READY FOR BUSINESS.
Silver Mon In Congress Getting Ready Il
Renew the Fight.-Diand's
L.ttlo Trap.

Ltttlo Trap.
A Washinston dispatch says:
Tho indications are that the free coinage
fight will DO renewed with rather increased
yigor Mt the opening Of the regular session
of Congress.
For the past two or three weeks the silver
men have been sineularly quiet, and the rsa-
son for this has now become apparent Tho
silver men were waiting for q sufIlcicn. time
to elapse nfter the repeal OF the Sherman act
In order to demonstrate to the people that the
silver purchase law was not the cause Of the
great financial depression, and that It's repeal
would not prove panacea for all the COM
mercial evils which have accompanied the
times. They think the demonstration Of this
fact Is apparent to the American people now,
80 that the silver men arc preparing to say TO
the two houses Of Congress next month that
the legislation demanded by the administra-
ton has been q failure in restoring CONNER.
cIal prosperity; that the position Of tho silver
men IN urging free coinage at the late session
has been vindicated, and that now the Demo-
cratic party In Congress should devote itself
to rcdeeming the remaining pledges Of the
last Democratic national convention on tho
subject of silver and financial legislation.
With this object In Wow Chairman Bland
measures, is preparing bill, which he, as
the leader of the free coinage men, will In
troduce at the opening Of the next session. 1t
10 further declared by Mr.. Bland to be his
intention to afford no loop hole Of escape to
those Democratic congressman who have
talked free coinage to their constituents at
home, but voted against It on plausible pre-
texts, when the matter came up for considera-
tion In the House.
By reference to carefully prepared list
Mr.. Bland declares that there is a clear ma
jority for free coinage In the House, II their
private declarations made to him during the
extra session arc to be relied upon, and he
proposes now t. bring these gentlemen to the
crucial test.
The measure which Chairman Bland will
Introduce at tho opening Of the session Is
substantially n re-enactmcnt of tho law OF
January 1s, 1887. It is the belief of the silver
men that bill re-enacting this law will COM
mand greater strength and afford less oppor-
tunity for evasion than any other measure
which could possibly be presented. Tho act
of 1887 was simple and brief. 1t provided for
the silver dollar Of 4l2 1-2 grains and declared
that '.the dollars, half dollars, quarter dol
lars, dimes and half dimes, shall be legal ten
dcrs, according to their nominal value, for
any sums whatever"

yyorid's Fair Purohas cs.

Worlds Fair officials have been almost
swamped lately by inquiries from buyers Of
fair exhibits as TO the cause of the delay In
delivering the goods. About 81 ,000, 900 worth
of exhibits were sold for delivery nt the close
of the fair, and purchasers have become
anxious. f. y. Fnrra, representing the Ger
man exhibitors, explained that no goods can
be shipped until all exhibits have been In
spected. and that the crush of business has
thrown custom house officials behind with the
work, causing the delay In delivery.

T. r. Christian, deputy state engineer, for
merlyin charge Of construction Of state ca
nal No. 1, has gone to sagauche, where he
goes to commence work on the Saguache
winter storage reservoir. He says: .iAs we
now have available the csc, 900 appropriated
by the legislature for the Sagauche reservoir
construction, work will commence within
four weeks upon It, am authorized by Gov
crnor Waite to proceed as rapidly as possible
in the matter. We will not, however, build
the reservoir upon the site originally selected
by Maxwclls engineers, but upon site To-
Gated by engineers sent out by me several
weeks ago. Maxwell's men located the reser-
voir about 20 miles up the creek from sa-
guache park, on site covering 50 acres OF
ground, with a water capacity Of 1,6i0 acre
feet. Had the reservoir been built here It
would have been useful only few years. The
new site determined upon covers 169 acres
with $3.50 acre feet, is within II miles Of
Sagauchc PARK, Containing the land to be ir-
rigated) and the reservoirs cost on this latter
proposition will bo no more than the former,
while the length of the main ditch is reduced
from 40 to miles. Nothing in the future
can affect the permanent water supply Of
this reservoir and 1t will be perpetual. Tho
construction Of these works means 81 ,00O, 900
in value to the property In the county. We
will have 200 men at work within four weeks"

WHEELING. OCTOBER IS. 1898.


1t is not the money question that is
involved in tho senate compromise. A
determined minority, incorporating I'M
der senatorial courtesy" brandishinG
the bludgeon OF anarchy, compels con-
stitulioual majority to yield its rights
and the rights of the people it repre-
sents, to abdicate the right and the duty
OF the majority to rule under the consti-
tuition OF the United States and the laws
governing all legislative bodies.
The compromise is the maiority's ad'
mission that the opposing minority is
tho real power in the United States sem
ate, and that SO far as tho present senate
is concerned popular government in this
country is u failure.
It's marvellous that forty-one senators
OF the party charged with the response
biity OF legislation were quick TO give
their assent to this monstrous PROPOSE.
ton. The alertness with which they
fell to signing their names to the arti-
cles OF surrender strengthens the grim
suspicion thatb faith has lett its Shiny
track on this whole remarkable page OF
the senate's history, 1t looks as though
some of these majority senators have
deIudcd the people and tricked the
President
Until there shall be good reason to
believe that the President has allowed
himself to be included in this disgrace
full surrender, the IHrELLrGENcEE shall
continue to believe that he is man OF
nerve, of decontregard for public opin-
ion and for that system of popular gov
ornment of which he is the chosen
head.

Changing the Form of Government.
In this era OF compromise inaugural
ed in the senate OF the United States a
determined minority must see its op-
portunity to triumph as no minority
ever hoped TO triumph before. The
majority may say, After full and FREQ
debate we shall pass this measure. The
minority may reply, You shall never
pass this measure. And it shall be as
the minority says.
This is not tho form OF government
which the fathers thought they were
founding. 1t is the kind of government,
with the added tinseI trappings OF n
monarchy, which they sought to over
throw, and they went to their honored
graves in the firm belief that the sue
cess which had cost them so dear had
opened new aud better way for man
kind.
Great Britain has 10 written consti-
tuition, but the unwritten fundamental
law of that country could not be
changed so violently and SO radically in
so vital respect without plunGiug the
kingdom into civil war. The compro-
mise concades change in the form of
government without the assent OF the
people.
The mon who third OF century ago
walked out OF tho senate because they
were no longer willing to be bound by
the constitution OF the United States
and the form OF government established
under it, set an example which the an
archist senators OF to-day might have
followed with more credit to them
selves and with better results to the
country.
