his report, for l am friend OF the silver
dollar. :.
ST. Paul. Dec. 5.
The GLOBE was not aware that Secre-
tary WINDOW had any silver policy,
strictly speaking. A careful peruSal of
his report conveyed TO our mind the i'm
preston that if he had his way he would
convert silver into junk, instead of
making it money. and would then flood
the country with bogus paper money
redeemable in Junk" His proposition
is simply an artful device to demOnetize
silver. and to make gold the only stand
ard of money. 1t needs no argument or
explanation to make this apparent.
This is shown on the face of the recon-
mendation, which proposes that the sill
yer bullion be bought up by the govern
ment at its value in gold, just as
as you would buy Jumps of coal OF
chunks of copper, and that it be stored
away, not coined, and that shinplaster
certificates representing the value of
this silver junk be issued and put into
circulation. As to the wisdom of such
a so-called silver policy, SOI.oN CHAsE's
| fiat money scheme would be sound finan-
ciering in comparison with willy WILL
| IAN WINDOWS silver shinplaster.
If silver Is to be recognized as money
and we are to maintain the bimetallic
standard. why should not the govern
| ment endeayor to keep silver on par
with gold by establishing system of
free coinage? If it is to be demonatized
| and degraded to the condition of the
baSer INITIALS, why should the govern
ment engage in the folly of piling it ND
| in the treasury vaults? To our mind
| there is no middle ground for the gov
ernment to occupy. It is simple
! proposition of whether silver shall be
money or not money.

THE CONTROLLING FoRCEs.

Gen. BoYNToN, the veteran Washing
ton correspondent who serves the he
publican organ at Cincinnati. was so
full over the speakership matter that
he talked out what most of the MCkIN-
LEY and Western men only dare to
think of in private way. The inside
history. rs related by BoYNToN, is that
senatorial and railroad combinations
were the effective forces that united
and manipulated the Republican caucus.
This senatorial interference is some
what of a new departure. The MEM
beers of the lower house have usually
been quick to resent attempts in that
direction. and in but one instance has
there been any effective interference by
senators, and then the work was SO
Quiet as not to be understood until aft
erwardS. Now IL is alleged the work
has been invested with almost no dis
guise. The "QUAY-SAwYER gang
worked chiefly for spoils ami control OF
committees The sixty Eastern Re-
publicanS were Swelled to a ma
jOrity by bulldosing and patron
age. BoYNTON says the Wisconsin
senator got the postmaster and his
twenty places for the delegation of his
state, and all but q of the ll9 places in
the house were controlled by the COM
bine, to compel IAN organization against
the West and South" The railroad
element comprise the Canadian Pacific.
Manitoba and Atchison & Topeka, aad
controlled votes in Minnesota, Kansas
and Wisconsin. $50 fragrant was this
interference" says Gen. BoYNToN'
that it would be suppression OF news
not to record it. Only by such means
could the West have been beaten. "
The great battle, he says. was for the
control of the committees. He evil

faithful service to the combination that
elected him. There is no reason to
doubt that they knew their man, and
that the details of the work for him to
do were closely defined.

he attempted to go about his
room without them and uncOn-
sciously walked outof the window. fall

was Immediately picked up and con-
veyed into the house, where it was
found that he had sustained fracture
of the skull, which all OF the doctors at
Bagamoy0, except SANKEY'S own physi-
clan. pronounce fatal. Stanley-s doctor
shares the opinion of his colleagues
that EmIn is in a very critical cOndi-
ton, but expresses hope that he may be
able to save his life. As it is, the pasta
cannot, under the most favorable cir
cumstances be removed from Bagamoyo
for at least ten days.
Emin misjudged the height Of a bal
cony parapet. overbalanced himself
and fell distance of twenty feet.
When found his right eye was closed
and blood was issuing from his ears.
His body is terribly bruised.

In Need of Clothing.

To the Editor Of the Globe
As have in my district twelve or
thirteen counties in the frontier of the
northwestern part of Minnesota to
travel through, holding meetings and
organizing Sunday schools where
the people have no gospel privileges,
find many very poor families who have
not sufficient clothing for the present
winter, not prepared to attend either
day or Sunday school, whose hearts
would be made glad by receiving some
gifts, such as Outgrown garments, cast
off clothing, boots, etc, from some of
our wealthy and more favored churches
and Sunday schools. Probably there is
no district more needy in the Union. 1t
is more blessed to give than to receive.
Dear friends. help if possible; please
appoint some one in your church or
Sunday school to receive what you may
give, who will forward them to me to
distribute. Yours in Christian love,
ARCHIBALD SPEERS,
Sunday School Missionary.

WEATHER SIGNS.

There are varying signs and prophe-
cies about the classification of the win
ter now under way, generally, however,
presaging hard, cold winter. The
signal service man at MOOrhead has con-
Stantly insisted that cold and warm sea-
sons come in pairs, two alike. Last
winter was warm. and this will be SINH
lar. He finds confirmation of this the
DRY in the fact that October and NOvem-
Der were almost precisely similar in
temperature to the same months of the
preceding year. His records show that
the mean temperature of November
Just passed was but nine-tenths of a
degree below that of November, 1855.
The highest temperature in 1889 was
six below, and the lowest two lower
than in tue month OF last year. October
was still nearer the previous October.
Those who have the records of a series
of years can perhaps tell whether there
is any basis for the Moorhead theory.
Ii would be q matter of considerable
practical Importance to many people if
the fact could be determined whether
there is any rule In the system. So far
December is about the same as in 1888.

BRUSSELS, Dec. 5.-There was another
exciting scene in the chamber of depu-
ties to-day, the occasion being debate
over the suspension from Office of the
administrator of public safety. NJ
Lejeune, the minister of justice. de-
clared that the administrators knew the
character of the anarchist POurbaix, but
maintained him at his post without the
knowledge of the cabinet. Radical Dep
uty Bara here denounced NJ. Leieune as q
liar. The president of the chamber de-
manded the withdrawal of the express
sion. and Bara apologized. NJ. Lejeune,
continuing said that the administrator
could have stopped the trial of the So
cialists by making known facts concern
ing which he kept silence. M. Janson'
declared that as soon as the king
learned of the disclosures made in the
debate he would be unable to retain the
present ministry. A great crowd had
gathered outside the chamber, and as

ST. LOUIS, Dec. 5.-The Farmers al
lance and the Farmers and Laborers'
union, now in convention In this city,
have decided upon a confederation.
Committees from the two associations
held secret meeting to-day. at which
the idea Of consolidating was Diseased
at length. There were no dissenting
voices when the question was put to O
vote whether the alliance would con-
solidate with the Farmers. and Labor
ers' union on certain conditions. The
conditions were the approval of the
steps taken by the delegates of the
two alliances, and ratification of the
compact by tw0-thirds of the states rep
resented by the alliances. MI. Powderly,
on invitation of the farmers alliance,
visited their headquarters to-day and
for half hour held a leyee. The eX-
preston OH the part of the delegates
about the hotel corridors is that the
visit of the Knights of Labor committee
at this time will be productive Of good
results. While the opinion is general
that an amalgamatiOn of the tillers and
toilers is not looked on as consumma-
tiOn that will be reached now or this
year, it is thought that the time of
general union of labor will not be de-
ferred long
