We are tgld a great many stories these daySjfbut few that "have fewer of the elements1 of truth in them than this scare-cr6w fraud. We were told a few weeks ago that there might be some danger of this earth colliding with the bobtail comet that was pirut- ing around in .space without any ap parent business to attend to or desti nation. M. might have collided; the chances were one in millions thatJt might, but it didn't, and that comet is now waltzing around Up there somewhere, arid the earth is running along ioJLhe same old way as if there Aid never been a comet or a comet storyteller. ,But '. there Was really 4ust much . foundation for that come. )scare among tne creanious and timorous as. for this gold fake story which the gold standard fel lows have invented to fool innocent people. It doesn't ; even bear marks pf probability enough .to rank as a 'respectable fraud. . - ' ' t In the first place the free coinage of silver would not put us 'on a silver basis any more than we are now. It .wouldn't stop gold from circulating because gqld is riot in circulation now, and it -wouida't drive gold out of the country because the free coin age(of silver at a ratio of 1G to 1 oj any other ratio would hot affect the valbe of g'old as .long ras there was a . demand for it. Ifother nations re- monetized silver and paid their obli gations in silver then the value of gold would fall for 'it would cease to be a metal of speculation, and would simply perform its legitimate functions- money,"-as the remonetized silver would do. A double standard does not, necessarily mean that one or the other jhetal would leave the country, although one or Jthe other might disappear , from the1 channels of trade, because tor circulating pur poses the more abundant of the metals is the ojne that will bs most used. There is more silver in circu lation now than there is of gold be cause i the ordinary business trans actions are carried on with silver and paper, the one, fur nishing the subsidiary ; coin ' to meet the demands of the retail trade, and the other being more convenient where the ' transactions are larger. As at as driving gold out of circula tion goes there is not the slightest danger of that, for it is not now in circulation and is rarely seen outside pi the banks. It is kept simply as a coin for speculation, although Tt is counted in our volume of rhoney as " if it were in actual evry-day circula tion. ( .: -i-.-.

If our silver dollars buy what we need, pay debts," pay for labor and pay, for the raw materials that supply pur manu factories, where is the necessity for European gold ' We have a larger population than any European coun and are pronounced try save Russia, richer thah any of them. Why then should we be dependent upon them to lend ! us : money when are richer than they? Why do we we seek to borrow money from them ? Simply because they( have money to lend and are anxious to lend it. j If we should . cease borrowing they would be just as anxious to lend as we have been to borrow. We have been one of their best customers 'and they would stand the free coinage of silver . several times before they would give us up as customers: The fact is we' do not need theirjgold. The gold men over there need us a great deal more than we need them. With our great national wealth, sup plemented by the free coinage of sil ver, we would have all the currency 'we needed tQ sustain established en terprises and in establishing new ones; and not j depending' on borrowing money abroad, we would go, right along with our development and new enterprises and in a little While; we would have foreign I money lenders: begging us to take their money j in stead of us begging them to lend to us. ; - " :: In the IiOr-around of Borrow. - The Confusion news from " Raleigh printed in' the Star vesterday 'eaused a feeline of Siberian intensity in Repub lican circles and penetrated to the very marrow ot fop -Kepiicaa bones, our versatile neighbor-in-law Gee Z ?e, kom- monly killed Geewhillikins Zsbediah (in French) is in sackcloth and ashes, and he roostetb in the "low-grounds of sorrow." i MaryanD, surnatned Butler, was thi adopted child and of the Republican has been spoiled until controllable, law waxeth party, as such caressed, L petted, and i r i she has; now become; un At this our neighbor-in- wroth, and be is even re- ported to; gone over iave said: I "Oh!

April 14 Except in Oregon TMissouri and Colorado the Democracy of the country. has not held any State conventions. But enough is known to warrant a thoroughly de veloped fright among the Administra tion Democrats regarding the magni tude of the silver representation at Chi cago in July. Whenever Eastern candi dates for the nomination, like Mr. Car lisle. ': Mr. Cleveland, Mr, Hill or Mr. Whitney have been mentioned, ie-faas been taken for granted : that nobodv tainted with the so-called "silver heresy" could be named. The event at Monticello yesterday was unimportant in itself, but it showed an irreconcilable divergence of opinion in the party. Senator Daniels, in his re joinder to the gold currency declarations of Black and Russell, showed that he, in tended to put the Old Dominion on record as a silver State. It is. therefore, idle for the Administration Democrats .o play the ostrich in politics any longer and to hide their heads ' in the sand storm of free silver coinage thatjs sweep ing toward Chicago. STRENGTH OF SILVER. Oregon and Missouri, two States that have been counted upon to remain steadfast for the administration cur rency policy, have absolutely broken away. - The State Convention in Ore gon indorsed the free coinage of silver at a ratio of 16 to 1 without any equiv ocation, i : ;?r : Tennessee" manifests indications of being solidly for the white metal. This is indicated by the elections in Repre sentative Patterson's district. He is a firm believer in the gold standard. De spite all bis efforts, pronounced sentU ments were expressed in the District Convention, and theTesultsof the pri. mary elections are without exception against him. Michigan will be for silver, except the few delegates that Don Dickinson will be able to control. These are variously estimated at from four to eleven. Senator Palmer, hard money man as he is, admits that Illinois is likely to de clare for the free coinage of silver. He says that the organization is in the bands of the silver men, led by Altgeld and Hinrichsen, and they understand the manipulation of primaries very much better than any champion of the yellow metal. ! v . i Iowa will certainly be lor free silver. Ex-Governor Boies is the idol of the party in the State, and is the most likely candidate for a free silver convention to nominate: If it shall be found that the free coinage influence is paramount at Chicago, all the Eastern candidates may fold their tents and return home. Kansas, Indiana and Nebraska will in each case send a majority of silver men in their delegations. Many contests are foreshadowed, but if the "unit rule" that theVCleveland people invoked four years ago be maintained, these delegates wilj be voted solidly lor a silver pianx in the platform. ;f . ! The Chicago convention win oe com posed of 917 delegates, 89 i of whom will be from the States. The complexion of the delegates! fromtbe Territories, twenty-six in number, cannot be accu rately guessed at, though it is safe to say that they will be silver men. It is ob vious, therefore, that counting only the delegates from the States 446 already secured for silver, the silver men will be a arte able to dictate a platform, The aouotiui aiaies are: ueorgia, o; Kentucky, 26;; ( Virginia, 24, and Wash ington, 8, showing that only 84 votes are seriously in question. The figures are eye-openers to the hard-money Democrats of , the East. While the two-thirds rule, which has be come a firmly fixed principle in all Dem ocratic National assemblages . since the Baltimore Convention, may prevent the nomination of an out-and-out silver man.it makes the silver men the abso lute masters of the situation, because they will control the committees on ere' dentials and platforms. The platforms, are adopted under the majority rule, and it will be possible to force a plank into that olatf orm i upon w hich no Hastern Democrat could stand. The insertion of snch a olank would, for example, elimi nate Whitney,; Cleveland , Carlisle, Hill, Olney, Russell and Flower from the con test. Therefore the fears of the Admin istration Democrats are very wel. grounded. j ' ' j THE ADMINISTRATION PLAN. All the power and prestige of the Cleveland Administration will be em' ployed to hold the Chicago convention in line on the financial question. Demo cratic State conventions assembled to elect deleeatcs to Chicago will be con fronted with the political necessity of in dorsing the Administration. This is a point of vantage that the Administration counts on using to the utmost degree. On the eve of an election contest it will be urged that no Democratic candidate can affdrd to withhold approval of the OF Congressman Powers the Judge Powers, who to-day represents Vermont in congress, entered the na tional house with a magnificent record as lawyer and Judge of the supreme court of Vermont. He - is a fine type of the careful, learned, New England lawyer. Though but 66 years ot age, be way a member of the Vermont ' legislature a third of a century ago.' and again in 1874, when he waslpsaker of the house. He has been State censor, a member of the constitutional convention and Of the State senate. In 1874 he became judge of the supreme court of Vermoni and remained on the bench until 1890, when be took his seat in congress. Judge 'owers presided at many of tfaefmost noted trials In the history of the State, and is the author of many of the most important opinions to be found in Ver mont reports. No judge on the supreme bench in any ot our States has a reputation for more clearly and unmistakably express ing his opinions. His ucqalified In dorsement of Paine's celery compound in the following letter is as straightfor- course of President Cleveland? Resolu tions to that effect will be proposed in all the State conventions, and the active friends of the Administration will plead for compromise and conservative action where they find the silver Democrats in control. I If tree coinage Democrats insist upon ascerting their financial theories In de fiance of the Administration, and to the extent of refusing indorsement of the only Democratic President since the war, then the sound-money delegates will mike that ah excuse for bolting, on the ground that the convention is , not loyal to the party and its principles. The opponents of silver in each State will then organize a convention and select contesting delegates to the. National Convention. - ; SUPERIOR COURT. The jury in the case of R. F. H lmes, charged with assault and battery with a deadly weapon on Mr. K. r. H imme, after being -locked up all night, were called into Court yesterday morning about 10 o'clock. Their foreman, Mr. Solomon, told the Judge that they were unable to agree and he did not think that they could ever agree upon la ver dict in the case.

The iuryit is said, finally stood eight for conviction and fqor for acquit tal, the latter consisting of E. A.lOrrell (white), and the three colored furors. Very few people wno Knew tne "com plexion" of the ury expected anything but a mistrial.

The Epart on Aooonnt of reunited Becetpta ct Common Bosln and en XTnlooked dr Demand From Saropean IXanufaQtarera What Botin la Cht fly TJsed For mi id How It is Ob'alned. The following, frcm the Savannah News, is reproduced for the benefit Of the large number of naval stores, pro ducers and dealers who are subscribers to the Star: There is quite a boom in the market for common grade rosins. Never in the history of the trade have prices of ill grades ranged so closely together. While the pale grades, which heretofore have sold from (3 to l are selling now at about $3 a barrel, the common or dark grades have reached $1.65 a barrel. The average price of the three lowest grades during tbe past fifteen years has ranged" between 75 cents and $1.85. The spurt is accounted for by the lim ited amount of receipts of 'common' rosins, and a special demand' for tbem from European 'manufacturers. The new crop is just beginning to come in and, as usual, the product from newly cut trees yields the pale grades of rosin, after the spirits is distilled from the crude turpentine. ; As the trees ; are worked from year to year the product is darker in color. - , ' The new forests having been worked during the first five years has brought to market a ! surplus supply of the finer grades ot . rosin, and tbe demand : has not been sufficient to sustain the prices at which it sold during past years. I In consequence of the limited rupply of the common grades, the demand has increased and prices have . gradually ad vanced, until the common and finer rosins have come closer together. The medium grades have about held their own. the supply and demand being equal. . I Many people wonder what becomes (of so much rosin. Out of 1,000,000 barrels shipped from Savannah during the last year, nearly two-thirds went to Europe, the balance being used in this country. Even in this section there are many people who have no idea what rosin really is and to what uses it is put. Rosin is the residue, after distillatibn of the volatile oil from the turpentine of the pine trees. It is rather an inci dental product of the preparation of the oil, or spirits of turpentine, amounts to onlv 10 to 25 Der cent, of the turpentine. The rosin while still liquid is drawn off into metallic receivers coated witn whitincr to ore vent adhesion. From these it is transferred to the barrels for shipment.- When the distillation is stopped at the proper point the product is the yellow rosin, which contains a littler water: or this may De expeuea and the product is then transparent. By continuation of the heat the residue in 1 the stills is made brown or black. Rosin is employed for a number of useful purposes. It is an ingredient of varnishes.

As 1 devoted a part of my time in col lecting for. newspapers, I learned some thing abouf, that tine of business. I am glad, to say that all the best classes -pay very, promptly for their literature, but there is , a class who seem to think that they are under no obligation whatever to pay for their reading matter. It is really disgusting to hear the flimsy excuses and to see how some people will tqu rm and twist when the bill for their paper is pre sented. 1 find some neighborhoods much worse about this than others they seem to bunch together as the old adage is, "Birds of a feather flock to gether." r , It seems to me that this class of beings should be reported to every editor in the United States, 'so that they would either have to pay for their paper.8 or quit reading them, unless they borrowed from their . neighbors.- as many do. - I notice another feature of this -class of beingrThey continue to take a paper : until the publisher - begin; to press them for settlement; then they prcucQu mat toe paper is wortniess, or der it discontinued, and fubscribe for another pipsr, which in course of time they treat in like manner.
