It is believed that Congress
will this session make
provision for erecting grand National
Library building, which subject has
been discussed to some extent in
every Congress for the past five years.
A bill has just been INTRODUCED by Mr..
Long, to purchase for $3.50, 900, the
square just east ofthe Capitol grounds.
This square has on it some handsome
residences erected within the past two
years for which Congress 81 will of
course have to pay q stiff price, and
then have them torn down to make
room for the Library building. This
increased cost is due to the folly of
Congress in not buying = the, square
when 1t was TALKED of, and could
have been bought for much less money
three years ago. 1t is but another IL
lustration of the force of the proverb
"penny wise and pound foolish"

Portland Or. News: Late reports
from Washington indicate that q
compromise may be offered by the
Democrats, and accepted by the Re-
publicans, for the admission of Dakota.
But what apology could congress
make to the people of Washington
Territory for their continued ex-
clusion from the Union, if the thinly-
settled Black Hills country was thus
taken in to keep up political equili-
brium? If the principle now set up
is enforced that the politics of a state
must be in harmony with the party
in power in order to obtain recogni-
ton and admission into the Union,
the most dangerous consequences will
ultimately result. The friends OF
Dakota may have to accede to the So
called compromise, but it will be as
full of future trouble as was the old
Missouri Compromise, which was
only fairly settled by the suppression
of the Rebellion.

Elsewhere we remark upon the i'm
iquity of the so-calied free transporta-
ton system, nothwithsta nding the
fact that our pockets are now and for
years have been comfortably filled
with passes, So long. as the system
of given passes exists and we can get
nothing else in payment for the adj
vertising we are continually doing
for railway companies, we expect to
continue to accept and use the passes.
We shall be greately pleased, however,
when the time comes, as we feel sure
it will, when no passes will be issued.
Then we can collect in cash from the
railroads for their advertising,i same
as from other advertisers, and will be
perfectly willing to pay our fare for
the Little travelling we do. In the
next report of the Railroad and Ware
house commissioners we hope to see
something about passes from them.

pldn,t Understand tho G me.

An amusing story is. told OF IN
American millionaire who recently
honored London with visit. AS nc
was walking down one OF the busiest
streets one morning, his eye was al
tracted by an organ-grindcr who was
solemnly and lugubriously playing at
the corner of street. Tho top OF the
organ was covered with q smooth
green cloth, and it was this green
cloth that at once appealed to the in
tellect of the transatlantic Cr9sns.
For him the green cloth suggested
only one thought, and that Thought
was gambling. He fancied himself In
the presence of some pcripatetic roulet
PLAYER, and he could not resist the
temptation of taking a turn. SO he
stopped opposite the musical Italian
and tossed gold coin cheerily on the
green surface of the hurdy-gurdy. The
astonished foreigner stopped playing,
grasped the coin, pocketed it, removed
his hat, grun:ed out some voluable
Tuscan thanks, and resumed his music.
Lost that Time" the millionaire muir
INJURED to himself, and produced an
other coin. He tossed it again upon
the board, from which it was again no
less promptly and no less gratefully
removed by the delighted musician.
The millionaire shook his head. ''Ah,
luck's against me-" he remarked. as
he sent third gold coin to CLEAN for
o moment upon the green surface be-
fore it rapidly disappeared in the ltal-
ian's pocket. Another and another
coin went the same way. without
wearing out the patience of the Amer
lean. But at last, when some six SOW
ereigns had transferred themselves
from his keeping to that of the organ
| grinder, the American bent forward,
and in q tone of the intensest curiosity,
whispered in the ear of the amazed
Italian, 'Say, stranger, what do you
call this game, anyhowP'- Whitehall

The Silver Standard Not Dishonest

st. Louis Republicans: AL debts
are payable in dollars rand the first
dollar known TO the American people
was the silvercoin of that name. 1t
cmt;siaed 37l4 grainssof pure silver
when it was first coined i'll 1885; and
it contains the same amount now-no
more no less. And there has not
been an hour since 1885; one hundred
years ago, when these silver dollars
were not a full legal tender for all OBJ.
legations Indeed, it could not have
been otherwise; for, from 1855 to 1S4s
q period of sixty-four year, silver dol
lars were the only dollars IN existence.
There is not q banker or bondholder
in New York or anywhere else who
ever saw gold dollar till 1919; and
there are probably S0,0O0,000 of the
people of this country who never saw
one at any time.
And yet the people are told that
they are dishonest if they insist on
paying the enormous aggregate of
debts they" owe to the East" in these
original standard and lawful silver
coins. They would violate no law
in doing this, nor would they violate
any moral obligation. But the credi-
tors do not like silver. Gold is worth
20 per cent more and of course, they
would rather have it-and because
/ the West and South the debtor regions
. claim their lawful option, they are
charged with seeking to defraud the
creditor class of one-fifth their honest
dues. In point of fact the case is just
the reverse. The silver dollar is the
real par. and gold is 20 per cent
premium, because il has become COM
paratively scarce-and when the
creditor class demand gold for the
So, 000, 100000 aggregate indebtedness
of the country, they are simply de
handing 20 per cent. or $1,000, OOO, OOC

below the value of gold and silver too
BY the resumption of specie payment
In 1879 and the consequent apprecia
ton of currency to the par OF silver
these debts were increased 10 to 8
per cent. and as if this were no
enough to satisfy the debtor classes
they now demand another increase G
20 per cent. by having their claim
paid in gold-and actually threatel

Excitement in Texas,

Great excitement has been caused
in the vicinity of Paris, Tex, by the
remarkable recovery of Mr.. J. e..
Corley, who was so helpless he could
not turn in bed, or raise his head !;
everybody said he was dying of Con-
sumption. A trial bottle of DIR. Kings
New Discovery was sent him. Find
ing relief, he bought a large bottle
and box of DIR. Kings New Life
Pills; by the time he had taken two
boxes of Pill; and two bottles of the
Discovery, he was well and had gained
in flesh thirty-six pound. Trial Bottles

fault with the railroad and ware
house commissioners, because of ex-
listing abuses in the handling grain.
This we believe to be wrong, for the
commissioners are doing all in their

the commissioners are acting and
not to any negligence on the part OF
