MONETARY CONFERENCE

Washington, April 17.-AnO'he'
international monetary conference,
this time. perhaps, to be held in
the City OF Mexico is among the
probabilities. The Mexican govern
ment through its diplomatic re
representatives. is quietly pressing mp
on the attention of the powers the
feasibility of again undertaking,
an I'D ustment of the monetary
question, and the time lie
believed to be ripe for further
effort in Lthat direction. Minister
Romero has already suggested
the matter TO Our government
in d way that does not at the mo
ment require direct answer, and
the president is considering it care
fully, for undoubtedly the success
of the undertaking will depend i'll
a large measure uqol the support
of the United States. The adhesion
OF Great Britain, too, is of the
first importance. and the report
that she will limit her cooperation
to the representation Of India alone
hardly reaIizes The hopes of the
projectors of the conference.

RIDALGO HOT
sOver Unaccountable Proceedings
of Coanty Officials.

Hidslgo, Texas, April 1S.-It
has been noticed by your reporter
that for several days quite ripple
of excitement was disturbing the
usual quiet of our county. Your
reporter, with the usual instincts
of news gatherer has set himself
TO work to find the reason therefor.
After much difficulty, owing TO the
anwillingness of people to talk and
the great care with which the re
cords of the courts are guarded, he
has been able to find the snbjoined
facts which he submits to your
readers, especially those OF this
county. The fOllowirgis quoted
Verbatim from the minutes of the
commissioners COURT
"On the 2nd day of this month
commissioners court Of this county
was convened in special session
upon call of the county judge at
which were present his honor,
VIM P. Dcugherty, county judge,
and Commissioners jose Longoria
and Manuel Hinojosa, wherenpon
among other proceedings, the fol
lowing orders were made:
aft is ordered by the court tina:
tie sum Of FIVE hundred dollars be
and is Hereby appropriated out of
the road and bridge fund and other
funds on hands, after paying the
Interest on outstanding county
bonds, to be spent under the super
vision of the county judge, he to
see that none but those actually in
need of employment, and that no
more than fifty cents Mexican coin
he allowed for The days work, Com
missioner Longoria voting against
the above appropriation.
at is ordered by the court that
the work done on the court house
and the sum of one hundred and
twenty-five dollars for the trees
planted around the court house, un
der former order Of this court, 1t
is ordered that the above money,
Hereby appropriated to be paid
over to the county judge by the
treasurer, innmaedlutely, and q copy
of this order 10 be sufficient author
ity for the treasurer to pay over
the same to the said county judge. "
son this day the bill aud receipts
of Benigno Leal for the sum of one
hundred aud twenty-five dollars,
FOR miuety- one trees OF the ash,
anaqas, elm, ebony, willow, hack
berry and iabonci!Io, planted
around the court house yard be al
lowed aud ordered paid"
These orders are neither attest
ed I.y the comfy clerk nor approved
by the judge, yet, tits needless to
sly, We're at once carried into effect
by the collection Of the money by
his honor. Our people are some
what surprised at this aud are won

county read supervisor {Petcr
Champion who is able, efficient
and honest, and who is already

They wonder why il is that this
minority OF commissioner court
exacted no bond OF Judge Dough-

of this duty, and the honest ex

They {the people, want to know
Why it is that the sum OF one

planting ninety-one trees is paid
to Judge Douglierty Immediately,
and why it is preferred claim,
and if Judge Dougherty is court
house contractor or tree planter,
and why, at tho same time, BENG
no Leal files receiptei bills for
said work?
Why is it that Judge l Asgherty,
when the object of said Order is to
employ only the needy, ShOald
pay parties who have landsy stock
and other property, one dollar
day to stand around and boss the
job and give employment to two
or three of their families who are
amply able to live without such
help, to the utter exclusion of those
who are actually in need?
And they also ask why it is
that the money paid to these
people was not paid TO them IN
cash as drawn from the treasury,
but was paid to them in orders to
country dealers, who paid them
in goods at their OWE prices, and
if Judge Douglrerty includes the
aforesaid merchants among the
needy9
Some are iuquiring, too, why
certain school checks due teachers
for the months of September and
October, 1892, are yet unpaid,
when it is understood that money
for that purpose has long since
been paid the county by the statcl
These, it is asserted, are facts,
and it seems that explanations by
county officials are now in order.
The feeling among the people of
all classes here seems TO be that
a strict inquiry be made into these
matters, and if injustice has been
done, that steps DC taken to right
the wrong.
Much has been expected of the
finance committee appointed by
Judge Russell on the recornmen
dalton OF the last grand jury, but
your reporter is informed that the
clerk OF the court has been "too
busy" to notify the committee of
their appointment.
To the c.edit Of Jose Longoris,
his vote is recorded "Nu" in this
matter. Commissioners jackson and
Miller were not present.
There is another query that
troubles us to answer. Who moved

the motion? And if Judge Dough

Washington, May 22.-The question
of civil service reform was given full
sway in the house today, the occasion
being an amendment to strike out the
paragraph in the legislative appropria-
ton bill providing for the civil service
commission. The amendment was
adopted by a vote of 109 to Il, amid
great Democratic applause and Repub-
lican cries of "Spoils." Several Demo-
Gratis opposed the amendment virtually
abolishing the commission, but it was
adopted by a nearly strict party vote
Among the Democrats who voted with
the Republicans in favor of civil SER
vice reform were Wilson, Tracey, Hen
dirk, Dockery, Warner, Springer, Say
ers, Grain, Martin, Kilgore, Living
stone, Deforrest and Everett. The vote
on division was SO to 81. Cries of mo

fields are untitled, mines hold their
treasures in concealment, no ships
plough the seas. no railroads span con-
tinents. Without capital labor Is q la
tent unproductive energy. Why, today,
are there among us legions Of un-
employed? Because capital hies away
from us. II is an easy matter in club
room and on public square to discuss
capital and its obligations and to mark
out the channels through which 1t
should flow in order to reach our own
hands. AS "a matter Of fact, capital
emerges into public light or hides itself
in vaults, at its own good pleasure. We
must woo 1t with winning words and
acts 1t is timid of its life. Make 1t in
secure; 1t will shun you, and leave you
to beat the air with your idle arms. The
laws Of the financial world are as in
| flexible as those of the four seasons of
the year; the state or the country in
which through mob-riots or oppressive
legislative statutes property is endan-
gered or made unproductive, will be
surely abandoned to their own setrile
resources. The outcry against capital is
occasionally ludicrous IL It were not dis
tresslng in its possible consequences

mine lately toll to pay interest to
foreigners holding bonds and stocks Of
American industries and railroads."
Very well; but, these foreigners will not
send over their money to build up your
factories, and construct your railroads,
in which case you will pay to them in
deed no interest. but neither will you
earn bread for yourselves. What is
needed often, in all our controversies.
Is common sense, in presence Of which
hundred wild theories melt away and
a hundred complications find quick So
luton.
America has been for capital and for
labor the paradise Of nations. Our pros
perlty has been unparalleled. Our nat
ural resources are rich and varied. Our
civil institutions encourage industry
and self-rellance. Let us put to profit
our advantages, and be always what
Providence has intended us-the first
and best Of countries. This we shall do
by a supreme loyalty on the part of all 4,
citizens to rights and duties. 1t would
require but a short journey along the
road of injustice and violence to make
vain all our hopes and reduce our coun-

THE SENATE.
The Metal Schedule Disposed Of

The Metal Schedule Disposed Or
washington, May 2S.-The senate dis
posed of seven paragraphs of the metal
schedule today, after eight hours of de-
bate. The sensational feature of the
day SSas caused by the unexpected pre-
sentation by Jones of an amendment
substituting the Mckinley bill classif-
cation and specific rates on round iron
in coils, blown and charcoal iron, some
what higher than those already pro-
posed. This amendment was a surprise
to some senators on both sides, al
though evidently anticipated by Quay
and a few other of his colleagues. Hale
tried to use it as text for haunting
the Democrats, and Teller read his
very plain lecture on the duty OF Re-
publicans to accept such increase as
Democrats were willing to grant with
out continually chiding their adver-
saries with inconsistency. When the
vote was taken seven Democrats and
two Populists refused to support the
Jones substitute, viz: Allen, Berry,
Blackburn, Jarvis, Kyle, Mills, Pascoe
and PETER. Among rates fixed today
were the following:
Iron ore, 40 cents per ton; pig iron,
scrap iron, etc, $4 per ton.

Important Change in the Law to Be
Recommended.

Washington, May 22.-The house COM
mittee on judiciary today indorsed the
report of the Boatner subcommittee
which Investigated the matter of the
Northern Pacific injunction by Judge
jenkins. A resolution will be submitted
saying the house disproves of the action
of Judge Jenkins and holding that he
exceeded his power in enjoining the
railroad men from striking, the two
bills to be reported will be drawn to
carry into effect the subcommittee
recommendation regarding compulsory
labor, which is as follows:
"Your committees recommend that all
possible doubt as to the powers of
judges for courts of the United States
to enforce specific performance of la
Dor contracts by legal process or to
compel persons to render involuntary
service under any pretext be set at
rest by prohlbitary statute"
The second bill will be in accordance
with this recommendation:
The power to punish for contempt is
limited by the laws of most states and
we see no reason why like limitation
sheuld not be placed in the powers of
federal judges"
Bailey, of Texas, a member of the
judiciary committee, thinks Judge Jen-
kns should be impeached. He reserved
the right to propose impeachment pro-

THE BRIBERY INVESTIGATION.
The Committee Ready, But No Wit
nesses Appear.


Washington, May 22.-C. W.. Buttz,
who was anxious to be heard before the
bribery investigation, was not on hand
today. Instead he sent his attorney to
explain he was otherwise engaged, and
asked to be excused from attendance
for the present. On being questioned by
the committee as to Buttz reason for
his conduct, Attrney MCGOWAN stated
that his client was engaged in making
a search for a witness who could cor
roborate his statements and throw light
upon the question at issue. The eXpla-
nation was far from satisfactory, and
Mr.. MCGOWAN was informed ButtZ was
the man wanted, and not a substitute.
Accordingly they called the sergeant
alarms to their assistance and direct
ed that a subpoena be issued for E'uttz.
While waiting the committee csIed in
several senators. including Voorhees,,
Harris and Coke, to whom Senators
Hunton and Kyle had stated that they
had given information Of approaches
made to themselves after Butte made
propositions to them. They confirmed
the statements of Hunton and Kyle,
and when asked If they knew Of other
attempts to bribe senators. Voorhees,,
Harris and Coke said they did not. The
sergeant-at-arms reported to the COM
mittee at / O'Clock that he had failed
to find ButtZ. He, however, had ascer-
tained that Buttz had left the city on
an early train, with the expectation Of
returning at 2. Buttz did not appear.
