The Voorhees, Silver Bill.

'hS VOORHEES, SiiSSi Slil.
If the Sherman act was makeshift.
as the Democratic platform declared,
certainly the bill introduced by SEN
ator Voorhees, will prove, il enacted,
a delusion aud snare. As outlined
IN the dispatches it appears to be a
weak and hating measure.
The plan is to set the mints at work
to coin the bullion in the Treasury
known as the seignorage silver-the
accumulated profit on past coinage
at the rate of s., 10000 per month.
There is some $50, 900, 000ofthis sto *.
1t would therefore take about two
years to complete the work The bill
then provides that when the selgnor-
age bullion is coined that the Treas
ury shall purchase silver for coinage
to the extent 100000 per month.
This is practically a return of the
BlandAllison act
Mr. Voorhees, further proposes to
retire small notes and small gold so
as to force the silver dollars into
actual circulation, a measure entire
ly unnecessary and indeed inadvis-
able If the people of the East pre-
fer to handle silver notes instead of
the coin there can be no sound reas-
on for prohibiting that form of cur
rency.
And there is also in the bill the
usual proposition to appoint commits
sioners to aninternational conference
There can be no harm in thus holding
out the belief that an international
agreement can be obtained, but if the
United States is TO accomplish any
thing in that direction the commits
sioners should be Instructed that our
Government will consent to nothing
short of return to bimetallism. We
might take a lesson from England in
this regard.
But aside from the international
conference proposition, it is perfectly
clear that this bill will not advance
the cause of bimetallism in the least.
On the contrary, it will only tend to
defer the return to sound and ra-
tional monetary system. 1t will not
benefit the silver producing interests,
because, under the bill, there can be
no purchases of silver for coinage for
more than year Ia word, the bill
is not in the interest of free coinage
and ought not to pass. We have had
enough of patchwork. The world is
now in the midst of a commercial and
industrial crisis, produced by the at
tempt to force the nations TO the gold
standard. The depression attending
this crisis has produced great distress
and will perhaps cause much more.
But for the commercial and industrial
welfare of the world it is better now
that the fight, the inevitable struggle
between monmetalism and bimetal-
ism as contending monetary systems,
should be fought to a finish Half
hearted measures for temporary re-
relief such as that proposed by Mr..
Voorhees,, who poses as a friend of
free coinage, will only serve, as we
say, to postpone the conflict which
must come The sooner now, the
better. And we confidently believe
that the struggle will end in the full
restoration of silver as money met
ALTO the re. establishment through
out the world of bimetallic system.

A Remarkable statue.

Some years ago melodrama was be
ing performed in country theater, the
chief actor in which had made himself
from his naughty and overbearing con
duct, disliked by all. In the last scene
he was supposed to visit the tombs of his
ancestors. In the center of the stage
upon a marble pedestal stood the status
of his father. A heavy fold of drapery
covered the figure. Enter Albert, who
thus addressed the statue:
lam here once again to gaze upoL
those features which in life so often
looked on me with tenderest affection.
Father, thy mourning son now comes to
pay thee alteration. Let mo remove the
veil which from the vulgar gaze shields
the beloved image of a once dear parent"
OFF went the drapery and. behold! the
father stood upon his headl The effect
cannot be described. 1t was electric
The shouts of laughter which followed
the mistake of the super effectually put
an end TO the scene, which changed TO
the next as quickly as possible, amid the
jeers of the audience, the anger of the
manager and the uncomfortable rage Of
the actor.-London Tit-Bits.

English Field sports.

The matter of wire fencing and the
kindred difficulty of dealing with i'm.
mense fields of horsemen are so often
thrashed out in the papers devoted to
field sports that it is not necessary to
enter into them here. Masters of hounds
are now willing to pay for taking up
wire before the hunting season begins,
and TO put it down again in the spring.
The difficulties caused by large fields
will have somehow to be overcome.
either by ceasing to advertise meets or
by making 1t understood (how, perhaps,
it is not very easy TO say that those who
come out will have to pay for their
sport, an idea which, while it is cam-
monty acted upon by residents, is often
overlooked by visitors.
Field sports in the British islands are
for the most part artificial, but hunting
is entirely so. If it was not for the ten
der care which. in England at any rate,
is taken of the fox, he would soon become
as extinct as the wolf. Coverts are plant
ed for him on dry sunny hillsides; his
breed is improved by judicious crossing
with strangers from the north, and in a
good hunting country keepers are sup
posed at any rate to look after his com
fort and to consider him almost as much
belonging to their family as do their
pheasants. In district which is suita-
ble in every way for game, but which is
not preserved, ii is always exceedingly
scarce.-Macmillan's Magazine.

Pardon nntfnnteh NV nen,h

One days delay in a pardon cost the
life OF John Young, a mulatto 30 years
old, under seven years sentence for
stealing hog. He had strenuously pro-
tested his innocence for three years, and
when Governor Holt went out Of Office
in January without granting the pardon
Young gave up all hope. and Monday he
made dash for liberty and was shot
down by the guard, receiving a mortal
wound.
Almost the next mail brought par
don for him. The captain Of the guard
went 70 the poor fellows cot and show
ing him the paper said, John, here is
your pardon that Governor Carr has
sent you"
John took the pardon, looked at the
great gilt seal of the state and murmur-
Ing; why didn't it come yesterday 1t
is too late now," gasped and ied.-Car-

Abraham,aArk.

Abraham Martin, an old colored man
living In Atchison, Kan, believes that
there Is going TO be another food. He
claims to have had a revelation IN q
dream, in which he was instructed to
prepare an ark like Noah's Of old. The
size OF the ark was designated In the
dream, and although the quarters are
too small for the elephants and giraftes
the old man has confidence that the Lord
will squeeze them inside in some way.
Martin has figured 1t out by the Bible
that the food will come next August.
He expects the menagerie, however, 70
begin arriving in June, when animals,
fowls, etc, will present themselves at the
ark in pairs. The old colored man be-
lieves implicitly in the revelations" he
has had and has moved his family into
the ark.
"The Lord wants the earth peopled en-
tirely with black men, he said recently,
land no white people viii be taken on
the boat. Only few very black negroes
viii be admitted"
The ark is built Of old pieces of boards
picked up about town. Martin has been
over year building the craft.-Cor. st.

Speaking of the responsibility for the
death of Henry Myer, the engineer killed
at Harvey's Station, ON the Panhandle
road, Mr.. Spaan, his attorney, said:
''Myer was worked 10 his death. When
he arrived at Bradford Junction. the
foreman told him he would have 20 10
out in an hour again. But he protest
ed, i can't go out have been on duty

means 80 days if you don't GO Tho
prospect of a 80 days layoff induced
Myer 10 obey the cruel order. He ate a
few crackers and turkey leg and re-
turned 10 his engine, his fireman being
with him. AT Harvey's Station, just as
soon as the engine stopped on the side
track, both Myer aud the fireman fell
asleep. They We're aroused by the pass
ing of one section Of n train. and in their
half asleep condition pulled out on the

present law no liability upon the part
of the railroad company. Our laws are

the idea that something might probably
be wrong about the mill, as Rover often
visited them there during the day and
was well acquainted with the premises.

and found the dog ready to lead toward

that city, who was to read a paper before
literary society, got a doctor TO hypno-
tie her so that she shouldn't become rat
