The Course Of silver.

Silver seems 10 be peculiarly perverse
and unappreciative II does not respond
to the kind enorts Of is friends nor 10 the
dozens Of Influences which would seem 10
favor st. Last week the record Of low
prices for silver was broken. and 1t is
predicted that the end of the decline has
not yet been reached. This IS all very
peculiar when it is considered how many
and what diverse agencies have been, and
are at work trying to help poor silver up
on her feet once more.
First there may be mentioned the efforts
Of the statesmen, in congress and out
VINO have lifted up their voices and cried
out against the wrongs done silver, and
with eloquence, statistics and logic have
Pleaded the white metals cause. Next
there is the olcott-Stevenson-Paine
monetary commission, which is said TO
have done great work for silver in Eu-
rope, receiving gratifying assurances in
Germany, France and England. The eff
forts and the reported successes of this
commission, it seems. should at least have
had the effect OF steady.ng the silver mar
ket for a time. And then there are wheat,
and cotton and corn. each joined TO silver
by an intangible and yet ineiashc and non
severable llgament-a sort Of Siamese
quartette Of the commercial world, as we
have been told Wheat and cotton and
corn have been climbing up the ladder OF
the markets while silver has been going
down. slver's old-time enemy, gold, has
magnanlmously come TO the front, in
South Africa, in Australia, in Peru In
Mexico. in the United States, in Alaska
and in British Columbia, in an effort to
enhance the comparative value of silver
by making itself more plentiful
What is the reason for the continued
downward course of silver, with all Of
these agencies working for its advance
ment? 1t must be that the supply, dimin-
ished as it has been is still greater than
the demand, and that people cannot yet
see in the future the time when silver viii
be in unlimited demand as a standard
money metal at the ratio Of 16 parts OF
silver to part of gold. There is even
talk of the adoption of the gold standard
In Mexico.

Home Enternrises First

There IS nothing which contributes 10
the prosperity of a city more than its
home manufactures, and it is the duty OF
every patriotic citizen to patronize home
mechanics and home merchants unless the
difference in the price asked for their
wares is such as may be considered exor-
bitant. 1t is the duty of public oficers
who have to do with the spending of the
money paid in by taxpayers, in so far a.
they can consistently do so, to spend it
at home among those who contribute to
the support Of the local government; that
is to say, among the mechanics and mer-
chants who have to pay rent wages and
clerk hire. This can very nearly always
be done provided the prices of foreign
goods, with freight added, are not less
than those of the home products ana
wares, or even though the difference in
favor Of the foreign article, in any consid-
cradle quantity. amounts to only few
cents
1t has come TO the knowledge of the
Morning News that this very plain rule
has been violated more than once by the
county commissioners. In one particular
instance Of recent occurrence, In which
the matter of wages paid the workmen
was the principal item of cost In the esti-
mate given for certain iron work. the or
der was sent to neighboring city be-
cause of a difference of 2S cents! That
is to say, the Savannah mans bid was IS
cents more than that OF firm in Macon.
II is easy TO see chat the IS cents might
have been saved I'm the items of letter
writing, postage and drayage. Evidently
drainage and road building. are not the
only matters in which Savannah's inter
ests are not considered. The business
men of Savannah, all things being equal
are entitled to the patronage Of the county
commissioners.
Il may not be out Of place here TO can
attention TO the fact that the county com
missioners are not the only parties who
send work away that. should be done
here, or who make purchases elsewhere
that should be made in Savannah. There
is quite a number of people in this city
who owe all they have to the citizens Of
Savannah, who do the same thing. II is
bad policy on the part Of such unpatriotic
people, but Il cannot be helped with
the county commissioners. however. e ia
a different matter. They have no right
TO send work away that can be done al
home by people whose taxes they spend.

Picnic In a CoIored Church.

There was picnic in one Of the colored
churches Of the town, says the Louisville
Dispatch. The proceeds were to be ap-
piled on the shortage of the pastors sal
airy. II was arranged that every woman
who attended the picnic should take a
WelI-hned basket, covered with heavy pa
per card inside bearing her name. The
baskets were to go to the highest bidder,
and the purchaser was TO eat with the
good sister" that brought the basket
DaIkies, old and young, came crowding
into the church. Uncle Mosby arose. and
as he waved his hand for silence, said:
Dis hyar picnic is fer de benft Nv de
church, de cokin is garenteed, highest
bidder gifts de grub, cash down, mine
yo'.'
An old negro at this point arose and
said that he would cut a white cake with
a ring inside, 10 cents cash down, and the
ring guaranteed.
The first basket brought 20 cents, but
Uncle Mosby gave them to unders tand
that no more would go at that price.
The bidding became better. It was just
here that a new feature was introduced.
Jim Drake, a drunken steamboat rouster,
came in, displaying four or five dollars,
and began to bid. An old sister, by the
name Of Jane Lanem, yelled out He
cdrnt eat wild me-"
Several others made this same state
ment, but Jim held his ground, and said,
MY money is des as good as anybody's
money"
"Yo money is satins money" yelled
Aunt Jane.
Uncle Mosby waved his hand and said.
Dis hyar picnic am gwine ter be run on
principals Nv respec', an bein' yer amt
in no respectubul condishun, Jim, yo' can't
buy no grub"
Use jes' erbout as 'specterbul ez yo'
wuz when yo stole dat sack er meal. yo'
OF lyin' hippercrit."
Uncle Mosby went for him and squasned
q basket over his head. Chicken and pop"
few in every direction, and four or five
joined in the fracas. The women yelled,
and some one turned out the lights. Jim,
the rouster, escaped in the darkness and
took a basket with him as he went, and
when an old negro struck a match Uncle
Mosby and Elder Jenkins were fighting
over in a corner, each thinking that the
other was Jim.
When peace was restored 1t was discov-
cred that seven baskets were missing, and
that the cake with the gold ring was
also gone.

Owl service E,tension.

President Mckinley is receiving congrat-
ulatons from friends OF good government
in both parties for his recent orders ex-
tending the civil service rl.es. The spoils-
men or his party although they are not
saying much t1st set. ora no doubt deeply
disappointed and chagrlncd. They had
expected that the President would. as
Speedily as possible. 1ttacls the classified
service. and, like Gov Black of New York
"kuoaJl down the bars" protecting the pub
lie corn-crib in order that hungry partisan
heelers might rush in and feed at the pub
Dr. expense Instead Of doing this. how
eeyr. he has driven a few nails into weak
places making the cars more secure than
ever before.
The extension Of the classified service to
sixty-five custom houses not embraced in
the orders Of former Presidents was a no
table step in the right direction, but It
was not nearly so important as that feat
ure OF the order which provides protection
for employees who have passed the exami-
nation and secured appointments Hereto
fore il has been possible to have an en-
ploye removed for cause" without ac-
cording the accused any opportunity for
defense. The new order provides that
no removal shall be made. except
for just cause and upon written charges
filed with the head of the department or
other appointing officer, and of which the
accused shall have fun notice and an OPP
portunity to make defense" The order
does not prohibit removals; it strongly dis
courages the preferring Of charges and
the removing of civil service employees
for partisan reasons.
There has been some gossip recently in
Washington and New York of the prob
ability of a reorganization Of the civil ser
vice commission. with Carl Schurz at the
head of the reorganized body. Such re
Organization would be received favorably
by the whole country, with the exception
of spells hunters. Mr. Schurz is one of
1.-THE Original" civil service reformers, and
for years has been a powerful and effec-
tive advocate of the merit system in the
public service. The probabilities. however.
are that his politics would initiate against
his appointment to any Office by President

at present connected with the editorial
staff of the leading mugwump periodical
in the country.
