BLISS TESTlFlES AGAIN.
An Inquiry Regarding James G.
Blaine Answered.

Blaine Answered.
WASHINGTON CITY, June 19-George
Bliss appeared before the Springer commit
tee. He put in considerable testimony, ora
and documentary, intended to refute Ker's
charge that he, Bliss, had been recreant i'll
his duty toward ex-senator Dorsey in
the first star-route trial. Bliss had beer
complimented upon his conducting the cases,
and Brewster begged him to remain in
charsl of them. Bliss gave a page of the i'll
side history regarding the removal Of
Marshal Henry, Postmaster Anger and ex
Senator Spencer on his own responsibility.
Bliss asked the president to remove these
gentlemen, ane he did so, The line of exam
nation here suggesting the rumors in regard
to ex-Secretary Blaine having used influence
in Dorsey's favor, question was put:
did MIR. Blaine ever request you to favor
Mr.. Dorsey"
Bliss at once replied: Il have never, since
my connection with the star route cases
spoken to Blaine about them, and never re
ceived a letter from Mr.. Blaine, or any one
else, asking me to favor Dorsey or any of the
star route defendants
This seemed to put an end to that part O.
the inquiry.

The Dubuque Encampmeut.

DUBUQUE, Iowa, June 19.-Rain fell at in
tervals all Wednesday forenoon, placing q
damper upon the ardor of the military en-
campment Nothing was done in camp but
keep out of the wet Unies the weather
clears up outside visitors win be deferred
from coming, and those now here, together
with the city people will be forced
to remain at home, whereby the project will
prove a financial failure. The attractions
are the best ever offered here, and all the
companies expected are in camp, except the
National Rifles of Washington. In case the
weather turns fair the programme may be
extended one day, closing Saturday. Rain
was falling heavily at noon, and the mud
ankle deep.

RU1'LER ON FINANCE.
His Letter Accepting the Greenback
Nomination.


New YORK, June 19.-Gen. B. f. Buffers
response to the nomination for president ten.
dered him by the National Greenback con-
vention, at Indianapolis, has been made pub
lie. In it he devotes much space to the
Greenback question, and after eulogizing the
greenback's services during and since the
war, he refers to the recent decision of the
supreme COURT declaring the use of paper
money in times of peace constitu-
tional, and says that such a
decision justified Greenbackers in saying:
"See, the end of our labors in this regard
has come. so let us rejoice; let those who
aided in this great work press on, and deal
with equally important unsettled aud neces-
sary measures for the welfare of the whole
people," The legal tender, having become
the very foundation of as well as means of
value lntertwined with all business of the
people, the engine of prosperity of the
nation, ii seems to me almost an act of
cruelty again to disturb causeleSsly a
financial question which has been 50 set ut
rest with the assert of all good meu--as
much so as was the question of the right Of
man to hold his brother man in slavery.

THE hanging of California murderer
was useful to the science of surgery His
arm had been fractured a week before in
an effort to escape. After death it was
found that the initial process of healing
had begun, and that this was effected by
the organization of the blood which was
poured out around the break at the time
of the injury. This held the bones in
place, and proves what was not known
before, that prompt adjustment in frac
ture is essential.

A..S a MonopOl'st.

Bay City Tribune: What is there in
the clamor that Gen. Alger Is a monopo-
listp He conducts a large business In
numbering, in which he gives employ
ment to some c. labOrers. Does that
constitute him monopolistp His oper-
atiOns do not prevent any one else en-
gaging in numbering, and compared
with the grand aggregate OF numbering
operations in Michigan his are small.
He has no monopoly for the lumber
market or the market for lumber He
does not raise the horses or manufac-
ture the wagons, chains and machinery
used In his operations. nor does he grow
the corn, oats, and hay his working ami
mails cOnsume, or the fleur. pork. beef,
butter, lard, beans, potatoes, sugar, tea,
coffee and other articles consumed by
his employees In the numbering camps.
These necessary articles, with blankets
and cooking utensils. he is a purchaser
of them at such prices as they command
in the market. He is large purchaser
of them, and IL his operations were to
cease there would be less demand In
Michigan for the articles named. He is
not mcnopolist in any Of the matters
named nor are his operations injurious.
Indeed 1t must be admitted by his most
strenuous enemies that they are posi-
tiyely beneficial, that the state and the
people are benefited by them.
