The crew of the Chocorua say that no

Facts About Silver.

The New York Herald has gathered
some facts relating to the product Of silver
in the United States. The sum total OF
last years yield of all the mines was 5S,-
900, 900 ounces, worth at present prices
I, bout $40, 900, 900, or at the average price
of last year about $50, ,000,0 900. Of this ag
gregate all except 100000 ounces came
came from the mines of four states and
three territories, namely: Colorado, Ida
no, Montana, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexi-
CO and Utah. These states and territories
represent population of l, ,Q95,621 That
is to say, 100000 people produce less
than $50, ,000, 900 worth of silver, or, as the
Herald puts it:
Here is a population of 100000 people
and total yearly product worth at market
prices less than $40, 900, 900. Every intel
ligent resident of these states must realize
the absurdity of the contention of local
"orators" or interested owners of mines
that the remaining 62, 900, 900 of our people
must bring ruin upon the country by COM
pelling the treasury to go on buying this
metal and issuing currency against it
merely to benefit this fraction of less than
per cent of the population. As a matter
of fact by no means all of even this l,000,-
900 people are dependent upon the silver
industry. Agriculture, coal-mining, the
raising of cattle and other pursuits occupy
d very considerable part of the population
of the seven states in question; and in Col
orado, which produces nearly half Of all
the white metal, it is estimated that there
is more capital invested in cattle-raising
alone than in silver mining.

A Breezy Speech.

A young man who represents the Den
yer district in congress is known Is the
| Colorado Cyclone" and he has already
| shown his capacity for creating breeze.
| Lafe Pence is the name of the windy ora
| tor, and he belongs to the Populist party.
He is a rampant free-coinage advocate,
and he has several rods in pickle for those
| half hearted milk and water Democrats
/ who have been preaching free coinage for
i dozen years or more and have suddenly
| discovered the necessity for suspending the
purchase of silver.
In addressing the free-silver convention
on Wednesday Mr.. Pence paid his compli-
ments to President Cleveland in a round
about way when he declared that if Bourke
Cochran had written his silver views before
the election, as he has since, Mr.. Cleve-
land could not have been elected. Secre-
| tary Carlisle came in for blast in the fol-
lowing language: Gwen the man OF
Kentucky has proven false to his colors and
has become the errsnd boy for a thick
necked executive" To those who are dis
! posed to yield to the banishments of the
| White House he has this to say: "If any
! member Of congress from the agricultural
| states should dare to betray their people,
surrender to patronage promises or cringe
under the whip of Gar Reeds caucus, they
will not warm a seat in the next congress
This is quite refreshing, indeed, consid
ering the attitude of Secretary Carlisle and
other members of the cabinet, to say moth
ing of the well-understood purpose of the
president to bring refractory congressmeL
to terms by giving them to understand
that if they cannot support his 1inancia
policy they need not expect official favor'
at his hands. 1t is not safe to change thu
rules so as TO choke of filibustering aftel
this dire threat, and the ghost of Caesar
ism may frighten the house into giving
control OF legislation into the hands of OBJ
| structionists. These are but muttering'

GOVERNOR PATTIsos is very much pleas
ed over Pennsylyania's exhibit at the
Worlds Fair. In conversation ne salu
that the Keystone State can well De PROUD
Of the completeness Of everything 1t mas
to show. Especially is this the case with
the Pennsylvania building, the coal exhlo-
it, the finest there; the agricultural exhibit
and the exhibit of oils. The Pennsylvania
buildiuq ia crowded all the time, people
from all over the world calling to see the
Liberty Bell, but once in the building they
are 10th to leave it, so cosy and comfort
able is everything. The building is wide
open. the verandas win seat two thous-
and people. and at almost all hours every
Bit of space is taken up. 1t is the only
State building that has the verandah fea-
ture. and it is highly appreciated by the
tired crowd. At present everything is har-
monious among the Pennsylvanians VINO
are in charge. 1t has been the subject Oh
remark that Pennsylvania has contributed
more people as visitors to the Fair than
any other State with the exception Of Hi
nois. On Pennsylvania Day, September 2.
it is expected that at least one hundred
thousand people from the Keystone state
will be present, and an effort viii be made
to bring the attendance up to that number.
The programme arranged for that day by
the executive committe Of the State Com
mission will be carried out, and Pennsyl-
vania will own the Fair for one day. AT
present there are few exhibits of fruit and
live stock from any State, but in Septem-
ber and October these two classes will be
filled up, and great preparations are being
made for grand display.

The Western Idea.

The mine, mill and smelter owners of
count OF the low price of silver, and the
threatened repeal of the Sherman law, and
they will send strong delegation to Wash
ington to fight for free coinage. They are
vsry determined about it, and the people
have been holding mass meetings at which
| the subject is discussed. The following
| from the Denver NerS gives an idea of
what they think there of the silver ques-
| tion:
The necessity for the repeal of the Sher-
man law as a step towards international
bimetallism has been urged on the free
coinage members Of Congress for several
months past. They have been told that
unless Europe were convinced that the
United States would cease to uphold sill
yer without the cooperation of the other
nations that cooperation could not be mad,
| and that it would be useless to send repre-
sentatives to the monetary conference IN
November and useless to hold the confer
ence. But if silver men would surrender
| the Sherman law we have been assured
| that Europe would be forced to an inter
| national agreement and return to Dlmetai-
l ism. HTeIcDutu DllutldAllSIS; iihC
| Bnrke Cochran in the North American Re
| rieu for June, have based their pleas TO
| silver men to support Mr.. Clevelands wall
street views wholly on reasoning OF this
| kind.
When England closed the mints of India
| to the coinage of silver on private accounts
| dispatches from Washington announced
| that the cabinet was unanimous III the
| opinion that there was no longer an object
| in holding the monetary conferences, since
| nothing could be done without England
and it was now clear that nothing was 10
be expected from England.
So it will be seen that this argument lor
unconditional repeal has collapsed and the
money loaning conspirators must now rest
their case upon the plea that the monthly
| silver purchase by the government Is re-
| sponsible for the panic of this year, al
| though the stringency EXISTS in the great
J or part of Europe as well as America ana
| has occasioned unparalleled disaster IN
| Australia. ~.
The attempt to place the business OF the
| civilized nations ON gold basis is pauper
| iziDg the industrial classes by contracting
the currency and appreciating the unit OF
| value This is the meaning OF the nara
| times and financial ruin. We have only
got a foretaste of what is to come unless
the rule of money sharks is brought 10 an
| end
The action of India makes an independ-
ant financial course by the United State
| imperative. 1t has destroyed every vestage
| of justification for any other policy. The
| coming congress will be divided INTO cham
pions of the producing masses and advo-
| Gates of a financial system that has already
wrought measureless misery and built up
a class towering in unearned wealth and
special privilege that constitutes the great
est social peril of our time.

Schweiniurth's New Heaven.

The people of Lexington, Ky, are great
ly worked up over the discovery that
branch of Schweinfurth's Heaven Is IN
operation there on one of the leading thor
oughfares It is located in an old, hand
somely furnished mansion, and several
prominent and wealthy ladies have Joined
the angel thTong.
Mrs. Francis, the presiding elder of the
branch heaven, is q wonderfully shrewd
woman and is capable OF arguing with the
most learned theologian. The women
have daily held services that rival IN mys-
terv the practices of the black arts, and to
the uninitated suggest the foundation of
all their creed, free love. Schwelnfurth,
the woman claims, is privileged being,
and nothing he does is unholy.
The daily ceremonies are held in an up
stairs room, which is fitted up in manner
resembling an alter of church. A pic
ture of Schweinfurth is the object worship
ed, while hanging upon the walls OF the
place are a number of pictures of the
Schweinfurth Heaven at Rockford, Ill,
and the ''angels" occupying that sacred
precinct.
Among the pictures were those OF three
sanctified children born of the spirit at the
Rockford place. Inc eIuesI ol these Is
known as Princess Myrtle, child of the
virgin, Miss Weldon, who occupies an ex-
alted position in the heaven"
The other children of the spirit are Prin-
cess BERTHE and Prince Areal, the latter be-
ing called the "Prince of the House OF Da
vid." The mother of these children is Mrs.
Tuttle. another inmate of the 'heaven." "
Her husband also lives there and is also a
believer in the faith
Other pictures show the 80 angels who
occupy the heaven at work in the hay
and cornfeld. In other places on the
walls are oil paintings OF the husbands OF
the five women conducting the establish
ment, they being all widows.
| Mrs Anderson, who is the widow of the
| late Joseph Anderson, is supposed to furn-
| ish the money for the establishment. She
is said to have expended already upward
| of $40. 900 on Schweiniurth and the local
| "heaven." Her relatives are much mortl-
fed over her strange actions, and although
DR.. Bartlett of the Presbyterian Church,
| has pleaded and argued with her, he could
not overcome her strange infatuation
Mrs. Lavinia Ricketts,, the widow OF a
local minister, has removed all her furni-
| ture to the local heaven She has two
sons here who are heart broken over the
action of their mother.

THE novel liquor monopoly set up by
by South Carolina, bids fair to raise an in
teresting issue between the State and the
railroads.
The law prohibits the roads from bring
ing liquor into the State except for the Of
fetal dispensatories. At least one com
pany-the Richmond and Danville-pro
poses to pay no attention to the prohibi-
tion, but announces that it will carry liq-
uor az usual. On the other hand Governor
Tillman declares that he will rigidly en-
force the law against every corporation
that attempts to violate it.
The roads will doubtless take the
ground that the prohibition is an unwar-
ranted interference with interstate traffic
and may also question the constitutional.
ity of the law on other grounds. AS the
controversy promises to be maintained
with determination on both sides and in
wolves the powers of the State to ply the
liquor traffic tn the exclusion of all Other
dealers the outcome will be awaited with
curious interest.

JUDGE JENKINS, of the United States
Circuit Court, who has been indicted and
arrested in Milwaukee on charge OF
swindling, is not in an enviable posision.
Judge Jenkins was director in the de-
funct Plankinton Bank, which was con-
Quoted in way to swindle depositors out
of their money. The Judge pleads the
baby act by asserting that he paid no at
tention to his duties as director, but trusted
to others, and that he knew nothing OF
what was going on. This all may be true,
but the Judges name as director was used
to obtain deposits. His excuse is inadmis-
