 The Presidents Tribute.
 The oration occupied in it's delivery one hour and ten minutes. After the Hallelu- iah chorus had been rendered the presi- dent was received with 8 warm welcome. In remarkable vigorous manner and with numerous gesticulations he spoke as follows:
 Fellow citizens: The selection of these exercises on this day, consecrated to the memory of those who died that there might be one flag of honor and authority this republic, is most fitting. That flag floats here, the unrivaled object of our loyal love.
 "This beautiful and imposing monument f1tly typifies the grand and symmetrical character of him in whose honor it has been built. His was the arduous great ness of things done. No ladder of prefer ment was fashioned and placed by other hands for his ambition. He framed and nailed the cleats upon which his aspiring feet rose to the summit of public useful ness and fame. "He did not cease to be student and teacher when he left the academic halls As volunteer soldier he quickly made himself familiar with tactics and strategy, and imparted in brief army career some valuable lessons in military science. He was profound student of the political his tory of his country, and one of the most brilliant and instructive of the great de- baters who have appeared in the national congress. What he would have done and been in the presidency is chiefly left to friendly augury based upon career that had no incident of failure or inadequance The sudden and cruel and mysterious ter imitation of his career had only one amel- ioration-that space of life was given him to teach from his dying bed great lesson of patience ana loving forbearance. His mortal part will find here honorable repose, while the lessons of his life and death will continue to be imposing and instructive incidents in American history" | Vice President Morton, Gen. Sherman, Secretary Windom, Gen. Schofield and Mr. Mckinley also paid tribute to the honored | dead in brief addresses.
 Frightful Accident to Boy. NEW YORK. June 9. Benjamin, the | 6-year-old son of Isaac Baumann, who lives on the third floor of the tenement house No. 273 East Third street, climbed up on a chair yesterday to give water to a bird. The cage was hanging by an open window. While reaching up to the cage the boy lost his balance and fell out of the window. In his descent to the basement he struck against an iron railing which extends around the basement area. One of the iron pointed pickets passed through his left arm close to the shoulder, and as he fell the weight of his body tore the arm from it's socket. The arm remained hang ing to the spike, and the mangled boy fell into the areaway. His death is almost certain

RICH AGAINST THE POOR.
The Silver Coinage Question a Battle
Between the Debtor and
Creditor
Senator Mitchell Opposes the Win
dom Scheme and Speaks for
Free Silver Coinage,


WASHINGTON, Jan. @J.-In the senate to-
iny after some routine business Mitchell
took the floor and proceeded TO address the
senate on the bill for the free coinage OF
silver.
Mitchell said the subject WIS one involy-
ing a contention. in the main between the
rich and poor, between the creditor class
and the debtor class: il involved n gigantic
effort Tor, perhaps, the term conspiracy
might not be Inappropriate on the part of
special class and its allies 10 depress val
ues in order that the price of n creditor =
bond and note and mortgage and gold coin
might be increased in value and their
power Of absorption augmented. The pend.
ing bill, he said, was not n demand
for the issue of nm unlimited supply OF
money, as all agreed that such policy
would he suicidal. il was n
bill, however. to provide for a
sufficient amount of the circulating
medium by which 10 meet the largely in
creased aud largely increasing business OF
the country. and which would tend 10 check
the alarming decline in the value of farms,
farm products and other commodities.
The question was whether double stand
ard of money should be re-eslablished oI
whether gold alone should continue 10 lie
the monetary standard. Was the hnanclal
ship OF America 10 sail only in the wake OF
the golden tramps OF Great Britain
Mitchell went on 10 argue that the only
way TO restore and secure national
prosperity was 10 provide by law
for the free and unlimited coinage OF silver
bullion into standard silver dollars of the
present weight and iineness, and TO give IL
that coinage the debt paying functions oi
the legal tender. of course with proper re-
strictions 10 protect the mints from impo.
sition and also 10 provide for the issue OF
legal tender certificates based on silver
coinage. The Window bill, as il now stood
he regarded as fatally defective; with slight
amendments. however, that proposition
stood third in his estimation as a measure
in the right direction. The free and un-
limited coinage Of silver stood first.
At the conclusion of Mitchelrs address
the senate went into executive session and
al o'clock the doors were opened. .and
the senate adjourned.
