ceeded the last election, the result
would be the same-the power and
patronage Of the administration would
be used to destroy silver. Referring to
the Sherman act, Mr.. Stewart said that
notwithstanding the numerous viola-
tions OF legal tender money to the cur.
rency Of the country, there was no
evidence that the Sherman act had up
to this time inflicted any injury upon
the country.
Mr.. Aldrich (Rep., R. ~ tried to In
terrupt Mr.. Stewart, but the latter re.
piled tartly that he declined TO yield.
"0f course 1t is very aggravating," he
said, ito have the facts known"
Thereis an honest remedy, he said,
for the present condition. aud that is to
restore silver. II that cannot be done,
utilize the silver in the treasury by
issuing certificates. The dishonest
remedy to relieve the distress is to pass
the repeal bill; ratify and sanctity the
infamous act Of 1873, thus fustening
perpetual gold standard upon the
country.
The creditor class had already doubled
the value OF gold and by SO doing had
doubled the obligations Of the debtors.
This was revolutionary It was the
duty OF every senator who loves his
country, said Mr.. Stewart, to resist by
every parliamentary means the perpe.

be done If the repeal bill were passed.

IN THE SENATE.

Mr.. Stewart Speaks Against Repeal-Silver
Mon Spring Surprise.
WASHINGTON, D, O., Sept. 5.-The sill
yer men in the senate to-day sprung a
surprise on the repeal forces in the de-
claration OF Mr.. Stewart that hereafter
quorum Of the senate would have to
be present when senators spoke upon
the silver question. If the opponents
Of repeal insist upon quorum being
present at all times it will be a new
move and may seriously interfere with
the programme Of the friends OF repeal.
Substantially the entire day in the
senate was consumed by Mr.. Stewart
(Rep., Nevada), who took positive
ground against the repeal OF the sher-
man act until silver was remoneti2ed.
The vote OF the senete-S5 yeas to 2S

Of executive business this afternoon was
the first set back that the repeal men
have thus far sustainedNin the senate.
Mr.. Faulkner (Dem., West Virginial
gave notice that he would address the
senate on the silver question.
At the conclusion of the morning
business Mr.. PETER Pop, Kansas) took
the floor and concluded the remarks
commenced by him yesterday in sup.
port Of bis free coinage amendment to
tho repeal bill.
Mr.. STEWART SPEAKS.
Mr.. Stewart, (Rep., Nevada), followed
Mr. PetTer in opposition to the repeal
OF the Sherman act He said that in
1875 the mints Of the continent Of
Europe and those Of the United States
were open to free coinage Of silver. He
then recited the events leading up to
the demonetization of silver In 1873.
Continuing, Mr.. Stewart said that Mr..
Sherman at that time reported the
house substitute from the finance COM
mittee with a substitute for section l6,
Which contained trade dollar OF 40
grains.
No reference was made in the de.
oaie in the senate in 1878, he said, to
the omission Of the silver dollar. The

Is INITIATION AT HAND?

The announcement by a New York
banking house that recent events in the
financial world were partial evidence
that this country has already reached
the condition where initiation of the cur
rency is not only probable but actually
exists, is deserving of consideration.
Business men have been so eager TO
repeal the present silver law and have
been so occupied with that duty and
the discussion of the evils of initiation
that it is but natural that some of the
possible proofs of already existing facts
may have escaped general notice.
The bankers in question call attention
TO the fair business prosperity of the
country, TO the decreasing railroad earn.
ings, TO the constant export of gold, and
at the same time to the great pre-
valence OF n speculative sentiment
which ~disregards the investing value of
securities and which everywhere is lead
ing the way in the purchase Of proper
ties that are expected 10 rise in value.
The principal point of all this argu-
ment lies in the fact that the banks Of
New York have become SO burdened
with money that rates are abnormally
low and stocks are maintained on an ad-
vancing plane in the face Of what are
thought to be adverse circumstances.
That there is much truth i'm these
premises must be admitted, but whether
the conclusion that we have already en-
tered a period of initiation is true is a far
different proposition.
1t is a fact that imitation is not a tan
gible condition that can be forseen. and
can be known and understood when il
arrives. All may predict its coming.
but no one knows when il begins. The
evidences Of il are subtle and are usually
unnoticed until its full results are felt
in a financial panic.
The history Of the period which end.

ORGANIZED CHARITIES.

If there is a disposition among the
various charitable societies in the city
to arrange 10 work on some mutual
basis it is to be hoped that the DISPOSE
ton will be fostered and developed until
il becomes an established fact.
If there is one fact more deplorable
than the existence of the need of charity
il is the woful waste that is made of the
means intended for the alienation of
suffering, through the unsystematic
manner III which it is employed.
The disagreeable fact is TO be con-
stantly held in mind that pauperism has
become a trade, and hat it is yearly
more difficult to distinguish the genu-
inc from the false among applicants for
aims. 1t is also true that the almoners
are often deceived in an exactly oppo-
site direction-that they refuse worthy
applicants, thinking them frauds, when
il there were means of investigation at
hand that injustice would be avoided.
There is scarcely an argument that
can be brought forward that does not
plead for the union of the agencies that
dispense charity, and all of the argu-
ments are very strong and convincing.

The Populists of Kansas and their acts
in the Legislature of that state do not
give much encouragement to those who
are wont to point with pride to the
political purity of new parties.
The career of the party from its incep-
ton to the present time, when despair
is driving its members TO unlawful acts
in order TO maintain their supremacy,
offers a good illustration of what may
always be expected of any party which
is founded to advocate principles which,
though appealing to the masses tempo
rarity, must be short lived because they
are false.
The inherent fault Of the populist
theories is in the fact that legislation
was accepted as the means by which
the rich should be made to divide with
the poor. 1t has been manifestly i'm
possible for the theorists to put theories
into practice, and those who hoped for
the millennium have seen their repre-
sentatives descend to a lower plane Of
political morality than those of any
other party. The majority of two
thirds of last year has been this year
reduced in the legislature to a minority.
But the minority has organized the
House and is transacting business.
Meanwhile the Republican majority
must wait until the governor recog-
niZes il.

MARION

The people of this city are to be given
an opportunity to see and listen to the
greatest of living povelists this week.
There are probably many who will
not be able to agree hat Mr.. Marion
Crawford is the greatest of living novel
lists, but they cannot produce a person
who has written anything comparable
to "The Immortals," nor anything to
be ranked with two or three of his
other books. 1t would have been better
for Mr.. Crawford if he had not written
some of his books. He has been too
prolific, but that has been doubtless the
fault of necessity. He could not escape
the necessity of keeping the pot boiling.
Marion Crawford is one of the men
who are worth seeing.
