Money xippers' scheme.


WINDOWS lncorrlgible and afro
cious bill, which no one believes can
pass, will have the effect oil blocking
LEGISLATION favorable To silver. The
bill is now on The file of the Committee
oh Finance and is supporters will
therefore claim precedence fOr lis con-
sideraion and final passage rs coming
from the committee and hence will be
an obstacle in the line Of better one.
WINDOWS scheme il to start govern
m ntal broker oflice 10 peddle paper
in exchange for silver at the market
price, with its principal advisers and
manpnlalors at Wall street, who will
direct suspension Of the receipt of
silver bullion for treasury notes at any
fence and that Of London brokers.
The Secretary's intention is 10 convert
the treasury department Of the Nation
into peadliag institution for silver
and thus reduce the money metal Of
the people to u commodity trade IN
stead of being standard Of value
viii the silver producing States and
Territories relish such scheme
which will bring silver TO the same
level as Salt Lake eggs?
That Is not the least evil contained
IN WINDOWS infamous measure, for
should silver attain sufficient market
price, placing it on a footing with gold
rs a money metal and thus become u
standard Of value, which seems inpos-
sible, Windom wants the power, with
the consent Of the president who
| ackno Wedges he doesn't know much
abon, the subject and hasn't time to
study it, to suspend the receipt OF sill,
yer bullion and thus arrogaie to him,
self the power to contract The curren,
cy OF the country, . power WHICH
| would DC as dangerous as it is damna-
bic, It further provides for the re-
peal of the Act OF February 2sth 1878,
which requires the monthly purchase
and coinage into silver dollars Of not
.ess than S2,0000O0 nor more than 81,
100000 worth CT silver bullion, thereby
closing the qints Windows wicked
proposal will meet with ap opposition
evidcncing the rlghteons indignation
Of en- already oppressed people.
II the administration desires to be-
come despicable it should encourage
the other heads OF the executive to for
mulate bills To crush ghe remaining
industries RI the country out OF exist
ence. That would be as advisable as
to continue degrading silver as u
money metal and thereby paralyze the
mining lndus,ry which in the time of
need poured millions into ehs treasury
OF the Nation and enabled the Govern
meni to pay foreign bond holders 10
/ hard money instead of deprecated
paper.

F. Z. Moody: We sell twice MS much OF

c. A. SWAN: Hoods is the most popular

THIRTY OTHER druggists speak similarly.
This popularity at home, where Hood'a
sarsaparlla and its proprietors have been
known for many years, could not continue II
the medicine did not possess merit. And
these facts should certainly convince people
In other sectious of the country that Hoods
sarsaparlla is good, reliable medicine.

The Ohio Rlrer still Boz ming.

CINCINNATI, o., March 26.-The Ohio river
measured fifty-six feet ten inches, and rising
at the rate of two inches an hour. With no
more rain, a sixty foot river seems inevita-
Die, but with the cloudy sky and the mild
temperature, the outlook for more rain puts
most serious aspect on affairs along this
mighty stream. Within an hour it will have
passed the extreme point of the flood of a
few weeks ago. The river is rising at all
points below Pittsburg. There are many
families in the tenement houses, and citizens
along the river front will be compelled to go
into upper stories or to vacate their quarters
entirely. All of the roads except the Chesa-
peake j. Ohio and the Kentucky Central have
been compelled to abandon the Central Union
depot and to establish temporary depots at
points which can be reached. Railroad
freight traffic is greatly interrupted, and on
some roads must cease within the city limits.
Covington and Newport are cut off from
the city now as far as street car traffic is con-
cerned. The ferries also are obliged to stop
because they cannot find landing points. The
casualty list began to be made up when two
men and boy were drowned back of Cow
ington by the capsizing of a skiff. They
we're John Burk, Peter McGinnis and Will
liam Kinney.
Newport suffered more than any other
suburb by floods. Quite large district is
already fioaded and the residents are COM
pelled to vacate their houses.

Long Preparations to be Again Focused
on That rAte, When the Building
Trades Will Unite in Demand
ing IN Eight Hour Day.
Work Being Quietly But Thought to be
Surely Done-The Demand for shorter
Working Hours to be Enforced by
General Strike.

CHICAGO. March 22.-The Rights of Labor
publishes a resume of the situation through
out the country in the proposed movement
for eight hours a days work. 1t will say:
cat present there is much activity in the
field of organization among the trades unions
throughout the country. The work is being
done quietly, but nevertheless surely, and
The great trades unions are placing them
selves in a position to meet the draft that
will be made upon them on May 1, when the
eight hour day for the building trades will be
;naugurat5d. There is no indication that
the industrial centers of the country will pass
through such an exciting period as that pro-
duced by the labor commissions of four years
400. Employers and employees have both
been taught {. lesson by those events, and
otherwise, during 1886.
PITTsBURG, Pa. March 22.-The result of
the conference of the executive council of the
Federation of Labor, in New York last Sat
urday. has been made public here. Vice
President William Martin says: No one
,rade Will demand the eight hour law, nor
strike to enforce the demand. Mr.. Martin
said it was left entirely optional with each
trade whether they desired, or thought they
desired. or thought they could secure eight
hours for days work. 1t will also be op-
tional with the trades whether they will go
into the strike or not. That they will do so
is shown in the reply sent to the Federation
from most all trades saying they desired to,
and were able to win the day of eight hours.
AS it is left to the strongest trade, Pittsburg
and Wheeling districts will be represented by
the carpenters first asking conference with
the builders, ard if refused, demanding it.
New York and Boston stone masons will
probably make the first break in those cities,
to be followed by other strong organiza-

Preliminary to Restoring Rates.

CHICAGO, March 26.-The passenger depart
ment of the Trans-Missouri association met
in this city to discuss the question of restor-
ing rates west of the Missouri river. No
agreement could be reached. General Pas
sen 4 Agent Townsend, of the Missouri Pa
cific, attempted to justify his latest cut from
Kansas City to Pueblo by making the charge
that other roads were secretly cutting the
rate bv scalping Denver tickets via Pueblo.
This caused a hot debate, and the Rock Is
land people, who had been singled out as the
chief offenders, said that they were ready to
prove that the Missouri Pacific was guilty of
the irregularities it accused others of doing.
It was finally decided that no definite steps
could be taken toward restoring rates until
action was taken by lines east of the Missouri
river. The proceedings ended with adjourn
ment till Wednesday, when there will be
meeting of the reads of the old Western
States Passenger association.

ReIieffnr Farmers.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 2A-The MEM
bers of the house, both republicans and DEM
ocrats, who represent agricultural districts,
are beginning to grow little uneasy over
the situation among the farmers. That some
legislation should be enacted soon which will
tend to relieve the reported depression in
agriculture they all agree. Several bills
affecting matters relating to the interests of
agriculture will be taken up at once, and in
pursuance of an agreement of this sort the
Butterworth bill to prevent gambling In
farm products was made a special order.
There is general feeling among the MEM
bers from the agricultural districts of the
country, regardless of party, against dealing
in options. and it is probable that the Butter
worth measure, which is carefully drawn,
viii be paSSed.

the fury of the cyclone was principally felt
In Sumter. Every house was shaken to its
foundation, roofs were carried away, fence;
demolished and trees uprooted.
Ida Richardson was killed by a fallin,,
house; twomen, names unknown, were fatally
injured, and many persons were badly bruised

been done.
A special from Camden stated that the
cyclone struck house there, killing Mrs
Easterling, who was in the act of giving med
icine to her stepdaughter. The bed of the
sick child was torn to pieces and the mother

Weekly Trade Review.

NEW YORK, March A.-R. G. Dun & Co.'S
weekly review of trade says:
The volume of business is indisputably
larger than in any previous year at this sea-
son. The tonnage shipped east by rail from
Chicago continues larger than ever.
In some cases, as in iron, the only difficulty
or danger comes from the fact that a con-
sumption clearly the largest ever known is
probably surpassed by a production far be-
yond all records. Reports from every part
of the country represent trade as fully salts
factory.
In dry goods a prevailing feature is the ex-
treme caution of buyers, except faom the
south, which does larger business than ever,
but the state of trade is not encouraging.
Another important feature comes at time
when banks had begun TO seek commercial
paper more freely. Importers are rushing
in goods in anticipation of change of the
tariff, but in dress goods it is between sea-
sons. In mems wooden goods trade is light,
and many mills are not supplied with orders;
and in cottons, while sales are fair in volume,
the present high price Of material affects
profits. Cotton has been steady, receipts
falling 81, 0C0 bales and exports 10000 below
last years for the same week. Wool is dull
and weaker, the very best Ohio fleece COM
handing only SO and 3313 cents at Boston.
The trade in breadStrffs has been prlncl-
pally speculative, With advances of cents on
wheat and y cent on corn and oats, pork
also advancing so cents.
Coffee is weaker ON large estimates of yield
and sugar is dull. There is no activity in re-
fning, the Spreckels underselling that of the
trust.
Tbs monetary situation has changed for
the better moro distinctly so than any other,
the treasury having found means to pay out
100000 during the week more than it has
taken in.
Foreign exchange has risen II cents be-
cause of the scarcity of commercial bills, but
exports for three weeks from this port show
an increase of $1,000 900 over last year, or
per cent, while the decrease in imports is
nearly 100000. The stock market is af-
fected with dullness and the average price of
stocks, exclusive of the industrial lot, has
declined about 80 cents per share.
The railroads are doing large business,
but most stocks are so held and SO managed
that the public is not invited.
The business failures occurring throughout
the country during the last seven days num-
Der 255, as compared with total of 200 last
week. For the corresponding week of last
year the figures were 249.

Could Always Depend on George Crook

Could Always Depend on George Crook.
NEW YORK, March PA reporter was the
first to convey the news of the sudden death
of General George Crook to General William
Sherman. The hale old veteran was placidly
enjoying his inevitable cigar, but his hand
shook as he removed it to express his deep
concern and regret at the death of his old
comrade in the army. George Crook was
always man on whom we could depend"
said he, land was the most successful man
in dealing with the Indians that the United
States ever had in its service. The Indians
respected and trusted him, and he could bring
them around or make them amenable to rea-
son when everyone else failed. During the
rebellion Crook had charge of the Second
cavalry division, stationed in southern Ala
bama, and did excellent work. During my
fifteen years service as commandments
of the army, had ample opportunities to
find out Crooks good traits, and 1 never
found him anything but a man who could be
depended on in every emergency. The war
department will, of course, take the funeral
arrangements in hand. l suppose his wife
will want the remains inferred at Cumber-
land, her native place
