifestations of rheumatism, Thousands
of people have found in Hoods Sar-
saparilla the great blood purier, a
positive and permanent cure for
rheumatism.

our engineer, Mr.. w. G.. Scott, and
pick out a location for building a

{ large tract of land on the river above
Brownsville, mostly in Cameron
county, which we propose cuttih up
into twenty-acre tracts for colonial
ton purposes. Mr.. Scott, who has
been there for several months, is a
civil as we'll as hydraulic engineer.
We propose irrigating our lands
down there same as we do in Cali
fornia. We don't expect to do any
pumping of water; our system of ir-
rigation will be bitches, which we
propose to make extensively. We
propose to furnish our colonists a
market for their produce, have a
commission man from California
who understands his business and
has the experience" allow about
transportation we asked. Mr.. Full

railroad into that country, lam the

INSURGENTS GAIN GROUND
Residents of Havana Join the In
surgents.-Capture of Stores.

Special to The HERALD.
Havana, Jan. Accommodation
with Pinar del Rio is still very
much interrupted, but reports re-
ceived by couriers show that the in
surgents under antonio Maceo are
displaying great activity and are do
ing much damage, dispite the re-
ports sent out that he was being
closely pressed by the Spanish troops
and was anxious to escape into Ha-
vana as best he could. 1t is admit :
ted that some 200 residents of Pinar
del Rio province have joined the
forces of the insurgents.
Maceo and his men are in the ex-
treme Western portion of Pinar del
Rio, according to the latest accounts
The volunteer troops at Paso Real
and Guines report that large num-
bers of insurgents have been passing
these points in the direction of the
city of Pinar del Rio and that they
have formed a junction with Maceo
whose following was about four
thousand.
AT Managua the insurgents learn
ed from confidential sources of the
whereabouts of large stores of am
munition, which were all captured
At Santa Isabel, which is on the
Western coast of Cuba, the store:
were plundered and at Santa Maria
the same was done. Those who are
fleeing before advance of the insur-
gents can go no further west on
the island. At Arroyas de
Montau they have boarded the
pilot boats for refuge. Maceo has
now entered the province Of Pinar
del Rio az far west as the sea coast,
and it remains to be seen whether
the claims of tho authorities can be
made good that he will not be allow
ed to return to the eastward or TO
rejoin his forces with those of
Gomez.
