AN INTERESTING SCRAP OF HIS
TORY.

The Washington correspondent OF the
Cleveland Plain Dsaier notes report
submitted from the Senate Committee
on Foreign Affairs which recalls an inter
esting instance OF religious fanaticism in
the United States. 1t is Il simple bill for
the repayment to the Consul at Jerusa-
lem, Victor Beauboucher, OF $3,6lS in
gold, with interest since 1867.
In 1868 there appeared at Jonesport,
Me-, an illterate settlement, one Rev. G.
j. Adams, who soon came to be known as
Parson Adams. Twenty years before be
had lauded the martyr.prophet OF Nauyoo
and was lecturing Mormon elder. Then
he passed through chrysalis stage as
an actor, until he turned up in
this community OF the Pine Tree
Stale, with his energetic coadjutor,
wife, as an ordained Methodist
minister, He soon founded the Church
OF the Messiah. The leading tcnets, be-
lief in which was the sole requisite for
reception into the faith, were immersion
and confidence in his own apostolic char.
acter. He proclaimed that Palestine had
been released from thralldom, that his
flock was OF the tribe OF Ephriam, and
was destined to restore the throne of
David in more than solomonic splendor.
He beguled one hundred and iifty.sx
people OF this simple, moral hamlet to
embark under his guidance for Jaffa, the
seaport OF Jerusalem. The ianatical
devotees sold their little holdings OF land
and their personal effects and saw beatific
visions OF Arcadian content and seraphic
life in paradise regained.
The sequel was the old familiar corol-
larry OF such misguided emigrants sick
ness and destitution with rapid death
following few months sojourn in the
new climate. Then it was that Consul
Beauboucher came to the rescue. He
was a Frenchman who lost leg while
fighting in the Union army, and though
yet owing allegiance to France, President
Lincoln gave him the consulate at Jeru-
salem. He constantly Travelled from the
holy city to the ancient Joppa and ad-
vanced money, for homeward journeys
and to relieve starvation, to the suffering
members OF the Church of the Messiah.
The colony ended in disasters and deaths.
Years ago Charles Sumner had the SEN
ate pass bill to reimburse the Consul,
but not until now has the House been in
duced ia notice the measure. The justice
which has been so tardy and which is
based upon such indisputable vouchers
seems now upon the threshold of fulfill
ment.

Hearst is typical Californian. Coming
TO the State as he was merging from
youth to early manhood, his character
was formed by association with the en-
terprising and adventurous men who
peopled the new Dorado in its Territorial
and early Statehood days. Avoiding
the vices which were so apt to fasten
themselves upon inexperienced youth
in those days Of excitement and
excess. he contracted only those better
habits which his surroundings inspired,
and which, with his industry, clear judg-
ment and indomitable perseverance, ad-
vanced him on the road TO honorable
wealth and finally installed him in the
highest position in the power OF his State
to bestow. Mr.. Hearst is a thoroughbred
Democrat. Defeated by II small major
ity for the nomination for Governor by
General Stoneman, and under circum-
stances which would have caused many
men TO give their successful rival but a
lukc-warm support, il they did not abso-
lu'ely oppose him, MIR. Hearst, true 10 MS
principles, was the first to congratulate
his fortunate opponent, and exerted his
entire personal and political influence /,
together with lavish expenditure OF his
means, to secure his election. His APP
pontment by Governor Stoneman was a
graceful tribute to his manly course as
well as to his fitness for the position.
The new Senator makes no prctentions
to oratory, although he is forcible and
interesting onversationalist. He under
stands, however. the wants, resources
and people OF his State rs well as any
person who has ever resided therein, and
his knowledge, sound judgment and per-
severing industry will make him as use
ful IL representative as could possibly
have been selected.

Scienticfc men have been perplexed
for many years over the phenomenon Of
a certain well at Yakutsk, Siberia. A
Russian merchant in 1928 began to dig
the well, but he gave up the task three
years later, when he dug down 80 feet
and was still in solidly frozen soil. Then
the Russian Academy Of Sciences dug
away at the well for months, but stopped
when it reached depth OF 3S2 feet,
when the ground was still frozen as hard
as rock In 1874 the academy had the
temperature OF the excavation carefully
taken at various depth, and from these
data it was estimated that the ground
was frozen to depth OF 612 feet. AL
though the pole Of the greatest cold is in
this province OF Yakutsk, not even the
terrible severity OF the Siberian winters
could freeze the ground to a depth Of 600
feet. Biologists have decided that the
frozen valley of the lower Lena is forma-
ton of the glacial period. They believe,
in short, that it froze solidly then, and
has never had chance to thaw out.

THE RELATIVE VOTE ON THE
FREE COINAGE BILL.

Our esteemed Republican contempo-
rary this morning in its article on the Free
Coinage bill said that the vote showed
but little attention to party lines. \
comparison of the published vote with
the names and political classification in
the Congressional Directory will show
that this is a mistake. We have care
fully made such comparison and ascer-
tanned that OF the 1876 votes for the bill,
o6 were cast by Democrats and only 30 by
Republican members, showing a majority
so much difference in the negative vote.
Of the l6l the Democrats cast 6S and the
Republicans 93, II very handsome per-
centage, however, in favor of the former.
OF the abscntecs there was large ma
jority OF Democrats, most OF whom doubt
less favored the bill. but had so com
mitted themselves to non-lcgislation
in their groundless fears of the re-
peal of the Bland act, that
while their principles forbid them
from voting against the measure they
for it. The fact s, the Democratic party
is, and always has been, and doubtless
always will be, the friend OF silver coin
age, and it is to that organization bi-met-
alists must look for silver to be placed
upon the same footing as gold as coin
metal. Congressional history shows that
silver was demonetized by the Republi-
can party, and that it was reinstated to
its present restricted condition by Demo-
cratic votes in the ratio of about 80 to 10,
that being about the proportion OF
prcponderance over the Republican
support. The Bland bill went from the
Democratic House to the Republican
Senate, TO all intents and purposes free
coinage measure. In the latter body it
was emasculated to such an extent that
but little OF the original provisions was
left, and IL was only by the smallest pos
sible margin that it was worked through
the Republican branch OF Congress even
in its present unsatisfactory condition. All
OF the restricting amendments were offered
by Republicans, and ii our memory serves
us correctly, Mr.. Blaine was the author
of the one constituting the present maxi.
mum and minimum, and after its adop-
ton his vote was cast against the bill,
The vote on the bill last Thursday is an
other evidence that to the Democratic
party the people OF the silver-producing
States and Territories must look to place
their metal in the position where it right
fully belongs in the currency of the
Nation

THE CAUSE OF 1T.

The present depressed condition Of
trade throughout the country moves GER
tain of our Eastern exchanges to wonder
what the cause can be which leads to
such terrible effects. II they would but
stop to think for moment, nothing could
be more clearly brought to their minds
than that revival of business can never
come on falling market, nor can Il
steady market be maintained on Il di-
minishing supply of money. 1t was the
knowledge of this fact that moved the
Democrats to give their support TO the
unlimited coinage bill which met with
defeat in the House on Thursday.
Our monetary system is based on II
metal whose supply grows less and less
every year, while the demands is constant
ly increasing. For many years the arts
and sciences, with the ordinary loss and
abrasion, have absorbed all OF the annual
productions, so that the sum total has
gradually diminished until the country is
left with less than one-half OF the amount
upon which can be based the currency
necessary to perform its exchanges. And
but for the continued coinage OF $4,000
900 OF silver dollars monthly, the
country would be in sad plight indeed.
Experience teaches wisdom. Look at
the condition OF those European countries
whose alleged statesmen have refused to
accord silver its rightful place by the
side of gold in their monetary systems,
and it is easy to see what they are suffer-
ing from the effects of diminishing sup
ply OF the circulating medium. This is
not the kind OF n feast to which Ameri-
cans should invite themselves. In Eng
land the shops, the mines, the factories
and the fields all bear testimony to stag
nation, and all the evils OF diminishing
values under Il decreasing money
volume. The condition in Germany is
no better The distress among the
laboring classes OF Europe (save in
France, where silver and gold together
are the standard OF values) is extreme
and almost universal, and the wave has
even reached distant India, intensiiying
the mseries OF that English-cursed land.
To this condition OF European misery,
produced largely if not solely by money
based upon gold, American labor and
enterprise must not be brought Not
sufficient TO sustain even in misery the
labor OF the Old World, how can we hope
for revival OF business in this country
by basing our prosperity upon our meagre
pro rata OF it. Not enough for all, each
nation will continue TO struggle for suf-
ticiency, and ii any one succeeds, it will
be at the expense OF the life of another.
The remedy for all this is return 10
the double standard OF values which ex-
listed prior to the demonstration OF the
"dollar OF the daddies," and unlimited
coinage of both metals. To be sure, there
is no hope for legislation in that direction
at the present session of Congress, but
the slim majority by which the unlimited
coinage bill was defeated in the House
the other day is an excellent indication
that the sentiment OF the country is fast
drifting toward free and full acknowl-
edgement OF the necessity of returning
to the bi-metalic system which never
ought TO have been deserted

SENATOR HEARST.

George Hearst, the newly appointed
Senator from California, took the oath of
office yesterday and was duly installed
in his seat oil the Democratic side of the
Senate. The appointment OF Mr. Hearst
was fitting recognition OF his worth as
man, his fidelity to the principles OF his
party, and OF the claims OF Calfornians to
be represented by men who have grown
up with the State and assisted in ele-
yating it to its present standard in the
list OF sovereign commonwealths which
constitute our Federate Union. Mr..

New York Sun (Dem.): at is sim
gular fact" observes our esteemed con-
temporary, the Brooklyn Eagle, "that
nobody has ever seriously thought of the
Hon. George Frisbie Hoar for Pres-

anybody in Brooklyn should not know
that somebody has seriously thought Of
Mr.. Hoar for President. He has rudi-
mentary but well-defned boom, and Of
his many adherents it is only necessary
here to mention the Hon. George Frisbie
Hoar.

A DESPERATE duel has just been fought
between two French cavalry officers who
had quarreled over the pronunciation of
a German word. After the duel, in
which both were severely wounded, il
was discovered that the word was not a
German one at all, but an English word
spelled in imitation OF Irish pronuncia-
ton.
