where his future field Of operations will
be. lie has done good work for the Gov
eminent breaking up illicit distilling in
West Virginia, Virginia and Tennessee,
and has acquired an experience that
makes him valuable employe Of the
Revenue Department. He tells us that
business is looking up quite decidedly at
Nashville, and at various other
Southern points. And speaking Of
this fact, We notice that with
the rest Of tho trade Of the country, the
production OF distilled liquors shows an
unprecedented growth in the year ending
last June, being l,S02,8 gallons, an in.
crease OF more than one.tourth over the
amount manufactured in 1878. The con.
sumption in this country, however, was
little II any above that OF the year before,
as hall the extra product was exported and
fourth left in bond, 50 that the addition
tothe amount used in the United States
was barely 8 per cent or SO. 1t ought not
to be forgOttOn by temperance people that
mere fraction OF this enormous pro-
duct goes down the throat Of Amer
lean drinkers. What are called "high
Wines" "Pure Spirits" and "alcohol," !"
the first Of which is never used as bever-
age, and the last two but slightly, make
up two'thirdS Of the whisky product OF
this country. These three preparations
Of distilled spirits" are used in the arts,
IN manufactures and for host OF purpo-
ses and only contribute to the whisky
drinking Of the population as they are EN-.
PIoyed to doctor other drinks. About
one'third Of the spirits distilled yearly
take the form Of whisky, aud as part Of
lhIsis used in manufactures, it would be Q
liberal estimate to place the amount o.
spirits used as beverage last year at from
l''o0,OOO to 100000 gallons.

Secretary sherman Confident OF Fosters
Election.
WASHINGTON, September l.-Secretary
Sherman was at his desk in the depart,
ment to-day, and was exceedingly good
natured, not to say jovial, in answering
questions Of the many who called upon
him. He looked somewhat iatigued from
his trip through Ohio, but the selt.sa.istied,
complacent smile which he wore in reply.
ing to inquiries about the prospects in
Ohio was marked by all who conversed
with him. He says that he has not the
slightest doubt about the result in
Ohio next month. He found Re-
publicans everywhere enthusiastic and
sanguine OF success. When reminded OF the
fact that Congressman Morrison brought
the intelligence to Washington that the
people outside Of Ohio were making more
fuss" about the coming election than
than those In the State, and that very little
excitement prevailed, especially in the
rural districts, Secretary Sherman replied
that that is unquestionably true in respect
to the Democrats. He found them very
little enthused over the prospects. What
ever excitement they might feel would be
attributable to fear OF defeat. He de.
clined to express any opinion as to
the proportion OF honestmoney Demo-
Gratis that would vote against Ewing.
He thought great many would refuse 10
vote for him, but said that, as general
thing, the mass OF Democrats always voted
the Democratic ticket, regardless OF all
other considerations. In spite Of this,
however, he felt sure that Foster would
be eleted by a good majority. At the
close OF these remarks the Secretary turn.
ed the conversation by referring to the
very excellent showing Of the public debt
statement for the month OF August. He
regarded the decrease OF the debt, S.,
527,S95 %, as very satisfactory, and said
that the decrease would have been much
greater, perhaps exceeding the estimates
had It not been for the large sums paid
for arrearages OF pensions.

Partial Payment Of Salaries In silver
WASHINGTON, September lit is now
the accepted policy of the Government to
pay ten per cent OF all salaries in standard
silver dollars. The President and every
member OF the Cabinet has signified a
willingness to take ten per cent in silver,
although with the President it will be
luite burden, as one.tenth OF his annual
salary in silver will weigh over 800 pounds.
The President says, however, that there
should be no discrimination. This policy
will dispose OF silver as fast as coined, and
put il at once into circulation.
The disbursements for August were
larger than any previous month, amount
ing to nearly Sl,9O00OO. OF this over one
million was paid out on salaries and
checks.
Treasurer CiilGIlan has urged this policy
iOr some time, and is gratitied at the sue
cess Of the experiment. Saturday he took
lly dollars Of his salary in silver. He
says ithas 10 go here and elsewhere. Secre.
tary sherman says that members Of Con-
gress will hereafter be paid one.tenth in
silver like other public servants.
This is a good movement. Since the
passage OF the silver dollar law year
and half ago the mints have produced
upwards Of forty millions Of the new coin.
It lies dead in the Treasury for the most
part The banks do not want it, the peo-
pie do not:want it, and even such lovers Of
cheap currency as Ben Wilson and Ben
Martin do not want it. II about two mil
lions OF half dollars and quarters could be
circulated in West Virginia in place
Of that amount Of National bank notes,
there would be on outCry against the
two Bens. With all the talk about silver
nobody bankers after it. The fact that an
American dollar has not doHar's worth
Of silver in it tends to keep it severely at
home. 1t ought to be reserved for the pay
ment OF Congressman, II foreign nations
should undertake to settle their balances
with usin silver at our standard, we would
lose about 10 per cent by the operation,
and hc mad enough TO go 10 war.

No. 20 Robert street, adjoining Mr.. O'Rea-

Frank was inside, and he was gotten out in

fellow is in the habit of visiting the store
frequently, and last night went in perhaps
unnoticed and fell asleep undiscovered.

Ahern was closing up Mrs. O'Reagan
made inquiry flor her boy and stated she
thought he was in thestore. Ahern replied
he'd looked through the store and he

Robert street. Theodore Sander is the Sec
rotary of the Workingmen and Franklin
Building associations. He has been secre-
tary of the former since April 1st, 1870, and
the meeting Friday night was for
the purpose of paying off in
cash the second series of stock.
Each shareholder received $50 in moaey for
each share, the shares having cost them
$685.. Those who had given mortgages
had their mortgages returned cancelled.
In the midst of this business Albert Schef-

Mr.. Scheffer alluded to tho prosperity of

Gentlemen's Club Rooms.

Among the metropolitan and really progress
sive institutions recently established in St..
Paul, none are worthy of more attention or
more liberal patronage than the st. Paul Read
ing and Club rooms, No. 81 East Third street.
The second ard third floors of the building in
dictated have been recently leased by Mr.. NJ. w.
Avery, with the view Of establishing a pleas
ant and permanent resort for gentlemen. in
clined to the harmless pastimes and amuse.
ments inseparable from the amenaties that
govern society and the rules of social existence.
The club rooms are tastefully furnished and
upholstered in the most approved modern
style and the more substantial surroundings
are delightfully."- contrasted with lively colors
and flowers, which adorn the apartments in
profusion. Several of the rooms are intended
for the practice of games and amusements.
while the Hsthetically inclined are abundantly
provided for in the reading room, where may
be found the principal papers and periodicals
of the day. A billiard room is at hand for the
lovers of the game, and the several rooms are
provided with every modern convenience. The
institution is intended to be purely local. "a
none but members will be permitted to reru-
larry frequent the rooms.
The advantages of such an enterprise are
manifold in number, and the membership fee.
as compared with the pleasure to be derived
from such result, is mere trife. The club
rooms will be strictly irst-class in their man
agement and appointments, and the enterprise
should be literally patronized.

Held for Trial.

Samuel Hopper, the shawl peddler, who
was arrested Friday by Major McIlrath on
the charge Of passing counterfeit trade
dollar on the Windsor hotel watchman, had
his trial yesterday. The evidence was Of
such character that Hopper was held to
answer at the next term of the United States
district court for having counterfeit money
IN his possession. The charge against him
was passing counterfeit money! That
couldn't be clearly proved, as the doubt arose
% to whether he passed it or the watchman
showed the spurious specie. At any rate
Hopper was found to have in his valise q
counterfeit trade dollar and also bogus
metaled half dollar. Hopper explains his
queer ownership BY stating he was once Q
government detective and gained possession
OF the coin in the course Of business. He
will have an opportunity to prove this asser-
ton at the next session of the court in the
