THE SILVER BILL.

We are permitted to make the fol-
lowing extract from a private letter
inst received from Judge Buckner:
Before this reaches you there is
very little doubt but that the silver
bill will have passed both houses by q
two-thirds vote. 1t passed the Sen
ate Saturday morning by more than
two-thlrds, and by Tuesday it will
have gone through the House mill,
by q still larger majority. I do not
think there will be much debate, if
any, in the House, as the whole sub
ject has been thoroughly exhausted
in the Senate. The amendments in
the Senate will be generally accepta-
BILE to the members Of the House and
we shall get through with it, with but
little delay. If Mr.. Hayes even
thought Of vetoing it, he will see that
a veto can hdrt him, but cannot pre-
vent the passage Of the bill. / have
never thought he would veto It, and
am snre he will not think Of it now.
If we can now get q bill through
utilizing the silver bullion and plate
in the country by issuing certificates
for bullion deposited after assay, in
the mints, assay offices and sub-treas-
uries, and make these certificates
good for all debts, public and pi-
.vate, We shall put a stop to the
bankruptcy and pecuniary distress of
the country, in a short time. But
the coinage of silver dollars is so slow
a process that without q repeal Of the
resumption act, business will not re-
vive, and the present pecuniary strin-
gency must continue and grow worse.
Fifteen or twenty millions of silver,
with the stock Of gold we have, or
can obtain by the first Of next year,
can not redeem six hundred and fifty
millions of paper money, for there can
be but little doubt that the demand
for the silver dollar at the Custom
House, will for some time to come,
put silver and gold at par. The chief
benefits our silver legislation is in
the future and not the present. It's
indirect benefits will be much more
than any direct or immediate effects,
as it is notice to the country that
Congress has taken a new departure
and that Wall street will no longer
dictate its legislation. Without some
other silver legislation the repeal OF
the resumption act is absolutely es-
sential to a restoration of confidence
and a return to prosperity. 1t ought
to be repealed in order that this Con-
gress may initiate a financial system,
more in accordance with the popular
demands and the necessities of the
country. But whether the Senate
will repeal il, or amend the bill sent
to them from the House. remains to
be seen. / think they a not fail to
the sting out of it sat least"-in
some way."

THE "HUM" OFTHE GOLD BUG

Dollary dillery dimaby dember, aH.
Fifty Bostonians failed in December
One of the amendments to the new
tariff bill now before the House, is to
change the proposed 20 per cent. ON
type, which would be a reduction of
tive per cent, from the present tariff
to q specific duty oils cents per pound
on news and book type or really about
80 per cent. ad valorem, and so cents
per pound onjob and fancy type, or
from 30 per cent. to 100 per cent. ad
valorem, aecoding to the size and
style of the letter.
This is done i'm order to crush out
the possibility of foreign competition
in type-the very best and cheapest
quality of which is manufactured in
Scotland-a small ring of American
type founders are endeavoring to OBJ
tain from Congress an alteration in
the existing tariff, increasing tho du-
ty upon foreign type so rs to practic-
ally prohibit its Importation.
We hope. the House OF. Representa-
tives viii oppose this very unjust
amendment to the tariff bill,

GERM SYRUP.-No other medi
cine in the world ever had such a ties
of it's curative qualities as Boschee's
German Syrup. In three years Two
million four hundred thousand small
bottles of this medicine was distrib-
uted free Of charge by druggists in
this country to those afflicted with
consumption, asthma, Group, severe
coughs, pneumonia and other diseas-
es vi the throat and lungs, giving The
American people undeniable proof
that German Syrup will cure them.
The result has been thatdruggists in
every town and village in the United
States are recommending it to their
customers. Go to your druggist and
ask what they know aboutit. Sample
bottles 10 cents: regular size IS cents.
Three doses will relieve any case.

THE NEW JAZZ.

The new Jail is completed, and is
not only an ornament to the city, but
it is a cage that would worry the most
experienced Jail breaker. The arch
itecture is the work of D. N. Evans,
and is a perfect work Of mechanism.
The work is strong and yet not UNI
couth.
/. The residence is a two story build
ing 39x21 feet; front story IL feet 5
inches second story 10 feet 8 inches.
The tower is 10x10 feet, and II feet
high. The cell building is 2Sx29
feet, one story high. There ara six
cells 7x6 feet, with hall between the
cells 7x21 feet. The front of each
cell is lattice iron ; and the roof of
the Jail is of tin. The tower is COW
cred with iron castings on top.
There is one cell in the tower, set
apart exclusively for female criminals,
with iron lattice door to same.
The foundation of the Jail is solid
rock, sunk in the ground four feet.
The residence is underlaid with cut
stone. IS inches thick. The founda-
ton of the cell building is made of
stone two feet wide and four feet
thick the space under the iron cell
floor ia solid cut stone tagging; in
an attempt to escape, the prisoners
would have to go through the iron
floor and rock foundation, together
with the foundation wall OF the cell
building and the wall of the Jail build
lug, which is on the outside of the
jail structure. In tact, the building
is so constructed that it is impossible
for prisoners to escape.
The hall is supplied with wa
ter faucets, so that the prisoners can
have water at their pleasure. The
are so arranged that each door
has two fastenings; one that is at
tached to the door, and then there is
a lever that is worked from the out
side of the cells, that locks and un-
locks every door, at the jailor's pleas
ure.
The painting was done by f. T.
the boss painter, in his usual
neat and artistic style. The building
as a whole, is an honor to the archi-
tect, ID. n. Evans, to the painter, +.
L. Gibbs, and to the city of Mexico.
Bob Steele, jailor, has moved his
into the Jail, and is now ready
TO receive boarders. We learn that
there are about six candidates for
board who will be accommodated
soon.
We will now have some place to
keep our prisoners, and not have to
send them off at a heavy expense to
neighboring counties to be kept fer
us and we are sure we will never
have any trouble about prisoners es-
for the builder had in his
mind all the time to make the Jail
proof against the most skilled
''bfeaker," and we think he succeed
ed most admirably.
