thankfulness for the saving Providence
which directed the destinIes of the ma
ton last year. In the light of the events
which have followed the November cleo
ton, the defeat of the free silver con-
spiracy seems almost like a special dis
pensation for the maintenance of the
public credit. the preservation of nations
al solvency and the protection of the peO-
pie against threatened chaos and bank
ruptcy.
The commercial value of silver Is
steadily declining. 1t moves under the
law of supply and demand as responsive
ly as the price of wheat, and 1t has at
| last touched SO low point that the bull
lion in a silver dollar is worth only a lit
| tie more than 40 cents. Had the free
coinage movement succeeded last fall,
| the government would today be in the
amazing attitude of accepting the whole
silver supply of the world at the arbitrary
| and artificial price of $1.29 an ounce. In
other words, it would be the helpless
victim of a monopoly created by itself
| and filling it's vaults with bullion at a
price representing more than twice its
value in competitive market. 1t Is
| impossible to exaggerate the loss and ruin
which would inevitably have followed
| the success of that wicked enterprise.
The substantial prosperity now mani
| fest in our great productive Industries
would not have come. The farmer
would have been paid for his splendid
| crops in 40 cent dollars; the evils of cur
/ ieHCy lHlittloH WOuiu nave maze DuSl-
ness operations uncertain and insecure
and the great commercial and Industrial
interests of the country would have been
swept into wild course of demoralixa-
ton, with prostration and bankruptcy at
| the end of it.
But the specter of free silver. with its
grim threat of disorder and dishonor, is
passing away. 1t is vanishing in the
ruddy glow of an honorable prosperity
upon which the nation stands proudly
| facing the world. her honor vindicated,
her credit untarnished, her obligations re-
deemed and every dollar of her cur
| rency worth a hundred cents In gold
The wisdom of her course in throttMng
the desperate combination which sought
to betray her integrity and place her be-
fore mankind as "A defender OF repudia-
ton has been imRressively demonstrated
| by the logic of events. and 1t is supported
| by no stronger proof than the irresistible
decline in the market value of silver bull
| lion. -

A curious deed has been recorded In
New Brunswick. N. J. The deed gives
to Charles Banks the privilege of allow
ing the caves of his new house to en-
crOach on the property of Mrs. Sarah Ed.
wards to the extent of four inches, and
binds the heirs of Mrs. Edwards for the
same encroachment. The consideration
named is $40.
1t is strange fact that. while the teeth
of the negro on the old plantations were
remarkable for their whiteness. those of
the freed negro of the present day are IN
an indefinitely worse condition than those
of his white brother. This is owing en-
tirely to the change of diet and the
cOlored mans weakness for sweetmeats. Z

varieties of the ficus family, and a hith-

Not a third of all the vast wealth
which Americans took out of California
in the twenty years after 1849 remains in
America, and not more than 10 per cent
of it, with what 1t bought counted In can
be located now upon its native soil. What
is left In coinage probably bears more
British mint stamps than any other.

The drum has been banished from
the British I army as stimulant to
yaior ifiSbattle. and nov the flag is to
follow it. under the plea that the use
of it in battle exposes the flag bearer
to too much danger. The German SOL
diers already go into battle under bare
poles. The bullet pierced and cam
paign tattered banners will no longer
be source of pride to the British regi-
ments, which have inscribed on them
the names of the victories which have
been gained under them. War is be-
coming more and more matter OF
science, and less of sentiment. Yet
this sentiment, the stirring appeal %
the drum, with its ran tan TAM" ana
of the flag stimulating the soldiers 20
follow it into the thick of the fight, has
it's value, for which it will be difficult
to find a substitute. ss ,hSss'
