Philadelphia Times.
AS the commerce of the Mississippi river has
been superseded more and more each year by the
railroads, the people living on the banks of this
hayward stream simply ask the United States
government to spend millions of dollars for their
benefit without conserving any useful public
purpose. AS the Commission was appointed to
secure this result. its members may fairly con-
graduate themselves that they have succeeded in
their mission. But j. is luxury which the
United States scarcely afford.

advertiser, George M. o. Bradovich. and a
correspondence was established. Finally
% Lizzie" agreed to meet the youth in San
francisco. and Bradovich RENTED $40 to
pay travelling expenses. The charmer, how
ever, failed to arrive. and the advertiser
repaired to Lockeford to learn the cause of
his disappointment. There he ascertained
that Lizzie" is q man. The most aston

Jones gave up the $40, but has been found

A special correspondent of the Ne

writes as follows from Washington:
The Latin Union expires by limitatsd
on the 1st Of next January, unless
should be continued by q vote of the 10
ing of delegates to be held in Paris on Il
18th Of this month. Z
Silver men here incline to the belief That
it will not be continued, and that with its
fall all their hopes of assistance from Eu-
rope in the maintenance of silver coinage
will come to an end. In that case they
acknowledge that the United States must
face the problem alone, and they are con-
sidering plans for that end.
They claim as Important elements on the
silver problem in this country:
/. That the people of the West and
Southwest will not tolerate the exclusion
OF silver from the currency or the cessation
OF silver coinage.
2. That the people demand the continu-
ance of the small note circulation as q con-
~venience they will not do without.

4. Leading silver men are therefore cast
ing about for some plan by which they
may secure the unlimited coinage. or at
least use in the circulation, of silver at a
rate which would make the silver and gold
dollar of equal value in the worlds
markets.
5. The Latin Union failing. they are
looking toward Mexico, Central and South
America as countries with which they
believe this Government might make
monetary arrangements, having in view
the coinage Of q silver dollar of uniform
value for all those countries and the
United States.
Finally, they say confidently that the
nsxt House Of Representatives will refuse
10 stop the coinage OF silver.
