Our Silver at SANTIAGO.

After Santiago had fal!en,--or rather,
after it had risen,--and business was
resumed under American rule, it WIS
found that the tradesmen were shy OF
American silver, and would take it only
at half value. General Shafter re-
quested that the paymaster bring only
gold and paper for the troops, as the
traders looked upon all silver alike,
whether it bore the American. Mexi-
can, Spanish or South American stamp
and would take it only at its bullion
value Here is a little lesson for our
fiat friends in the free silver camp,
but probably like all the lessons of the
past and present it will he lost on
them.
The Santiago people can hardly be
blamed for their refusal to regard our
silver dollar as worth 100 cents. They
are not accustomed to using that kind
silver dollars commonly used by them
are worth on their face az much as those
coined by our government but they
pass for only their bullion value which
is less than half of their face value.
In this country our silver dollar is
worth 100 cents, not because of the
stamp on it's face and not because its
bullion value is more than that Of
the other dollars mentioned. but be-
cause the honor of our government is
behind it, backing it up with 100 cents
worth of gold.
AS matters stand in Cuba and in
Spain the financial conditions afford Il
fairly good object lesson as to the pur-
chasing value of silver coin when that
coin has not behind it a reliable and
recognized gold reserve which, directly
the holder of such coin. In Cuba and
in Spain silver dollar today is, in fact,
a 50-cent dollar, in retail trade. AS
soon as the Spanish and Cuban mer-
chants recognize that the United States
government and a great treasury re-
serve stand behind American silver
dollars, those coins will be accepted at
their face value, even while Spanish
pesetas may still he good for only 50
per cent. of their nominal value.
Does the free silver shouter see the
point, or does he fondly dream that
Cuba will be a fertile field for the
propagation Of Populsm?

A STORY OF BEER.
An Assault Starts Trouble and for ON

10 begin this story lets go back to the
beginning. Ward Meeks was arrested
for running disorderly house in Deer

arrested he wanted to get out of business.
and he sold out to an Italian named
constantine Luzerdie and a German
named Theodore Hoffman.
These gentlemen came from Camden
ana they had notions that they could run
bottling establishment without getting
IN trouble, and at the same time entertain
big crowd of fellows who take to beer
naturally.
AS soon as the Italiar-German combi-
nation got together they were visited by
the gang, and the gang wanted to drink
Monday afternoon there was a big
school ON, and among the party was
Benjamin Kennedy. This latter young
man has reputation of engaging in a
night without provocatiop, and last night
Holman, the German, appeared before
the Mayor and had a warrant issued for
hennedy charging him with assault and
battery. At that time Hoffman did not
know the names of the others of the gang
and he had to wait until this
morning before he could make complaint
against them for being drunk.
The Mayor was kept pretty busy for
some time making out warrants for the
unfortunates
Kennedy was arrested Monday and
locked up. To say the young man was
mad was putting it mildly. He promptly
had the Mayor take complaint against
the italian and German, charging them
with keeping a disorderly house.
Shortly before midnight, they were ar
rested and locked up in Jail.
Tuesday policemen Betchner and
Smith We're busy serving the warrants
on the drunks. When Mayor Appellate
arrived at bis office, he found eight of
the gang huddIed up in the little lookup
breathing in germs of malaria and
typhoid.
When the Mayor opened up his desk
for business he ordered the crowd brought
in. They lined up as follows: William
Fowler, Joseph Flagg. Rufus Watkins,
Winfield Fowler, Harry Whitaker. John
Rodman, Matthias Slagel and William
Stiles.
Each one solemnly declared they were
not drunk Monday afternoon, and de-
ned anybody to prove it. The Mayor
was somewhat surprised, but he prom pity
pulled himself together and sent the gang
back to the lookup to wait until Tuesday
afternoon. when he could get the wit
nesses together.
1t was sorry lot that fled back.

oysters in market. The weather is too
hot to market them. Many of the boats
that started on the first day of September
have withdrawn and tied up to the
wharves awaiting cooler weather. Other
boats have not ventured out at all.
The atmosphere is so hot that when the
oyster is caught it has to be put down in
the hold to keep it from spoiling If
thrown on deck in the hot rays of the sun
it spoils in a very short time and the
planter is the loser. The oysters are in
pretty good condition and the planter
does not want to lose any of them. They
are bringing good prices and the season
promises to be a good one when once
thoroughly established.

Judge Hoagland Digs Hard at the Dis

Thought 1t Funny.

Court was not in session a great while
Tuesday, but Judge Hoagland manaoe5
to do some effective work.
The disorderly house case was soon
wound up. The evidence was conclusive
that the officers made no mistake with
the Saturday night raid The four men
were all adjudged guilty by Judge
Hoagland, when he had heard the story
on both sides. The defense was verv
weak. All of the prisoners acknow-
Iedged they had sold the beer Illegally.
but none OF them were willing to ac-
knowledge that they were responsible
for the house.
Then came the sentences, judge
Hoagland was determined that he would
make examples of disorderly bouse
cases. Albert Lilly, the worse of the
bunch, he gave one year in State Prison.
His brother, Nelson Lilly, was let down
with three months in the county Jail.
Daniel Irons, one of the partners, and
Fred Slagel, another OF the partners,
were given six months in the county
jail.
Clarence Wright, charged with abusing
animals, was sentenced to six months in
Jail.
Ruth Thompson pleaded guilty to OBJ
structing al officer in the discharge of
his duty, and was sentenced to thirty
days in Jail to begin from the date of her
first commitment.
Samuel Collins and James Smith. two
young boys, were asked how they came
to steal grapes. One of them said, "Why,
l just took couple of punches, and the
other boys took bunch.'
Why" said Judge Hoagland, "Zan
pleaded guilty this morning to stealing a
bushel."
The boys began to laugh and said "Why
when Mr.. Logue said bushel, thought
he was poking fun at u.s."
The Judge suspended sentence.
Tony Babulus, the Polander. who
pleaded guilty 10 various burglaries
among the farmers, was sentenced to five
years in State Prison at hard labor.
There will be another session of Court
next week. and some more criminal busi-
ness will be reeled off. Prosecutor Logue
intends to get as much business out Of
the way as possible before the October
term comes on.

DEADLOCK IN THE GLASS TRADE.
Bottle Blowers and ufacturers Will
Make no Concessions.

lNDI ANAPoLIs, Ind, Sept. 2.-The con-
ference between the Wage Committee of
the Union Glass Blowers of the United
States and Canada, and the Wage Com
mittee of the Flint Bottle Makers, which
has been trying to agree so that the fac
tories might start the first week in
September at the usual time, came to an
abrupt ending yesterday by the firm
declaration of the bottle makers that they
would grant no increase in wages what
ever and that they would enforce a lock-
out unless the men return to work at the
present wages. They also announced
that they will not treat with the men
again unless the committee comes author
lied to act for the Union and to accept the
present scale.
The committee of eleven had a subse-
quent meeting, and decided under no cir
cumstances to accept the present scale for
another year, and in order to give en-
ployment to the out-of work Union men
several bottle factories will be started by
the men. Thus the second conference to
secure settlement of the wage scale for
the coming year has proved Intellectual.
