SILVER reached the lowest rate ever
known last week. when the amount
contained in sIver dolla- only brought
seventy and a half cents as bullion.
The steady decline in the price OF this
metal in spite OF the effort of the Uni
ted states Mint to maintain its value
by purchasing aud coming about one
half the annual output of the country
shows that it is utterly useless for this
Government To attempt 10 sustain the
price In the face OF the refusal OF all
other leading financial nstions to treat
II as money. The experiment has been
long and costly one and no one has
been benefited by il but the few silver
producers. II It were proposed that
the Government should purchase annu-
ally half the wheat, cotton, corn, wool,
petroleum or coal of the country there
would bs lively protest from ell
sources. But the silver kings are fur
nished Government market TO the sx-
clusion of al other producers and they
seem 10 be able TO convince Congress
that this discriminating folly should be
perpetuated indefinitely. Whether the
present large export OF god is the be-
ginning OF the inevitable result of the
effort TO make seventy cents worth of
silver pass for dollar il is little too
early to determine. But that this re-
suit must follow continuance of the
present excessive silver coinage is as
certain as that night follows day.

Mr.. BLAINE is out in another letter,
dated at Paris, France, May 18th, TO
Whitelaw Reid, editor of the New York
Tribune, in which he says he could not
be a candidate after his Florence letter
without being accused of bad faith by
many OF his former friends. and he does
not choose to endure such charge.
Mr.. Blaine being out of the road.
the several rival candidates who have
been nursing their booms will now have
az opportunity to let them grow. John
Sherman, the Pinkstonian statesman
from Ohio. may put his barrel on tap,
or Depew the henchman Of the Wander
builts, may marshall the strength of the
railroad corporations to his aid and Sc
cure the nomination. But whether Sher-
man Depew or a dark horse, matters
little to the Democracy as the Repub-
lican party has run its race, the hand
writing is on the wall and it cannot
avoid the ''doom of destiny"

THE Senate Judiciary Committee
met at Washington on Monday and
again deferred action on the nomIna-
tion OF Melville w. Fuller TO be chief
justice. When the committee met the
Democratic members tried to secure
immediate action and were aided in this
by the advice of one or two Republi-
cans. There was disposition, how
ever, on the part of the other Republi-
can members TO leave the matter open
for week or so longer, and when a
Republican Senator informed the com
mittee that he had received addition
al charges against Mr.. Fuller which he
wished 70 investigate, the committee,
by party vote, decided TO defer action
or the nomination until to-day Thurs
day when 1t is thought the matter will
be definitely disposed Of

THE next President and Vice Presi-
dent of the United States will be nom.
mated a. 81. Louis on Tuesday next.
Nearly all of the delegates to the st.
Louis Convention have been elected and
a canvass of their preferences and in
structions leaves no room 60 doubt that
Cleveland will be nominated on the first
ballot and the indications are that no
other name will be presented to the
Convention. This is a political stand
ing of which any man could be Justly
proud and is proof that Mr.. CIeveland's g
Administration has teen a good one.
His election by the people will follow
with much larger majority than in
1854.

ACCORDING to the repor. OF :he De-
partment OF Agriculture the present
average rate OF monthly wages for farm
labor in the United States is SIS "a
without board, and S12 SO with board.
In Pennsylvania the average is 50 "a
without board. and S14 80 with board.
The wages paid Tor farm labor is there
fore an accurate measure o. the general
earning OF unskilled labor. This is
probably The form of labor which *
ceeds all other, and upon which the
trust tariff lays constant burden on
the necessaries OF life, without any com.
psnsating advantage.

JUDGE THURMAN. of Ohio, has been
mentioned for the Vice Presidency on
the Democratic ticket alonp with Pres
ident Cleveland, and his nomination
seems to be borne on tidal wave that
nothing can stop short Of his absolute
declination. 1t is to be hoped than the
grand old statesman may consent to run.
and the fact that he has never failed
to respond when the interests OF she
party called makes it more than proba-
bic that he will be the next Vice Presi-
dent. Cleveland and Thurman would
create such an amount of enthusiasm in
the ranks of the Democratic party that
it would sweep the country from Maine
to the Gulf, and leave the Republican
party after the November election as
hard 10 gather together as the remnants
of western town after being struck by

SOME time ago when it was said that
the Republicans of Braddock were about
TO organize free trade club, the idea
was laughed at but il appears that the
idea Is not sn visionary as some would
suppose. There is quite feeling
among leading Republicans here that
the protection does not protect the peO-
PIE 10 the same extent il does the CAPT
talists and they are iI favor Of having a
resdjustment of the tariff to suit the
tOiIeTs. The idea as expressed by sew
era members of the Carnegie Guards is
that the cry OF free trade has lost its
terror TO the mill men of Allegheny
county who see in il only benefits to
capitalists. Under the protection of
high tariff the mill owners build up
large plants from which native toilers
are excluded TO make room for free
trade in labor brought from all quarters
OF the world. The workmen here are
in favor Of a tariff that will operate not
only in the interests of capitalists but
will throw some kind of protectiOn
around The labor OF the ones whose skill
and work has made the big mil! owners
the wealthy class they are. II the work
men are TO be taxed high tariff Oh all
they consume, eating up as il does their
wages though ever 50 large. they claim
that they should be protected against
free trade in foreign labor, and until
this is doEe it is safe to say that many
Republicans will join hands with any
/ party that seeks to remove lax from
which the workmen do no: derive the
benefit they should and q tariff re-
/ vision club composed Of intelligent Re-
puolicans OF BIzddock is among the pUs-
sihilliirs OF the coming campaign.-

A Harrisburg special TO the Pitisourg
Dispatch says:
Ex-Governor Hoyt having been asked
Saturday what be thought OF the Presiden-
tial political situation, said the nomination
OF Blaine seemed inevitable, in view OF the
multiplicity OF Republican candidates strug.
Cling for the Presidency. The party would
take him as ITS standard bearer because IL
wac afraid to risk the running OF any DINER
man. As to the prospects OF the Repuol-
can party for success, they were far from
encouraging. The waving of the 'bloody

party. 1t had been tried often With good
political results. and IL showed to the front
in this campaign II would probably again
lead to party triumph
He had no idea II would be made the bat
tie cry. as the party seemed TO regard the
tariff as the Issue on which the Presidential
fight should be Tade- He had very little
faith in it, Neither party would be materi-
ally affected 5v il, as the subject had been so
often discussed in previous campaigns with
out making much impression on the voter.
The position taken on the liquor question
by the Republicans would greatly hurt tnem-
New York had been made irreclaimably
Democratic by the attitude of his party on
the subject of high license and Prohibition.
L, the city he would not be surprised to see
a majority at the Presidential election OF
100 900 for the Democratic ticket. This
measure be due to the interference OF the
Republicans with the traffic in liquor.
New Jersey would also 90 Democratic
for similar reasons. Enough political
changes would be made In the city or
Newark alone to defeat the Republicans In
the State, owing to the large German Re-
publican population which would vote the
Democratic ticket. on account of the high
license and Prohibition legislation passed at
the last session OF the Legislature
The Republicans would also sustain great
losses In this State because OF their attitude
on the liquor question. The majority IN
philadelphia in November woud be greatly
reduced and ultima tely Pennsylvania would
be carried by the Democrats, on account OF
the mistaken political policy OF the domin-
ant party.
Governor Hoyt thinks Cleveland will be
his own successor. He will probably not
get as large an Independent Republican vote
as he did four years ago. but many OF the
Irish voters. who supported b laine In that
campaign, Will return to the Democratic
fold 10 the event Of Blaine's nomination,
many of this class of voters, the Governor
says. will stand by the Maine man. but their
number will not be sufficiently large to en-
danger any Democratic State.
The Republicans have a much better show
of carrying the lower House OF Congress
than the Presidency. Cleveland Is stronger
than in 1884. He will get large church
vote. and the action OF the Methodists on the
Prohibition question will help him by swell
ing the Republican Prohibition vote. The
Southern States, as usual will all go Dem
ocratic, although the Republicans may gain
few Congressman in that section OF the
Union.

The virus OF rheumatism often remains In the

free the sufferer at the outset from subsequent
pain and danger. No purer or more agreeable

that an outlet is afforded for the escape of i'm

The Building Committee of the New
Hotel Company Hard at Work.
The entire Building committee of the
new hotel company, H. NJ. Conner, Esq,
Gen. E. P. Alexander, and Messrs George
j. Baldwin, Lee Roy Myers and J. N. Bar
nard, devoted yesterday to examining the
plans for the new hotel. Each plan had
separate table, and the members of the
committee, with their coats off, entered
into the work Entrusted to them with an
earnestness which demonstrated that they
fully appreciated the Importance of their
trust. After the committee had examined
the plans and specifications sufficiently to
give them an insight into their general de-
tails, those architects who were in the city
were invited to explain their designs. The
first gentleman introduced was a we'll
known architect of Atlanta.
There arc seven sets of drawings and
specifications, aud it is thought that 1t will
be some time next week before al! of the
architects who may desire to do so will have
an opportunity Of appearing before the com
mittee. The designs are all very handsome,
and whichever one is selected will give Sa-
vanuah a hotel that will be a credit to it
and its citizens.
During the day several of the directors
visited the committee-room, no others being
permitted to do so, but they did not remain
long, as it was evident that the committee
meant business, and that to enter into the
spirit of the examination, visitors would
have to remain through the entire sittings
of the committee.
