OUR CAPITAL LETTER
Heath Writes a Newsy Letter from
the Capital.
Increase in the Circulation of Silver to
Continue.
pHERsoN's RESOLUTION NAY PASS
Mr.. Cleveland Was Consulted, and 1t II as
the Approval of the Present
Naturalization.

WAsH1NGToN, Dec. % -ISpecial.l-
The secretary Of the treasury, ever
since the adjournment of the interna-
tional monetary conference until next
spring and especially since the recent
large expectations of gold, has received
daily large number of kilograms from
boards of trade, CONNIE ciai exchanges
aud Individual bankers urging him to
exert bis influence in favor of the sus-
pension Of the purchase Of silver Sec
retary Foster has already stated in these
dispatches bis intention 10 maintain in
the treasury gold reserve of $125,0O0,
900. In the meantime the increase of
the circulation through the purchase of
silver must continue until congress re-
assemblies next month.
The proposition most likely to receive
favorable action is the joint resolution
offered by Senator Mcpherson, of New
Jersey, authorizing the secretary OF the
treasury to suspend until further notice
the purchase Of silver bullion. This
resolution, while not favored by the free
coinage element Is less likely to encoun-
ter their successful opposition than is
the bill introduced by Senator Hill for
the absolute repeal of the Sherman act.
To this bill Mr. Sherman, of Nevada, has
already offered an amendment providing
for the free coinage Of silver. Although
congress is not IN session the subject
will be constantly discussed among finan-
ciers during the holidays and a senti
ment may be reused which will favor
the Mcpherson resolution 1t is under
steod that Mr.. Mcpherson consulted with
Mr.. Cleveland before Introducing it and
that the plan, although only temporary
makesh;ft, has the approya! Of the pres
ent administration.
The continued exports of gold and the
| threatened stringency in the money mar
ket with the mischievous motives under
lying them ss,sutlined in these dispatches
last night continued TO be subject Of
comment in Washington to-day. Sen
ator Paddock of Nebraska, who has
given much study to the problems Of na
tiDnal finance, in discussing the present
,u.tion Of the money market said 10
/ The GLo'EcO res; O7d..nt to-day: st is
mAnuf Ictured apprehension. There has
never been more ur better money in /! Q
/ couHlrr than al this time. There was
! never ~ re Of every thing in the hands OF
/ the people everywhere 10 produce money
than now. So far as MY state is con
cerned, with corn Il 28 cents per bushel
and hcgs at $G per 100 pounds at the
! rm and more money in The pockets OF
our farmers aad at cur banks than ever
before, We are not going 10 get fright
ened. AT any rate our people don't feel
that they have any occasion TO climb
upon the back OF congress and demand
legislation 20 ease up a condition of
things which averages so well with them
as the present.

The Young Mems Polish Union
Celebrate the Anniversary With
Grand Ball

III the year 1882 the society of the Polish
colony, represented by eight young men,
met and organized a society which they
named, the Young Mems Polish Union,
and elected Joseph M. Iizk president.
The prime object then of the society was
for unity, friendship and amusements.
At first the young men met with little
encouragement and the society had TO
fight many difficulties. But itswaS COM
posed of the right kind of material and
no obstacles were too great for them to
overcome. Gradually they increased in
numbers. Now there is a large member
ship and the society is considered one of
the strongest. financially. in the city.
They now have another object in view,
that is for benevolent purposes. The So
Ciety now as at first, represents the elite
of the Polish society. Mr.. VIM. Dobro-
walsh, the present occupant of the
presidents chair, a charter member has
been much to the society, and to his ear
nest work is largely due its magnificent
success. Saturday night the society cplc-
brated its tenth anniversary with u grand
ball at st. Albert'S hall. 1t was probably
$3.50 o'clock before Artzt'S orchestra
struck up a beautiful grand march and
the large crowd took their places in the
grand march, which was led by President
DobrowalSki aud Miss Annie PrOlI.
charming young lady. The dance was
kept up until nearly o'clock. At l.
O'Clock an intermiSSion was called and
some delicious refreshments were served.
The hall was most beautifully decOra-
ted with our country'S flag and StreamerS
of evergreens. Over the stage was ban

''PoliSh Young Mems Union" at the top.
under this were the figures ''1ss2-1S92"
Forty four stars were on the banner. rep
fesenting every state in the Union. OF
these there was one very large star in the
middle, that was for Texas.
The badges of the society are white
silk and United States flag. illustrating
the fact that with them the United States
flag is always on top. The decorations
were arranged under the direction Of Mrs.
A. F. Pollock, the sponsor of the club.
There were twenty four dances on the
program and No. IS, a SchottSch, was
danced Ito our local press"
