A Diving Craze.

The failure of ext Congressman Bland
OF Missouri to command an audience
Of more than one person in Savannah
is significant of the dying out of the
free silver craze in the South.
Mr.. Bland has been for many years
the most persistent and prominent
champion in Congress of free and in.
dependent coinage of silver at a ratio
OF 10 to /. He was the father of the
BLAND dollar" which the people re-
fused to use, but permitted to accumu-
late by the hundreds of IONS in the
treasury vaults. He belonged to the
school of statesmen who disdained to
consider the world g standard of value
and asked, "What is abroad to us?''
He asserted the omnipotence of Con-
gress in the matter of money making,
and insisted upon giving 100 cents of
value to 90 cents worth of silver by q
fiat of that body.
Last year the voters of Missouri con.
Guided that they had had enough of
MIR. Bland and his vagary, and they
left him at home. Now he takes to tue
