that he hash q shirt to his back, and weighs

tainly good kind Of immigration, and there
is great deal more of it in Texas than there

CONCERNING SILVER.

The unexpected action of British In.
aia in suspending the free COMA ge s,s-
TEN without notice. has taken the FIN
amelia world 10y surprise and brought
out d crop of opinions that are almost
as various as they are numerous. From
among those hat nave thus far been
mao public. we quote as worthy OF con
sideration the views of \. j. Warner of
Ohio. president of the Bi- Metallic league.
as follows:
The stopping of the coinage of silver
in India has inaugurated a new none
tary revolution. 1t is a movement deep
seated and will be far reaching in it's
consequences. The closing of the minis
of Bombay and Calcutta is "a part of a
gigantic conspiracy to seize upon the
present opportunity to finally and for
ever make a single gold standard and to
extend it over the world. The imme-
diate consequence will be that silver will
fall and gold viii increase in value faster
than ever. Prices will fall everywhere
as gold rises. Every advantage will
inufe to cred tors and the creditor ma
tons. England has set out to subdue
the world. not with arms but with gold.
What is Their left to do but for the
western cont nent. under the lead Of the
UniWd Stat ). to unite and act indep-
evidently. and to establish a financial
system founded on equity and calcu-
lated to secure stability in value. and

IN A HOTEL FIRE
several People PerIshed in Chicago Yes
terday Morning.

CHICAGO. August IA hotel fire,
resulting in the death OF number OF
the guests, occurred this morning. The
fire was in the Senate hotel, three
story structure on Madison street near
Fifth avenue. One man jumped from
q window in the top story and was
killed. About half dozen others were
suffocated and burned 70 death. The
first body TO be recovered was that OF
Harry Godfrey, the seven-year-old son
of j. Godfrey, OF Buchanan, Mich. Loss
on building and contents is practically
total but as the structure was old and
the furnishings cheap, the amount Will
not exceed a few thousand dollars. A
restaurant occupied the ground floor
and the Senate Hotel the two upper
ones. Ii contained thirty-six rooms
and held thirty guests, when the ire
broke out shortly after q. m. The
rooms were separated by flimsy wooden
partitions and proved good food for the
flames. Before the guests could be
warned the flames had cut off the es-
cape OF a number from the stairways
and they were caught like rats in
trap. J. Gooche is landlord OF the
Senate.
The bodies first recovered were those
OF two men and two women. Mrs.
Ahrens and her daughter Annie, who
slept on the lower floor, discovered the
fire first A moment later they and all
the occupants were seeking an avenue
OF escape Annie and her mother CROPPED
their way through the sitting smoke
to the window and stood out on the sill.
The crowd below yelled TO them not to
Jump. With desperation the women
chung to the frame work, keeping as far
out as possible. while the smoke and
flames burst through the windows
around them. Although badly
burned they retained their position
until the arrival OF hook and ladder
company. A ladder was raised and a
man unknown next reached the win
dow. The flames were almost scorch-
ing him and he jumped to the stone
pavement. He was picked up in an
unconscious condition. The work OF
rescuing the imperilled inmates then
Systematically began. For some,
hemmed in by flames, oyerpoWered by
smoke and with ali egress shut off the
rescue was too late, however. The fire
is said to have started from an over
turned stair lamp.

The Chicago Herald can not be blamed
for standing up for its own statesman,
Mr.. SPRINGER, who is to be supplanted
by Mr. WM L. WILSON, of West Vir-
ginia, as chairman of the Ways and
Means Committee. Mr.. SPRINGER de-
serves an the praise the Herald bestows
on him, except that which characterizes
him as a better leader and more exper-
fenced in tariff matters than Mr.. VIII
son. That is unQuestionably untrue.
Mr.. SPRINGER is more laxative, but
Mr.. WILSON leads him by several lengths
in the solid qualities Of craftsmanship.
Mr.. SPRINGER is a great hustler and
buttonholer, but Mr.. WILSON commands
silence, respect and attention from all
sides when he rises 70 speak. Mr..
SPRINGER is a hard worker In his way,
but Mr. WILSON is q harder worker in
his way. The one may gain his point,
but without convincing, while the other
will gain it more quickly and gain it
permanently by convincing logic.
Solar as experience in tariff legislation
| is concerned Mr.. WILSON is fully the
equal Of Mr.. SPRINGER, il not his supe-
rior. His practical experience dates
from his first term in the Forty-eighth
Congress, when he came at once to the
front as a leading dsbater on the Dem
ocratic side. He has served five terms
| 10 Congress aud though he has none Of
the arts OF the politicians he is to-day
probably the most trusted tariff
reform leader in the House.
Ills work has been from the start
in the interest OF tariff reform and
be was selected out Of scores OF able
Democrats by the national leaders Of
the party 70 carry the tariff reform
campaign into the great Northwest and
to his stupendous aud conscientious
/ labors in a large measure are due the
utter defeat OF McKInleyism in that
section last year.
In the last Congress Mr.. WILSON was
prominently mentioned for Speaker and
would have been made chairman Of the
Ways and Means Committee had it
been practicable at that time-with the
Senate Republican-to pass general
tariff reform measure.
He probably had as much TO do with
framing the Mills bill as Mr.. MILLS
| himself, aud was one OF the most active
members Of the committee.
Therefore, so far as experience in
tariff legislation and practical knowl-
edge OF the subject goes, Mr.. WILSON
outranks Mr.. SPRINGER He, also, out
ranks him as a debater and as an orator.
The Democratic press Of the country
is unanimous in commenting the stated
intention Of Speaker CRISP to appoint
Mr.. WILSON to the head Of the Ways
and Means Committee. His services,
his uuQuestioned integrity and his great
ability are universally recognized.
WILLIAM L. WILSON is the man for
/ the place above all others.

as the enormous sales Of Hoods Sarsap-

Hoods Sarsapsrills has been as staple

IN this section and, in fact, throughout

fore October. September is usually a

ffit keeps up its record this year the
outlook for the farmers will be very
bad indeed.
tits fortunate, as an agricultural ex-
change points out, that the crops In
wheat, rye, oats aud corn do not feel
the effects Of this almost unexampled
dry season, and the farmers have no
complaints TO 6le on that score. The
harvests are safe, but the orchards and
small fruits are rapidly fading into fall
ures and every day adds to the lessen
ing chances Of securing anything from
these sources. Vegetation is drying up
in the hot sun. Fields run brown aud
bare. There is little for the cattle to
feed upon and stock must be cared for
from the supplies laid up for winter
nse. The situation is almost without =
redeemiug feature and the great cry
for soaking rain-storms speaks the seri-
Gus side OF every farming community.
The peril from drought is otherwise
general also. The rivers are very low
en many sections smaller streams
d-Fau up, and creeks have grass
sing in their channels. Along the
Wand border pastures fields are
and farmers are feeding hay. In

ing institutions to the full extent OF
their United States bonds Secretary
CARLISLE. who approves this measure,
says it would add $40. 900, 600 to national
bank circulation and would improve the
situation very considerably.
This Is undoubtedly true, but while
the proposed bill would be an immedI-
ate measure Of relief TO the money mar
ket it would be but temporarily so and
would not solve the currency problem.
When It had accomplished all it is de-
signed to accomplish the situation
would remain the same, without the re-
peal Of the silver purchasing clause Of
the sherman. act, and our currency
would still lack the confidence in it's
soundness which is responsible for the
country's present financial difficulty.
The majority in both branches Of
Congress favor the repeal Of the Sher-
man act; the division is only upon what
shall follow that obnoxious piece Of leg
islation.
Why not, therefore, repeal first and
give the relief the country demands and
debate on the subsequent legislation az
erwards?
