The Silver Mem at Work.

The bureau in the interest of silver coin
age established at Denver, Col, is busy
at work trying to influence public senti-
ment in favor OF free coinage OF silver.
The chairman of the committee IN charge
OF this bureau is ex-senator Tabor, of
Colorado, whose Senatorial term extended
over period Of thirty days, and who be-
came known to the country as the wearer
Of $500 night shirts.
This bureau has sent a circular to all
papers which are supposed to be inter-
ested in having silver made the standard
money Of the country and gold driven
out of circulation, in which the
public is told that the enemies of sill
yer are preparing to elect Congress next
fail, by the expenditure of an unlimited
amount of money that Will suspend silver
coinage. The circular also calls for the
holding of mass meetings throughout
Colorado on Saturday next, for the pur-
pose of organizing and beginning a cam
paign in behalf of silver. The committee
wants money TO expend in circulating
silver literature and employing orators,
who il not ''silver tongued" will. at least,
be able to say something in behalf of sill
YER.
This circular shows who lie spending
money TO influence public sentiment with
respect TO silver. The silverites have
all along been trying TO make it appear
that those In favor OF gold standard
were spending money literally to secure
Legislation against silver. The truth Is,
and they know il, that they are the ones
who are trying 10 accomplish their pur-
poses by the use Of money. What evil
dence have they that the advocates of a
gold standard intend TO spend Fan I'M
limited amount OF money" this fall TO
elect a Congress hostile to silver? None
whatever. What evidence is there that
the silyerites intend 10 spend money
TO secure Legislation more favorable 10
silver than the present law isg The best
OF evidence-the circular of the committee
OF which Mr.. II. A. w. Tabor is chair
man.
The silverites are the ones who are
spending money, and they are trying TO
conceal what they are doing by charging
that the advocates OF the suspension OF
silver coinage propose to spend an I'M
limited amount OF money. 70 secure the
adoption OF their views. The people
should watch the silyerites closely II they
do not want to be deceived.

The adoption OF telephony to communi-
cate between distant points seems to be
getting quite common In Europe, aud
there are signs that IL may after awhile
almost entirely supplant the telegraph
systems. Rheims has been In telephone
communication with Paris for some time
past, and IL lie now In contemplation to
connect Lille with the capital in the same
way. The French postal authorities have,
moreover, opened negotiations with the
Belgian government with the object Of
further extending the northern connection
80 as to take in the leading towns and
cities OF Belgium. The French PROPOSE
lions have been favorably entertained in
Brussels, and there is every probability
that the capital OF Belgium will soon be
brought within speaking distance Of
Paris. On this side the water several dis
tant lines are In operation for the private
use Of railroads and other corporations.
Steps have been taken towards establish
ing public lines between distant cities,
but II seems there are practical and legal
difficulties in the way Of such enterprises,
the chief Of which, perhaps, is due TO the
fact that there Is a community OF interest
between those who control the telephone
patents In use and the leading telegraph
lines.

Asphalt for Broughton Street,

The City Council has chosen the sheet
asphalt pavement for Broughton street.
The choice is no doubt wise one. That
pavement has ceased to be an experiment.
Wherever it has been tried it has given
satisfaction, and IL has been tried under
almost all conditions Of soil and climate.
Omaha, in the Northwest, where there are
nearly nine months winter, is pleased
with it. and New Orleans, in the South
where there are almost nine months Of
summer, regards 1t as the best pavement
there is.
1t is important that 1t should be laid
properly. IL must have a good base.
Without that 1t may be troublesome.
With that il will give entire satisfaction.
If the city has the money the work of
putting down the pavement ought to be
begun without delay. II we are to have
a good thing that will last we want it
right awav. 1t Is TO be hoped that the
paving of Broughton street will be the be-
ginning Of a system of paving in this city
that will be continued from year TO year
rs the city lie able until all Of the rrinci-
pal streets are paved.

AUToCRAT t. V. PowDERLY.
Manners and Methods OF the Chief Of
the knights of Labor.
From the Ne,o YORK. Graphic.

From the Neto York Graphic.
The following facts regarding the personal
characteristics and administrative methods Of
eX-MayOr Powderly have been gathered from
one for several years a close observer of his
career, although not affiliated with his organi-
cation:
The Supreme Chief of the knights of Labor,
Terence V. POwderly, is a fair-comp eNioned
lght-halred man, short-sighted. wearing light
gold spectaeles. and having the general aD-
pearance of college proft ssor. In will and
manner he is mild, and in mis- speech pleasant
but not fluent. A stranger seeing the slight,
stopped figure bent over the lecture desk
would be astOnished to learn that il was that
Of the ruler of multitudes of stalwarG men
and the greatest director of intelligent
organized labor in. the world. Mr.
PoWderly's election as Mayor OF Scran-
ton was the first distinctive political victory
Tor the American Knights of Labor, and the
executive experience he gained IN that Office
ha> been utilized in he control of the organ
zatlon. Less than three years ago the Knights
were generally believed to be an association
with but slight influence on public or indus
trial AFFAIRS. What systematic and mighty
WOrk has been done in those years is now
plain. n the exercise OF the functions of his
Office Mayor Powderly seems free from vanity
and personal ambition. He never obtrudes
himself upon public demonstrations ana IA
constant IN the cOunseling of mode alton in
CONNECTS with capital 1t is to his freedom
from the ordinary arts and extremes of dema-
gogues that the Grand Master Workman
cheny owes mis- long continued influence over
the knights II the mighty power he wields
shoulds fall into hands less firm or less gentle
the country might have sad occasion to regret
the change before the inevitable reyulsion of
honest labor against violence and unreasOn
should break the power of the order
An authority voluntarily formed that can

baDly power greater than the State which
