THE HOUSE AND FREE COINAGE.

There is little doubt of the pass
age by the House of Representa-
tives of a bill permitting the un-
limited coinage of silver. So
much may be looked for with
comparative certainty. The free
coinage men are taking vigorous
steps to press for an early vote,
and the committee on Rules will
itself be overruled if it attempts
to stand in the way. The adop-
ton of an unlimited coinage bill
by the House would at once bring
to the front the issue of an HON
est currency as against the depre-
citation in value of the coin in
which the wages of labor are
paid and the profits of business
received. 1t would be an issue
affecting every wage Garner in
the land, for while the purchasing
ability of the dollar would de.
crease wages would not increase
in proportion. On such an issue
the Republican party will take
but one stand, and that is the
stand for honest money anc
against deprecated circulating
medium.

to be made to get Congress to

currency notes will be successful.
They are much more desirable
than postal notes and will i'll a
large measure put a stop to the
sending by mail of postage
stamps in the transmission of
small amounts, which are not a
convenient Currency and often
times very undesirable, especially
when stamps of five or ten cents
are sent, as few persons can use
them in their mail matter, and
the postmasters decline to accept
them in exchange for one or two
cent stamps.

RESULTS or THE CONVENTION.

The State convention of the
republican clubs of Vermont COM
pleted its work yesterday in a
manner highly gratifying to all
who participated in it's delibera-
tions. The gathering was by all
odds the most enthusiastic of its
kind held by the republicans of
Vermont in many years and few
who listened to the many vigor-
Gus and inspiring speeches deliv-
cred at the various sessions will
soon forget the strong impress
sions made thereby. The princi-
pies set forth by the various
speakers represent republican
doctrine in all its purity, without
even the suggestion of unSound-
ness in the remotest degree. The
protection of American industries
was more heartily endorsed prob
ably than any other issue, and
this is of itself significant. AS
Col. Clarke showed in his able
and convincing address on the
tariff, Vermont is less interested
in manufacturing than almost
anv other Eastern State and 1t is
the height of patriotism and un.
sclhshness for a people to support
a policy which benefits Others
Vermonters have an excellent
opportunity, however, to wit

One of the Fierce Monsters OF the Rep
lillian Age.
The names that have been invented
for some of the animals that inhabited
the earth in long past ages are almost
lures that they designate. says the
Aouth's Companion. Yet these names
cannot be said TO lack fitness. Take,
for instance. the ''stcgoSaurns," an ami
mai of the Jurassic age which has been
described by Prof. O. C. Marsh. aud Of
Que species of which he has Just com
plcted an ideal restoration: the name
exactly FITS the extraordinary beast
that bears il.
Stcgosaurus Is formed from two Greek
words siege, roof. and sauros. LIZARD
and means rooted lizard. These.
however, did not resemble the little
lizards familiar to US in our day. bu;
were huge creatures eighteen or TWEEN
~ feet in length and a dozen feet tall
at the center OF their sloping backs.
They were covered with derEnal or
skinlike armor of tough. horny char.
acter, very strongly backed With
massive bony plates and spines. Upon
the tail were four double-pointed pro
5ecting spines Of great strength. which
Prof Marsh thinks were used for Of.
fensive purposes.
Similar indications of the powerful
weapons and effective means Of self.
protection which nature furnished &c
the enormous beasts of the reptilian
age are found in the remains Of ether

He MET THE EMERGENCY.

New Admiral Ssm.aes Eepaired HIS
Cruiser Out OF Dry Dock.
One of tho most serious difficulties
that our new steel cruisers have had to
encounter is the rapidity with which the
bottoms of the ships become foul when
afloat in tropical waters, says the New
York Times. This has been illustrated in
the cases of vessels on the Pacific station,
which have been compelled to steam to
San Francisco at times when their scrv-
ices could not well be spared, for the
solo purpose of having their bottoms
cleaned. This necessity has made the
absence Of coaling and naval stations
keenly felt, and if the present strained
relations with Chilli lead TO q more Sc
rious complication there may be further
reasons TO dcplore the failure of the
government to secure foreign naval
stations II the crisis comes and the
presence of an American feet is re-
quired in CHILEAN waters the command
ers OF our war vessels will doubtless
find some method to keep the bottoms
of their vessels sufficiently clean
for high speed without the aid of dry
docks An illustration of what can be
done when necessity demands is afforded
in the case OF tho famous confederate
cruisers In his Memoirs of the
Service Afoat" Admiral Semmes men,
tons az incident when an injury below
the water line of his vessel made re.
pairs TO the damaged part essential to
the efficiency of his vessel. There was
no port into which the ship dared to
vcntarc and other means had to be
thought of. The commander hit on a
scheme that proved TO be successful.
He directed the carpenters and machin-
lists 70 construct caisson TO ct over
the injured space beneath the water
limo. The plans Of the ship showed the
curves OF tho hull, and from these draw
iugs a caisson was built which fitted 80
nicely "a to be almost water-.ighs, and
was easily kept free of water by the
pumps. The result was that tho dam
age was repaired as effectively as IL
could have been done had the ship been
placed in dry dock. II, with the rough
material on board, the men Of that ship
could &c a caisson to their vessel, IL
seems reasonable 70 think that tho task
of keeping warships bottom clean
when dry docks are not available can
be accomplished by the same means.
Material for sectional caissons To ft
each part of the ships bottom could be
provided FOR each ship and put together
on board.
