The Cost OF Attempting TO MaIRtaln
silver.
IN. 0. States.


Our very able evening contempora-
~, the Louisville Post, gives the fol-
lowing extremely interesting and IN
s.ructive figures, which our readers
should ponder. Does not the loss to
the government of $206,000,000 10
sustain silver cut some figure in the
late business and industrial depression
of the country, and does 1t not show
the utter impossiGlity of maintaining
gold and silver on parity at ratio
of l6 to II
"Consider the tremendous loss
which the taxpayers must meet, due
to the several purchase acts,' by which
an effort was made to keep up the
price of silver.
"Under the Bland Allison bill the
United States government purchased
POI 100000 ounces at an average cost
of $l085S an ounce, and paid for t his
silver $908,000,00G.
"The loss on this purchase to-day,
with silver at Sd s, is, say 50 cents
an ounce, or &l45,0O0,000.
"Under the Sherman purchase act
we bought 168,O00000 ounces; paid
Oh an average 9244 cents; the total
cost was $I55, 100000.
"The loss on this purchase TO day is
81 cents an ounce, or, in round nun.
bers, $62, 100000.
"The government has invested for
the sole benefit of a few silver mine
owners $476,000,000, which at the
market price is worth to-day only
"Here Is an experiment made at q
cost to the taxpayers of 100000, 900

The TIMES ia indebted 10 the Secre

tural, Mechanical and Stock ExposI.
ton for handsome pamphlet giving
general prospectus Cf tho Exposi-
tIon, with The rules governing Cxhib
itors an1 exhibitions, a lit Of premi-
ums offered, aud information concern
ing the management Of The fair and
the character Of all lis departments.
The exposition will be the most ex-
tensive and elaborate agricultural ex.
hibit ever held In Mississippi, aud will
attract large numbers OF visitors from
various parts of tho State, and from
the northwest; and will thereby exer-
else an active influence in deciding
such visitors as may be seeking a
home in Mississippi. The emigration
of farming homeseekers from the win.
ter frozen aud summer.scorched re-
giOns of the northwest is yearly IN
creSsing, and these people being a
provldent aud careful class, usually
come south for the purpose of study
lug the advantages Of the different
sections before locating. The Vicks.
burg fair will give them the best pos
siblo opportunity of making a selec-
ton. Every portion OF the State will
be represented there by its choicest
products, and It Ia well understood
that an exhibit at this fair is simply
an advertisement Of resources aud the
claims OF each section to superiority
IS a field for home making and sue
cess in agricultural endeavor.
1t is probable that in the next year
a larger tide of emigration than ever
will set southwark, because the farm
ers of the northwest, by reason Of
their wonderfully successful wheat
crop, will be IN a financial condition
to make the move. Every appeal
from the south for immigrants has
heretofore been met by the reply that
the northwestern farmers would glad
ly come south, but that they did not
possess the means to remove their
families and goods, or that they could
not dispose of their holdings IN the
land Of drouth and billiards. With
wheat at dollar this complaint will
no longer be made. The farms of the
northwest can be readily sold or reut-
cd, and many will take advantage of
the year of prosperity to come TO the
south with their golden harvest.
The section of Mississippi which falls
to profit by the opportunity afford
ed for advertisement is losing its
b est chance, aud the crop raised this
ear in the Delta should enable it 10
end on all exhibit which would be
be wonder Of the fslr-not only as
coming from an overlooked section, !
but from its own intrinsic excellence. :
1t is remarkable that a district which !
as passed through such an experience G
ss ours should be able TO make any
exhibit at all but that we should have
one surprising any other in the State :
would make the Delta famous from t
Omaha to New Orleans L

CURIOUS CLOCKS.
One without Works Was Prominent In
the French Palace.


The timepiece ordered of Boucher by
Due d'Aumale's grandfather for the
prince of Wales, afterward George ". of
England, was recently sold in Paris. 1t
is in the form Of an negrcss' head. mod
eled admirably. Jewels are incrusted
in the bronze around the neck to form
a necklace, in the woolly hair and in the
bust, as q clasp for the handkerchief.
A pair of open-work gold earrings, long
and delicately carved, hang from the
ears. On pulling one of them the hour is
shown on the right eye and the minute
on the left. If the other earring is
drawn a set of musical bells, lodged
where the brain should be, chimes out
the time of day. A clock without works
is distinct novelty, yet one formerly
stood in the splendid Cour de Marble at
Versailles, where IL was installed in tine
reign of Louis XIV. It's hands always
pointed to the exact moment of The
death of the last king of France, ard i.
never moved during his succt ssor''
reign. Thus, as one writer has put it,
il was perpetual reminder to the most
splendid of courts that "the paths of
glory lead hgt TO the grave"

Catarrh Means Danger,

Because il unchecked il may lead direct
" to consumption. Catarrh is caused
by impure blood. This fact is fully
established. Therefore, it is useless to
try to cure catarrh by outward appli-
cation or inhalants. The true way to
cure catarrh is to purify the blood.
Hoods Sarsaparilia, the great blood
purifier, cures catarrh by it power to
drive out all i'm Impurities from the blood i.
Thousands of people testify that they
have been periuctly and permanently
cured of catarrh by Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla.

! quate remedy at law, hence 1t was
eminently proper that this in
junction was granted.
The Judge said the action o1
the new board did not rescind
contract made by the old. That
the designating Of the Evening
Star as the paper in which the de-
linquent tax list was to be pub
lished constituted a contract, or
quasi contract, and one to be
protected. Hence he over-ruled
the demurrer.
How the decision affected the
parties in interest:
The chief of the Ocala newspa-
per syndicate, F. E. Harris, the
most vitaily interested party to
this legal contention, came in
with a subdued air, with not
overly confident expression of
countenance, where hope and fear
were contending for mastery,
but as the judge proceeded in his
opinions which were all against
the syndicate side, Brother Har-
ris' constrained look Of calmness
forsook him and his face assumed
the hue of Bill Aliens corona"
when he gets a good joke on his
brother commissioners and his
richest blood capsules dance a jig
Of glee on his dome Of thought.
Editor Brumby looked dazed
and Attorney Anderson's hand
some visage had a panied and dis
appointed air.
The Judges decision seemed to
hypnotic Chairman Carney, for
his eyes cleared and introspection
was a solace.
County Commissioner Mcleod
was not present, but Ned Will
hanson looked as serene and un-
concerned as the gallberry BUSH
es that border the road through
the Big Sahara.
1t is needless to add that the
Porter crowd were strictly in it
in thought, feeling and congrat-
ulations and it appeared as if the
public was delighted to say:
"Howdy," "You got them,"
"Glad Of it," etc. And so the
story went.

The True Remedy.

w. M. Repine, editor of the
Iisk;lwa, ILL.,, Chief, says: "We
won't keep house without DR..
Kings New Discovery for Con-
sumption, Coughs and Colds.
Experimental with many others,
but never got the true remedy
until we USED DR.. Kings New
Discovery. No other remedy can
take it's place in our home, as in
it we have D certain and sure
cure for coughs, colds, whooping
cough, ETC." 1t is idle to cxperi-
ment with other remedies, even
they are urged on you as just as
good as DR.. Kings New Discov-
cry. They are not as good, be-
cause this remedy has a record of
cures and besides is guaranteed.

INJUNCTION NOTES.
Scenes and Incidents i'm Court Per.
sOnal and Otherwise.


The attendance at court Satur.
day morning was not as large as
it had been Friday, owing to the
impression, which was correct
that the morning session would
be consumed in legal arguments
mostly of technical character.
After the reading of several af.
fidavits, one made by w. X. Nc.
Donald, of the Ocala Banner, who
is the author Of the term "sweet
scented geranium editor" in
which he stated he had been a
printer and connected with news
paper work for seventeen years
with much experience in setting
delinquent tax liSts-that an out
fit necessary to set up such "a list
as was now being contended for
could be easily supplied for $50,
made it very evident to the minds
of those who had contracted and
paid for such an outfit that Nc.
had no doubt chit the type" to
set up such list, but had never
drawn on his exchequer to pay
for one.
AS already intimated, Mr.. Ze-
wadski made the speech Of the
occasion, demonstrating in law
and precedentS that all the old
board of county commissioners
had done was under the law and
was law. Hence legal acts. That
designating the Evening Star was
a contract and Mr.. Porter had
legal rights no court of equity
could disregard, and was the cor
rect procedure on their part and
the court was the only proper place
to appear to ask that these rights
should be respected.
1t was a splendidly conceived
and excellently delivered address,
covering, without superfuity
of words, the salient points
in the case and driving home with
irresista BILE logic the fact that his
side had the law. He knew it
and had the mental ability to i'm
press it on the court and those
who gave him their attention.
Albert Wright followed for Mr..
Porter, and as his part in the
program was to cite legal preced-
ents, to uphold and maintain his
case, it can readily be seen it was
a dry and uninteresting theme to
the general theme to take volume
after volume and case after case
and indicate these decisions to the
court, but it did evince patient
and untiring research that elected
admiration and brought its re-
reward in facts that could not
be lightly put aside or gainsaid
by the opposing counsel.
Great interest centered in the
address of X. l.. Anderson Esq
because of his we'll known legal
ability, his commanding presence,
his magnetic, persuasive convinc-
ing words, the report that had
gone out that he could, and would
"bust" the Porter injunction, be-
sides this being an occasion when
men of reputation and legal fame
added laurel5 to their forensic
crowns and put money in their
pockets.
No particularly new facts We're
developed. The creates, stress
was laid on the argument Of mo
contract. Hence if Porter had
no contract, Sand the old board no
authority to designate a paper,
what claim could he have to the
publishing Of the list.
1t was certainly an ingenious
pleading. He insisted every po-
sition taken by Porter and his
counsel, as well as every allega-
ton made in their bill was wrong
was illogical and illegal, hence
could not stand.
If Porter aud his bill had any
