 IT is quite interesting to note tue drift of tree silver argument. Men who for any length of time adhere to that doctrine invariably find themselves in fall accord with the old .sGreenbacl" idea of fiat money. They say that when the government owes bill. 1t should not borrow money to pay 1t, but take some paper and stamp out more money, enough to pay the blll. To snch persons its useless to say to them that governments are like individuals and must de- pend upon their esources for sup port and when they have paper outstanding that they cannot re- deem, their days in the financial world are numbered. The ex- tremity to which the free silver idea has now reached is greenback- ism pure and simple, and like that doctrine under whatever name agitated cannot survive more than couple of presidential cam paigns ata time,

Stahl to be ExOnerated.

visited Ft. Smith and investigated the charges recently preferred against U. s. Marshal Stahl, and while no official report of the find- ings has been given to the public, it is gently intimated that Stahl will be fully exonerated. We expected nothing less. It is hard matter to touch man of Stahps pull and financial influence, even though his crook edness be ever so apparent. The inspectors report may bevery sweeping in it's vim dication of Stahl, but the people will be slow to believe that there has been no wrongs committed. L. The charges against Stahl a, @ sup ported by affidavits, of five of his employees. They are men who m he claimed when he selected them as honest, competent and wort hy. They all stand we'll at thelr homes, some of them exceptionally well. Those who sent affidavits to Wash ington may be summed as follows:
 J. R. Stotts is ayoung man from Madison county, and bears most excellent name among those who have known him from childhood. Stahl thought he was both schol- ar and a gentleman when he was working night and day tor the in- dorsement of Madison county Re- publicans for Stahl for the marshall ship. Stotts IS alone responsible for StahPs success in Madison coun- ty.
 ". T. Hoblitzell is from Polk county. He is an old G. A. R. man, was Lieut-Colonel under Gen. McCook. He has held vari- ous positions of honor and trust since the war, and it remained for Stahl to discover him to be anything but q gentleman of the highest or der.
 l.. R. Hawkins is from Franklin. H. is also a veteran of the civil war, and against whom nothing can be said, save he thought Stahl was not doing the square thing by the government.
 The other two are George o. Neal and Wilson Broyles of this county. The regulations of these men are such that no one believes they are guilty of purjury.
 The names of Broyles and Flaw kins have never been made public in connection with this affair before, but we have it on good authorty they are the other two men who have had the moral cour- age to expose tho manner in which the affairs have been conducted about the jail. They are still OF the marshaPs force, but if this be true, their official heads will doubt less be promptly dispatched as soon as the official report of the investi- gation is had.
 The trouble between Stahl and these men has doubtless been inten- sified by his treatment of them. Stahl is very profoundly impressed with his own personal greatness, and when his attaches fail to likewise regard him and be ready at all times to ad- minister to his private affairs, and whims, they at once become Gin. competent" "dishonest," etc
 In his campaign for the marshal ship, Stahl secured large percent of his inducements by promises of positions, many of which he has never attempted to redeem. Oth- CTS he has put off with any old thing with promise of a promotion that has never came. Therein also yssz<,oSsxs.so>EGsa1zGso o>nsca,eS>zoccaSees es Se

those who saw them at the station yester-
day will remember them as deserving OF
the gratitude of their countrymen for OF
a truth they have suffered. 1t was half
past nine when the long expected train
rolled into the station. Tt was made up
of seven Pullman cars sleepers and TWO
baggage cars. 1t carried 1870 passengers,
some SO ill that they took little notice OF
their surroundings, others able to move
about with assistance and still others,
the convalescents, ready and willing TO
assinst the less fortunate. A hush fell on
the bystanders as they saw these men
leave the cars. elbow sick they look, -
was the remark heard on every hand and
vet they appeared better yesterday than
they had for days. The. .bracing air Of the
northern states and the thought of HON
were doing what the doctors at Camp
Thomas could not do. AS the train came
to standstilI, Adjutant General Rich
ards, State Pension Agent Milliken an
others were on hand to take charge Of the
work of,transferring the worst cases of
illness to the hospitals and rendering
what aid they could to the Others The
ambulance corps went right to work and
soon the silent crowd saw form after form
brought from the cars, laid on the stretch
ers and placed in the ambu lanoes which
were driven in on the station platform.
The convalescents, glad of the chance
to stretch their limbs after their long
Journey in the cars, scattered through the
station and were soon surrounded by
curious and sympathetic groups. Every
body asked questions of the soldiers How
was this mani Did the train bring such
an one? In answering these inquiries
and the eager questions for information
about the condition of affairs at Chtcka-
mauga the boys were kept busy until they
boarded the trains on which they went to
their homes in various parts of the state.

ENGLAND Blu YING COAL.

Norfolk, Va, August 10. There has
been shipped from Norfolk in British
bottoms, seventeen cargoes of Pocahontas
steam coal. aggregating 70, 123 tons.
These have gone to eleven different coal
ing stations belonging to England, and
it has been believed that England was
stocking such stations in event of possible
war. Today it leaked out that this view
is undoubtedly correct as the Pocahontas
Coal company is asserted by one OF Its
employees to have practically admitted
that an unlimited contract from the
British government for coaling her
stations all over the world has been
secured, and the work has just fairly
commenced.

CUTTING DOWN EXPENSES.
Government Il Retrenchipg in Nearly All
Branches.

Washington, August 9.-Retrenchment
in nearly all branches of the army is fol.
lowing close upon the cessation Of hostili-
ties. Notably is this the case in the ord
nance, quartermaster and engineer
bureaus, where the need for supplies re-.
quired and the men employed for the
exigenoies Of war no longer exist. In
the ordnance bureau the force at the vari-
Gus arsenals Is to be reduced In all cases
where this can be accomplished without
detriment to the service. The Rock ISL
and arsenal probably will be effected
more than any other. There before the
war, about 240 men were employed.
When the peace protocol was signed there
were about 1000 men engaged and orders
have been issued which will reduce this
number by two.thirds. Before and during
the war large numbers OF contracts were
made with ordnance firms for supplying
material. In many cases these were made
conditional SO that they could be termi-
mated within few days after the cessa.
ton of hostilities and the department has
in every case availed itself of this privi-
lege.
Contracts are in existence for furnish
ing sea coast prOjectiles, but the gov
ernment is desirous of obtaining all con ,
tracted for.
The quartermaster's department is dis
pensing as rapidly as possible with trans
ports for which there Is now no necessity.
Considerable labor is involved in this
work as q board of survey has to be ap-
pointed to determine the various inci-
dental questions that arise pending the
return of the vessels to their owners.
In the engineer department. electric
ians, mechanics and farmers engaged in
the work of harbor and river mine de
fense and Of boatlnen employed TO patrol
the adjacent waters to warn approach
ing craft of their danger are being dis
charged as rapidly as is consistent with
the good Of the service.
