Trade Dollars.

WASHINGTON, Jan. Representa-
tive Bland to-day had an interview with
Mr.. Burchard, director of the mint, in
regard to the number of trade dollars
now in circulation. The latter expressed
the opinion that between 5000, 600 and
100000 were out in the hands of
tradesmen and the people generally, in
stead of in the possession of specula-
tors. The remainder of the 50, 900, o00
coined, he thought, had been exported
or remelted. Mr.. Bland says that it is
questionable whether the Government,
having issued the trade dollar with the
stamp of the government upon it, could
not be required to take it for government
dues at the nominal value of 81.

Sympathy for Willard.

New YORK, Jan. 3.-The resigna-
ton of Henry Willard will positively be
presented tomorrow to the meeting of
the Northern Pacific stockholders.
There is a growing feeling of sympathy
for Mr., Willard Many of those who
have lost heavily by his management
still maintain belief in his integrity. Ii
is said that Mr.. Willard is poor man;
that the fortune he created in so short
a time has crumbled to the dust; that he
does not even own the house in which
he lives, and that the 100000 he set
tied on his wife has disappeared also;
that Mr.. Willard is an honest man and
has not created a fortune ont of his
friends; that bis great losses, coupled
with the great fall he has suffered in
public estimation, has completely shat
tered him. He is actually dazed at his
position and far from being hioformer
self As an explanatory of his fall they
say he is visionary man and his en-
thusiasm ran away with his judgment.

Fire i'm Milwaukee.

MILwACKEE, Wis. Jan. "A few
minutes before l o'clock this morning
smoke was discovered issuing from the
rear of the large building on East Water
street, near the Kirby House, occupied
by the mandatory of Schultz d Co,
and other establishments. The terrible
cold-the mercury standing at about
10 below zero made the work of the
firemen exceedingly difficult At this
hour the fire is still burning. but under
control. The building was occupied by
the shoe store of Mast & CO., one of the
largest establishments of the kind in
the city; the book bindery of Razall x
Co, and the knit-goods factory of Goetz

known, and it is impossible to obtain

SUDDrpSSing Lotteries.

LOUISVILLE, Ky, Jan. A. The Post
Office Department has swooped down
upon the lottery men of this city. War
rem 2. Edgerton, Inspector of the Post
Office Department for this district, to-
day filed affidavits in the Circuit Court
and caused the arrest of j. j. Douglass
and w. Scott Glore, of the Henry Col
lege Lottery Company of this city, and
Joe kiffin, of the Louisiana State Lot
terry, charging each with having vio-
lated the law in sending lottery circu-
lars through the mail. The presecu-
tons are exactly similar to those re-
Gently instituted in Chicago. Gen.
Edgarton declares that it is the deter
mination of the Postmaster-G General to
see the law carried out to the letter, and
if possible eXterminate the lottery BUSH

fine of from 800 to $500 with costs of
prosecution.

An Archaeological Discovery in Wisconsin

NEW HoLsTEIN, Wis, Jan. Sin the
Town of New Holstein, Calumet County
twenty-five ancient stone implements
have been found which have an average
length of seven inches and an average
width of two and one-quarter inches,
They were evidently intended for knives
and forks. The stone out of which they
were cut is of varigated slate color and
somewhat translucent. III. Hayssen, to
whose collection of prehistoric curicsi-
ties they have been added, states that
in his collection of 1000 flint nipple
ments he has none that equal them in
shape or color of the stone, and that
this is the largest single group of the
kind in any museum in the United
States

A Comet With Two Tails.

ROCHESTER,, N. Y, Dec. 31.-Prof.
Lewis Swift, Director of the Warner
Observatory, has discovered that the
Pons comet, which had a single tail in
1872, now has double tail, the longer
part of which is seven degrees and the
shorter three degrees in length. 1t is
undergoing changes as it approaches
the sun and can be seen with the naked
eye early in the evening. Prof. Swift,
in an interview, asserts that the red
sunsets are due to extraneous matter,
which has come into our atmosphere
and which refracts the red rays of the
sun. What the matter may be it is i'm
possible to say, but it is not the result
of volcanoes or earthquakes.

1t don't mean anything oh no, of
course it don't,-but one can hardly
help remarking that no sooner do the
Democrats obtain control of any branch
of the Government at Washington than
they hasten to restore the Southerners
to power. Look at the House of Repre-
sentatiyes: The South has the Speaker,
with most of the important committees
and clear majority of all the chair
manships; of the forty-four standing
COMMITTEES twenty-seven chairmanships
go to the South, while the North, the
East and the West together, receive but
seventeen. Even the chairman of the
committee on Pensions is an Albanian,
and was captain in the rebel army. 1t
may be doubted whether this unseemly
haste on the part of the Democrats to
place the reins of government in the
hands of their old masters viii not react
to their disadvantage.

Hamilton in his annual message, vigor-

The free trade demagogues have been

that because the west is largely devoted
to agriculture, therefore itmay Recount
ed on to support "a tariff for revenue

in that matter. Prominent opponents

rapid growth of manufacturing interests
in the west. Moreover the west is in
full sympathy with whatever promotes
the good of the common country, and
for that reason, if for no other, would

conclusion that the lady had swallowed
some sort of a reptile. He decided to
perform an operation. which he did to-

large black lizard, six inches in
length. The lady is doing well since
the operation, and the doctor thinks she
will recover, although she passed
through very dangerous operation.

An exchange well says: There is
something mysterious and something
very sad in the downfall of Henry Viii
lard, whose resignation as President of
the Northern Pacific railway was ac-
eepted last week. A few years ago, he
was newspaper correspondent of much
push and brilliancy; few months ago,
he was reputed to be worth S10,000,000,
and entained the celebrities of two hem
ispheres in thoroughly regal manner,
in journey across the American CONT
nent in the cars of the great corpora
ton which was controlled by himself;
but to-day, in his recently-built man
sion worth half million, now no longer
his property, he is mental and physical
wreck and as penniless as a pauper,
''none so poor to do him reverence. ;"
How the great and sudden crash came
to visit this famous railway king, is not
yet definitely known, but an exalted
conception of his power to fight the
Wall Street bears is surmised to have
been the controlling influence.

The pre- ,nderance of the Solid South
in the chalrmanships of the committees
of the lower House of Congress is the
subject of severe criticism, even on the
part of Democrats. But it is perfectly
logical that the part of the country that
furnishes the most Democratic votes
should have the majority of the good
places. Indeed it would not be pre-
sumptuous were the South TO demand
the nomination of Southern man for
the Presidency. BY the aid of the shot
gun they can guarantee to him the en-
tire Southern electoral vote.
