The Making of a Tough.

I have been watching boy who is GO
ing to grow up into thief and a rowdy,
and while watching him have had a
chance to see how gangs" are born,
and how rowdy life is developed in these
big cities that compose New York. I
suppose this little boy is IL or 10 years
old. He lis small of his age; wien.
faced, lirtle-eyed, stunted ratrrof a chile.
with leathery skin, and the complexion
of drumhead. He lives on route
along which I often walk between my
house and my Office, and my attention
was first called to him by an extraor-
binary act of violence that he committed
upon his mother. She ran screaming
out of her tenement apartments into the
street, with her apron up to her face and
a knot Of women trailing after her. She
screamed something about her need of
water and asgreat deal more about her
eyes and her fear that she was blinded
The women hustled her into the court
yard behind the barracks where she
lived, and began to deluge her face with
water from running hydrant.
Little by little it came out that her boy
Tommy had come home and demanded
tea cents that he might go to a dime
museum @wid de gang" She did not
have the money or did not propose to
give it to him, and he became angry,
and filling both hands with red pepper,
rubbed the stuff into both = her eyes be-
! fore she suspected what he was about or
could prevent the act. Tommy came
down while the women were doctoring
his mother and lurked at a distance, look
ing on.
Suspecting that he might not find
favor in their eyes should any of them
see him, Tommy armed himself with an
understood cobble stone. They did see
him, and brandished their great bare
arms at him, and called him choice lot
of names. He, in turn, exhibitedaahis bit
of paving stone menacingly, and re-
marked, "Lemme alone, or I'll split YOU
wild dis, see " An Irish cobbler took the
child, not very roughly, by the shoulder
and told him he was bad boy and
would never be satisfied till he found
himself in Jail. "A-a-ah, ratsin said the
little street urchin. IF de ole woman
don't do de square ting by me, I'll do
her up cold, and den dey kin take me to
hell if dey want to. Providence Jour

The effe. of tho New York electi on
upon the Hill crowd will be watched with
interest. They were entirely responsible
for the nomination of Maynard, who
proved such milestone about the neck
of the party, and the extent of his defeat
measures the extent of theirs. Maynard
can never get out from under the burden
of ballots that have been heaped upon
him. The remainder of his life will be
passed in obscurity. Will Hill, Sheehan,
Flower & Co. share the same fate, after
their present terms of office expire?. The
anti-snappers have certainly got them
down. Whether they can keep them
down remains to be seen,

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 10.
NATIONAL THANKSGIVING DAY.
Proclamation.
BY THE PRESIDENT.

"a ProcIanaat
While the American people should every day
remember with praise and thanksgiving the
divine goodness and mercy which have followed
them since their beginning as nation, it is fit
ting that one day in each year should be espe-
cially devoted to the contemplation OF the bless
ing we have received from the hand OF God,
and to the grateful acknowledgment of his low
ing kindness.
Therefore l. Grover Cleveland, President of
the United States, do hereby designate and set
apart Thursday the Both day OF the present
month of November, as a day OF thanksgiving
and praise, to be kept and observed by all the
people of our land.
On that day let us forego our ordinary work
and employments and assemble IN our usual
places of worship, where we may recall all that
God has done for us, and where from grateful
hearts our united tribute of praise and song
may reach the throne of grace.
Let the reunion of kindred and the social
meeting of friends lend cheer and enjoyment to
the day and let generous gifts of charity for the
relief of the poor and needy prove the sincerity
of our thanksgiving.
Witness my hand and the seal of the United
States. which have caused to be hereto
affixed.
Done at the City of Washington. on the
third day of November. in the year of our
Lord one thousand eight hundred and
ninety-three, and of the Independence of
the United States the one hundred and
eighteenth.

Silver Senators Have a
Scheme.
FREE COINAGE AS A RIDER.
How 1t Is Proposed to Handicap the
National Bank Bill in the
House.
Special to THE MORNING CALL.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 19.-The Star this
evening says: THE silver men in the Sem
ate will test their strength without bring
ing up the question of unconditional re-
peal. The plan which has been devised
by the Democratic leaders in that body is
one that will permit the silver men to
make test of their strength without the
risk of a vote on the repeal bill. The
scheme in brief is t0dispose of the bank
ing Dill before the repeal measure is taken
up for consideration. The silver men ex-
rect the banking bill to be amended in
such way as 10 develop it into a broad
and general financial measure With sir
yer out of the question the amendments
likely to be adopted are such as will either
meet with the approval of the anti
silver men or, at any rate, will not
be violently opposed by them. and
if no silver amendment is attached
to the bill it is likely TO pass
the House, but il is understood to be a part
of the plan of the silver men to have an
amendment offered providing for the free
coinage of silysr at a ratio of 20 to l, or
any other silver proposition which may de-
velop the greatest strength in the House.
On this amendment the silver men in the
C6udl6 Cau get t6St vote WITHOUT going
into the con sideration of the Sherman re-
peal bin. If the amendment carried it
would dispose of the repeal bill in itself,
and they are confident that this composite
financial measure, silver and all, can get
through the house.
''In the meanwhile calculations are that
the bank bill as measure of relief will
become a law, and this would relieve the
situation from one point of view and leave
the silver question just where it is"
Senator Sherman, in letter TO an Ohio
friend, says he thinks it best for Congress
to move slowly until something effective
can be done. The financial situation is
gradually becoming better and the belief
is becoming general that all that is wanted
is an increase in the currency of national
banks and the suspension of the further
purchases of silver. The latter he does
not regard as important. except to dissi-
pate the fears of capitalists that we are
coming to a single silver standard.
There were silver purchases to-day OF
10000 ounces out of 147, 900 ounces offered.
The price paid was 1926.

AN IMPROBABLE STORY.
The Bank of France Ready to Start a
Branch in Denver.

DENVER, Aug. ia 81 ecial from
Aspen. Coio., says that ex-senator Smith,
chairman of the Finance Committee cf the
French Senate. has just left Aspen for
Park City. Utah. The object of his trim
here is said to be to look into the silver
producing regions of the United States in
behalf of his Government
1t has leaked out since his departure that
the Bank of France would. if desired, es-
tablish a branch at Denver, to be con-
troled by directors composed of C0lorad O
capitalists. with a manager from Paris TO
represent the parent institution. 1t is said
they would agree to furnish from S50,O00,-
coo TO 100000. 600, or whatever would be
required TO carry all the silver produced in
Colorado for several years. without allow
ing to be sold until the price is fully salts
factory.
There are but twenty large smelters in
the country, and il the majority of these
combine a corner on the silver production
of the country could be had.
From the time France got the silver pro-
duction OF the United States under control
she would dictate the price of the metal TO
England for use in India and compel all
stlver-using nations to come to her for
money. The scheme. it is said. fluids much
favor among silver producers. and will no
doubt be carried out hero IL Congress
should not give the silver men som mething
better than the Sherman law.

Here Is Movement From Which
Danger May Come.
Anarchists Take Up a Scheme to
Center the Unemployed at the
National Capital.
Special to THE MORNING CALL.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 19.-Speaking OF the
movement said to have been inaugurated
in st. Louis for urging all the unemployed
of the West to move on to Washington,
Herman j. Schulteis, prominent member
of the local Federation of Labor and a
member of the immigration Committee
sent to Europe by the Government not
long ago. says:
II knew of this movement some days
ago; in fact, was called into consultation
regarding the feasibility of the project, I
did not then and do not now approve of
the scheme, and my most earnest endeav-
ors were expended in the direction of dis
couraging it. 1t was originally proposed
to muster at least $4,000, and, II possible.
500. coo unemployed men, and force Con-
gress, by means Of tremendous demon
stration, to provide relief for the peedy
classes.
II do not believe. however, that the
Federation OF Labor is at the bottom of
the movement. AS direct result of the
agitation lot of cranks, socialists and
anarchists-some of whom are in this citv
to-day-are strenuously endeavoring to
create trouble.
''1t may be added that IL any movem ent
such as that tforeshadowed is attempted on
a large scale there Is no city on the conti-
nent where such prompt and vigorous
measures could be taken to reDress such
an anarchical demonstration as that pro-
posed. There would be no red tape, no

Singing Reply to the Manifesto
Issued From Boston.

SALT LAKE, Aug. 19.-The Salt Lake
business men have formulated and for
warded a reply to the Boston mems bust
ness circular in behalf of single gold
standard. 1t reads in part as follows:
"The business men of the West are aston.
ished at the persistency of Eastern business
men in their efforts to influence Congress
TO the unconditional repeal of the Sher-
man silver act of 1890. without a bimetaI-
lie substitute, legislation which, if passed
by Congress, must completely demoraliZe
not only the West, but all portions of the
United States. judging from the present
condition of finance aud commerce. 1t
the words of the crucified Savior, we say: |:
God forgive them. for they know not what
they do
"We challenge the supporters of the un-
conditional repeal of the Sherman act to
show and deny that they ever have shown
wherein any benefits would arise
or that confidence would be re-
stored if their policy were fully
carried out. independently of ell direct
silver interest, and iii behalf of CONNER
cIal relations alone, we earnestly beseech
all business men, personally, to unbias-
edly investigate this subject of bimetal-
lism. feeling confident that they will un an
imously and without delay call upon Con-
gress to restore silver to the place 1t occu-
pied prior to 1873, thus speedily and per-
maDently settling this monetary question,
restoring onfidence to commerce, giving
employment to many unemployed. and
