fN3eign countries. The die was
lent, and, as far as the Senate can
cftapel II to do so, this country has
1hfpwn down the gauntlet to the
eutire financial world, and proposes
ts make silver the equal Of gold in
ey.ry respect in this country, what

a4r. Blaine has right to feel
lpyYud of the sentiment which the
lss5lon of the. British government,
N attempting to Ignore the execu-
1--we branch of this government by
Iaiipealing to the United States Su-
IPnme Court for help, has evoked.
Ilawas the one thing needed to Sc
llidify American sentiment IN sup
Ft of the stand taken by this adj
| Irnistration. To-day Congress is
practically a unit in support of Mr..
/ Laine, whereas there had been a
Imposition previously among Dem
H,fats to sneer at Mr.. Blainc's meth
ms Of conducting the Behring Sea
4 negotiations. The sentiment now
! listing among Democrats may bel
lhadged by the action of Represen-
Itstive Enlce, of Tennessee, who has
u 1t,ft Xsx hn
Mouse reciting the action of the
EBritish government and declaring
@at this action is in derogation of
he dignity of the United States,
&nd providing that a copy of this
resolution shall be sent to the Brit
lyeh government. General Hooker,
tne of the Oldest Democratic MEM
bers of the House committee on
fpreign affairs, says: "Mr. Blaine
! Rill come out all right. ] have
freat confidence in him: / differ
!, Nth him in politics but have great
\ x0nfidence in his ability to manage
gAnything he undertakes"

s 1amber as Well as the salaries OF
/ sKe empi0yees Every thing fncvn-
nection with the exposition is mov-
ing along nicely and points to a
!. general success.
r Postmaster General. .Wanamakel
has, at the direction of the Presi-
!. dent, abolished the postoflice at
5, Catharine, Alabama, because of the
action of some of the citizens of that
a place in driving the Republican
postmaster away from his office.
q Secretary Window has decided
;. as he was compelled to under the
), present law, that the director OF
the Philadelphia mint was right in
n declining to coin a silver brick
r which was presented to him by the

% There is an interesting rumol
>. hero that the pins are being set W
to have Perry Belmont, the young
man who, when chairman of The
House committee on foreign affairs
few years ago, gained some valu
able although painful experienc,
