A GREAT NEWSPAPER.

The New York Times had a pecu.
liar start. Six men met in the Direc.
tors' room of a bank, In. a contract
written on one side of sheet of letter
paper an agreement was made to start
daily paper, to be called the Times.
Raymond was to be editor-in.chief.
and was not to be interfered with.
George Jones was to be the publisher,
and an autocrat in that department.
That contract still exists, and no other
basis has the Times to stand upon.
The original subscription was eaten up
in a month. The first year the stock
holders did little else but put their
hands in their pockets, from week to
week, for the deficit. Then the tido
began to tnrn. The value of the pa.
per now is seen in the long contest
over the few shares connected with an
estate that gave the controlling inter-
est to whoever held them.

The meeting was unexpected and most
cordial. They have not seen each

Austria and the other in England.
They have been since their arrival in
this country hunting each other, with

SENATE.

Washington, July IA. Sherman
submitted the report of the conference
committee on the Joint resolution for
the issue of silver coin. Bogy said he
concurred in the report, although it
did not accomplish the object he de-
sired, which was to make silver legal
tender for any amount. He concurred
in the report because the session was
far advanced and he felt the necessity
of providing subsidiary coin for the
people.
Jones also spoke in opposition, when
the report was agreed to and the i'm

the legality of the proceedings. The
court thereupon vacated orders to obey
the proceedings and the motion to

est price. Should the United States at
this time return to q double standard,
it would be placed in the same embar-
RAISING position which France now
holds. If the nations which still
maintain a double standard continue to
adhere to it the gold they have now
in circulation will disappear and be
thrown in large quantities upon the
English and other markets, including
the United States. This would tend
strongly to restore the equilibrium
between the two metals throughout
Europe. If the United States adheres
to the present policy the great decline
in value Of silver may, by causing an
accumulation of gold in England and
this country, make it easier than ii
otherwise would have been for the
United States to resume specie pay
at some subsequent date not far in the
future.

Col A. b. Smedley, lecturer of the ma.
tonal grange, lectured at seven difere
places in Maine after leaving Vermont.
Very large audiences awaited him, and the
farmers OF Maine were very enthusiastic in
their reception of so noted lecturer. The
Dirigo Rural gives glowing description of
his tour through Maine aud says, livery
where the people are invoking blessings on
the executive committee that IN their wis.
dom they have sent the national lecturer
forth, as among that portion Of the people
who were as sheep dumb before their shear.
ers.' His presence among them has, every
where, given strength and encouragement
and his words Of wisdom have been as glad
tidiDgs of great joy to the farmers of Maine,
whose lives have, as a rule, been only MI un.
ceasng, cherries struggle with no hope for
better things for their children, unless they
could succeed in fixing their identity with
some other class or profession. We hear
from those who listened to Col Smsdley only
one universal applause of the lecture and one
universal regret that ho could not be with
us longer, and that every farmer could not
have heard him, bat even this flying visit
has done us incalculable good 1t has awsk-
ened aspirations aud desires that can never
be appeased until the farmer is elevated to
his proper plane" We can endorse all the
Rural says in regard to the worthy national
lecturer. He will do great work wherever
be travels and lectures. HIS lectures sug-
gest to US the query, can Col Smedley do all
the work Of that kind necessary to be done 2
Have we not many other men ready aud
willing to work for small compensation and
expenses, and give lectures which will inter.
est and instruct the Patrons. Every grange
in the country desirse lecturer to visit il I;
arouse the interest felt in the order by the
members, instruct them, and snlighten the
public in respect TO our aims and purposes.
Each state should make provision for then,
and employ them. Select good, earnest
workers who can speak and instruct in the
work Of the order, whose whole souls are 10
the work, and have them visit the different
oranges in the state and arouse them to
action. But few state oranges to-day could
adopt such a course AZ there IS little or no
money 10 the treasury TO pay for such lec-
lures. When the grange public see the Ne
cessity Of such lectures, they will provide
money To pay for them, and will not heed
the cry Of those who would break down our
order by dePrivng it OF the small pittancs
that is to-day paid into the grange treas.
