Hon. Jno. G.. Carlisle, Secretary

Hon. Jno. G.. Carlisle, Secretary
of the Treasury, has this to say up
on the coinage question:: Il am
opposed to free coinage of gold or
silver, but III favor of unlimited
coinage of both metals upon terms
of exact equality. No discrimina-
tion should be made in favor of one
against the other, nor should any
discrimination be made in favor of
the holders of either gold or silver
bullion, as against the great body
of people who own other kinds of
property. I believe that gold and
silver bullion should be treated
exactly alike in the miuts of the
United States, and that is dollar g
worth of gold should be coined into
gold dollar and dollars worth
of silver should be coined into a sill
yer dollar, and if charge is made for
the coinage of one then charge
should be made for coinage of the
| other"

Congressman DeArmond Among His
Constituents.

Congressman DeArmond Among His
Constituents.
Henry Co. Democrat.
Hon. d. 4. DeArmond, who has |
been making a brief visit to Clinton,
left to day "Wednesday for home. |
He looks to be in vigorous health,
and if an early session Of congress
is called, will be in good trim for
business. The Judge is not satisfied
with the slow manner in which
changes in postoffices are being
made. In the seven counties, Bates,
Henry, Cass, Cedar, Johnson, Dade,
st Clair, composing this congress
sional district, about thirty changes
have been made in postoffices of the
fourth class-that is. all below ST..
900 yearly income-which officers
are appointed by the Fourth Assist
ant Postmaster General. These
were resigning rapidly, anticipating
removal, but have suddenly ceased
to do SO. the fear of removal seem
ingiy having vanish from their minds.
This class of officers are commission
ed for no specified length of time,
while presidential offices-embrac-
ing all of $1,000 salary or more
are commissioned for four years;
and of the dozen offices of this class
only one change has been made in
this district-at Greenfield. There
are a number of cases before the de-
partment at Washington similar to
the Clinton Office, where republican
postmasters were commissioned lust
before the Harrison administration
was going out, aud they seem to
be hanging fire, with no particular en-
couragement FROM Postmaster Gen
eral Bissell. He is pressing these
matters as much as he possibly can.
Judge DeArmond thinks indica-
tions point to an early session of
congress, probably i'll September.
1t has been his belief from the first
which he outlined in a letter to
the Republic in November last
that congress should have been con-
vened Immediately after the inaugu-
ration of President Cleveland. He
thinks there will be no opposition
to the reelection Of Judge Crisp to
the speakership. He thinks strong
efforts will be made to repeal the
Sherman silver law, and is in favor
of putting in its place law for the
free and unlimited coinage CT silver.
1t is also expected at the next ses.
sion of congress the tariff will be
materially lowered, with the result
of giving our farmers additional
markets and better prices while
cheapening the necessaries of life to
the consumer.
He believes, with Mr.. Cleveland
in graduated income tax, as one oi
the best and fairest means of raising
additional needed revenue, and in.
troduced bill in the last congress-
to raise i'll that way a sum equal te
the amount of the annual expendi
lures for pensions.
Our representative in congress-
has made record that few men car
attain in such brief time, and bids
fair to become one of the leaders oi
that great body. He is in thorough
sympathy with the legislation sc
much needed and desired by the
West and South.

A well-founded rumor has it that
Mr.. Bissell has found 1T advisable to
recede from his rule regarding

FOREIGN.

The British battleship Victoria, flag
ship of the Mediterranean squadron, col
Tide with the British warship Camper
down while manGuvering off Tripoli,
Syria, Thursday, short dis iance from
the island of Cyprus. The Victoria had
an enormous hole made in her side,
through which the water poured in tor
rents. The hull quickly began to settle,
and before those on board could cast
loose their small boats the big ship went
down to the bottom, carrying down
with her not less than 400 of the officers
and crew. Among the lost is Vice-Ad-
miral Tyron, commander of the Victoria.
The Victoria was twin-screw vessel of
1910 tons buredn and II 900 horse pow
err. She mounted 10 guns. The Camp
eidown is also a first-class twin-screw
battleship of 10000 tons burden and car
ries ten guns. About ten minutes after
the blow the Victoria all at. once leaned
, over to starboard, and with a great roll
and plunge buried her bow beneath the
water. 1t was almost instantaneous.
There was only chance for a few wild
cries and the Victoria was almost half
submerged, bow foremost. 1t is thought
that more than half of those lost got out
of the ship, but were caught in the vortex
or scalded to death by the boiling water
from the exploded boilers. The latest
reports give the number of lost as 400.

AFFAIRS AT WASHINGTON.

Surgeon General Wyman of the marine
hospital service, referring to the outlook
for cholera in the United States during
the present summer, says: 1--WE have
an even chance of escaping the cholera
altogether this year. Should it arrive it
will certainly not become epidemic. Its
non-appearance thus far proves that no
germs have lived over the winter in this
country, as it was feared might happen.
The prospect now is much better than
expected it would be at this time.
However, it should not be forgotten that
the disease did not reach the United
States last year until August. There is
plenty of time for trouble yet"
