1t will be observed that-monomet-
allists have but pne plan to relieve
the Treasury of i!s few surplus silver
dollars, and that is by stopping their
coinage. They don't seem to take
into account what that stoppage
would lead to; that 1t would destroy
the leading industry of two States
and three Territories and paralyze
others directly dependent upon 1t;
that it would be- followed by the deg
radiation Of silver from which it
may never recover, and render mon

lively cheap, and that in enhancing
the purchasing power of gold the
workingmen of he country would

which will follow the demonetiza-
ton Of silver, and that is what MI.

The tug G., B. Stamford arrived last

Stamford left New York with the
barges Ida, Osprey, Dunderberg, and
Hatteras. coal laden from Provi~
dence, Fall River, aud Somerset:
When midway between C0rnheld
and Fault land Island at 6 O'Clock
last evening, the hawser between the
first and second barges parted and
the Ida, Osprey and Dunderberg dis
appeared. 1t Is believed they and
eight men on board are lost. The
barges were owned by Haddock Il

e l. GUARD.

What has become ofthe old Repub-
lican guard? Elections in ten states
have come and gone. and not a word
was heard from General Grant, Ros-
coe Conkling, James G.. Blaine. Ham,
ilton Fish, John A. Logan. Don
Camelson. Bristow, Boutwell, and
others of the old line. What has be-
come Of them: Has Blaine really
determined to devote the rest of his
life to writing history? Has Conk-
ling buried his political ambition and
tempered his disappointment In the
cultivation of musty law books?
Surtly Logan can't be sulking in his
tent, ror Cameron suffering from
malaria! Then what is the matter
with the old guard? Simply policy.
If anyone thinks the men named
have retired from politics he
Is mistaken. But they were
not wanted this fall. Their
presence upon the stump would have
done more harm than good to the
Republican party. It would have
aroused the slumbering embers Of
factional hate and kindled anew the
fires Of factional strife. Stalwart
a d half-breed would have arisen to
confront each other in mortal CON-
bat, and the common enemy would
have gained an uncontested victory.
Policy, simple policy dictated their
absence from the political arena this
year. 1t was we'll conceived and
wisely carried out. The Republicans
were wise. The old guard was held
in reserve. The fight was we'll con-
Quoted without them. But next
year, look out! They will be to the
front to = man. Democrats may
profit by recognizing this fact.

pate the architects and contractors,
the flaws in the iron not being visible

Promised Reform In N. p. Postal
Service.

WASHINGTON, Nov. IL. -- Com
plants have reached the PostOfftce
Department that mails IN the North
ern Pacific road r not properly
worked by the postal clerks, and that
instead Of being distributed at the
various points along the route they
are carried to Portland and stacked
up. Superintendent Thompson says
this state of affairs is brought about
by q combination Of the postal clerks
who purposely neglect their work in
order to compel him to double the
force, which he maintains is already
sufficient TO distribute the mails
properly. However this may tie,
Postmaster General Gresham has
taken the matter in land, and to-
night assigned Assistant Superin-
tendent Jameson to the duty of 60
ing over the whole line Of the road
from st. Paul to Portland and MAX
ing a thorough examination ofthe
postal service. Ii he finds the force
insufficient to properly work the
mails it will be increased. If the
present employees are inefficient they
will be replaced by better men. In
short whatever Is needed to make
the service promptand efficient along
the line will be supplied at once and
all cause of complaint removed.

q. s.. Treasur er's Report.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.-The an
nual report of Wyman, treasurer,
shows that the total net revenue was
1896. z87. 5sl, a decrease Of $5,23 1858.
The only increase In receipts was
from the sale of public lands. The
condition of the treasury and opera
tions thereof are set forth at great
length, but many points Of interest
have been published from time to
time. The treasurer recommends
that an appropriation be made to pay
express charges for worn and mutt
lated Uuited States money and for
the distribution of fractional silver
and minor coins. He also econ
mends the discontinuance of three
cent pieces and that the compensa-
ton and mileage Of mepbers Of Con-
gress be mace by discussing officers
ins;ead of by the treasurer. He
urges the restoration of salaries in
the %treasurer's Office reduced in 1876.

signed to promote Lieutenant Gener-
al Sheridan to the rank OF General
held by bis two predecessors in COM
mand Of the army, Grant and Sher-
a 1t is also proposed to promote
General Hancock to the rank of
Lieutenant General at the same time.
As Sheridan ia considered a Republic
a and Hancock a Democrat, it is
thought party considerations will not
be in the way of these promotions if
both be raised at the same time. The
policy, however, Of perpetuating
special ranks may be seriously ques-
toned and Congress may let the Office
die with the last incumbent.

Ben Butler says he will try again
for the governorship of Massachu-
sets. That he intends to continue in
his crusade against the Tewksbury
tanners the following from Butler
hiLaself will show: "We have had
them all out and measured them, and
in the next Presidential election at
least we shall keep the Republican
men and money at home to take care
of Butler, instead Of sending both
into Ohio and Indiana to corrupt
those states" It seems the old fell
temper is aroused and he pro-
poses to camp on the trail Of The Re
publicans.

Northern Mails.

CHICAGO, Nov. ia Tribune
special from Portland, Oregon, says
There Is great complaint now
throughout the northwe stern coast,
and especially along the line OF the
Northern Pacific west of Helena, at
the gross mismanagement of the pos
tai affairs under the present manage
ment. Only "a route agent is al
lowed with each mail leaving St.
Paul. It is asserted that only half
a car is allowed for the immense
quantity of mail accommodating along
the route, that the route agents are
overwhelmed with work, and it is
totally impossible for them to handle
the mail. About 100 sacks are
brought clear through to Portland
each day, a large portion of which is
hauled past its various destinations.

BURCHARD'S REPORT.

As VAS expected, Director OF the
Mint Burchard, in his annual report,
recommends the repeal of the silver
coinage law. He takes the same old
ground occupied by all mono-metal-
lists, that there has already been more
money coined than al be used; that
the requirements Of the circulation
are more than met ny the money
now coined and in the Treasury. He
says there have been issued 154. :37O.-
500 standard dollars and Ss1, 900, 900
of fractional currency, AMI asserts
that $66, 0GO 900 of this coin lies idle
in the Treasury vaults. We have all
heard this same argument before. It
has been paraded by mono-metallists
with slight variations during the past
three or four years. They don't get
tired harping on the fact that there
are several millions of unemployed
silver dollars in the United States
Treasury vaults, but somehow they
forget to mention that there are
three do]lsrs of idle gold laying In
the same vaults to each dollar
Of silver. And then again, Mr..
Burchard and his anti-silver friends
never have suggested or recommend
ed to Congress to adopt measures to
relieve the treasury Of its surplus of
silver. Probably if he would advise
that body to demand the calling in
OF the $500, OO0, 900 or $3.50, OOo, 900 of
the one and two dollar g~reenhacks
now in circulation it would pass
some measure to accomplish that end
and thus open the door for a corre-
spending amount Of silver dollars or
silver certificates.
There is another fact which Mr..
Burchard very conveniently ignores.
The circulation of national bank
notes will be very materially de-
creased each year to come. The call
ing in of the three per cent. bonds Is
forcing several banks to yield up that
class of securities, and as they can
not be replaced with profit to the

New York Stock Market.

NEW YORK, Nov. 13.-Govern-

attempt to break up prices the mar

business was an advance OF { TO u.
One of the points Of attack by the
bears to-day and yesterday was the
Canada Pacific, and as a part of this
policy a statement Is made in the
morning papers that the Canada Pa
cific company, by the terms of Its
charter, agreed to take and pay for
whatever road the Dominion Gov
eminent might have already COM
pleted. The M,ening Post, on this
subject says: "From u careful read
ing of the company's charter and
submission of it to the judgment Of

terest of the company, we are unable
to find anything to give color to the

point, however will probably be more
stated by official announce
ments before long, both from the

the Dominion government, backed
by British capital, has taken up the
idea that as a political measure, it Is
to have a trans-cOntlnental

Elk GOVERNOR
VIEWS.

The opinions OF Horatio Sey-
mour upon political affairs are re-
garded with a great deal of respect
by the people of all parties. He is
not an aspirant for office, and would
not accept the most exalted in the
land. He was recently interviewed
in New York, and in answer to a
question concerning the next Presi-
dental election, said: II do hope a
man OF experience in public affairs
may be selected. Very much is said
about the old ticket, and objections
are made to Mr.. Tilden on account
of his health. 1t is alleged that he is
infirm. Now, l do not know that
Mr.. Tilden either seeks or would ae-
cept the nomination, but / don't re-
gard the health of the man SC all
important in the performance of the
duties Of his office a. the fact that
he is conversant with pub
lie affairs, and familiar with
the subjects he is likely to
be called upon 10 act On. 1t is a
striking fact that the only two per-
SON whose lives were destroyed by
the pressure Of Presidential duties
were two sturdy soldiers-Taylor and
Harrison. 4 man conversant with
the thirty-five requirements of his Of
fee could better administer the du-
ties Of the Presidential office from q
sick bed than could a healthy man
who went into the position unfamil-
lar with the subjects upon which he
would have to act. We select our
Presidents from the men Of the hour,
and I think that our practice of nom
mating men for the Presidency who
r merely men for the hour, and
not for the times, a very hurt
full one. It forces men into
the Presidential chair because they
have popularity for the moment of
election, and not because they are
trained for the performance Gifts great
duties, and this leads to great evils.
Unframed men must be directed in
their policy by outside influences,
and this lowers the character Of our
Government"
The ex-governor Is right concern
ing the perniocious policy Of politi-
cal leaders in selecting Presidential
candidates from men of che hour
unframed men-because they happen
to be available. It has worked Sc
rious evil and the eyes Of the people
are being opened to the fact 1t may
he inferred from Mr.. Seymour's re-
marks that he considers a sick Tilden
a better man to occupy the Presiden-
tial chair than a healthy, but un-
trained man. There are but few to
dispute the Governors proposition.
