When the venerable and loved Bishop
WHELAN finished his long and useful
life, pail hung over the Diocese OF
Wheeling, for never was ecelesiastic
more reversd by his flock thar was the
departed Bishop, and 1t was believed by
mnny they would never look upon
his like again.
But the mantle of Bishop WHELAN
fell upon worthy shoulders. For
eighteen years Bishop KAHN has gone
in and out among the Catholic people
of this diocese, breaking unto them the
bread Of life. During that long
period Of faithful service he has en-
deared himself to his people in re-
markable degree as was httingly and
enthusiastically shown by the farewell
demonstration yesterday upon the eve
Of his departure to a higher field Of
labor.
During his administration OF the
Diocese Of Wheeling Bishop KAHN has
proved himself an able executive and he
relinquishes his trust with the satisfac-
ton OF duty we'll performed. AS a
theologlan his fame went throughout
the land, with the result that his great
abilities have been justly recognized in
his appointment as coadjutor to the
Archbishop Of st. Louis.
While appreciating the high honor
conferred upon Bishop KAHN, the peo-
pie Of Wheeling, irrespective Of sect,
will sincerely regret his departure, for
during his residence here he has won
the esteem Of all classes, and he will
carry with him 70 his new field Of labor
their best wishes for his welfare.

BERLIN, August 29.-In his speech at

Frankfort, Prince Bismarck reminded
his hearers OF the days when he lived
in Frankfort and became so domestica-
ted that he selected spot in church
yard there for his own grave.
In regard to the charge Of his being
q particularist, the Prince said that
there was no legal handle against the
Ministers. The only thing was for the
people 10 be able to say to them: That
was a clumsy, not to say stupid, piece
of work." The national cause.y-as based
on a calculation that all the factors
would work together on common ques-
tions. II this failed, the national feel
ing would diminish and this would be a
serious matter In case OF change In the
European situation.

Prince Bismarck, "of replacing the i'm

What is claimed TO be the correct In
depreciation of the Ancient Aztec Cal
endar was made public for the hrst Time
to-day at the meeting Of the Anthropo-
logical Congress in the AnthropoloRicai

ton declare it TO be the most important
discovery In it's way OF the century. as
lt furnishes key 10 much OF the an

ent nations that inhabited Mexico ana
Central America centuries ago. Inc
disclosure was made by woman, Mrs.

nology at the Fair, who read lengthy
paper before the Congress, in which she
explained the wonderful calendar.
DR.. Daniel G. Brinton, A. B., is Pres
ident Of the Congress and said the In
depreciation Of the Aztec Calendar
would in all probability eventually lead
to the translation OF the hieroglyphics
carved on the ruins OF the ancient coun-

thus reveal the history Of the wonder
full people who built them.

VOORHEES, BILL SUBSTITUTED
In the Senate For the Wilson Bnl-Pros'
poets OF Protraoted Fight.

poets OF a Protraoted Fight.
WASHINGTON, ID. c., August S,-The
Senate Committee on Finance this morn
ing decided TO report back to the Senate
the Wilson Repeal bill, with the rec
ommendation that the Voorhees, bill
already on the Senate calendar be
substituted for 1t. The committee also
resolved to set aside the National Bank
Circulation bill which is now unfinished
business in the Senate in favor OF the
Voorhees, bill, and to press the latter
measure as rapidly as the temper OF the
Senate will permit The difference be-
tween the House bill and the voorhees,
bill is found in the attachment to the
latter OF a paragraph declaring that 1t
is the poll cy Of the United States TO use
both gold and silver as money metals
and to preserve parity.
The programme of the committee as
far as 1t contemplates the setting aside
of the National bank bill can be carried
through. The aid of majority In the
Senate for the National bank bill can
not be withdrawn or set aside save
through a majority vote in favor OF the
consideration OF the repeal bill. The
silver men in the Senate profess to be
Indifferent as to which bill is considered
by the Senate, holding that the bank
bill is almost as Objectionable as the re-
peal bill. But there are indications that
the programme will meet with prolong-
ed resistance nevertheless, and the sill
yer men say they will fight repeal at
every step.

LITTLE DONE IN The SENATE
A Resolution Calling For Information,
Referred TO . Committee.


WASHINGTON, d. c., August 29.-Mr.
Voorhees,, Chairman OF the FINANCE
Committee reported back the house Dill
repeating part Of the Sherman ACT with
an amendment in the nature OF SUD-
stitute. He asked that the bill be placed
ON the calendar and he gave notice tnat
he should ask the Senate to take IL up
and consider 1t Immediately after the
morning business from this time on Till
fital action be taken.
The substitute, he said, was exactly
the bill heretofore reported from the
Finance Committee. He understood
that notice of an intention to ADDRESS
the Senate had been given oy the Sena-
tor from Georgia (Mr. Gordon) and the
Senator from Ohio (Mr. Sherman ana
he suggested that their remarks might
be made on the bill which he had Just
reported. He explained further that
the bill as reported from the Finance
Committee was identical with that pass
ed by the house so far as concerned the
repeal Of the purchasing clauses OF the
Sherman act; and that, from that point
on there was a certain matter In the
substitute which was not in the House
bill and which, in his Judgment, I'M
proved 1t and made 1t more acceptable
The bill was placed on the calendar.
The resolution offered yesterday oy
Mr.. Stewart was then laid before the
Senate. 1t directs the Secretary OF the
Treasury to inform the Senate whether
there is danger of deficiency In the
revenues of the government Tor
the concurrent year, and II so
what is the probable amount OF such de-
ficiency and whether legislation is neces-
sary to supply such deficiency. Inc
resolution gave rise TO long discus
sion, Senators Sherman, voorhees,,
Mills, Mcpherson and Harris opposed
the resolution as calling for prooematl-
cal statements as calculated 10 create
needless alarm, or as rejecting on the
Secretary Of the Treasury.
Finally the resolution was referred 10
the fnance committee, yeas 40, nays 10.
The Senators uotIng nay were Messrs.
Allen, Call, Dubers, Hansbrough, HILL
Irby, Jones (Nev.O, Lindsay, Fetfer'
Power, Shoup, Stewart, Teller, White
(Cala.) J, and Wolcott.
Mr.. Teller addressed the Senate In an
argument to prove that the Sherman
lrw is not responsible for the financial
troubles OF the country.
Without concluding his remarks Mr..
Teller yielded for motion to proceed
to executive business and afterwards
the Senate adjourned.

THERE is not much difference between
the Republicans and Democrats upon
the money question, as indicated in the
House Monday. In proportion to the
representation, there appears to be a
few more Democratic silver. Gen than
Republicans. The vote oRyfhe repeal OF
the sherman law stood: For repeal,
Democrats, 141; Republicans, 90. Total,
24O. Against repeal, Democrats, "a;
Republicans, "a, and Populists. IL.
Total, 100. The Democrats really
could save she country without the as
sistance Of the Republicans. The only

are Of the most encouraging character
The New York World Of yesterday
printed a list OF twenty banks which

August 18th. Six or seven thousand
workmen commenced work in the
Pittsburg industries Monday and half
as many more on Tuesday. The re-
ports from the New England States are
almost encouraging. The Denver
banks are resuming again, and all but
two are now ready for business, which
indicates a resumption Of the industries
OF the West. Some Of the mills and

THE Wilson repeal bill was side
tracked in the Senate yesterday. The
difference between the House and Sen
ate bills is merely in the fact that the
Senate bill contains section declaring
that it is the policy Of the United States
to use both gold and silver as money
and to preserve their parity. The sill
YER men in the Senate are as loud
mouthed in their talk about fighting to
the bitter end as the House people, but
when the fight came on the latter were
very quiet, and it may be so in the SEN
ate. There is really nothing to fight
about Nearly everybody wants silver
and gold-honest money-but the only
question is how to arrive at the con-
clusion desired BY all.

AFrRR RRPEAL, WHAT?

Now that the House has passed the
bill repeating the Sherman law, and
the presumption being that the Senate
will speedily do likewise, the query
naturally arises will that end the sgita-
tion Of the silver question?
The discussion Of the Sherman law is
merely a preliminary skirmish and the
great battle will come of after the re-
peal has been accomplished and the
question Of what TO do with silver
presents itself. 1t is a question that
will not down and cannot be shirked by
the peoples representatives.. With re-
peal accomplished, those who favor a
single gold standard will endeavor to
stop right there, while those who favor
the double standard will proceed TO
secure legislation recognizing both gold
and silver as the standard money Of the
country. That the contest will
be notable one is evil
dent from the number Of
able statesmen srraYed on either side,
and the result will undoubtedly be that
silver will continue to be one Of the
moneys OF the country, but its coinage
will be so regulated as to meet the pub
lie need. There will be no compulsory
coinage, but to the Government will be
left the discression Of increasing or cur
failing the coinage as occasion may re-
quire.
