CONGRESS WON'T MEET TILL OCT
RER,
With no Stealing the Army will be A
Right

WAsHINGToN, May 4-The cabinet was
in session nearly three hours to-day, and it
was decided to postpone the extra session
Of congress until the 18th of October.
This change of the original programme
was made upon careful consideration of
the general interests of the country, and
with almost a unanimous desire of the
business community as well as of members
of congress themselves as far as they could
be consulted, that there should be no ses-
sion of congress this summer, 1t was
ascertained that without any immediate
appropriation of money the army could be
clothed and supported with all its neces-
saries. and that until the 18th Of
Oct that only one regular pay day has
to be passed It was also considered that
if congress meets in October, it may re-
main in continual session and finish its
business before next summer, so as tc
avoid the inconvenience of the hot season

turning home about dusk, accompanied by
her little daughter, six years old, Graves

l ventured to remark.
Eyes; although I see grave Difficult.
ties in the way of that. The restora.
ton Of silver to it's old place in our
system will not cure the evils which
it's decentralization produced. Re.
monetization may even have the effect
Of impairing our credit. But for the
law Of 1873 no such danger would now
threaten u.s.
l asked: "Would you have the
silver dollar of the same value as the
gold dollar, or would you have two
standards as we'll as two coins!''
II would have them of the same
value, if possible; but the determine
ton Of that value is part Of the prob
lem, as [ have tried to explain. The
value which silver would have if it
were restored to it's old place cannot
be ascertained by the price it brings,
now that it is demonetized. Idesire
the restoration Of silver, not as a
means Of avoiding the payment of
any part Of our just debts, but because
silver is getting to be one of the great
products Of our country, and it is not
desirable that the uses of any of our
great products should be lessened.''
These are Gov. Seymour's opinions
on the silver question.

THE POWER OF MONEY.
Henry Cary Baird says:

MWh lille association with his fellow
men is the first and greatest need of
man, money is the necessary instru-
ment of association. Limit the vol
ume Of this instrument and the power
to command association will pass into
the hands Of those who have control
OF it. Place the control Of association
in the hands of a given number of men,
and they will command the terms on
which men shall associate, i. e. the dis
tribution of the products of the asso-
ciatiOn~ The man becOmesa slave to
the holder Of this power. This is
what the mass of men have been since
man came into this wretched, unjust
slave in Turkey than in Italy. more
a slave in Germany than in France or
Belgium. Even in England, bad as
his lot is, he is less Il slave than in Ire
land. His slavery always increase in
the direct ratio of the absence of ma
chinery and of real money ii. e. legal
tender money!. England enslaves her
people by placing an arbitrary limit on
real money, and none on bank credit.
We have done the same. In both coun-
tries the credit system is now broken
down, and the poor and the hitherto
rich owners of all kinds of property
except money and United States and
few other bonds, are being involved
in ruin. The millionaire owner of real
estate in New York is us effectually

tramp or railroad rioter, with all of

ment of ociation-money. and if

overthrow me III ct arms, | will break

ANOTHER WHAT WAS 1T,

Mr.. Henry Woodward owns 4 stock
ranch in the Indian territory. in the
Peoria nation. on which is situated
the big sulphur spring. The spring
is surrounded by quagmire, which
is very deep and s'slushy-" and so soft
that it will not bear any considerable
weight. Mr.. w. lately undertook to
curD up the spring in order to get wa
ter more easily, and while moving in
the mire came upon what appeared to
be an enormous bone. He at once be-
gan an examination which disclosed
the startling fact that it was the head
of some mammoth beast. His curios-
ity was aroused. and, with the assist.
lnce of three other men he began the
work of excavation. For four DAYS
hey worked, but did not succeed in
bringing the monster to the surface.
They threw Off the mari, but could

lace and the spinal column attached

lrown off from the body to the
myth of twenty feet, but still the
