THE message Of the President sent to
the extraordinary session Of Congress on
It's assemblsge, Tuesday last, can be sum
married in a few words Repeal the
section Of the law that provides for the
monthly purchase Of 4, 10000 ounces Of
silver, and do il Quickly-This is the
whole gist Of that document. The bal
snce Of it is mere repetition Of argu-
ments in its favor, with Whici. every in
telligent newspaper reader is familiar.
The President puts the argument tersely
and forcibiy, but it contains nothing
new, and Is valuable only as showing
the position he occupies. and an assur-
snce 10 the country that he stands win

dent that our present financial troubles
are principally chargeable to Congress

and coinage Of silver by the general
government" but think that while II
may be one Of the causes, the main and
moving cause can be traced 10 the IN
certainty regarding future tsrifr legisla-
ton, and therefore deem as unfortunate

" Of It's Immediate and permanent i'm

engage the attention Of Congress The
COUNTRY knows OF and fesrs the threat

the president had remembered that "suf-

and refrsined from thus Pointedly call
ing public attention to the further threat

aess interests, il would have further
tended TO allay the present financial dis

fsetly assured that in this he will be us

publican representatives in Congress.

Refused an $500 600 Check.

The biggest and strongest bank in AmeTi-
ca could not pay in currency a sum demand
ed on Wednesday by one of the soundest
ard best OF its customers, a railroad corpo-
ration Of world vide fame. The New York
Central and Hudson River Railroad Compa-
ny, wishing to send out It's pay cars, needed
$4,000 in bills and asked the Chemical

Quinlan, cashier Of the Chemical Bank,
said:
We have simply declined to the extent
Of paying out $4,000 in currency, the
amount hitherto required by the company.
It is unreasonable to expect Us to supply so

Is the House the two wings Of the
Democratic party, on Friday last, agreed
upon q mode Of procedure on the silver
bill. It was agreed that the free silver
men shall first have an opportunity TO
vote upon free coinage at the present ra-
to Of l6 to l, then upon the ratios from
I6up to 20 10 1, then if they fail to carry
any of these a vote can be taken upon
the absolute repeal of the present silver
law, but the debate is to continue up un-
I'll August 2S.h before the final vote is
taken. In adopting this rule Of proceed
ure the Republicans were not considered,
and the previoi4s question being order
ed and sustained by the Democratic ma
jority, all debate or objections on part Of
the Republicans was denied. The time
allowed for Gehateis 70 be divided and
controlled by the two Democratic fac
tiuns, the Republicans getting such por-
ton OF it as the Democrats may gra-
ciously allow.

The Fair May Continue.

A Washington special says The pTopo-
sition to keep open the Columbian Worlds
exposition throughout the summer of 1894
found its wsy to Washington previous to the
opening of congress, but it had not been
suggested TO any members OF the Illinois
delegation. Senator Palmer said ne could
not talk intelligently upon proposition
concerning which he knew absolutely moth
ing.
Senator Gallon said he had heard such a
suggestion made in Chicago. bu. had moth
ingto say beyond the fact that he would sup
port any measure within reason which the
various boards Of the Fair and the people OF
Chicago might desire. Many members Of
congress favor keeping the Fair open for
another year.

A Radical Tariff Reforsner Named
for Governor of Ohio.


CoLUNBus. o. Aug. I0.-lawnencs T.
Neal, the man who played the sharp trick
on President Cleveland and secared the
adoption Of radical plank on the tariff last
year al Chiesgo, was nominated for Govern
or Of Ohio by the Democrats to-day b. ac-
clamation. There were very few speeches
and they were very short. and at noon the
convention was ready to ballot
The full ticket is as follows;
THE rIcKRr cHosES.
Governor-LAWRENCE T. NEAL, Of
chiHc1the.
Lieut. Gov.-coL. W. A. TAYLOR. OF
Columbus.
Treasurer.-B. c. BLACKBURN. OF
Coshoeion.
Atty. Gen.-JoHN P. BAILEY, of Pit
man county.
Member Board OF Public works-LoUIS
D. WILHELM, Of Akron.
Food and Dairy Commissioner-P. II.
McKEOwN, of Cincinnati.
The nomination Of Lawrence T. Neal for
Governor is regarded as blow to the Ad-
ministration. Not that Neal personally an
tagonizes President Cleveland, but his sup
porters were not of the Administration folIsw-
ing. while his opponents were.
Neal is not in accord with Cleveland on
the tariff, and on the financial question he
has never expressed himself fully. The
most definite declaration Neal has yet made
was in an interview last night in which
be said: Il am Democrat and stand on
the Chicago platform Neal was the author
OF the tariff plank and is in harmony with
it, but on the silver plank in that structure
be has not yet been heard from definitely.
Neal is a man Of high standing al home and
is well thought OF by Democrats throughout
Ohio. he is a fine campaign orator.

Taking His Wife to Chicago on a
Wheelbarrow.

JAxEsvILLE Wis, August l0.-The peo-
pie living Oh the outskirts Oftbis place were
much sstonished and amused yesterday TO
see man and woman going through the
streets in q novel fashion. The woman was
perched on a wheeIbarrow which the man
was pushing ahead with grim determine
ton to arrive at their destination in time.
This destination was Chicago and the two
had made Up their minds to see the great
Fair in some way. TIE couple is Mr and
Mrs. Bobschyelis. of this county. They are
welltO-do people, owning a good farm in
this vicinity. i seems that last year Mr..
Bobscbyeile got behind with his wheat crop,
owing 10 the simultaneous leaving of his
laborers because Of the poor fare provided
for them, which they declared not sufficient
for their subsistence. anl these boycotled
the farmer 50 that no other help could be
hired to replace them.
Mrs. Bobschyelle at this point volunteered
10 assist her husband in bis work on condi-
ton that be would carry her to the Worlds
Fair. He consented TO this bargain, and the
woman turned in and helped him harvest
the crop. But Bobschyelle's miserliness
made him try to repudiate the agreement.
and on Ms Bobsciyelle insisting on his
keeping to il, be has taken this method Of
carrying her to the Fair. but the plucky lii

How silver is Purchased.


From the Inter Ocean.
It seems 70 be very difficult for the public
to understand the way the government buys
silver under the Sherman act. The general
supposition appears TO be that the govern
ment loses money on every purchase to the
extent Of the difference in intrinsic value be.
tween a sold and a silver dollar. The Pres
idents message rather favors that idea.
without explicitly maintaining IT,
Nov the truth Is that the government gets
the silver for its value in gold. For ex-
ample take the last silver purchase made july
81. The amount bought was $4,000 ounces
or los $4,000 grains. Il takes only 81 %
grains Of pure silver to make a standard
dollar, but the government actually paid
only 70.3 cents per ounce. There are $50
grains in an ounce.
The purchases are made in notes redeema-
bic in coin. The holder may demand gold.
but If 50 the government only pays out gold
for silver at cost. figured on 3 gold basis.
To illustrate, take the total purchase re-
quined for each month and the prics paid
for the bullion bought last week go cents
per ounce as the two bases Of calculation
aud We have the following result:
Amount Of silver purchased ounces -. 90, go
Amount of treasury notes issned in pay.
. l63 500
Gold value Of the bullion iiself....... los 800
1.-THE notes were presented FOR redemption
they would cali Tor S3,le3 500 in coin. gold
or silver. Il should be remembered that
with silver at par an ounce OF that metal is
worth 81 y.
