Evidences of the return of prosperi-
ty which means so much to farmers,
are many. The gold reserve is greater
than it has been for six years. More
national bank notes are in circulation
than for eight years The amount OF
money in circulation is 81 ,675 ,G94 1888,
an increase of sl46 ,952 1916 in twelve
months. There is more money in cir
culati III than ever before. The per
capita circulation is now S23.l4; June
lst of 1896 it was S21.1O. These are
cheering facts. The money has been
brought out of finding places. 1t would
do us little good if there were $50 per
capita in old stockings and safety vaults
Confidence is the word to conjure with.

The Westminster Gazette SAYS til

The Westminster Gazette says the
silver market in London is very de-
pressed, adding that the main reason
for the downward movement is the
fear that Japan, as the result Of her
adoption of the gold standard, will be
free seller, and that the price will be
still further reduced. Continuing the
Westminster Gazette remarks:
"As regards the immediate future
much depends upon the action OF
the American holders. who have lately
been offering the white metal freely
The feeling at the moment is that the
fall is rather overdone. and the low
price will undoubtedly induce cont
mental buying.

No. 2344 Equity.
HNHE OBJECT of this suit is to obtain a
l. decree to remove cloud from the
title of complainant to and 64-10Oths
acres of land in Spaldings District, this
county, purchased by him from the de-
PENDANT John ID. Broadus and wife and to
declare certain deeds from John d.
Broadus and Pleasant Broadus and others
for said property 2ull and void.
The bill in substance states that COM
plainant purchased of John d. Broadus
and wife said property for the sum of $50
on September 2lst, 1895, received deed
for the same, executed by Broadus and
wife, and delivered to him, and that under
said deed he Immediately took possession
of said property, claiming it as his own.
That he delivered said deed for Record to
the Clerk December oath, 1895, and dis
covered that John ID. Broadus in the mean
time in fraud of compliments rights on
December 23rd, 1898, while complainant
was in possession, executed a deed Of said
property to Pleasant Broadus, the father
of said John, for the pretended sum of
500 which deed was placed on record
December 23rd, 1895. That Pleasant
Broadus and wife. September 23rd, 1896,
conveyed said property to Thomas NJ
Hawkins for the pretended sum of $780,
that said deed is not only Il fraud on conf
plainant, but is totally defective in law.
The bill charges that the deeds from John
d. Broadus to Pleasant Ioadus, and from
the latter and wife to Hawkins were made
to defraud complainant; that not only is
the consideration fcigned, but Pleasant
Broadus and Thomas Hawkins each knew
of compliments right and possession, and
81. ,l.,, 1,,yh Ii,
try into possession under hi, deed, is en-
titled to all the right, title and estate of
John D. Broadus and wife at the time of
his purchase, but that the deeds from John
d. Broadus to Pleasant Broadus and from
the latter and wife to Hawkins casts a
cloud on his title which he is entitled to
have removed by a decree of this Court,
declaring null and void above recited
deeds, for which he prays, and for general
relief That Pleasant Broadus and wife
and Thomas NJ. Hawkins and wife are nom
residents of this State.
1t is thereupon this 9th day of Feb
ruary, 1897, adjudgcd and ordered that
complainant by causing copy of this or
der to be inserted in some newspaper pub
lished in Prince Georges county once in
each of four successive weeks before the
Bird day of April, 1897, give notice to said
absent defendants of the object and sub
stance of this bill and warn them to ap-
pear in this Court in person or by solicitor
on or before the 18th day of April ne xt, to
answer the premises and show cause, if
any they have, why a decree ought not to
pass as prayed

AS result of the operation Of the
blockade of the Cretan ports by the
combined fleets of the powers, the
Greek squadron left Cretan waters
Wednesday. 1t is the general belief
at Athens that nothing can now pre-
vent war and that the government has
its plan of campaign fully prepared.
The opinion prevails that the blockade
of the Island of Crete by the fleets of
the powers will drive the Greeks to
desperate acts on the frontiers of Mac
edonia and Epirus, from whence the
news of conflict is hourly expected

Thousand of Christian Endeavor work

have valid claim to seat, but before it
could be established the Florida legsa-
ture will probably have elected a Senator:
consequently it is not probable that the at
tempt will be made,
All e the nice things said about Mckin-
lcv's accessibility to callers during his
first few DAVIS in the White House, were
rather too premature. He has since adop-
te rules which, excepting that they do not
shut everybody out one day in every week,
are practically the same as those made by
Mr. Cleveland, and it is now just as hard
for private individual to get an inter
view with Mr. Mckinley as it was with
Mr. Cleveland.
If the new tariff bill is what its trainers
call conservative me ,snre, it would be
decidedly interesting to know what they
would call radical. Although the country
denounced and drove from power the re-
publican party because of the high duties
imposed by the Mckinley tariff law, the
average rates of duty to be imposed by
the new tariff bill have been made higher
than the Mckinley bill. And about the
heaviest taxation carried by the new bill
is that imposed upon such necessities as
sugar and clothing. There may not be
such plain sailing ahead of this measure
as Mr.. Mckinley and his personal wor-
shippers expect. 1t will, of course, be rail-
roaded through the House all right, but
that it will be materially amended before
it gets through the Senate is very probable.
Two of the numerous candidates for AS
sistant Secretary of the Navy, both of
whom served in the Navy and are strong
ly backed, have presumably been thrown
down by the exposure of ugly blots in
their naval record. They were both court
martialed: one was sentenced to dismissal
and the other suspended from the service
for time. They both afterwards patched
up matters in some way and were allowed
to resign.
