AWAsHINGroN dispatch says that
the Senate spent four hours last
Wednesday discussing the silver
bill. Senator Morgan of Alabama
made an elaborate argument in sup
port Of the measure. He criticised
the silver plank of the republican
platform as "timid and irresolute"
but thought it was q step to the
front. In the coming Chicago con-
vention he believed the democracy
would also step to the front and
declare not only that silver should
be equal with gold, but that it
should have the right Of free coin
age. In another part of his speech
he applied to presidential aspirants,
in addition to the winners, the
sporting phrases of "dark horses, /"
beaten horses, ""spavined horses, !"
Handicapped horses" and "horses
and colts" Senator Cockrell of
Missouri presented figures to prove
that just before the demonstration
act of 1873 the coinage of silver
dollars had not virtually ceased, az
has been often asserted, but was
going on actively.

A FATAL explosion occurred al
the Mare Island Navy Yard, Vallejo
California, on the 18th instant. A
report which shook the town like
an earthquake was heard at II 80
A. NJ. A great volume of smoke was
seen at the navy yard, and when the
smoke had cleared away it was
found that the explosion had taken
place at the shell-house of the naval
magazine. In the midst of the
ruins and around the sides of the
hills were seen bodies and mangled
portions of bodies scattered all
about. The charred bodies of two
apprentice seamen were found on
the beach two hundred yards from
the scene of the explosion. When
the remains were collected the dead
were found to number twelve. A
number of wounded men were taken
to the hospital in an apparently
dying condition. It is not known
what caused the explosion.

A LATE dispatch from Berlin,
Germany, gives an account Of a
novel method of testing the gen.
uineness of the spirit manifesto
tions. Doctor Meet, we'll known
medical man of that city, attended
seance given by Doctor Rinkert,
who ia said to be one of the leading
mediums of Germany. Doctor Moet
had concealed upon his person a
syringe filled with a chemical solu-
ton, and when the spirit forms ap-
peared he squirted caustic liquid
in showers upon the shadowy forms.
Instantly there were shrieks of dis
may, the spirits scattered with un-
dignified haste and the seance came
TO an abrupt close. The skeptical
doctor had proved to his own sat-
isfaction and that of some friends
who were with him that the pro-
ceedings of Rinkert were fraud
ulent, and as q result of the expos
ure the medium was arrested.

One hundred and torty-six mil
lions have already been appropri-
ated by the senate committee for
the payment of pensions this year.
This is eleven millions more than
the house bill. When the last pen
sion bills were passed it was claimed
that the claims could never amount
to over one hundred and twenty-five
millions. What a contrast, the
whole expenses of the Government
under the administration of James
Buchanan was only about sixty
millions.

THE democratic National Con-
vention meets at Chicago next Tues
day, June 21. Ex-President Cleve-
land and Senator Hill, at this juno
ture, owe as duty to the country
and to the democratic party, to
reconcile their personal differences,
step aside and allow "a dark horse"
to take the nomination for Presi-
dent, who will endorse a genuine
silver plank in the platform, having
in it the constitutional ring of the
dollar of our "daddies." Not such
a plank as adopted by the late re.
publican convention, with q large
size "fence" in it. In the event of
the selection of a dark horse, it will
mean the inevitable defeat of the
present incumbent of the White
House, and the democrats will go
before the country certain Of
victory.

Graphic Messrs. Mendenhall, O.
E. Penwell, r. A. Pierce, and others,
who have returned from the Yellow
Jacket and Prairie Basin country
during the past week, report that
many prospectors are camped on
Yellow Jacket and Fourth Of July
creeks waiting for the disappearance
of the snow. The Yellow Jacket
Company is employing about 20
men, and the mill returns show the
ore to be Of high grade. A number
Of prospects will be developed dur
ing the present season. All those
who have visited the Yellow Jacket
country are much pleased with its
appearance and predict bright
future for this new Campo. +.
Penwell brought chunk of gold
rock from the Yellow Jacket on his
last trip. It shows native gold all
over it. The mill was running on
this kind of rock. He also brought
some ore from the Cleveland, on
north end of Yellow Jacket belt,
which assays about $500. Some Of
the Cleveland ore is curiosity. It
resembles pumice stone and is so
light that it floats on water, but is
very rich in fine gold. These SAM
Piles Mr.. Penwell gave to ten district
commissioner of Custer county for
the Worlds Fair collection.
The Silver Messenger prints
woeful account of the grasshopper
plague among the farmers of Round
valley, Custer county. It says that
in some fields the grasshoppers
have made a strip right through and
shorn it as bare Of young grain as
q rock. They are very young and
small, and when they get big enough
to fly it is hard to tell what they
will do. In many places they cover
the ground black as common gun
powder, and as horses pass through
they spring up by the millions.
They 60 mostly in streaks, leaving
some strips untouched. They came
last fall and laid their eggs, depos-
ting them on sand ridges, and this
spring the pillow brought them out
in such great numbers as to cov.r
the ground in places.

The ISTELLlGINcER's concise review OF
the business year in Wheeling tells n
story OF solid prosperity and growth
which must DO very gratifying to every
body who takes an interest in the city's
welfare. In manufacturing and in gen
cral trading tho year compares well
with our best.
The volume OF business is OF course
larger than over btforc because OF the
establishment OF new industries, the
growth OF old ones aud tho opening OF
territory naturally tributary to Wheel
ing In the last respect Wheeling
reflects in great measure the changing
condition OF the state, the building OF
railroads and the planting OF busy
populations where hitherto the silence
OF the solitude held dominion.
West Virginia will make greater
strides in 1892. As result Wheeling
will strengthen her. foundations, and
Independently she will broaden the
scope OF her industries by exerting her
sell on new lines OF manufacture.
As n manufacturing centre Wheeling
is by no means finished city. The
natural advantages which have made
her what she is will make her more and
greater.

the initiated visitor will take it for
granted that the men who are writing
SO industriously in the body OF the
house are the shorthand reporters, who
receive large salaries to make sure that
not word OF these treasures OF thought
escapes them. 1t is n rude awakening
to learn that the industrious penmen
are representatives doing their best to
make sure OF hearing nothing OF the de.
bate which is supposed 10 be for their
enlightenment.
There are never more than half n

who get n more respectful hearing than
this. All day long, no matter what is
