There is no change to report in the matter of the striking machinists of the Louisville and Nash villo shops, who went out last Tuesday week.

The funeral will take plice from Asbury Chapel this evening.

A Lesson in Folltics. The most important teachinc of our re cent struggle is that all those who yielded uieir ueuer impulses to a neresy wlncn appeared to be supported by a popular movement will never cease to deplore their weakness, while those who apparently risked their political lives in (irmly resisting it throughout came out of the contest with the pride of true manhood and the laurel of victory. Had the weaker brethren acted like them, the country might have been spared its bitter trials. We have learned once more that the people are neither fools nor knaves, that they will act wisely and justly if the lieht is properly held up before them, and that he is not only the best patriot, but aUo the shrewdest politician, who always appeals to the good sense of the popular mind and to the honest impulses of the popular heart. Harper's Weekly.

The President, the Cabinet, the Congressmen, who have courageously opposed the heresy of fret and unlimited coinage of silver, will be sustained by the country aud their constituents. Indeed, public opinion is with them now, and the defeat of the selfish interests embodied in the free coinage idea, is assured. The proposition for the free and unlimited coinage of silver, will not stand discussion any better than did the sub-Treasury scheme. Both of them are Ocala and Populist dogmas, which unfortunately get support from a few misguided Democrats. The has a communication this morning, signed "One who heard the bray," in reply to the communication signed by B.

Catchings cannot injure him without injuring our city and in fact every material interest of the citizens of the the Third Congressional District. Vicksburg neeis the Yazoo river in front of her doors; and the entire District needs levee building and river improvement. It also needs a sound and stable currency. Catchings can accomplish more for us than any new man we could send to Congress. Senator Mills in Favor of Uncondi tional Repeal.

Washington, Sept. 13. The Repeal bill will continue to be the absorbing topic of interest before Congress. Although he haa not fixed definitely upon the date of delivery of his speech, Mr. Mills, of Texas, will take part in the debate.

It is the current report that he will advocate unconditional repeal, and, as the Senator comes from a strong silver State, and must thereby antagonize a number of his constituents, his utterances will doubtless be listened to with great interest. ASON'S FRUIT JARS, 1 and 2 quarts LEE RICHARDSON Si as every other dollar according to the National Democratic platform. If the advocates of free silver coinage at a ratio of 16 to 1 should succeed in their selfish scheme, this country could not have bimetalism. Only one metal could then circulate, and that would be silver. Monometalism would then have full sway, with depreciated silver as the standard of values.

Bimetalism prevails in this country now, and it will continue to prevail. The Government has on hand several hundred million dollars in silver coin and bullion all, in fact, that it can keep on a parity with gold. Gold is the standard of values in this country, as well as in all the other great nations. Silver is the standard in Mexico, and in some of the South American States. Some of the free Bilver advocates do not appear to know exactly what they want.

They started out with the demand for free and unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio of 1G to 1. And when the fact penetrated their hard heads, that the enactment of their demand would inevitably result in monometalism with silver as the only standard of vtlues, they began to claim that they are "bimetalists" and in favorof a safe ratio. Cleveland and Catchings are truer bimetalists than any free silver bimetal-ist who ever uttered a demagogue speech. Thoughtful people will readly understand that it is impossible to have free and unlimited coinage of silver and bimetalism at the same time. The United States now has as heavy a load of silver as it can carry and maintain on a parity with gold.

When the Sherman silver purchase law is repealed by the Democratic majority in Congress (as it certainly will be at the present special session) then the law-makers can go forward on the lines laid down by Cleveland, Carlisle and Catchings, and reconstruct our currency system, placing it on a sound and soiid basis. The free silver bimetalists, if such a term describes a number of demagogues and weak-kneed politicans, will then find that silver will be used as a money metal to the full extent that the Government can keep it on a par with gold, but gold will continue to be the standard of values as it has always been in this country. Friends of the Public Welfare. The last issue of Harper's Weekly contains a gallery of portraits, representing twelve members of the National House of Representatives who have been most active and efficient in opposing the Populist scheme for free and unlimited coinage of silver. The Representatives are from New York, Maryland, Indiana, Mississippi, Michigan, Ohio, Massachusetts, and Florida.

It will thus be seen that the Eastern States, the Middle States, the Western States, and the Southern States are represented in this gallery of distinguished statesmen, whom the the Weekly styles "Friends of the public welfare in the House of Representatives." The following is a list of the Repre sentatives thus honored and complimented by the great "journal of Hons. W. Bourke Cockran, John DeVVitt Warner, Joseph C. Hendrix, and Charles Tracey, from New York; ex-Speaker Thomas B. Reed, from Maine; Hon.

A Minister to Bolivia AppointedJ Washington, Sept.

Rather Funny.

Our slate contemporaries differ as to who represented Mississippi in the recent monetary contest, Catchings or the other si. New Albany Gazette. Unhesitatingly the News says General Catchings. We have noticed some very funny things in regard to this Sherman law. Papers which roast General Catchings for voting for its rcpenl are in the same breath calling on the Senate to do the same thing.

From the way a few journals in this State talk one would think that Mississippi was ft howling free silver State, when, in fact, the sentiment is about evenly divided. It is not so much that the people want gold, but they want sound money. The News is an advocate of sound money, but thinks that gold is better than silver. Free silver is a myth and a delusion. It will not he free to the people until they exchange some product or labor for it.

We want money with which we can pay our debts; money which will not depreciate. What difference to the people of the South is it whether that money is made of gold or silver. We have no mines which would be benefited by the use of one metal or the other? What we waut is sound money for our cotton British gold, if you please, and that is all there is in it. Jackson News. The country having grown tired waiting tor the Senate to restore confidence by repealing the Sherman silver law, is itself restoring it by resuming business in a very lively fashion.

That money is easier and the situation much improved is demonstrated by the fact that banks which suspended are again opening their doors; factories in all parts of the country have commenced work, and in this city and neighboring cities in the South the banks have abolished the $50 limit on checks, and are now paying depositors the money needed. This shows that confidence is all right so far as New Orleans is concerned. N. 0. States.
