sual sights seen the other day in
Elmlra, says the New York sun. The
monkey is a member of bod Backer's
circus, but has been occupying winter
quarters as a side attraction at Els
toms saloon on East Water street,
and was left chained during the tenn
porary absence of the proprietor. He
managed, however, to free himself,
and walked over behind the bar. He
glanced in the big looking-glass back
or the row Of colorcd bottles, and, see
ing another fellow of his own size.
picked UP Il decantcr and let it go
with his right, and Mr.. Elston's 5000
glass was a wreck. His opponent
having been got rid Of, the monkey
proceeded to test the various LIQUID
refreshments on hand. He turned on
the beer and took a long deep draught.
Then he sampled the whisky, gin.
wine, and various kinds of bitters. 1t
wasn't long until he was roaring
drunk. Then he tackled the cigar
case and demolished that, throwing
the cigars about the room in handfuls.
The monkeys screams and the noise
OF shattered glass attracted Il crowd
about the front of the saloon, but the
door was locked and there was no way
to geti in. Finally two policemen
came and boosted a bold young fellow
through the tranSom. After Il lively
tuselc he managed to get Il rope
around the drunken monkey, and he
was hoistcd through the window and
escorted by the two policemen, Que on
each side, to Jail and lodged in a cell.
The next morning the prisoner was
sick and held his head between his
paws. Although it was his second
o%ffcnse, the recorder suspended sem
tence, and he was led back to the
saloon and chained up. The next
time he gets drunk the owner will
send him to the KCely cure at Bing-
hamtOn.

take them, there would be no more leg
islation on the silver question BY this
congress- Congress passed the seignior
age act, and he vetoed the bill indicating
plainly the nature of his bargain with
the bankers. The whole thing is such
a scheme of robbery that he ought to be-
impeached for it 1t is q shame and a
disgrace The idea of this great gov
eminent having to beg lot of Shylocks'
assistance is so outrag eous that there is
no language too strong in which to
characterize it
Cleveland is owned body and soul by
these scoundrels; he secured his nomina-
ton at Chicago through the influence Of
a subsidized press and with the votes he
lacked thereafter exhausting such means
he be bought with promises of patronage,
hich promises have since been redeem
ed; the goods have been delivered His
attempt to browbeat and debauch the
senators and representative was out
rageous in the extreme. If these cow
ardly congressman up there had any app
probation of their duty to their constitu-
ents at home they would impeach him.
'sConsider the farce and treason to the
interests of the masses of issuing bonds
under a pretence of increasing the gold
reserve when the same gold ia paid in at
one window and drawn out at another
with silver certificates. And the same
procession goes on till the silver certif-
Gates are exhausted and the people have
to pay the interest"
swell, Governor, what is your idea Of
what ought to be done?"
The governor thought for an instant
and then said:
"WelL I'll tell you. / think that the
silver men of the country ought 70 meet
in convention at Memphis or St. Louis
and organize fight to control the next
congress. Let the west and south cast
aside all questions upon which they now
have any differences and get together 1t
is a fight between gold and silver, or
poverty against prosperity.
"One more word as to Mr. Cleveland
l think that it is most outrageous his
being dictated to and bought up by those
bondholders. 1t is debasing his high
Office. He is abusing his power to dicker
with such people and barter away the
peoples blood, even upon the pretext of
financial relief.

congressman will issue a call for

blOodsucking gold thieves a lesson in pol

Scathing Denuncfa.ion of the President

COLUMBIA, 5. c., April Ex-Governor
TiIlman was interviewed here today.
The governor called attention to the fact
that many of the northern and western
papers were speaking of him as the Pop
uIist governor. Then after little DELHI
Grafton he said:.
Eyes, they call me Populist l will
tell them that am the true and the rep
resentative of Jeffersonian Democracy In
the lead in American politics today. Let
me tell you, don't see anything ahead
now but for the southern Democrats to
combine their forces with the western
Populists and go into the next national
campaign on new party lines. The
northeastern Democrats and Republicans
are now together. It is ombination of
the moneyed interests"
The governor then turning suddenly
and in a somewhat excited and very
forcible manner said:
~ despise Cleveland and his mug
wumps. He is no better than the rank
est Republican. He has destroyed the
Democratic party. The south and west
will be forced TO unite and have a COM
plete reorganization of party lines.

Senate. 1t Is claimed that the Indictment
Of Secretary Searles is bad because it fails
to show that the questions which are
quoted as unanswered were asked by the
committee, or with its authority, and that
the indictments failed to show that the
questions asked came within the authority
Of the Senate or Senate committee; that
the power to punish for refusal to answer
cannot be delegated to a court, nor the
determination of the facts be committed
to jury; that the indictments do not
charge the defendant with having kDowl-
edge or information necessary to answer
the questions. or the right or authority to
obtain information from the books of the
sugar trust.
President Havemeyer asserts that his
indictment does not show that the request
was made by the committee or with its au-
thority.
In Broker Seymour's demurrer it is
claimed that Congress has no power to
make the refusal of such witnesses TO tes-
tify a crime, nor the right to delegate the
courts the power to punish for contempt.

MOUNTAIN SURVEYS.
BY an Oversight They Cannot Be
Paid For.

WASHINGTON, Dee. IAN error has
been discovered in the enrolling of the
sundry civil appropriation bin for the cur
rent year which has seriously incon-
venienced several States in securing
surveys. For several years past this bill,
in the appropriation for survey of public
lands. contained provision that in the
States of Montana. Wyoming, Colorado
Utah, Washington, Idaho and Oregon
there may be allowed, with the approval
of the Secretary of the Interior, for the
survey of lands heavily timbered. noun
famous or covered with dense underground
a rate not to exceed $50 per lineal mile for
standard and meander lines, S23 per town
ship and $50 for section lines"
This provision was incorporated in the
last bill, and was accepted by the Senate
without opposition. But it appears that in
enrolling the bill the provision was omitted,
and. as it was signed by the presiding
officer OF both House and Senate and the
President, the bill became a law without
the provision. When the Surveyor-General
of the States came TO let contracts it was
found that there were no surveyors who
! would engage to survey the lands described
in the omitted proviso at the regular rates
| Complaints were made. and upon investi.
| CATION it was found to be purely clerical
/ error. 1t is understood that steps will be
taken to have the error corrected in the
urgency deficiency bill. which will pass
probably before the holiday recess, and
contracts can be made for surveys to the
full amount of the appropriation.

pleted by October 80. 1896.
The contract binds MIR. Hammond to

and thereafter to spend not less than $780,
900 per month until the work is finished.

meet the two lines, thus making a con-
tinuous line from Portland to the seaside.
