is 1T A FAKE?
Did Father Briody Have $4,000
in His Possession, if so Where
Did He Get 1t?

The following is taken from
the Minneapolis Tribune of May 6:
Rev. Father Briody, of Prince
ton, who entrusted his money and
a certificate of deposit on the Irish
American bank, of this city, to
New York policeman with sad re-
suits, is still lying i'll at St. Vim
cents hospital in that city. The
Sun prints an interview with one
of the sisters there, who says:
''There is nothing the matter with
his mind as far as we know, and
he is collected. He was not intox-
icated when he came here, but he
was very much excited"
But the Herald claims to have
interviewed him, and prints his
story to the effect that the police
man told him that he would care
for the money during the night
and would turn it oyer to him at
the Jefferson market court in the
morning. Thus assured, the priest
gave him his money and his gold
watch. He neglected to take the
policeman's name, but requested
the man to write the meeting place
on a piece of paper. The paper
with the words Jefferson Market
Court, Sixth avenue and Eleventh
street, the priest produced as evil
dence. The police captain Of the
precinct says that none of his men
took the money, as the slip is writ
ten in ink and patrolmen do. not
carry pens and ink.

An Apt Comparison.

Running dairy of COWS SO as to
have them dry in the winter, and
have nothing to sell from them,
when butter and cheese are high
est, is just about as smart, fnan-
cially, for a dairy farmer, as it
would be for manufacturer of
reapers to so gauge his business
that he would not have a reaper to
sell in the early summer, and could
only fill orders late in the fall,
when the snow was flying, and
there was no reaping to do.

his name to be used in connection
with the presidency. If such is
the case, than the president is no
doubt fully aware of it and he
ought to be grateful enough to be
generous, and not attempt to claim
the credit of what the greater man
has accomplished as part of his
administration.

1t is natural for some people to
be afraid that there will be trouble
between Senator Davis and Gov.
Merriam over the patronage which
is to be distributed in the State.
But let it be understood that these
gentlemen among themselves are
not worrying over the matter. It
is not at all likely that the gov
ernor has any desire to interfere
with patronage. And besides it
is not at all certain that he would
have any influence if he did have
this desire.

1t is waited here upon the wings
of rumor that the Democrats and
Alliance men have made such a
sure job of the old Third congress
sional district that no Republican
will be found who will care to run
in it, as defeat would only be
averted by a landslide. This be-
ing the case the same rumor SAYS
that the Hon. Joel P. Heatwole,
ex-politician, will lead the Republ-
cans in that district and give the
people of the State an exhibition
of quarter horse political running
that will astonish the whole party.
We would all like to see Mr..
Heatwole in congress.

the farmers. That view of the
case is only an eastern one.
What would make Rusk strong in
the West is not that he is the head
OF this department or that he
has accomplished any great good
for the farmers, but because the
people believe in his sterling in
tegrity and look upon him as aman
OF more ability than the ordinary
politician. We could elect Blaine
and Rusk easy enough. For that
matter we could elect Blaine and
anybody.

T. E. Byrnes who was at one
time appointment clerk in the
treasury department, was in
Washington after the meeting of
the National League in Cincinnati
and with the aid of President
Clarkson made a raid on the de-
partments and got a lot of good
workers fixed. Mr.. Byrnes was
long enough in the appointing
business to know how to work
good fellows into places. There
is no denying the fact that the
workers of party rather tie to a
man who can fix the boys with of
fetal places after the victory has
been won, and that idea seems to
predominant in the League under
its present management.

Make a Good Running
Team.

Union special Correspondence.
WASHINGTON, May. 10, 1891.
However much we may appre-
ciate the present chief magistrate
of the United States we can not
commend his style of assuming to
be the author of all that is popular
in his administration. Once be-
fore we had occasion to. remark
thatf he through his friends was
claiming to be the father of the
reciprocity clause which was the
most popular feature of the famous
Mckinley bill. That he is respon-
sible for these statements seems as
sured from the fact that his
speeches while ''swinging around
the circle' are full of reciprocity,
but no mention is made of the man
who forced the reciprocity clause
in the bill, James G.. Blaine.
There is another thing that does
not set we'll upon the feelings of
the Blaine men and that is the al
legations in the home paper of the
president and in his sons paper
that the correspondence upon the
|Italian affair was prepared and
handled by the president himself:
These are things that Blaine can
not take heed of but they are mat
tiers that do not find favor among
that great mass Of people who
know and admire Blaine. Moth
ing could he more absurd than the
claim that Harrison was either
responsible for reciprocity or that
he penned the able letters that so
completely settled the italian con-
troversy and placed this country
upon such a high pedestal in the
diplomatic world. It is useless to
60 over the questions and show
how Blaine was the master hand in
both cases, for the world and the
people of this country know the
facts.
Of course, there is no use to
abuse the president, or to say that
he is not a good president, for he
is. He is giving this country a
splendid administration. The Re-
publican party can well afford to
be proud Of it's record while Ben
jamin Harrison is at the helm, but
that is no reason why. he should
try in the least to detract from the
glory and splendid achievements
of that greatest man Of the present
day. And if the people Of this
country feel that they ought to
have him to lead the Republican
party on to victory when the time
comes, certainly Benjamin Harri-
son ought not attempt to stand in
his way.
Perhaps Blaine is not candi-
date. Perhaps he will not allow

These alloys will undoubtedly be largely

A cubic foot Of aluminium weighs 1853
pounds, while cubic foot Of steel weighs
400 pounds 1t has but little rigidity, but
great ductility, and hence can be rolled into
sheets, drawn into very fine wire and beat
into sheets almost as thin as gold leaf.
Aluminum's specific gravity is only

FACTS ABOUT ALUMINIUM.

Aluminium as q metal can never take the
place of iron and steel in machinery OF
structural work which requires rigidity
and strength.
The pure aluminium metal can be SOL
dered. but not as readily as most metals,
and is not capable Of as high polish aa
gold. silver or BRASS
Aluminum's tensile strength per square
inch is but $4,000 pounds, while that of
steel is 78.000, or three times as great. Its
tensile strength Is only about that of .cast
iron.
One Of aluminum's most valuable quail
tiles L. that It does not oxidize or rust, and
this quality will render 1t valuable for a
great variety Of purposes where great
strength IL not required.

A Vote Taken in the House on the
Free Coinage of Silver
Amendment
To the Appropriation Bill, and
the Amendment was
Ruled Out.
This Would Indicate that No Free
Coinage Bill Can Pass
this Congress.
Sounding the Deate Knell.

W~ASNINGTON, Feb. 6.-rhe house was
in committee of the whole to-day CD ap.
preparation bill. Payson, the chairman,
ruled out the free coinage silver amend.
ment as not germane to clause to which ii
had been attached. Appeal was taken,
and the chair sustained by a vote of 1874 to
1877. The house amendments to tile senate
to amend act FORGETTING certain railroad
land grants, were presented to senate and
concurred in, and the bill now goes to the
president. The action OF the house to-day
in sustaining the decision of Chairman
Payson by which BANDS free coinage
amendment to the sundry civil bill was
ruled out OF order, is thought by many to
mean that no free coin age bill can pass
this congress. There were probably some
republicans who voted to sustain the de-
ciSiOn of the chair, who himself is a silver
man, because they believed the decision
was in accordance with the rules. A d.
rect vote on the free coin &C bill might re-
suit differently, but it is not clear how a
direct vote on such a bill can be had dur
ing this congress. The majority of the
coinage committee have decided that they
need more information, to be acquired
through hearings, before they can vote in
telllgentIy ape the reporting or any sill
yer bill, and the vote to-day will probably
strengthen them in their position. Silver
mel have given up all hope OF getting any
sort of a report from the committee to-day.
Bland and BartiDe left the committee. re-
fusing to take any further part in its pro-
ceedings, since it was evident to them that
it was not the purpose of the committee
that anything should be done. In doing
this they placed all their faith in their
ability to force the issue before the house
by attaching the provision for free coin
age to the appropriation bill. TO do this
it was necessary, rs they all appreciated,
to override the decision OF the chair, which
necessarily would be in accordance with
the rules. To.day'S vote wa a test of their
strength on this sort of motion, and the
result makes it evident no attempt to at
tach free silver to the appropriation bill in
the house can carry. The leaders of re
pubiicanS do not propose to let free coin
age bill go to the president as a rider on
the appropriation if they can help it, as
this would make his position particularly
embarrassing and would probably result
in the failure of the appropriation bill,
making all extra session necessary. 1t is
asserted with positiveness that the presi-
dent has made up his mind that he will
veto any bill which carries free coinage,
even if it should be one OF the regular ap
preparation bills.
