The republicans Preparing 70 Make a
Winning Fight.

The republicans Preparing 10 Make a
Winning Fight.
WASHINGTON, August 2lst-Secretary
Carter, of Montana, of the Republican
Congressional Campaign Committee, said
to your correspondent this afternoon:
sFBy the gerrymander process in the vari-
ors States, the Democrats, since the last
Congressional election, have really made
an apparent gain of about fifty districts,
snd if they could carry gllsof the territory
which they claim, they would, of course,
have a majority of fifteen in the next
House. 1t is not at ell likely, however,
that they can gain Eaore than half this
number of the new districts, and they GER
tainly will lose some districts which they
now represent. What the general result
will be no one can fortell at this time, for
there are local issues of importance in
every Congressional district.
1.-The Republican Campaign Committee 10
organizing for business and beginning to
work in earnest. Ii proposes to defeat tie
wholesale gerrymander schemes of the
Democrats, and honestly believe we will
elect the majority of the next House of
Representatives. The Democrats may be
able to hold their own in most of the dis
tricts they now represent, but the gerry
mander, being an unfair means of cam
paigning, generally reacts against those
who have brought about the manipulation.
THE record of the present House of
Representatives has been thoroughly salts
factory to the country. 1t has favored the
farmers and laborers; it has increased the
volume of circulating medium, and has full
filed Republican pledges to the soldiers.
We are receiving encouragement from
every section of the country. and the battle
" hirh will in or VT h
will be one of the most interesting in the
history of the COUNTRY"
Representative Carter said that Mr. Clark
son, who is TO be the real head of the COM
mittee, would take hold of the manage
ment in earnest the LIST of September, and
that some of the best campaign work
would be done to secure the control of the
next House of Representatives that has
ever been seen.

THE QUAY RESOLUTION.
Great Surprise That it Was Not Takel
Up Yesterday.

Great Surprise That it Was Not Taken
Up Yesterday.
WAsHzNeToN, August 21st-Great sur
prise was occasioned by the failure of the
Senate this morning TO take up the Quay
resolution fixing the order of business.
Many Senators fully expected the debate of
yesterday to be resumed.
Senator Quay, when asked the reason
for postponement, said: Some friends
thought it best not to take it up to-day. l
shall, however, call it up tomorrow"
Further than this he declined to say any
aIJ thing.
Senator Henderson said it was thought
to be best, if there was any fighting to be
done among the Republicans to do it in
private and not in public.
THAT means a caucus was suggested"
Not necessarily" he responded, but a
conference may be held. What, if any
thing will be done, is matter of mere
conjecture, but it is evident that an earnest
effort is being made to agree upon an order
of business that can be supported by the
whole Republican VOTE"
The proposition which will be made at
the conference or caucus, if it be held to-
night is that the election bill shall be taken
up at the meeting of Congress in Deem
Der, and that voting on the bill and amend
ments shall begin December Goth. 1t is
urged that the adoption of this programme
would enable the Senate to utilize to good
advantage the short time prior to the
Christmas holidays, which is usually
wasted. This is to be an addition to the
Quay resolution as it stands at present.
Whether the proposition will receive the
support of the majority of Republicans
cannot now be stated. 1t comes from
friends of the election bill.

ure merely variation in the amounfof
currency Of q speculative phenomenon IN
cident to q great and sudden advance IN
the value of an important COMMODITY, oy
causing an appreciation of silver as meas,
ured in gold. We make Indian wheat and
cotton cost Just so much more as the rise
in the gold price of silver measures; we
believe it will be found this new value OF
silver provides the true protection to our
agriculturists. And the differences % be
drawn from these facts are plain; e has
given 500 ,00O,0 600 more in the pockets OF
our farmers. It is safe to argue tat actiy-
ity such as we have not witnessed in years
in this couatry must follow II all lines
and manifestations.
1t is reported here that one effect of the
rise of silver has been the stimulation oil
silver miuing in Mexico. Old mines, for
years unused, are being pumped out and
put into shape for renewal of work with
improved methods of apparatus. Compa-
MES are being formed for the construction
of smelters, so that silver ore can be re-
duced and refined on Mexican soil and
sent over IN bars and ingots.

safe, sure and Speedy.

No external remedy ever yet devised has
so fully and unquestionably met these
three prime conditions as successfully as
Allcock's Porous Plasters. They are safe
because they contain no deleterious drugs
and are manufactured upon scientific prin-
ciples of medicine. They are sure because
nothing goes into them except ingredients
which are exactly adapted to the purposes
for which plaster is required. They are
speedy in their action because their medici-
nal qualities go right to their work of re-
lieving pain and restoring the natural and
healthy performance of the functions of
muscles, nerves and skin.
Beware of limitations. and do not be de-
ceiyed by Misrepresentation. Ask for ALI
cocks, and lei no solicitation or explana-
ton induce you to accept substitute.

GLOOMY OUTLOOK.
Eastern Colorado and Western Kansas
Suffering from a Drought.

Suffering from a Drought.
DENVER, August 2lst.-The effect of the
summers drought in Eastern Colorado and
Western Kansas begins to look gloomy.
The cool weather of the past few DAYS
causes the settlers in the dry districts to
wonder where their winter supplies are to
come from. A great many of them have
only their claims, and not all of those are
proven up, so they have nothing to sell
and nothing to borrow upon.
A committee reached Denver to-day
from eastern Arapahoe county, Col, sent
by the settlers of that district in quest of
aid, which will no doubt be generously
furnished them, as Colorado, as whole,
has been blessed with unusually good
crops, so that the State will be amply
provided to take care of those who have
settled upon the plains in the eastern por-
ton of the State, but Western Kansas,
which comprises much larger area, and
where not even vegetables have grown the
past year, will no doubt have to call upon
the rest for assistance before the winter
blasts are over.
Already hundreds of families have come
to Colorado from Western Kansas, where
they report that the corn, wheat and oats
that were planted in some districts still re-
main in the ground, or have been eaten by
birds. There is not enough moisture in the
ground to sprout it until the fall rains set
in. A week or two ago at Colorado
Springs, quite a number of Kansas families
were living in tents. All seem to be thriv-
ing and in good health, having secured
work there since their arrival.

SCARCITY OF MONEY.
The SmsDgency Believed to be of Only
Short Duration.

The St1IDgency Believed to be of Only
Short Duration.
Ngw YORK, August 21st-A prominent
financial writer says in the Post this after
noon: The fact is that money was scarce aud
leaned this forenoon as high as 80 per cent.
il this market, concurrent with reduc-
ton in the Bank of England rate of dis
count to per cent. instead of 5, and that
all the time for the last week or two while
money has been ranging from 10 to 30
here, it has been 81 to 81 in London, and
that this enormous difference in rates has
not caused any movement of money this
way, or caused any considerable break yet
in the rates for exchange. This anomaly
is difficult to account for, except upon the
theory that people who could have trans
iterred money enough from London to have
relieved this market have believed the
stringency here was only temporary, and
that for the short time in which they
would get high rates for money it would
not pay to bring it here.
There is an active demand for money all
over the country, and before there is any
decided relief to the New York money
market there will necessarily by decided
break in the exchange point. which will
bring back some of the gold sent out one
month ago. The total stock of silver bull
lion in the country, say 100000 in the
Atlantic seaboard cities and $4,000, 600 in
San Francisco, Omaha, Kansas City, st.
Louis and Denver. or say SO, 00o 900 in all,
has been almost entirely accumulated in the
last six months

ALAsKA,s CENSUS.
La Grippe InterEeres With the Pzogress
of the Enumerators.

La Grippe Interseres with the Progress
of the 1snumerators.
WASHINGTON, August 21st.-A singular
difficulty in the way of collecting census
material has presented itself to Iven Pet
rolf, the census Office agent who is in
charge of the work in Alaska, and dis
patch has been received at the Census
Office from that tar-of portion of thee oun-
try, in which Mr.. Petroff states that an cpl
demic prevails to such an extent as to
seriously interfere with his work. He
finds it difficult to obtain paddlers for his
canoe, and, of course, he and his assistants
are prevented from travelling.
1t seems that the epidemic has many of
the same features as was noticed when it
was prevalent here. Those suffering from
the disease are in many cases untitled for
effort of any kind, and lose inclination for
work.
Mr.. Petroff states that in consequence of
this state of affairs it will be necessary to
make change in his plan of operations.
He has, however, every confidence that he
will bring his work to successful conclu-
sion within the prescribed time. Mr.. Pet
rolf adds that if the revenue steamer Bear
stops at points agreed upon in time,
some of the material for the census of
Alaska will be in this city by October 1st.
