The Western Union Beef company,
which was incorporated in Denver last
saturday, and which absorbes all the
beef companies in Colorado, Wyoming,
New Mexico and Texas, probably took
its name from a certain telegraph com
pany which has achieved eminent sue
cess by doing business on the same gen
esal plan. The Western Union Beef
company might, however, with equal
propriety have called itself the West
ern Union Hog company. The new
concern no doubt will take care that its
stock is plentifully watered.

for the purchase of larger quantities
Of silver per month than the govern
ment has been taking. In other words,
1t Is a concession on the part OF the
managers of the republican party to the
silver barons" whom they were afraid
to offend too grossly. That is the spirit
that prompts the measure. IL that is
what has been sought all this time.
then IL must be said that the advocates
of silver are liars and the silver-ad-
vOcating press has perverted the facts.
For that matter, the most clear
sighted man I'm America cannot fore
tell where the price of silver may range
by January I, 1891, because, as Mr..
Carter shows, there is no telling how
the treasury department may manipu-
late the metal.
But IL will be said that, under the
bill, free coinage is to come without
herald or warning or need of legislation
when gold and silver are just at par.
True enough, and a treasurer Of the
United States or a secretary of the
treasury, by the application of the
simplest methods In the world can pre-
vent them both being just at par dur
ing the Nineteenth century by the
mere exercise of the discretion lodged
in him by the bill.
The demand of silver's honest
friends was simply that the metal be
restored to its rightful function in the
nations currency, whether that result
involved the purchase by the govern
ment of one million or five millions a
month. They sought to give silver the
fixed place and value that belong to a
recognized currency metal. They hoped
to bring about a financial condition
that would no longer compel the debtor
to pay his debts with a dollar that
costs him than the dollar he Dor
rOwed.
Saturdays bill says that the treasury
notes to be issued against silver shall
be legal tender for debts except where
otherwise expressly stipulated by con-
tract" The eastern loan and trust and
mortgage associations will keep right
on inserting the proviso that their
money shall be paid back to them i'm
gold, and they will SCI to it that gold
is still kept the dearer coin. They evil
IDENTIFY have the power to compel con
gress to do this for them by just such
legislation as saturdays.
We cannot see where good will come
of this measure. If Window and Reed
and Mckinley and the rest of them felt
that,On grounds of political expediency,
they must do something to conciliate
the 'silver barons' their simpler course
would have been to amend section ) of
the act of February, 1873, and raise the
minimum monthly purchase from
3 2,OOO.OO to st,5O0,OOO. Then every
body would have understood it and the
country would have realized that the
republicans i'm power were willing to
buy more of a metal whose money
qualities they do not respect. merely to
keep the big silver producers quiet.

The FAMOUS PAIR

The caucus of republican members
OF the house of representatives at

Saturdays vote were arranged was held

called. as caucuses usually are: notice
that il was to be held was sent from
desk to desk in the house.
TN Thursday the product of the eau

that Carter was paired with a man who
would have voted for silver had he

a little bigger lift would have defeated

While watching the vote ON silver, a
good many people have lost track of
what was going on with r%eferenceto lead.
The senate committee on finance fin
ished its work with the metal schedule
last Friday leaving the section that re-
lates to silver-lead ore to stand just as
il came from the house. The smelter
ring is said to have made a hard fight
with the senate committee but IL could
not prevail. Ii may carry the contest
into the senate but il will undoubtedly
fail there. This hard fought battle
was forced by the contemplate con-
duct of the treasury department, out of
which MIR. Carter confidently believed
he could get a favorable ruling without
the slightest difficulty. lie certainly
was warranted in expecting this much,
but Window, under the pressure of cor
porate influence as usual. was afraid TO
meet the issue and tossed the whole
thing into congress where he believed
the free-lead ring would win.
Mr.. Clarkson, assistant to Postmaster
General wanamaker, is not going to re-
sign after all. Al least he is reported as
having said So. More than that. MIR.
Clarkson says he never had any intention

Yesterday afternoon Justice Austin's
court room presented more the appear

court of Justice, the lobby being crowded
with young ladies and youths, pencil
and note book in hand, taking notes of
the testimony in the trial of the civil
suit entitled, w. ]. Kennard, VS.. l. N.

We're their pupils. The plaintiff claimed
that the defendant was indebted to him
in the sum of $1O5 on promissory note,
dated July 1st, 1890, the defendant on
the other hand claiming that the plain
tiff was indebted to him on an agree
ment. After hearing the testimony of a
number of witnesses, the court contin-
ued the case for further hearing until
today.
