the disposal of the House committee
on Ways and Means when it begins
work on the tariff bill.
An attempt was made to make i,
appear that the acting Director Of the
Mint had done something extraordi.
nary in refusing to pay more than the
London price for silver bullion and
there was for while lot of wild talk
about bringing "the usurpation OF
authority" to the attention of Congress,
INDUCED in mostly by republicans who
didn't care rap about silver but
thought they saw in the incident an
opportunity to embarrass the admins
tration. The talk was stopped as
suddenly as 1t began, for little in
vestigation brought out the fact that
in 1873, when John Sherman was Sec
retary of the Treasury and under the
Bland act, then just gone into effect,
was compelled to buy $4,000, 900
worth of silver a month, for coinage,
he not only refused to pay more than
the London price, but when Ameri.
can holders of silver refused to sell at
that price, he actually bought more
than $4,000, 900 worth of silver in
London and had it shipped to the
Philadelphia mint.

THE FAIR DESERTED.
Rigid Enforcement Of the Sunday
Closing Order.

All the Buildings Shut Up Yesterday
gate the Trouble with Russian Exhibitor
CHICAGO, July 24.-The White City was
deserted yesterday and the warm sun ol
the peaceful Sabbath shone upon desolat<
thoroughfares, lonely Columbian guard,
and few inhabitants OF the Midway
Plaisance, who had left that cosmopolitan
quarter early in the day to view the big
buildings in the park. The Sunday clos
ing order was rigidly enforced, and any
person who entered the Exposition grounds
had to prove that his presence there wa
absolutely necessary.
All buildings were closed and the sign
''closed o-day" placed on the doors Of the
State homes was entirely unnecessary, As
there were no persons In the park who
cared to do any visiting or sightseeing.
All the electric and steam launches and
gondolas were tied up, no fountain was
playing, the ends Of booths were barsd Of
wares and their handsome saleswomen,
and altogether II was the most complete
"closed Sunday" the Worlds Fak has
known. Only two gates were open and
these were for pass holders.
There was no grumbling among the en-
ployes nor among the exhibitors on ac-
count Of the enforced day Of rest And the
grumbling that was done outside was not
loud enough to disturb any one A num-
Der came to the gates as II they expected
to be admitted, but finding them closed
they left not caring to stand around in the
hot sun for nothing.
Although up to this time nearly 9, 000, 900
persons have paid to see the Fair and have
come from all parts Of the United States.
the Worlds Fair officials are disappointed
in the attendance. At the present rate the
record for the first half of the six months
Of the Fair will reach 8, 750, 900.
The most sanguine experts on exposi-
tions say that under the most favorable
conditions the total attendance will not
reach 10000, 900. Before the exposition
opened, Worlds Fair officials declared that
the attendance would reach total OF 30,-
000, 900.

Next week is the last week Of the
canvass for county officers. Anything
in the way Of circulars or newspaper
articles that are kept back until then
ought to have no weight with voters,
if they contain anything that requires
an answer from an opposing candi-
date. We do not believe that any of
the candidates will resort to such
trickery, but if they do, such methods
ought to react against them.

Mr.. Pence is we'll known all over this

a "hustler" and his competitors have
long since learned that they are obliged

they distance him in the race for patron.
age and public favor, and oftentimes
their early rising ia of no avail. On
the soldiers monument at West Union
Mr.. Pence faced the strongest Of compe.

he presents the superior advantages
