TILpEN TIRES OF PEACE.
A Story that the Sage Is Now Ready to
Fight Cleveland.

"A story LnaG the sage Is NOW Reauy tO
Fight Cleveland
Washington Special
There is little matter which has kept pretty
we'll out of the newspapers, but which is worry
ing the politicians great deal-and that is the
state of affairs between the administration and
Mr.. Tilden, relative to the resignation of Assist
ant Secretary Smith. Mr.. Manning and Mr..
Smith were both appointed with Mr. Tilden's
stronge Endorsement, and they were the least in
accord with Mr.. Cleveland's cvil-servce notions
of any of his official family. But they were en-
tirely in accord with Mr. Tilden's ideas. The
Treasury was ably conducted but there was
no mugwump nonsense around about
Eugene Higgins, owing to his facility
in turning out Republicans and putting
in Democrats, became a great national issue.
Mr.. Cleveland worried about it. but Mr.. Man
ming held on to Higgins, and the Higgins method
obtained in the Treasury. Assistant Secretary
Smith powerful coadjutor, and among
these three the civi-service law was worked so
that instead of one thing general efficiency be-
ing required of the Treasury clerk, two things
were necessary-he must know his business and
be good Democrat besides. Assistant Secre
tary Fairchiid, who is the legatee Of the Seymour
influence in New York politics. was no obstacle
to this kind Of thing, and the Treasury was con-
Quoted exactly after Mr.. Tilden's own heart
But the appointment of Collector Hedden came
and that didn't suit Mr.. Tilden. Then he
didn't think the President laid stress enough in
his message upon Mr.. Tildens ideas on coast de-
lenses, and the Sage of Greystone is reported to
have said: ''They think they can get on without
me. Well let see." Soon after
this came Mr.. John Bgelow's strange
conduct about the assistant treasurership-
strange no longer when Uncle Sammy Tilden is
remembered. Mr.. Mannnes resignation fol-
lowed, which. it is alleged, would have taken
place even without the paralytic stroke; then,
virtually without a moments warning, Assistant
Secretary Smiths. Mr.. Smiths reasons were
unique, and still more unique in their applica-
ton, as he only found out the worthlessness of
his Office after years experience of it. So all
these things put together and some others,
show that Mr.. Tildens friends do not regard Mr..
Cleveland with favor, and this is mighty bad for
Mr.. Cleveland. Besides, New York has can
didate in David B. HILL who, in his Boston
speech came out fat footed against Mr.. Cleve-
lands eivil-service hobbies and exactly in con-
sonance with Mr.. Tildens. Around Democratic
dnner-tables, in Democratic committee rooms,
among knots of Democratic Senators and Repre-
sentatives, the talk is that DIR. Tilden means
to physic Mr.. Cleveland, 50 that he won't be in
running order when the saddling- bell rings in

A sENAToRsHIP FOR SALE.
A Rare Harvest in Prospect for Members of
the Nevada Legislature


81 .cal to the Indianapolis Jorrnas.
WASHINGTON, July 8.-The indications are
that the coming senatorial campaign in Nevada
to fill the vacancy which will be made by the ex-
piration of tho term of Senator Fair on the 4th
of next March will be an exceedingly interesting
one for members of the Nevada Legislature.
Fair is now in California, and is attempting to
set up the pins to secure the election of Demo
cratic Legislature and it is said that he has
told his friends that he will spend $500 900, if
necessary, to get back to the Senate. Elk Soma
tor Stewart is also in the ring as Fairs opponent
in his own party, and he, too will be willing to
spend great deal of money TO secure the seat
which he covets The man, however, who is to
be the Doodle" dispenser on a large scale is b.
nanza Maekey, who is very much opposed TO
Fair and will do anything within his means to
defeat him. 1t is asserted positively that
Mackey is willing to spend at least one million
dollars to secure this seat, and with these three
candidates in the field and the doodle" that is
behind them, it begins to look as though it would
be more profitable to be member of the Ne
vada Legislature in 1887 than it was to be New
York alderman in 1884

THE SILVER QUESTION.
British Chambers of Commerce Resolve that
RECOMMENDATION Is Desirable.

demonstration Is Desirable.
New YORK, July 8.-The Suns special Lon
don dispatch says: San important meeting of
the British and colonial chambers of commerce
was held to-day, at which there was an animated
upon the commerce of India, Australia and
Great Britain. Mr. Henry H. Gibbs, ex-governor
of the Bank of England, opened the proceedings
by strong speech, showing the worldwide i'm
portance of restoring the monetary value of
silver. Sir Robert NJ. Fowler NJ p, the Lon
don banker and ex-Lord Mayor, opposed the
idea in a speech which was very feeble in COM
parison with that of Mr.. Gibbs, and was followed
by two Indian members. Both of these con-
tended that the effect of the depreciation of
silver must be finally the ruin of the wheat and
cotton industries of America, and the deyel-
opment Of India as the chief wheat and
cotton exporter of the world They therefore
protested against England's aiding America to
restore the value OF silver at the expense of the
interests of India. Mr.. Paul f. Tidman an
East India merchant argued that England had
other interests beside those of India which stood
sorely in need of the restoration of silver, and
trusted that Mr. Gibbs's ideas would be adopted
by the meeting. Mr.. Crump, of the London
Times, denounced the agitation of the silver
question as the work of the silver miners of Ne
vada and their allies, the Washington ring Mr.
Moreton Frewton pulverized Mr.. Crump in a
strong speech in behalf of the farmers in the
West and the planters in the south of America
and resolution was passed, by vote of Is to
To- amid great excitement, declaring that the re-
monetization of silver would relieve the de-
preston under which trade is now staggering
The meeting is regarded as highly important
and its influence upon the coming silver demon
straton in Lancashire must necessarily be very
strong"

PITTsBURG, July 8-The use of natural gas in
the manufactures of this city has done away
with the consumption of l89, 800 bushels of coal
a day. In 250 working days which is considered
year by manufacturers, the whole amount Of
coal displaced would run up to AZ 450 900 bushels
Calculating 100 bushels to be an average days
output for a coal MINER it would take !, 600 coal
miners to dig this coal. but altogether the use Of
natural gas has thrown about 5000 men out of
work in this region. 1t required the use Of 633
railroad cars to transport the black diamonds
Each of these, thirty feet 10 length, would make

The vetoed Pension Bills.

WASHINGTON, July S.-Chairman Matson. of
the invalid pensions committee, is determined to
Insist upon the reference of all the vetoed PEN
sion bills to that committee, and when the
House meets tomorrow he will make motion
to refer each case. The Democratic leaders are
resolved to stay here all the summer, If neces
sary, as one of them puts it. before abandoning
their position in the matter. The Republicans
who have been most active in the effort to Sc
cure immediate action on the vetoed bills have
proposed compromise which will probably be
accepted. Under its terms two hours will be al
lowed for debate upon such of the bills as may be
selected, and at the expiration Of that time yea
aud nay vote will be taken, the result of which
is to be regarded as final to all of the vetoes.

WASHINGTON. July S.-The prospects are fair
for pretty lively civil-service war soon after
the adjournment of Congress. The triangular
fight now being waged by the Veterans Rights
Union against Commissioner Black, OF the Pen
sion Office. Register Rosecrans, of the Treasury,
and branch of the Civil-service Commission,

chief executive, but by his subordinates, and
that the civil service reform begun so well on
March 4. 1855, has been wholly ignored by the
numerous officials VINO have had much to do
with making changes In the various branches OF

claim that while the President may be

contrary, that he intends to broaden the posi-
bilities to make further violations.
