MR.. LEWIS II. BLAIR of Richmond
has written pamphlet on the Stand

Currency, which concludes with the
following wise remark 1.-The solution
of the monetary problem is not IN
Brussels conferences, nor in Legislation,
but simply in lai&se= fare. Hands
of. and the monetary clouds now so
threatening will pass away" Currency
ike business will settle itself if let alone.
That legislation cannot settle it has
been demonstrated as often as tried.
AS it is now the silverites, though pro-
Tossing a desire for the parity of all cur
rency, object to the payment Of the pub
lie debt with gold, and the gold bugs, "
making the same profession, refuse to
accept silver in payment of what the
government owes them. There is too
much. instead of too little money. If
there were less, all of it, paper, silver
and gold would be more valuable, and
no man would object to receiving any
sort that might be offered him in pay
ment of debt. 1t is an indisputable
fact that if the salaries Of members of
Congress we're paid with silver dollars,
the most violent kickers among them
would be the pronounced silverites.

were killed outright and twelve or
fourteen others badly wounded, some

freichts on southern iron to northern
points will be advanced thirty-tive cents
n ton. for the avowed reason that With
out such an advance northern iron
manufacturers cannot compete with
their southern rivals. No, nor can
thev with it. The natura facilities
for iron making possessed by the South
are so superior to those Of the
North that successful competition by
the latter is impossible, no matter how
much it may be assisted by the rail-
roads, for if land freights be raised too
high. water routes will be selected. Ii
il were not for the protective tarlff,
which has so far enabled northern iron
manufacturers to conduct profitable
business. even against natural disad-
yaptaees. all of them would have long
since moved their plants to the South
so as to reap the benefits resulting from
the natural advantages for their pusi-
ness possessed by this section, and the
South would be the great iron store
house for the world. But. for all this,
there are some, not many to be sure,
southern men, so-called democrats at
that. who do not complain OF the
DELAY in calling an early extra session
of Congress, so that the pledge upon
which Mr.. Cleveland was elected may
be redeemed by the repeal of the high

Trial Of DIR. Briggs.

The final and fateful trial of Rev. DIR.
Charles A. Briggs, of New York, for
heresy, began yesterday before the
Presbyterian Assembly in Washington,
whose profound interest and concern
lest the conviction of Briggs shall split
the church from end to end is not con-
cealed. Following the preliminaries
Rev. DR.. Joseph ]. Lampe, for the anti
Briggs men, spoke 81 hours, assaulting
the teachings of the professor in detail
and from all sides. DR.. Briggs began
his seven hours reply, and had not fin
ished when the assembly adjourned.
After he concludes Col. ]. ]. McCook
will close for the prosecution. It's not
expected that the assembly will reach
a final decision before Wednesday.
This is expected to be severe, involving
the separation of DR.. Briggs from the
church. The manifest probability of
this revives the talk about Briggs be-
coming leader in forming new de-
nomination. Word comes from Gin
cinnati that four prominent Presbyte-
rians of that city are going to Washing
ton to assist DR.. Briggs in the project.

In AN ANGRY HIPPo's JAws.-Be-
tween the jaws of the angry Central
Park hippopotamus, Caliph, Keeper
Hugh Downey was held helpless in a
vise-like grip several minutes on Sat
urday in New York, and few among
the hundreds of Mortified spectators
thought he would be rescued alive.
Only the friendly diversion of the fe-
male hippopotamus, Miss Murphy, en-
abled his companions to save him from
the crunching teeth, seriously bruised
and probably hurt internally.
The big old hippo" and his wife and
daughter, Fatima, were reunited Fri
day, but another separation was decid-
ed best because Of family jars. Pitch
folk in hand, Downey went in to close
the gate between the tank where Ca
liph was swimming. He tried to shut
the gate and the angered father chip
POI made a furious snap at him, barely
missing him. Despite frequent jabs
from the pitchfork, the maddened ami
nal followed Downey as he edged
along toward the exit. Finally. Caliph,
with terrible stroke Of his snout sent
the pitchfork clean across the tank and
onto the grass plot.
Downey shouted commandingly at
the big hulk before him him. Caliphwas
too angry to obey, and instead charged
upon the defenseless man. a snap OF
those terrible jaws and a cry of
dismay from the three hundred odd
woman and children, a shout from the
male portion of the spectators and all
that could be seen of Downey was his
two feet, incased in long-legged rubber
boots.
Backing off from the slope of the
tank, Caliph raised his head in the air,
grunting and snorting, and shook the
man as dog shakes a rat. The legs
twisted and twined about each other,
and at each shake it seemed as If they
would snap off from the mans body.
Seeing her friend in trouble Miss
Murphy rushed to the rescue and made
a furious attack on Caliph's rear, iab-
bing her teeth into his hips and sides
and sending him forward towards keep
ers Levey and Ellison. As he turned
to resent his spouse's intrusion, he
opened his mouth, and Levey, catching
Downey by the legs, pulled him out and
dragged him between the ratings of the
fence to safety.
Downey was considerably injured in
ternally, it is feared, and has bad bruises
caused by Caliph's tusks. He says that
his thought as he felt his head strike
Caliph's fat throat was that he had to
die but once; then he lost conscious
ness. Downey has had many narrow
escapes in his career as keeper, but this
was the closest shave of all.

THE Big SAVING IN PESsIoNS.--lt Is
now believed at the Pension Office that
it is possible the saving to result from
the revocation of Raum's order No..
1G4, may amount to So, 100000 or $50
100000. Secretary Smiths action al
fects all the pensions issued under that
order to applicants claiming under the
section of the act of June 81, 1890. More
than 100000 of these pensions have al
ready been granted, the aggregate
amount being estimated at $ljO,0@,-
600. There are also large number OF
applications pending. Until several thou
sand of tho old cases where pensions
have been granted have been readjudl-
Gated, it will be difficult to ascertain
a basis for close estimate as to the pos
sible saving.
