two.
The bride has resided at Baldwin for a number of years, where for her many’ lovely traits of character and personal attraction she was a great favorite. The groom hails from Indiana, yet has lived in the South sufficiently long to desire to become a permanent resident. Hisheadquarters are at Baldwin, and he will remain there in the future. Yerterday the lady who is now’ Mrs. Hirt started on a visit to Okalona, Miss. Mr. Hirt had business on the same train. Tupelo was his destination, but instead of the pair proceeding according to the programme they deemed it wise to come to Memphis. Soto Memphis they came, and ! at high noon to-day, in the parlors I of the Peabody, there was a wedding. ] To’day or in a day or two Mr. and Mrs. Hirt will return to their future home. In the meanwhile the Peabody is entertaining as handsome a a couple as ever wrote a signature on the register.
The St. Louis Globe Democrat gives the following in regard to the observance of Biship Bowman’s 79th birthday anniversary, on Wednesday,
July 16:
A pleasant reception was tendered to Bishop Thomas Bowman, D. D., LL. D., last night, at the residence of his son, Theodore G. Bow man, No. •1386 Lindell boulevard. Bishop Bowman is one of the best known of the clergy of the Methodist Episcopal church in this country, and his long life of usetulness and activity in and about St. Louis has won for him a host of friends. The reception, therefore, was rather a spontaneous movement on the part of both the local clergy and laity of the Methodist churches who desired to congratulate him on the seventy-ninth anniversary of his birth. Notw’ithstanding his nearly’ four score years, and the fact that he was declared “non-effective” at the late general conference, the Bishop is in the enjoyment of good health, and displays much vigor in his movements. He intends to leave this morning for Philadelphia and w’ill spend part of the heated term at Martha’s Vineyard. He expects to return to St. Louis in September, but on the w’ay back will stop at various points to visit friends and attend camp meetings. The congratulatory’ exercises began yesteday aftenoon, when a number of the German Methodist ministers gathered at the residence of Mr. T. M. Bowman, another son with whom the Bishop makes his home, No. 4535 Cook avenue. Several of the ministers of the English speaking churches also called upon him during the afternoon. After extending congratulations informally the party dispersed, although many of them attended the reception later in the evening. The assemblage in the evening numbered about 150 people. A set of resolutions congrtulatory to the venerable Bishop and extending to him the good wishes of the company while on his journey W’ere framed by the ministers presents and adopted. A few’ short addresses were made, to which the Bishop replied cheerfully. Obituary.

Kngli.sli money, wliiuh is nothin*: hut the gold standard, if fully developed in the United States, meanEnglish prices forlahor and for goods. N on cannot escape it. Do you want it ? Is it wise to work for it? Have we not paid pretty dear already in the terrible decline in prices, in tltc patties that are hardly past and in the tearful burdens of debts, municipal, state, national and industrial that we are bearing ? Talk of an international currency, sueh a thing never was. is not now. and never will be so long as nationregulate their own mints and make their own money. Say- Walter Bagehot, “within a country the action of a government can settle the quantity and therefore the value of tis currency, but outside of its own country no government can slo so. Bullion ithe caslt of international trade, paper currencies are ot no use there, and coins pass only a- they contain more or k-s- bullion.” Gold is only a commodity as between nations. It is never stable, it varies in prices when compared with other products, precisely as any other commodity, and is regulated by supply and demand. Of course its great demand is for monetary use. if we should take away this use it- value would go down more than 00 percent. it is the increased monetary burden that is put upon gold that haeuhanced its value, or. in common language, which lias made prices so low. and there is no fair prospect of an incrca-e in prices until there is an increase in the volume of money of final redemption. The small increase in gold from the mines is nowhere equal to the decrease in the money of final redemption occasioned by the demonetization of silver, hence there is little hope for an increase in prices until silver is restored to its legitimate place side by side with gold in the monetary world.

ites. Distinguished plutocrats, who ive alway- been distinguished for eir powerful plundering proclivities, vc repudiated the deinocratic partv d announced their intention of vot.r f >r McKinley and Hobart, ahttneing that their loyalty to the ling masses is such as to make it pos-ihlc for them to support larehy” and “anarchism.” luastcir as these patriots have brought ward the issue and by their words nounred at least one-half of the tierican people as anarchists, would not be just to all concerned to u-c tor a inonicnt that we may iu:>rc: "Whoare the anarchists?” Ac-ording to Webster's dictionary mvhisin i- “the state of society here there is no law or supreme >wer, or where tin* laws are not licient, and individuals do what ey plea-e with impunity.” An an'chist is, then, one who advocate-
tch a system.
In contradiction to tlii- form of no iverntnent. wc have the goveruent of the United States, in which (ere is a supremo power—the people who in turn delegate this power to eir elected representatives, who are 'orii to see that the supreme power enforced; that is. the will of the "pie of the United State-.

And so we might continue. In ief, tite situation is simply this: re people have determined that the tie ha- arived for a return to tire jnplicity, the honesty and the upglitness of the early republic, at the same time keeping step to the music of progre— in thing- political and economic. Believeing that bimetallism i- a step in this direction, believeing tliat the selection of a pure, henest, fearless president is in harmony with such a purpose, they itave brought forth a declaration of principles and nominated a clean, upright statesman, and though wealth, power, and infiriencemay lie exerted against this great uprising of oppressed humanity, they will continue the great battle for the incorporation of ju-tiee and righteousness into the economic and industrial life of the nation. Is not tlie cry of “anarchy” and "anarchi-ts” indicative of our opponent-' arguments? Is it not an lii--torie fact that epithets have been the chibs by which a privileged few have beaten the masses into subjection ? The ignorant and stupid epithet, “abolitionist,” did not answer tire fearles- oceusations of Garrison,. Phillips or Garret Smith, neither will the cowardly epithet “anarchist" an--wer one accusation or one argument which is now being hurled in defiance of epithets and sent crashing through tire dogmatisms of ancient stipcr-tition. Epithets are the clubs of cowards, or of those who have no intellectual answer, and are too di--honest to acknowledge it. Epithets never lifted one human being from poverty to plenty, from slavery to freedom. He who sullies his manhood by repeating the parrot cry of "anarchist" brings upon himself the mingled contempt and pity of honest, fcarle-s. liberty-loving men. He who repeats tills cry, that had its origin amid the merciless ma-tcr-of Mammon, proclaims that lie liim--elf -ecks to bring tire worst of anarchy upon the race by arousing tire prejudice and pas-ions of men, making inipo-sible the appeals to reason, rendering impotent the appeals to the inherent sense of right. God be merciful to these sychophantie slave who dare not lilt their voice- in behalf of “the needy who cry and those who have no helper.
