The condition of the Lincoln monu-
ment at Springfield, ILL.,, as depicted by
the Chicago Evening Journal, is not only
reflection upon the association which
has this memorial structure in charge,
but upon the state of Illinois, which,
year after year, has neglected to adopt
measures for its proper protection and
preservation. 1t is shocking to the
grateful reverence of the American peo-
pie for the name and fame of Abraham
Lincoln that such vandalism should be
perpetrated upon his immortal memory,
but it is not cause for very great sur
prise, in view of the political degeneracy
of that state that has become painfully
manifest the last year or two. Such
things did not occur-were not permit

Each generation has-they say
A skeleton to hide;
And when it's buried out of sight
Why not the death abide?
Why resurrect the sad mistakes,
OF those who lived before?
Who biames the man who legislates
Against those hoops of yore?
With business slOw-decressipg-
How in the name of Sense,
He's going to buy dry goods enough,
The CHASTITY things to fence.
Six yards instead of forty,
Have kept him to the wall;
These horrid cores, ard crinoline,
Predict his eerly fall.
Twelve yards around the frock today
But yestere'en, twas two.
Next statement that the men will sift,
Is, whether it is true
That women have legal right
So oft to change their mind;
Or did some penny poet seek
A phrase to match with wind"
Yesterday, with skirt drawn tight,
A shadow scarce revealed;
Today, she tries to cover DER.
A forty-acre field!

Senator Chandler Discusses
the Situation With Parti-

WASHINGTON. April 23.-The presi-
dent said today: The inclination on
the part of the public to accept news
paper reports concerning the intentions
of those charged with the management
of our national finances seems to justify
my emphatic contradictions of the state
ment that the redemption of any kind
of treasury notes, except in gold, has at
any time been determined upon or con-
templated by the secretary of the treas
ury or any other member of the present
administration. The president aud his
cabinet are absolutely harmonious in the
determination to exercise every power
conferred upon them to maintain the
public credit, to keep the public faith
and to preserve the parity between gold
and silver and between all financial OBJ
legations of the government.
"While the law of 1890 forcing the
purchase of a fixed amount of silver
every month provides that the secretary
of the treasury, in his discretion, may
redeem in either gold or silver the
treasury notes given in payment for
silver purchases, yet the determination
of the policy of the government to
maintain the parity between the two
metals seems so clearly to regulate this
discretion as to dictate their redemption
il gold.
"Of course, perpleXity and difficulties
have grown out of an unfortunate
financial policy which we found IN
vogue, and embarrassments have arisen
from ill-advlSed financial legislation
confronting US at every turn; but, with
cheerful confidence among the people
and a patriotic disposition to cooperate,
threatened dangers will be averted
pending a legislative return to better
and sOunder financial plan. The strong
credit of the country is still umim-
paired. and the good sense of our peO-
pie, which has never failed in time Of
need, is at hand to save us from disas-
ter"

CHANDLER IS CAUsTIC.
Eothing Good Except That Bear
ing the Republican Stamp.

Nothing Good Except That Bear
ing the Republican Stamp.
WASHINGTON. April %. - Senator
Chandler has some positive views on
financial and other questions of the day.
Il can state the position l take in
single proposition he said. land that
is that the secretary of the treasury
should use the reserve if necessary and
not issue bonds unless he has to. This
large fund was made to be USED; that is
what it is there for, and it should be
called upon before any steps otherwise
should be taken. The law requires ma
tiOnal banks to retain 10 per cent of
their earnings as surplus to be used
in an emergency, and why should not
the government resort to the same pol
icy? l am afraid that gold will soon go
to a premium and the country be forced
to a silver basis"
When asked what effect the financial
situation would have upon the calling
of an extra session, Mr.. Chandler re-
piled that that question could best be
answered by the party now in power.
1.-The question of an extra session." he
said, depends entirely upon the pres
ent administration. whether it is broad
and large in Its contemplation of public
affairs, or small and inadequate; wheth-
er it shall inaugurate policy of hauling
down the flag, or whether it shall prove
courageous and strong. If it is strong
and has the courage for which some
people give it credit, Mr.. Cleveland will
call an extra session and seek the repeal
of the law of 1890. Whether congress
will or VIII not follow the advice of the
president in this matter, he can at least
place the responsibility upon congress.
In my opinion, Mr.. Cleveland will sure
ly go to ruin if he permits gold TO go to
premium rather than call an extra
session of congress.
Financial problems are not the only
ones we have to face, however. If the
proposed programme of tariff smashing
is to be conducted, the people who have
money invested IN protected and their
allied industries, will be exceedingly
shy about investing their capital; times
will, as a natural sequence, become
hard, and American wages will fall.
This will be the inevitable result of an
assault upon the tariff. 1t looks to me
as if the policy of Mr.. Cleveland was to
encourage foreign immigration, and
especially that of a Jewish character.
Certain recent acts of his surely point
in this direction. and the result Of such
q policy can but work to the disadvant-
age OF the labOring classes and the gen.
eral misfortune of the people. Unde-
sirable immigrants should be kept from
our shores, and the late legislation was
inlended to accomplish this result. In
view of recent acts of the administra-
tiOn, the act of congress leveled at this
evil bids fair to be negatiVed and made
OF no avail.

LONDON, April 23.-Orange riots broke
out in Belfast last night, and continued
until late this morning. The fighting
was especially severe in the notorious
Shankhill district. AT midnight an Orr
ange mob put out the street lights, and
shortly afterward attacked tavern
kept by Roman Catholic named Cons
nelly. They smashed in windows and
doors, looted the store rooms and
liquor vault, drove out Connolly
and his family, and endeav'
ored to burn down the build
ing. The police were out in force be-
fore they could get the fire we'll started.
drove the mob off and extinguished the
flames. The rioters then tried to invade
the Catholic quarters, where the Ma
tionalists were celebrating the second
reading OF the home rule bill by burn
ing tar barrels. A strong line of police.
men held them back. A crowd of Ma
tionalists gathered on the other side Of
the line and the two parties
Stoned Each Other Over
the heads of the constabes. The con.
fiict became so hot eventually that the
police were obliged to strike out on both
sides with their clubs, and to drive back
the two mobs by repeated charges. The
whole district was in such riotous
mood before o'clock that a company
from the Dorsetshire regiment was
brought up. Who ordered out the
military cannot be learned. The police
refused to accept their assistance, as
they contended they were able to cope
with the mobs. The military marched
away, and soon afterward the mobs
were dispersed by means of some heavy
clubbing. Twenty or more rioters were
arrested. Several more attempts were
made this morning to mob Nationalists,
but all were defeated by the police.
This evening the Orangemen are look
ing for another opportunity to fight Ma
tionalists. Two attempts have been
made to wreck Connolly's tavern, but
have been frustrated. Disorderly crowds
are still in the streets.

GRAND FORKS, n. d.. April 23.-The
Red River of the North is tonight forty
two feet seven inches above the low
water gauge. The rise has been just a
foot today, and this evening the water
is still creeping upward. For miles
north of this point the ice is still solid,
and gorge may form at any moment
which will flood million acres of the
Red river valley to tine depth of from
one to ten feet. A large number of
families of this city were today forced
to move by the encroaching flood. A
number of houses which formed a
portion of the settlement in the
rear of the Gotzian block were
carried down stream against the trestle-
work approach of the Great Northern
bridge. The pier of the draw of the
bridge is being filled with stone. For
the first time since the flood commenced
considerable quantities of wreckage,
small houses, barns, outbuildings,
trees, wood and carcaSses of dead ami
mails are floating down past the city.
The river is moving with a tremendous
current and is running off an immense
volume Of water. The Northern
Pacific people are removing cars from
submerged sidIngs by teams. The lower
cords of the Northern Pacific bridge are
under water. The ice still remains solid
in the Red Lake river, although at
various points up the river it is break
ing and gorging and making plenty of
trouble. A day or two of warm weather
is likely to have moving influence on
the ice. The weather is turning cold
again, and it is hoped that the inflow of
water from the Reds tributaries will be
checked

that many ships are being built. but it
was not known to what extent the Brit
ish navy would be strengthened this
year. The admiralty has decided that
within the next twelve months the fol-
lowing new ships are to be completed

year only one first-class battle ship, one
first-class cruiser and several smaller
vessels were completed and ready for
service.
