silver Jones Forthcoming Report.
From the Hartford Times.

Senator Jones forthcoming re.
port on the silyerqueStion is looked
for with great interest. 1t will be
Il book of several hundred pages.
and will go into the question in
great detail. 1t will say all that
can be said about silver, and will
recommend a reconciliation of it.
One of the novel things about the
report will be the advocacy of a
new token, or "the money of
science" as Senator Jones calls it,
that will neither be greenbacks nor
gold nor silver. Everybody wants
to know what the new token will
De, but so far the senator has kept
it very quiet. lie will report strong
against any more gold being coined,
on tho ground that gold is too
scarce and not suited for such uses.
The report will be printed in the
latter part Of September.

INTERESTING POLITICAL FIGURES.

Some interesting facts are reycoled in
tho congressional election returns as
published IN the 7HL,mc Almuac, The
largest vote polIcd in any one district
for Congress was in Nebraska, j2GS6,
and the largest vote cast for any one
congressman was for Nh Welch Of that
State, 10000. Mr., Throckmorton, OF
Texas, had the largest majority Of any
candidate, - ,Sj5. The Mormon dele
gate, Mr.. Cannon, of Utah, had major
ity Of 1869, Mr. Buckncr, Of Missouri,
comes next, with 1888; Mr., Cox, OF
New York, next, ~ith 1868 Mr..
Hatcher, OF Missouri, next with 1869.
The largest Republican majority in any
one district was 3,4Sj, for Mr. Ryan, OF
Kansas whose district, in number OF
votes cast, is second only to Nebraska.
The third district in number Of votes
cast is the Sixth Michigan, which cast
1891 votes for a member Of Congress

OF course Democrats and their exno-
nents, the press of the country are
asking themselves the very important
question as to what their duty is under
the decision of the electoral commission
To us it seems very plain one, though
IN every sense the conclusion is dsap.
pointing and Notifying. While it
would be comparatively easy work to
defeat the hnality Of the electoral law
by the resignation of the Democratic
members, or by the refusal of the House
to so on with the count-the votes of
twenty-five States remaining to be
counted or by the election of presi-
dent in the llouse--no election having
been made by the commission; or by
forcing u new election next year-we
are not prepared to recommend any
such conclusion In the FIRST place, two
wrongs never made the second wrong
the right act, In the second place the
remedy is full of danger to the country,
and of no corresponding benefit to the
Democrats. In the third place, there
was u moral agreement to abide by the
decision We have taken the case to n
court which turned out to be neither a
court of equity nor court of law, but
merely returning board upon whom
the two houses of Congress conferred
extraordinary powers. What is done
is beyond present remedy, but if there
is any future to the Democratic party
and any future to the Republican party
Qf Hayes is president), it will sink the
latter to depth so low that the hand
OF no human resurrection will give it
life and health four years to come.

Watching for Grave aobbcrs

Considerable excitement has been
caused recently ut Rising Sun, Ind.
by the robbery OF graves by resurreo.
tionists. The citizens have made
efforts to prevent such occurren, es
Yesterday the body of u little girl was
buried, and the friends hired two men
to watch the grave. Mayor Gillespie
also sent two watchers TO lhe grave, not
knowing OF the action of the relations
OF the deceased, The result was a
f,isillade between the watchers, each
being mistaken for body-snatchers.
Henry Summers, OF the Mayors party,
was slightly wounded, and Joseph
Jones, OF the other party, dangerously
wounded, receiving u whole load OF
shot In the side.

THE CHURCH OF ROME AND THE
NEGROES

Contemplating the activity of the
Catholic church in this country, the
Church journal says: at may not be
generally known that the church of
Rome is laboring most earnestly to get
control of the negroes of the South.
They have already sent into various
Southern States strong body Of priests;
and we are informed that they now
have nearly, if not quite, one hundred
young colored men IN the propaganda
at Rome, preparing for the priesthood.
When these thoroughly trained men
shall return to build up their church
among their own people, there can be
no doubt about the success that awaits
them. What we are failing to do, they
certainly will do. Rome is laborng to
gain the political balance of power in
this line. And this she hopes to do by
means Of the Irish and the negroes.
All who understand the characteristics
OF the colored people, must admit that
the chances Of their being rapidly
brought under the control Of a church
that appeals so strongly to the senses
