SILVER AND GOLD.

This boarding of god has already begun.
When the time comes that gold has been
withdrawn from circulation, ben will he
apparent the difference between the real
value of the silver dollar and dollar in
gold, and the two coins will part company.
Gold, still the standard of value and ueces-
sary in our dealings with other countries,
will be at a premium over silver; banks
which have substituted gold for the de-
posits of their customers may pay them
with silver bought with such gold, thus
making handsome profit; rich Spectators
will sell their boarded gold to their neigh
bors, who need it to liquidate their foreign
debts, at ru:nous premium over silver,
and the laboring men and women of the
land, most defenseless of all, will find that
the dollar received for the wage of their
toll has sadly shrunk in its purchasing
power. IL may be said that the latter re-
suit will be but temporary, and that ulti-
mately the price of labor will be adjusted
to the change, but even if this takes place
the wage-worker cannot possibly gain but
mus: inevitably lose, since the price he is
compelled to pay for his living, will not
only be measured in a coin heavily depre-
ciated and tiuctuating and uncertain in its
value, but this uncertainty in the value of
the purchasing medium will be made the
pretext for an advance in prices beyond
that justified by actual depreciation.

THE MORMON QUESTION.

After strong and long reference to the
Mormon question of the President SAYS:
There is no feature of this practice OF the
system which sanctions it which is not op-
posed to al, that is of value in our institu-
tions. There should be no rela xation in
the firm but just execution of the law now
in operation, aud l should be glad to ap-
prove such further discreet legislation as
will rid the country of this blot upon its
fair fame. Since the people uphoding poly
gamy in our territories are reinforced by
immigration from other lands, recon-
mend that law be passed to prevent the
importation of Normons into the country"

AN EttElTI&E NAVY WANTED.

unreservedly shows a great interest in
all that you can tell him about the cap
ital. He has never seen the White
House; and he says very politely that, if
you or your friends haYe any desire to

ately, for he does not intend TO have 1t
managed as q museum, to be entered by
anybody who will fee q servant

ton TO the public exhibition of
the state parlors, whenever they
are not in use. but to have his bed room
and the living apartments of his family
thrown wide open TO whoever cares t0

for the occupants. He has already or
dered that the practice be discontinued

of seats within. They are COM

THE ILLINOIs SITU4TION,

THE ILLINOIS SITUATION.
Chicago News: Scarcely had the last
breath passed from the body of Repre-
sentative Robert E. Logan, yesterday, In
the rotunda Of the capitol at Springfield,
before the politicians were figuring as to
the possible effect il might have upon
the election of q United States senator.
By a compact between the Republicans
and Democrats it was agreed that there
should not be another formal ballot until
next Tuesday. In the meantime the
lawy ers of both sides will devote them
selves to a close study OF the meaning of
the following language of the United
States law on the election of senator:
The person who receives a majority of
all the votes of the joint assembly, q
majority OF all the members elected to
both houses being present and voting,
shall be declared duly elected.
That this sentence admits OF two con-
Atructons is evident on the most casual
reading. What is a majority of all the
members elected TO both houses, 1872 or
1903? Last Wednesday there were 2o4
members who had been elected to the
present assembly. Then 103 constituted
a statutory majority. To-day there are
only 203 members who "were elected to
both houses" This would make 1O2 q
constitutional majority. Republicans
will MAINTAIN that members elected" is
to be construed in the perfect tense,
and that the election must be by
q majority of the full roll OF
both houses. Democrats will hol u that
the statute is to be construed in the pres
snt tense, and that members elected"
means members capable of being present
and voting. There can be little doubt
that Representative Logan's death gives
the Democrats in the house and in JOINT
session. But the Republicans can con-
sole themselves with the reflection that
no Democrat is likely to secure 1O2 votes,
and, further, if he did, and the Demo
cratic construction of the statute pre-
vailed in Springfield, it would be upset
1t Washington, where the senate, having
exclusive jurisdiction over Its own mem
bership, Is Republican and strongly par
