Gen. Grout on the silver question.

Gen. Grout of this district spoke in the
House last Friday, under the five-mnutes
rule, on the silver question. He had been
enormously represented, he said, as being
opposed to the repeal of the purchase
clause of the Sherman law. He believed
in a sound currency, which should at the
same time be ample for the business needs
of the country. The use of both gold and
silver is necessary, and the metals must be
kept on parity. In other words he was
bimetallist. AS at present arranged,
however, there is an unsound element in
He therefore favored the bill for repeal,
and should vote for it. What he objected
to was that the order of debate arranged
by the Democratic caucus cut off the Re-
publicans absolutely from proposing any
amendments which would supply the def
cheney in the currency caused by stopping
the silver purchases. The amendment
they would have proposed would have been
very short and simple, but would have been
effectual to supply this deficiency with a
sound and flexible currency, one long tried
by the American people with no holder of
it ever yet losing dollar. That amend
ment would have been to allow the nation
al banks to issue circulation up to the par
value of their bonds. This would furnish
between $1S,OOO,OOO and S19,OOOOOO as
soon as the bills could be printed, and in a
years time, by encouraging the banks to
put their whole capital into bonds, it would
have added s15O,OOO,OOO to the currency,
and every dollar as good as gold, because
behind it are the bonds of the United
States.
Gen. Grout had felt, and was not yet
free from the feeling, "that the Republi-
cans, who are nearly solid for repeal, but

The Lee Mantle Case.

The Senate decided Monday that the ex-
ecutive of state cannot make an original
appointment to membership in that body I;
that is, vacancy having occurred by ex-
piratiOn of term, the power and response
bility for naming a successor rests solely
with the legislature of the state concerned.
The language of the constitution, strictly
construed, justifies this view. A strong
argument against is that every state is en-
titled to be represented by two senators
and should not be deprived of that right
by the failure of its legislature to do its
duty. This was the case in Montana, Wy
oming and Washington. The legislatures
balloted long and in vain for senator's
They adjourned, and the governors appoint
ed. Lee Mantle, holding credentials of
appointment as senator from the governor
of Montana, applied for admission. The
Senate made his test case, and its vote
Monday was final, as to his own and the
kindred cases.
The vote was not on party lines, nor on
silver lines. 1t represents the judgment
of the Senate on the constitutional ques-
tion involved, and will be accepted as a
precedent, in the absence of political ext
gency

Very sensational stories in regard to
President Cleveland's health have been in
circulation this week. One story, told
with circumstantial detail, has been that he
is suffering from a cancerous affection of
the mouth, like that which killed Gen.
Grant, and in July had an operation per-
formed on board Mr.. Benedict's yacht in
Buzzards Bay, which involved the removal
of a portion of the jaw bone. Another
account, and probably the more reliable,
says that the trouble resulted from an ul-
cerated tooth, and was not of cancerous
nature. Mr.. Cleveland's personal friends
declare him to be in excellent health. He
left Buzzard's Bay Wednesday afternoon
for New York, and on arriving in that city
proceeded directly to Washington.

Grout and Powers Have Good Places.


Washington Letter to the Springfield Republi;
can.
The New England members of the
House, especially the Republicans, Jared
exceedingly well at the hands of Speaker
Crisp in the distribution of committee
places. Gen. Grout of the eastern Yer
mont district got his old place of honor on
the appropriations committee, and Judge
Powers got highly honorable places on the
judiciary and on Pacific railroads. Judge
Powers was on the committee on the cleo
tiOn of the President and vice-president in
the last Congress, and took an active inter-
est in its work. His transfer to the COM
mittee on Pacific railroads was surprise
to him, but is evidence of the high opinion
in which he is held by the speaker because
of the important work the railroad com
mittee is likely to have to do.

This years wheat crop will probably fall
not far under 5OO,OOO,OOO bushels, against
a yield last year of 515, $4,000 bushels,
and 611, 100000 bushels in 1891. But
stocks of old grain carried over are nearly
twice as large as a year ago, and hence
there is no reason to look for any lack of
sufficient supplies. The present extraor-
dinarily low prices of wheat are not likely
to continue, however, and the western
farmers will probably be in no hurry to
send their crop to market until the prices
improve.

Nothing can be substituted for
the Royal Baking Powder
and give as good results.

No other leavening agent will make such
light, sweet, delicious, wholesome food.
If some grocers urge another baking pow
der upon you, it is because of the greater
profit upon it. This ofitselfis evidence of the
superiority of the "Royal." To give greater
profit the other must be a lower cost powder,
and to cost less it must be made with cheaper
and inferior materials, and thus, though selling
for the same, give less value to the consumer.
To insure the finest cake, the most whole

Royal Baking Powder is accepted by you.
