SILVER DEMONSTRATION.

A Washington journal asserts that the house

monetizatiOn of silver.-Chicago Times.
Subsequent Washington dispatches confirm

PLANTATION Of the precise trick by which the
outrage Is expected to be accomplished. 1t Is,
no doubt, however, Of piece with and fully
as mean as the trick by which silver was de-
monetized twelve years ago.
The object Of Wall street and the gold lords
and bond mOngers all over the world in schem.
ing for the decentralization of silver is of course
well understood. At present silver constitutes
nearly half the metallic circulation of the
world. To demonetize it would wipe out lust
so much money and to exactly the same extent
increase the value of gold, 30 that the present
owners of gold stocks and bonds--in short,
the holders of every species of credit paper
amounting all the world over to thousands of
millions of dollars, would by that one act be
enriched TO the extent of 40 to so per cent on
all their credits, and the debtor classes would
to exactly the same extent be plundered All
the gold Of California and Ausiralia--all the
mineral wealth of Peru, Mexico and the Indies
would be but as drop in the bucket com.
pared to the gains of the money lords by the
success Of this nefarOus scheme. 1t is the
most gigantic scheme of plumber the world has
ever been called upon to contemplate.
No trick, no device, no cunning, however,
will make that scheme permanently success.

proof 10 batch OF political hGcksters who
undertook to bedaub the Judicial ermine with
the filth of party politics. The attempted ex
machine by the party organs is as ridiculous
as amusing. Busy times among the farmers
and lack of interest in the election are among
the more common excuses offered, but the
main on is, that the 'liquor interest went
solid for Craig" This maythave had some
influence in Peoria, Peru, ana a few other
cities, but is that why such solid republican
as well as temperance counties as Knox, Blu.
reau, Henderson and Mercer should vote
for Craig? The result would not have
varied five hundred votes If temperance had
never been talked of, for the votes the 'liquor
interest" gave Craig was largely balanced by
the zeal with which the prohibihonists worked
against HIM. The explanation of the disaster
is exactly hit by the Chicago Times, when 1t
says "The republicans put forward party

Thursday was notable day in the history OF
st. COLUMBIA Catholic church, of this city, and
one of deep interest to Catholics of this city and
county. For years the parish has been in need
of larger church aud more beautiful house of

growing congregation for room to seat worship
pers and to conform more to the natural taste
rregation whose members have during the past
years increased so rapidly in wealth and refine
ment Such a church has been long IN cOntem-

for = magnificent stone structure, of large dimen-
sions, great architectural beauty and elegance Of
finish; and foundations were laid in accordance
with that plan. Changes in both diocese and
parish put u stop to the work for a time ana have
caused some alterations in the plans. Yet the
necessity for new church is as great, If not
greater, than ever, ana the determination OF the
parish to have u new church has never wavered.
During the spring the changes in the founda-
ton were made, and the contract let for the su-
perstructure; and on Thursday last the corner
stone for the new house was laid with imposing
ceremonies.

The position of England on the Egyptian

Europe rs well Us of this country rs one of

in his opposition to Arab Bey with promises
OF English and French support when the
crisis came, England abandoned him to the
mercy of that military adventurer and called
for conference of the European powers TO
settle the Egyptian question instead of boldly
landing an army of her own at Alexandria

The powers are prompt enough with favorable
responses to the invitation to the conference,

to bother themselves about Egypt, as the affair
is his own, and he has sent his deputies as
well as an army to reasSert his full power In
that country, which under Ismal Pasha he
had about surrendered. The general expec-
