the labor classes in our own State
there il reasonable premise of "a bet

sells be adopted. Even the manufac-
turing interests show q marked i'm.

in wages at numerous factories. Ten

Mr.. Mckay had many good qualities that
endeared him much to his many friends

Where life is death, and death the birth Of

Correspondence of the Beacon. }

ANSAPoLIs, March -
Dear Beacon Fifteen -
and the record of the General Assem-.
bly, Of 1886 will have been made.
When its work has been completed
there will be time enough for criticism.
Thus far, nothing Of any grea. mo,
ment has been accomplished and
naught very bad been done.
The first appropriation bill has
passed the House and been sent to the
Senate, and the second one is before
the House. The Peters Tobacco bill
having passed both Houses only awaits
the signature Of the Governor to make
it law and it is now in order for the
Tobacco market to boom.
A bill to fund the State debt at a
lower rate of interest having been
unanimously reported by the Ways
and Means Committee, has passed the
House. Mr.. Armstrong, Of Washing
ton county, proposed an amendment
to the bill and ably and forcibly sup
ported it but failed to have it carried.
A new militia bill has been favor
ably reported to the House and will
soon pass. A much larger appropria-
tion than usual has been made for the
Militia and among the companies
which are mentioned as coming in for
a share is the Leonardtown Rifles.
The new law makes the term of SER
vice three years and contains other
provisions which will make the Ma
tional Guard anything but play SOL
diers. The drafters of the bill seem
to have thought that if the State sup
ported the Militia y -a.ouiu n.Se It
for use and ne. ornament.
Senators Lane and Hayes have in
PRODUCED bills to take away the State
appropriations from nearly all the
Academies and Colleges. In your
next issue | hope to be able to give
You some definite information as to the
outcome of the scheme.
Your representatives are as well
if not better prepared for the end OF
the session than any other delegation
and will not be bothered during the
closing days with pushing their bills

There has, as yet, been no assessment

less one be brought in this week there
will be none passed.

of the several States.
The debate upon the Edmunds
resolutions, which has continued dur
ing the week, is beginning to grow
wearisome both to the Senators them.
selves and to the general public, as is
attested by the thin sPrinkling Of
people in the galleries and the nun.
Der Of vacant seats on the floor.
The Senate Committee on Com.
merce has been found to be equally
divided upon the question OF report,
ing the Eads ship railway bill, and il
has been decided to materially modify
its provisions. Messrs. Frye and Ken
ma, who have been added to the COM
mittee, are understood to be hostile
to the bill, and the prospects Of its
being favorably reported are thought
to be slight.
The long continued absence of Sem
ator Jones, of FLORIDA, which has been
the subject of universal newspaper
comment since the commencement OF
the session, is beginning to be regard
ed BY his friends in a more serious
light. One of his warmest friends in
the Senate SAYS that he has no doubt
but Mr.. Jones is actually insane. He
ignores every effort made to induce
him to return to Washington. 1t is
thought that had he paid attention ia
his Senatorial duties during the win
ter that he would have had no diff
| ficulty IN securing election to the
Senate for the term beginning next
year. Now, however, his chances are
believed to be hopeless.
Among the bills favorably consid.
efeG BY ::.-S -st~pss Committee on
Invalid Pensions dur.Ga athe -wAak
were bills to increase the rate Of PEN
sion for loss of a leg or an arm; to
increase the pension for the loss of an

Although Thursday vas the forty.

however. the President, accompanied
By Miss Cleveland, Miss Van Vechten.
and Cox and Mrs. Lamont, attended
the "Mikado" performance By the
Emma Abbot Opera Company at the

dental party occupied a private box,
and upon their entrance were warmly
applauded by the audience.

Kansas, introduced in the Senate a
very sensible proposition in the nature
Of an amendment of the constitution,
changing the date for inaugurating

True Value.

The falslty OF the charge 30 oi'on
reiterated during the recent depres-
sion Of the price of silver, that the
standard dollar was worth SO much
less than its real value, is clearly
shown in the fact that now, as the
market price Of bullion rapidly ap-
proacbes the standard value of the
dollar, that its power as currency 49,
and has been, in no wise affected by
the fluctuations in the bullion value
OF the silver in the markets OF the
world. The silver dollar will pur-
chase no more goods to- day and Will
nav no more Indebtedness at this
time, while silver is rapidly nearing
one dollar per ounce, than it would
when the price was at its lowest ebb.
| IL there be any truth III the alarming
statements so persistently made with
regard to the real value of the silver
dollar, it certainly, under these wide
vicissitudes, would have been most
clearly manifested and proven. But
as it's value has not changed in the
Ilcast, and it has performed its func-
tons as perfectly under one condl-
ton as the other, the logical conclu-
sion must be that the charge made
against it was false and groundless.
The recent decline in the price OF
silver bullion, the movement which
was inaugurated and abetted by Its
enemies and which was looked upon
in alarm by many friends of the silver
coinage, has in it's result proven one
of the most beneficial things that
could have TRANSFERRED; it has proven
beyond the question of doubt the
utter absurdity of the so-called argu-
ment made in opposition to It's use;
and has indicated, oy an unanswer-
able evidence, the absolute necessity
for It's free coinage and unlimited
legal tender qualifications. There Is
no Justice in issuing limited coinage
or currency which possesses Limited
powers as currency, and the Govern
ment should take higher position
than to work in the interests OF /
class and should act, always, with the
interests of the whole people constant
lv in view. If we are to have ma
tional currency, by all means let it b'
: currency which shall be recognized
as fully competent to perform thu
purposes for which it was created
