SHORT STOPS.

What the People are Saying.
The mayor may be a good-fellow-
well-met among his choice cronies,
but he must at the same time MAIN
tain such q character as to be the
pride of the people over whose most
important interests he presides.
When an intelligent citizen adj
vances the suggestion that the defeat
OF the present boss rule of our city is
impossible becauCe of the Mexican
vote controlled by the administration,
he pays poor compliment to the
5000 other voters of the city.
The city controls, 1t is true, GER
train voting force, in fact, owns GER
tain number of voters, by reason of
city employment, and controls indi-
rectly other voters through the pri-
vate conferation interests which have
been favored and fostered by the
city government, but if the
business men, the taxpayers
of the city should resolve
upon change; call out your respecta-
BILE citizens to make ticket; and an
nOunced that election day should be
q holiday and that they would attend
the voting places In person to see
how the business was conducted and
to work in the Interest of good city
government, would it be possible for
the paid servants of these taxpayers
TO be at them?
Is it not fact that the business
men and taxpayers, who besides pay
ing the salaries of the mayor and
other city officers, thecontractors and
the bondholders, the street improve
ments, the school bill, and the every
thing, give employment to more
working people than the city ma
chine, and If the machine is turned
against the taxpayers, the taxpayers
only need turn against the machine
as in the waterworks deal and the
result will not be uncertain.

THE SILVER QUESTION.
The Republicans of tho Senate and Hous<
Discuss the Subject In Caucus.

The Republicans of tho Senate and House
Discuss tho Subject In Caucus.
WASHINGTON, April ia meeting of
the committee appointed by the Repub
lican caucus to consider the silver ques-
tion was held last night at the home of
Senator Sherman. Some progress was
made, but the bill to be presented to the
caucus was not definitely determined
on.
One point has bee n made clear during
those deliberations thus far-that some
thing very like unlimited coinage is to
meet with the approval Of the Senate at
this session of Congress. The work of
the caucus committee now 10 directed
to preparing compromise measure on
which the Republican members of the
Senate can unite, but the information
has come to tho Republican Senators
with some directness that the Demo-
cratic Senators will vote almost without
exception for free coinage and as several
Republican Senators must vote with
them on this point free coinage $50 far
as the Senate can determine the Ques-
tion) seems almost assured.
This information comes from the
most reliable sources, and it is the in
formation on which the Republican
caucus committee is acting. Some of
the Republican Senators are bitterly
opposed to unlimited coinage, and how
to reconcile them and the silver advo-
Gates so as to prevent q split in the
Republican ranks is the problem with
which the caucus committee is wrest-
ling.
The Republican members of the
House held caucus last night to con-
slider party policy. The silver ques-
ton was taken up Immediately and
discussed at great length. During
the discussion a remarkable feeling in
favor Of unlimited coinage developed,
and If present indications are of any
value the House and Senate will join be-
fore long in passing a bill providing
for free coinage

WASHINGTON, April 1.-The report Of
the Committee on Banking, appointed
by the International American Con-
terrence to consider methods of improv-
ing and extending the banking and
credit system between the several coun-
tries represented in the conference, IL
made public.
the commerce between the American
countries might be greatly extended If
proper means could be found for faciH-
tating direct exchanges between tho
money markets of the several countries
represented in this conference, even If
there were no improvements in trans
portation.
After considering various methods to
accomplish this the committee believes
that the best means for facilitating the
development of banking business, and,
generally, of financial relations between
the markets of North, South and Cen
trail America, as we'll as for improving
the mechanism of exchange without
calling on any government whatever to
e4ceeo ltb proper AuuCt1oub, Wou1O
be the passage of law by the United
States incorporating An international
American Bank, with ample capital,
with the privilege on the part of the
citizens of the several countries in the
conference to take shares in such bank
pro rata to their foreign commerce !;
which bank should have no power to
emit circulating bank notes, but which
should have all other powers now en-
joyed by the national banks of the
United States as to deposit and
discount, as well as all such
powers as are now possess
ed by firms of private bankers
in the matter of issuing letters
of credit and making loans upon all
classes of commodity, buying and SELL
ing bills of exchange, coins, bullion,
and with power to indorse or guarantee
against proper security and generally
to do whatever can already be done
by the great banking firms who are car =
rying on their business without the aid
| Of corporate charters under the laws Of
| general partnership.

exhibition of Keeley's "vibratory force"
in Philadelphia on Saturday last. The
mysterious inventor abrogated the law
of gravitation, making dense bodies rise
and float in clear water and hold them
selves suspended at the rule of his vibra-
tory engine. Other wonders were plain
~ and fairly produced. DR. Leidy is one
Of the greatest scientific authorities liv-
ing. At the close Of the exhibition, AS
he turned away, he said with authority
and with the full understanding that he
was speaking for publication "You

thority that John E. w. Kelley has dis
covered a new and wonderful force"

A Catholic Archblshop's Circular Letter
that IL Causing = STIR.

TORONTO, Ont, April 11.-There is con-
siderable excitement in religious circles
in this city over the circular letter just
issued by Archbishop Cleary to the
clergy of his diocese. Orangemen are
very bitter in their denunciation of the
Archbishop.
The circular, which is to to be read in
all the churches, charges the priest to
call upon every rate payer who deliber-
ately chooses to side with the enemy
for the gradual destruction of Catholic
education in the province and announce
to him in the name and authority OF
the Bishop that his action is rebellion
against the church and that the Arch
bishop reserves to himself alone, or in
his absence to the administrator, all
power of absolving such rebellious
Catholic from his sins unless he shall
have signed written declaration that
he heartily repents of having injured
the Church and scandalized his neigh
bors by his withdrawal of his taxes
from Catholic education and shall have
promised to become a supporter of the
separate school at the earliest oppor-
tunity. On receipt of such written
declaration any priest of the diocese
may grant absolution.

THERE has been no year since the war
not even that remarkable one Of 1874.
which was followed by seventy or eighty
democratic majority in congress-when
the local election Of the country showed
such steady and sweeping gains against
the party in power as they have shown
in the north, the center and east this
year-everywhere, indeed, in which the
people have voted. 1t indicates not only
a widespread feeling of dissatisfaction
on the condition of the tariff, but an en-
phatic disapprobation of the course Of
President Harrison, the action OF
Speaker Reed, and the unscrupulous eff
fort, as seen in the Montana election and
in other instasces, to overthrow the in
fluence of the people in our form of
government.

Discovery of a Plot to Liberate tho MUIR

JOLIET, ILL.,, May "a sensation was
unearthed in the peni tentiary Wednes-
day. The officers became aware that a
conspiracy was being hatched and
brought into the Office convicts Burke,
Schell, who is an ex-policeman of Chice-
go; Kavanaugh and Meyers, alias Null
doom. The four were stripped and on
each was found big roll of money and
on Burke bottle of whisky. Meyers
also had letter to his friends asking
for money to be sent in care of Mr.. Bar
rett, who has been here fourteen years.
Barrett is foreman for Winterbotham &
Sons, owners of the cooper shop in the
prison.
Meyers said that Barrett had been
supplying the convicts in the cooper
shop with letters and carrying letters
from them to outsiders, and also fur
nishing them with delicacies, for which
they paid. Barrett's horse and buggy
was in a shed locked up, he only having
key. In his buggy were found several
packages of sugar, sardines, whisky,
cake and other stuff for the convicts.
Barrett's friends say it is a put up job
by the convicts because he is severe
with them, but this is laughed at by the
officers. 1t is said that conspiracy for
wholesale escape, including the three
Cronin murderers, was about to be made
and that the solitary is full of prisoners
Foreman Barrett was suspended from
duty pending an investigation and Tom
Hill, another foreman in the cooper
shop, who it was discovered was acting
as mail carrier for the suspects, was dis
charged
