The Silver Question.

We are in receipt of a phamphlet on
the Silver Question written by VIM.
N Stewart If San Francisco, which is
tie clearest expose IF the subject in the
briefest space, that we have ever met
with. This question is being kept in
the back ground as much as possible
by politicians and heavy money syndi
cat w,ile a great ado is made over
tariff and otter minor questions. But
in ality the currency question is the
great over shadowing principle of the
hour in our poll ieal economy. and sill
yer is the pivotal point of that question.
The public debt of the world is stated
by Mr.. Stewart to be $o5 600, 900 ,0O0
and this debt is principally in the
hands of great money syndicates from
the Rothchilds down. It has been the
constant aim of the holders of This
debt to increase it's value, by cnntrac'-
ing the currency. The greater the con-
traction the more of the products of in
dustry dollar will buy. When our
considerably less than one half of the
produces of labor that it will now
hence the holders Of those government
obligations receive much more of the
products of the laborihg millions than
they did when the obligations were
created.
BY putting silver down and gold up
and insisting that their bonds call for
gold only, and demonetizipg silver,
their securities are increased in value.
while business and all classes ofindust-
ny are depressed by necessarily lower
prices. While the interest on the pub
aic debt remains numerically the same.
the difference is constantly widening
between the obligation holders and the
int est payers.
The law creating the bonded debt of
the United States says that the interest
shall be paid in coin. making it option
al for the government to pay either in
gold or silver. There are now lying
idle in the treasury tons Of silver coin.
In June last our government bought
$4,000 600 of gold to pay what fair
construction of the law required to be
paid from the bursting silver vaults OF

Determined Struggle to Prevent the En-

Special to the Indianapolis journal.
WASHINGTON. May 15-The Mormons have
been making one more gasping and strong strug-
gle for the suppression of further legislation to
obliterate their practices in polygamy. For ten
days there have been arguments going on before
the House committee the judiciary in relation
to the Edmunds bill to further restrict or to
more completely suppress polygamy. 1t is plain
that the Mormons have had their wing feathers
cut during the last three years by laws already
in existence, because their horde of agents, and
attorneys. and lobbyists have very materially
decreased. There are only three or four paid
men here now, including the attorneys and the
tight that they have been making is much
weaker than usual When the first Edmunds
bill was under discussion in Congress. and the
Mormon Church had its $5, 100000 of
surplus in the Treasury, and scores
of thousands of members, and it's COM
plete organization, with Its Youngs and
the now escaped Cannon, in active working posi-
tlon, the fight they made was tremendous. Now
the Young family is divided, some of them be-
coming gentiles, and Cannon has escaped and
permitted his friends to pay his large bail bond,
and disorder prevails in the church organization
1t looks as though Mormonism would be stamped
out in this entire country within few years
mittees in Congress, it has been determined that
this new Edmunds bill shall be passed and what
seems to be the last blow given polygamy at
this time. Just now there is good deal of agi-
tatlon among the people here who are in SYM
pathy with the Mormons.

moment for such a course There is an alter

younger, l should strongly desire and urge.
That alternative is to resign Office let the coal-
tion of Harrington and the Tories come in and
see what they can make of it. The coalition
would prove itself impossible in less than a
month. No administration can ever again at
tempt to meet Parliament without some scheme
for the better government of Ireland, and what
scheme that the Radicals in the House of Com
mons are likely to listen to could the Tories and
Harrington agree to bring forwardl Probably
they would try coercion, and they would there
upon be smashed. Not much time would pass
over before the House of Commons and the
country would begin to find they must look to
Gladstone alone for the settlement of the Irish
question. He would be recalled to power, and
would carry new and better home-rule scheme
by rush. But Gladstone cannot hope for the
strength, activity and endurance for all this.
He has not days to throw away, and must crowd
his deeds into the shortest possible time. So
there appears no course open to him but an ap-
peal to the country, and am convinced that on

TIE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY.
Highly Satisfactory Progress in Collecting
Money-Scope of the Proposed Institution.

WASHINGTON, May 16.-The heartiness and
enthusiasm with which the project of erecting in
Washington Roman Catholic university has
country are sufficient evidence that it will be-
come a solid and concrete fact before very long.
Subscriptions still continue to pour in. Already
the sum in hand is sufficient to warrant the COM
nencement of building. The major portion of the
million dollars which was to be collected for the
cost and endowment of the university is in hand,
and more is still coming The committee held
meeting in Boston last week and selected three
of the ten plans for the building, which had been
sent in from some of the principal architects of the
country. It is probable that the best features of
these three designs will be Incorporated into one
when final decision is made. Ground will not be
broken for the erection of the building until next
spring, but when operations are once commenced
:hey will be pushed forward with rapidity. The
new institution is to be a university and not q
college. 1t will be founded on similar system
to that in vogue at Oxford and Cambridge. 1t is
not proposed to give professional education in
the university, but the course will be
so modelled that none but post-graduates
and those who have received their pro-
fessional education will be eligible for
admission, 1t will be finishing In
this way it will not interfere in any way with
the existing colleges At first instruction will
be confined to the three branches of learning,
philosophy, theology and philology, and will
afterwards include law and medicine. Doctor
Chapel says that zone of the principal reasons
that Washington was chosen as the site of the
university was because the students here could
mix with the superior minds of this and other
countries, and because OF the many val
liable scientific collections and libraries,
and the courses of scientific lectures
etc., which are to be found here" The question
of the internal management of the university
was the subject of much discussion at the last
meeting os the committee, some members fa-
voring the election of rector and others oppos-
ing it. 1t was finally decided to elect one, which
was accordingly DONE 1t is believed that Arch
bishop Spalding. of Illinois, was the man SO hon.
ored.t The management of the interior of the
university will intrusted to the members of
ligious society, with whom arrangements are
now being made.

Mr.. Gladstone Will Appeal TO the Country If

LONDON, May 16.-An informal Cabinet coun-
Gil was held last evening, and to. day Mr.. Glad
stone held conferences with his colleagues. It is
reported that yielding to the urgent advice of
Mr.. Morley and Lord Spencer, Mr.. Gladstone
has decided, in the event of defeat to-demand
from the Queen an immediate dissolution of
Parliament The Liberal Association leaders in
the provinces have sent letter to Mr. Gladstone
pleading with him not to resign, but to appeal
to the country with the certainty of securing a
majority.
Mr.. Cham berlain is deluged with Radical pro-
tests. To Birmingham Liberal, who had writ
ten that Mr. Chamberlain's action had destroyed
all chances of his ever attaining the leadership
of the Liberals, Mr.. Chamberlain replies that he
would sooner forsake politics than to consent to
measures that would prove disastrous to the
country
Mr.. Gladstone's committee has asked Mr.
Chamberlain to formulate statement of the
concessions that would reconcile him.
The Parnellites, though asserting to the Sec
ond reading of the arms bill, will oppose advanc-
ing it to the committee stage until after the
division on the home-rule bill.
The Standard says "Mr. Gladstone wishes an
immediate dissolution of Parliament. Some of
his colleagues oppose dissolution on account of
the disunion in the Liberal party"
The Daily News says: "The supporters of
Mr. Gladstone ought to be deeply grateful to
Lord Salisbury, whose recent speech has rem
dered signal service to the Liberal party. In
stead of persuading Liberals to secede from
their party, he has shattered the project of a
coalition with the Conservatives, publicly in

sterites to war"
