Bills also passed giving a like pension to Mrs Fre mont and Mrs. McClellan. The two children of the late Justus Rathbone, founder of the order of Knights of Pythias, who were left destitute, are to receive $150.00 every three months from the supreme lodge of that order, while they remain unmarried. 4- When Mr. Porter gets through with the eleventh census, he will register a vow never to do it again. One task like that with its disap pointments and protests, is suffi cient for the average man; and Mr. Porter seems to b3 quite an average citizen. Democratic papers are now quoting the utterances of ex-Senator Thurman upon the present at titude of political powers, and praising the old wheel horse of their party for his wisdom, his boldness and his patriotism. And yet these same papers passed him by with but scant mention when lie was made the tail to Mr. Cleve land's kite in the last presidential campaign. Postmaster-General Clarkson says the postal service expenses last year were $72,000,000 and the earnings $68,000,000, which leaves .a balance of only $4,000,000 to be provided for. He thinks that the railway postal clerks are very poorly paid, considering their dan gerous work. There were eleven elerk8kHed aud eighty-five disa Xled last year more than in the armv. - li B rauifi peculiar mao 11 me Democratic papers think that it would be political suicide for the Republicans to pass the federal election bill, they should all so vi olently oppose such action. One would naturally think these Dem ocratic sheets would gloat over the praspect of their opponent's death by its own hand. The truth is the Democrats know that such a meas ure would be the deeth knell of their own party, for it would give the Republicans in the South an opportunity to vote and have their votes counted. Toledo Blade. Minneapolis and St. Paul are to have a new count. The superin tendent of the census writes to the secretary of the interior and says: liIn all probability there existed in Minneapolis a wide-spread or ganized conspiracy for inflating the census of that city. This conspir acy was only partially carried through, owing to its early discov ery. To what extent, however, the schedules are frauduent can be at present only a matter of conjec ture. Families have been swollen to an enormous size by the addi tion of children, and the boarding capacity of existing houses has been taxed far beyond their limits by the addition of families, and houses with their contents have been invented by hundreds. In addition to these palpable frauds, transients and mealers have been enumerated at hotels and board ing houses, and employees have been enumerated at their shops as well as at their houses in large numbers. In St. Paul there has been discovered no evidence of an organized conspiracy, but a num ber of cases of illegal additions to schedules have been found. These additions are similar in character to those discovered in Minneapolis, . but they are not by any means as wide spread or extensive." T.i- it i; il.i :e ii. A pajer recently started at Julian Jdaclo, lias for its motto, "Grasp all in sight and rustle for more." THE SILVER BILL. The bill recently passed by both houses of congress and signed by the president, and which is now a part of the statutes, reads as follows: Section 1. The secretary of the treasury is hereby directed to pur chase from time to time bullion to the aggregate amount of 4,500, 000 ounces, or so much thereof as may be offered, in each month, at the market price thereof, not ex ceeding one dollar for three hund red and seventy one and twenty five one hundredths grains of pure silver, and to issue in payment for such purchases of silver bullion, treasury notes of the United States to be prepared by the secretary of the treasury, in such form and of such denominations, not less than one dollar nor more than one thou sand dollars, as he may prescribe, and a sum sufficient to carry into effect the provisions of this act is hereby appropriated out of any money in the treasury not other wise appropriated. Sec. 2. That the treasury notes issued in accordance with the pro visions of this act shall be redeem able on demand in coin at the treasury of the United States, or at the office of any assistant treas urer of the United States, and when so redeemed may be reissued, but no greater or less amount of such notes shall be outstanding at any time than the cost of the silver bullion and the standard silvej dollars coined therefrom then held in the treasury purchased by such notes, and such treasury notes shall be a legal tender in payment of all debts, public or private, ex cept where otherwise expressly stipulated in the contract, and shall be receivable for customs, taxes and all public dues, and when so received may be reissued; and such notes, when held by any national banking association, may be counted as a part of its lawful reserve; that upon demand of the holder of any of the treasury notes herein provided for, the secretary of the treasury shall, under such regulations as he may prescribe, redeem such notes in gold or silver coin at his discretion, it being the established policy of the United States to maintain the two metals on a parity with each other upon the present legal ratio or such ratio as may be provided for by law. Sec. 3. That the secretary of the treasury shall each month coin 2,000,000 ounces of the silver bull ion purchased under the provis ions of this act into standard silver dollars until the 1st day of July, 1891, and alter that time he shall coin of the silver bullion purchased under the provisions of this act as much as may be necessary to pro vide for the redemption of the treasury notes herein provided for, and any gain or seigniorage arising from such coinage shall be ac counted for and paid into the treasury. Sec. 4. That the silver bullion purchased under the provisions of this act shall be subject to the re quirements of the existing law and the regulations of the mint service governing the methods of deter mining the amount of pure silver contained and the amounts of charges or deductions, if any, to be made. Sec 5. That so much of the act of February 28, 1878, entitled "An act to authorize the coinage of the standard . silver dollar and to re store its legal tender character' as requires the monthly purchave and coinage of the same into silver dollars of not less than $2,000,000 nor more than $4,000,000 worth of 0 silver, is hereby repealed. Sec. 6. That upon the passage of this act the balances standing with the treasurer of the United States to the respectivecredits of nation al banks for deposits made to re deem the circulating notes of such banks, and all deposits thereafter received for like purposes shall be covered into the treasury as a mis cellaneous receipt, and the treasur er of the United States shall re deem from the general cash in the treasury the circulating notes of said banks which may come into his possession, subject to redemp tion; and upon the certificate of the controller of the currency that such notes have been destroyed, and that no new notes will be is sued in their place, reimbursement of their amount shall be made to the treasurer, under such regula tions as tne 'secretary of the treas ury may prescribe from an appro priation hereby created to be known as ''national bank notes; redemption account;" but the pro visions of this act shall not apply to the deposits received under sec tion 3 of the act of June 20, 1874, requiring every national bank to keep in lawful money with the treasurer of the United States a sum equal to 5 per centum of its circulation, to be he'd and used for the redemption of its circulating notes, and the balance remaining of the deposits so covered shall at the close of each month, be report ed on the monthly public debt statement as debt of the United States bearing no interest. Sec 7. That this act shall take effect thirty days from and after its passage. A Washington, D. C, dispatch says: Assistant Postmaster-General Clarkson returned from a tour of the Western States last evening and assumed his official duties here to-day. He said to an Asso ciated Press reporter: "My tour comprised all the important cities west of Chicago and north of Kan sas City. No one can understand how rapidly that great country is growing until he sees it. It has not had in any of the departments the official facilities it is entitled to. Postoffices in cities that have been doubling in population every year or two were looked over, and I returned with recommendations for increased allowances for nearly all of them, and some of these have already been granted. The department is anxious to try and keep up with that country, in its prodigious growth and increase in population and business develop ment. The states of the Pacific slope are simply wonderful. Polk County observer: After a man has been in Oregon a time he is not content to live in any of the old states. A gentleman writes to a friend from Pennsylvania: "If I was back again in Oregon, I would stay. People don't see the differ ence in the countries until they come back. It costs more for liv ing here than it does in Oregon. Rents are higher her?; and most things in living are higher. There will be no fruit here. It makes my mouth water when I think of the nice fruit in Oregon. Please send me the name of some good wholesale house that deals in fruit. IT IS THS IP'S A.Ii MEDICITSTB.
