that President Cleveland has as
surances which make him certain
that there will be no trouble in
passing a bill for the uncon-
ditional repeal of the Sherman
Silver law through both the house
and senate as soon as congress
gets to work. This is directly
contrary to what Senator Stewart
who made a canvass of the SEN
ate says. Can it be possible that
some of the senators have been
telling the president one thing
and Senator Stewart another?
Perhaps after all it is merely a
game of political brag all around.

cy, although there are good reas-
ons for believing there will be a
change should the present de-
mand for gold continue for any
length of time to be as great as
during the past week. While it
cannot be stated as a certainty
it is believed by some lawyers
that Secretary Carlisle has auth
ority under a section of the act
of March II, 1862, to issue legal
tender notes for the purpose of
purchasing gold. The cabinet is
said to think that this method if
it be legal would be preferable to
an issue of bonds. Those who
claim that the authority confer
red by the act mentioned still ex-
lists say that there is no limit
other than the secretary's discre-
ton to the amount of legal tender
notes that may be issued to pur-
chase gold. This method would
meet the approval of those who
think an increase in the amount
of money in circulation would be
advantageous, and it could not be
claimed by those who profess to
be in deadly fear of a deprecated
currency that there would be the
slightest danger in that direction,
as every dollar so issued would be
replaced in the treasury by gold
dollar, provided, of course, that
the gold could be obtained at
par. We doubt the existence of
the authority for the issue of legal
tender notes by the secretary of
the treasury.

THE annul meeting of the board
of lady regents of Mount Vernon
association, which was unusually
interesting this year, has just ad-
iourned. According to the an
nual report of the superintendent
81, 900 people visited the grounds
last year That number will be
quadrulped this year by reason of
the electric railway from Alexan-
dria to Mount Vernon grounds.
From each visitor the association
exacts IS cents for admission to
the grounds, and in addition, a
steam boat company has for many
years been monopolizing the right
to land at Mount Vernon wharf,
has paid nine cents for each pas
senger. This steamboat company
has grown rich out of visitors to
Mount Vernon, and until the
electric railway began to cut into
its traffic it charged ST for a
round trip Mount Vernon ticket,
while it sold round trip tickets
for a wharf on the Maryland side
of the Potomac, almost directly
opposite Mount Vernon, for only
IS cents. Now that the exclusive
wharf privileges are not so de-
sirable, this steamboat company
had the cheek to ask the lady
regents to excuse them from pay
ing that additional nine cents a
passenger during the remainder
of its contract The agitation
for the puchase of Mount Vernon
by the government, and its being
thrown open without charge to
all corners, seems to have tenn
porarily died out, but that it
will sooner or later be done is
the general belief. Surely it is
not just the proper thing to charge
an admission fee to the home of
George Washington, although I'M
der present conditions it is neces-
sary in order to raise money to
keep the grounds in condition and
the house in repair.

THERE is nothing the matter
with the treasury building, but
there is almost as much fright
among its employees as among
those who work in the unsafe
buildings, owing to the impress
sion they have that a reorganiza-
ton of the entire clerical force is
soon to be made. The reason
for this is an order of Secretary
Carlisle for a complete list of the
employees, with full particulars
as to when and how they came
into the service, what they do
etc., also a list of those having
relations in office.

other Republicans will be glad to
hear of the recovery. But the
wish was father to the thought.
The little finger of the Populist
of 1894 will be heavier than the
thigh of him of 1892. AS to
women, if the bosses think the
bankers and railroad clerks wives
of Kansas can get more women
voters for the Republicans than
the Populists can muster among
their wives and daughters, they're
making the mistake of lifetime.

INDIA is all agog over rain
maker, an Englishman, whose
apparatus consists of a rocket,
capable of rising to a height of a
mile, containing a reservoir of
ether. In its descent a para
chute-like attachment opens out,
causing the apparatus to descend
slowly. At the same time the
ether is thrown out in a fine
spray The absorption of heat
by the ether is said to lower the
temperature of the surrounding
air sufficiently to condense the
vapor, and hence cause rain.

WHEN the Kansas farmer loses

his shiftless habits and extrava-

due to stringency in the money

SECRETARY HoKE SMITH is now
hearing land case involving sew
eral million dollars worth of land
in the state of Washington, upon
which are some 1900 settlers.
The land in question is claimed by

has been such that it is altogether
probable tllat if there are any
doubts in the case he will give
the settlers the benefit of them.

A POOR EXCUSE.

Governor Mckinley is still say
ing that at the national election
of last November his tariff was so
young that the people had not
had time to understand it and to
see that it was a measure of the
greatest benefcence and philan-
thropy. At the meeting of the
Home Market club in Boston
Wednesday evening, he said:
"When defeat has come it has
usually followed some great pub
lie measure where sufficient time
had not elapsed to demonstrate
its wisdom and expediency That
has been true of all our defeats. "
That was the plea of the advo-
Gates of McKinleyism after the
overwhelming defeat of 1890, the
Mckinley bill having become a
law one month before the cleo
ton.
But when the election of 1902
took place the Mckinley tariff
was more than two years old.
Had there not been time enough
then for the American people to
arrive at a sound conclusion as to
the wisdom and expediency" of
the statute? The allowance of
time was ample, but the wis
dom and expedency were not
seen by great majority of vot-
ers, and never will be discovered
by them. Among those who
learned by sad experience that
those were deceived who saw
wisdom in the Mckinley bill was
the Ohio manufacturer whose
ruin was fastened by the increas-
ed cost of tin plate, and by whose
fall McKinley's own fortune was
swept away.-New York Times.

THE gold question is again very
much on top, the expectation of
gold having brought the reserve
fund below 500, 900, 600, and the
prospect being that a large amount
will be required to meet the de-
mands for the next week or ten
days. Great pressure is still be-
ing brought TO bear by the New
York bankers to compel an issue
of bonds, but it is having no ap-
parent effect. A special meeting
of the cabinet was held last week
to consider this question and it
was a very lengthy one No an
nouncement has been made, or is
likely to be made for some time
of any change in the present poll

A filter for removing grease, which
often passes into boilers with the feed
water, consists of metallic chamber OF
filter box i'll which are series of gratings
and between these gratings are placed
layers Of wire gauze and flannel of spe-
cial texture, which forms the filtering me
dunn. The feed water from the donkey
pump enters the filter box from one side,
passes upward through the filter cloths
and thence ont to the boiler, the scum
passing away through another outlet.
BY this means it is found that all grease
and greasy matter as well rs other i'm
purities, are arrested by the filter cloths,
Which can be readily taken out for clean
ing or renewal. The filter is equally APP
plicable to land and marine boilers

Raid OH Pensioners.

The great and only Hoke Smith, Sec
his raid on veterans of the late war who
draw pensions from the government, by
suspension of the pensions of thousands
of those who have received pensions
under the act of June u, 1890, known
as the dependent pension act, and the
pensioners are given 60 days to show
cause why their pensions should be
continued.
This action is pursuant to recent rul-
ing of Secretary Smith to the effect that
a pensioner under this act, drawing a
pension for total disability must be
shown to be physically incapable of
manual labor.
The testimony necessary to prevent
their being dropped from the rolls is
the certificate of Il reputable physician,
attested by two witnesses, to the effect
that the pensioner is precluded FROM ac-
tive labor owing to injuries or disability,
not the result of his own vicious habits.
In case no attention is paid to the De-
partment notification within sixty days.
the pensioner will be dropped from the
rolls. On the other hand, should the nee
essary certificate be forwarded to the
pension bureau, the pensioner will be
required to appear before the local board
OF medical examiners for examination as
to his condition.
Thus it appears these pensioners are
adiudged guilty on the start and their
pensions taken from them and restored
only upon evidence of total disability
which shall be satisfactory to pensioA
officials at Washington, who may fairly
be said, under the leadership of Hon.
Hoke. Smith of Georgia. to be prejudiced
against them.
President Cleveland himself is not a
very warm friend to veterans as his
numerous yetoes of pension bills amply
proves and his appointment of Southern
man as Secretary ofthe Interior, evident
ly for the purpose of reviewing pension
affairs, is corroborative of this theory.
Truly. disabled veterans are in the
hands of the Philistines.

This is midsummer and business is
usually dull this season of the year, but
according TO the Commercial Bulletin it
is duler than usual this year. The Bull
etin reports that the mills are not ouly
not receiving new orders for light
weights but are getting cancellations on
heavy weights, and there are days
when the cancellations exceed the or
ders. The cancellations are due to the
money stringency, the lack of new orders
to the tariff uncertainties. The num-
Der of mercantile failures continues to
run more than twice as large as year
ago, Bank clearings for June were
eight per cent. less than for the cores
poudng month of 1892. There is slight
Improvement in some sections and fur
ther Improvement is hoped for in the near
future. Iron and wool are the lines
most depressed and many iron and wool
en- mills have shut down, some for re-
pairs and some to wait for more favora-
Bile times.
