When all life's storms are still
And all life's noises into cain have passed.
When rest and quiet come to us at last.
What matters good or i'll?
What matters love or hate?
Calm hands are folded Ger quiet breast
The weary head Is pillowed in sweet rest
And sorrow comes too late
What matters wealth or fame?
The narrow grave is all that earth can give;
The deathless soul in other worlds shallliye
And men forget our name,
What matters aught of earth?
The passing pictures OF a shadowed dream.
The changing eddies of . turbid stream,
Sure these are nothing worth.

principal o. these questions is the silver
problem, or rather the recent heavy alb
sorption OF gold. This question he le
CARDS as one that will require his i'm
mediate consideration, and to fortify
himself with all the information possible
he has had personal conferences with
several of the most prominent officials in
the treasurer'S office. With these he has
discussed the method the treasury of
ficialS have employed to protect the
gold reserve. They admitted frankly
that all theories as to the cause of the
outflow of gold have been dashed to the
wall by recent events. The amount of
imports and exports. which was formerly
thought to exert controlling influence,
seems to operate no longer to any ap-
preclable extent. The rate of exchange
also ceases to operate, as gold continues
to go out. These statements were made
to MI. Carlisle, and the officials were
quite frank in admitting that they had
stopped trying to find out the reasons
for the outflow of gold, and were instead
bending al their energies to prevent
the gold balance from being entirely
exhausted, and to keep intact the gold
reserve OF $100,000,00 To this end Sec
rotary Foster has. it is stated, made
satisfactory arrangements with New
York bankers for the exchange of legal
tender notes for enough gold coin suffi-
cient to meet all demands for some time
to come. Secretary Foster expressed
the opinion that the gold output within
the next few months will not be so
great as it has been during the past few
months. The idea is also advanced that
as soon as the tide of travel to the
worlds fair sets this way there will be

that, as the house has refused to repeal
the Sherman law. gold will cease to be
exported, on the theory that the gold
movement to Europe was intended
mainly to influence legislation.

SUFFRAGE CONVENTION.
Preliminary Address of the Com.

Preliminary Address of the Com
mittee on arrangements.
CHICAGO, Feb. TO- The preliminary
address of the committee arranging for
the suffrage congress to be held during
the worlds fair was issued today. 1t
outlines programme for perhaps the
most interesting of the series of the ma
tional gatherings that are to form such
notable feature of the big exposition.
The discussions in the suffrage congress
are expected to cover wide range and
touch some of the most vital questions
in current politics. The congress will
be held at the Airing institute the week
commencing Aug. Z. The programme
provides for consideration of the ques-
ton of compulsory voting, the extent
and manner in which the right to vote
should be extended to women, the ref
cerendum, the limitation and regulation
of the suffrage in communities having
mixed races, such as negro, Indian and
Chinese, the propriety of an educational
test, state laws permitting aliens to vote,
the time OF residence required of aliens
before exercising the suffrage, the
American system compared with the
parliamentary system, the selection of
senators by a direct vote of the people,
remedies for violent and fraudulent
suppression of the popular will. I'M
provements in the Australian system,
the abolition Of the electoral college
and possible better methods for nomi-
mating conventions. The committee of
arrangements for the congress is as fol-
lows: Thomas W. Palmer. chairman;
William D. FOulke, vice chairman; DR..
n. Won Hoist, William Henry Smith,
Prof. E. w. Hoffcut, Oliver 7. Morton.

POLITICAL BOLDNESS
On the Part of Cleveland in Select
ing Gresham.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10. -Editorially
the World has this to say upon the sub
ject Of Judge GreSham's appointment
as secretary of state: Assuming the
truth of the report, it is an example of
. Mr.. Cleyeland's political boldness thus
to call to what is nOminally the first
place among his advisers one who has
never definitely joined the Democratic
party. Judge Gresham is a conspicuous
representative of the great host of
former Republicans who have broken
with their party because of its inf
deity to the peoples interests and
have brought the Democratic party into
power in order to restore the admins
tration of the national government to
the principles Of duty and responsible
lty OH which the nation was founded.
OF Judge GreSham'S great ability and
high character there can be no ques-
ton. He is thoroughly American in all
his instincts and training"
The Times, speaking editorially, says:
"Mr. Cleveland's reported invitation 10
Judge Walter Q. Gresham to take the
place of secretary of state in his cabinet
is received with marked satisfaction by
prominent Democratic senators in
Washington. Apart from the fact that
Judge Gresham is Il man of the highest
character and of decided ability, his
selection is new guarantee of disrc-
gard of narrow political considerations
on the part of Mr.. Cleveland. The APP
pointment would be regarded with
enthusiasm in the West"

He is AFTER THEM.
a Number OF Illinois Ex-Oficials
to Be Prosecuted for Irregu-
larities in Office
In Pocketing Interest and MisaD-
propriating Insurance Fees
and Other Perquisites.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Feb. 10.-Acting
Gov. Gill again startled the politl-
clans of the state capital this afternoon
by ordering the prosecution of all the
state treaSurers and auditors since the
adoption of the constitution OF 1870, for
irregularities in office in pocketing the
interest on the public funds, misappro-
priatlng insurance fees and other per-
quisites which should have been
turned into the state treasury.
Twelve state officials and nearly one
hundred bundSmen, running through
period of over twenty years, are con-
cerned in the proceedings ordered, and
tonight the wires are busy with mes
sages to all portions of the state notify
ing the parGleS interested of the. legal
contest that is about to be begun. The
acting governor, in an official commune
cation to Attorney General Maloney,
says that So, 100000 has been illegally
seGuestered from the public treasury,
and it is virtually call to arms to all
those who for many years have vainly
protested against violations of the law,
and denounced the JreaSurers of Illinois
for apprOpriating tile interest. 1t is
understood that Mr.. Gill has called into
consultation some of the leading jurists
of the state.
Officials against whom he directs the
attorney general to begin prosecution
are: EX-State Auditors Charles E. Lip
pincott, Thomas B. Needles and Charles
p. Swigert, eX-State Treasurers Z. N.
Bates, Edward Ruiz, Thomas S. Ridge
way, John G. Smith, Jacob Gross, John
r. Tanner, Charles Becker and Edward
S. Wilson. All are Republicans except
Wilson, who is a Democrat and served
from 1891 to 1893. having been elected
on a platform which explicitly de-
nGunced the practice Of state treasurers
appropriating interest Oh public funds.
EX-Audltor Llppincott and ex-State
Treasurer Bates are dead, but suits will
run against their bondsmen, most of
whom are still alive and residents of H.
linois. Prominent lawyers here declare
that the statutes and constitution are
even more unfavorable to the ex-otficials
than in Wisconsin. 1t is said that the
decisive action of Acting-Gov. Gill is
due to a growing disposition of some of
the leaders of the general assembly to
to tempOrZe with a grave question.
When the prosecution of ex-Auditor
Pavey was ordered two weeks ago. it
was understood by Gov. Gill and the
attorney general that the assembly
adopt resolutions, without delay, for the
Investigations by special committees
into official misconduct of the officials.
This was not done, however, and the
supreme court. having already rem
dered an opinion upon practically the
same point, Gov. Gill concluded it was
making the executive an "accomplice
after the fact'' to longer delay the pros
ecution of the offenders, in view of the
great public clamor all over the state.

FARM ANIMALS.
Statistics Show a Heavy Reduc-
tiOn in Swine,

UIOu III CWlIlCs
WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.-The report
of the statisticlan upon comparative
numbers and. values of farm animals
based on returns of January, 1892, is
nearly ready for publication. 1t shows
an increase of horses, mules and sheep,
no material change in the number Of
milcn cows, decrease in oxen and
other cattle. and very heavy reduction
in the number of swine. The estimated
present number Of domestic animals on
farms, ranches and the public range are
as follows: Horses, 1896 02: mules.
1881. 12S; cows, IL, 424, 0S7; other cattle,
094. 907. The increase in mules is very
slight. The apparent increase i'll sheep
exceeds 100000, continuation of the
movement which commenced in 1889,
by which numbers have increased
nearly 100000 in four years. In
the case of swine there was Il
small pig crop last spring, and the adj
vance in pork products has caused the
Strengthening of some portion of the
stock of mature animals. AS the av-
erage age now attained by these ami
mails is less than year, there is liability
to extreme f1uctuation in numbers,
which is possible of no other species.
Average values have declined as to
horses and mules and advanced as to
cattle of ali kinds. A greater gain APP

Tho immense appropriation Bill
Receives Little Attention.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.-General dis
cussion of All annual appropriation bill
is usually pro forma proceeding. 1t
was supposed, however, that when the
pension bill came up i'll the house today
there would be a break in the dull
routine. But there was not. Mr..
Mutchler, of Pennsylvania, who had
charge of the bill. made a two-hours
speech, which, though Dristling with
statistics and delivered in his courteous
manner, did not attract close at
tention. Mr.. Circuit, OF Vermont.
also spoke with great earnest
ness against the proposed revision of
the pension laws, but he also failed in
securing the attention of the house. Mr..
Tarsney. of Missouri, who is one of the
great stump orators of the house. failed
to do himself justice. He read his
speech. Mr.. Mckinney. who is said to
be on the slate for commissioner Of pen
slons, was also powerlesS to secure ST.
lent audience. Mr.. O'Neill, of Massachu-
sets, was in no better situation. In
fact, a bill which carries more than
S166. 100000 was considered as though it
carried no more than 166 cents. With
out closing the general debate, the COM
mittee rose and the house took recess
the evening session to be for the COLI
sideration of private pension bills.
