Yesterday afternoon, as scheduled, an
agreement being made between the at

THE SILVER DOLLAR.
An Expose of the Deliberate Lying of the
Wall Stree Organs of the Gold Bug Per-

an Expose OF the Deliberate Lying or the
Wall Stree Organs of the Gold Bug Per-
suasion
Washington Post.
Those great metropolitan dailies
the Sun, Evening Post and World, of
New York, differ in many respects
differ widely and radically-but they
are three of kind when it comes to
lying about the silver dollar and its
value. We may suspect the World of
sheer Ignorance when it says that "a
standard silver dollar is now worth al
most exactly 40 cents. The World is
not remarkable for the extent or the
accuracy Of its information. The Sun
and the Evening Post, however, are
distinguished for intelligence-as dis
tinguished for that as for the vicious
and ignoble uses TO which they some
times put it. They are perfectly aware
that in saying the silver dollar is
worth 40.13 cents" they are saying
what is not true, and that deliberately.
They know that the silver dollar. bear
ing the stamp of the United States, is
worth exactly 100 cents, and that it
will be received at that value by the
government.
1t simply happens that in no matter
relating to silver coinage are these
Wall street organs willing to tell the
truth.
1t is very unfortunate, though, in
view Of the closing Of the worlds minis
to the white metal it is entirely logi-
cal and inevitable, that the bullion
value Of silver should decline so sharp
ly. The uses of silver, safe for money,
are very limited. Like gold silver has
little intrinsic value-that is to say. it
is susceptible Of conversion into very
few agents Of practical utility. A man
anu anu a afiff ,n tiIere ton OF virgin sill
yer. would cheerfully exchange the
whole treasure for a frying pan, jack
knife or an iron spoon. The Klondike
argonauts. should they suddenly be
cut off forever from intercourse with
civilization, would be glad to give all
their gold for an ak apiece or the
means OF securing simple food. The
intrinsic value of the metals is very
light. They are no use whatever to
man in a state of nature, and to or
ganiZed society, outside Of coinage,
tU6N SJdUu IJI HJllt lIGIO lhdll VI Alu
ment and luxury. 1t follows, therefore,
that in closing the minis to silver the
world has Invested silver Of nine
tenths of its utility and value. The
same result would follow similar ac-
ton with reference to gold. Neither
metal would be in any serious demand
or bring any considerable price if the
nations should by common soncent,
destroy their money attribute.
The fact about silver is that so long
as it remains excluded from the worlds
minis its bullion value must depreci-
ate. but it is not true-it is absurdly
and imprudently false-that the value
Of the sampled coin has declined, or
that it can decline, so long as the ma
tion which has stamped it continues
to be solvent. The silver dollar will
buy just as much now as it did ten
years ago. 1t will buy 100 cents worth.
These New York newspapers, with the
possible exception Of the World, know
that it will, and are striving only to
confuse the public mind and to dis
seminate a lie.

CURIOUS LANDS IN FLORIDA.
A SubterTanean Passage Which Is En-
..-

A Subterranean Passage Which Is En-
veloped in Mystery.
Payne's prairie, three miles south
of this city, covers an area Of $4,000
acres. A large portion Of this prairie
is now covered with water, but there
are thousands Of acres around the bor-
ders Of the lake, which has been form
ed on which horses and cattle Craze.
There is no. way of estimating the
number of cattle, but there are many
thousands, and they are in fine condi-
ton. The prairie, or savanna, which
it really is, occasionally goes dry, the
water passing out through a subter-
ranean passage called the sink. Where
the water goes to has never been de-
termind.
Win the sink is open the lake goes
dry, and when the outlet becomes gorg-
ed or choked a lake from five TO seven
miles wide and about eighteen miles
long is formed. When the waters Of
the lake suddenly leave it thousands
of alligators, snakes, fish and turtles
are left with nothing but mud for their
places of abode The fish and turtles
perish. but the saurians and reptiles
seeek and find other quarters. For
miles along the northern border of the
lake there is a succession of sinks, av-
eraging in depth all the way from
twenty-five to one hundred feet. Sub
terranean passages run in every direc-
ton. leaving the ground in the shape
of a honeycomb. The ground is LA
BILE to give way at any time, creating
a new sink.
The scenery around the lake, espe-
cially on the north side, is unique and
grand, and is an attractive feature to
strangers who visit this city. The
sink has been for many years a popu-
lar resort for citizens Of Gainesville,
who go there to fish, boat ride and in
other ways enjoy themselves. 1t is
said this vast area of land could be
drained at a trifing expense, and were
it drained it would be the largest as
well as the richest tract Of productive
land in Florida. Tt is for the most
part a bed of muck. The land is own
ed by various indiyiduals.-Gainesyille

stated that he had held a public hap
tism at Sycamore Grove, at Elm Grove,
Sunday, immersing two persons, a
man and woman, in the creek.
There is a bad split in the Disciples
Church at McMechen and it is reported
that the church will be sold, owing
to the fact that there is an indebt-
edness of S1,1OO hanging over the
church and that the congregation is
divided. About fifteen Of the Oldest
members announce their intention of
leaving and joining with the congrega-
tons at either Moundsville or Bellaire.
The trouble was stirred up over the
departure Of the recent pastor Of the
flock. A portion of the congregation
wanted him to remain and others in
sisted upon him leaving. 1t is stated
that the ones who are chiefly respons-
ible for making it unpleasant for him
were instrumental in calling him.
The congregation has only had its
church built recently and their first
pastor was with them only a few
months. Sunday Rev. Mr.. Watson, Of
Moundsville, came up for the purpose
of healing matters, but his visit only
caused the dissension to break out
afresh.
