This Congress does not seem disposed
to do anything to ward of the threatened
silver trouble. 1t is doubtful If IT has
time. An attempt TO repeal or modify
the compulsory silver coinage act would
be productive Of a lengthy debate, and
there Is not time for such debate. The
appropriation bills are in a very back
ward state, ard it will require good man.
agement to get them passed by the day of
adjournment
Even if there were time to consider the
silver question it is scarcely probable
that it would Be considered, because
neither party wants to take hold OF it.
The Republicans want to leave it for Mr..
Cleyeland's administration to deal with,
and the Democrats prefer to know what
Mr.. Cleveland's administration will have
to say about it before attempting TO legis-
late with regard to it.
In financial circles, however, there are
grave apprehensions that trouble from
excessive coinage Of silver viii come be-
fore the next Congress can provide against
it. Indeed, there are those who believe
that much Of the present depression IN
business is due TO the uncertainty with
respect TO the currency.
II the country is forced to a silver stan
dard it is apparent that all values will be
disturbed. For what an investor pays
dollar in gold at present he may be able
u get only a dollar in silver a year hence,
and a dollar in silver would be worth only
- cents. Those, therefore, who have
81.
snail be greater certainty with respect TO
the currency. OF course capitalists
can afford to wait, but those who depend
upon capitalists must suffer. The opinion
is entertained by many inauciers that if
the coinage OF silver were stopped and
confidence in the stability Of the gold
standard restored fresh life would be in
fused into industrial enterprises all over
the country. The strong boxes in bank
vaults would be opened and money would
| be freely invested.
Times are hard because so many people
are unemployed. and so many people are
unemployed because those who control
capital are afraid to make investments
and engage in enterprises. Mr.. Edward
writer on economic subjects, says that
I the difference between good and bad
/ times in a nation which is at peace, con-
I sists mainly in the question whether L
per cent. OF the total population, or 3
I per cent. Of the working force is idle. IF
our population he says lis 5S,0OO,000,
two cents a day profit on each PERSONS
consumption would be S423, 900, 900, in a
| vear-a sum Of profit which would set
every wheel Of industry into most rapid
motion. Two cents a day loss would
/ bankrupt thousands Of merchants, and
| stop more mills and works than are even
now idle"
II the opponents Of silver are right in
| the position they take, the immediate re-
peal Of the compulsory silver coinage act
would be followed by two things: First,
the fear OF the advent of a silver standard
would disappear; and, second, there
would be at once a revival Of business.

LOGAN,S FAIR FOE.
A Pretty Woman Working Against the
Great Defeated at the Illinois CAPITAL

Pretty Woman Working Against the
Great Defeated at the Illinois Capital.
Haines' Lieutenant in his fight for the
Speakership, says a Springfield Ill. let
ter, has been his daughter, a young
woman of strong, rather than handsome
features, but with a magnificent figure
and graceful presence. Miss Haines oc-
cupied a seat in the gallery while the
vote on the Speakership was being taken,
and her erect attitude and anxious eX-
preston indicated her tense, wrOught-up
condition. When the clerk, IN proceed
ing with the call, approached the name of
Sittig, her face became deadly pale and
her hands worked nervously. Sittig's
name being called and no answer given,
the lady sank back exhausted. The eli
max was dramatic. When on the second
ballot all the Democrats had been whip
ped into line and the time came when
Sittig was to cast his vote, if ever
he should, Miss Haines rose to
her feet and looked over at him
much as if her life depended on a word
from him. Fuller, to fOrestall Sittig and
to rob him of his satisfaction, arose and
in neat speech gave Haines the neces-
sary vote. This relieved Miss Haines,
who sat down again, leaned back and
gazed about her triumphantly. Sittig
then arose and voted for Halnes. AS be
did so the lady's face became radiant and
her whole demeanor changed. Two hours
afterward, in the parlor of the Leland,
Miss Haines and Mr.. Sittig met. 'EOh,
Mr.. Sittig," she said, ''when you failed to
vote for father my beart was in my hands.
l looked at him and saw him grow white
about the mouth, as he always does when
he is angry, and then when you arose l
was ready to cry for joy" Just then
Senator Logan passed the couple. swell,
Slttg," said the Black Eagle, 81 see

''Oh, yes" said Sittig, smiling.
"And you'll elect your Senator, will
yOu!'' inquired Logan, politely.

''Well, Wen see about that" jerked out
the angry Logan, as he passed the pair.

The Savannah Kiver Appropriation.

Mr.. r. II. BOgart, who wrote to the
COneressmen from this State on behalf Of
the City Council, urging that the appro-
priation for the Savannah river and har-
Dor be increased to at least 100000, has
received a reply from Representative
Nichols. Mr.. Nichols says that he
agrees with Mr.. Bogart that the apprc-
priation ought to be increased to the sum
named. and tsat he shall exert himself TO
the utmost to secure a much larger ap-
preparation than the river and harbOr bill
at present provides for. Ii he does not
succeed in the House he will cooperate
with Senators Colquitt and Brown in try
ing to have the appropriation increased
in the Senate.
The only hope for getting an increase 10
in the senate. The committee which has
charge Of the bill in the House does not
intend, evidently, to permit the bill to be
amended in the House. Mr.. Willis, the
Chairman. will allow only six hours for
debate. and the greater part Of that time
will be taken up, doubtless, in discussing
the Galveston ha-bOr, Mississippi river,
and Hennepin canal appropriations. The
discussion Of these three appropriations
will arouse so much feeling that it viii be
extremely difficult to get the House to
consider the claims of the Savannah river,
or, in fact. any other Improvement for a
larger appropriation than that provided
in the bill.
If the appropriation Is increased In the
Senate. however, the House doubtless
will agree TO the increase. Mr.. Nichols
saws that the Committee on Rivers and
HarbOrs. in framing their bill, sat with
closed doors. and refused to hear the Rep
.resentatiVes in behalf Of the improve
mcnts Of their respective sections. 1t
seems, therefore, that the needs Of the
Savannah river were not presented to the
committee except in the shape Of the esti-
mates Of the Chief Of Engineers. 1t is to
be hoped that our Senators will be ac-
corded a hearing by the Senate Com
mittee on Commerce, and that
the Savannah river will be dealt with
much more fairly than the Committee on
Rivers and HarbOrs has seen lit to deal
with it. The River and HarbOr Commit
tee appears to have been so much alb
sorbed with Capt. Eads' schemes and in
providing ways fOT Capt. Eads to increase
his fortune that it neglected to give proper
consideration to many public works Of
very great importance.

A few DAYS ago we called attention TO
the plan adopted by the subcommittee OF
the House Appropriations Committee for
cOmpensating the railroads for carrying
the mails. If Congress accepts this plan
the basis of compensation will be the
space occupied by the mails and the speed
at which they are carried. and not their
weight, as at present.
The idea of those who proposed this
plan is to do away with the special fast
mail service and to encourage the rail-
roads to carry the mails IN all parts OF the
country much more rapidly than at pres
ent. The plan seems to be a good one,
but it may not prove to be satisfactory in
practice. There is one thing, for instance,
that appears to have been overlooked by
the committee. 1t is that no authority is
given the Post Office Department tor fix
ing the time at which the mails shall
leave the principal points. Without such
authority, or some law regulating the
matter, the mail trains would be run to
suit the business interests Of the rail-
roads.
The New York mail for this city leaves
New York early in the morning and
reaches here early the following morning.
Ii the fast mail system were abolished
and the new system adopted, even if as
fast time were made as at present, the
mails might not reach here from New
York in time to be distributed until the
second morning after leaving that city.
In fact, the railway authorities who are
l. 81 - "
that the Northern mails would, in all
probability. be twelve hours later in
reaching this city than at present. That
means. Of course, that the Northern mails
would be distributed a day later than at
present. The mails would leave New
York probably as early in the morning as
they do now, but they might remain at
/ Washington several hours.
OF course the business men Of this city
and Of the towns further South would
| suffer serious inconvenience if the North
ern mails were received twenty-four
| hours later than now.
| Our representatives have been cOmmu-
nicated with about the matter and Mr..
Blount has replied. He says that no
provision is made for fast mail
| service because it is not authorized by
law. and would be stricken out by the
House if it were put in the bill. 1t was
not put in the bill by the Appropriations
Committee last year. The Senate inserted
| it and the House cOncurred in the Senate's
| action. MIR. BlOunt expresses the opinion
| that the Senate will insert it again tais
| year and that the House will agree to it.
This is a matter that our business men
cannot allow to 90 by default. Postmas-
| ter General Gresham last year was mainly
instrumental in having an appropriation
made for fast mail for the Atlantic coast
cities. Postmaster General HattOn may
use his influence this year in behalf Of a
| fast mail for this section if he is made TO
understand how necessary to our inter-
| ests a fast mail is. Our Congressman
ought to be urged to do all that is possible
to be done to prevent discontinuance OF
/ our fast mail service.

Florida orange growers have complained
a great deal this year about the poor re-
turns they have received for their fruit.
The shippers, doubtless, are responsible
to a great extent for the low prices OBJ
tanned, because they have not generally
exercised good judgment in distributing
their ments-overstOcking the mar
ket in some places, and leaving it bare in
others. The growers also are not wholly
without fault. They have not always eX-
ercised proper care in picking and packing
the fruit. 4 Brooklyn dealer, however,
saws that the cOnsignees at the North are
mairly responsible for the disastrous
prices that have been received during
the last few weeks. In a communication
10 the New York Commercial Bulletin
he saws: much Of the fruit that has
been sold during the last few weeks has
been frozen, and no other cause, L believe,
has worked so much detriment to the
trade as this one. There has been no
damaging frost this season in the Florida
groves, therefore the responsibility for
this condition is easily placed. Con-
signees should see to this feature of the
business. 1t is not proper handling nor

oranges damaged by frost will command
