A Singular Man.

The Hon Henry Cavendish was g.
mathematician, astronomer, geolo-
gist alchcmist, reelusc and-eccen-
trio. Mr., Cavendish was intensely
shy, He had quito diseased aver
sion to all and especially to female
society. The only way to get him to
speak was never to look at him.
Talk, as it were, into vacancy, then
it was not unlikely that he might be
set going Nevertheless men were
a trouble to him and women an in
tolerable nuisance. We mention this
as an eccentricity, but there are
doubtless many men who share his
prejudice. He avoided communica-
ton with his female housokeeper by
depositino notes on the hall table.
A female servant he would never
see, If an unIucky maid showed her
self she was Instantly dismissed, liz
his villa at Chaplain he had q second
staircase built 80 that lie might pre-
vent the almost inevitable encounters

ribly,. they will probably stand the ca
lamities of. English rule, by way OF
President Cleveland's administration
as we'll as their Eastern brethren"
The Rocky Mountain News will say:
"The United States senate, which passed
the unconditional repeal bill yesterday,
gave majority for free coinage last
year. The change from that attitude
reflects only the present pledominance
OF the organized money influence over
the Democratic and Republican parties,
reinforced by all the partisan power of
the administration and all of the official
patronage at the command of the presi-
dent. The vote yesterday indicates no
reaction among the people against the
full mintage rights of silver and its
claim of legal equality with gold at the
established ratio. The sentiment for
silver and for money system and
money supply which shall be shaped by
and for the people is now infinitely
stronger than it was eighteen months
ago.
The passage of the bill will inaugu.
rate struggle between American pro.
ducers and the foreign American power
that will terminate only in the rest0ra-
tlon OF genuine popular government and
conditions that will not subject the
earnings and property of the working
people to be cOnfiScated under color of
law"

of Idaho. The first letter came about
Oct. 9, and since then morning has
not passed without the receipt of "a let
ter from Prendergast.
He has been writing letters and
postal cards for some time past to SEN
atorS, and seems to have taken an eS-
pecial interest in the silver question in
opposition to the repeal of the Sherman
law, and to have felt it to be his duty
TO instruct the silver senators as to the
course to pursue at every turn of the
discussion. He probably received 10
replies to his ons. but was
not deferred from writing on this ac-
count. His favorite medi UNI was the
large postal card, and one of the lead
ers of the repeal opposition says he has
received dozen or more of these since
the silver debate began in tine senate.
| These communications were invariably
| begun III the upper left hand corner Of
| the card and written diagonally across,
so as apparently to utilize all the space
of the card, and crowdlng the name
into the lower right hand cGIner. He
generally signed his name as p. E. j.
| PendergaSt, but occasionally as i. Eu-
| gene James PrendergaSt.
Writing the 21st inst, he said: "Re-
peal Is effectuaily beaten unless clolure
is resorted TO to stitle the voice of the
people. and il this diShonOrable, uncOn-
Stitutional and unusual course is re-
serted to, the peace of the nation is
risked. and no senator who votes for
cloture can justify his course from
patriotic standpoint. repeat that repeal
is defeated unless cloture is resorted
TO-"
On the oath he wrote: 81 notice wa
II
Your side is now the strongest. Ii you
| are determined, firm and patient, you
| can win. The best thing to do is to
fight it out. Look out for articles on
the part of your opponents. Remember
that the strongest and most intelligent
leadership is on the part OF the silverite
side. Grover Cleveland is impotent.
The cry for repeal is simply whim of
his. Is the United States senate going
| to yield to this irresponsible presidents
Whim?"
/ And on the Goth he wrote: Hold the
! fort. The president Is about 10 give ap
| the fight, but when certain persons like
| John Sherman and Banker Benedict, of
| New York, terminated him. If you
mold out you are sure to win. They dare
not attempt cloture. Hill, of New York,
has no influence in the sengte, owing to
| his unsayory record i'll New York. The
preSluenL mas become tlred, ana VIII
give up in despair if you delay vote as
long AS possible, by every means at your
| command"
He adds postscript to this note, in
| which he says:
Il have done and shall continue to do
my duty"
The silver senators paid no attention
| to these cards. for the reason that since
| the silver fight began they have been
| receiving many of similar nature from
| ali parts of the country. and from peo-
| pie apparently excited OH both sides of
the question. These have included
| threatening letters as we'll as some tell
| ing them that if they did not cease thoir
opposition to the repeal bill they would
| be shot down like dogs.

TERRIBLE CALAMITY.
The Denver People See Nothing
Bnt Disaster Ahead.

DENVER, Col, Oct. S0.-The announce
ment through the Associated Press dis
patches this evening that the United
States senate had passed the uncondi-
tional repeal was heavy blow to the
people OF Colorado, although they hard
ly had expected any favorable silver
legislation during the present admins
tratiOn.
Among the mining men the depres-
SION is considerable, and it is only
matter of time when all the silver
mines will be compelled to close down,
The New York Chance and Last Chance
mines, two of the largest in the state,
cannot produce silver should the price
drop below 65 cents per ounce, and the
present indications are that mark will
be reached before long. Other mines
may be able 10 stand few cents fur
ther reduction, but the number OF these
is small.
Speaking editorially. the Denver Re-
publican will say tomorrow:
''Ihe passage of the unconditional
repeal bill is great calamity, and is
going to lead to terrible consequences at
the East and in silver producing sec
tons. There are more than 100, ,OUO peo-
pie III Colorado alone that depend al
hioSi cHtllSiy oD Tile silver mining IN
dustry for support. If the price of
silver continues to fall until the produc-
ton of 1t is stopped, the hardship that
II will cause will simply be incaIculabIe.
There does not seem to be any raw eff
hope in sight either. There is no prob
ability. scarcely a possibility, that any
legislation favorable to silver will COM
mand the approval of President Clave-
land.
Undoubtedly the evil effects of the
repeal Dill will be felt almost as keenIy
in the East as in the Western country.
And this fact may bring the people to
realization of the folly that has been
committed by congress at the dictation
OF Mr.. Cleveland, who seems to he
wholly under the influence of the money
power in many of his acts.
"Fhe only hope now is that the sena-
tors will 90 i'll for a riot of repeal-re-
peal OF the federal election law. the pro-
tectiye tariff law, i'll order that the
country may have the amplest oppor-
tunity to enjoy all the blessings fore

mlnlStration at once. The people of
Colorado will do their best to bear up

THE DIFFERENCE,
Wherein the Senate Repeal Bill
Differs From That Passed by
the Hoase.

Wherein the Senate Repeal Bill
Differs From That Passed by
the Hoase.
The senate repeal bill which has been
substituted for the house one. with only
nine dissenting Populist and Demo-
cratic votes, leaves out the following
words which are in the latter:
But this repeal shall not impair or i'm
any manner affect the legal tender
quality of the standard silver dollars
heretofore coined, and the faith and
credit of the United States are hereby
pledged to maintain the parity of the
standard gold and silver coins of the
United Stotes at the present legal
ratio, or such other ratio as NAV be
established by law.
The senate bill substitutes for them:
And it is hereby declared to be the
policy of the United States to continue
the use OF both gold and silver as
standard money. and to coin both gold
and silver into money of equal intrinsic
and exchangeable value, such equality
to be secured through international
agreement, or by such safeguards of
legislation as will insure the mainUe-
nance of parity in value of coins of the
Two metals, and the equal power of
every dollar at all times in the markets
ana In the payment of debts. And it is
hereby further declared that the efforts
OF tue government should be steadily
directed to the establishment of such
safe system of bimetallism as will MAIN
tain at all times the equal power of
every dollar coined or issued by the
United States in the markets and in the
payment of debts

THE NEXT MAYOR.
Council VIII Elect a Temporary
SucCaSSOr


Successor.
CHICAGO, Oct. 30.-It is probable that
the city council at its meeting mex
Monday night will be obliged to call
special election for mayor to be held at
time not less than twenty days from
that meeting and within reasonable
time. 1t is also probable that at that
meeting the aldermen will elect one of
their number to serve as mayor until
such time as another mayor shall be
elected by the people, and that the
member so chosen will be vested with
all the powers, all rights and privileges
of a regularly chosen chief executive.
All day Corporation Counsel Kraus
and his assistants searched the statutes
for some clause or section bearing upon
the present emergency. The result was
the finding of a section of the old city
charter providing for just such an
emergency as has now arisen. The new
city charter. adopted in 1872, under
which the city government is now being
run. provides that such sections or pro-
visions of the old charter as are not in
conflict with the new charter shall be
considered operative
This section of the old city charter
provides for the election of temporary
mayor, who shall be vested with the
full powers of the regular mayor, by the
city council, and who shall serve until
new mayor is regularly elected. 1t
| provides further that the city council
shall call special election for the Sc
| lection of a new mayor within ten days
after the vacancy had occurred. -
Under the provisions of the new elec-
ton law, special election may be held
with twenty days notice. the only pro-
vision being that the names of the can
didates must be certified to the board of
| election commissioners fifteen days prior
to the election, 1t is possible, therefore,
| to elect a successor to the office made
vacant by the death of the late mayor
