cleaning. The floors have been
painted, the chairs bronZed and
painted, both front and back, and the
balcony and supports have been
painted white and gold. New car
pet has been put in the aisles and
new mating on the stairs. Not only
has the parquet and balcony been
painted and cleaned generally, but
also the dressing rooms. property
rooms, and back hall have undergone
q course Of kalsomining, and new pa
per and carpet on each under the
stage.
Manager Montrose, to whose enter
prise and public spirit these improve
ments are due. is highly elated over
the success of his stage manager in
making them, and considering the
contrast with former appearances,
he well may be.

Had to Discipline Him.

account of little touch of military
discipline inflicted upon one of the
Moline militia boys at Camp Altgeld:
The only case of violation of dis
cipline occurred last evening at sup

regiment of Moline was ready for
mess when it was discovered that
Private Austin Hussey was absent
A brief survey of the camp ground
disclosed Mr.. Hussey attentively en-
gagged in conversation with a Young
lady some thousand PAGES distant.
Sergt. Crowder was dispatched
to bring Hussey to feed,
but the latter started brisklv
away with the young lady on his
arm. He said he didn't like the food
very well. anyway. and he would
show up in time for guard duty. sac
riticing his supper for the society of
the Young lady. 1t was evident that
more heroic measures would have to
be adopted, hence Sergt. Gould, Cor
poral Hodge end Private Ohrn were
sent armed after the refractory hus-
sey. The Bloomington girl saw them
coming and counseled flight.
The chase was short, however. for
the fugitive was soon surrounded
and brought to supper at the bayo-
nets point,
The food in the big tent is reported
good. although few have already

WHY THE DELAY.
The Senate Seeks Information as to the
Government Building status.

government ding status.
Relating to the delay in public
building improvements throughout
the country, Senator Chandler. of
New Hampshire, has introduced the
following resolution in the United
States senate:
Resolved. That the secretary of
the treasury be directed to inform
the senate rs to the condition of the
various appropriations for the cree
ton of public buildings; stating what
are the gross sums uncXpendcd of
appropriations made and of authoriz-
atiOns of final cost conferred by eX-
listing law; what buildings are not
begun, and what preparations have
been made for beginning them; and
whether or not any delay in the be-
ginning is occasioned by the non
preparation of the plans and designs,
and if so. what action he is taking,
and what legislation, if any. he
recommends in order to expediate
the preparation ofplans and designs.
The Evil
1t is to be hoped that this will be
effective in pushing the work with
greater vigor than has been the case
1t is said that the supervising archi-
tect ascribes the delay in his depart
ment to the fact that he is handicap
ped by the lack of sufficient help to
prepare the plans and designs of the
buildings. If this be true, congress
should take steps to remedy the evil.
and at once.

FoR the next few weeks the attention
OF the whole country will be turned to-
wards Washington, and every move
made on the financial checkerboard will
be watched with interest. Party lines
will not cut much of a figure in the con.
test between the silver men and their
opponents. The hopes OF the silver men
grow stronger every day, and it now
seems certain that they will at least BE-
able to prevent the repeal OF the Sher
man law unless substitute equally ia
yorable to silver is agreed upon. There
is some talk OF a compromise free coin
age bill, on ali increased ratio, although
it is too early in the session to form an
opinion as to the outcome. The New

tors as in favor OF the unconditional re-
peal OF the law, "a opposed, and twenty

reason to feel encouraged when such a

THERE is nothing remarkable about
the presidents message. unless it is his
intimation that it is dangerous to tinker
with the tariff Law while the present
financial condition exists. That part oil
the message which deals with the silver
question is simply a reiteration of his
previous declarations that the Sherman
law must be repealed and single gold
standard established. He allies himself
with the Shylocks OF Wall street, and
asks Congress to pass such legislation
that the rich may become richer while
the poor become poorer. He ignores the
platform of his party and jus,ifes his
position by asserting that silver is driv-
ing gold from the country; but his state
ments are not founded on fact. Instead
OF being exported gold is being imported
in large quantities. The message is a
plea for the gold-bugs as against the
masses

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.
IL Wants the sherman Law Revealed.


The following are the essential point:
Of President Cleveland's message to Con
gress on the financial situation:
ITO the Congress OF the United States
The existence OF an alarming and ex.
traordinary business situation, involv
ing the welfare and prosperity OF all oul
people, has constrained NE TO call to
gether in extra session the peoples rep
resentatives in congress, to the end that
through wise and patriotic exercise o.
the legislative duty with which they are
solely charged, the present Evils may bs
mitigated and the dangers threatening
the future may be avoided.
"Our unfortunate financial plight i:
not the result OF untoward circumstan
ces nor OF conditions related to our nat
ural resources, nor is it traceable to any
OF the Affections which frequently check
national growth and prosperity. With
plenteous crops, with abundant promise
OF remunerative production and manu-
features, with unusual invitation to safe
investment and satisfactory assurance
to business enterprise, suddenly fnan-
cial distrust and fear have sprung Up On
every side. Numerous money institu-
tons have suspended because abundant
assets were not Immediately available to
meet the demands OF the frightened de-
positors.
II believe that these things are prin-
cipally chargeable to Congressional leg
islation touching the purchase and coin
age OF silver by the general government.
This legislation is err bodied in the stat.
ute passed Euly IA, 1890, which vas the
elimination OF much agitation on the
subject involved. and which may he con-
sidered as truce after a long struggle
between the advocates OF free silver
coinage and those intending to be more
conservative.
Undoubtedly the immediate pur-
chase. by the government Of $500 600
ounces of silver monthly-forced, under |
that statute-was regarded by those in
terested in silver production as certain
guarantee OF its increase in price. The /
result, however, has been entirely differ
ent; for, Immediately following the
spasm OF slight rise in price, silver be-
gan to fall after the passage OF this act,
and has since reached the lowest point
ever known.
This disappointing result has led to
renewed and persistent effort in the
direction OF free silver coinage. Mean
while, not only are the evil effects Of the
operation OF the present law constantly
accumulating, but the result to which
its execution must inevitably lead is be- ,
coming palpable to all who give the least ,
heed to financial subjects.
This law provides that, in payment ,
|or 100000 ounces of silver bullion q
which tho secretary of the treasury is :
