deserve no credit for their failure to
do SO. because the president under
the dictation of Wall and Lombard

they could to ruin this Nation, and
their failure is not due to goodness

There are indications of a revival
of business manifested in our city
during the past few days. For a
while, when the financial wave Of de-

business men become panicky. but as
time wore on a sober, second thought
brought our business men to their
senses, and with determination written
on their countenances they nerved
themselves for the worst. Shreye
2o,t has thus far braved the storm
with that old time heroism that pos
sessed their souls in the dark days of
long ago. We have gone right along;
our banks unlike those of larger CEN
ters of trade have not shut their doors
or limited depositors in checking ont
their deposits. Our merchants have
exercised unusual ability in meeting
their naper. The people have con-
tented themselves with buying ss

has gone right along. Our mechan-
les have had something to do. Many
new buildings-public and private
have been and are being completed.
Much repairing and new fronts in
business houses, all of which help the
mechanics and laboring men to stem
the heavy tide of hard times.

THE HOUSE UNTRUE, WHAT WILL The
The SENATE BE?

On Monday last, by vote of 226
to l24. the House of Congress, as far
as it was able, demonetized silver. 1t
did something else, it showed conciu
sively that it, or at least 226 members
of it. had no regard whatever for the
opinion of the people, less for their
general condition and still less for
American Independence.
An interesting spectacle too was
presented by this vote. 1t showed at
once fidelity, sevility and political
trickery The first, fidelity, is repre-
sented by the men who cast the ia
votes. One hundred of these were
Democrats who true to their constitu-
ents. faithful to their party doctrine
and platform, upheld by voice and
vote their party's honor, vainly trying
to redeem their party's pledges. The
remaining "a votes were equally di-
yided between Republicans and Pop
ulists, each of whom like every other
Representative of their party, were
elected on bi-metallic platform.
The second. sevility- represents
the liz Democrats who barred their
backs to Cleveland's lash, became
lackies to London and New York
bankers, repudiated their party's
principles and for the applause of
money changers and -Shylock specu-
lators and for a ratronizing smile
from an apostate president, cast aside
party fealty and tt. ned the interests
of thair constituent, over to then
most rnerciless enemies.
The third political trickery-of
course represents the Republicans.
".ThsTe is no demagoguery in making
this Geoiaration The fact is so pat
ent thst none but an uncharitable,
xrusting IDIOT would speak to the con-
trary. What was it but political
trickery that made 113 Republicans
follow Reeds leadership, and with
him east their votes for bill intro
duee4 by Democrat9 and permit
tkIs Democrat to be the leader OF
the force, favoring the bill? Know
ing that bi-metallism is Democratic
doctrine Reed and his party col
leagues threw their influence to the
traitorous Democrats to pass bll
demonetizing silver, knowing ,ha
that party having control OF tn.

not the one to which he was allied
1t twas a shrewd trick, but it wa
one which deserves the contempt o
every civilized nation, because it wa
like seeking an advantage by takin;
bread from starving mouths.
The House has proven itself uniru
to its trust, has become an apostat
to its party, broken faith with its con
,stituency, violated its sacred obliga
Sions and betrayed most sacre
trust. We say the House has don
all this, because the three partie

The Curse of NIilitarien.

Our Prague correspondent says that
the Bohemian deputies il the Austrian
parliamentary delegations continue
strongly to oppose the new military ez-
penditure required by the war depart
ment on behalf Of the triple alliance.
The figures the opposition gives arc sig
s1iticaat. From 1868 to 1853 the Austrian
army budget rose from GS, G99, $40 forms
to 1G7 }}74 ,e63 forms. During those years
{. .s33 Geo. OG0 forms have been expended
In the army. The navy and the landwehr
ere not included il this vast sum. The
occupation of Bosnia alone has cost the
empire since 1873 ,.lj.993.500 forms.
On the other hand, nothing is incurred
for works of peace. Not a mile Of q
navigable channel has been made. The
support Of primary schools. asylums,
road building, etc. rests entirely on the
shoulders of the provinces themselves.
Other figures are no less suggestive. In
the whole of Austria-Hungary there are
4,0GOCG0 paupers and 10000, eco persons
unable to worh-viz, children, old reo-
pie and cripples; 9,000,000 women and
hand workers earning no more than $50
forms year: 100000 workmen and
servants whose yearly income does not
exceed 800 forins, and only 1851 ,o60
persons getting from their work, trade
or capital more than eco forins. The
physical and moral condition Of the i'm
poverished population is deteriorating.

terested in the progressive practical sci~
ences and questions. He studied very
hard fer four years. did much more
work than any single term required
and graduated with the honors of his
class. I1e removed to New York and
entered into q successful practice Of civil
engineering.
''Some time later learned that he had
gone back to Lis native land. heard
no more Of this young man outside Of a.
few scientific articles in some European
magazines for nearly 10 years. While
making a tour of Europe | bethought
myself of linn and wondered why his.
brilliant parts had not long since brought
him into prominence. In Russia made
inquiries and there learned to my aston
ishment and sorrow that the student had
been suspected of treason, tried and SEN
fenced to Siberia, where lie had died In
