I PICKINGS PASSING wVWlAY. The qoertlno of municipal govern ment In just vow dlsunbtog mote at tention than at any time ta the history of the country. In the newspapers and In fact in all classes of {periodical llt- orattlro too problem hi tiding dbcuaaed. Among the moot InterosP-ng papers on this subject Is one contributed by Dr. J. R.

There 1s mo bank or manu factory or commercial house or univer sity that has so groat need of brains nt the head of Its affairs, because the (WtaarnraeUt of the city Is in some vital aoiiwo the admintiatruitlun of them all.

David Is not that sort of Democrat. The cotton crop, says J. Rice Smith. - the Augusta Herald. Is the gold crop of the world. His travels over the state lead him to announce that there Is a growing sentiment In favor of sound money. Barnesvtlle Gazette: We believe that tho .agitation of the unlimited coinage of silver In doing more to retard -the irogress of -prosperity than all the other nflucnces combined, and the agitator* Will suffer as much from tt a* any other doles.

At the recent term of the superior court there was not a »Ingle cane on tho criminal dooket. We doubt if there Is another county In the state that can make a similar showing. ThamnSvUle Tlmcs-Enterprlse: The Augusta Chronicle has been looking over toe political field and here are Its conclusion*: ‘‘Many politicians are now perched upon the fence debating whether to tackle the silver lining to the financial cloud or to risk their dhances on the field of the cloth of goVl." -Auugurta Chronicle: The next Re publican congress could not do anything bettor calculated to -win the respect of the whole country, north and south, than to enact strenuous legtelattnn look ing to the purging of the Dcnslon ltat.

To the Editor of toe Telegraph: The hlBtory of aU -times has demonstrated the fact that a sober second thought always settles down on the facta, ana nearer the right than cunclua.oi-a reached during passion and excitement.

Our" system of government disfran chises a man to oases of trials by Jury, when We and liberty to Involved, who h-ast formed or expressed an optocon as to toe guilt or innocence of the accused. We must first hear the evidence, get the facts, a-nd then make our verdict. How ma ny rttlaen-s of tola country un derstand its financial system?

When the-tide goes down you will hear voices, ‘Hvihena «m I at?” from every direction, play-tog for po- siftSon In deep oharanels. Why, one of the biggest silver advocates in the country—sorttWed by the OonsrHtutt'rti— has hoisted rails for the 'Eastward, go to-? to Europe. Another of -their roos- tere sat on toe fence crowing for light for two .weeks, and tut the crack of day alighted on stiver.

He is honest, 1 guess, but Just <us bidly mistaken as he wus to his college days, when the boys in a literary society, of which he was a. member, passed a resolution to assess each member 50 cents for the purpose of huylngi a oh-aradel'cr for their meeting hall. When arose, addressed the president, and declared: "While ho would pay his asoesmaemt, he would venture to say. that .when they flat ft, not a man In too crowd could play on- tt.” He Just didn't understand toe thing—that's all. He wHl bo toe same Way about stiver. He don’t uoderataad toe totae—that’s all. The boy w.-th a- podket-fall of neck- els thinks himself much richer than the follow with only ai few pieces of gold, but he’s Just counting trig c-hlckrem be fore they haitcih, The th-tag of quantity won’t oourit—wp must have qualWy—we a,te quality folks. You have heard nlbout the feMoW -who wanted to break h a young oxen. He made his yoke a-n|d bow; fixed up hta wncon-sll ready for buritoeiw. But toe thought struck hi-m th an hta oxen- had never been bro ken—tout Is to ray. trained for work. He was afraid to bitch them up to Ms new wagon, So he wr,eluded tha-t he would try them one at a time—-be tat- tog toe place of one, Adjusting hts yV-ke and bow to t he neck of his young ox, ho then took his pool Horn, place I the other bow around h-ls ownrrieck and Ir-t-o the yoke, and gave the word, “go- lonig.” The young ox proceeded, but when- he discovered toe wagon, he grew wild—-ran a-t full -tilt. His owner, who was phyitg hta mate, could not con- trol him—and awuy they merit at a. ra-pM gait. Seo'mg Ms predicament, and dnulMltty to control the young fel low, he shouted to the villagers for help -bred us! Head us! he cried. Hoad us, somebody, or we will kill our fool selves. Ho Just didn't understand the thing—that's all. ■If you should ever go c’possom hun-t- l ut? and your dog trees a® o'poraom up oi great b'g tree—blow your horn and flo ahead, for toot 'possom won’t be as big «s your fist.

"When on being discovered by some of the faculty, they *11 fled be- for his coming, save the gentleman In question, -whose looamotSon, Incident to too nature of their fun- prevented hts activity. Perching himself up ogalhst one of the laxgo oaks, he awaited toe professor's oomlng. and saluted him with with the remark, ‘The wicked fle-eth when no man, pursueth, but tho righteous stand bold Hko a l!on." -Now, boys, stand -firm, hold your places among tnnn—don't geft frightened because "Coin” gets mad.

R’e should lie satrafital ssben our secretary of the treasury declares before aa Amwlran •udleocD or 3,000 without a dissenting voice: "The great majority of our people render service for wages in ora- f,-rm or dzudM-r and they ace compelled to purchase Jo toe markets everything they cat. drarik or wear, and tn most cases they ace compelled to pay root for the ine of a home for themselves | and their families. Like dm farmers. they ha ve no Ktlvwr bullion to carty to the m-lota to be coined alt the pubic expense; they hare n-o-ifavng to dispose of hut -their labor omd their Skill, and es a. floaaral rule all, or substantially all, the wages they receive must be used 1» securing commodities for the' lersotbl use of' thenasrtves and those epondqnt upon- them. They cannot eat, drink or wear the money pild to them for theft- labor, nod it tt valuable to them only because they can exchange It for the necessaries and comforts ot )-fe; and there never was a- time In tbo history of -the world whew the work ingman’s dollar would buy as much of the necessaries and comforts of Ufa ns •Will buy now, and there never was time to the history of the world when- the working mnm received moro rood dollare for the same amount of labor than he necettes now tn thl* coun try. Any policy which reduces the value of this dollar or the day tt ta earned or on the day it te expended, by dtaatatab-og Its purchasing power in the marloats, bias precisely the same ef fect upon the holder as ff the amount paid for hte labor wore reduced. If, therefore, -the favorite, argument of the advocates of free coinage— that tho free coinage of sliver at th-e nartto cf 18 to would double the prices -of all prod ucts—te correct, -the wages of the labor ing roam-.would purehaso under that sys tem only one-half what they no-w pur chase. This would undobtedly be the rase unless wages should also be doub led, wbloh, according to tho uniform experience of the past. Is « most Im probable thing. For more tha.n a- quar ter of s. century the -working people of the United Sta-tra h-ave struggled earnestly and pens'stoutly, through their labor organizations and otherwse, to inarease their wages to a- point which would enable them to live decently and comfortably by expending their cann ings for commodities nt tholr present prices, and how long -do you think they would hare to straggle to the future to raise their wwgos -to a point which would enable them to ‘purchase the sa me articles when their prikvs have been doubled? No man to thts audience will live to see such a- result accomplished, and the laboring man who supports tho free coinage of depredated silver dol lars must be eonitent to live and sup port hte (family upo-o wha,t depreciated silver dollars Wll buy. My position upon this subject te that when' t-he la borer receives a- dollar on account of his wages ho has a- right to bo assured tha t tt will purchase os wuoh In the market aa any other ma-afs dollar, -or if he desires to lay tit up for use to a. ttoie of need, he has a right to bo assured thia-t tt -will be worth as much, when: he wa-rits to spend tt as ft was worth on the day he ewm-ed It.” .
