House committees which rarely ever
hold meeting or transact any bust
ness; and thus put itself on record as
favoring economy in public expendi-
lures no matter where the money is
spent, and also put itself in line with
| the administration which declared
war against sinecures from the first
day of its existence
Representative Holman since he be
came chairman of the House committee
on Indian Affairs has gone into the
subject of Indian expenditures with
his usual thoroughness. and he now
announces that material reductions
may be made in every direction with
out injury to the interests of either
the Indian or the government, and
further that he intends To see that
they are made in the appropriation
bill to be reported from his committee.
1t is fashionable to deride Mr.. Holman
and his economical ideas, but it is to
such men as he that the honor will
, belong of keeping the democratic party
from falling into the extravagant hab-
its which played so important part
in driving the republican party from
power. As President Cleveland has
truly said: ''The people of this coun-
trysmust learn to practice economy.
and the example must be set by the
government
Representative McCreary is losing
no opportunity to convince the mem
bers of.the House committee on Coin :

providing for the appointment of
joint Congressional and Commercial
monetary committee to investigate our
entire financial system and report
where and how improvements may be
made, of the necessity of reporting it
favorably to the House The commit
tee is still considering the bill.
Representative Bynum has a bill
providing for graduation income tax,
which he proposes to use his best ef-
forts to get reported to the House
and passed.
The House will tomorrow take up
the Tucker bill for the repeal of the
Federal election laws and the debate
thereon will be continued until Octo-
ber 9th, when vote will be taken.
the majority in favor of the bill will
be precisely that of the democrats on
the floor the day the vote is taken, as
it will receive every democratic vote
in the House, and it is not probable
that any democrat will be absent that
day unless necessarily compelled to be.
Secretary Gresham. who is now in
Indiana, is not enjoying his usual good
health, and he proposes going to Cali
fornia shortly to remain six or seven
weeks. hoping that the change will be
beneficial.

The Chicago exhibition must be like
some scenery which, being too vast for
the human eye to follow, OF itself de-
stroys the impression Of beauty and
leaves nothing but vague astonish-
ment as much mixed with pain as pleas
ure. 1t is no more possible to see it as
whole than to see any other district COW
cred with houses, and it is difficult even
TO visit it, for no one, not even an Eng
hshman, can walk the distances. The
. Topography has to be learned, like that
Of some great city, and the artificial
means of conveyance are all crowded
beyond their power. Houses without
end, statues without nurnher, distinctive
flags in thousands, beautiful and curious
objects in myriads. spectators In droves,
roar as of London at midday, q hurry
as Of men catching the morning trains
can all that tend to make the attention
which all are summoned to pay Of the
slightest value for their future hoursa II
the visitors enjoy it, well and good. The
enjoyment is not vicious, though it is
low. But for the result, the man who
has himself rowed out a mile into Lake
Michigan and there thinks Of all he has
escaped and its meaning will obtain far
more.-London Spectator.

Repeal of the Sherman Law.

Mr.. ]. Sterling Morton of Nebraska,
Secretary Of Agriculture, has been talk
ing about the Populists and the silver
fanatics and the prospect of the repeal
of the Sherman law. Mr.. Morton thinks
the Populists have seen their best days,
and will never make much stir again in
politics. Mr.. Morton believes the Sher-
man law will be repealed, but not uncon-
ditionally. The condition which Nj,
Morton thinks will be attached to the re-
peal will be the removal of the ten per
cent. tax on State banks. In other words
he believes the Democrats of the West
and South will be willing to shut down
ON the coinage of silver for awhile, if the
people of the States are left free to issue
an unlimited amount Of State bank cur
rency. This is much less rosy view of
the situation than we have been getting
from the newspaper editors of Demo
cratic persuasion, who have been sound

ing congressman on the subject
of the repeal of the Sherman law,
and we are inclined to think rather
more correct one. 1t does not necessa-
rily follow that his view is the one en-
tertained by Mr.. Cleveland, but it affords
strong presumption in that direction.
We fail to see how the financial situa-
ton will be improved by repeating the
Sherman law and then turning loose upon
the country flood of questionable bank
notes. At the foundation of bad times
or financial panics is always want of con-
fidence. 1t may be want of confidence
in the outlook of business, or it may be
want of confidence in the medium
through which business is transacted.
While either remains business prosperity
is next to impossible. Our silver cur
rency may be one of the elements of the
present want of confidence, though that
is by no means so certain as it is as
sumed to be in certain quarters. But if
it is the situation will certainly not be
improved by substituting for it an issue
of State bank bills based on securities of
all sorts and sizes. On the other hand it
will be made worse. If therefore Con-
gress can be relied upon to do nothing
better than repeal the Sherman law on
condition that the State banks be re-
vived as banks of issue. the greatest
kindness Mr.. Cleveland can do the coun-
try is to postpone the coming together
of that body as long as possible.

The Argus informs its readers that
neither Mr.. Cleveland nor his party ever
proposed free trade in manufactured ar
ticles such as are produced in this
country. Then the last platform of the
Democratic party which pronounced pro-
lection unconstitutional, said it was rob-
berry, and averred that it was antagonis-
tic to the fundamental principles of the
Democratic party was humbug, mere
wind. 1t meant simply that the protec-
ton of natural products like wool and
hay and iron ore was robbery, while the
protection Of manufactured goods
was all right. Protection was to be de-
MED to the farmer, the fisherman and
the miner, but was to be given freely to
the manufacturer. The Argus took
good care not to avow this programme
before election. faS1F

Archbishop of Lepanto will 60 on over
ruling the decisions of the conservatives
about the schools, giving Catholic pa
rents liberty to send their children

THE PRESS.
TUESDAY, JUNE 27.

One of the most tireless spoilsmen
which this administration has produced
is the Hon, Josiah Quincy of Massachu-l
sets, assistant Secretary of State. His
friends have been taken care of, as have
the friends of no other officer of the adj
ministration, thanks to his keen and sleep
less watchfulness. Yet Mr.. Quincy before
he came. into the possession of patronage
was considerable of Mugwump, and
used to descant eloquently on the beau
ties of civil service reform and the wick
edness of using public Office to pay pri-
political and personal friends. Theo-
ret1cally a reformer, practically he is the
worst spokesman of them all.

The foolish talk about boycotting the
Worlds Fair because OF its opening on
Sunday seems to have fallen into innocu-
Gus desuetude. Bishop Fowler of the
Methodist church strongly disapproyed
of the Sunday opening, but he just as
strongly disapproves of the boycott
movement, wisely and justly saying that
whether person shall attend the fair on
week days or keep away from it should
be left to the individual conscience. The
least oppostions on Sabbatarian grounds
to the opening of the Fair on Sunday
comes from those most fully acquainted
with the conditions that prevail in Chi
cage, while the strongest is made by
those least familiar with them.

who claims to he in a position to know,
said yesterday that Congressman w. j.

making preparations for the visit of q
large number of the workingmen of
Cleveland to the Columbian exposition
at Chicago. With characteristic gen
erosity Mr.. White will run number of
excursion trains to Chicago, and such
of Cleveand's worlSingmen who are
unable to bear the necessary expense
of attending. will be afforded transpor-
tation gratuitously and given pleas
ant entertainment at the fair
Congressman White has already Wis
tied the fair at three different times
and is thoroughly impressed with the
benefit to be derived by the working
men from trip through the mammoth
grounds and institution. In addition
to this, Mr.. White will send all of his
employees to- the fair, bearing the ex-
pense of transportation and while in
the city, and also paying them full
salaries for the time lost.

One Hundred and Thirty Men Entombed
In II Yorkshire COlliery-Terrible Seemed
at the Mouth of the Pit.
LONDON, July 5.-Great excitement
has been caused in Thornhill, York
shire, by an explosion that occurred
yesterday in Ingram's colliery. One
hundred and thirty miners are en-
tombed and it is feared that the loss of
life will be heavy. Rescuing parties
are hard at work, and four bodies have
been recovered and brought to the
surface. The pit is badly blocked by
the fallen rock. dirt and timbers and the
progress of the rescuing parties is
therefore slow. 1t is feared that the
men who escaped death in the eXplo-
sion of fire-damp will be suffocated by
the choke-damp unless speedily res
cued.
The scenes usual at the pit mouth in
the case of mining accidents are being
repeated in Thornhill, and consider
able trouble is experienced in keeping
those having relatives and friends in
the mine from interfering with the
work of the rescuers.
Last evening the gas had cleared
sufficiently to allow the work of rescue
to proceed, but only for short time.
About 10 are supposed to have been
killed. The men and boys missing
number 145 The bodies were found
lying In heaps and many We're brought
to the surface.

with booming of cannon and the

place of anchorage. The Norsemen
were met and escorted to the harbor
by large fleet of yachts, the steamer

ROBBERS CAUGHT.
Two Members OF the Notorious Starr Gang

at Colorado Springs.

Two Members of the Notorious Starr Gang
OF Burglars and Train Robbers Captured
at Colorado Springs.
DENVER, Col, July 5.-Informatiop
has been received here from Colorado
Springs that Henry Starr and Kid Will
son, two members of the notorious Starr
gang of train and bank robbers, who
have caused the death of n dozen men
and terrorized the Indian Territory and
Arkansas for months were arrested
there on,Nlonday. The men arrived at
the Spaulding house at a late hour Sun
day night with Mrs. Starr. They regis
tered as Frank johnson and John Will
learning who the two men were, were
afraid to approach them outright and
attempted to get the outlaws in po-
sition to shoot on sight But they sep
arated, Henry Starr going into the cof-
fee restaurant. The police followed
him, and Marshal Dana caught one
arm and Matt Wright another. De-
tective Atkinson covered him with a
pair of siX-shooters. He gave in with
out struggle, but said to them: 'It
is good thing you got the drop on me
or there would have been some corpses
around here"
The same officers then went to Colo
RADIO City and captured Kid Wilson, an
other of the gang. He was armed with
a 45-caliber gun and would have made
desperate resistance if the officers
had not first got the drop on him.
When the men were brought to Jail
an attempt was made to interview
them but without success. After the
arrest the officers went down to the
Spaulding house and woke up the wo-
man who was registered Mrs. jackson,
but who is really the wife of Starr.
She is is years old and rather pretty.
She said she was married to Starr
about six months ago and that her
home was about 200 miles east of here.
a search of the room was made, and
under the pillow was found 81, 400 i'll
gold which had never been used and
$500 in gold was found in a purse. She
also carried pearl-handled revolver of
3S-caliber. She was closely questioned
and admitted that the man who was
captured was Henry Starr and the
name of the other man was Kid Will
son. With the money the men had up
on them fully $4,000 was recovered
There is reward of $4,000 for their
canturp
