A Move in tho Right Direction.

It is said that Rider Haggard has
turned vegetarian, and finds that he can
work longer and to better effect on a
meatless diet. One would think that,
when writing some of his blood-curdling
tales, he subsisted on an exclusive diet
of raw beef. Perhaps his stories will be
less startling hereafter

ington are not calculated to inspire
great hope of anything being done
favorable to the silver interest during
the present session Of Congress. The
work Of the caucus committees of
both Houses, which was apparently
progressing favorably until last We'd
nesday evening, has come to q full
stop by the weakening Of two Of the
members, who suddenly turned to the
right about face, joining with the
radical goldites in insisting upon the
redemption of certificates in bullion
instead of lawful currency of the
nation. The latter was the only re-
deeming feature in the bill partially
agreed upon by the caucus, and the
exceptional one which would COM
mend it to the approval Of any true
friend of the white metal The two
recalcitrant members are Mckinley,
of Ohio, and Cannon, of Illinois, who
it is understood were summoned to
the White House, where the views of
the Administration were very plainly
set forth upon the currency question,
and the assurance given that the
Senate proposition to redeem certif-
Gates in lawful money was not in &C
cord with the Presidents views and
would not meet with his approval,
although he was graciously disposed
to favor the monthly purchase of A.
100000 ounces, provided the redemp-
ton in bullion was agreed upon. The
dispatches report that "the friends of
silver in the Senate are very much
disturbed at the action Of their col
leagues in the House, and several
Western Republicans threaten to pro-
pose free coinage bin and push it
through with the votes of Democrats,
who are counted almost solid for
silver. Friends of the President state
that if it should pass it would cor
tainly be vetoed. It is quite certain
that the gold men are desirious oe
seeing each House pass different bills
in order that disagreement may be
brought about in the conference and
the silver problem laid to rest for at
least one more session" rimes-Re-
view.
We sincerely hope that the Repub-
lcan friends of silver in Congress will
not be frightened by the Presidents
antipathy to free coinage and the
almost certain contingency of the
veto Of free coinage bill, should
such be presented for his approval,
but that they will push the matter to
conclusion and cause the respons-
Utility of the failure Of such meas
IRE TO rest where it belongs, that the
country may know who are the friends

is no virtue whatever in the

visions amount to the same in the end
as would result to farmer who
would deposit his grain with NOR
chant or in mill and receive cor
tificate payable in the same kind of
grain at the price it should command
whom received, whether that be great
or or less than when the grain was
deposited. The law rs it now stands,
the Bland bill which was passed over

tho Window bill with all it's modi6ca-

Harrison or made the law Of tho land.
