GarOiner loral Mems.

Rev. A. l.. Park will deliver his second lecture
at the Congregational church, Friday evening, on
"Itay."
Miss Gardiner in her organ class, viii give seec-
tons from Ilayden's "Oratoria of the Creation,
and the march from Tannhauser, by Wagner.
We have read that "Israel" were travelling
people at one time, but Mr.. Park spoke last Fri
day on Travel and not Israel as the compos-
itor made us say.
Seghing is nearly all gone. Wagons are seen
more frequently than slei!hs on our streets.
Wood hauling is almost at stand still, and all
branches Of trade.
Happy is the man that has a corner in ice. The
warm weather of this week must insure ready
market for all that the present houses will hold.
We hope, howeverno unhealthy excitement will
prevail, for our community have not yet recover
ed from the the effects of the ice fever OF 1874.
The Oldest inhabitaEt has recollection of
such beautiful weather as we have had for several
days past in February, after succession Of so
many warm and delightful days as were granted
us in December and January. The predictions OF
the weather prophets are all at fault. The cold
and snow that "must come" does not come.

stricted legal tender quality and the issue of coin
certificates upon the silver bars deposited at the

for only half customs duties, the balance to be
paid in gold.
The maximum mining capacity Of the present
minis is three millions of silver dollars monthly.
II is not practicable to work the minis at night, on
account of the difficulty of securing experts, and
the danger 10 machinery. The New Orleans mint
could be put in order in ninety days by Congress,
so as to coin a million dollars monthly. There
will be no limitation to the amount OF silver which
could be put into bullion, or stampe mint bars,

Linderman comedies that the Interpretation to
be given to the word bullion would allow this.
Under the present law coin certificates are only
redeemable at the New York sub-tIeasury, and
the government would have to pay transportation
from the San FRANCISCO and Carson mlnts to New
York. If The SILVER dollars are to be coined, the
trade dollars must be Discontinued. DIR. Linder-

The Blaud Bill.

Dr. Linderman director of the mint, expresses
his views on the silver question. lie thinks the
indications are that the Bland BILL with the 4l21.
grains dollar and unlimited legal tender qualities.

but hardly probable, that dollar Of different
weight may be substituted but there will be no
Limitation TO the legal tender quality. The ma.
ioriiy Of members favor a return to tue double
standard in the ratio established in 1894.
The present debate has been unusually able

The republican members of Congress
who went to Louisiana year ago have
held conference lately, the object OF
which it is said was to consider the situa-
ton In Louisiana at the present time and
the prosecutions against members of the
Returning Board. Though the meeting
was private some facts connected with it
appear to have leaked out The Tribune
correspondent says; There seems to be
feeling among republican members of
Congress. and especially among those who
participated in this conference, that moth
ing ought to be omitted which can proper
~ be done to assist the members oi the
Returning Board in their present trouble.
Every republican who was present during
the session of the Returning Board, and
who is familiar with the testimony taken
by the committees of Congress last winter
in regard to the alterations in the returns
from Vernon Parish, is of the opinion
that no evidence whatever exists upon
which General Anderson can be Justly
convicted. A careful study of the
evidence presented against him in the
trial now in progress, as reported by
the Associated Press, strengthens this be-
lief. If. under these circumstances, he
should be convicted, as it is now believed
probable that he will be, the feeling is
that gross injustice will be done. which
republicans cannot allow without at least
protest.
Gov. Nichols friends in Washington
assert that he has no sympathy with the
present prosecutions; that they are insti-
gated and carried ON by Bourbon demo
Gratis, who are opposed to him and his ad.
ministration, and that he ought not to be
held responsible for them. This is IN
doubleday true, and should Gen. Anderson
be convicted Gov. Nichols will have an
opportunity to snow how much independ-
and moral courage be has when the ques-
ton of granting a pardon comes before
him.

The terms of peace between Russia and
Turkey are creating ferment in some
qu lrters in Europe. a despatch from
Vienna to the London Times says, "the
Russian conditions seem to contain much
that can scarcely DE brought into harmony
with the interests of Austria, being aher
calculated to sow seeds OF fresh troubles
than to promote real and lasting peace.
They destroy Ottoman power in Europe
without substituting anything in its place
possessing guarantees of stability. The
smaller States would receive just enough to
make them wish for more. while Bulga-
ria. the largest oflhem in extent and pop
ulation would become little more than
Russian dependency. Restoration
to the Gar of Bessarabia. with
out due equivalent to Roumania,
would make Russia mistress of the mouth
of the Danube. Thus, in the very pre-.
liminaries themselves, there is much that
must lead to discussion between Austria
aud Russia And the same must be the
the case, though, perhaps, to lesser de
gree, with the other powers
