DEMooRAZ1o sTATEMANsHIP.

The Mercury, of Portland, is in fa-
vor of the "repeal of all specific con-
tract laws, and law of congress max
ing all money issued by the govern
ment legal tender for any and all
debts and liabilities" regardless of
everything to the contrary. This, our
cotemporary imagines would "restore
confidence in financial circles, and
would stop all speculatlons by bankers,
brokers and money shylocks, and en-
llven trade and make better times than
any other thing that could be done,
and until that Is done there will be
more or less uncertainty in business
matters and investments of all kinds. I"
But the Albany Democrat does not
consider this feasible and says: THAT
would be difficult on account of the
fact that congress, led by such men as
John Sherman years ago refunded the
debt of the government, then payable
in lawful money and made it payable
in gold" 1t will be a great loss to
the country for many generations that
these great financial minds were not
in the ascendancy IN congress during
the ''late unpleasantness," instead of
such fanatics on financial honesty as
John Sherman and his Republican al
lies. They would have saved to the
public treasury millions of dollars by
paying the national debt in green
backs, worth at one time only forty
cents on the dollar. Of course the
national honor was pledged to the re-
demption of these ''promises to-pay" in
standard money of the world; but this
would have made no difference, for the
country would have reaped the benefit
of the difference between the forty
cent greenback and the standard dol
lar of commerce. One of the most
plausible reasons for the depression IN
the monetary market to-day and the
low prices being offered for products is
that the government has paid It's debts
in honest money, and this would have
been avoided if the Democratic party
had been placed in power in 1868.
The victory of November 8, 1892,
came twenty five years too late for the
people to fully appreciate the advan-
tages of Democratic financial schemes;
but there may be some of the benefits
experienced in the next three years,
and slight foretaste has been had
during the past few months.

England enjoyed a holiday yester-
day on the occasion of the marriage Of
the Princess May, of Teck, to the Duke
OF York, the oldest son of the Prince
of Wales. The wedding was a bril-
liant one. and London and all the
chief cities wore CAV colors. Notvith-
standing the fact that there is grow
ing democratic element in Great Brit
ain, there is still an attachment to
and on all occasions when q
queen, kingIor prince is the principal
actor, there will be more or less public
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS among classes who
claim no sympathy with the crown or
aobility..

The Roughs of Paris .

PARIS, July 5--It now appears most
of the rioling yesterday was not by stu
dents, but by the riff raft, who took ad-
vantage of the occasion to raise distur--
bance. This class resumed their rioting,
and had numerous conflicts with the po-
lice and soldiers. Numbers on both
sides were injured. The affair has as
sumed such serious aspect that the
authorities are determined to restore
order at any cost. Almost the whole
city is occupied by troops who have
orders to repress the disorder with a
strong hand. The body of Nuger, the
young man killed in yesterdays riots,
was conveyed by unfrequented streets to

Confidence RESTORED.

SPOKANE, July 6-The resumption Of
the Washington National bank, which
suspended Just month ago today,
caused quite demonstration. The NOV
ing of specie to the new building was
witnessed by large crowd early in the
morning and was attended by four po-
iicemen and deputy sherlffs. At 10
O'Clock when the doors were opened, the
crowd of depositors reached half block.
Two men reached the teler's window
first, and to prevent wrangle two tel
lers took money simultaneously. The
bank remained opened during the usual
hours and onIv paid out $2100. The re-
ceipts were $4,000 greater than that
amount. The opening of the bank has
done much to restore confidence in busi-
ness all around.

Why He Was Called.

WASHINGTON, July 3-The true reason
why Crisp was called to consult with
Carlisle was because the Cleveland ad
minis1ration wanted pledge from him
that Bland should not be made cha,rmsn n
OF the coinage committee. Crisp made
no pledges, but suggested that Bland be
sent for, and that be might be induced
to make satisfactory promises to the adj
ministration. Bland wants several ap
pointments tnat have not yet been made.
and Crisp suggested that Cleveland
might do more with HIM than he could
promise. Crisp, although concededly the
next speaker, does not feel that he is in
any position to be promising chairman
ships so long in advance of the assembly
of congress.
THE INTERVIEW WITH CARLISLE.
WASHINGTON, July 3-Ex Speaker
Crisp arrived this morning and had an
interview of 90 minutes with Secretary
Carlisle. Representative Bynum. after

Smelters Ready to Buy silver.

DENVER, July 6-"The smelte,s will
resume the purchase of silver ore in a
few days. l think that the outlook is
considerably better than 1T was week
ago." said D. Mofitt. president OF the
West National bank, one of the heaviest
holders OF silver mining properties in the
state. "a vey noticeable reaction seems
to have taken place in the last few days,
as indicated by the strong advance IN sill
yer bullion. l expect to see it go to 80
cents inside of 80 DAYS. I notice that
France is beginning to protest against
the action against silver, and that will
help US. Silver exports from New York
show that there is a market somewhere.
We feel decidedly better, aud shall
shortly resume work at our mines There
will be very little profit In silver at 20
cents for us, but /; will pay expenses"
THE feeling Is much better than it
was few days ago." said W 81. Jakes,
Of the Omaha and E. Grant snelier.
"We cannot count with any certainty
upon the real shape of the market until
we hear from the government regarding
the July purchase of silver. That will
give us a basis for calculation. Miners
of the state are inclined to accept the
situation cheerfully. The feeling of des.
pondency has given place to one of con-
tidence that affairs will be right in due
time. The Gustin mine on Red noun.

Clairvoyance is the midsummer mad
ness in Boston. This view is not -ad-
mitted. A Boston woman says that in
hot weather the next thing to taking off
the flesh and sitting in ones bones is to
have dealings with the occult. What
ever phase may be put upon it, in large
circle of people in Boston whose doings
are regarded as Of consequence, each
has his or her clairvoyant, and women
exchange and recommend mediums as
they do books or patterns. 1t is needless
TO say that although this new diversion
is not discussed publicly the very high
est view is taken of it, Under the shadow
of Harvard and Professor James it has
scientific aspect.
A woman who would describe herself
as earnest says that in her opinion the
medium gets into communication with
her higher self-not the medium who
most likely lives up back stairs in q di-
sheveled Mother Hubbard and does not
necessarily have higher self. This
communion with the visitors subcon-
sciousness transcends all mind reading.
These mediums are consulted in the
gravest matters of business and affairs.
In one case a rich man had died, and his
will could not be found. A clairvoyant
was consulted, who said he had gone
into his grave with the will in his coat
tail pocket. The body was exhumed,
and sure enough the man had his will
with him.-New York Evening Sun.

A young man came in from the coun-
try the other day with pretty girl.
They came to get married, and they
wanted to be married by well known
clergyman. That was a notion of the
girls. They took cab to the house of
the Rev. DIR. Macarthur at 1858 West
Fifty-seventh street. The house was
closed. Then they drove to the house of
DR.. W. H. P. Faunce Of the Fifth Ave
nue. Baptist church. It is at Q West
Forty-sixth street and was closed. DR..
John r. Paxton's residence is down the
same street, across the way, at 81. They
went there. 1t was closed. Next they
tried 1913 Madison avenue, where DIR. Z.
Walpole Warren lives. Blinds were
down and doors locked tight. They next
drove to 842 on the same avenue. David
ii. Greer, the famous rector of st. Bar
tholomew's, lives there when he is at
home. but he is not at home. His house
was boarded up tight
Then they tried DR.. Halls beautiful
residence at 712 Fifth avenue. They
thanked heaven, for it was evidently in
habited. But the maid disappointed
them by saying that DIR. Hall had gone
to Europe for three weeks. Then the
young man looked up IS more well
known clergymen in the directory and
drove to each one of their houses. Every
one, without exception, was out of town.
Then the couple went home and were
married by justice Of the peace. The
young man thinks New York clergymen
ought not tn complain of lack of vaca-
tions.-New York Press.
