Dissatisfaction Because of the Postponing of

Dissatisfaction Because of the Postponing of
Action on the Trade Dollar Bill.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, June 25.-A great deal of dis
satisfaction is expressed in the House over the
action of the Senate in postponing action on the
bill retiring the trade dollar which was passed
by the House some time ago. 1t is understood
thatthis postponement was brought about on
account of the refusal by the House to deduct
the recoinage of the trade dollar from the
amount allowed by the act providing that $2-
100000 worth of bullion shall be coined every
month. The members from the slver-produc-
ing States worked up feeling in favor of this
clause, which amounts to nothing
more nor = less than increasing the
production of the standard silver dollar to the
amount of the recoinage of the trade dollar.
The Senate refuses to allow such an increase.
1t favors the retirement of the trade dollar, but
says the bullion they will make should come out
of the regular monthly coinage. Infationists
say this would contract the currency, notwith-
standing the fact that there are many millions
of trade dollars that cannot be forced into crcu-
lation, because the people prefer paper money.
At the session of Congress next winter there
will be a good-sized fight over this question The
Senate is on the side of the merchants and bust
ness men of the country generally

HOLMAN, THE oBJEcroR.
The Cheap Old Fraud Caught Up by an Ap-
peal to the Record.

The Cheap Old Fraud Caught Up by an APP
peal to the Record.
Special to Minneapolis Tribune.
Phil. Thompson, of Kentucky caught Mr. Hol-
man up cleverly. Mr.. Holman has gained a
cheap reputation by objecting to nearly every
measure that embodies the payment of money,
on the fimsy pretext that job is somewhere
concealed about it; but Mr.. Holman is not con-
sistent. Whenever public building is wanted
in his district, or money can be appropriated for
widening creek in central Indiana, Mr. Hol-
mans voice is hushed in silence. This was nota-
bly, the case during the discussion, few weeks
since, of the public building bill Mr. Holman
opposed every item, until one was reached appro-
priating 500, 600 for postofice at New Albany.
When the vote was taken everybody cast their
eyes in the direction of the grim-looking In
dianian.
He voted ''yea," and chorus of derisive yells
greeted the announcement He sat bolt up
right however, and stared fxedly before him,
without uttering word.
He was not even consistent in his inconsisten-
cies. To-day when the clause in the sundry
civil bill appropriating a months extra pay to
the House employees was under consideration,
Mr.. Holman objected by saying there was mo
law authorizing the payment"
Mr. Thompson, of Kentucky. who sat directly
opposite sprang up instantly and exclaimed:
"Why you made speech in favor of the same
proposition two years ago"
Mr. Holman hotly denied-it
''You did" continued Thompson, land 1 can
prove it by the record"
The record was brought, and sure enough it
was found as Thompson had stated Mr. Hol-
man looked it over very carefully while his face
grew redder and redder. His confusion was
meanwhile increased by the gggles of the little
coterie who had been drawn to the scene FL
nally he threw the book down with a SIAM and
strobe off with the single exclamation that his
remarks had not been properly construed. Then
the crowd gave vent to their merriment by a
series of loud outlaws, while Thompson fred a
parting shot at the retreating statesman by ad
vising him in future to study the Congressional
Record before venturing again on the slippery
ground of law and precedent.

Influential Democrats Who Have Been En-

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON June 25.-It transpires that the
men who have been found guilty of returning
false vouchers and bills for merchandise to the
Navy Department are Democrats. Four of the
leading stationery and drug dealers here-all in
duential Democrats-are under arrest, and it is
said dozen more will be indicted upon the
charge of defrauding the departments in the
sales of supplies. These affairs create local SEN
sations here and have been for several days the
chief topics of conversation. The House, which
has been so ready to investigate everybody and
everything having faltered in its duty because
men high up in their party would be smirched,
Secretary Chandler has appointed board to
make the inquiries.
A law will likely be enacted requiring the
books of all disbursing officers to be audited and
investigated annually The State Legislatures,
it is believed, should pass laws requiring the
books of State, county and municipal organiza-
tions to be looked into by experts every year.

sneak Thieying.

For some time past the citizens of Wa
verify have been pestered and annoyed by
the nefarious operations of gang of sneak
thieves, who INDUCED in stripping clothes
lines and other similar vilainy. Suspicion
pointed toward certain individuals living in
the vicinity, and few days since, officer
Flanders, armed with a search-warrant Wis
tied the residence of VIM. S. Willis, but, af-
ter making thorough search, found nothing.
He then entered into a conversation with
Delmar L. Willis, a young lad of IL son of
VIM. S., and succeeded in obtaining from
him a statement of the whole affair, although
it was quite evident that the father was anx
ious to have the boy hold his peace.
According to the young mans statement
the other parties who were involved were
Elmer Howe and Chas. Culver.
After obtaining this statement, Flanders
insisted on knowing where the stolen goods
were secreted. Young Willis persisted that
he did not know, but was over-persuaded by
the officer to change his opinion in that re
gard and finally acted as pilot to an old
slashing half mile or so distant, where un-
der brush-heap he pointed out hollow log
as the place where the plunder was cached.
Being commanded to enter the log and
bring out its contents. he reluctantlyo beyed,

large quantity of stolen goods, among which
were the following: Two bags of clothing,
a 3-gallon crock of butter, lot of canned
fruit, a valise filed with wearing apparel,
school books and a school bell taken from
the Brummel school house, finger ring
stolen from G. Il. Avery's store in this vii
lage, an elegant feather fan stolen at gath
ering at one of the lakes, a sack of pears, q
valise containing pair of pants and shirt,
stolen from wagon near Jason Sheldon's,
and some other articles. The principal
owners of the goods recovered are l.. Sim
mons, Mrs. Daniels, j. l.. Stanton and Nels
Armstrong.
The boys and old man Willis were ar
rested and lodged in Hanks new and COM
modious hotel.
On Tuesday last they were all arraigned
before Esq. Mason and plead guilty to a
charge of larceny. The old man was charged
with using in his family q roll of butter
stolen by the boys, and was let off with
fine of 81 90 and costs. The three young
men were sentenced TO 80 days each at Ionia.
The people of Waverly will rest easier for
time, and, no doubt, will pronounce Esq.
Mason Just and righteous Judge.

The Mattawan Blaine and Logan Club.

The first regular meeting of the Blaine
and Logan club was held at Phoenix hall on
Saturday evening last. A very large and
orderly crowd was III attendance, goodly
number of ladies being present. G. l.. Eaton,
president of the club, presided. Some very
enjoyable music was furnished by the Mat
tawan band, led by Ed. Bonfey. Some APP
propriate campaign songs were rendered by
the campaign glee club, consisting of Messrs
Joiner, Goodrich, Fraser, and Wheelan, as
sisted by Miss Nina Goodrich at the organ.
The speech of the evening was made by
Frank L. Knappen of Kalamazoo, who gave
very interesting and able address of about
an hour. Evidences of approval were fire.
quently manifested by the audience, and the
general verdict is that the cause of Blaine
and Logan was strengthened by the cogent
and forcible arguments and appropriate IL
lustrations with which Mr.. Knappen's ad-
dress so generously abounded. AS political
speaker Mr. Knappen is remarkably sue
cessful, as he employs none of the slang or
abuse which too frequently characterize the
efforts of public speakers during political
campaigns. Another meeting will be held
on Saturday evening September 27th, when
we hope to have some good speaker address
US. The club now has GA members and is in
a very healthy and satisfactory condition.
