SOME ONE BLUNDERED.
Gold Bugs Think q Mistake Has Be
Made In the Silver Bill

| Gold Bugs Think q Mistake Has Been
| Made In the Silver Bill
WASHINGTON. July 4.-The correspondent
of the New York Times says that some Of
the free silver men are beginning to won
der whether the free coinage measure
which the senate passed Friday would
accomplish what they have been aiming to
bring about, il it should become law. Ap-
parently very few Of them knew previous
to Friday that Senator Stewart proposed to
offer substitute for his original measure.
Most OF them seem to have been ignorant
ofthe provisions of the new bill. Now that
the bill Is in cold type the impression ia
growing that should it finally become Law
the silver men would soon realize they have
been led into a ridiculous position. One
senator. who voted for the bill without ex-
aminlng it, said to the correspondent that
he believed serious mistake had been
made. ''The BILL" he said. "provides that
all uncoined bullion in the treasury must
! be coined. Taking the amount on hand
aud the capacity Of the mints into oonsid-
GRAFTON. figure that over three years would
elapse before any bullion. not yet dellv-
cred, could be handled by the government.
| The man who drew up the substitute which
this.'' .~-<r-
| Representative Harter, a democrat, says
it is the most bungling measure which ever
passed legislative body. SHOULD it be-
| come law" said he, "the most ardent free
! silver men would soon begin to upbraid its
l,framers. First. it provides for the stop
page of more purchases of silver. II also
stops the issue of silver certificates. This
ends the accumulation of silver more and
more, It puts period to thevicious increase
Of silver certificates. Observe. it absolutely
closes the market for silver bullion, and is
I,llkely to cause the price to drop way below
90 cents per ounce. So far. you see, the free
goose which laid the golden Cor silvsr) egg,
and If their bill should ever become law,
curses from mining camps would be loud
and deep.
Go step further and notice that the bill
orders all uncoined bullion in the treasury
to be coined: This will cost. say 81. 1.6oo 600,
which is so to speak, thrown away, but will
occupy all the mints of the government
probably not far from two years. Mean
while our free silver friends can keep their
silver and cool their heels on tho sidewalks.
Suppose you had 100000 in silver bullion
and proposed to get the benefit of this bill,
You would take it to mint, but az the
mint has not storage, it would be wholly
impossible (though legally and in a Pick
wickian or technical sense, possible) for
the government to take it. In other words
it may be two years before the government
could take your bullion. 1t may be Ave
years.
But suppose the government does take
it. will you be kind enough to tell me when
you would get silver dollars in return?
Here is d nice sum in arithmetic for the
silver men. and after they have figured it
ont they can 60 and buy OK teams and be
ready to transport their coin. I am salts.
fed l have said enough to cause any man
to zee that the whole bill lsa delusion and

New YORK, July 4.-The anniversary Of
American indspen iencs was elsborately
celsbrated by the Tammany society in The

great hall was crowded with people. The
private boxes were occupied by ladies.
Among the prominent statesmen present to

flags. the coats-of-srms of different states,
and floral designs. Grand Sachem Gilroy
delivered tho address of welcome. and the
Declaration Of Independence was read.
The secretary then read letters from prom
inent democrats. Grover Cleveland wrote:
mo man, woman or child could forget or
outg ow the sentiment relating to the OBJ
servance of the fourth day Of July. Be-
cause there are influences and tendencies
abroad whish tend to neglect this anniver-
ssry, the valuable and patriotic effort of
Tammsny to rescue it from indif-
ference ought to be universally an.
plauded. am satisfied Yammsuy will
not lose the opportunity to teach that the
declaration of independence was a move
ment on tho part of people determined to
govern themselves; that it inspires patriot
ism and enjoins unselfsh love for our coun-
try's welfare; that a political organization
is only effective and successful when ap-
proved and trusted by intslligent popular
government"
Governor Boies, of Iowa, wrote: "Oesu-
plying. az it does, the position of the most
powerful organization Of its kind in this
country and upholding the tremendous in
huence that always comes from the union of
vast number Of nen intent upon the same
object. it is indeed appropriate on each an
niversary of the nations birthday that your
society should renew the allegiance that has
become tho pride to every citizen of the rs-
public"
Senator David B. Hill wrote, defining the
power and purpse Of the democratic party.
He reviewed the recent political history of
raey Of New York in the coming struggle

enemy. Loyalty to cardinal democra alto
principles and tho regularly nominated

Tennessee: Hon. John q. Carlisle, Of Ken

Hon. W. L. Wilson, of West Virginia, Hon.
j. B. Bryan, of Nebraska, was selected for
first talk. Before he had chance to say
. word tho crowd broke loose, gave cheer
after cheer for Cleveland. Hill. Cochran and
again for Cleveland. Bryan delivered an
apostrophe on the day and the national
youth as its defender. He declared moth

born free and equal" penned BY Thomas

given Immortality. He asked his hearers if
these Jefferson truths were accepted to-day
as they were hundred wears ago.

Nothing to Prevent Its Spread.

VIENNA, July 4.-The first fatal case OF
cholera at Baku occurred at the railway
station. The municipal authorities are do.
ing nothing to prevent the spread of the
disease. No special hospital has been
opened. but patients are taken to the gen
eral hospital in public vehicles. Many
corpses are left unburied for days. One
body was found in public bath. decom-
posed. The doctors. municipal authorities,
and inhabitants generally are fleeing from
town. No disinfectants are obtainable.
General confusion prevails. The sanitary
condition in Astrakhan is terribly defective.
DIR. Crasche, in a lecture yesterday, said ex-
perience showed that cholera 1T Baku and
in Tyria is less virulent than tho true
Asiatic cholera. He Thought the gravity of
the outbreak had been exaggerated; that
tho disease would soon be checked BY sani-
tary measures; that there is no need of
alarm or apprehension of its spread to

Last MONDAY the annual Town Elec-
ton was held when the following ticket
was elected: President Of Council, James
F. Anderson Alderman, William D.
Fowler Collector and Treasurer, J H.
Truitt Assessor, Spencer Hitch Mem
bers of Council for two years, Robert
Russell and Joseph NJ. DAVIS Members
af Council for one year, Charles Tuthill
aud lanes A. Hall. All of these men are
good safe men to place at the head OF
affairs. Mr.. Anderson represents the
property owners of the town, and in his
views he is conservative. The Alderman,
w. d. Fowler, is well qualified for the
place, and James H. Truitt has made a
very efficient collector and treasurer. For
wears the assessment of Milford by the
town assessor has been simply copy OF
that of the preceding year, and in electing
Spencer Hitch, the people may expect to
get a much better assessment, as Mr..
Hitch has had an experience as a collec-
tor and treasurer, and therefore knows
how to do the work. The cOuncilmen
are representative men and have had long
exp,siranc9 n. town affairs. Mr.. Tuthill
has served term Of sf.N y ears as Clerk OF
Council. and his records showA special
aptness for discharging the duties of tha
