It is very clesj game for the gold boarders and bond holders to play, and we will deseru| our fate if we are simple enough ts| be caught by it.
 Searcy Beacon: The silver ques-l tion is the all-absorbing topic in po- litical circles, and is the leading is. sue before Congress now, just as tie, tariff was the leading issue in the. last Congress. If our National 4sx makers would at once decide tori silver alone-allow it's coinage to 9 on--and again turn their attentiW to reducing the high protective tanff on articles Of every day consumptbn, the masses of the people, for whom they are supposed to labor, would be immeasurbly benefited.
 Des Arc Citizen: The silver dol lar is the dollar of the south, It is the poor man s dollar. The banks, brokers and money syndicates may be benefited by curtailing the issue of silver dollars. but the laborSg people of the country will not 1s. The truth is, there are not enough silver dollars in tue south. not enough of money of any kind; so scarce IS money of every kind that the pro. ducer scarcely sees or handles any. He markets his crop, and the price thereof is credited to him on his mer- chants ledger, but he don't see or handle any money. If there were more silver certificates and more money of all kinds we of the soath would see and handle more of It apl be more prosperous. Make mo'.le plenty, and it will seek invest ms in operative enterprises ard rsa estate, and be thrown into cir,culatol and industries. But wher. the vol ume of currency is contrs cted, a fev only handle It, and becomes an CT glne of oppression.
 Washington Press: It may safel be set down that si!vs,r will not su' fer at the hands of uac present COT gress. We seriously doubt if a bii suspending it's coirlage would pas even the republican senate, mucl less the democratic house.

HOME RULE AGITATION.
ParneI Declines ~ Treat Before Pro
posals Arc Made.

LONDON, Jan. GA number OF unoti-
cial Liberal members Of Parliament nave
been making oyertures to the Parnellites
for the cooperation OF the latter in rails
ing question as to home rule during the
debate on the address in reply to the
Queens speech. MIR. Parnen declines to
reply to the Liberal oyerturee unless they
are accompanied by a1 express agree
ment TO gran Ireland nome rule. IL the
Queens speech refers to Ireland, the Par
nellites will await the governments pro-
posals.
IRIsH-AMERICAN REMIrrANCEs.
An Irish banker has sent letters to
newspapers denying the correctness OF
Archbishop Corrigan's estimate that the
lrishAmerIcan remittances amount to
$4,000, 200 annually. He says that the
gross amount of drafts payable on Amer
ican account at all banks in Ireland Is
about $4,000, 900 yearly.
hr. Gladstone's circular TO the Liberal
members OF Parliament requests them to
attend the preliminary meeting on Jan.
IL, and the formal opening of Parliament
on the 21st.
MIR. REDMOND's PLAN.
Mr.. Redmond, member Of Parliament,
addressed National League meeting at
Remington to-day. He said that Ireland
wanted a homo Parliament to regulate in
ternal affairs. while the Parliament at
Westminster dealt with questions Affect
ing the empire. There was middle
course between separation and centrali-
zation. He objected to accepting the
scheme of county government, because, as
the English politicians loresaw, the en-
ergy now devoted to obtaining home rule
would be spent in disputes concerning
county boards.

.CARLISLE'S BIG SECRET.
THE COMMITTEE MEMBER
SHIPS STILL WITHHELD.

No AnnOuneementtO to be Made Until After
the Completion of the Cal of the Two
Remaining States and the Territories
-Chances OF the Porter Relief BIZ.
WARRINGTON, Jan. 6.--The Speaker
went over his committee list again last
night, revising it as he went. 1t is under
stood that no changes were made in the
| chairmanships heretofore telegraphed in
| these dispatches, nor in the Ways and
Means Committee. This morning the list
was practically ready TO be announced,
but the Speaker did not wish to interrupt
the call of States for bills, believing that
the House would desire to take a recess
for day or two upon the announcement
Of the committees. in order to let them get
ready for business. So he withheld the
announcement of the committees, and,
the call of States for bills not having been
completed this afternoon, the committees
viii be announced tomorrow afternoon.
CERTAIN TO ACCEPT.
It is understood that the Speaker has
| been informed by Representative Curtin
that he will accept the Craftsmanship of
| the Committee on Banking and Currency.
1t is said that the thing that finally deter
/ luAliSu Nuls OuI ilu III iaNOi VI acceptance
was an interview he had with Mr.. Randall,
in which the latter gave him very cold
comfort when informed of his disappOint-
ment. In this connection it may be said
that the published statement that Perry
/ Belmont was selected for Chairman of the
Committee on Foreign Affairs upon the
urgent recommendation of Secretary
! Bayard because the latter desired to make
amends to Mr.. Belmont for having refused
! f,n ron aiN I'M al
| State, is without foundation.
NEVER A CANDIDATE.
! Mr.. Belmont never was a candidate for
| First Assistant Secretary OF State. Speak.
| er Carlisle, it Is understood, consulted
| Secretary Bayard about the composition
OF the Committee on Foreign Affairs jus,
as he consulted the other members OF the
! Cabinet about the composition of the CON-
mittees having to do with their affairs
and Secretary Bayard favored Mr.. Bel
mon1s appointment as chairman.
Only two States and the Territories re-
main to he called, but recognition OF the
members who were absent upon recent
! bill days may occupy a couple of hours.
GEN. PoRTER's RELIEF.
Gen. Bragg, Of Wisconsin, who will be
| Chairman of the Committee on Military
Affairs of the House, said tonight that
within the next ten days bill for the res
tOraton OF Fitz John Porter to the army
would be reported from the Com
mittee on Military Affairs to the
House. 1t will be almost precisely
similar to the bill passed by the
last Congress, and vetoed by President
Arthur. The House will pass 1t, Gen,
Bragg says, by very large majority
There will be little delay. he thinks, in
passing it in the Senate. The five Repub.
lcan Senators who voted for it last year
are still there, and Will undoubtedly vote
for it again, so he sees no reason why II
may not be passed there and signed by
the President within the next 80 days.

DOWN BELOW ZERO.
Intensely Cold weathor and Deep Snow
in the Northwest

III NeEbhWGhba
DENVER. COL, Jan. Ca storm Of un-
usual violence prevails in the mountains.
The blockades on the railroads are the
worst known for years. The Signal Ser
vice officer here says the storm originated
IN the Rocky Mountains four DAYS ago
when the first frigid weather began. At
towns in Northern Colorado the themome-
ter varied from 20 to 30 deg. below zero.
At Tennessee Pass, above Leadville, the
mercury was 80 deg. below. This in
tensely cold weather was accompanied by
high winds, blowing from the north. The
zerO-laden winds blowing east and strik-
ing the warmer atmosphere caused a
heavy snow fall in Kansas. The worst
phase of the storm is the necessarily dis
astrOus effect IL will have upon the cattle
interests. 1t Is thought that the storm
will cause a high death rate in Southern
Colorado; not because Of the snow par
ticularly. but because OF the intensely
cold weather and high winds. Along the
Arkansas valley herds are drifting TO the
river and showing unmistakable evidences
OF exposure and fatigue. In the mountain
valleys, where thousands OF cattle were
lately driven from the overstOcked ranges
of the plains, the storm will prove
to be excessively severe. The larger pOr-
ton of these valleys are out Of reach OF
telegraphic communication. In the val
leys heard from, especially in Western
and Northern Colorado, lying west OF the
continental divide, the snow is reported
TO be unusually deep, and all the streams
are frozen. Great loss will undoubtedly
he the result. The unparalleled cold
weather in Northern New Mexico will
cause great damage 10 the mammoth
heads grazing there. Hundreds Of snow
shoveis, dozen snow plows, and all the
locomotives available have left Denver 10
battle with the drifts on the railroads. A
wide scope OF country lying between the
Kansas line aud the base Of the noun
tains escaped with only a few inches OF
snowfall, but was the dominion Of an
arctic wave.
MORE HOPEFUL OUTLOOK.
Although the snow storm has been gen
eral through the Rocky Mountains region
the blOckades caused by drifting have
been confined 10 Kansas and Nebraska.
Trains on the Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy, Atchison. Topeka and Sante re,
and Kansas Pacific railroads were de-
layed from 80 10 y hours. The blOckades
have been raised. however, and this even
ing all trains arrived and departed on
time. Mountain travel was not In The
least delayed, and the snow IL not over
six inches In depth. Cattlemen do not
anticipate any loss OF stock. They find
that the snow In drifting has left plenty OF
grass exposed, which will be sufficient 10
sustain the herds until the snow melts.
THE BLOCKADE RAISED.
KANSAS CITY, MO-, Jan. 6.-The snow
blockade on the Western railroads has
been raised. The last Of the delayed trains
arrived to-day.
SNOW IN ENGLAND.
LONDON, Jan. GA severe snow storm
has prevailed throughout England during
the past eight hours. Railroad traffic IL
greatly impoded, and many telegraph
wires are broken. The snow greatly in
terferes with travel IN London.
