pieces by a Southern Pacific train last
night at Castle Switch, near here. From

Brooklyn Standard. Union: til Just
the luck of the deploFable Democratic
party to have attached themselves to
pig silver as the great and only medi-
cine for prosperity, just at the time
when the silver question had become
impossible. The impossibility of
silver party to any great extent much
longer is seen In the fact that there is
no chance for the rehabilitation of sill
yer except for gold to become so sbun-
dant and cheap as to decline more than
half way to silver, and that Is rather
remote. The silver theory Of scarcity
of gold Is exploded at last. There is
