LITTLE ACCOMPLISHED.

The situation in congress presents
little change as yet, the tendency
being to formulate some plan or
measure which will not be the ex-
treme in either direction. There
seems, however, to be a weakening,
quite perceptible, on the part of
some of the most radical mono-met-
alists and a willingness to adopt
means tending to conciliate the
west. The forcible utterances of
Representative Bland have unques-
tionably done much to bring about
this slight change. Senator Hill
has in all probability induced Tam
many's leader to surrender his po-
sition as leader of the administra-
ton idea and it will not be very
strange thing now to see the great
New York organization directly as
sisting the silver men and at the
same time indirectly aiding Senotor
Hill. Whatever there may be of
political finesse in such move, its
effect will be substantial aid to
the cause Of silver.
The recent action of the council
Of India in ordering the reopening
of the minis for the coinage of the
white metal, tends at least to prove
that no country can adopt mono
metallic standard and continue its
intercourse with other countries at
a rate of exchange fixed by itself.
AS a matter Of fact, however, the
closing of the minis in India was
only part of the Lombard Wall
street scheme to depress silver to
such an extent that if possible it
would not hold rank in any coun-
try as a monied medium.
Out of the many measures which
have been and will be introduced
in congress, some plan will un-
doubtedly be adopted whereby a
parity will be established which
will be sufficiently high to admit of
working nearly all Of the silver
mines in the west.

The Currency Corner.
The New York Sun SAWS:

The famous gold corner, which eliminated
on Friday, Sept. "a, 1869, popularity known as
BLACK Friday" was broken by the sale by the
government of S4,00O,0OO in gold and by the an
nouncement that it stood ready to sell $4,000
900 more if necessary.
A corner in currency, not so extensive as the
gold corner of 1869, but much more mischievous,
is now hampering trade and seriously incon-
veniencing every citizen. The banks refuse to
pay their depositors either in coin or in paper.
Spectators are taking advantage of this fact
to buy up currency at a premium and to exact
a greater premium for it from those to whom
they sell it again.
The government can break this currency cor
ner by the use of the means that were en-
ployed TO break the gold corner in 1869. If Sec
rotary Carlisle would but announce that he is
prepared TO accept offers OF United States
bonds and pay for them in gold to the lunt
required for the sinking fund during / = past
fiscal year. or say S4s, 100000, the corner in cur
rency will come suddenly to an end, the strain
upon the banks will be relieved, and the gov
eminent will save interest to the amount Of
Sl,92G0OO year.

What They Left Undone.

A very fine meeting had the worlds
congress of engineers at Chicago. From
the uttermost parts of the earth they
came and read papers ON the exact
amount Of power it would require to
raise one horse load one foot in the air
and just how strong a quadruple expan-
sion engine ought to be to keep from
blowing up when a given amount Of
steam was applied to it. In the section
of electrical engineering the paper read
ers ratified about among volts and am
peres and dynamos till all was blue.
1t was no doubt thoroughly inspiring
to the paper readers. But some of them
wore their new summer tan shoes to that
congress. They walked the streets of
Chicago in the same and meandered gay
ly through the labyrinths of the Worlds
fair. AS they did so no doubt it panied
them to observe the bright new yellow
shoes taking on day by day darker
hue By the time the week was over and
the engineers were ready to go home
the giddy russell shoes, alas, were no
longer russell at all, but dull camp
kettle black, especially if it rained dur
ing the congress week. No human be-
ing would ever have guessed the things
had ever been other that the meanest
kind Of rusty black.
It was Chicago SCOT that did it in a
weeks time, and there are other soft
coal cities-Cincinnati, for instance
still dirtier than Chicago. With all
their learning, all their inspiration and
good times. the engineers failed to tell a
waiting, suffering public how to dispel
the unspeakable gulf of smoke which
is fast swallowing the soft coal cities of
the Union and making them uninhabit-
able for clean people. Give us rem
edy, Messieurs Engineers, and don't wait
till the next Worlds fair to do it either.

contest in their state which in some
respects is quite peculiar. Its
standard bearer was the Trainer of
the tariff plank in the national
platform of '92, on which Cleveland
was elected. He now appears on
state platform directly in opposition
to the views of the president. With
Governor Mckinley as an opponent
the race will be hard one.

A Good Word and Some Good Advice

A Good Word and Some Good Advice.
The Philadelphia Public Ledger, now
called by some envious critics the presi-
dents official organ, pats the members
of Fifty-third congress gently on the
back and calls them good boys. Then it
proceeds to give them advice on the duty
of the hour as follows:
The great majority in congress and out of it
have no selfish purpose to be served and act
according to the best light they have on any
given subject 1t is therefore good policy in
such debate as, according to promises from
Washington, is to begin at once to avoid per-
sonalities and the attempt to show that the
motives of the opposition are selfish. The man
whose personal interests lead him the wrong
way will not be converted by abuse, nor will a
singing personal speech, however much it may
be applauded, convince the understandings
The coinage question may and should be dis
cussed with no more passion than the teacher
exhibits while explaining to his class the rule
of three. Looking back over the periodical
discussions of coinage questions which have
taken place at intervals during the last hun
dred years, one may readily see that the per-
sonal element of the debate was a real him
drance to an understanding of the subject and
that at no time was the decision of congress
directly controlled by the personal interests Of
majority of the members. Unfortunately
politics have much to do with votes on such
subjects, and politics should be kept out of the
coming discussion if possible.

At the time of the recent report of the
comptroller of the treasury there were in
the United States 6,979 banks. OF these
3,788 were national banks. Forty-eight
of the national banks are in New York

fifths of the specie and legal tender re-

BRAVO Mr.. HYAMS.
Season of Opera Pro-
jected at the Academy
May Last All Summer.

Through the efforts of Mr.. Harry
| Hyams, me business manager of the
Academy of Music, the people Will De
treated to q full season of light opera at
cheap prices during the coming summer.
1t is a personal venture upon the part OF
Mr.. Hvams, who has secured the Academy
for the purpose and organized a company,
the leading members of which have been
favorites for several years. In fact, all
the members OF the company have been
singing during the past season, but now
that The winter season has closed Mr..
Hyams has been able TO form an unu-
\ sually strong company. The season Will
open with "rhe Gypsy Queen" on Mon
day evening, May 20.

Hyams, in speaking Of his project, said.
this m~orning:-'1L is an experiment L
had in contemplation for several years.

have closed so late that | have been

pie will only turn out. don't believe in
rushing into a venture OF this kind heels

electric fans and will augment the Wag'
ner orch estra. I've an idea it's going TO
pay. / don't know why 1t should not.
The summer prices will be 20, 30, 80 and
rs cents. Thus, you see. three members
of a family can enjoy a first clase per-
Torrance while occupying good seats,
for Sl.05 instead of having TO pay Sl.5O Tor
that privilege. Oh, yes, the prices Will
remain the same for she matlnees as for
the evening performances. The prices
are cheap. The performances Will pc
given every evening. and mat1nees on
Wednesdays and Saturdays. An extra
matinee will be given on Decoration
Day."

poses to put upon the stage during the
