The Corner In silver.

There is general impression in Wash
inGton that owing to the probable senii.
ment IN congress on the silver legislh.
tion. n huge silver corner has been
formed, taking in all the large mine
owners in this country. One reason
given why the silver lobby here are
anxious TO shut out foreign silver In the
proposed bill is to allow them to work
the corner more successfully; but, as II
now seems apparent that no discrimi.
nation will be made, the silver
men will be obliged to tax
In those men who will purchase foreign
silver FOR the purpose OF speculation.
Already number of men are figuring
on the purchase Of large quantities OF
silver bullion In foreign countries. OF.
heials In high places here have been
asked to give them suggestions as to
whether IL would be safe to buy. 1t
may be that the dumping OF foreign sill
vcr will break the corner that has been
organized. The latest adyices from Eu-
rope are To the effect that the spectators
are securing an option on all the silver

the survey OF tho 10000 acres set aside
In the enabling act for state institutions,
80 that the state might make
Its selections. During the years 1885,
1887 and 1888 only 10000 acres were
surveyed. Then the ripid settlement of
the state left only 10000 acres of sur.
,yeyed land and this was tho refuse of
the y, 00O, coo acres surveyed. Tho qunD.
tity now surveyed was not enough to
allow the surveyor general to select
land for the state. lie referred to the
townsite or Fort Angeles, which had
been SIT aside by the government
twen,y-onc years ago All tho lots
surveyed and plated had been sold, and
he recommended that the additional
10000 acres be at once plated, as 1t was
more than likely that the government
would get lmore than the cost OF the
survey.
Tho committee decided to recommend
S500D for the survey OF Port Angeles.
The committee also instructed the COM
missioner to give pro rata statement
Of tho amount ho would allow each
state.
Mr.. Cannon said there was no doubt
but that Washington had been neglect
ed, and that its rapid DEVELOPMENT
nccessitated large appropriation.
Mr.. Wilson prefers to have the
amount nxod In the sundry civil
bill now under preparation, rs II is
then sure OF passage. Tho withdrawal
OF the arid lands bill no doubt, leaves
many states with small appropriations,
and the deserving states will this year
get increased amounts.

said down town business man. sNow.
there's my partner, who hasn't a shred Of
memory outside a certain beaten business
track In his line he is one Of the best men
to be found-careful, wide awake and enter
prising. But as soon as he tries to remember
some little commission outside this routine he
has no more mind than a humming bird.
This would be all right if il wasn't for his
good nature. de is forever volunteering to
perform little services for me, and he does il
so amiably that / can't refuse him. Then be
will get the instructions all right, and, know
ing his faulty memory in such cases, will say.
=" TN just take this along as a reminder
Then he will pick up something off my
desk that | can't in the least afford to lose
and jam It in his pocket. Sometimes it's a
fancy paper weight, given me by somebody /,
sometimes my shears Once it was bottle
OF red ink, and the cork came out and the
red ink tric1led down the leg of his light
trousers, making it appear that he was bleed
ing to death. 1t is always something which
ought to be left alone, but l can't be disagree
able aud veto it, for he is so exceedingly
obliging always But he rarely brings bach
any Of these reminders and generally forgets
the errand just the same. Then when ask
him for the paper weight, or shears, or bottle
Of ink, or whatever the reminder may have
been, he fumbles through his pockets and de
clares he must have lost it. Well, he feels So
bad about it that | woaild be brute to say
anything mean, and just sigh and turn to
my work Chicago Mail.
