Holland last evening for creating a disturb

BOOMING EXTRAORDINARY.

"tteHIlou given Dy the more
serVlie sort l.of the Republican news
papers to the alleged successes of our
bimetallic commissioners abroad serves
no other purpose than to make Them
RIDICULOUS. Whoever concocted and
sent to this country the cableg:am
containing an account of an article in
the National Review, of London. was
an able fakir. 1t was stated in this
article that the government of France
had agreed with our commissioners
upon policy, in combination with the
government of the United States. to
restore the free coinage of silver under
some conditions not named. 1t was
added that the British government had
assured our representatives that IT
would reopen the mints of India to the
free coinage of silver, and also make
an arrangement by which the Bank
OF England should base it's notes unon
a metallic foundation with silver as cne
OF It's clements This affords the de-
sired opportunity to boom the work of
the Wolcott junketing trip at a time
when the rank and file Of Republicans
are becoming exceedingly disgusted
with the dominance of the tariff issue
ana the failure to do anything in the
line of currency reform
OF course, to any one who knows
even little about the governments of
Europe, their policies and their meth
oos OF procedure, the story wears it's
Iolly on It's face. When the French
government decides upon a new none
tary policy, 1t will not be confided to
the public through an obscure London
newspaper. When the government of
the United States is ready to enter
a b1metallic agreement with France
the announcement will come from
Washington, and will have to be ap-
proved and ratified by the two houses
or congress before it becomes more
than mere canard. When the govern
ment of England is ready to reverse
the policy entered upon only after
years cf deliberation and at the cost
or great inconvenience to itself it will
be heard of in parliament, and some
note of it will be found in the columns
of the Times or the Chronicle or the
Telegraph. 1t will not come out
through the medium Of a publication
whose very name is unfamiliar to
English, as we'll as to American read
ers.
In point Of fact, the astute press
agent of our bimetallic representatives
oVerdid the thing When he announced
the reopening of the Indian Inints to
the free coinage Of silver, a thing than
which nothing is more improbable, and
which, unless accompanied by some
substantial guarantees and benefits.
would turn any party out of power in
parliament forthwith, he gave the
whole snap away. No doubt there is
a stronger sentiment abroad at this
time than for years previous, if ever,
in favor Of some larger use of silver
as money. Undoubtedly, no minister
and no government is going to act in
this matter, or give any assurance of
action, until after 1t is thor
oughly canvassed and a general
agreement can be arrived at Those
who have hoped flor practical results
from the woicottss commission will find
the most serious blow to their expecta-
tions in the publication of report so
exaggerated and absurd in it's terms
as to lend weight to the belief that
it is put forth to cover a total failure

GREAT INDIGNATION
Being Expressed at the Action of Tax Collector
francis in Garosheeing Negroes
Special to The Age-Herald.


Besselner, Dec 20.-Last week nearly four
hundred garnishments for county poll tax
were served on Decentralization and
Woodward mine employees and since
the fact has become known there is con-
siderable indignation among the local mer-
chants. On account of the garnishments
not being returnable until after Christmas
more than 5000 in wages has been tied
up, which would all have been spent in
Bessemer, and some of which was already
due for necessaries of life furnished on
credit.
AS is customary with the Howard Har-
rison company and the Woodward COM
pany. as an accommodation to the men,
the December pay day is made to come
just before Christmas. Nine-tenths of
those garnished are poor negroes, living
from hand to mouth, on whom these pro-
ceedings will work a great hardship.
1t is also charged against the local rep
resentatives of Collector Francis that they
did not give the customary notice and that
they were discriminate in serving only
negroes and no white men.
Attorney B. Clay Jones consulted with
the collectors and tried to get them to
release the money above $50, which is
the amount of poll tax and the costs of
garnishment, but this was refused.
1t Is also learned from a competent au-
thority that the Decentralization pay roll,
from which the collectors made out their
list of garnishments, was surreptitiously
obtained. One office employee was offered
ten dollars to furnish the same, but re-
fused. The whole matter will have a thor
ough investigation.
In the near future Mr.. and Mrs. Clint
G. Ford, assisted by local talent, will pro-
duce Damon and Pythias for the benefit of
Myrtle and Linton lodges, Knights of Py-
thias.

commissioner of agriculture, is devoting a
good deal of his time to the success of the
state convention of farmers, which is to
assemble here during next month. The
commissioner feels very confident that the
assembly can be great service to- those

it will have a material effect in reducing

He expects that at the meeting farm
ers' state association will be organized,
which will ramify into branch county and
neighborhood associations and in this way
all of the farmers will be reached. Major
Culver says he has met with considerable
encouragement thus far.
