Silver Abroad.
England stopped the free coin¬
age of silver in 1816. Germany fol¬
lowed in 1S71 and 1873. Then
came Norway, Sweden, Denmark
ana the United States, between
1872 and 1875. Holland followed in
187s* The Latin union fell into
line in 1S78. Russia suspended sil¬
ver coinage in 1876 and Austria in
1879. The dominance of the gold
standard idea was regarded as per¬
manent in all Europe as any finan¬
cial policy could be.
But within the last year and a
half there has arisen in each of the
European countries mentioned a
strong faction demanding the re¬
habilitation of silver. Even in Eng¬
land men of high position in fi¬
nance declare that the attitude of
Great Britain as to silver is finan¬
cially untenable. It is to be noted
that each of these countries has a
large amount of silver in circula¬
tion. Great Britain has $112,000,
000. Germany has $315,000,000.
Norway, Sweden and Denmark
have $12,000,000. Holland lias
$56,000,000. France has *500,000,
000. Russia has $41,000,000. All
this silver has declined in commer¬
cial value, which is for the interest
of none of them.
It is suggestive that the out¬
spoken demands abroad for the re¬
storation of free-silver coinage
were not audible until about the
time that the congress of the
United States repealed the silver
purchasing clause of the Sherman
law’. There is little doubt that the
monthly purchase of silver by oar
government steadied the price of
silver somewhat the world over
and had its effect on the silver cur
»ncy of England, Germany and
France. The gold countries were
quite willing that the United States
should alone carry the silver bur¬
den for the world, and those enor¬
mous gave them hope
that this country would establish
free-silver coinage. No sooner does
it lay down the burden than every
gold country in Europe becomes all
at once impressed with the impor¬
tance of restoring silver to its over¬
turned throne. It is not pleasing
to Great Britian nor to the Latin
union to see.its silver currency de¬
cline to the commercial value of
that metal, and if the United States
will say to the nations of Europe
it does not propose to be the
werld’s packborae to place and
keep its silver at a parity with gold,

very attractive to the gold-standard

For Congress.
In commenting on The Times’s
nomination of Col. Robertson for
congress a week or so ago, The
Dahlonega Nugget of last week
says:
“We agree with the Times that
Col. Robertson is eminently the
man to represent this district in
congress, and while we have no
personal acquaintance with him
we know Col. Robertson to be all
that the Times says he is.
“It is high time that our district
was calling business men to the
front instead of small calibered,
wire-working politicians.
“In the person of Col. Robertson
all classes of our fellow-citizens
will have a true business represen¬
tative, and should he consent to
become a candidate he will find the
yeomanry of the district, the solid
substantial citizens, the tillers of
the soil, the business interests, the
“hewers of wood and drawers of
water,” the miners and shop work¬
ers, all practically u unit for
him.
“Give us such men as Robertson
for congress, and then our district
will take rank as in former days,
when men like Howell Cobb and
Ben Hill went up to Washington
as representatives of these rock
ribbed mountains.
“Col. Robertson is “tall timber”
and if he puts himself in the way
of the lightning, it is pre*ty apt to
strike in his direction. And while
the little political jugglers would
probably fight against his nomina¬
tion, they will prove unequal to
the task of defeating a popular de¬
mand for his nomination and tri¬
umphant election should be enter
the arena”
If Spain means to pay her milita¬
ry expenses in the Cuban revolu¬
tion by heaping more taxes upon
the Cubans 6he might as well begin
to lay plans for putting down an¬
other revolution.
The Times claims to have the
finest country printing office
in the state.
Blind Tiger Caught.
The blind tigers about Toccoa
are not so blind but that they are
beginning to see and realize that
their existence in this place is like¬
ly at any moment to come to a sud¬
den and previous end.
Mayor Matheson is hot on their
trail and this week more blind ti¬
ger game was bagged, as a result
of hi6 vigilance.
W. E. Acree and his clerk, Joe
Culpepper were arrested and
brought before the mayor Monday
last, charge^, with the illegal sale
of liquor. Culpepper plead guilty
and was fined $25 and costs,ten dol¬
lars of which was remitted. On
behalf of defendant Acree’t trial
was postponed until Wednesday,
when he received a fine of fioo
and costs or thirty days bn the
streets.
Jie appealed the case to the coun¬
cil, who will heai the
night. 7.,'

A very pretty home marriage
occurred at 5130 on Wednesday
afternoon at the residence of Mrs.
M. A. Greene, corner of Currahee
and Franklin Streets. The con
tracting parties were Miss Nellie
Greene, of this city, and Mr.L. E.
Johnson, of Atlanta. The cere¬
mony was preformed by Rev. H.
C. Fennel,assisted by Rev. L. A.
Simpson. The beautiful bride wore
a stylish travelling suit of tan cloth
trimmed with brown velvet and
silk, and gloves and hat to match.
She carried a large bouquet of
Marechal Niel and Bride roses.
The bridesmaids were Misses Wil¬
lie Ramsay and Marion Craig, and
the groomsmen Messrs. Lee Gilmer
and E. R. Davis. Only the inti¬
mate friends were present. The g
received were beautiful and
ble.
The bride is a young lady much
admired in Toccoa, and the groom
is a popular conductor on the
Southern. They left on ^ the
7 o’clock train for a tour of one
week, after which they will return
to Toccoa and a reception will be
given them at the home of the
bride’s mother.
***
On Monday evening there was
an impromptu dance at the pleasant
and hospitable home of Mrs.
George W. Edwards, the music be¬
ing furnished by an excellent ItaW
ian band consisting of an asolian
harp and two violijis.
The ladies present were Misses
Turnbull, Ida Hayes, Lida and
Willie Ramsay, Mattie Harris,
Blonde Capps, Mamie Burton,
Lula and Jean Wheeler, Birdie
Mai Jones, Carice Mcjunkin and
Lula and Etta J ennings.
The gentlemen were Messrs.
John Mosely, Bob Mulkey, Ben.
Mosely, Bob Davis, Lee Gillmore,
John Hooks, Mat Torrence, JinT
Cooper, John and Jim Suttles, and
Drs. Jeff Davis and D. M. Snelson.
***
The Woman’* Literary Club had
a delightful meeting with Mrs. W.
M. Kilgo last Saturday afternoon.
There was an unusually full atten¬
dance-all members being present
except one. Two acts—the 2nd
and 3rd—of the most popular of
Shakespeare’s tragedies—Hamlet—
were read critically, and discussed.
The conclusion reached as to
whether Hamlet’s mother was cog¬
nizant of or took Snv part in the
murder of Hamlet’s father, was
that she was innocent there and
that she could be bikmed only for
her hasty marriage with him who
was the murderer, thereby show
ing her disloyalty to her first bus
band. Delicious refreshments
.served “between the sets” by the
charming hostess. f*
The next regular meeting of the
Schaeffer. In the interim a meeting
will be held at Mrs. West's, to
finish reading the play of Hamlet.
‘ *%
The assembly, which will give
1
the previously mentioned concert
next weelt, have organized them
selves into The Mendelssohn Club,*
for the sake of the convenience of
a name. The program which this
or g an ; za ti on will present next
Thursday evening,the 2nd of May,
,
hasn °t been completed, but the
numbers decided upon are given
below:
Gipsy Life—Chorus, R. Schumann
Annie Laurie-^-Female Quartette. .D. Buck
A Society Study—From Point Lace
and Diamonds........... ... Baker
Across the Still Lagoon—Duet.
Overture to Zampa.
Flower Called Joy—Duet..... . Andre
Watching .----------- ............. Millard
Master and Pupil—Comic Duet.....llewlt
Midnight Fire Alarm Will Thomson
Tableaux.
There will be one hundred re¬
served seats, but the general ad¬
mission will be 25 cents.
***
We hope very much to have the
auditorium completed by the end
of May so that the commencement
exercises of the public school may
be held in it. The experience last
year in Matheson’s hall, which
though nice and comfortable
enough without an extraordinarily
large crowd, was a lesson to teach
the Toccoa people the importance
of just such a place for school ex¬
ercises and summer meetings of ev¬
ery kind,as the auditorium will be.
