President Cleveland, all his cab
met Speaker Crisp and most OF t.
mela5erS Of Congress- will return tt
Washipgioq this week, nreparea t'
grapple with chg. most serious con-
dition Of affairs tits counary ha'
bnown.fQr years, and that democrat
ie craftsmanship and wisdom will
linda, way out that will be safe, il
It does not at first meet with, the az
progal of everybody, is as certain al
that Congress wili;meet next Mon
day.. it is. particularly NOTICEABLE
that this is the predominating sen
timent among democratic Congress
men already in Washington. How
ever wide apart they may new be
they are ali, certain that some way
will be found for getting together
In the end.
Among the compromises already
suggested is one that appears to be
rapidly gaming. grean@ Il is to
simply repeal that clause of the
Sherman, law which compels the
purchase of 100000 ounces of siF-
yer bullion a, month by the Treas
ury, or to merely adopt an amend
ment to the law authorizing. the
purchase Of silver to be made or
not made in, the discretion Of the
President, and to let it go at that
Cor few months, in order to de-
termine what other silver legisla-
ton may he.aecessary. A number
of democrats who favor the free
coinage Of silver have announced
their Willingness to support this
compromise at the extra, session
leaving. the. question Of further; sill
yer legislation to be determined at
the regular session. There aye not
enoug memb ers Of Congress yet in
Washington to hazarda prediction
as to even the probability Of the aP77
option, of this compromise, and they
prefer awaiting the reeomaenda-I
lions to be made by the President
before pitting themselyed.

Am old gray haired man about
sixty-fve or seventy years of age
came in from the West last even
Fling, and. while the train: was stopp-
ed he got off here. The train start
ed before the old man could get a.
board and he,left, going down the
road, and: he was seen by several
parties who spoke to him, but re-
ceived unintelligible answers.
Near the red bridge abont, three
miles out, a freight train struck the
man and knocked him down the
embankment, where he struck a
telegraph pole. The injured man
was picked up and taken to Jen-
ning's lotel,. where it was found
that he was fatally hurt. His left
arm was broken in two places, sew
eral ribs were crushed and his nose
was broken. Among the papers
and memorandums found on his
person, were a ticket to Chicago
and charity ticket made out in
the name Of benjamin. Herold,
from indianapolis, an order for
small sum of money from the May
or of Pocahontas, The following
notes were found on his person:
"Grafton, w. Va, August 1, 1892
sWhereas. Benjamin. Herold has
this day given me a note for $500
payable upon the performance of
certain services, { hereby agree to
give the said Herold from one two

BREAKFAST BUDGET.

An evangelist who is holding largely
attended meetings in Minneapolis
doesn't want mothers debarred from
attending his meetings, and doesn't
want the meetings disturbed by crying
babies SO he has hit on the expedient
OF providing nursery for their accomo-
dalton. Mothers can leaye their little
ones at the check-room and get aregu-
lar check for them, as for hat or UNI
brella, and the ushers pass them over
to trained nurses, who are in attend-
ance, to take care Of them until called
for.
Nine Carpan, French woman who
died recently lacking five days OF being

from the field Of battle.

PERSONAL POINTS.

Ex.Congressman Cox, Of North Curo-
lima, who 1t is expected will succeed
General McCook as secretary OF the
United States senate, is the best type OF
the southern gentleman. His con-
stituents put him out OF congress, for it
was their belief that tho Democrat who
talked about civil service reform spoke,
as the saying is, through his hat. !"
General McCook speaks OF him in the
highest terms.
At a recent examination in the Uni
versity OF Berlin, student named Max
Meyer, OF the age OF twenty-seven, pro-
pounded such an excellent thesis on
the difFerential calculus that the ex-
aminers ut once pronounced him
worthy OF special degree as doctor,
The point Of the story lies in the fact
that Max Meyer is blind and has
learned to read by touch alone.
Senator Faulkner has returned to
Washington City, accompanied by his
mother, who has reached the age OF
seventy.eight. She was noted beauty
ut the court Of Eugene previous to the
breaking out OF the rebellion, at which
date her husband was minister to
France. Mrs. Faulkner is now visiting
friends in Baltimore.

Pooling tho EXPERTS.

DR.. Buchanan, on trial in New York
for the murder OF his wife with poison,
is very fortunate in the blunders Of the
prosecution. With the aid OF medical
experts the state is trying to forge a
chain OF circunstantial evidence that
shall send Buchanan to the electrical
chair.
Ono OF the experts was made to dis
agree with others OF the experts and
with authorities which he admitted to
be good. Now two more experts have
been fooled into denouuciug as more
caricatureP q real human brain which
they thought was wax model.
1t is more than q good joke on the
doctors; it is great good fortune for
Buchanan, who is fairly entitled to it If
he be innocent, and Is in luck anyhow.
A sane jury will hardly convict on the
testimony OF experts SO iuexpert.
The incident may also help Carlisle
Harris, whose case is before the COVER
nor, and who was convicted on circum.
stantial evidence Of poisoning his wife
to death.

Says tho New York Sun: "Tho Demo-
cratic party is pledged to blot the pro.
tectivO system out, and the Democratic
party is the party which keeps its
pledges. Don't forget that" This is
earcasm OF the most sarcastic kind.
The Sun calls itself Democrat, but 1t
is for protection every time and has
fun with ito party on tho tariE question.
Before Mr.. Cleveland was nominated
tho last time tho Sun had a heap Of fun
with him. Mr.. Cleveland was the Suns

End OF enc street car strIkO.

hHu u Eho GtEGSb S0E NPhAAANSs
The ending oil the street car strike
has been foreseen by every careful OBJ
server Of the course OF events. The
company Is to reinstate in its service as
many Of the strikers as it desires to take
back and no more. The rest will have
to look elsewhere for employment.
After tho loss to the men and the
company; after nil tho inconvenience
to those who have yielded to the
boycott command; after tho riotous
demonstrations which have given tho
community bad fame, led to prosecu'
tons and convictions and may lead to
more; after great interference with
buSineIs in general; after dividing
Wheeling and its surroundings into two
hostile camps, this is what it comes to.
The strikers lose and surrender. They
are not open to reproach for surrender
ing, for this is tho wisest thing they
have done since they unwisely went
out and declined to submit to arbitra'
tion all the points OF difference between
them and the company.
Tbcyhave not had the public sympa'
thy, they have not had the sympathy
Of union working mon generally, for the
reauon that they were thought to have
struck without sufficient provocation,
and for tho further reason that they
were not known to havo discouraged
the assaults and destruction Of property
in their interest.
The end OF this unfortunate business
is another reminder that strikes, when
undertaken at all, should be gone into
only under strong provocation and after
calm, mature elaboration, and should
DO carried on with due regard to the
rights of all concerned and with that
respect for the law which is the duty Of
every good citizen.

Tame But Effective.


Hill, Murphy, Sheehan and Croker
are represented to have decided on a
programme based on the sublime idea
OF letting the President severely alone.
Hill and Murphy will not attack him
in tho senate, or put banana skins on
the White House steps. If he chooses
to give some good things to their friends
all right If he chooses to overlook their
taiends, they will try to get along.
The ono thing they intend to do is to
hold fast to the power they have at
home. They will take good care that
tho President and his anti.snap friends
neither control the machine nor inter
fere with its effectiveness. The machine
means moro offices and more power in
New York than tho President can posi-.
bly, command there without their as
sistance, and this is something he will
have to bid high for.
This Is not at all dramatic play bill.
