The BUNS Peril.

Shakespeare's Seven Ages would
have immortalizea his name had he
written nothing else. Grover has
laid down seven rules for the guild
ance of his administration, that il
lived up to will grow brighter in the
political history of his regime, while
contemporary incidents grow dim in
the vista Of the past.
Two of the most conspicuous OF
these political maxims have smitten
many a patriot like a violent punch
in the stomach. The first of these
is v: No office holder under the former
reign of Grover is to have any pap
under the present dynasty. They
are turned out on the common to
grass, like old car horses, no longer
fit for service. These ghosts OF
former greed and greatness will feel
that this world has no longer any
charms for them, and that q
suicides grave is better than a life
of such hopeless existence.
The second rule applies to the
same family of patriots once .emov-
ed. They were not among the lucky
ones at the former political bone
snatching, and "got left" as the
boys say. But they we're not left
without hope, like their elder breth.

Salary Grab No. 2.

1t will be remembered that some
years back the great sensation that
was raised all over the country by
Congress voting the members an in
crease of salary, The act denounced
without stint as the 'ssalary grab.'
and so unpopular was this legal steal
that most OF the grabbers were left al

constituents. Well, among The jobs

Sly and slippery John Sherman came TO
drawn bill, to authorize per cent FIVE
year loan, which, when carefully examined =,
proved to coyer up scheme to draw all
the greenbacks from circulation and destroy
them. A that would have been required
was 10 send greenbacks in, draw gold out
and then buy bonds with the gold and re-
peat the same process, day after day, ill all
the greenbacks were destroyed, and an
additional debt loaded on the people TO pay
inter est on, while the banks used it TO draw
national bank currency from the government
to take the place of the destroyed green
backs. In place of the greenbacks which
have been in circulation since 1868, gold
interest bearing debt was to be saddled on
the country, on which to 'base" an Issue of
national bank notes, on which the people
would be- oompelled 10 pay interest to the
bank.
Had the scheme not failed, silver would
haye been wholly demonetized, the green
backs would have been destroyed, and the
banks placed in complete control of the
finances of the country TO expand and con :
tract the currency at pleasure, with both
government and people under their thumb.
The plot fortunately miscarried, and the
wizard of the gold ring in the Senate was
foiled for once in his conspiracy against the
people. This bold attempt to perpetrate a
final robbery before the republican party
went out of power should be warning to the
people. The men deepest in the conspiracy
are the class who are striving by every
means-always foul and never fair-to effect
the complete decentralization of silver. This
last conspiracy should convince the people
that their war on silver is for selfish pur-
pose, and directly opposed to the public
interest, and make every honest man an
advocate of the free coinage of silver. Who
ever is found opposing the measure after the
exposure of this infamous bond plot, may
safely be classed as among the conspirators
and an enemy Of his country. Watch these
gold bond advocates and newspapers how
they are focking to Cleveland from all
points of the compass, hoping they can
persuade him to stand up against the
reconciliation of silver which is coming by
| the next Congress.

Congress SO.

The SD Congress ended Its exist
ence on the 4th of March and calm
dispassionate view of its from start
to finish can reach but one conclu-
sion, thai it was the most unmiti-
gated legislative farce this country
every witnessed, and spent more
money than any Congress in a time
of profound peace in the world s
history.
And the Cabinet of the incoming
administration 10 the most curious
anomaly of mediocrity the people OF
this country ever looked upon. The

The doleful cry of the Plutocratic
papers and national bank presidents
is:-"The Sherman law, as long as it
is on our statute books, is a constant
menance to the trade of this country"
Scarcely an attempt is made by these
gold calamity howlers to tell how Or
why this law affects the trade of the
country, and when partial attempt
is essayet by these alarmist the
cause assigned is so ridiculous as to
merit only contempt. The public
would like to hear plausible reason
fer this gold hug out cry, but it is
safe to say they never will. There
is none can be given.

Fall of Prices.

At meeting of Members of Par.
liment, recently he'd in London,
Professor Foxwell of the London
University, de ived a speech on the
result of the demonstration of silver
on prices. He said in the course of
bis remarks there had been fall of
prices since 1878, according to Mr..
Saurbeck, the economist, and other
authorities, of not less than IS per
cent, so that the appreciation of gold
during that period has been SO per
cent in other words. two sovereigns
would buy now what three sovereigns
did in 1873. This rapid decline in
prices is unprecedented in the
worlds history. and was caused by
the demonstration of silver.

s Put-up Job.

1t now comes out that the great rush for
gold during the expiring weeks Of the Har-
rison administration was a conspiracy con-
cocted by New York bankers, to compel the
issue of $4,000, 000 or more of gold bonds
before the republican party went out of
power. Seeretary of the Treasury Foster
appears to have been as deep in the plot as
any OF the Jew bankers, who were the agents
for drawing gold out of the sub.treasnry,
although Mr.. Foster attempts to deny il.
His actions, however, will lie taken in
evidence in preference to his denial. 1t
appears that the President suspected the
conspiracy and declared that no bonds
should be issued during bis administration.
Mr.. Foster was offered 81 ,000,0 of gold
by Denver bankers, but would not receive
it unless they would pay freight, which
Senator Teller, who laid their proposal
before the Secretary, said they would refuse
TO do. The Secretary's refusal of this offer
made it plain that he was in the conspiracy
with the New York bankers, to saddle
additional debt on the country.
Since Mr.. Carlisle has assumed control OF
the Treasury department, there appears to
be no trouble about getting gold. The
banks all over the West offer gold, fro n
S25 Geo up to millions, in exchange fol
greenbacks and legal tenders.

Churches and Guns

We are now constructing the most
expensive churches that the world
has ever known since the pagan
religion was superseded by that OF
the meek ard lowlv Jesus" They
are building one in New York which
is to cost $4,000 900 (ten million
dollars).
Suppose Christ should come again
and should wear what he wore
before-a linen gown, a pair of wood
en- sandals on his feet. no socks and
hat-do you suppose the minister IN
the ten million dollar church would
be glad to see Jesus come in?
He would be just as happy as the
money changers in the Temple.
The finer our churches are the
bigger Mr. krupp makes his cannon
This might seem queer but its so.

NEW LIFE AHEAD.

The Comstock lode will not be aban-
doned. It's destinations are too attrac-
tive for that. Once u miner, always a
miner. The life Of a miner trains the
nerves of sacrifice and strengthens the
muscles of hope.
A dispatch was yesterday received
by w. T.. Sharon from Francis G.
N9wlands in New York, where he has
been in consultation with John w.
Mackay with regard to their mutual
interests on the Comstock, which an
ounces that Mr.. Mackay is in favor
of the resumption Of pumping on the
Comstock lode for the exploration of
many points Of interest, where they
themselves had looked forward to for
paying ore. The dispatch further ar
ounce that there will be a reduction
in milling, transportation, wood and
water charges. and ageneral reorgani-
zation that will enable the stock
holders to behold more work under
meath and less filligree on top, and by
such means to bring within the profit
able line of reduction millions of tons
OF ore now in sight.
This is good news. This is news that
has been expected by the better-in-
formed class Of our people. The
miners know that with intelligence,
Industry and confidence the prosperity
Of the Comstock is assured for many
years; they have delved in the depths;
they have been there; there are few
that do not carry stocks; they know
intuitiveIy and from experience that
ore in large and paying quantities is
likely to be encountered at any mo-
moment; they have mure faith than
anybody else, and they base it upon
their superior knowledge and advan
tRGes Of observation.
This information is authoritative,
aud upon it we may expect a renewed
lease Of life, granted by that spirit Of
speculation which downs at no bid
ding.-Enterprise.

Now is the Time.

The most active and progressive
citizens of Texarkana are earnestly
interested in pushing forward to a
successful conclusion the excellent
prospect for railway line from this
city to a navigable point Oh Sulphur
river. We have conversed with n
number Of prominent men on this
subject and find them practically
unanimous in opinion ON the impor-
tance and desirabllity, locally and gen
orally, of the proposed road. That
the road will be built we nave little
doubt, and as it appears to us the
great desideratum is time, there being
none like the present for all undertak-
ings Of this character. Let us
strike while the iron of pub
lie favor and approval is hot.
Now is the accepted time, in the Com
mercial existence Of Texarkana, to
change it from young struggling
city to a great jobbiug and mercantile
centre, and this wonderful metamor-
phosis can be accomplished at one
stroke by the building Of this road,
thereby supplying us with an outlet
for agricultural products, and giving
us direct transportation by navigation
and competing rates from number Of
desirable points and opening up to
local trade great scope Of fertile
country, rich in timber and other ex-
cellent resources. These are our rea-
sons for building the road, NOW.
