SATURDAY. JULY 6, !893
TEE SPECIAL SESSION,
President Cleveland baa called both
houses of congress to convene in
Washington City, on the 7th day of
August, and in his preamble states the
cause to be the distrust and apprehen
sion concerning the financial situation
which pervades all business circles. It
could sot be expected that he would so
fully outline the condition of affairs as
to make the Democratic party in - the
' least responsible, and he throws the
blame, by inneudo at least, on the
- "Sherman act and other 'unwise laws'
which must be executed until repealed
' by congress," If the present distress
has been caused wholly by these meas
ures it is strange that the country has
enjoyed unexampled prosperity under
- their operation until within the last
' few months, and that financial depres-
- sion was not suffered as soon as their
baneful influences were felt Protec
tion has been the policy of the couu
try for more than thirty years, and
' wool and iron industries and manufac
turers of fabrics would have suffered
from it long ago; and even it the Sher
man act had been the only cause of
the drain of gold from the treasury,
.this would have begun soon after its
passage.
: The truth of the matter is that the
actuating cause lays elaewhere,aad can
be traced directly to the Democratic
Chicago platform, which was endorsed
by an overwhelming majority of the
people last falL This meant a change
in the administration of affairs, and
capital became distrustful and finan
cial depression followed. The Sher
man law might have continued in
operation for some time without serious
results if there were back of it a Re
publican administration and Republi
can congress; but with a party
pledged to free trade in charge of the
government it could not continue six
' months and the country be prosperoup.
The duty of the special session is
plain, and it is expected the executive
will impress this forcibly upon the
minds of the members. First and
foremoBtr, to restore confidence to ban-
msb, the tariff must not be meddled
with. It is the bulwark of the coun-
try's prospurity, and any interference
with it will make matters worse, if
possible, than they now are. The gold
basis should be adopted and the pur
chase of silver stopped. With the
downward tendency of silver it would
be folly to think of free-coinage or bi
metallism, and would increase the
dangers which now threatens financial
centers. The Chicago platform must
be ignored, and the country must be
made to understand that the Demo
' cratic party is opposed to the princi
ples laid down in that series of resolu-
. tiona. There is no time for hesitancy
in this matter, and if congress ad
journs 'without some positive action
ic , will have been called in vain.
Mr. Cleveland has never been a strong
Democrat on Enances and the tariff,
and in his letter of aoceptance did not
fully endorse the doctrines of the na
tidnal convention.- He has a grand
opportunity to exert his great person
ality, and to save the country from the
. vortex of ruin with which it is threat
ened. His will power has been suffi
cient in other emergencies, and the
country will anxiously wait and see if
he can forget his political antecedents
and be successful against Democratic
free trade and free silver.
BL6UNT8 EXCUSE.
An eastern exchange in speaking of
Mr. Blount's refusal to celebrate the
4th- of July in Hawaii, makes the fol
lowing pointed remarks:
"Some excuse was felt to be neces
sary for Mr. Blount for his apparently
unpatriotic action, and he" gave one, in
substance, as folio ws: 'That the posi
tion of a representative of the presi
dent is so peculiar as to render it un
becoming for him to take part in any
public demonstration.' The excuse is
ridiculous. The United States is in
comparably greater than the president
thereof, and the ambassadors who rep
resent the United States not the
president- to the great nations of
France, Russia, Germany and Great
Britain never fail to take part in 'a
public demonstration, on The Fourth.'
That glorious day is celebrated by
Americans throughout the world, and
wherever there is a diplomatic repre
sentative of the United States he leads
his countrymen in doing honor to the
instrument that declared its independ
ence. "Mr. Blount, however, does not
represent the United States; he repre
sents the president only, and it may
be that he believed that he would best
please his master by refraining from
patriotic demonstration. Mr. Cleve
land is not an enthusiastic observer of
days made holy by patriotic tradition.
When asked to join in celebration of
Decoration day he declined and went
fishing instead. But he had sense
enough to abstain from excusing him
self on the plea that a national officer
should not join in national observance
of a national holiday. He just said
that he had no time for fishing and for
parading, and that he preferred fishing
to parading with the veterans of the
anion. It would have been better
had Mr. Blount excused himself in
like manner."
The Oregonian is doing a good work
for the nation in the sound stand it
has taken on the financial question,
and the editorials in favor of. a gold
standard are in harmony with the
policy of commercial nations. In this
crisis which is now unsettling all val
ues, the duty of every American citi
zen is plain, and we are glad to see
the great daily of Portland standing
firm in the advocacy of the only safe
plan that ean be adopted. Its articles
are exhaustive on the subject, and its -argument
unanswerable. The Re-
publican party, during the thirty years
that it controlled national affairs, was
as firm in the maintenance of the na
tional credit abroad as of national
unity at home, and it must not stultify
itself now by following thes untried
plans of theorists on a question which
has engaged the attention of the great
est statesmen of all ages, and on which
experience has marked out only one
safe course. Oregon, in the special
session, should be a unit in favor of
sound finances, and other papers
should fall in line with the Oregdninn
in supporting our senators and repre
sentatives in pursuing a course in har
mony with the best interests of the
nation.
The news has flashed across the
wires that Greece has declared herself
a republic, and that King George has
abdicated the throne. In 1827 the
little country gained her freedom from
Tuikish rule, and since that time has
existed as a limited monarchy. The
present reigning king has been a& en
lightened ruler, ani has greatly ad
vanced the interests of the country;
but with the progress of education
among the masses the dream of free
dom has been indulged in until it be
came a reality on July 4, 1893. With
such a patriotic and intelligent ances
try no people should be better fitted
for free institutions, but it is doubtful
if the Greeks of to-day are as compe
tent for self-government as their fore
fathers were when they composed the
philosophers and poets of the world.
You can give wool away under this
administration but yon can't sell it.
Salem Journal. All this comes as the
natural consequence of the due en
forcement of the .McKinley law as
passed and approved by the Republi
can party. Albany Democrat. But it
is strange that the enforcement of the
McKinley bill and the high protective
tariff for many years did not
have their effects on the wool market
before the inauguration of the Cleve
land administration. If the country
could be assured that the tariff would
still continue in -operation the ware
houses in Eastern Oregon would not
be full of this year's clip, with no
prices being offered. The nation needs
more Republican McKinley ism and
less free trade and free silver Democ
rady. Hon Binger Hermann.in hia fourth-of-July
address at Roseburg, should
have left finances a'one, if he could not
talk about them intelligently. It was
not necessary, on the anniversary of
national independence, for him to have
spokea on political issues, without be
desired to play the part of the dema
gogue and pave his way to future fa
vors. In this he may have succeeded
with a certain class, but not with the
intelligent citizens of the state. He
displays about equal knowledge of the
financial attention that a school-boy
does, and it is very much to be regret
ted that such a surface-skimmer will
be called open to help solve the great
problem of finance at the special ses
sion of congress to be convened next
month.
Death and destruction have followed
the path of the cylcone in Iowa, and
homes have been wrecked and families
made desolate during the week. This
seems to be an annual occurrence in
the states west of the Mississippi, and
appears to be almost as certain as that
summer will follow spring. The con
dition of the atmosphere," with coun
ter currents of winds, are the
physical causes, and cyclones will
rage while summers remain the same as
they have. On the Pacific slope, with
mountain ranges running from one ex
tremity to the other, different attitudes
and a regular supply of moisture, such
phenomena do not exist. Our "lines
have fallen to us in pleasant places"
and we have a "goodly heritage."
The friends of home-rule in the
British parliament are alive to the im
portance of passing the bill as quickly
as possible, and Mr. Gladstone and his
compatriots are using great energy to
push it to the final yote. But the op
position is equally active, and the
hardest fought battle for human rights
in modern times is likely to take place
on the floors of the house of commons.
Americans are in sympathy with any
movement for the amelioration of the
condition of mankind, and the Irish
people have so identified themselves
with this country that in their struggle
for independence they will receive the
unqualified support of all true patriots
ou this Bide of the Atlantic.
President Cleveland has on different
occasions expressed his views on finan
cial matter 8, and he is widely known
to be a strong believer in a single
standard; but the strongest advocates
of unlimited coinage are editors of
Democcatio papers, and even now,
when the country is on the verge of
financial ruin by reason of this craze
after silver, the press of that party are
clamoring for bi metallism. This lack
of harmony between the executive and
his partisans is very marked, and will
not conduce to harmony in the ap
proaching special session of congress.
If the Sherman act is repealed next
month it will be done by Republican
votes, and the country may again be
saved by the old party of progress and
protection. : .
England enjoyed a holiday yester
day on the occasion of the marriage of
the Princess May, of Teck, to the Duke
of York, the oldest son of the Prince
of Wales." The wedding was a bril
liant one, and London and all the
chief cities wore gay colors. Notwith
standing the fact that there is a grow
ing democratic element in Great Brit
ain, there is still an attachment to
royalty, and on all occasions when a
queen, kingfor prince is the principal
actor, there will be more or less public
demonstrations,even among classes who
claim no sympathy with the crown or
nobility.; '
DEMOCRATIC 8TATESIAN8HIP.
The Mercury, of Portland, is in fa
vor of the "repeal of a'l specific con
tract laws, and a law of congress mak
ing all money issued by the govern
ment a legal tender for any acd all
debts and liabilities" regardless of
everything to the contrary. This, our
cotemporary imagines would "restore
confidence in financial cirolcs, and
would stop all speculations by bankers,
brokers and money shylocks, and en
liven trade and make better times than
any other thing that could be done,
and until that is done there will be
more or less uncertainty in business
matters and investments of all kinds."
But the Albany Democrat does not
consider this feasible and says: ''That
would be difficult on account of the
fact that congress, led by such men as
John Sherman years ago refunded the
debt of the government, then payable
in 'lawful money' and made it payable
in gold." It will be a great loss to
the country for many generations that
these great' financial minds were not
in the ascendancy in congress during
the "late unpleasantness," instead of
such fanatics on financial honesty as
John Sherman and his Republican al
lies. They would .have saved to the
public treasury millions of dollars by
paying the national debt in green
backs, worth at one time only forty
cents on the dollar. Of course the
national honor was pledged to the re
demption of these "promises to-pay" in
standard money of the world; but this
would have made no difference, for the
country would have reaped the benefit
of the difference between the forty
cent greenback and the standard do!
lar of commerce. One of the most
plausible reasons for the depression in
the monetary market to-day and the
low prices being offered for products is
that the government has paid its debts
in honest money, and this would have
been avoided if the Democratic party
bad been placed in power in 1868.
The victory of November 8, 1892,
came twenty five years too late for the
people to fully appreciate the .advan
tages of Democratic financial schemes;
but there may be some of the benefits
experienced in the next three years,
and a slight foretaste has been had
during the past few months.'
EDITORIAL. NOTES.
By the way, where is Wayne Mc
Veigh? Is there no place for him
under the present regime, after all his
bard work last summer?
Eastern Oregon has reaped little
revenue this season from her wool, and
the run of salmon has been very light.
With good grain crops and fair prices
there may be relief to this portion of
the state in the next few weeks.
The 4th of July was properly cele
brated yesterday by becoming exer
cises, and the people have the same
abiding faith in republican institutions
as ever. It is a good indication 'of the
permanency of free institutions when
American citizensvie with each other
in doing honor to Revolutionary heroes
on the anniversary of the Declaration
of Independence.
The people of Eastern Oregon have
waited patiently since the adjourn
ment of the legislature to hear some
thing from the board in reference to
the location of the branch insane asy
lam; but nothing is. definitely known
yet. bxamiaations have been mad
of different localities; but no report
has been made. What is the matter,
and when will this silence be broken?
CoL Robert A. Miller, he who as
pired to be minister to Turkey, has re
ceived the appointment of register of
the land office at Oregon City, and, if
not sati8ged, must rest contented. Bu
how about Flagg, of the Salem Demo
crat, and others who were applicants
for this position? They must chew the
bitter cud of disappointment, and
loyal to the president and the "time-
honored principles."
me uerman reicnstagg has con
vened, and the emperor has read his
address to them. There is no mistak
ing the language used, and if the army
bill is not passed a dissolution will be
the inevitable result. It may be
necessary for the perpetuity of the em
pire tnat toe efficiency or the army
should be increased; but republicanism
becomes weaker and weaker as the
military strength increases The con
solidated government may not be able
to exist except supported by bayonets;
but individual liberty can never live
under such circumstances.
J ustus H. Schwab, one of the. most
blatant anarchists of New York, said
when he had read Governor Altgeld's
pardon message: "Anarchy is only in
its infancy, but Governor Altgajd has
helped it on to maturity." TSot much.
Altgeld has already been repudiated
by the people he was supposed to rep
resent and by the party that elected
him. He has simply shown that he
could not be trusted. The people rule,
and they will dispose of Altgeld and
anarchy both in short order. The
governor has a three years' lease upon
bis office, but he has already lost the
influence that attaches to the place.
TELEQBAPHIO SEWS.
A Kevolntloa in fcireece.
Fabis. July 4 The startling news' has
been received here that a revolution has
occurred la Greece, that King George
has abdicated, and that the people of
Athens, backed by the soldiery, have
proclaimed Greece a republic. The
event was so sudden and unexpected that
the particulars of it are as yet but rumors.
No official verification of it can be ob
tained at this hour, but considering the
dissatisfaction prevalent foi some time.
and the impulsive character of the peo
ple, it is not regarded as improbable. A
cablegram similar to the above was re
ceived in this city by a prominent Greek.
Several Greeks were seen in regard to it,
but they bad no information to give.
While surprised, tbey thought it not im
probable. Their countrymen, tbey say,
have long been hoping and planning to
make their country an independent re
public.
A Terrible Disaster.
St. Petehsbubg, July 4 A terrible
disaster, resulting in a large loss of life,
occurred today on the steamer Alfont, a
boat employed in the river trade on the
Volga. The steamer, with quite a num -ber
of passengers on board. waaaDDroach-
ing Romanov, when the boilers exploded,
killing 26 passengers. Among the dead
is General Petro&bewski. The explosion
tore the upper part of the steamer to
pieces, and burning coals blown from the
furnaces set fire to the wreck. The boat
burned to the water's edge and then
sank.

Over a Precipice.
Oregon, City, Or., Julj 4 An other
wise pleasant and uneventful Fourth
culminated in a eesinus and fatal acci
dent at the Clackamas river, two miles
north of this city, at 8:45 o'clock to
night, when M. P. Bradley's team be
came frightened and ran away, throwing
the wagon containing himself, wife and
four children over a rock; precipicu 40
feet bigb. As the wagon was going over
Mr Bradley jumped and caught upon
the verge ot tue precipice, but the rest
fell to the bottom and were all more or
less seriously injartd, Mrs. Bradlev
struck upon the rocks at the bottom,
tearing the scalp loose from the top of
ber bead. Her body rolled into the
water and was found, after an hour's
search, 300 yards down the stream. The
baby, 18 months old, was brought up
unconscious and is serionsly hurt. The
oldesCa boy 10 years of age. rustaioed a
concussion of the brain and is in a crit
ical condition The other two children
escaped with serious but not fatal
bruises, while Mr. Bradley himself has
no serious Injuries.
The injured children were immediately
carried to the nearest house that of Rev
Oilman Parker where Dr. Locke, who
assisted in rescuing them, did all that
medical science coo'd do for their relief,
and in this critical emergency it was for
tunate that he was near al hand' to ren
der immediate assistance. He remained
until Dr. Ctrll, of this citv. could be
summoned, who took immediate charge
of the patients and is now carefully at
tending their wants. Htrry Dyer, super
intendent of the East Side Railway Com
pany, was present and immediately
placed a car at the disposal of those who
bad found the body, and the remains
were brought to tbfs city, where an in
quest will be held in the morning. From
the nature of the injuries sustained by
Mrs. Bradley they must have proved
fatal even if she had not fallen into the
river, and it is probable that she was
killed before striking the water. The at
flicted family have lived in this com
munity only since las winter, having
moved here irom some place in Wantiing
ton. Explosion in a Colliery,
London, July 4 Great excitement was
caused in Thornhill, Yorkshire, by an
explosion today in Ingram's colliery.
One hundred and thirty miners are en
tombed, and it is feared the loss of lite
will be heavy. The rescuing parties are
hard at work, and tour bodies have been
recovered acd brought to the surface.
The day shift went to work as usual this
morning. "All went well nntil noon, when
the workers at the mouth of the pit were
startled by a muffled explosion and
clouds of dense smoke rolling .up the
main shaft. The pi managers organized
a party and descended slowly through
the smoke. They were driven back re
peatedly, and eventually gave op the
purpose of penetrating to the workings
before the foul gas should be cleared
away. After taking up the bodies
found at the bottom cf the shaft Ibe res
cue party waited for several hours before
making another descent. About the
middle of the evening they went down
again. The gas bad cleared of near the
shaft, and tbey were able to examine
some of the workings, he bodies of
the miners lay in henps. Many were
sent to the surface. "Unremitting efforts
are being made to reach the few miners
who may still be alive. About 110 are
supposed to be killed. Between 11 and
12 o'clock so much gas bad accumulated
in the mine that it was necessary to stop
be work of rescue. Men and boys are
missing to the number of 145. The dead
body of the under manager, badly burned,
was found in the mine near the sbiilt.
Why Be Was Called.
Washington, July 8 The true reason
why Crisp was called- to consult with
Carlisle was because the Cleveland ad
ministration wanted a pledge from him
that Bland should not be made cha.rmn
ot the coinage committee. Crisp made
no pledges, but suggested that Bland be
sent for, and that be might be induced
to make satisfactory promises to the ad-
ministration. Bland wants several ap
pointments tuat have not yet been mads.
and Crisp suggested that Cleveland
might do more with bim than he could
promise. Crisp, although concededly the
next speaker, does not feel that he is m
any position to be promising chairman
ships so long in advance of the assembly
of congress.
THE INTERVIEW WITH CARLISLE.
Washington, July 8 Ex Speaker
Crisp arrived this morning and bad an
interview of 20 minutes with Secretaiy
Carlisle. Representative Bynum. aiter a j
talk with Crisp, said be was satisfied the
bouse wonld consent to ao unconditional
repeal of the Sherman law.
The Death of Captain ft'lavel.
Astoria, Or., Jnly 4 Captain George

Tne Rona-ha of ParJa.
Paris, July 5 It now appears most
of tbe noting yesterday was not by stu
dents, bnt by the riff raff, who took ad
vantage of tbe occasion to raise a distur
bance. This class resumed tbeir rioting,
and bad numerous conflicts with tbe no-
lice and soldiers. Numbers on both
Bides were Injured. Tbe aflair has as
sumed such a aenous aspect tbat tbe
authorities are determined to restore
order at any cost. Almost tbe whole
city is occupied by troops who bave
orders to . repress tbe d sorder with a
strong nana. Tbe body or finger, tbe
young man killed in yesterday's riots,
was conveyed py nnrrequentea iireeii to
the Lyons railway station this morning,
and cent home to his pitreutg at Lyons,
to avoid another uprising.
The mob has been cowed by the de
termined front presented by the govern'
mcnt in calling out the military, and all
is quiet up to 5 this evening It is
teared, however, the trouble will be re
newed after nightfall. The governnvnt
will order the troops to fire volleys into
the crowds if necessary. The trouble
originally arose from the finiug ot the
manager of the students' ball for allow
ing girls to appear in a state little ru
mored from nudity The students, how
ever, are disgusted with the roughs for
carrying things so far, and have with
drawn trom the streets and only the scum
of Pans is now concerned. Tbey assure
the government they are no longer in any
syiupatnv with the trouble, and have
posted placards to that effect. It is be
lieved the Boulangists are fostering the
troubles fur political ends.
A Kerious -mobbing Affray.
Snohomish, Wash., July 5 About
midnight last night a prbably fatal stab
bing affray occurred at Hiller City, a
few miles north of here, on the Lake
Shore railway. A half-breed Indian
named Ed Giddiogs stabbed a bartender
named Joe Cicero in the neck, almost
entirely severing the windpipe and jug
ular vein. Statements as to the caue
are conflicting at this time. One story is
that botn Giddings and Cicero were at
tending a dance, and that brtween the
dunces they retired and drank freely
until they became thoroughly drunk,
when it is said they quarreled over some
trivial matter, ending with the above re
sult. Another stnte.nent advanced is
that the trouble between these two par
tite arose early in the day. at which time
it is said Giddings borrowed a dirk-knife
from a friend, concealing it upon his
perpon and using it at the first opportun
ity. Giddings was brought to this city
this morning and lodged in jail. Cicero
is unable to oe moved and al a late hour
was considered past recovery.
A Horse Tiller Captu-ed,.
Corvallis, July 5 Sheriff Osburn re
turned from Em aire City this merning,
having in charge Frank J Feck, alias
Frank Baxter, arrested for borsc-stealiDg
on a bench warrant issued three years
ago. In 1890 Baxter was representing
the Singer Manufacturing Company in
this state, and while in Corvallis pro
curfd a team ot Thomas Elgin to drive
to Eugene. As be tailed to return, the
sheriff started after him, pursuing him
to the southern part of the state, and
came so near overtaking him that B-txter
left the buggy in the road and escaped
with the teum into the brush. He was
afterward captured by the sheriff of Lane
county and sent to the penitentiary for a
year. He bad also served a year from
this county for forgery. When arrested
last be bad been serving a 60-day sen
tence in the Coos county jail icr petit
larceny. He admits bis guilt and said to
Sheriff Osburn that he had been expect
ing a call from him for some time.
Bailroad Bridge Burned.
Huntington, Or., July 5 The people
of Huntington were alarmed yesterday
morning, about 4 o'clock by distress sig
nals sounded by a locomotive east of the
town. Assistance was quickly organized
aud dispatched in the direction the sig
nals were heard. About two miles east
of the town the westbound passenger
was found standing on the east side. of a
bridge, of which about 90 feet of the
west approach had been burned. For
tunately the train bad not recovered its
speed after crossing Snake-river bridge,
which fact enabled the engine crew to
smell the smoke and notice the unusual
light ahead and around a point of rocks,
and to promptly stop the engine. Pas
senger travel has not been seiioualy de
layed, owing to the facilities for trans
fernng. It is expected the bridge will
be reaay lor trains uy tomorrow morn

Smelters Beady to Bay Silver,
Denver, July 6 "The smelteis will
resume the purchase ot silver ore in a
few days. I think that the outlook is
considerably better than it was a week
ago," said D. Moffitt, president ot the
West National bank, one of the heaviest
holders ot 6ilver mining properties in the
state. "A vef noticeable reaction seems
to have taken place in the last few days,
as indicated by the strong advance in il
ver bullion. I expect to see 'it go to 80
cents inside of 30 days. I notice that
France is beginning to protest against
the action against silver, and that will
help ns. Silver exports from New York
show that there is a market somewhere.
We feel decidedly better, and shall
shortly resume work at our mines There
will be very little profit in silver at 80
cents for us, but it will pay expenses."
"The feeling is much better than it
was a few days ago," said W. H. Jakes,
of the Omaha and E. Grant smelter.
"We cannot count with any certainty
upon the real shape of the market until
we hear from the government regarding
the July purchase of silver. That will
give us a basis for calculation. Miners
of the state are inclined to accept the
situation cheerfully. The feeling of des
pondency has iven place to one of con
fidence that affairs will be right in due
time. The Gustin mine on Red moun
tain reopened today."
Another Fool Crank.
Toledo, July 6 Seymour, the mind
reader, was in Toledo yesterday, on bis
way o Chicago, where bo is going to be
buried alive alter tbe manner ot tbe In
diuc magicians, who say they can sus
pend animation for any period by swal
lowing their tongues and controlling
their heart and mind. "My coffin has
gone ahead," said Mr. Seymour. "It is a
f&c simile of the one in which General
Grant's remains now rest, and cost $3000.
It is made in three sections, one fitting
inside the other. I will be buried six
feet deep in tbe colli o. S guala are to be
arranged so that If things do not go
right I can communicate with tbe sol
diers on tbe outside, who will guard tbe
grave. Directly after I am buried a crop
ot barley will be sown over the grave. I
will remain burled until tbe germs sprout,
grow, ripen and are harvested. - Then
'the disinterment will take place. I won't
come back to earth nntil September 24
I am positive I can do it, and the scien
tific men who are assisting me are be
ginning to think so, too."
Confidence Kestored,
Spokane, July 6 The resumption of
tbe Washington National bank, which
suspended just a month Bgo today,
cau'ed quite a demonstration. Tbe mov
og or specie to the new building was
witnessed by a large crowd eatly in tbo
morning and was attended by four po
licemen and deputy sheriffs. At 10
o'clock when the doors were opened, tbe
crowd of depositors reached half a block,
Two men reached tbe teller's window
first, and to prevent a wrangle two tel
lers took money simultaneously. . Tbe
back remained opened during the usual
hours and on It paid out $3100. Tbe re
ceipts were $35,000 greater than that
amount. Tbe opening of tbe bank has
done much to restore confidence in busi
ness all around.

pressed bimself thus in regard to tbe
Sherman silver law: "I will say that I
-am in favor of i's immediate repeal, but
tbe substitute has not been agreed upon
Regarding the so-called financial flurry.
it is ot no great importance, as I believe
nine-tenths of tbe repored business
manufactuies were weak concerns
look for great results from the ermine
session of congress, and I believe some
f?.od and wholesome laws will be
enacted."
