quietly had the matter Investigated
by trusted friends and upon their
reports to him and not as the result
of any agreement was the metropoll-
tan police force removed from Char
lesion. As matter Of fact, if any
man or set of men went to Charles
ton and proposed a compact by which
the force was to be removed, it was
unauthorized by Governor Ellerbe.In
our opinion those editors who are
constantly nagging at the Governor
would be doing much better if they
would credit him with honesty OF
purpose, or let him alone, unless they
can prove what they say. We have
no doubt that Governor Evans put
the metropolitan police on Charles
ton for political reasons, but not
withstanding this the system won
many friends who urged the Cover
ernor to let it remain, and the friends
we speak of are made up OF
some of Charleston's best cit
izenship: We. therefore, think
il would be we'll for these
grumbling editors to investigate the
causes which kept the force on Char
lesion before they have so much to
saw about the Governor.

silver--would gold depreciate and
silver become more valuable. Yet
the monometallist orators and eal-
tors, the parasraphers and the head
line enthusiasts go ahead upon their
insensate and vociferous way as
though reason had vanished from the
earth and the people had nothing
left save slobber, gush, and poppy
cock.
It seems to US the most logical re-
suit imaginable that silver, bereft OF
its money attribute, should depre-
ciatc in the market. Like gold, ii
has bat a limited adaptability to the
uses of mankind. It cannot be ap-
piled to any practical purpose 1t is
not susceptible Of conversion into
implements Of husbandry, into ma
chiner,y into tools, etc 1t is only
fit for ornament Or for coinage into
money. Robbed by legislation OF
its latter quality, its range Of useful
ness is sadly narrowed. We do not
ask the monometallist shriekers what
would become of gold under like
circumstances. It would be cruel.
They do not know.-Washington
Post.
