ANOTHER COINAGE BILL

MIR. Voohces has introduced a bill

retirement of small denominations of
gold and paper, and for other pur.
poses; and it was referred to the
committee on finance. 1t directs the
coinage into silver dollars of stand
ard weight and fneness, of the seign.
orage. on profit from the coinage of
silver bullion under the net of Feb
runry, 1878, and July, 1890.
The silver dollars are to be full le-
gal tender and no less than $4,000.
600 month are to be coined and
covered into the Treasury. When
all the seignorage or profit has thus
been coined. the Secretary of the

A CURIOUS WAR.

The most peculiar feature of tho
war In Brazil, snvs the Now York
Sun, is that the belligerents cannot
get at each other. The loyal army is
unable to fight the rebel navy. Ad
miral Mello cannot reach his enemy
OH land, and President Pcixoto hns
not been able to reach his enemy at
sea. The rebel Slips fire few shots
into Rio once in a while, and the
shore batteries take few shots at
the rebel ships when they get a
chance; but the Admiral dare not 20
ashore and the President cannot take
to sea. 1t is one of the most illog.
ical wars that have ever been fought,
even in South America. 1t has been
going on for nearly four months and
we doubt whether n hundred lives, or
even fifty, have been lost by both
belligerents within that time. We
suppose it can he continued as long
ns Mello ID able to find supplies and
Peixoto is able to keep him off shore.
Perhaps the most saddcning thing
about the war is its expense. The
people of Brazil seem to take but lit
tie interest in it, and very few OF
them appear to care which side wins.
Yet. for all that, they will have ia
foot the bills.

IMPORTED COAL

No ADVANTAGE TO BALTIMORE MANU-
FAoTURERs--CosTs More THAN WEST
VIRGINIA Coal.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.-A very
striking statement regarding free
coal was made to the Ways and
Means Committee yesterday by Mr..
VIM A. Baldwin, a member of the
Baltimore delegation which, appear
ed before the committee for the pur
pose of securing higher rate OF
duty on cotton ducking. When Mr..
Baldwin had stated the reasons why,
in his opinion, his industry would be
injured by the rate of duty fixed in
the Wilson bill, Mr.. Bryan. of Ne
braska, called his attention to the
fact that the bill removed the duty
on coal and inquired if free coal
would not compensate him for the
reduction in duty on his manufactur
ed productions.
"No," Mr.. Baldwin answered. "The
placing of coal on the free list will
do us no good 1t would cost me
more to haul imported coal from the
wharf ut Baltimore to my factory, Il
distance OF five miles. than it costs
mo to bring it 200 miles from West
ern Marylnnd and West Virginia on
the railroad without bi eaking bulk
1t is because of the necessity OF
breaking bulk in the case of import
ed coal that makes it unable to com
pete with the domestic coal"
This statement by disintsrosted
manufacturers gives ont fully the ar
guincnt of those who contend thai
the placing of coal on the free list
will not affect tho Maryland nad
West Virginia coal industry.

WHERE SANTA CLAUS
LIVES.


An old man sat in the cheery warmth,
OF the yule fires blaz;pg light,
Unbending aud stern, sorrow tueccd u;
his heart,
there was naught
To warm up his breast with delight.
He was brooding alone; with the days that
We're gone
Had vanished his dearest delight.
But in dreams the 'blest presence, threw
round him its spell,
One, sorrowful solacc, his lono heart could
tell,
This dawn DER the darkness in sight.
The tortoise shell" purred on tho rug at
his feet,
And unused Of tho days long agone,
OF tho cheery noise, and frolic gay,
When with scurry and romp, and childish
plny,
Children, waited the Christmas morn.
He winSed and blinkcd, i'll colloqual casc,
Slyly Watching his masters face,
Saying, plain as could be, Il hopo you arc
we'll,
Although, you seem now, to have nothing
to tell,
or your JOY in tho past sunny days"
Both, nodded, but softly tho door was un-
closed
And quaint little maided appeared
Speaking thus: Can you tell me if Santa
is here
With his sleigh full of things, and his
lovely reindocrs,
He is coming tonight; 1 have heard.
know dear old Santa will bring lis somo
bread
And a fire to make us NIL warm
And clothes for us alone, two, three,
four,-fvo,
Dear Santa knows just tho best way to con-
trivc,
To shield little children from harm.
Ho must live in this house, its so pretty
md bright,
They tell mo his homes very fine.
He has books, toys, and dolls that can
laugh and can talk.
His sheep will say bna, and his doggies
will bark.
l wish they wore-some of theln-minc.
l thought 'twns so cold and SO dark over
home,
Tint I'd have to show him the way,
For mother is sick. and there isn't II light,
But when Santa comes--ho'll make every
thing right
So tell me, is Santa here, pray?
The old man arose, with eyes misty nnd
dim,
And the little one drew to his knee,
Santa's here, little girl; you will hive him
to bring
Books. toys, dolls, and dresses, and many
thing,
That will make you run over with glee.
He will take you i'll charge ono, two,
three, four and five,
mn" b""iN yOut Weii bcinB Will chTe
You will fill up the hcart-too long empty
and lone,
A treasure as precious as once it had
known,
A l!critage, priceless and rare.
Santa drove out that night, with his car
ringe weighed down,
With n cargo of value untold.
He'd make sad hearts gay, and bright eyes
more bright,
And bless hearth and home. with warmth
and with light,
BY the generous use of his gold.
And two homes were bright with tho blnz-
ing ynle fire
And the comfort and warmth of good
cheer
And Santa grew young for the good he
had done;
1t was to his reverend head. as crown
or glory, for many year.

He Got Away.

The tall, aged, sad looking man ate
bountiful dinner at the restaurant, and
then with a check calling for rs cents made
his way to the cashiers desk. He banged
down the check with battered silver dol
lar and looked sadder than ever.
The cashier picked up the dollar and ex-
amined it suspiciously. 1t had a deep dent
on one side, and looked as though it had
been plugged At that moment the GUS
toner spoke: st is very painful for me to
part with that dollar. 1t saved my life
once, however, and must do so again. At
the siege of Vicksburg carried it in my
vest pocket, and the dent you see there was
made by bullet which otherwise would
have killed me. have kept it since as a
memorial, and it well nigh breaks my
heart to let it go, but must-I have moth
ing else"
The cashier was plainly interested. SIN
what year was the siege of Vicksburgf" he
asked.
''Sixty-three," said the sad man prompt
ly.
"And this dollar" returned the cashier
sis dated 1877 and is counterfeit"
The sad man looked annoyed. "Ofcourse
it is" he replied "How could have an
1877 dollar in 1868 if 1t wasn't counter
feit?"
And the cashier was so dumfounded that
he passed out quarter in change and al
lowed the sad man to escape-Harper's

is large in quantity. Thirty hours is the
length of time mentioned as making tho
trip from New York to Chicago. No
stop over checks will be allowed. No
sleeping cars will be provided, no parlor
cars, no chair cars. The jolly excursion

about the day coach as the result of a

30 hours, with no opportunity to stop off

No provision is made for extending the
time to persons for whom the joys of the
excursion have been too poignant and
who may be required to spend two or
three weeks in the hospitals recovering
from the delirium of insomnia or the ty-
phoid fever which they have picked up
in the holiday coach.-Chicago Herald.
