Nothing from the store was saved. The DesChamps brothers usually carried about a $2,500 stock i and their stock was quite full when the fire occurred. The building be longed to 3Mrs. M. C.

The origin of t he fre is believed to have b-een !e!endi ry from the fact that th 'se arriving a the ,. place tirs discovered a door which had the appearanCe of having been broken open. If it was an incendiary te, Iobbery was the object. This is the secoend lire at Silver recently. A short time ago a comparatively new - dwelling house belonging to Mrs. Briggs was burned, and some time prior to that a platform scale belong ing to MIr. T. B Owens was set on fire and destroyed.

The town is I blessed with sevetal lively boys who have at various times earned substan tial compensation by the disttibution in the town of free samples of various t wares bestowed for advertising pur- i noses. A commercial traveler.repre-I senting a large clothing house and carrying an extensive assortment of excess baggage made his first visit there Tuesday night and next morn ing encountered two of the bright1 young sample dispensers look-ing for a job. A bargain was struck and he1 gave the boys a large number of pairs of trousers, in structing them to carry1 those samples to stores where he in tended to visit. The boys slightlyj misunderstood instructions. They gathered up all the pairs of breeches they could carry and proceeded to distribute them zealously andl con scientiouisly, one pair to each family. The P'iedmiont peoiple thought some new kind of millennium or sp.ecial variation of Leo had arrivetd. Attract ed to their doors by knocks, they were astonished and delighted by having trousers of the latest designs and bcst materials handed to them. The boys were impartial. They distributed the articles as they camne. A plaid loud enough to cause deafness might be left with a Baptist ergyman and tihe soberest black might be bestowed upon the fanciest of the mle~i popuila t ton, a fat, short mnan might receive a pair intended for. T he long andl lean and a citizen of 1:2> pounds might -be the astonished recipient of at waist band of thirtyv-six inches, but it all went. No discritination was made against widows. For each family tnere wvas a pair of trous rs regardless of age, sex, shape or conditions. Tuere were some hits and some mis fits. One citizen who happened to be Sat hotme tried on is pair immediately, found them exactly right andl itmme diately sallied out in triumph, narrat ing his "0ood fortune to all wvho would lisen andt urging his fellow citizens to . proceed forth with to secure "samp~les" for themselves. e The unconscious drummner found himself a centre of interest and Pied . mont wa-s unanimous in its astonlish Sment an-.1 admiirat ion over thle latest development of advertising enterp~rise. It was universally conceded to be the softest snap the town had ever known. The pants dlispensers returned to their i employer and with the proud coin n seiousness of dluty' well and laithfully "performed announced that they had e distributed about $:20) worth of "pns" among the lhapply homies of Piedmont, that the dlemandl was act-. lyie and the l'eople were pleased and >that they were readyv to carry out d some more ordiers an'i raimient. it i took some timhe for the visitor to get hrough his hetad 1thle (ealamlit y that ha er.,ld nm When he unde. stool tbat his breeches had been la ishly distributed among the inhal tants and were even then perambula iug the highways on strange and u renumerative legs he had symptor of concussion of the brain and his r marks are said to have sounded like chapter of the lamentations of t) prophet Jeremiah grafted upon gra stone selections from the impree tory psalms of David.

It is Time for Business The fact that there was not a quc -um of Democrats present at th pening of Congress after th )bristmas holidays was. far fror reditable to the party. It was bay ough to have sudh a recess brea; nto so important a session at it rery beginning, but it is ver nuch worse to have mein ers delaying their return so a o have'members delaying their re urn so as to prevent the carrying o f public business when the holiday re at an end. This is no time for de y. The people want action, an a hey want prompt and intelligent ant atriotic action along the lines map ed out in the Marty platform. The people want to see the tariff re rm bill passed without unnecessar: elay. The debate has been elabor te and exhaustive'all over the countr; r the past four years. The debat Congress will not charge the publi ind. They are ready to try the ex ~eriment of tariff reform. If it is ilure it can be rectified after a fai ial has been had ; but the people ar ady to accept the~ responsibity for ir trial of the policy, and the soone is inaugurated and the policy of th ountry is settled the better it wil e for everybody. It is not the fear o rif reform that is paralyzing busi iess, but it is uncertainty as to th tent to wnish it will go. . The busi ess men of this country can adjus eir business to any settled condi ons; but nobody wants to invest il n enterprise to-day the outlook fo 'hieh mazy be entirely changed in w months. it is not so much wha ~ongress will do as that it shall pro eedl promplltly to do something. Tb ecple are eager to get asettledpolicy hauncey Depew is quoted as saying "As soon as it is decided in 189 ~-hat-vill be the policy of the Govern ent on the tariff there will be an imf riediate and universal resumption C usiness. especially if the countryi ot:ompelled to- adjust its busines > radical changes in the tariff. "The enormous accumulation of ut oployed capital will seek some ave ue for investment and return, an< hat will give corresponding employ ent. Renewed business will furnisi ereasing trafic to the rai-lroads, bot) iassenger and freight, and will imi rove their earnings. "The year 1894 will certainly be al normous improvement on 1893, be 'ause this country can not be key tanding still nor the paC of its prc ~ress long diminished." We endorse all that is said by M' )epew, buit go a step fum ther and de lare that these things will comet lass, even if there are radical char es in -the tariff. The people are cont itted to the experiment and ar eady to try it. Of course it is nature hat an indlustry which is now''enjlo: g high protection will antagoniz y effort to lower It, but after iti owered you will see it going rigl ,ead at the old stand with renewe ~nergy, and we trust with increase )roserity.
