WASHINGTON, Maicti 6. It develops
there is a concerted action of Repub icbd
senators in the effort te take up tbe Blaud
seigniorage bill at this time, with tbe
purpose of displacing tbe tariff bill.
It is tbe result of a conference be d by
tue acmsory committee ol the Kepuuiicau
senatorial caucus. While Republican
senators, both favorable to and adverse
to silver, express tbemsi-lyes in favor of
tbe movement, there is no great zeal
manifested on either band; neither the
free-coinage Republicans nor the anti-
silver Republicans would oDDose tbe bill.
and If they support now, or appear to do
so, tneir only motive is to stand off the
tariff hill. The tilver meo do not con
sider the pissageof the bill wi.u'd ha
nv influence whatever in bebaif of the
silver interests.

of our citizens to meet the demand at
that time, and the extra 5 per cent
charged sfter that date would he very
burdensome. Some farmers have not
sold their wheat yet, and those who
did realized very little from the sale.
Tbe county court is now in sessioL,
and we are satisfied if the date of de
linquency in the payment of taxes
would be put off until tbe 1st of June,
or later.it would be tbe means of per
mitting many to pay tbeir taxes who,
if forced to aieet the demand the first
of next month, would be placed
under a heavy burden. In some
instances property would hare to
be sacrificed, or money borrowed at a
ruinous rate of interest. All depart
ments of business in this city are more
or less dependent on farm ere, and the
county court by favoring them will
act in the interest of all portions of
the community.
The senate, in its capacity as the
conservative element in national legis
lation, is a necessary balance wheel to
the machinery of free government.
There are many times when the rigbta
of the minority would lie rudely
trampled under feet if it had not been
that the senate acts as a safeguard
against the turbulent will of the ar -jority.
There must be restraint in
public affairs as well as in individua
actions. Absolute freedom in eitbf r
is simply license, aud this was not
contemplated by the framers of the
constitution of this country. Liberty
and anarchy are closely allied to each
other.and it is in harmony with popular
institutions that there should be a limit
to the exercise of individual freedom.
The despotism of a majority would
not.
toga county . went republican by in
creased majorities. At Troy as heavy a
vote was polled as was cast in tbe presi

lory, tbe regular Democrat, defeated
Woelan, independent, by 1400 votes. La
Oneida connty tbe Republicans gained
one seat in tbe board of supervisors. Tbe
Democrats in Rochester gained three
seats io tbe com meo council. In Oswego
tne returns are so badly mixed ao nmcial
ceuBt will be necessary to decide as to
the winning candidate. Tbe new Dutch

a Republican majority of 13. At Allien

M. Hammerly, a well-known business man
of Eillsboro, Va., sends this testimony to
the merits of Ayer Sarsaparllla: "Several
year ago, I hurt my leg, the injury leaving
asorewbicbledtoerysipelaa. lly sufferings
were extreme, my leg, from the knee to the
ankle, being a solid sore, whlcli began to ex
tend to other parts of the body. After trying
various remedies, I began taking Ayer
Sarsaparllla, and, before I hail finished the
first bottle, I experienced great relief; the
second bottle effected a complete cure.''
