AYasiiini;tos, Aug. 7. Tlie extra nea
eiou of congress assembled Ht noon.
The nesoiiililinn is of siecial interest,
because for the first time in a third of a
century the democratic- party is in con
trol in all departments, and because the
national legislature is convened to deal
with one of the gravest questions which
lias con iron tttl t lie nation since the
civil war. While the responsibility for
the results rests on the democrats it is
also true the questions at issue will not
be fought out ou strict party lines, as
the parties are divided on it jreographic
ally rather than jiolitically. The anom
aly is shown of men on each side of the
free-coinage proposition in the ranks of
democrats, republicans, populists and
greenbackers alike. This is a fruitful
theuie of discussion while the members
are assembling, and there are many
congratulations that the fight has been
taken out of the domain of rigid party
politics, with a likelihood that it will be
discussed more nearly in the light of
pure reason.
The death of Senator Stanford of Cal
ifornia was communicated to the senate
by White of that state, and as a mark of
respect the senate adjourned nntil to
morrow. This prevents the reception
of the president's message today.
In the house three hundred and sixty
six members were found present. The
clerk announced the election of speaker
next in order. Holnian placed Crisp in
nomination. Henderson of Illinois'
named Tom Reed on behalf of the re

tVHKKLMKN OF THE WOULD.
,-silver democrats express them
ves as agreeably surprised at what
they understand the moderation of the
president's recommendations. While
recommending the unconditional repeal
of the Sherman act, they understand
that he recognizes silver as one of the
money metals which mn&t be main
tained, but points out that, with the
present attitude of the European coun
tries, the proper ratio between gold and
silver cannot be maintained by this
country alone. Therefore, he does not
favor the coinage of silver under the
present conditions, except for subsidi
ary purposes. He thinks in this way
Europe will be coerced into an inter
national agreement more favorable than
iieittofore. He favors silver on a parity
with gold, stands by the platform of
1802, bat says that the platform cannot
be carried out because a fixed parity
cannot be maintained. I'rominent
democrats of both wings have been given
to understand these are the president's
views.
the denouement of that was the billeting
of the young prince to his ship. As for I that the securities they oiler for loans,
the marriage I think tt impossible, as though heretofore satistactory, are no
longer accepted. allies supposed to be
fixed are fast becoming conjectural, and
loss and failure have invaded every
branch of business. 1 believe these
thing are principally chargeable to con
gressional legislation touching purchase
and coinage of silver by the general gov
ernment. This legislation is embodied
in the statute passed July H, lS'.M),
which was the culmination of much agi
tation on the subject involved, and which
may be considered a truce, after a long
struggle, between the advocates of free
silver coinage and those intending to be
more conservative. Undoubtedly the
monthly purchases by the government
of 4 ,500,000 ounces of silver, forced under
that statute, were regarded by those in
terested in silver production as a certain
guaranty of its Increase in price. The
result, however, has been entirely differ
ent, for, immediately following a spas
modic and slight rise, the price of silver
began to fall after the passage of the act,
and has since reached the lowest point
ever known. This disappointing result
has led to a renewed and persistent effort
in the direction of free silver coinage.
The evil effects of the Hherman law
are then discussed, which destroys the
parity between the two niclais by es
tablishing a discrimination in favor of
gold. Also that the gold reserve has
not been spared and that the excess of
gold exports over imports for tiie year
civilized countries'

See N. Harris' thow
now in force leads in the direction of the
entire substitution of silver for gold in
the government treasury, and that this
must be followed by the payment of all
government obligations in depreciated
silver.
The knowledge in business circles
among our people that our government
cannot make its fiat equivalent to in
trinsiu value, nor keep inferior money
on a parity with suiierior money by Its
own independent efforts, has resulted in
such a lack of confidence at borne in the
stability of currency values that capital
refuses its aid to new enterprises, while
millions are actually withdrawn from
the channels of trade and commerce to
become idle and unproductive In t'ie
hands of timid owners. Foreign invest
ors are equally alert. They not only de
cline to purchase American securities,
hut make haste to sacrifice those which
they already have.
This matter rises above tho plane of
party politics. It vitally concerns
every business and calling and enters
every household in the laud. There is
one important aspect of the subject
which especially should never be over
looked. At a time like the present,
when the evils of unsound finance
threaten us, the emulator may antici
pate the harvest gathered from tho mis
fortunes of others; the capitalist may
protect himself by hoarding or may even
find a profit in the fluctuation of values;
but the wuge-earucr, the first to lie in
jured by a depreciated currency and the
last to receive tho benefit of its correc
tion, is practically defenseless. He re
lies for work upon the ventures of con
fident and contented capital. This full
ing him, his condition is without allevi
ation, fof he can neither prey on the
misfortunes of others nor hoard his
labor. One of the greatest statesmen
our country has known, speaking more
than fifty years ago when the derange
ment of currency had caused commercial
appearance of County Treasurer George
F.. Bloomer. The county commissioners
have been investigating Mr. Bloomer's
accounts. They met today, and when
Mr. Bloomer was called for a settlement
he failed to answer to his name. There
is a deficiency in his accounts of several
thoii-and dollars, but the exact amount
bus not Iwen made known. His bonds
men are Ben Haymoiid, K. Kubli,
Charles Nickell and Jerry Nunan. Mr.
Nickell is at Grants Pass, and Messrs.
Nunan and Kubli are at Cinnabar. Mr.
Haymnnd is one of the county commis
sioners. The absent gentlemen have
been sent for, and will lie here tomorrow.
Mr. Bloomer left Jacksonville lust Satur
day noon, going from here to lied ford,
since which tinie nothing has been heard
from him. He was serving his second
term as treasurer of Jackson county, was
elected by the democratic party, and has
always borne an excellent reputation
and was a general favorite both in social
and business circles, and his disappear
ance causes the utmost surprise and re
gret here. He is quite a young man and
unmarried. He is the senior member of
the firm of Bloomer, Cronemlller & Co.,
and one of the incorporators of tho Butte
