Will Support the President.

1t is stated by prominent Demo
cratic Senator that the reassembling
of Congress will find every member OF
his party in thorough accord with the
determination to support all nomina-
tons of the President, unless il be
plainly shown that such appointments
would be prejudicial 10 the public
service. lie said that those Senators
who had assisted Conkling in his
former contest with the admins ira
ton were now fully aware that they
had made a grave mistake; that there
now was full and complete under
standing between the Democratic
Senators not 20 sustain Conkling nor
any other Republican leader in any
manner or shape against the Presi-
dent. Allusion was also made TO the
proposition Of a resolution by Cock
rell, which would be in the shape OF
an amendment to the constitution,
prohibiting the payment in any shape
of rebel pensions or war claims and
losses, with special prohibition
against secession. This, it was stat
ed, would set that vexed question st
rest forever

The Fraud.

Mr.. Thurlow Weed is being quoted
as saying, upon further investigation,
that there was nothing secret about
the demonstration of silver. He does
not say that. Here is what he does
say, over his own signature:
1T is quite plain that members OF
Congress ought TO have known what
they were doing. though many of them
admit they did not. 1t is equally GER
tain that neither the President, the
press, nor the people understood the
question until it was about to become
a practical one.
1.-The bill to regulate the Govern
ment minis, etc, was prepared under
the direction of the Comptroller of
the Currency Ii contained many
sections and numerous details, more
or less important i'll the management
of minis and assay offices. These de-
tails were gathered from the various
mint and assay officers, in reply TO a
circular from the Comptroller of the
Currency"
But this, be il remembered, is con-
corning the coinage act of 1873, which
simply dropped the silver dollar from
further coinage-it did not demone-
tie it. The demonetizing was effect
ed, says the Cincinnati Times, by the
Revised Statutes, 1874. Revised Stat
utes, of course, ought 10 be nothing
but revision and continuation of the
laws in force The revision was re-
ferred to a committee, reported to
Congress, aud adopted on the credit
of the committee. The immense bulk
of The Statutes, as revised, is never
read through. But this committee,
secretly, surreptitously, and fraudu-
lently dernoneiized the silver dollar,
without any authority of law whatso-
ever. There is where the main fraud
lay and Mr.. Weed is as well convinced
of it as any one.

Enr tho EAcrr

Mr.. EDITOR In response to the
first of your dozen questions:
l. There is no natural disinclina-
ton, or repugnance. in mankind to
receive truth when it is known to be
positive and infalible. Prejudice
may warp the Judgment and cause a
person to accept palatable sephistry
rather than disagreeable verify.
2. Belief savors of neither virtue
nor crime, when it is founded on all
available facts and accessible data.
8. Sincerity is corrolary of belief,
and like any just act is correct and
commendible. 1t is simply duty to
know why before sincere belief pos
sesses you.
4. Sanitary measures are for the
prevention of disease. The question
is trueism. Medication is for the
cure of existing maladies. Sanitary
measures prevent disease else they are
not sanitary.
5. Natural is whatever is according
to the laws of physics. An accom-
plished fact, brought about by pow
er able to set aside the laws of matter
would be called supernatural. Life,
to US, Is yet supernatural, as we do
not know how it is accomplished. To
- ,,t- . 8 cd 10 $40 olnu, n
supernatural. Former anomalies are
many of them present science. How
ever receptions are not supernatural.
Electricity is not supernatural but its
creation is.
7. Mediation and reconciliation
seem to be used relatively. The teach
ing seems to be, God seeks terms of
man and is able to grant conditions.
In this there are but two parties.
s. Most certainly. They are the
sine qua non. A weak stomach and
morbid liver will cause gloom, il! ma
ture, fear aud ignoble qualities to be
in the ascendancy. Salubrieus eli
mates make sound bodies and these
make it possible to acquire intellectu-
al development of a high order. A
sound stomach and healthy liver make
pure conscience possible.
9. Say it yourself. | am conscious
of existence, of entity, without con-
trast.
Ten and eleven are inconsistent.
Indestruclible and having an end do
not flow from each other. Chemical
elements have never been destroyed.
Their forms can be changed by COM
bination only. The molecules of a
mass of iron are undergoing changes.
Motion aud force never cease. Change
of form is perpetual, but chemical ele-
ments are Interchangeable, indestructi-
BILE. OF what is the final form or sub
stance of water no one knows. 1t IS
believed the elements are few. We
have but glimpses of the alchemy of
nature.
IL. If one does evil, with malicious
intent, any actual good arising there
from, does not inure to his credit.
We are evidently free moral agents in
as perfect sense as any human ac-
ton can be.

Senator Plumb Sound in His Financial Views
and viii Stand Boldly Against the
Shylocks

Our newly elected United States
Senator, p. u. Plumb, while on lis
road home, a few DAYS since. was in
tcryiewed by Kansas City Times re-
porter upon several questions of in
terest to Kansas and the West. So
square, open and outspoken was he
touching his position on the silver
bill and other matters that even the
Times was forced into language of
| commentator. The Senator, after
giving The history of the demonetiza-
ton scheme on Wall Street and some
thing of his own experience among
the shylocks of New York, said
1.-The fact is, those eastern bankers,
capitalists and bondholders seem to
have forgetteu that there are any 9TH
er interests TO be consulted except
their own. They make their money
out of the great producing regions
west aud south, and they seem &c
think that is all the rights we have:
that they have all the financial wis
dom. and that The entire legislation
on this subject must be dictated by
them and in their interest. | warned
my friends there that they w.re car
rying this thing zoo far, and that they
did not understand the temper of the
western people; and while | would
not 90 as far as Mr.. Bland did in his
public expression in reply TO the
bankers who visited Washington, still
there was more truth than poetry il
what he said, and that one expression
had wonderful effect in opening the
eyes of the eastern gold men.
1.-The great meeting at Chicago had
good effect, and similar meetings
should be held all over the west be
fore Congress reassembles. Yot
should have one in Kansas City, aus
there ought to be one in every city il
Kansas. am satisfied the people o
my State, and OF Missouri, are yerl
nearly unit on this subject, but they
should give us in Congress all tn,
backing possible. Our delegation j
all right on the silver bill-we arr
solid for it-and Missouri is neasly so
The people OF the west, and many o
OF the east. are with us, and the,
snOulu spcdh Out III 30 uhCSi t"lh 'O'i"
Kansas City, as leading commercial
center Of the Mississippi Valley
: should lead off. You have a grea
and growing young city and her in
terests are closely identified with m,
State. So far as have learned Kan
sas City is very solid on this question
the press, the bankers and the bust
ness men-and you should make your
. selves heard"
The Senator told the Times reporter
that he was opposed to opening th
Indian Territory. He said, and wise
, ly too, that such step at this tim
would half depopulatc Kansas an
, western Missouri.

Popular demonstrations in favor of
the silver dollar are taking place in
various parts Of the West, and the in
tense earnestness of the people in this
matter is shown by the invariably
large attendance called cut and the
strong speeches delivered and resolu-
tons adopted. Congress is receiving
orders from the sovereign people.
