AIDING The UNEMPLOYED.
A Movement lnaugurated in the
Right Direction.

As the result of conference with
other officials, Mayor Wright called a
meeting at his Office last Saturday to
consider what plans are most practical
to furnish employment to those out of
work, or assistance in case OF Illness or
special distress.
At this meeting representatives OF all
theSrelief organizations in the city, of
the, board of contlol, city council, coun-
ty commissioners. 1.-The comptroller and
others were present. 1t was developed
at this meeting that $500 was the total
! fund at the disposal of the city for re-
lief purposes, and that under the Bell
charter there was no way any more
-coufd be legally secured. While it was
not quite so clear as to the power of the
County to raise money for such an
emergency. that was also regarded as
of very doubtful legality.
As the result on Saturday three COM
mittees were appointed. First To de-
wise plan TO ascertain who are in need
Of work, or are destitute, Second
How to provide employment for those
out of work. Thrd-How to provide
funds to carry on the work.
An adjourned meeting of the main
committee was held at the mayors Of
flee yesterday to hear reports from the
three subcommittee and take action
thereon At this meeting Labor Com
missioner Powers, accompanied by
seven delegates appointed by the trades
and labor assembly, appeared. This
delegation was appointed at a meeting
held On Tuesday night, as reported in
Yesterdays GLOBE, which meeting re-
auested the mayor to appoint COM
mittee OF fifty to devise ways and
means to give the needed employment.

SHERMAN ON SILVER.

Senator SHERMAN at least possesses
the courage of his eloqaence. Yester-
day he s;ood up and spoke for the repeal
OF a measure framed by himself and
strongly advocated by him in july, 1890.
1t is not an edifying spectacle to wit
ness a leader in either of the great
parties in the act of stultifying his indi-
vidual record. 1t is a sight which by no
means inspires confidence i'll party acts
LII the past or party legislation in the
future. The act Of pleading compromise
with eyll-a kind OF political confession
and avoidance-is by no means heroic.
Ii the purchasing clause OF the SHEER
MAN silver act was a desperate choice
between tile BLAND-ALLIsoN act and
absolute free coinage, and we have Sen
ator SIIERMAN's word that it was, what
can be said for the positive strength of
purely Republican legislation In 1890?
LII dust has been thrown in the eyes of
the people, it is just as well to remember
that it was Republican dust. Senator
SHERMAN says i'll his speech that he be-
lieyes III ''giving the devil his DUE" but
the stern logic of present events plainly
Indicates that in July, 1890, the Re pub
llcan party was, on the question Of na-
tional finance, between the devil aud the
deep sea, if not wholly at sea-
1t is but justice to Senator SHERMAN
to say that his present attitude on the
absorbing question is sound More
than this, it is positive in its character,
and his really excellent speech OF yes
terday leaves no doubt in the minds of
people where he stands. He is for i'm
mediate repeal and absolutely against
free coinage. He finds little to crlticise
III the message of President CLEvE-
LAND, save that tile author does not
go far enough in the way OF suggesting
remedial agencies. This Is one of the
most delicate compliments that could
have been paid to the head, heart and
honesty Of the president. 1t is true that
Mr.. CLEVELAND did not write Har-
riSonian essay upon finance, embodying
much labored reasoning upon economic
laws. As Senator SHERMAN says, he
correctly diagnosed the disease, and
left much TO congress III the way of
nursing the patient. Altogether, Sena-
tor SHERMAN is to DE congratulated by
the honest money portion of the coun-
try upon his able effort in behalf OF
honest money.
1t is noticeable that, unlike either of
the speeches Of Senators VOORHEES, OF
HILL, the remarks of Mr.. SHERMAN
are laden with sound logic, briStling
with facts, and directly to the point.
His meaning is plain, direct and un-
equivocal. He does not halt at times to
linger i'll the anderbruSh OF ambiguity,
like VOORHEES,, nor float his financial
Ideas in the chop sea of political dema-
gogy, like HILL. He makes the most
OF present environment. and his words
should have weight with his colleagues.
Certainly 1t is to be hoped that they
will, in view of the fact that Republican
recalcitrants in the senate largely out
number Democrats.

A MIsLEADiNG MEASURE.

The seemingly non-esSential point of
difference between the Wills ON repeal
bill passed by the house Monday and
the VOORHEES, bill, proposed IN the SELL
ate, may prove to be vitality essential.
While the WILSON bill Internationally
repeats the compulsory silver coinage
act, the measure proposed by Senator
VOORHEES, attaches TO the repeating
clause ii paragraph declaring that it is
the policy of the United States to use
Dotn gold and silver as money metals,
and to preserve parity. This declara-
tory paragraph is simply piece of bun
combe, and would have no binding effect
upon congress. 1t might prove per
nIcious, however, as atfordiug ground
for the fear that at some future time
congress might attempt to place the two
metals on a practical. as we'll as the
oretical parity. The fact that such a
thing is impossible would make no diff
ference; the apprehen sion caused by
that fear would be disturbing force i'll
our fiscal system. and prove q continual
source OF uneaS mess and distrust.
There is no need of temporizing with
guarantee that the monetary affairs
of the country will not be needleSsiy
disturbed by congress. The threat of
such disturbance conveyed in the
VOORHEES, declaration will be regarded
as menace. and will tend to retard
that restoration of confidence which is
already having such a reyiyifyiug eff
feet upon our commerce and industry.
The senate will make grave mistake
if it shall substitute the VOORHEES, for
the WILSON bill. 1t will satisfy neither
side i'll the pending controversy, for it is
capable of 100 great misconstruction.
We must have no ambiguity in this mat
ter. Honesty aud straightforwardness
should characterize all legislation on
this subject. Nothing short of this
will be acceptable, or should be toler-
ated. The senate will fall short of its
duty if it fails to approve the house bill
just sent 10 it for concurrence, and that
right speedily

speaking, and for literary and social
culture. 1t is claimed by Kartak that
lie was expelled, but the society has re-
fused TO call special meeting to restore
his rights therein as it has a right to do.
Judge Egan has made an order COM
handing the society to restore kartak
to membership or else to show cause
at special term of the court on Sept.
why such restoration should not be
made.
Kartak is one of the two oldest mem

claims that he is entitled to have his
dues paid out Of a fund that had ac-
cumulated. This fund was diverted
from its purpose aud used to purchase a
banner. The society expelled Kartak
without hearing for not paying dues

Henry Sampson made gain last

crowd of deyotees. Charley Glow had
opened long lead in the first two
games, and Sampson went to the table
with discouraging handicap confront
ing him. However, he played in better
form, and he pulled himself I'D to
62S points to CLOVIS 600. Yet he
must do even better than this in the two
remaining evenings. or else suffer de-
feat, for he is to encompass 1,25O points
to CLOVIS 1000 buttons.
Glow started in strong with sequential
runs in the double figures, while Samp-
son had to content himself with
units for a time, but Sampson
after a while gathered himself to.

can labor for four days at time with

How They Eat.
DR.. j. M. de Peralta, assistant COM
missioner of Costa Rica. described the
great coffee fields of his country. Aud
so almost every nationality gave some
account of its country. There were also
some interesting comparisons of the
manners of eating. or the number of
meals taken day. In Costa Rica they
take lunch of coffee and rolls at a. M.
They take breakfast at 1920, dinner at
-
The Turks eat their first morsel at
sunrise. This consists only of bread
and cheese, and is intended as only a
means of enabling the people to smoke.
They breakfast at 10, eat light lunch
at 3 p. H., and their heaviest meal of the
day half an hour after sunset. The
Turks make bread only once in SIX
months. The loayes are 10 thicker than
crackers, and are made each with a hole
III tile middle by which they are strung
on stick and hung up for use as
wanted. When bread is wanted one OF
the loaveS is broken off the stick and
soaked i'll water until it is soft enough
for use.
The Russians eat several times day,
at times differing from our hours of
eating. But tiIs most peculiar feature
of their system is the fact that they eat
their heaviest meal of the day at mid
night. This relates only to the classes
above farmers and mere day laborers.
As the party entered the Minneapolis
union depot last evening all sprang out
OF the cars ana began cheering vocifer-
ously for the railroad company, for the
mayor of Minneapolis, who was there
with large number of people, and for
everybody that came IN sight. At st.
Paul the cheering was repeated, Gen
eral Manager Mohler being the chief
object of their enthusiasm. The Great
Northern railway has covered itself all
over with glory in the affair. No ex-
pense nor pains was spared to make ii
success, and nothing was overlooked
which could contribute in the least to
the pleasure and comfort of the COM
miSSioners.

this morning is another gratifying indi-
cation of the rapidly improving condi-
ton OF affairs. The bank reopens, ready
to continue business as though no hiatus
had occurred. Always solvent. the Of
feers of the West Side bank have had
the unqualified confidence OF the stock
holders and depositors. and this has
enabled them to SO speedily resume
business
The assumptions of the Peoples bank

ADJUSTMENTS.

To mention the many qualifications
| which John Drew possesses for light
comedy work would be to run the
gauntlet of requirement. He has delft
ness of touch and spcutaneity that
comes not only from his natural intel
ligence, but also from his long expert
ence as leading man of the DAILY COM
pany. A graceful carriage, clearness in
enaneiation. mobile face and a per-
fectly moduIated voice make his
impersonation, whether IN higt-class
comedy, comedy farce, Shakespearian,.
or poetic roles, very enjoyable,
and no actor upon the stage to-
day has given greater pleasure

trasIlng roles. 1.-The Masked Ball." in
