Although it has been an earnest advocate
of the suspension of silver coinage, the
New York Star throws up the sponge in the
fight and frankly acknowledges that neither
congress nor majority of the people will
ever consent 10 a repeal of the law, and
urges the supporters of suspension to aim
to secure the next best thing in the way of
a compromise. The Star comedies that
public sentiment throughout the South and
West is practically unit against monomet-
alism, and in addition thereto makes
the singular admission that if the
question was submitted to a public
vote in New York city there would be
great majority in favor of the double stand
ard. And what is true of New York is
true of every other city. Whatever may be
the opinions of bankers and capitalists the
earners of wages are everywhere well con-
tented with the silver dollars and are glad
to get them. The Star therefore speaks
wisely when it SAYS: 1.-THE fnanciers of
New York and Boston may as well make
up their minds that the two metals will
continue to be used as money. The thing
for them to do is TO devise some plan by
which that use may be made acceptable 10
all interests and to all classes of the people.
Ii Is not worth while to excite sectional
pre1udices over a question like this. nor TO
arouse the far more dangerous passions
which lie beneath the surface around us. u

HE FALLS PROM GRACE.

Col. BOB INGERsoLL is illustrating the
effect of evil associations. Notwithstand-
ing the coloners heterOdoxy on religious
subjects, it was the universal verdict that
he walked strictly in the paths of moral rec
titude uutil he became associated with
STEPHEN w. DORSEY in some land spec
ulations In New Mexico. Ever since that
unfortunate transaction the eolonei's repu-
tation has been travelling down hill. The
great apostle of free thought has injured
himself as well as his cause by sojourning
too long among the Philistines. The extent
of the decentralization caused by evil
associations is visible in the fact that the
colonel no longer confines his predatory in
vasions to the territory of superstitious be-
levers. but he is raiding the country OF his
own followers. The manner i'm which he
got away with the receipts of the annual
congress of the Liberal league held i'm
Cleveland last October shows that the
colonel has become an adept i'm Dorseyism.
When man abuses the confidence OF his
church in this way the seal of his apostle
ship is destroyed. INeERsoLL's mantle
has dropped from his shoulder and it will
now devolye upon some one else TO take up
the work of disclosing the mistakes that
MOSES made. In the meantime the ortho-
dox people will settle back into the com

He Has the abandonment DueIin
Pistols i'm Washington.

Gen. Logan is looking better than at any
time during the last twelve months. The
manuscript of his book is in the hands of
his publishers, and he is now preparing
himself for a long season of rest. The
general is building a gymnasium i'm the rear
of his house, where he proposes to spend an
hour each day exercising with the clubs and
dumb-bells. Gen. Logan is very fond of
outdoor sports. He is an admirable horse
man and swOrdsman, and knows how to
handle rifle. He is one of the best pistol
shots In the country. He has the hand
soonest dueling pistols in Washington. But
he is the last man to brag of his strenth or
skill. When down at the Hot Springs of
Arkansas few years ago trying to throw
off peculiarly severe attack of rheuma-
tism he astOnished the pistol experts of
that pistOling country.
On one occasion dozen young men were

young men were good shots. but now and
then they would miss the somewhat diff

more chatting the general said:

You hit the bottle if you'll promise me a

The boys accepted the proposition in

''I'll shoot first and, if hit, I'm to shoot
again and again until miss" They had
no objection. so the general fired twelve
consecutive shots, each time breaking a
different bottle, while the young mems ewes

THE CONGO EXPLORATION.

Lieut.. K. II. TAUST. who was commits
stoned by the navy department last spring
to make an exploration of the Congo re-
gion in order to ascertain the condition OF
the people and the prospect of remunera-
tive commercial enterprise. has returned
from his explorations and is now at Brussels,
whittier he has gone at the request OF Sir
FRANCIS DE WILTON to give King LEO
PoLD information on the region OF Stanley
Falls. Lieut.. TAUST confirms Mr.. It's
DEL's statement that the lower Congo is a
worthless. dreary region, but that the eli
mate, scenery and fertility of the upper re-
gion of the Congo is quite marvellous
and capable of yielding immense
wealth to European and American COM
merce. He found hostile feeling among
the natives, and at one place where they
landed the camp was attacked and seven of
his crew were killed. He attributes their
hostility to the fact that his party was mis-
taken for a band of Arab slave steaIers. He
thinks that the construction of a railway Is
practicable. but declines TO give an opinion
as to the cost and difficulties to be encount-
cred until he makes his Official report TO the
United States government. In August,
1884, Lieut.. TAUNT was on board the
Thetis with the Greedy relief expedition,
and in August, 1885, ne was at Stanley
Falls in Central Africa.

There is not a shadow of excuse for the
Pioneer Press attempting to Willy the city
building inspector, simply because that Off
cials report does not tally with statistical
statement published by that paper, relating
to the amount of building done in the city.
AS no building can be erected without first
obtaining a permit from the building in
spector, 1t goes without saying that Mr..
JOHNSON does possess more accurate infor-
nation relating TO that subject than any
other person IN the city. Furthermore. it
is also well known that the building
inspector is capable and conscientious
official, and there is not single reason why
he should even be suspected of doing any
thing that would be to the detriment of the
city. On the contrary his well-knOwn de-
votion to the interests of st. Paul would
prompt'him to give the city the full benefit
of all that it was entitled to receive from
the official records of his Office. In con-
scientious discharge of his duty Mr.. JOHN
SON could do nothing more or nothing less
than to give the facts as they exist. The
fact that the building inspectors figures do
not correspond with the Pioneers is prima
facle evidence that he Is correct.

CARNIVAL RAILROAD RATES.

Now that the weather clerk has fixed
everything all right for the ice palace aud
everything Is propitious for rouslng car
nival. it is time that the railroads were be-
ginning to make their arrangements to
bring people here TO see the show. So far
as the local roads are concerned there is no
trouble about the rates being fixed suffi-
GENTLY low to induce travel, but there is
some uneaslness that the lines belonging 10
the Chicago association may undertake to
discriminate against st. Paul in this mat
ter. There is no reason why St Paul should
not have advantage OF as low rates as New
Orleans has. The ice carnival will be tenfold
more attractive to the people of the United
States and particularly to the people of the
East and South than the New Orleans expOsi-
ton. Pretty much every person that cared
to see the Southern exposition visited il last
winter. The st. Paul ice carnival will be
something new. Nothing like it has ever
been seen In the United States before.
And what is more, ii is not for one winter
alone. but 1t Is to be made a permanent at
traction. Therefore the railroads have as
much interest in making it a success as any
one else. 1t is scarcely possible that they
will fail TO understand their own inter-
ests in this matter and will consent to
fix rates low enough TO give st. Paul an
equal advantage with New Orleans and
other points that are Offering winter attrae-
tions.

DECLARED A DRAW.
Seven Rounds Fought Between
Brady and Cardiff at Fargo.

were fought, in all of which Cardiff seemed
to have q slight advantage, throw

A DoUBLE-ACr srArEsNAS.

Mr.. EvARTs hasn't been in the circus
ring long enough to make an expert two
horse rider. His attempt to get on the other
horse in the silver ring at the Boston BAN
quet has brought Senator BECK to the front
with the statement that when he had con-
cluded his speech on silver coinage in the
senate Mr.. EvARTs was the first one to
come forward with congratulations and the
assurance that he intended to follow BECK
in speech on the same side. The boycott
ting practices of his banker clients in New
York has unsettled Mr.. EvARrs' eonvic-
tons. Mr.. EvARTs' yascillating states
manship reminds us of the soldier, who,
when arraigned on a charge of cowardice in
battle. assured his commander that he had
as brave heart as ever beat in human
breast but he had the misfortune of possess
ing cowardly pair of legs.

WHAT SHE Is NOW.

Her hair is lovely brown that turns
TO gold when the sunshine on il lies
And. fringed with lashes of darker hue
A golden brown are her radiant eyes,
And the milk-white teeth that her smiles lis
close.
Are like pearls eushrined in the heart of
rose
AS fair as the snow are her helpful hands,
And her low, broad brow, and her slender
throat
And she fits about with a fairy grace.
AND her voice is sweet as wild birds
note
Ay. sweeter, you'd say. if you heard her
speak
In the cheeriest way to the weary and weak:
TO the weary and weak, for her life is passed
In scenes the saddest that one could ind.
And the many prayers that are prayed for
her
Are 6reathed by the halt. and manned. and
blind,
Some day. up in heaven. a saint, she will be;
Now only hospital nurse is she.
