compromise famous to the country
would be effected in congress re-
garding the disposition Of the silver
question. There Is likelihood of
the Faulkner measure being adopted
which provides for the monthly pur-
chase and coinage of $4,000, 900
until the aggregate amount of silver
in circulation reaches $500, 000, 600,
all paper denominations below $50

they would vote for such CON-
promise which would carry the

some over generous citizen of this
town who is putting in his time
grooming tine Walpole political
horse has made the statement that
year ago Bessemer gave majority
to the populist ticket and therefore
is not entitled to republican patron
age. Whata stupid argument to be
sure. 1t would be astonishingly far
fetched even if true, but it is true
only in part. The fact is Bessemer
gave majority to every candidate
on the republican legislative, state
and county ticket, and a majority
only to the populist national ticket
because the democratic electors
were withdrawn and enough demo-
Gratis voted for Mr.. Weaver to turn
the tide for the populists. Con-
gresham Bell also received n
majority. Mr.. Hawke will only he
benefited by such lame arg uments.
Cash Henderson is very likely to
get the nomination for county clerk
without opposition. The fact is
Cash has made an efficient and
worthy official and his re-nomina-
tion would not only please his re-
publican constituency but his
many friends outside would be glad
to see him again in the field as
candidate As his own successor.
Cash has made host of friends
among the citizens of the county
who as jurors or witnesses have held
claims against the county iu the
shape of bills or certificates. These
papers Mr.. Henderson had cashed
at once, thereby saying to the holders
from 10 to 10 per cent that usually
went to the greedy speculator who
used to hang about the court house
to share the documents. His
action on this matter is much
talked of and will be II big leverage
i'll securing the nomination.

-, ASSEMBLY BILL NO. "a.

This was famous bill. It caused
much excitement about the Capitol
and among members Of the Assembly
on the day after the adjournment OF
the Legislature. It stands reported
to the Assembly and recorded upon
the Assembly Journal ns enrolled and
delivered u the Governor. The en-.
rolling clerks make affidavit that they
never enrolled it, nor were requested
TO enroll it. The Governors Private
Secretary makes affidavit that it was
never received in the Governors Of
flea.
1t was bill to cut down the sal
aries OF the deputy State officers dur
ing their term OF Office, and il it had
become law would have reduced
their salaries in the aggregate in the
next two years $1,000.
This bill and the wrangle it pro-
duced caused ten days extra session
of the Legislature at cost of about
$500 per day, aggregating $1,000.
During the extra ten days Of the
Legislature Caused by this billy about
S2O,OOO OF unnecessary appropriations
were made for tho people to pay in
taxes during hard times resulting
from a great depression in business
and mining interests in this State.
Through the blunders OF the As
sembly and its committees the bill
never became law. 1t never reached
the Governor. It was never enrolled
or delivered to the enrolling clerks;
but simply reported to the Assembly
as having been enrolled and delivered
TO the Governor.
The original bill is now in the Sec
rotary Of States Office. It's history is
endorsed upon the baok Of the bill.
A glance at its history shows that it
never passed both houses and never
was entitled to be enrolled or deliv-
cred to the Governor. 1t was never
engrossed, although it had riders at
tnched to it, two by the Senate and
six by conference committee. One
rider has been torn of and seven re-
main. No enrolling clerk could prop
erly enroll it in it's present condition.
The Assembly adopted the Senate
amendments, but only after the Sen
ate had receded from them. The
conference committee reported six
amendments, the Senate adopted
them; but the Assembly did not
adopt them.
The following Is the official history
OF the bill now in the Office of the
Secretary OF State, which speaks for
itself:

An Importnnt Industry.

Very few outside of its own local
ity are aware that the place where
all the canceling and dating stamps
used in the postoilices throughout
the United States is located in
Northumberland county, Va. AT
Lodge, on the Yeocomico River, is
a little town whose inhabitants are
almost entirely dependent upon this
industry for their livelihood. There
the malleable iron castings in the
rough are dressed, mortised, and,
by hands almost as skilled as the
engravers, each letter is tediously
chiseled, then tempered, hardened
and polished. Here also are the
type for the mortises made, as are
also the familiar postage DUE"
"Unclaimed,' and other stamps.
The furnishing of these stamps is
annually let to contract by the gov
eminent. Hon. Benjamin Cham
bers is the present contractor and
has been for years, as was his father
before him. Annually competitors
from all parts of the union arise, but
so far his prices and superior work.
manship have stood him in good

THE LOWEST EVER KNOWN.
Cash Wheat on the Chicago Market
Breaks the Minimum Record.

CHICAGO, June S.-Wheat on the
board of trade here to-day reached
the lowest point ever touched in
the history of this market. August
Is, 1887, after the collapse of the
Kershaw corner, cash wheat was
quoted at 66&c. To-day it sold at
63c.
The trade was exceedingly bearish
and the news of the forenoon added
to the depression. The heavy local
houses which had been operating on
the bull side for some days had all
turned bears, pouring a flood of offer-
ings into the PIT with acomparative-
ly light demand, except from shorts
buying to take their profits and from
the heavier houses taking back their
property on the breaks. To add to
the decentralization one of the heaviest
of New York's wholesale grocery
houses was reported as having failed.
st. Louis and the Northwest were
sellers in this market and the Mis-
souri, crop report showed a decided
advance in the condition of wheat.
July opened at 66A to 81 cents,
against 665s cents at the close yes
terday, broke to 655s cents, worked
back to &C cents, slumped to 554
cents and closed at 655s cents.
