THE story that Russell b. Harrison
'avors the retirement Of his father and
the advancement Of Blaine as the re-
publican candidate for the next presi
dency must be taken with salt. Russell
b. is an accommodating gentleman and
would sacrifice no little to promote the
interest Of a dear friend, but the belief
that he would willingly sacrifice the
father OF the son for Blaine or any other
mar cannot be entertained for a moment.
One must go up higher to find such self,
mmolation upon the altar of party.

THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE.
SATURDAY. JANUARY Is. 1879.
THE SILVER SITUATION.

The doubtful Thomases will soon be
convinced that a free coinage bill will
be sent to the president. While the timid
fear that the passage of such a bill will
injure the prospects of democrats at the
presidential election the majority of
democratic representatives at Washing
ton is Of the opinion that the interests
OF the country demand the settlement Of
the silver question at the earliest date
possible, and that the only way to settle
it is 70 keep it before congress until that
body take definite action upon it. This
view of the situation is strengthened by
tn fact that d uumbcr Of bills all pro
yidimg for the FREQ coinage of the metal
has bccn introduced. The Stewart bill
in the senate ard the Bland bill in the
house are the most prominent and will
attract the most attention.
Mr.. Bland is chairman Of the house
committee on coinage, weights and
measures and he will have charge of all
free coinage bills introduced in that
body. His own bill will be the only one
seriously discussed in the house. 1t diff
fers somewhat from any other free coin
age bill ever presented in either branch
of congress inasmuch as it provides that
when France shall reopen her minis TO
the free coinage of silver at the ratio of
1873 to l the president of the United
States shall proclaim the fact whereupon
the French ratio shall be the ratio Of
this country and that the standard silver
dollar shall contain 400 grains of standard
silver instead of 4l21s grains as at pres
ent. His bill also provides for the issue
of coin notes and their redemption in
coin.
Neither Senator Stewart nor Repre-
sentative Bland expects his bill to be-
come a law. Either may pass both
houses, but neither would receive the
approval of Harrison. He stands ready
to interposc his veto to any bill looking
to the free coinage of silver. But the
knowledge of this fact does not deter
those stalwart champions of the white
metal from urging the necessity of free
coinage upon tue attention of congress.
While this is being done a move is
being made by prominent representatives
Of both parties to rclcSatc the silver
question to an international congress to
be held in Chicago next year. The OBJ
ject OF this move is tWOfold. First. to
prevent It becoming an issue in the en-
suing presidential campaign: and, sec
ond, TO submit it to the determination Of
all European powers especially the
Latin uuion-interestcd in the coinage
of the metal. But whatever action may
be taken IN regard to silver the situation
OF the metal, in view of the presidents
hostility to free coinage, will remain I'M
changed until after December. 1893. A
new congress Will then assemble and q
new president occupy the white house.
Ii both be democratic the silver question
will be forever settled by the enactment
Of a free coinage law, Until that wished
Tor time shall colno we may expect to

GRAINS or TRCT'H

The following from the Wallace
Idaho Press contains several grains of
unchallenged truth. The Press doubt
less refers to the Deer Lodge Picket and
the River Press as the two democratic
papers silenced by republican Doodle.
The Picket has gone to the enemy. The
River Press well. the River Press is the
River Press and there you have it,
The republican doodle gang of Mon
tana is preparing for the campaign this
year in earnest. They have already 81
fenced two democratic newspapers by
buying them and turning tic democrats
out to hunt new fields Tor their labors
and politics, and the campaign commit
tee is looking around for a chance to
spike some more democratic guns. As
Montana is an evenly divided political
state one good newspaper in the hands
OF AN intelligent editor will do more to-
ward making votes than a bushel of
money would in the hands of a "cam-
paign committee" 1t costs less to buy
newspapers than it does to corrupt AN
election. The republicans are getting
too wise in their day and generation, and
it behooves the democrats Of Montana TO
look after the press.

THE GILLIAN IMBROGLIO.

The Baltimore investigation which
has been conducted at Vallejo, Cal, dur
ing the past few days is concluded
and the American people will
not be slow in making up their verdict.
And the verdict will be that the attack
upon the Baltimore's sailors by the Val
paraiso police, assisted by uniformed
Gillian soldiers, was ~unprovokcd and
brutal in the extreme. The testimony
Of the Baltimore surgeons conclusively
shows the criminal neglect Of the
wounded men by the hospital authorities
and that the death of one Of the sailors
was directly due to his barbaric treat
ment by them. In summing up the evi
dence adduced it appears the outrage
was premeditated by the mob; that the
police. instead OF trying to check it in its
savage work, aided it, and that CHILEAN
soldiers were a willing party to the MUIR
derous attack upon the defenceless
sailors.
As the true inwardness OF the outrage
is being brought to light the gravity Of
the situation becomes apparent. 1t is
evident that a simple apology from Chill
can nOt now be accepted by the United
States government. This country must
demand not only an apology, but ample
reparation for the misdeeds of the Val.
paraiso mob and full indemnity to the
wounded men and to the families OF
those who were killed or who were dis
abled for life. In view of what this gov
eminent must deman of Chill the mat
ter has assumed a very serious aspect.
Senators and representatives in congress
who have heretofore treated the subject
lightly now admit that the situation is
pregnant with grave consequences. The
dignity Of the United States must be
maintained let the cost be what it may
1t is not a question upon which party
lines can or will be drawn. In this mat
ter we are Americans. jealous of the
honor of our country.
1t is hoped the contention may be
amicably settled, but Gillian pride and
haughtiness may force this country Off
the lines Of peace TO settle it. There is
no question that the lower classes of
Chill are intensely embittered against
the United States on account of the part
the latter took in the Itata affair. They
are impressed with the belief that the
Americans were inclined to favor Balma-
celia. This belief runs in a greater or less
degree through the higher classes those
in authority. therefore none of them are
disposed to be amiable in their dealings
with our people or our country. And
then again the Chilians possess great
confidence in their ability to carry ON a
winning fight with this or any other coun-
try. They were successful with Peru and
overthrow their own government. The
more ignorant believe their nation is in
vincible, while the rulers are arrogant
and full of %conceit. These sentiments.
entertained by Chillans generally, stand
in the way of an amicablc settlement of
the difficulties between the two coun-
tries, 1t may take a little bloodlctting
to reduce those proud descendants of
naughty Spanish sires to a submissive
mood. II this be found necessary Uncle

TREATMENT OF DANDRuFF.

Extract From a Lecture BY DIR. j. HI. Eel-
Iogg, of the Battle Creek Ssnitarium.
Dandruff, if excessive, is species of
dry catarrh of the skin or scalp, which
is characterized by the throwing off of
dry, white scales too profusely. Man
is a scaly creature like fish, as Is
proven by the microscopical examina-
ton of the epidermis. These scales are
rubbed off by the clothing and are sis-
ible upon anything black. When one
takes a Turkish bath, the perspiration
softens up this epidermis and the sham
pooling which follows takes it off, so, to
a certain extent, one is skinned while
taking bath of this kind. Now this
process is going on all the while and
the parts which have the most attrition
with external bodies, those which are
most exposed, are kept the most thor
oughly clean and free from this condi-
ton. For instance, we do not have
these scales upon the palms of the hands
because the frequent contact Of the
palm of the hands with various objects
keeps the dead scales rubbed off. For
obvious reasons the scales upon the
skin of the scalp are more liable to ac-
cumulate than elsewhere, even when
the skin is healthy. When hats and
bonnets are constantly worH, the scalp
is so protected that though the dead
scales are thrown off they are not shed
and these make an accumulation OF
dandruff.
In this case the remedy consists IN
brushing the scalp-most people make
the mistake of brushing the hair, when
it is not the hair that needs friction,
but the scalp. You will notice a barber
put the hair aside with his fingers and
follow the parting with his brush In
this way the scalp can be thoroughly
cleansed- The scalp needs such a brush
ing three or four times a week in order
to keep it free from the scales which
are constantly being thrown of. Clean
illness will cure dandruf unless it is
really case of catarrh of the scalp.
Equal parts of alcohol and castor oil,
applied after a thorough shampoo, two
or three times s. week is an excellent
remedy.-Reported by Helen L Mann
