WASHINGTON, Feb. ia quiet move
ment is on foot among Harrison's friends
to secure an improvement in the quality
of delegates elected from the south to
the national convention. It a notorious
though uncomfortab fact that many
colored delegates in former conventions
were merely purchasable article, sell
ing their votes to the highest bidder
after arriving at the convention. 1t is
hoped by the selection of whites to dis.
courage this custom and at the same
time get a class of delegates who can be
relied on. The administration will alsC
insist that no ofiiceholders go as dele
gates to the convention.

pensions for Ex-Confederates.

JACKSON, Miss, Feb. 12.-The house
has passed bill appropriating $64, 200 a
year for pensions. This will give those
now ON the rolls $50 each. The present
appropriation is only 100000. The bill
provides that all INDECENT Confederate
soldiers, sailors, servants and the indi-
gent widows of such shall be entitled to
$50 per month, unless the number at this
rate exceeds the appropriation, in which
event the amount shall be pro-rated be-
tween them. Ii is estimated that the
INDECENT clause will put at least 5000 Oh
the rolls in few years compared with
the 1880 now on. If this turns out true
the amount that each will receive will
only be about $l2 The bill makes the
auditor the pension commissioner.

W. CLIQUE OF BULLION MEN.
How the Government Is Systematically
Robbed.

Robbed.
CHICAGO, Feb 12.-Charles +. McCon
nell, banker of Montrose, Colo, in an
interview here said: Prices paid by
the government for silver bullion under
the present coinage act are controlled by
a clique or ring of spectators who raise
or depress silver quotations at their own
pleasure and for their own profit. | do
not make this charge from hearsay or
rumor. do know it to be fact and /
am personally acquainted with some of
the men composing the combination
Some western silver men are in it, but it
is made up chiefly of eastern spectators.
The mint buys silver twice month. re-
ceiving sealed bids. BY some means,
known but to themselves, the manipula-
tors of the silver market always know
these dates of purchase far in advance
anyone else.
Between the days on which the gov
eminent buys silver the price is de-
pressed, but when the United States is
in the market as a purchaser quotations
go up, and the ring takes its profit. Not
only is the government mulcted in this
way, but the silver producer on small
scale, who, not getting into the ring,
is simply robbed. Many members
of congress are fully aware OF the exist.
ence of this silver clique and know all
about its manipulations if they do moi
share in its profits"

ABOUT THE CENSUS.
INVESTIGATION ORDERED BY THE
PRESIDENT.

superintendent Porter's Friends Very
Much Incensed at the Action of Mr.. Har.
rison-Complaint from Sc. Louis Furni.
ture Board of Trade.
NEW YORK, Feb. IA Washington
dispatch affir1ns that dispatch was sent
to the interior department asking Secre.
tary Noble to come to the white house
Immediately upon important business.
The secretary responded and was clos
eted with Mr.. Harrison over half an
hour. The result of this conference was
that Mr. Noble returned to the interior
department in haste and summoned into
his private room two of his most trusted
assistants. The gentlemen selected for
this important investigation were A. G.
Toner, chief of the appointment division.
and George w. Evans, chief of the
finance division. They were instructed
to lay aside all other work and begin at
once thorough and systematic over
hauling of the census bureau.
They were told that the investigation
was at the personal request of the presi-
dent and that Mr.. Harrison would be
glad to have report at as early day
as is consistent with conscientious in
vestigation. Mr.. Toner and Mr.. Evans,
however, were unable to begin their
labors until Tuesday morning. They
were cautioned to keep their investiga-
ton as secret as possible, but the fact
necessarily became known to several
people. Mr.. Portey's friends, who have
heard of it, are very much incensed at
this action of the president
When the investigation was ordered
Mr.. Porter was not in the city and had
been away for several weeks. They pro-
nounced it taking unfair advantage of
the superintendent, and said that if there
was anything the president could not
understand before putting the experts
to work, he should have asked the
superintendent to explain it.
One of the things Secretary Noble is
particularly interested in is complaint
from the merchants of st. Louis. 1t
was signed by r. e. Lasher, president
of the st. Louis furniture board of trade
and was dated Jan. %.
Mr.. Lasher called attention to the
vast interests represented by the men,
bers of the board of which he was
president. He said that Superintendent
Porter, when he made his speech to the
Commercial club of st. Louis, on Nov.
81, gave in detail the manufacturing
statistics upon which the merchants of
st. Louis relied and based their calcu-
lations and which have since, to
their great indignation, been proven
to be altogether unreliable and
worse than worthless. The letter con.
tinues by stating that Chief Special
Agent Baines had publicly stated six
months ago that his field work was com.
pleted, and added upon the authority OF
Mr.. Porter that the manufacturing sta
tistics would be sent out in an official
bulletin from the census Office within
ninety days.
81 want to call your attention." says
Mr.. Lasher, so the fact that Superin
tendent Porter stated that he had
plenty of money with which to com
plete the work. With plenty of money
and ample time the merchants of st
Louis feel justified in requesting thai
you inform them the cause of this APP
parent neglect and unwarranted delay.

but as benefit to society, there may be
few at first to indOrse such position as cor
rect. and vet very strong arguments can be
adduced in its support. Suppose there
should be general and uniform distribu-
ton of the wealth of the world per capita.
how long would such uniformity continue?
The prudent. economical and industrious
would accumulate; the idle, imprudent and
vicious would diSSipate. The equality
would commence at once to be disturbed.
and the existing inequality would soon be
again re established. Equality to temporal
conditions is impossible so long as human
nature remains unchanged. It can only be
maintained by the universal recognition,
adoption and practical application of the
principles of christianity; by the recOgni
ton of the universal brotherhood of the hui
man race; of loving ones neighbOr as one
self; of community of transformations i'm
possible except to those who regard the
things of this world as possessing no value
and who seek their treasures in the heaven
only. Until the millennium. inequalities in
temporal conditions must continue to exist;
whether such inequalities shall or shall not
be beneficial to the interest of society de,
ponds upon the use made of accumulated
surplus and this again upon the character
of the individual in whose possession it may
be found. In all civilized countries surplus
wealth. representing the accumulatiOnS of
labor. must be found. This surplus may
rest in the hands of individuals. or in cor
pOratiOns constituting associations of indi-
viduals. or in the treasures of governments
representing the whole population of ma
tiOn-Church Union.
