WEDNESDAY. APRIL B. 1890.
LOOKING BACKWARD, AND FOR.
 WARD.

After many of the primeval forests of this country were exhausted then coal was discovered. After whale oil became scarce for Illuminating purposes then gss, petroleum and the electric light were discovered. We might multiply illustrations to prove that " necessity is the mother of invention" and we might truthfully say that necessity is also the mother of discovery, but the purpose of these few lines is to show that there is always some way provided for our necessities and there is no need of borrowing trouble about what we shall do when the supply of coal or any other present or seeming necessity is exhaus- ted. There is scarcely commodity for which no substitute can be found. To those who are always borrowing trouble or crossing bridges before they come to them, we recommend the following article which appeared in the editorial column of the Hartford Daily Courant of April 18th, under the caption of Looking Forward"
 The announcement in Saturday s Courant that the great power which runs down the Tarifville gorge Is to be used to light the city of Hartford has created deal of talk. It seems to be entirely feasible. and the chief criti- cism is the wonder that it did not come about sooner.
 Now that it is undertaken, it suggests the thought that this is only the beginn- ing of . phase of enterprise whose development cannot be measured. The imagination takes wing at the mere suggestion, and all things seem possible. Look at the power that runs to waste down the stream of every river in the country and think of how it can be turned into electricity, and, thus con- verted, can be put to practical use. Think of the tide, that great and irresistible wave, which sweeps the whole ocean and it's tributaries to and fro! What does it accomplish now beyond carrying off the garbage of our seashore cities
 Imagine the result of turning this power to use in driving the world s machinery. Even, besides the tides, think of the power of the waves. They rise and fall and who can measure the force that goes to waste in all this motion And, if we leave the water, whose density makes it more noticeable, and think simply of the air. which is almost always in active motion, what 8 power blows itself away in the wind. that might be caught and utilized, if only we were able to convert and store it.
 It Is no idle dream that before the coal beds are exhausted they -ill not be wanted, or that the mighty forces of nature, which we let play about us, or rather which move along all about us entirely beyond our power to check them, may before long be made to do our work for us without interfering with their own mighty and irresistible progress. Every breeze will add to our working force, and every sea-storm store the land with energy and the story will be told as 8 wonder of how amid such forces the ill-informed people of the nineteenth century dug coal at great labor and burned it at great loss to secure but trifle of the power that was running to waste all about them.

MT. Parnell's ent.

LONDON, April 21.-Great interest centers in Mr. Parnell's amendment to the Balfour land purchase bill, which the Irish leader is expected to offer when debate on the bill is resumed today. MT. Gladstone is ex- pected to make an important speech in support of the amendment. The possibility that MT. Parnell will also speak adds to the interest. He is heard so rarely, and there is so much mystery and singularity about him, that his set speeches are regard. ed as marked events. As for MT. Glad stone he now attracts, not alone by his great fame as statesman and orator, but also by the fact, which every one realizes that the privilege of hearing him must soon, in the course of nature, be @ thing of the past

WINDOWS SILVER BILL.
The Secretary of the Treasury
 Writes a Letter.
THE GOOD WORK OF HIS MEASURE.

What He Says It Will Accomplish If It
 Becomes a Law-The Secretary and the
 Silver Men-They Should Be Satisfied,
 He Says.
 WASHINGTON, April 21.-Secretary Win dom has written letter to a western cor respondent on the present status of the silver question, in which he says: "The bill recommended by the treasury was framed mainly for two purposes-first, to meet the demand for an increase of circulation; and second, to enhance the value of silver by providing for it an additional and safe use of money. If approved by congress it will in my judgment, accomplish both of these objects.
 What the Bill Will Accomplish.
 'To the silver interests it offers every substantial benefit that can be granted without peril to our financial system and far greater advantage than can be found in free coinage. To those who demand more money it offers an annual increase of from $50, ,OOO, ,OOO to s6O, 900, ,OOO
 'To those who insist upon a sound cur rency, it gives the amplest guarantee, but to those who would inflate the currency by injecting into it large volume of money without adequate safeguards against de. preciation, it offers no comfort whatever. And right here is found the secret of much of the opposition to some of it's redemption features"
 Concessions to Silver Men.
 He dwells at length on the concessions which are made to the silver men, and adds, What more can the advocates of silver coinage demand? Surely nothing, unless they desire to compel the treasury to force standard dollars into our circulation for the sole purpose of depreciating and de grading it. Is it not enough that we take nearly one-half of the worlds silver prod uct and lock it up in order to increase the value of the other half; that we join the silver producers in the most gigantic corner ever organized and that we give to the owners of silver bullion the right and the power to convert every ounce ot our production into standard silver dollars if they chose to do so?
 What Is Asked in Return.
 "For all these unparalleled concessions to the silver interests, what is demanded in return? Only the privilege of protecting the honor and credit of the nation by a grant of power to redeem it's notes in either gold or it's equivalent of silver bullion"
 This he holds is absolutely necessary for the preservation of the high credit of the government. He concludes by saying: q know of but two ways by which the pro- posed issue of treasury notes can be anchor ed to the recognized values of the commer cial world. One is the bullion redemption feature provided in the treasury bill and the other is authority to sell bonds in order to provide reserve fund to meet the con stantly increasing volume of proposed treas ury notes. The latter I believe to be both unnecessary and unjustifable. The former believe to be entirely practicable and safe"

The Programme in Congress for the Com.
 F h. ing Week. -
 WASHINGTON, April 21. - Today the Worlds fair bill comes up in the senate as the special order, and MT. Hawley, who has the bill in charge, will insist upon it's con- sideration. There is likely to be some de bate on it's various provisions, as Messrs Blackburn and Vest expect to speak. The land forfeiture bill is on the programme, but may be laid aside to take up the ad ministrative customs bill, upon which there will be considerable discussion, although the bill has already passed the senate very nearly in it's present form. Some of the Democratic senators are in position to make this bill peg upon which to hang political speeches There is no particular hurry about the land forfeiture bill, but from the efforts made by MT. Plumb to have it take precedence last Friday there is chance that he will make another effort this week, and if it gets up it is likely to be the subject for Fridays debate. Satur- day the senate takes up the calendar.
 The business of the house during the week be greatly influenced by the caucus of Republican representatives on the silver question. Should satisfactory bill be agreed upon in the caucus it will be brought up for discussion and pushed to a conclusion before the end of the week. This is the disposition at present. Other matters of general interest will also be brought forward in ths house. Today the house took up the conference report on the Oklahoma territorial bill. This is priv legged matter and takes precedence of nearly all other business The judiciary com mittee is anxious to bring up the national bankruptcy bill during the week, and will probably succeed in doing so after the ap- propriations committee gets the legislative, executive and judicial appropriation bill out of the way. There is also chance that the judiciary committee may call up the copyright bill. No agreement has been reached between the leaders of the two sides of the house concerning the tariff dis cussion, but MT. Mckinley wants to have it begin during the first week in May, and his plan will probably be carried out.
