WAS THERE A SILVER POOL7
The Investigation Goes Merrily on, But Facts
Are Scarce.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 2G.-In the silver pool
Investigation today Senator Cameron tcsti-
fled that he bought some silver on margin
in the early part of June, before the silver
bill was passed by the Senate, and disposed
of it before the bill became a law. lie had
no knowledge of any other Senator, repre-
sentative or official of the government
having any interest in the purchase of sill
yer.
Cameron said he bought silver just as he
would any other commodity, and gave the
matter no thought lie never knew Ow-
enby, and never talked with other Senators
about the silver pool. John Tanner, of
Illinois, knew nothing Of the silver pool or
transactions except one dealing of his own.
The correspondent of Chicago paper, r.
D, Bogart, was questioned relative to state
mcnts made in his dispatches, he having
said among other things that Congressman
Flower was in the pool. He said he was
repeating what was commonly known
among correspondents. He had no per
sonal knowledge. f. G. Dunnell, cores
pondent of the New York Times, was
asked concerning IL dispatch sent by him,
saying in substance that il Payne and
Dingley, members Of the committee, had
known revelations regarding Cameron

spoken the truth. He would consult the

THE Nihilists are charged with two more
murders in Russia. One victim, q captain
of the police, was horribly tortured and the
corpse placarded with q warning to spies.
Another was wealthy widow, who was
found strangled in her bed, and not val

THE Portland Oregonian, in opposing the
bill for the free coinage of American silver,
raises the cry that it pays the miner a
bounty and makes donation to the silver
men. While this is a matter by no means
admitted, it certainly would not be unfair
if, after twenty-five years of paying bounty
to the manufacturer OF his clothes, house
hold goods, etc, by way of protective tariff
taxes, the tables should be turned and the
miner be protected by this free coinage,
which is justly his right.

Bay City Tribune: General Aiger Is au-
thority for the statement that the coming
encampment at Detroit will be the greatest
event of its kind in the history of the G. A.
X. We trust that this item will not come
to Governor Winans' notice, for candidly we
have no desire to lacerate the feelings of the
poor old man.
The following from an exchange, is full
of truth: A large number of the farmers go
west every year in search of better lOca-
ton. They leave the fertile soil of Michigan
and travel thousands of miles to find nothing
but clay and sand, billiards and cyclones.
They sell off their well stocked farms and
improved grounds to locate on plain where
not a sign of a tree or shrub Is to be seen,
and in the end return to Michigan broken
down in heart and with hardly enough to
keep body and soul together. Take warn
ing.
The annual vacation period is at hand.
Happy is the man who can for few weeks
lay aside the burdens and worries of his
business and take respite. 1t is not the
work OF body or the labor of brain that kills,
but the fret and worry of mind over pos
sbilities. The conscientious man who as
sumes business obligations that are con-
tingent at all upon the display of sagacity
and energy from day to day, is always more
or less worried on the possibilities that i'll
health or untold circumstances may prevent
his fulfillment of obligations. 1t IS the
worry over possible inability to meet fully
all the responsibilities that he assumes,
which worries the conscientious man.
Such men are often falsely accused of
devOting their energies to the accumulation
of wealth, when in fact they are only bend
ing every energy to keep their honor good.
Such men soon wear out, unless they can
secure some relief by seasons of rest. If
they could work and not worry, they would
seldom tire, but work and worry soon kill.

what is the value" is the heading of an
article in the Reporter regarding street
railway franchise, and then proceeds to put
the question::
IF the council really believe in the great
value of the franchise, why would it not be
"a good idea to advertise it for sale and If
they succeeded in making sale, take the
proceeds and pay the water bonds, pave the
streets, put in system of sewerage, etc."
The knowledge Of municipal matte IS dis
played by such question is not creditable.
Probably at present the franchise for street
railway is not valuable. 1t is, however,
prospectively valuable. No company would
ask for franchise or put one dollar into
road that was not prospectively so. Any other
proposition is contrary to business principles,
notwithstanding the Reporters state
ment that it might possibly never pay. The
question is not whether we will have street
railway or not, but whether the franchise
will be so guarded that the rights that now
belong to the city will not be placed out of
our hands. When the city has increased
the right of the city to share the results of
its growth should not be placed beyond its
reach. 1t is wholly against the principles of
good municipal government to assume that
"a franchise is worthless and make no pro-
vision for contingencies. The same fore
sight in years gone by would have prevented
special charters for Michigan railroads and
the difficulty which Detroit labors under at
present. The newspaper that poses as the
champion of the rights of the people,, now
want those rights yielded because there is
no present value. The future should be
provided for as well as the present.

A strange case Of myopia effected the
Press editorial column this week, when IL
pretended to see that the price of tin-plate
did not advance because there was so much
tin shipped in before the tariff went into
effect, and then, just as soon as this supply
is worked off, up goes tin. The wool ques-
ton is then taken up and wool is low be-
cause of the tariff. No mention is made of
the great amount of wool shipped in prior to
the tariff law becoming operative. In other
words the tin men were wiser than the wool
men, and the wisdom of the tin makers is
heralded. But right here this story runs
against the snag OF last falls campaign
stock about the higher prices that the labor
ing man had to pay upon the tin-pail
which contained his dinner, and in McKln-
sley's district rag-buyers were started out in
the country and when they paid for their
purchases the price of tin goods was adj
svanced 100 per cent when the astonished
person asked why, he was told that it was
all ON account of the Mckinley bill. Yet in
the meantime, according to the Press, tin
was being piled up at the custom house in
unusual quantities, in order to escape the
duty. The real reason for the cheapness Of
tin is the fact that American mills are COM
mencing to manufacture and that the Welsh
manufacturers have lowered the price to the
American trade, paying the duty out of the
profits, because they hope in this way to
