Caring tor the Unemplo yed.

1t is a happy coincidence that the Of
fcials of the Charity Organization Soci-
ETY. should be in conference with the
Police Department in an effort to pro-
vide useful employment for the idle al
most at the same hour in which the City
Council was considering a resolution to
instruct the heads of departments in the
city government to make as many places
for laborers during the winter months
as possible.
The question of finding employment
for thousands of unemployed people in
our city is a pressing and perplexing one.
Looked at from the standpoint of the
charitable organizations, it is all import
ant that something should be done to
relieve the burden of want which rests.
heavily upon the poor in all parts of Bal
timore
But when all has been done by the
municipality,and charitably inclined per
SONS toward giving men honest employ
ment, there will still be vast aggrega-
ton of tramps and Migrants infesting the
station houses, soup-kitchens and other
places where food is dispensed. The time
has come when it is necessary to intro
duce some measures of relief in order to
make room tor the increasing throng in
the station, houses. This is the problem
WHICH Tie CIidTlty ofSdulLdllOu society
and the Police Commissioners have I'M
der consideration. 1t will finally be solved
by providing certain classes of work and
giving those who are willing to labor an
opportunity to do SO, and compelling
those who are not to earn the price of a

This same spirit should be manifested
by those in authority in every commupi,
tY. There is always certain number
of persons who live from hand to
mouth" and if they are unable to OBJ
tain employment, suffer for the bare
necessaries of life. 1t is far better to
give sych work, than to have them pro-
vided for at the County's expense.
Politics is good enough in its place,
but it should not have first place all the
time.-H uston Post.

ElEIY-1HIRp CONGRESS.

The sharp rap of the gavel on the
Speakers desk at one minute after IL
o'clock Monday announced the fact that
the first regular session Of the SD Con
gress was about to begin it's labors.
For the first time in many years the
preliminaries Indispensable to the good
government of the House and to the
satisfactory transaction of it's business
were dispensed with There was no
Speaker or other officer to elect, no
wounds to pride or vanity to rankle in
the breasts of members over non as
sigument to the committee of their
choice or failure to secure chairmanships
no ill-concealed vocation and chagrin
at the raillery and badinage that is a
feature of seat drawing. Nothing disa-
greeable or unpleasant. All of the ar
rangements necessary to the transaction
of the routine business of the House
were completed months ago at the be-
ginning of the extraordinary session and
the first regular.session of the SD Con-
gress was able to get down to business
at once and resume work where the ex-
ira session left off.

Proposed Newspaper Consolidation.

Negotiations are now pending looking
to the consolidation of the two papers
published in this city. The new publi>
cation will likely date from Jan. /, 1894,
and will be known at the Re0ieaO- Var-
gilman. By this proposed change it is
thought that a paying business may be
established, and that the Stockholders
of both Companies will be enabled to
realize something from their investment.
The unexpired subscriptions to the VIR-
GINIAN will be made good by the new
organization, and all advertising con-
tracts kept in accordance with the terms
therein specified. Should this consoli-
dation take place, all accounts due the
VIRaINIAN up to the date of said con-
solidation, are payable to d. 8. EICHEL-

The Great French Composer Passed Away
Yesterday
Paris, Oct. 1S.-Gounod, the COM

charles Francis Gounod was born in
Paris. June II, 1918. He was student
of Haleyy. Leseur and Paer. He OBJ
tanned the first prize from the Conser-
vatoire in 1899, and went to Rome to
complete his musical education; while
there he devoted himself chiefly to re-
ligious music. Returning to Paris, he
was for time attached to the church
of the Mission Etrangeres, where his
earliest compositions were performed,
one of which, Messe Solenelle, was
the first work that brought him into
general notice. His first opera, Sap
pho" was produced in 1851, and his
second, ia Noune Sanglante," in 1854
His comic opera, lie Medicin Malgre
LUZ produced in 1858, was a great sue
cess, and this was followed by
Faust" which at once attained Eu-
ropean popularity, and brought it's
composer to the front ronk of contem-
poraneous musicians. Then followed
his philemon ct Baueis,' La RENE

liet." and in 1881, lie Tribute de Te-

church music, and was extensively
popular as a song writer. His oratorio

TRYING To EVOLVE

A Scheme to Settle the Existing
Differences.
THE DEMOCRATS AT WORK
Repeal Advocates, However, Block the
Way.
II the Silver aud Compromise Men Join
Issues, They VIII Have Enough
Votes to Garry ANY
Measure Through.

Washington, Oct. 18.-The Democrat
ic steering committee of the Senate
have been in session the greater part
of the day, trying tc devise a scheme
for the settlement of the differences ex-
listing on the financial question on that
side of the chamber and appearances at
the close of the day indicated that pro-
gress had been made.
It is asserted the committee has pro-
gressed far enough to prepare rough
draft of a bill which is to be submitted
to the Senate as soon as a majority of
the senators can be consulted upon its
merits The members of the committee
refused to confirm the report, as did
also those with whom they consulted.
A story afloat also asserted the bill
which is to be submitted would simply
provide for an extension of the present
law for one year from the first of next
July. One great obstacle which appar-
entity stands in the way of progress is
The attitude of the repeal advocates.
1t is stated an effort is being made to
bring these members to see the import
ance of a settlement of the question
and the scheme to bring about party
cessful and the Republican senators be
asked to join the Democrats. so as to
make a majority of the Senate.
The Democratic conference for the
present has given way to a consulta-
ton of senators individually, and it
viii not be decided upon until late in
the week, if at ALL
At a di discussion of the situation this
afternoon, Senator Pettigrew said:
The Democrats as a party cannot
agree, nor can the Republicans as a
party. There are eighteen senator's
Republicans, Democrats and Populists
against repeal, and eight counted
with repealers which are anxious for
compromise. When either of these
parties can agree upon a measure, the
silver and compromise men would get
together and frame a bill which would
go through, because they would have
the votes to put it through.

Excellent Democratic Nomina-

Resolutions FavOring Immediate State

The Liberal Party Is Fast Melting Away,
Each Day Marking a Dim1nui-

Dull Thud.

Ogden, Utah, Oct. 1S-(Special)-
The Democratic party of Ogden City
and Weber county this afternoon and
tonight fired whole proadside into
the ranks of the opposition by their
nominations for the council and the
house of representatives of the COM
ing legislature.
Ransford Smith, that old Demo-
cratic war horse, was named for the
council and John N. Perkins and NJ.
S. Browning for the house of represent
tatives, while George F. Hunter, Of
West Weber. was nominated by the
county delegates from the precincts
outside of Ogden city for the house
The county convention was held this
afternoon in the county court house,
while the city convention convened in
the city hall tonight.
Both were extremely enthusiastic
and marked by very harmonious ac-
ton on the part of the delegates.
The convention tonight adopted reso-
buttons favoring immediate statehood
for Utah aud free and unlimited COIN
age of silver; approving and reaffirm-
ing the doctrines of Democracy as de-
clared by the last national Democratic
convention, and declaring against pro
lection which does not protect, and
the taking of money out of the pockets
of the people by means of taxation for
the benefit of special classes.
Strong resolutions of a similar ma
ture were adopted by the county con-
vention. Mosiah Hall has been nomi-
mated for the office of superintendent
of county schools.
Campaigning is now becoming very
warm, and every party is preparing
for a hard struggle at the polls.
The Liberal party is fast melting
away and each day marks heavy di-
nutrition of the forces of that organi-
zation of the past. There are but
few prominent citizens remaining in
the party, and the indications point to
the almost entire disarmament before
the day of the election.
Last night a meeting of some twenty
members of the party was held, and
after sufficient courage had been
screwed up among them. resolutions.
were passed pledging those present to
what are termed the principles of the
Liberal party. 1t was decided, how
ever, to hold off the primaries until
after those of the other parties have
been held. They do not make any pre-
tentions of putting a legislative ticket
in the field, and they evidently think
they will have enough to attend to in
carrying on the city campaign They
will cut sorry figure.
