Sees Better Times Ahead.

CHICAGO, August 2.-President Reinhart
of the Santa Fe, in speaking of the general
situation said:
Eyes, it is true traffic has fallen off very
much lately, but men in whose hands lie the
management of the great railroads of the
country foresaw it would do SO many months
ago and began to prepare for it then. The
reduction in expenses in all directions has
kept pace with the reduction in the traffic
and while the gross earnings may have de-
creased largely in many cases, it will be
found that the net earnings on most of the
roads are as large as they ever have been.
SIN my opinion the present depression will
be short lived. By the end of September
you will see glut in the money market and
the industries of the country will resume
their wonted activity. l do not think there
is anything to be particularly alarmed about
in the present railroad situation"

No Mors currencx for tn. West.

New YORK, August 5.-The banks have
shut down in the shipment of currency to
the interior. The scarcity of currency has
become so pronounced that the agents are
bidding the premium $40 per thousand. The
institutions with large payrolls have been
compelled to resort largely to the use of
silver.
An uptown bank is reported to have paid
per cent. for all currency received at the
big retail mercantile houses.
Banks generally are requesting depositors
to use checks as much as possible, and when
the cash is required are paying out large
proportion in silver dollars.
Supply bills at the sub-treasury are grow
ing limited, and caused the refusal on the
part of the sub-treasury to receive checks
from banks in payment of silver dollars and
currency for the shipment and payroll use.
At the stock exchange money on call is OBJ
tainable at 1905 per cent. Time money
and mercantile paper are neglected. The
sub-treasury was $273, 200 debtor to the clear
Ing house, and paid its difference in gold.
The loan committee of the clearing house
issued 81 100000 more certificates, making
the total outstanding $31 ,850, 900.

Second Day Of Court M.r.,.,.

IA the eourt martial did not at ito first
days session decide the point raised by Colo
mel Hughes attorneys, as to General Sears
being competent to preside over the court,
that question was further argued upon as
sembling the second day.
The point made was that, as General Kim
ball was alive and had not resigned the ap-
pointn,cnt of Genearl Sears was void, as
there was no vacancy existing.
The court finally decided that this point
was not well taken and that General Sears
would continue to preside.
Captain Waters, then addressed the court
and asked that the two last charges be stricken
from the complaint, because they were not
In accordance with the facts. The word
enemy being used when in fact there was
40 enemy. He argued that there can be no
enemy to the government unless war has
been declared, and that there having been
40 proclamation of civil war, there was no
snemy. The time until noon was consumed
by the lawyers on both sides talking about
the word enemy and trying to decide what it
meant
The court spent the rest of the day in ex-
ecutive session to decide whether the last two
charges should be stricken out, finally decid-
ing to override the motion.
1t is estimated that the cost of this trial
will reach SIPS day III per diem of officers
and witnesses, exclusive of mileage.

The Pope's Coming Address.

ROME, August 4.-The pope has been en-
gaged for some months upon an encyclical
to all the rulers in Christendom. 1t is said
that this encyclical call will be sent to each
of the Christian powers in the language of
that power and not to all in Latin.
The following are extracts from the encyc-
lical: The social question should be placed
on religious basis if we would obtain at
once philosophical and practical solution
of the difficulty.
Atheism and departure from the Christian
faith are the great aids and stimulants of an
archy and socialism. The Christian faith
alone is the bulwark of social order. Where
Christian institutions and customs are not
maintained in state, there must be disor-
der, bewilderment and decay.
At this moment Europe is in the throes of
an immense upheaval of society, in which
one violent struggle succeeds another un-
ceasingly. In many cases the reason is to
be found in the fact that the legislation has
not been duly enacted; for every person
should have his legitimate part in the bene-
fits of society, according to the order of
providence.
The state of unrest is not confined to the
working classes, properly so-called. 1t has
taken rOOI ana Is bearing neldrlOuS 1rulI III
the more cultivated part of society.
A strike can be justified only as a means
of defense when an individuals interest is
attacked. Never can it be justified as col
lective arm of aggression. If the discon-
tented operative is to be detached from
anarchy and socialism his wants must be
understood by his rulers, who must now
leave to INSCRIPTIONS agitators the monop-
oily of social reform. The potency of relig-
ion and charity opposes an insurmountable
obstacle to the dangerous movement which
human force and human repression can
onlysmake more grave.
The right of protecting the operative,
whether in the factory or in the field, should
be admitted. And for this purpose the max
imum of labor, as we'll as the minimum of
salary should be arranged, giving the atten-
ton to days of rest and abstention from la
Dor.

SILVER CROWD.
Delegates See a Conspiracy
for Gold.
Some Of Them Hot and Talk About Re-
course to Arms-Repeal of Silver
Purchase Must Have a Salts
factory Coupling.

CHICAGO, August 2.-The great silver con-
vention will likely get through and adjourn
tonight.
The silver delegates only see great con.
spirHcy on the part of the gold lenders of
England and Germany, aided and abetted
BY lesser capitalists, their vassals of Wall
street, to make gold the only recognized in
ternational coin metal of the world and 20
ubjugate the United States to the financial
control of the country from which she
wrested her autonomy years ago, Great
Britain. 1t is the opinion too of the dele
gates now assembled that this conspiracy
should be finally met and the enemy prompt
~ routed and some of them grow hot enough
ut times to intimate if legislation should be
inefficient, recourse to arms might prove a
salutary remedy. Populists, greenbackers
and free silver men seem to be united on
one programme. That, the repeal of the
Sherman purchasing act must be resisted to
last unless there be coupled with it the act
for free coinage of silver for greater volume
of currency.
Green5acker and populist, who believe
bat of the government is as potent to make
q dollar out of strip of green paper, as it
Is TO make dollar of 20 cents of silver, are of
course not particular whether the legislation
to be substituted for the Sherman act shall
be free coinage or government greenbacks,
but for the sake of showing a solid front
against the common enemy, monometalists,
they will unite with free coinage in a con-
certed resistance to the Cleveland policy,
unless a greater volume of currency be is
sued to meet the stringency of the financial
situation. In this programme are found
united Republican Congressman Bartine, of
Nevada, Democrat "Silver Dollar" Warner,
of Ohio, Populist Kolb, of Alabama, and all
their respective followers.

SILVER PLATFORM.
Four Demands Emphatically
Made.
Nc Compromise; Coinage, 16 to i, the Only
Present Remedy; No Repeal Except Ri
Metallic Coinage is Restored; Silver
Act Has Prevented CalamitieS.

The committee on resolutions of the silver
convention at Chicago reported four planks:
First-There must be no compromise on
this question: and we protest against the
| financial policy of the United States being
made dependent upon the opinions or poll
cies of any foreign government; and assert
| the power of this nation to stand on its own
feet and legislate for itself upon all subjects.
Second-We assert that the only remedy
for our metallic financial troubles is to open
the minis of the nation to gold and silver on
equal terms at the old ratio, 16 of silver to
Ct gold. Whenever silver bullion can be
exchanged at the minis of the United
States for legal tender silver dollars, worth
100 cents each, that moment 41215 grains of
standard silver will be worth 100 cents.
Third-The repeal of the Sherman act with
out the restoration of free coinage would still
further break down the price of products of
farmer and laborer, mechanics and trades
men, and plunge still farther all commerce,
business and industry into such depths and
wretchedness as to endanger peace, order,
preservation of free institutions and the very
maintenance of civilization. We, therefore,
in the name of the republic and of humanity,
protest against the repeal of the said act of
1880, except by an act restoring free BIZ
metallic coinage as it existed prior to 1873.
Fourth-We assert the unparalleled calam-
itiea which now affiict the people are not due
to the so-called Sherman act, and we are
convinced that bad as is the state of affairs,
it would have been still worse but for the
Sherman act, by which the nation has OBJ
tanned, to some extent, an expanding circu-
lation, and we insist upon the execution of
the law without evasion as long as it is upon
the statute books, to the end that the monthly
addition to circulation, which the law Sc
cures, shall be maintained.

A Balcony Breaks.

BosToN, August 5.-An accident occurred
at the boat house of the Chelsea Yacht club,
on dway and Chelsea, near the Charles

the balcony directly over the musicians
heads. Suddenly the balcony gave way and
the occupants were thrown upon the pier
and many of them into the water. Three
were killed, including the leader of the band.
Others were more or less injured.

August May Show Improvement.

TOPEKA, August 7.-Treasurer Wilder, of
the Santa Fe, states that the financial affairs
of the road are not in the bad condition re-
ported. The general business depression
has affected the Santa Fe in common with
other roads, and there has been a reduction
in the mechanical and labor departments in
order to keep the expenditures within the
receipts. The recent increase of $1,000 in
taxes made by the board of railroad asses
sors was hard blow to the company, COM
ing, as it did, when business of all kinds was
suffering a decline. Freight receipts have
fallen off materially within the past two
months, and the passenger traffic is not what
was anticipated. 1t is thought the month of
August will show an improvement.

The Court Martial Proceeds.

There was nothing accomplished on the
third day of the trial of Colonel Hughes.
Sundry motions to set aside; and objections
to questions in evidence, consumed the day
in arguments.
Governor Lewelling was the first witness
called, and he gave testimony relative to his
orders to Colonel Hughes.
He was prevented from answering any
questions on cross-examination, through OBJ
iections by Judge Advocate Doster, which
were sustained by the court; the decisions
being in effect that the court had no power
to call in question the motives of the COM
mander-in- chief.
Adjutant General Artz was called, his evil
dence being of an official and perfunctory
character, giving nothing but what is gener-
ally known.

Tramps Rob a Kansas Farmer.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, August 1.-Two men
went to the home of Thomas Curry, a mar
ket gardener living near Muncie, Kan, nine
miles west of this city, and told pitiable
have been miners in Colorado. He took
them in and gave them good dinner. When
they had finished eating one of the men drew
a revolver and told him that if he did not
get them his money they would kill him.
During the recent bank furry Curry drew
800 from the bank and had this, with $50. in
his clock. This money he was compelled to
give up, and the men left for Kansas City.

Range Cattle Selling Welt

KANSAS CITY, KAN, August 8.-If the
market at the yards is not what the ''boys"
would like to see it, it is not near so bad as
half the people would have one believe.
There were 101 cars of range cattle on the
yards, and, notwithstanding this heavy sup
ply, there was a fair demand and prices
ruled fully as we'll as this time last year,
when the country was full of money and
loans easily obtained. And as for the man
ner of payment it is just as good as in Chi
cago, and the trade at the yards is standing
up under the panic as we'll as any point IL:
the country.

quite ready. When Mr.. Cleveland gets back
we will submit the plan of the opening as to
where lines will run and county seats be 10
Gated, and as soon as he approves it, about
which there will probably be no delay, he will
issue his proclamation and name a day for
the opening. No, l can't say anything about
where county lines will run. That must be
left until after / see Mr.. Cleveland. All
can say is that, bar Unforeseen accidents, we

Irishmen of Chicago have taken off their
coats and gone earnestly to work to

his associate priests would stir up the Irish
people of Indiana, and he was confident that
the Irish priests all over the United States

Porkers Down a Notch.

KANSAS CITY, KAN, August 5.-The break
in the price of hogs was the absorbing topic
at the yards. Nothing like it had ever be-
fore been seen on the market here. Hogs
declined from so cents to 1.25 per cwt. in a
few hours. The market was simply panicky,
a reflex of the Generalization in the provi-
sion market Tuesday, resulting from the col
lapse of pork and lard corners in Chicago.
The bulk of the sales were A(0450, against
A.65@5.3O Tuesday and S575@5.90 same
time last year. A number refused to accept
the decline, looking for reaction with the
quoting of the provision market, which was
better and is expected to improve more.

Bonds for Currency.

WASHINGTON, D. c., August S.-The regis
ter's office of the treasury is in receipt of
numerous consignments of 4 per cent. United
States bonds for exchange into smaller de-
nominations. The amount thus exchanged
during the past three days aggregated more
than 81 100000. The bonds were turned into
bonds of the denomination of $50 and 500.
This same state of affairs, it is recalled at
the treasury, took place shortly after the
war, when large denomination bonds were
exchanged into smaller denominations and
passed current as money in general business.
