SILVER.
lBr TELEGRAPH TO THE rRTBUSEl
WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-Some Of the Representa-
tves who voted for the Bland Silver Bill in the
House. and few of the men who expect TO support
itiuthe senate, are honest bimetallsts They believe
in doublc-stlndard money! They believe that the
policy adopted by the fathers Of the Republic, Of
making both gold and silver legal tender for the
payment Of debts, was a wise one. They look with
alarm on what they think is the present tendency in
Europe and America to abandon the use Of silver as
money. This class of currency reformers have no
sympathy with the men who support the Bland bill
because they desire a cheaper money IN which 70
paw their debts; but they vote for silver rcmOnetza
ton in its worst form because they are not strong
enough in numbers to pass bill which would repre-
sent their ideas and because they think there will be
q better prospect of securing the restoration of
double standard if they act with the silver men
than If they join with those who oppose the Bland
bill and similar measures.
Unfortunately for themselves and for the country,
these honest bimetallists are wholly mistaken as to
the effect Of the passage of tne Bland bill 0rhe cause
Of the establishment Of dOuble-standard money.
No legislation ever proposed ia this country, not
excepting even the act Of 1873 emitting the silver
dollar from the list Of coins Of the United States
would have proved fatal 20 the concurrent circula
uon Of gold and silver the very bill now pending for
the unlimited issue Of silver dollars. Its effect
would be to carry this country suddenly from gold
10 SILVER standard, from the more valuable to the
less valuable currency.
All Of the advocates of bimetallic currency in
Europe understand this fully One of the ablest of
them. n. Cemuschi, IN his testimony before the
Jones Commss announced this fact in very for
elOie terms lie said: " If you are bimetaIc when
Europe Is gold monometallic you are bimetalc only
IN name You would be silver monometalic country
sueh as India' and the monetary position of the
United States against Europe would be actually the

yesterday morning two search and seizure
cases were tried-the first since the new law
went into effect. Patrick Sullivan and Patrick

judge fined them 500 and cost and sentenced
them for three months in the county Jail. An
appeal was taken in each case. In the case
of Sullivan the County Attorney asked that he
should be sentenced on an old conviction on
which the sentence was suspended on condition
that he should go out of the business. Rather
than have his client sentenced again Mr..
Cleaves appealed, but Mr.. Libby held that there
could be no appeal in such case. The case
was postponed until Friday when it will be ar.

as though all acting should not be emotional!
However the actress who is now delighting the
audiences at the Theatre meets all the require
ments of the term in both its conventional and
its genuine meaning. and our public would only
show proper appreciation of her merits by
nightly filling the house. The failure to do SO
is their loss.

DIR. SCHENCK's STANDARD REMEDIES.
The standard remedies for all diseases of the lungs
are ScHENCK's PULMONIo SYRUP, SCHENCK'S SEA
WEED TONIC, and SCHENCK's MANDRAKE PILLS.
and ftaken before the lungs are destroyed, speedy
cure is effected
To these three medicines DR.. j. II. Schenck,
Philadelphia, owes his unrivalled success in the
treatment of pulmonary diseases.
The Pulmonic Syrup ripens the morbid matter in
the lungs; nature throws it off by easy expectora
ton, for when the phlegm or matter is ripe slight
coughsxill throw it off, the patient has rest and the
lungs begin to heal.
To enable the Pulmonc Syrup to do this, Schenck'
Mandrake Pills and Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic must
be freely used to cleanse the stomach and liver
ScIencks Mandrake Pills act the liver, removing
all distractions, relax the gall bladder, the bile
starts freely, and the liver is soon relieved.
Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic is gentle stimuant
and aterative the alkali of which it is composed
mixes with the food and prevents sourng. 1t assists
the digestion by toning up the stomach to healthy
condition, so that the food and the Pulmonic Syrup
will make good blood; then the lungs heal, and the
patient will surely get well if care is taken to pre-
vent fresh cold.
All who wish to consult DR.. SchencS, either per-
sonally or by letter, do so his principal office
every Monday.
Schenck's medicines are sold by all druggists
throughout the country. na1eod6w2msn
