Mr.. de Navarro,s Plan.

New York people are nothing if not
modest. Mr.. Jose F. de Navarro sets
forth in The Forum his plan for the
keeping of gold and silver at parity.
Briefly it is to have sliding scale of sill
yer values for United States money, con-
trolled from day to day by the price of
silver bullion in the gold market. A
silver commission would settle every day
at what rate the United States govern
ment should pay out silver next day for
the redemption of silver notes, when it
came to the pinch where the treasurer
would have to redeem the silver notes in
silver instead of gold.
The three commissioners should be ap-
pointed by the United States govern
ment, but they should be proposed-and
here is where the characteristic modesty
of New York comes in-one by the New
York chamber of commerce, another by
the New York banks clearing house
and the third by the New York Stock
Exchange. How this jiggle joggle scale
would work in the paying of wages
and the purchase of dry goods and gro
ceries Mr.. de Navarro does not take the
trouble to explain very fully. He would,
however, have the monthly purchases of
silver by the government stopped, there
being in his judgment a sufficient sup
ply now on hand. He explains his idea
thus:
The United States legal tender silver notes
now In circulation are payable on demand at
all the subtreasuries either in gold or silver
coin at the option OF the government. The sec
rotary Of the treasury Is recommended in the
act to pay them in gold as long as he thinks il
prudent, and he has always done So but since
he began the price of silver has been steadily
going down, from about ~ cents 10 "a cents for
the standard silver dollar. and people realize
now that the secretary will be compelled soon
TO pay them In silver In order to keep the gold
In the treasury. Now, my remedy is simply to
amend this act of July a. 1890, by adding that
when paid in silver the notes shall be paid on a
gold basis, reckoning the silver at the govern
ment's gold price on the day Of payment, ms
nxed by commission to be appointed under
the act.
To take an example Of silver conversion:
banker wishes TO transfer TO Europe 81, OO0,000
oy shipment Of specie in lieu of exchange and
decides TO send gold. He takes a certified check
OF sl,"oOo to the treasury to get the gold, as
usual, but the secretary, contrary TO his Gus
TOM decides TO pay 1t In silver and hands him
silver check Of 81 .562, 500 at o. cents-slO00,-
90 gold. The banker may decide to ship the
silver, but II not he goes to his bullion broker
and gets 100000 gold by paying him with the
silver check and in addition u per cent COM
mission 500 making a Ioss Of u per cent
instead OF loss OF % per cent as under the
present law. The treasurer viii always be
ready TO buy his own silver checks at the same
days price. and this will complete the above
double transaction. This one example en-
braces all the transactions possible ever TO hap
pen-namely, payment Of notes In silver and
puroneses OF silver In notes. 49,

FASHIONS FANCIES.

The shops are already making a dis
play of the serviceable castor or so called
washing gloves with good sized but
tons at the wrists.
-Four stout figures are shown some
very gracefully made princess dresses
in rich clinging summer silks, veilings,
bengalines, fancy striped and dotted
surahs and plain india and victoria reps.
There are host of lovely summer
novelties among the goods opened to
view this week, and if one can Judge by
the present exhibit of new toilets shirr-
ing and gauging are to be quite as pop
ular as ever.
Among the pretty toilets for afternoon
wear for next season are glace silks and
shot foulards and taffetas in pompadour
or old chintz pattern made up not upon
crinoline Innings at all, but over inexpen-
sive silks or batistes.
Diamonds and other gems studded
about in the hair are still in high vogue.
Most women choose a star, crescent or
floral device, the color Of the leaf and
blossom being represented by jewels Of
hue matching each.
Crinoline except in the hands of a
skilled dressmaker has most inartistic
and awkward effect. Many Of the new
Easter gowns" were spoiled by the in
PRODUCTION of this lining, the exact line
where it ceased just below or above the
knee being plainly visible.-New York

The st. Joseph Herald thinks there
Is no longer any doubt that there is to
be an extra session of congress in Sep
TENDER. The only matter that is in
doubt is whether there is to be called
session before that time. The presi-
dent recently told a member of con-
gIess, who called upon him for informa-
ton as to the reports relative to Sep
tember session, stating that it was of
the utmost Importance to him in max
Ing business arrangements that he
should know, that there certainly
would be an extra session in September.
In response to the direct inquiry
whether or not congress would be
convened before that time, the presi-
dent replied that that had not been
decided, and the decision would de-
pend upon events. The congressman
asked whether the information was to
be regarded as private, or whether it
could be made public. She president
answered that it was public, and that
congress and the people had the right
to know that an extra session in the
fall had been determined upon. That
this conversation had occurred, and
was of the nature indicated, there can
be no doubt. The September date
fixed is understood to be the 18th. The
administration expects to be ready at
that time to proceed with the consid-
GRAFTON of a tariff bill. The free
traders, David A. Wells and j. Dewitt
Warner, are now engaged upon it.

CANADIAN PACIFlCS PURCHASE

The Seattle Post-Intelligencer pub
lished an article in its yesterdays issue
concerning the purchase of the Bell
ingham Bay & British Columbia rail-
road by the Canadian Pacific company
which, if it turns out to be correct
statement, will prove of great import
ance to the interests of Bellingham
bay. Such a deal on the part of the
Canadian Pacific entirely shuts off all
communication between the Bay and
Northern Pacific road, except by
steamer, and will necessitate the latter
road building in from Wickersham to
either New Whatcom or Fairhaven,
the rumor having already gained con-
siderable strength, since the Pills
article, that the Northern Pacific Off
Gals saw the probability of such a
movement some time ago, and have
been preparing to meet it. Further
than this, it has been suggested that
the Canadian Pacifics purchase will
have the effect of quickening the Great
Northern's movements on the Bay.
With the Canadian and Northern
Pacific roads both stretching out their
hands for the growing traffic of the
Bay, and the Great Northern waking
up to the necessity Of taking some de-
cided step towards preventing its rivals
from getting the lions share of the
trade, it begins to look as though the
summer months will not be so very far
spent before railroad construction on
large scale is under way. With the
Northern Pacific building in from
.Wickersham, the Cornwall company
at work opening its new mine, the
Blue Canyon company constructing its
proposed line from the lake and the
Great Northern putting in the cutoff
around the water front, the face of
nature would wear different appear
ance to the residents of the Bellingham
bay cities.

Outdoor Work For Women.

Mary E. Spencer writes for The Globe
Democrat paper on this subject. 1t is
so full of the flavor of ripe strawberries,
the hum of bees and the perfume of honey
and roses as to make one long for the
fullness Of life that comes only from ex-
istence passed in the open air. Mrs.
Spencer believes that it would be for the
improvement of the race all round if
women and girls went into flower and
small fruit culture and lived more out
doors. She says:
Our homes will be more Astounding in health,
and society will be the better for womanly in
dependence. A woman who fears TO do what
