HON. WIN. L. WILSON
interviewed ON the Probable Work of
the Extra Session-Thinks II
Will be Continuous.

WASHINGTON, d. c., July ll.-Rep-
resentative W. l.. Wilson, of West
Virginia, who presided over the Chi
cago Convention, and who is recog.
nized as one of the inevitable leaders
in the next Congress, arrived in this
city day.
Questioned as to the probable out.
come Of the extra session, Mr.. Viii.
son said
sit has always been my belief that
the extra session will be continuous
and that no recess can be taken. I'm
der any circumstances however, the
tariff question will be considered.
$50 soon as the committee on Ways
and Means is announced the tariff
will be taken up by them and even
should there be recess before the
regular session in December, the
committee viii continue to have ses-
sions for the consideration of the new
tariff law which the committee will
report to the house"
The rumored intention to place
him at the head of the Committee on
Ways and Means was mentioned, and
he was asked if he would accept the
place.
Mr.. Wilson hesitated moment
and then replied with smile: 81
have never known of any one refus-
ing a good craftsmanship if it were
offered to him; but / will say that
the chairman of this committee dur
ing the next Congress will not have
his honor without his labors."
He added that he had received no
intimation ON the subject beyond
what be had read in the newspapers.
He further said there would be no
opposition to the re election of Mr.
Crisp as Speaker, so far as he knew,
and that he believed the majority of
the people of West Virginia were in
favor of the repeal of the Sherman

Repeal and the Market.

The business world is happier than
it was. Money is easier, trade is
brisker, apprehension is Gained and
confidence is gradually returning.
1t is true that all this may be
changed within week or even with
in day. 1t is true in money mat
tiers more than in any other relation of
life that confidence is a plant of slow
growth. But whatever of ameliora-
tion has taken place in the condition
of business has followed fast on the
Presidents call for an extra session
of Congress for the purpose of re-
pealing the Sherman law.
1t may be that the Sherman law
will not be repealed 1t may be that
repeal alone will not put an end to
the distressful times which are felt
throughout the world, in all coun-
tries, without regard to kinds of
money or to tariffs or to rates of wa
ges. The chances are that the Sher-
man act will be repealed, and that
the uncertainty and fear resulting
from its existence on the statute
book will thereupon be dispelled.
All these facts are known to the
men of the money market, and yet
the mere call for the session has pro-
duced calm and certain feeling
of security which, compared with
the condition of things two weeks
ago, may be said to indicate return
ing prosperity.
This is happy augury of what
would follow repeal The World has
commended from the first that the
country needed more confidence rath-
er than money, and this judgment is
vindicated by what has resulted from
the issue of the call for an extra ses-
sion. Intelligent people the world
over have an abiding faith in the
common sense Of the American peo-
pie, whose will congressman are
eager to learn and obey. The mere
fact that the situation is to be dis
cussed in the law-making body, and
while the effect of the Sherman law
is plain, causes a general faith that
the offending statute will be repeal
ed, and this in turn restores conf
dence and helps business.
If this is the result of the procla=
nation which gives the opportunity
for repeal, what will be true of the
repeal itself? Is it not already pos
sible to foresee the benefcent results
of such measure?-N. Y. World.

On Thursday of last week one
Olstein, Swede, in the employ Of
Langhorne u Aleen, contractors,
building short line railroad on
Keeney's creek, Fayette county, was
drilling a hole in solid rock pre-
paratory to blasting. He did not
finish drilling that day, and the next
morning resumed his work, but some
one had placed dynamite in the hole.
The result was an explosion, and the
drill was blown through Olstein' $
head, entering under the chin and
ranging upward, killing him instant
ly. Whether the dynamite was placed
there through vindictiveness or as a
practical joke is not known.

Mr. Harrison has the virtue OF
being candid. He said, referring &c
the probable action Of Congress: Il
cannot tell what may be the extent Of
Mr. Cleveland's knowledge on the
subject, but ! know that they would
not have repealed the Sherman Law
for me- It is we'll known that Mr.
Harrison tried hard to get the Law
repealed BY the last Congress.

WASHINGTON, Pa, July 13.-Three
children found two bottles under a
tree last night and began hurting
stones at them. One of the bottles
was struck, causing a tremendous
explosion. An enormous hole was
blown in the earth, trees and fences
were leveled and the children were
hurled a great distance. Willie Cox
was fatally hurt and his sister, Ma
tilda, and George Ward, aged Ia
and II respectively, were seriously
hurt and may die. The bottles con
tanned nitro glyeerine.

Our Silver Legislature.

ne late Director OF Mint, Mr..
Leech has an admirable article in
the current number of the North
american ReUie,o entitled "Silver
Legislation and Its Results"
The first act passed for the restor-
alton of the silver dollar to our cur
rency after the law of 1873 was the
act of'7S,which is incorrectly.spoken
of as the Bland law. The Bland bill
was a freecoinage measure, and the
| Senate amendment moved by Mr..
Allison made it a purchase act, fix
ing the amount to be coined at least
100000 worth Of silver a month.
This bill was passed under press
ure from the silver miners, the price
of whose products was falling. I'm
der the act the Government purchas-
ed 291 ,292,01 ounces of silver for
which it paid $30S,190,262. The
price declined, but the Government
made money under the operation of
the law, for it coined out of the pur-
chased silver 1878, 166,795.
Every effort was made to push
these dollars into circulation, but
without success until small certifi-
Gates were issued. Then by reason
of the retirement of the national
bank notes the silver was absorbed.
But the law did not result in the
expected benefit of the silver miners.
The price jumped up at first to 81,
201 an ounce. This was on Feb. %,
1878, but on March goth, 1879,
the price fell to SO cents. By reason
of this decline in the silver market
the agitation for the free coinage of
silver was renewed, and the act of
1890, known as the Sherman act,
was passed.
Under this law about 157, 100000
ounces ofsilver have been purchased,
on which, at 70 cents an ounce, the
Government has lost about $4,000
900, for the increased purchases did
not keep up the price ofsilver. The
miners were again disappointed,
although not nearly so much disap-
pointed as they pretend to be, be-
cause if it had not been for the Sher-
man act they would have had nc
sure maket for their product.
Not only did the Bland and the
Sherman acts fail to increase OF
maintain the price of silver, but
they have driven gold out of the
country to the amount of more thar
$25O,000,000. Moreover the issue OF
Treasury notes against this bullion
has not increased the currency Of
the country. On June LIST, 1892 the
amount of money in circulation was
| Sl,6l3,572,244, and on June l, 1898
it war 1886, Isl, S01, reduction O
$17,42o0o0.
Therefore, as Mr.. Leech clearly
shows, our silver legislation since
1878 has not brought forth any o
the beneficial results predicted TO
it, while it has imperilled our cred

sTICKING uP nor THEM.

The GLOBE is not surprised that the
Tribune stands by the elevator monop-
oily The Democratic party in the last
campaign had the active opposition Of
several Democrats of that city because
they had finger in the elevator pie,
and were Democrats except when their
local interests were eatened: then
they were as good Republicans as any
of them. The headquarters of the great
English syndicate is in Minneapolis.
The profits Of the combine have gone to
enrich Minneapolitans That the plum
der comes there for division and the
spending is ample justification for the
plundering. 1t is home institution.
and the Tribune sticks up for it. 1t
always did believe in protecting home
industries, and it is but keeping its
character good now.
But the question is bigger one than
is the city of Minneapolis. 1t is Co
extensive, not only with the limits of
this state, but Of the whole graingrow-
ing region to the west and southwest of
us into which the elevator combine has
already thrust its tentacleS. 1t is a
matter Of the interests Of the people
against the few, ana because it is this, it
commands the willing support OF the
GLOBE and of the Democracy. 1t is be-
cause it believes that there is no QueS-
ton before the legislature of the state
this winter that begins to approach this
one i'll its Importance. not alone from a
financial point, but from that OF the
right Of the citizen to freedom itself,
that the GLOBE feels impelled to give to
the matter the attention it has given. 1t
is a condition of slightly modified
slavery when the grain producers of the
state are denied a free, competitive
market for their produce, and are Obliged
to sell it at prices arbitrarily fixed by
one man, or a coterie of men, in room
in Minneapolis. 1t is system Of robbery
which enabled one Duluth elevator to
clean up $1,000 bushels of "overageS'' on
the crop of 81. 1t is a system Of down.
right robbery which gives to the Syndi-
cate such a control of the markets that
it is enabled to fitch from the farmers
six and One-half cents buShel on every
bushel Of wheat they raise, by the fiction
of Dasing prices on the Chicago market.
it is a system of slavery which takes
every independent buver by the throat
and threatens destruction If he dare to
give his customers more than the price

bad system all around, that has grown
up partly by neglect, partly by vicious
legislation; and it is system which

Hawaiian Commissioners Inter
view Foster Again.
WASHINGTON, FEB. THE Hawaiian
annexation commissioners and DIR. Mott
Smith, the Hawaiian minister, had an
other interview this morning with Sec =
rotary Foster at the state department.
As was the case with the two previous
Interviews. this was entirely informal,
being confined to All Interchange of I'M
official views upon the subject of annex
Ing the Hawaiian islands TO the United
States. Nothing WAS said about the
time when the commissioners shall be
received by President Harrison, and
thus formally recognized, and the de-
termination of this date will depend
upon the nature Of the adyiceS from
Honolulu, which are expected to reach
San Francisco tomorrow on the Oceanic
steamer Australia.
All the members of the cabinet were
present at the cabinet meeting today eX-
cept Secretary Noble. There was no
change i'll the situation OF Hawaiian nf-
fairs. as far as the cabinet is concerned.
Until the president and secretary of
state conclude their NEGOTIATIONS with
the commissioners, or decide that nago-
tiations cannot be formally entered
upon. of course there will be nothing
for the cabinet as body to consider.
MeSsrs. Thurston and Carter left on the
noon train for New York on personal
business. and will return tomorrow
evening. Aaother conference may be
held on Thursday, but when the COM
mSsOners separated from Secretary
Foster today there was no definite ell
aunnput tO that effect
