Mr.. Sherman Explains the Measure.

speciaI to tue indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, JAM Ex-senator John Sher-
man was seen tonight by your correspondent,
and asked to explain the object of the bill intro
duced in the Senate by him to-day. The Senator
replied:
Its provisions are simply, first, the suspen-
sion of the coinage; second. the issue Of coin cer-
tifcates upon silver bullion, and last. the issue
of similar certificates upon gold or silver con or
gold bullion deposited with the Treasurer as se-
curity. The bill authorizes the purchase of
from two to four million troy ounces of silver
bullion each month, instead of the purchase of
so many dollars worth, as now provided by law.
BY fixing the standard of purchase at the ounce,
believe more stable arrangement is made"

port OF the silver men, Senator?'

Mr.. Gladstone's Irish Programme.

London Cable Special
Mr. Gladstone is willing to assume Office but
he is also resolved that he will not do so unless
he is able to surround himself with colleagues
who are thoroughly in harmony with his pro-
gramme. This programme will include provis-
ions for the local self-government of Ireland and
a complete agraerian reform, not only for Ire
land but for England and Scotland as well. If,
on the unfolding of his plans. he can obtain
pledges of support from the Parnellites and the
great bulk of the Liberals, Mr. Gladstone will
once more accept the leadership with the desire
of his heart-the pacifcation of Ireland-almost
within his grasp

Philadelphia Times.
What mighty changes can come to
men in a few years in this country.
The marriage of Miss Katie Bantz Da-
Wis, to Lieutenant Brown of the navy,
illustrates this. The bright young
girl who took a husband in Baltimore
is the second daughter of ex-senator
Henry G. Davis, of West Virginia.
She is an interesting young lady, in
heriting many of the traits of her
mother for whom she is named. The
magnificent wedding and the number
of distinguished guests who were there
illustrate n of the singular phases of
American life. Not many years ago
her father was brakeman on the Balti-
more & Ohio railroad, the president Of
which stood at the marriagefeast. He
is a plain, unassuming man, but saw
his second daughter welded with great
ceremony. Hellie, his eldest child, was
at her sisters nuptials. She is the
wife of Stephen B. Elklns, and
there are few more charming wom-
en- In n country than Mrs. ElklnS.
AS Senator Davis looked on at this
wedding cermony, with all it's style
and richness, he must have thought
what a change had come upon him
since he married Miss Katie Bantz, at
Frederick, Nd, when he was q poor
man. Mr.. Blaine once told me that
Senator Davis al in prospective the
richest man in America, and he isnow
IN actual possession of many millions
OF dollars. He has risen to q place
where he car command for his daugh-
ter's wedding the fashionable people
OF the country, as well as men distin-
guished in every walk of life. Yet /
remember that when he was first elect
ed to the United States Senate, in
which body he served twelve years
with great acceptability, those who
believe that book-learning made up
the sum of education sneered at his
lack of rhetoric and good penmanship.
But Davis set al. these people aside
in the race, and, with his homely hab-
it's, grew to be a man of force in every
position which he occupied.

BE PATIENT WITH THE LIVING.

Sweet friend, when thou and art Gono
Beyond earth's weary labor,
When small shall be our need ofgraoe
From comrade or from neighbor,
Passed all the strife, the toll, the care,
And done with all the signing
What tender truth shall we have gained
Alas! by simply dying2
Then lips too chary OF their praise
Will tell our merits over,
And eyes to swift our faults to see
Shall no defect discover;
Then hands that would not lift a stone
Where stones were thick to cumber
Our steep hill path, will scatter flowers
Above our pillowed slumber.
Sweet friend, perchauce both thou and |,
Ere love is past forgiving,
Should take the earnest lesson home-
Be patient ". tn the living!
To-day's reDressed rcbuke may save
Our binding tears tomorrow;
Then patience, cen when keenest edge
May whet a nameless sorrow.
IT'S easy TO be gentle when
Deaths silence shames our clamor,
And easy to discern the best
Through memory's mystic glamoCi
But wise il were for thee and me,
Ere love is past forgiving,
To take the tender lesson home
Be patient with the living!

RecoIleCtions of an Evening with the
Great German Statesman.
Chambers Journal.
Those who have only seen Bismarck
in pictures or heard him speak in the
diet, or ever met him in his walks, on
ly know him from his official side and
as the great statesman and dignitary.
But here, inside his own four walls,
with ample leisure, and surrounded
by celebrated and patriotic men, who
all, more or less, have helped to ad.
wise, combat, or further his work, one
learns to know and recognize in the
prince the real man and intelligent
companion whose mighty intellect
yields the affairs of nations. We
have often heard visitors who were
present at the sittings of the diet de-
clare that nothing surprised them so
much as the information and pathos
of Bismarck's voice when speaking.
His height, his brows, his forehead, his
chest, his speeches, were all far great
or and more powerful than they had
imagined; but his voice, either
when giving u~tterance to the driest
details or when startling his
audience by some passionate ap-
peal, had something marvellous
iy soft and winning in it. And they
are not tar wrong. One can al
ways tell from the princes words, by
sound OF his voice, what his feelings
are at the time. no matter how mod
crate his speech may be, and never
was this more distinct and vivid than
on these Saturday evenings.
Now he approaches our circle. 81

3 few minutes"
The prince was right. Never before
had the necessity Vi familiar and
friendly intercourse been more appar-
ent than during this session. From
various untoward causes the most
trying discords had arisen between
the deputies and the diet. chiefly ow

what goods they could. The fire rapidly spread
from one building to another until the whole side

ANOTHER CLEW.
A NEGRO CHARGED WITH THE
MURDER OF PATTY SCOTT.

special Telegram 70 TIC otatesMan'
SAN ANTONIO, February 2.-Henry Washington,
a negro, has been arrested and jailed on suspicion
that he was implicated in the recent murder OF
Patty Scott at the residence of K. b. Chandler, on
north Flores street. When arrested Washington
had on pair of light colored pants on which were
several large spots of blood and indications show.
ing that they had recently been washed and scraped
with pocket knife to hide the blood. In exposing
the appearance of blood he remarked that be had
scratched his hand on a rose bush, but could not
show the scratch. A room mate of his, named
stories materially different in point of fact re-
garding their whereabouts on the evening of the
murder. The officers have entirely abandoned the
theory that Scott did the murder and are now en-.
deavoring with the above clew to connect Washing
ton with it. He was recently employed as a gar
dener at the Chandler residence, and knew where
the La chet and crowbar were kept-a fact which
gives additional weight to the suspicion, as 1t was
with these instruments the murder was committed
