TOO MUCH SILVER.
The Chicago Subtreasury Is Flooded and
Refuses to Receive More.

CHICAGO. July ga notice is posted in
the United States subtreasury to the effect
that silver will not be received. During
the day many employees of banks brought
in sacks OF the white metal to get currency
in exchange, but they had to shoulder
their loads and go again as they came.
There is more silver lying around I'M
counted behind the rails of the subtreas-
ury than the force can handle. On every
shelf and in piles on the floor. canvas sacks
filled with dollars and other coins stacked
up until there is hardly room to get about.
We are unable to handle the big amount
of silver we have on hand" said one OF the
officials, and until can be all counted
and checked up we will not receive any
more over the cou ,er. For some time past
great quantities of silver hAve.been brought
here by the hanks to be exchanged :CG cur
rency until the amount has become greater
than we can handle and we have had Il
call temporary halt. This is a. there i,

How to Perfume the Hair.

Girls with perfumed hair are now the
correct thing" 1t is difficult to do. OF
course the hair must be combed carefully
every day. That gives the glossy effect
which is SO much in vogue, but this is
only the start in the pertaining OF it. A
young lady who has tried it successfully
says: There are ways and ways of per
fuming hair, but 1 found the best way
was to have mob cap of soft thin silk
made and lined with cotton that had
been thickly sprinkled with sachet pow
der. Now. after weekly shampoos. l
wear the cap for an hour, and delicate,
indistinct fragrance is impaired to the
locks that is the epitome of daintiness."

not done it. "IIere we have been urging

TO put in the Democrats, because the Re
publcans used the offices as spols, and
what do we see2 Simply the spectacle of
President sitting at Washington powerless
to put in operation the reform methods
promised all during his campaign"
Mr.. Quincy made a very lame defence by
saying that he found things different in
Washington from what he had anticipated,
that he had not understood that Mr.. Cleve-
land was to go beyond the letter of the
civil service reform law, and that no Presi-
dent could ignore the demands of Congress
men for appointments without wreckng

the Office boy, who was the only person
present, to allow him to look over the con
troler's mail for letter which had been
misdirected. The boy, misled by this
falsehood, consented, and Maynard took
the envelope containing the corrected re-
turn and gave it to a confederate who made
off with it. Maynard's purpose was to
leave no return except the false return for
the state canvassers to count. His dishon-
est action which leading men of his own
party repeatedly denounced as a crime, was
successful, the Legislature was turned over
to full Democratic control, and Maynard's
reward was a place on the bench of the
highest court of the state.

4 scnndnIous Nomination.

The real issue in the New York state
election this fall is Isaac II. Maynard, the
man whom Gov. Flower put upon the
bench of the court of appeals year ago
last January as reward for stealing an
elections certificate and having false re-
turn counted in defiance of the mandate of
the courts, so as to turn the legislature
over to Hill and his men and allow them
to reapportion the state at their own sweet
bill. There was universal protest against
Maynard's nomination for a permanent
place on the court of appeals bench, but the
mandate of the machine had gone forth that
he should be given this "vindication," and
at the Democratic state convention held at
Saratoga last Friday he was nominated by
acclamation, the voice of just one solitary
delegate being first raised in protest. This
lone delegate, Mr.. Weideman of Rockland
county, told the convention that Maynard s
nomination would bring the party into
contempt and lose it tens of thousands of
votes, but he was hooted down with shouts
of "Shut up" and "Get out of here
1t is to the credit of the leading Demo
cratic papers, both of the city and the state,
that they have opposed his candidacy al
most without exception, but nevertheless,
to such level have New York politics
fallen, Maynard's election is counted upon
as assured.
In opposition to him the Republicans
have nominated Edward T. Bartlett OF
New York, an able lawyer and clean,
strong man. The state officers to be elect
ed in New York this fall are a secretary OF
state, controller, attorney general, state
treasurer, state engineer and surveyor.

They Made 1t Interesting for MIR. Quincy.
Mr.. Josiah Quincy of Boston, virtuOus
Massachusetts Mugwump, who until very
recently was Mr.. Cleveland's assistant sec
retary of state, had very bad hour-and-a-
half last Saturday afternoon. Before he
accepted office under the Cleveland admin
istration Mr. Quincy was known as pillar
of civil service reform, but after he came
into his office he chiefly distinguished him
self by the celebrity with which he ousted
the Republican consuls appointed by the
Harrison administration and put Democrats
in their places. Saturday afternoon the
Massachusetts Reform club held its month
ly love feast at the Parker House, and
when the dinner was over Mr.. Quincy was
put on the gridiron. Moorfield Story acted
as master of ceremonies and in very strong
terms criticised Mr. Quincy and President
Cleveland for grossly violating civil service
reform principles We all know, Mr..
Storey said in substance, that Mr. Cleye-
land cannot compel Congress to repeal the
silver purchase law, or the elections law,
or to pass a new tariff law, but he could
! fulfill the declaration of his party platform

The Massachusetts RepubIican Ticket

The MassachWsetts Republican Ticket.
The Massachusetts, Republican state con-
vention, held in Music hall, Boston, last
Saturday, resulted, as expected, in the
unanimous nomination of Frederic T.
Greenhalge for governor and Roger VOL
colt for lieutenant governor. The only
place contested for was that of the state
treasurership, and a single ballot decided
that Henry NJ. Phillips of Springfield
should be the candidate for that Office.
For secretary of state William NJ. Olin of
Boston was nominated, and for attorney
general Hosea NJ. Knowlton of New Bed
ford. The convention was the largest in
many years, there being only 70 delegates
absent out of a total of 2114 elected, and
an inspiring harmony and enthusiasm
marked all the proceedings.
The platform declares for unconditional
silver repeal but, while realizing the evils
of the act of 1890, and recognizing the ad-
vantage to be derived from its repeal, it
adds, 1--WE do not for one moment admit
that it is the only, or even the principal,
cause of the present distressed condition of
the country. Democratic leaders and the
Democratic press have persistently mis-
stated the facts and the cause, but the
truth is the boasted victory of last Novem-
Der created widespread alarm and paralyzed
the great functions and powers that had so
blessed the people in prosperity" Belief
in the benefcent principle of protection TO
Americas industries is redffirmed in the
strongest terms, as is also that of national
protection of national elections.
Tuesday evening the Republicans held a
ratification meeting, which exceeded both
in numbers and in enthusiasm any off-year
demonstration ever known in Boston.
Music hall was packed, and an overflow
meeting of thousand or more was held in
Bumstead hall. This is apparently the
year when Massachusetts, Republicans are
wide awake.

The largest scheme of cooperation ever
is probably that which is now be-
ing considered in England, and which looks
to the union of all the coal interests in the
United Kingdom. The plan, which has
Just been formulated after years consid-
Grafton, provides that the lessees of all the
British coal deposits shall combine in a
single union and divide up the profits of
the operations between the shareholders
and the workmen. The output, it is
thought, will be about 145, 100000 tons,
and the capitalization $500, 100000. One
of the most unique features of the enter
prise is that which provides that the
price of coal shall be fixed by the lord

Maynard and Ills Reward.

Isaac II. Maynard, whom the New York
Democrats have nominated for election to
a permanent place on the bench of the court
of appeals, is the man whom the New York
bar association denounced as disgrace to
the bench, and memorialized the legislature
for his removal. His Offense, as elsewhere
stated, was that of stealing return from
the controllers Office, so as to have false
return counted, which he had procured to
be issued A Democratic judge of the SUI
preme court had condemned this false re-
turn of the election of state senator, and
ordered a true return to be prepared and
transmitted by the board of county can
vassers. On the morning of the arrival of
this corrected return in the controllers S
Office Maynard went to the Office and asked

"ChalIenglng" MCKINLEY.

On the third day of this month Gov.
Mckinley of Ohio, the Republican candi-
date for reelection, and his Democratic OPP
ponent, the Hon. Lawrence T. Neal, were
both announced to speak in the city of
Findlay in that state. 1t was 80 in the
evening when Gov. Mckinley arrived and
the local Democratic managers had nice
little scheme for putting him and the Re
publicans Sin a hole" Both political
meetings were set for 1880 At o'clock
the Republican chairman appeared in Gov.
McKinley's room with a challenge from
the Democrats for Mckinley to engage
that evening in joint debate with Mr..
Neal. The governor at once announced
his cheerful acceptance, and letter was
sent to the Democratic headquarters sug
should be held. The opera house where
the Republican meeting was to be held
was named as the place, as that would
hold 5000 people, while the Democratic
hall was very much smaller. The prompt
acceptance made the Democrats turn pale,
with a realization that it was themselves
who had been deposited in cavity" As
a way of squirming out of it they put in a
proviso that one-half of the seats should
be reserved for Democrats. This they
knew was impossible, because the house
was then packed with people waiting to
hear Gov. Mckinley, and to have attempt
ed to put half of them or any part of them
out would have made a riot. Even if the
hall could have been cleared, there was no
way of telling who were Republicans and
who were Democrats, so as to keep the 9TH
er half out The audience, moreover, fur.
nished the best possible chance for Neal tc
address Republicans and convert them. il
he really wished to do so. On this pretexi
the plan for a joint debate fell through
and Mckinley spoke to an audience which
packed the opera house, while scant 5OC
listened to Neal in the Democratic hall.
