Mr. Charles F. Peck, the superintend-
emit of the New York Bureau of Labor
Statistics, has created tremendous sem
sation because, being Democrat, he
dared to issue report which showed his
state flourishing and its people prosper
Gus. The New York papers are printing
columns of denunciations which Demo-
Gratis are heaping upon the head of Mr..
Peck. He is told that being Democrat,
it is little short of treason for him to re-
port the country prosperous at time
when his party is making bid for the
control of the government. He is de-
nounced as tool of David B. Hill, who
in turn, is cursed for being suspected of
tendency to view with qualification his
country's prosperity. 1t is charged that
Peck's report is a covert blow at Grover
Cleveland, who apparently is expected to
succeed only upon the supposition that
the country is going to the dogs In
short, the Democratic cue is to shout ca
lamity, and Mr.. Peck is in trouble be-
cause he hasn't joined in the
chorus He gives facts and
figures to back up his refusaA
and so far no one has impeached the ac-
curacy of those figures. 1t really does
seem that we are prosperous, that there
is no getting away from the fact and that
Mr.. Peck had to disgrace himself by adj
hitting it. All this is very mournful for
the Democrats, but they still have the
consolation of hope. 1t may be that next
time, four years hence, we may be suffer

era, or earthquakes, or grasshoppers

The following extract from Madame

Thursday, about 8 in the afternoon,
set forward with neighbor Polly, a
girl about eighteen years, who her fa-
ther said he had been to fetch out of the
Narragansetts, and said they had rode
thirty miles that day on sorry lean
horse with only Bagg under her for a
pillion, which the poor Girl often COM
planned of.
About that evening we came to
New London Ferry. Here, by reason of
a very high wind. we NETT with great
difficulty in, getting over.
The boat tost exceedingly, and our
Horses cappered at very Surprising
rate, and set us all in fright, especially
poor Polly, who desired her father to
say 80 Jack" to the horse to make him
stand.
But the careless parent, taking no
notice of her repeated desires, She Rored
out in Passionate manner, pray, Suth,
father, Are you deaf? Say so Jack
to the horse tell YOU"
The Dutiful Parent obeyed saying
$50 Jack, So Jack, as gravely as if he
had bin saying Chatchise after young
Miss. who with her fright look't all the

"The public should be acquainted with

it will be well for US to appreciate the

and the inquiry at Valparaiso the merest
farce. am thoroughly convinced that
the assault was premeditated and in
tended as an insult to this government" +"
ACTIVITY OF THE NAVY DEPARTMENT.
1t was ascertained this afternoon be-
yond the possibility of doubt that the
navy department, since the receipt of
the first news of the Vallejo inquiry. has
redoubled its preparations for trouble.
Activity in the navy yard in this city is
increased, and the navy department is
pushing every means for saving tipe.

they will be ordered to Chile, but unless
such necessity arises they will remain

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE United
States supreme court today, in the inter-
state case OF Charles Counselman, appel
liant, VS.. Frank Hitchcock, marshal OF
the United States district court for the
northern district of Illinois, decided that
witnesses cannot be compelled to testify
in any criminal cases where the answers
might tend to criminate them in any way,
or subject them to possible future pros
ecution. This case is one of great inter
est to railroads and attracted widespread
attention. Counselmen was asked
whether he ever obtained from any
railroad a rate on grain shipments lower
than the open rate to all shippers. He
refused to answer on the ground that il
might criminate him, and claimed the
protection of the constitutional guar
antee conferred by the fifth amendment.
Judge Gresham decided against him,
and he held him in contempt of court
for refusing to answer questions, and it
was on appeal from Judge Gresham &
order that the case decided by the SUI
preme court today came up.
Los Angeles herald., 1892-01-12

determined policy OF the United States
government to use both gold and silver
as full legal tender money, either under
the rate now existing in the United
States, or under one that may hereafter
be established by the United States, in
accord with other nations. 1t directs
the president to invite the governments
of the countries composing the so-called
Latin union, and such other nations as
he may deem advisable to join the
United states in conference, and to
adopt common ratio between
gold and silver for the purpose of
establishing the international use of
bimetallic money and to secure fixity
of the relative values between those
metals. Whenever the governments, or
any three OF them, shall have agreed to
unite, and whenever, in the judgment
of the president, sufficient number of
nations shall have entered into an in
ternational agreement, the president is
TO declare the ratio go fixed to be the
existing ratio in the United States. The
president is to appoint not less than
three nor more than five commissioners,
whose reports to him shall be trans
misted to congress-, and which shall
each receive $4,000 year and reason
able expenses.
Teller spoke at some length in advo-
cacy of his resolution.

Replying to query by Mitchell, Stew
art said the act OF 1890 certainly did not
repeal that portion of the Bland act
which related to the act of 1887.
The resolution was referred to the
