A bill has passed the senate
granting a pension to the widow
of Gen. Crook. 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.

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

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

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."

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.
