The Natioual Capital.

The city Of Washington is an object
Of perennial interest to all patriotic
Americans. Not alone because 1t is the
great throbiUg heart of the mightiest and
grandcst republic the earth has ever

pride in its beautiful avenues, ma jestiC
architecture, stately homes, and well
stored galleries and museums as things
of grandeur and beauty in themselves,
apart from the historic interest with
which they are invested. IT Is hope
and aspiration Of all "loung America,
at least, at some time or other to visit
the capital of his country.

silver Purchasing Clause.
WAsHINGToN, July 2i.-Acting Mint
Director Preston this afternoon in re-
sponse to his counter offer purchased
$4,000 ounces of silver at 60 3.jc per
ounce. There is no prospect of purchas-
ing the full quota of 100000 ounces Of
silver per month. Preston states that
the department, it it waits to purchase
the full quota this month. will not
make up the deficiency next month.
That is, if only 100000 ounces of silver
are purchased this month, the depart
ment will not purchase 2,0O00OO ounces
short this month and 100000 ounces
next month. the usual monthly pur-
chase. Each months purchase will
stand by itself and thus it may happen
that at the end of the year the aggre-
gate purchase instead of being $4,000,
600 ounces may be only half that amount.

MR. PILLsBUKY AND THE

Mr.. PIILsBURY. in his letter to the

wheat crop, is mistaken in supposing
the GLOBE desires to be critical.
1t is 10 the interest of every business
man and every resident of the state,
that means should be provided to move
the crop as rapidly as the farmers are
prepared to bring it to market. Mr..
PILLsBURY's assurance that elevator
men propose to handle the crop as fast
as it is offered is gratifying.
There is every reason why the ele-
vator aud mill men should pursue such
policy. The price is abnormally low
so low that there is no risk taken i'll

necessities are not pressing will not

celerity.

advance prices when the financial Strin-
gency is relieved. Owing to tue OPP
portunity offered for profitable specu-
lation resulting from purchasing wheat
at present prices, Mr.. PILLsBURY and
his associates may find less difficulty in
securing the means to make purchases
than they anticipate.
