AGAINST SILVER
Comptroller Eckcla Addreesee tb Dnslneee
Meu of Detroit
Deteoit Mich May 8— Upward of
250 leading business men of Detroit
with their guests of the evening en-
joyed the banquet given at tho Ilotel
Cadillac last night in celebration of the
completion and dedication of tho new
Detroit chamber of commerce Tho
principal address of the evening was
made by Comptroller of tho Currency
Eckels in response to the toast "Cur-
rency” Mr Eckels considered tho
currency question the most important
now before tho people The comptrol-
ler took strong ground against the sil-
ver movement now agitating tho peo-
ple and said:
“I believe we have come to a point
in this discussion of our monetary sys-
tem and agitation for a complete
change in our standard of value when
this mass of opinion should not only
be aroused but should make itself an
active force in putting an end to the
currency vagaries of which the free
silver movement as to-day presented is
the culmination If commercial and
industrial revival is to continue
recurring loss to every citizen
to be prevented national and in-
dividual financial credit and integrity
maintained and ultimate disaster avert-
ed there must be no longer a spirit of
hesitation in those who know the bane-
ful effects of the thing proposed There
can be no political ends to be served
no party considerations to be advanced
of sufficient import to warrant any
man in long debating ns to the position
he should take when the financial hon-
or of our country is at stake and the
prosperity of a groat peoplo threat
ened”
The comptroller continuing hia re-
marks further said:
"The contention which is now made
by the single silver standard adherents
reduced to its last analysis is silver
liatism pure and simple It differs in
degree only and not in principle from
the contention of twenty years ago of
the advocate of the unlimited issue of
irredeemable greenbacks and from
that of the issuer of the fiat currency
of the period of the continental con-
gress and the era of colonialism It is
the theory of the socialist and populist
applied to monetary science It is
based upon the belief in what has been
aptly termed ‘the all powerfulness’ of
the state and is in utter disregard
of that great fact in financial his-
tory that mediums of exchange and
standards of value did not find
their origin in law but were born of
the needs of trade and commerce Tho
end always sought by commerce the
great arbiter of every monetary system
since the dawn of civilization has been
to have in every metallic money such
intrinsic value as makes the unstamped
coin of the same value as a commodity
of merchandise as the stumped It has
with equal rigor insisted that in bank
currency there shall be immediate re-
demption upon presentation in sound
metallic currency”

CHAPTER IL — Continued
But it is different when the an-
nouncement is made that a newly cre-
ated officer will soon knock for admis-
sion into tho garrison family lie will
come as a stranger to all Those offi-
cers who themselves in turn stepped
from the door of the academy at West
Taint into the field of active Service ns
the expected newcomer is about to do
are well aware of the mild form of
torture which awaits them They
know that Mr Graduate will burst
upon their vision clad in natty attire
which the purifying breezes have not
yet had time to purge of the odor of
the tailor shop lie will not have been
in the garrison a day ere his trunks
will have been emptied of their con-
tents and the love trophies - they con-
tain exhibited to the seemingly patient
group who sit meekly listening to the
pretty young man as he boasts of his
conquests in the rosy field of love
They will smile serenely as his velvety
tongue purls on and tho time-dimmed
canvas of their own memory bright-
ens and presents for their edification
the day when they too came gliding
into the service arena in the same state
of innocent Insanity They will not
toll him so in words but will mentally
say to him:
"A sad case a very sad case my dear
boy but you will get over it Just
little campaigning a Uttlo of the hard-
ship Incident to border military life
will wear the academy glitter from
yon and you will develop in time into
a man of more sturdy mold whose as-
pirations will crave something more
substantial than the melody of a soft-
ly sung love ditty or the giggling smile
of a simpering schoolgirl Those
withered bouquets bearing the distin-
guishing names of Rose aud Blunghe
and Agnos and Katie and other fair
uniform worshipers now 60 precious to
yon will soon find lodgment In the
coal scuttle those daintily perfumed
notes will go upward In the smoke of
the grate the ott-kissed photos will lie
neglected in your trunk in tho store-
room and the memory of tho dear but-
terflies who cared little for you but
who loved to flutter uronnd your gray
uniform and hurl glances of defiance at
pouting rivals will be bnt as a hazy
dream which you will not in yonr ma-
turer sense care for memory toproduce
in too strong coloring You will not
be so fastidious in dressing for the sad-
dle and the field as you were in dress-
ing for the ballroom or to keep an ap-
pointment with the latest ‘plump
quail’ who had fallen a victim to your
military air and brass buttons Enjoy
your trophies while you may my boy
for stern duty will soon bid you shake
off the aspect of the beau nnd don the
more earnest air of the soldier”
Lieut Vandever came and was at
once located in bachelor quarters and
listed for duty Ccpt and Mrs Colby
os the oldest in point of residence
nt the post announced a reception in
honor of the new officer and on the
evening designated the parlor of the
Colby quarters was well filled with
officers and Ladies Lieut Vandever
was introduced to all nnd was cordial-
ly welcomed into the society of the
garrison lie proved to be a quite
liandsome young gentleman and had
brought with him a smile which hnd
no doubt played sad havoc with maid-
enly hearts nt the alma mater on the
historic Hudson yet beneath the sur-
face there seemed to lurk an imperious
tyrannical if net cruel nature which
tho smiling face could not entirely con-
ccuL lie was studiously polite in his
demeanor toward the ladies and en-
deavored to be a ’hail fellow well
met" among the gentlemen but a (sort
of repollant glance which at times shot
from his eyes went far toward smoth-
ering the warmth with which both
gentlemen and ladies would have glad-
ly welcomed him
Alice was at the party nnd was ex-
quisitely lovely in her dress of purest
white She was the especial idol of
the ladies of the garrison and there
was more than one dissatisfied look on
the more matronly faces when it wns
observed that Vandever seemed to tie
greatly smitten with her charming
presence and grace of manner lie was
devoted in his attentions to the fair
girl so much 60 in fact that hi3 as-
siduity really annoyed her and to es-
cape him she excused herself at the
earliest moment consistent with polite-
ness and went to her home
The young officer evidently classed
Alice In the some category with the
frivolous young ladles without whose
presence life at West Point would have
to him been unendurable Ills vanity
told him that while tho girl with mod-
est Instinct treated him shyly at the
first meeting she could not long resist
his charms and would soon listen to
his protestations of alleged love as
rapturously as a score of girls had
done during his cadetship lienee at
their every future meeting ho aimed
his every shaft of wit eloquence com-
pliment nnd flutter- at tho citadel of
her young heart and was really sur-
prised at her failure to open wide Its
gutc and bid him enter as its conqueror
She treated him with marked polite-
ness at all times yet in her heart
wished that their meetings might bo
as tho visits of angels in the olden
ndoge
It was not long before it began to tic
whispered about that LlcnL Vandever
was tyrannical and Imperiously lordly
in his treatment of tho men who camo
under his supervision when ho served
os officer of tho guard and had been at
times insulting in his relations wdth
tho mon of his own troop in the quar-
ters No complaints were mado how-
ever and tho rumors were lightly
treated until one dny Sergt Barrett
nn old trooper who hnd grown gray lu
the service went to headquarters nnd
naked for an interview with tho com-
manding officer His request was
promptly granted for CoL Sanford was
always aecenslblo to tho men tinder
him Tho old sergeant entered tho
office and removing ills cap and salut-
ing tho commander stood ltko a statue
awaiting permission to speak
"Whot Is It sergeant?" tho ooloflel
asked
"Sir I have been a soldier for more
than twenty years and this is tho first
time I have over modo a complaint I
would have gone to the captain of my
troop but he is absent from poet on a
hunt and the officer of whom I would
complain Is temporarily In command of
the troop I do not think sir there is
a man in the service who feels more
respect for his superior officers than I
do or who is more prompt at recogniz-
ing their rank than I when I meet
them Lieut Vandever came into tho
quarters an hour ago just as I was
leaving the room and I saluted him as
was my duty A moment later I was
standing on the porch Just outside tho
door when he came out and I assumed
the position of a soldier and waited for
him to pass No officer who has been
any length of time in the service would
have desired or expected a repetition
of my salute bnt the lieutenant stepped
up and shook his fist at mo and rough-
ly said:
“ ’What do you mean fellow? Do
you know who I am? Why do you not
salute me?
"I tried to explnln to him but he
crossly told me to shut up and said ho
would teach me the respect due an offi-
cer He then placed me under arrest
Sir I served as a private soldier for six
years and was never in the guardhouse
as a prisoner and during my fourteen
years’ service as a non-commissioned
officer I have never until now been
under arrest and it hurts me sir Oe
humbled me before some of the men of
my troop but I don’t mind that so
much as the disgrace he has fastened
to me"
"Is that all that passed between you
sergeant?"
"That is all sir The lieutenant
used some language that he would be
ashamed to use toward a soldier of my
service after he has been in the army
awhile but I do not complain of that
I wish the disgrace of arrest wiped
from my long record sir that is alL”
"If it will In any manner soothe your
wounded feelings sergeant I will say
to you thnt I have known you for a
long time ond have always regarded
you as a model soldier Y’ou can go to
your quarters I will look into the
matter"
The sergeant saluted and retired
and an orderly was dispatched to sum-
mon Lieut Vandever to headquarters
The young officer hod from his window
seen the sergeant leave the office and
instinctively felt thnt his unwarranted
action had been reported to the colo-
nel He entered the commander’s
presence with a timid air and seated
himself in a chair pushed toward him
“Lieutenant you have placed Sergt
Barrett of your troop under arrest"
"Yes sir for showing me disrespect"
"In what manner?"
“lie failed to salute me when I passed
him and retorted when I reprimanded
him"
"Bad he not 6aluted you in a proper
and respectful manner but a moment
before?"
"Yes sir but then I was entering
the quarters IJo did not recognize me
when I came ont any more than he
would have done one of his own com'
panions”
“In what language did he retort
when you reprimanded him?"
"lie endeavored to excuse himself for
— his — his — his breach of military disci-
pline Ills words were respectful sir
but tho expression on his face was
not”
“A look of pain nt the unmerited dis-
grace you had inflicted on him or one
of contempt?"
“Contempt 6lr Unmistakable eon
tempt"
"Out of respect for your rank Lieut
Vandever the sergeant should have
tried to hide his feelings I wish to
say to you sir thnt Sergt Barrett
was a tried and true soldier when you
were a puling Infant in your mother’s
arms I have known him for many
years and in all of his long and faith-
ful service this is the first blot ever
east on his record He Is a man fitted
by odncalYm nnd long service to fill
position above the one yon now oc-
cupy Sergt Barrett is a soldier who
is not nt nil kicking in respect for his
superiors in rank Were I to meet him
and receive and acknowledge his salute
and on turning aronnd he should sar
lute me again I would think ho hnd
been drinking sir nnd would pardon
his excessive manifestation of resphet
on that ground I believe I have noth'
ing more to say to you sir further
than that your hasty order placing this
man under arrest must be Instantly re-
volted” Stung to tho quick nt this official re-
bulto tho lieutenant sought his quar-
ters An order was at once sent to the
non-commissioned officer annulling the
verbal order of arrest and directing
him to report to the first sergeant of his
troop for duty
Lieut Vandever and Miss Sanford
frequently met and it did not take the
young officer long to learn that any at-
tention sliown her outside the bounds
of ordinary politeness ond courtesy
would bo met with marked displeasure
Ho was really desperately in love with
VANDEVER SEEMED TO BE OREATLY
SMITTEN
tho beautiful girl and did not despair
of arousing In her heart a responsive
emotion but her attitude toward him
told him all too plainly tnat ho could
never gain her favor through tho me-
dium of light flattery and gallant at-
tention which hud proved so effective
in transitory love affairs nt "Tho
Point " Ho soon censed to force bis at-
tentions upon her und tried to bo con
tent to wait and hope Ho felt that his
charm of manner was Irresistible — doz-
ens of girls hnd told him so in moon
light wanderings— ond ho did not doubt
that nt some future day tho fair girl
would striko her colors and capitulate
CHATTER m
A few dnys after tholr first mooting
while tho soldier artist was near the
same spot making a sketch of Mount
Boledad a prominent peak of tho Sun
Andreas range Alice came upon him
again Long before she reached tho
spot whore he sot she had seen him
bending over his work With girlish
Impulsiveness she determined to en-
deavor to learn something of him and
rode directly up to him
"If I disturb you you must frankly
tell me so and I will go away" she
said "I sketch a great deal myself
and naturally take a deep Interest in
an art I love so welL"
You do not disturb me in the least
Miss Sanford" ho replied "As but a
private soldier I deem it an honor that
the daughter of my commander should
take an interest in my poor efforts
And you also are of artistic tastes?
Do you not find rare subject matter for
your pencil in this wildly beautiful
country?"
"0 yes Indeed I do I have many
sketches I have made about the fort
und many more from rarely beautiful
spots in the mountain ranges here-
abouts You are sketching Solcdod I
see May I look nt it?"
It is scarcely started yet" he re-
plied "but as you are an artist I need
not point out to you what It lacks to
complete It"
She gazed upon the picture with
great interest for every bold stroke of
the pencil and every delicate shade
proclaimed a master’s hand For some
moments she stood in rapt aduA ration
her lips parted and her bright expres-
sive eyes drinking in every detail of
the young artist’s work
"Your work is that of the finished
artist" she said "Where did you
learn this?"
“At my home in a far eastern state
developed a taste for drawing when
but a child and every facility for ad-
vancement in the art was placed at my
disposaL In both drawing and paint-
ing I had the best instructors to bo
found in the country"
"And now yon are — "
"Now I am Private Brown an en-
1 is ted man of D troop Sixth cavalry"
he replied with a sad smile
She looked into his eyes with a puz-
zled expression followed by a shadow
of pirin as her father’s words were re-
called "the romance of crime"
Mr Brown I cannot understand
I — I hope — "
lie divined her thoughts in nn in-
stant and quickly responded:
No Miss Sanford not that I know
what yon would say It is too true
there ore many soldiers in the army
who enlisted to escape punishment for
crime but I can truthfully assure you
that I never committed a crime in my
life I confess that the position in life
in which I am placed Is not of my own
choosing that my servile lot Is dis-
tasteful to mo yet with uplifted hand
I gave myself to my country for five
years and I will faithfully fulfill that
SnE GAZED UPON THE HCTURE V
GREAT INTEREST
obligation no matter how sorely the
task may conflict with my own person-
al inclinations In the ranks of life
you occupy a sphere far above my pres-
ent ono Miss Sanford yet you need
not fear being tainted by holding con-
verse with Private Brown"
‘I do sincerely crave your forgive-
ness" she warmly exclaimed "It was
but a passing thought and oven before
you interrupted me your eyes told mo
the suspicion wronged you But it
surely could have been no ordinary
cause that induced you to enter tho
army?"
’It was a result of youthful folly
Miss Sanford I owe my present con-
dition in Ufo entirely to my own youth-
ful folly"
"You excite my curiosity Mr Brown
and a woman’s curiosity when not
gratlfled is Uke a rankling thorn in
her side you know Will you not trust
me with yonr story? Perhaps I may
be able to assist you My father Is the
commanding officer you know and
will grant any reasonable request
may ask of him I might be able to se-
cure your dlbohorge from the service
and enable you to return to a life for
which you ore 1 (otter fitted than you
are to perform the duties of a private
soldier"
"In seeking to learn my history I am
sure you are actuated only by pure
womanly sympathy I thank you for
this thank you most sincerely but I
cannot consent to you making an ef-
fort to secure my discharge I hove ac-
cepted the condition in which I am
placed os a deserved punishment for
wrong doing and as a severe school to
teach me the right ond under no cir-
cumstances would I have my term of
enlistment shortened ono single day"
Alice looked into his eyes for a mo-
ment ond then began a new scrutiny
of the sketch Her thoughts were not
upon tho picture however She was
dobating In her own mind the pro
prlety of pushing her inquiries further
She was burning with curiosity not un-
mixed with sympathy to learn why a
man of bU acquirements and unmistak-
able refinement should be found inBuch
a bumble position After a few mo
ments’ reflection daring which he
watched her face with growing Inter-
est she sprang from her saddle to tho
ground and requested him to tighten
tho girth While he was doing so she
sold
“It may be presumptuous for me to do
so Mr Brown but I must ask yon a
question even at tho risk of being
thought Impertinent When I toll you
I am greatly astonished to find one of
vour qualifications among men so far
beneath you in Intellect and rottned
tastes I feel that yon will see Ill my
interest some palliutlon for mawspn
Mny I venture to ask if there ISffSJTret
connected with tho cause of your thus
banishing yourself from tho runWs of
llfo In whloh you are fitted to move?"
“I hilly appreciate the spirit -of curi-
osity which prompts tho question Miss
Sanford and I really regret that my
reply may dofaca any romantlo mental
picture you may havo drawn of mo I
huvo nothing to conceal from tho
world"
