Crisp's Ohairmanship.

"These numerous speculations about
changes in the craftsmanship of the house
committees cannot have any foundation
in fact" said Mr.. Springer meditatively
II have Speaker Crisp's word for it that
he has not discussed the. matter with
anyone; consequently the newspaper
gossip on the s''bject might originate
with interested parties or friends. Be-
sides there is another element in the
matter that is lost sight of-no more
committees can be named until we have
adopted our rules. The house has not
yet decided what committees it will auth
orize. 1t may conclude t. abolish some
to consolidate others, or to create new
committees. All this has to be decided
vet. Under the rul'- VIC have adopted as
to the silver debate the committee on
rules cannot even bring up the question
except by unanimous consent, until we
have disposed of the silver question. Even
if the committee got unanimous consent
to report set of proposed rules, it is ut
terly unlikely these rules could be adopt>
eel without debate. So you see we can
not reach the committee question until
Aug. 80. Of course Speaker Crisp is
giving the matter some preliminary con-
sidcration in the meantime, but he is
keeping his own counsel: l am sure of
that"

The Debate Tiresome.

1t begins to appear that both sides in
the house now regret that so long period
as two weeks was set apart for debate on
the silver repeal bill. Now and then a
brilliant speech by one of the leaders and
orators serves to lift the discussion above
the dead level of m"diocrity into which
it has fallen, but rel;.pses are certain. In
truth nearly everything tas been said
that can be said about the question, and
while the debators may use new forms of
expression and clothe their ideas in pretty
rhetoric, the ideas themselves are lacking
in novelty and have been exploited in
every phase. .@.. =.
So when Mr.. Bryan finished his speech
the other day, the cries Of 'svotc, vote,''
while mainly intended as compliment
to the brilliant young orator, had also
an under-current CT impatient remons-
trance against the shackles which the
house has imposed upon ltselfin the limi-
tation of the debate to two weeks.

THE SENATE is WAITING.
No Move Will Be Made Until the House
Has Finally Passed Upon Repeal.

~ i ~
Ii IS now positively stated that until
the house has finally acted on thepropo-
sition to repeal the purchasing clause of
the Sherman act, the senate will do moth
ing in that direction. The steering com
mittee has ceased it's efforts to steer for
the present. Whether the democrats in
the senate can finally get together on
common ground is a matter about winch
there IS more or less conjecture. ssWhy
is there any necessity for such action:
why should we endeavor to unite on
proposition to kill a thing that is alrea-
dy dead?" said member Of the steering
committee, and he continued: EVERY
body knows the Sherman law cannot be
repealed unconditionally."
The course Of debate in the senate in
dicates the conclusion reached by the
committee, inasmuch as it starts out
with everything favorable for two
weeks desultory discussion, consisting
of set speeches On finance and the rights
Of members to their seats.

WHAT Ratio WILL IF BE.
The General Impression Is That the Zig ht
Will be Made on l6 to l.
A Vote on the Higher Ratio Of 20 to ]
Would be an Abandonment of
F.. ~-.s>.z Principle.

The Chicago Daily News special from
Washington says: It becomes apparent
as the debate in the house progresses that
the test of strength between the silver
and anti-silver forces will be shown on
the substitute for free coinage at a ratio
of Is to 1. This is contrary to the pop
ular impression, which has been that the
silver men would show their greatest
strength on the vote for free coinage at
a ratio of 20 to /. The leaders of the
fight for unconditional repeal of the Sher-
man law, have said that they expected
close vote on substitute for free coin
age at 20 to 1. They regarded that as
the strongest proposition of the free coin
age men. They based their conc lusion
upon the assumption that all the radical
free coinage men and considerable num-
Der of bimetallists, both Democrats and
Republicans, would vote for this in
creased ratio rather than see all legisla-
ton favorable to silver wiped off the
statute books by the unconditional re-
peal of the Sherman law. ~
But the weak points in the scare of
rates above Is to have developed grad
ually. Messrs. Bland, Bryan and other
veterans of free silver coinage are telling
their followers that an increase of the ra-
ito would be IL concession to the single
gold standard, for it would be an admis-
sion that the future use of silver for
money must depend ON its intrinsic val
ue instead of the government stamp, and
would be subject to change just as the
price of bullion fuctuated.
The silver leaders agree with Mr.. .Bry-
an, who said in his speech few days ago
that "bimetallism does not depend upon
any fixed ratio, but may exist as we'll at
a ratio Of l6 to as at the ratio Of 80 to
l. The free silver leaders are c0unseling
their strength on the substitute of 16 to
l, and many of them will decline to vote
for any higher ratio on the ground that
it would be a degradation of the white
metal as a monetary Standard. The sill
yer men admit that an unconditional re-
peal vote will pass the house by larger
majority now because of the peculiar va
riety of free coinage views, but they
hope that the senate will return the bill
to the house with certain concessions to
silver coinage.

flames spread to the adjoining structure

it was only through the tearing down of

yress Of the fire was checked. Had tie
efforts Of the frcmen been futile at that
point. Il whole block Of frame buildings

The buildings across the street, those
of Oscai Erickson and Wm. Mueller were
frequently dispaired Of, for the heat was
terrific and large plate glass windows in
the new brick buildings gave way be-
sore the test and were broken.
The losses are figured up by the Ad-

Neither party can obtain partisan advan-
tage by muddling it or delaying therein
edy. The only way that either party, or
any party leader, can gain an advantage
now is,by rendering generous help in
solving the problem that confronts us
and in bringing speedy relief to the peo-
pie.
In spite of the recent utterances, the
World hopes to see you take this broad
view OF patriotic duty. If you act upon
it the majority Of your fellow Republic
cons will act upon it also for they natur-
ally look to you for leadership in mat
:er of this kind. It is true, as you say,
that ''the people have called upon the
present Administration to handle these
questions" It IS equally true that the
people expect you and your party asso-
ciates to bring to the aid of the Admin
istration your advice in council and your
help in educating public opinion Alright.
You are now an old man, the grizzled
veteran of many campaigns. In the ma
tural order you must soon pass off the
stage of events where you have so long
played distinguished part. Ambition
can hold before you nothing but the hon
orable desire to fifty crown the work of
craftsmanship which your hands and
brains have reared. To accomplish this
the present crisis affords you the golden
opportunity.
Put away Presidential ambition if it's
insidious music still fingers in your ear.
Spurn the cheap tricks of the profession
al politicians who surround you. Speak
as statesman, and there is no man to
whom the people will listen more re-
spectlfully amid the perplexities that
now confuse them.-New York World.

UIM, COUNTY, MINI, WEDNESDAY. AUGUST 3

How our unemployed are to he cared
for during the next six months becomes
4 more serious problem, in view Of climate
conditions, than confronts the Eastern
cities.
B The agitation Of the subject was wise
" begun already. Private contribution
cannot be relied on, for, however great
the libeTality, it would he inadequate.
Besides, those who might have the will
could hardly be expected to have the
means at the present time.
1t ism no sense a work of charity, but
Of justice. Men and women, ablebodied.
sober and industrious, are anxious for
work. They are not beggars seeking to
be supported in idleness. Comparative
" few workingmen are sufficiently fore
handed to endure six months siege Of
enforced idleness. No matter how frug-
ally they may live, men of families can
not accumulate sufficient to meet sudden
and prolonged loss of employment.
The problem is one which should be
met by the public authorities. There is
10 other safe reliance. Humanity and
good order demand action, and the plans
should he made at once. The crisis is at
hand, even if the storm has not absolute
" broken. Instead of confiscating prop
erty for parks, the city authorities had
better devise ways and means to furnish
bread and warmth to those who will
soon be suffering from colo and hunger.

The World to John Sherman.

The people were disappointed in the
interviews on the financial situation
which you put forth just before the as
sembling of Congress. The World sought
an expression Of your views because pub
lie opinion was then and is now in urgent
need of wise guidance. 1t asked you to
speak as statesman in some degree re-
sponsible for the public welfare which
he has sworn to promote. You answered
:os partisan, disclaiming responsibility
on the ground that 'sthe people have
called upon the present Administration
to handle these questions.'
This was equivalent to saying that the
crisis under which the country strains is
none of your business. But it is your
business. Aside from the fact that YOU
are in large degree responsible for the
law which bears your name, and which
preclpitatGd the present troubles, you
are Senator of the United States, owing
4oSttl ool'1Ss' W GA 'iAo P0opAO VI IAC Ottlt
of Ohio, regardless Of party, and in gen"
eral to the people of the whole Union.
Nor is this all. You are statesman
with an illustrious past. You have won
worldwide fame as financier and poll
tical economist. In & critical period of
our country's history you piloted the
ship of state across the stormy seas of ci-
vii war finance to the secure haven of
specie payments. You have stood as a
bulwark of defense against the schemes
of inhationists and the Devices of the
doctrinaires. You are recognized ex-
pert in questions affecting money and
business, and it is grave mistake for
you to scott as a partisan when the peo-
pie turn to you for advice and counsel
in their time of sore trouble.
1t is a mistake because the opportuni-
ty for partisan advantage is not to be
found in the existing emergency. The
''Tom" Platts and the Eugene Hales may
think so, but they are mistaken, as usu-
al. This is not question Of sspractical
politics." 1t is a question ofpatriotism

Protection for Depositors.

The latest proposition called out by
the stringcncy is that the United States
shall guarantee the deposits in national
banks under certain conditions. A bill
has been prepared and will probably be
introduced in the senate by Mr.. Hunton
OF Virginia, which enacts as follows:
Section 1. Every national bank ex-
listing and doing business at the date of
the passage Of this act, shall, as soon as
practicable thereafter, report in writing
its true financial condition to the secre
tary of the treasury, and, if found BY
said secretary to be in solvent condition
deposits thereafter made in such bank in
good faith, in the due course of business
by persons not officers of the bank nor
stockholders in the corporation doing
the banking business, shall he and they
are hereby guaranteed by the United
States to be paid to depositors, or their
lawful assignees or transfefees, wnen
drawn by draft or check, but no person
shall he allowed to overdraw his ac-
count in any manner.
Sec. 2. To indemnity the United
States from loss by reason Of the guar
antee given and made IN the first section
of this act, an annual tax is hereby levied
on all deposits hereafter made in the
banks described in this act equal to one
fourth Of | per cent Of said deposits; ; the
tax shall be paid to the secretary on the
last day Of each month of the year on
the deposits of that month.

This is Significant.

Hoke Smith, Mr.. Cleveland's secretary
of the interior, owns paper at Atlanta,
Georgia, called the Evening journal.
This paper came out the other day
in an editorial advising congress to pass
a bill for the free coinage of both gold
and silver, "putting enough silver in the
silver dollar to put it on parity with
the gold dollar" The paper further de-
clared its belief that Mr., Cleveland and
his cabinet and the Democratic leaders
in the senate, and house are squarely in
favor of this plan. @0.- .
1t has heretofore been given out that
President Cleveland would veto a com
promise measure providing ior the free
coinage of silver on any ratio. But this
looks as if it might be different. Secre-
tary Hoke Smith would hardly dare to
print such an article in his paper unless
he had private assurances that the declar-
alton would not be disagreeable to the
president. He has no reason for desir-
ing to break with his chief and itwas not
necessary for him to say anything if he
felt any uncertainty about the matter
The editorial declaration will naturally
be regarded as semi-ohicial, and as an
indication that the president will sign a
free coinage bill, should one pass, pro-
vided enough silver is put into the dol
lar to make it an honest one. Press Dis
