THE SEIGNIORAGE BILL.
1t is Considered Almost Certain That
1t VIII Become n Law.

The friends of the seigniorage bill have
some very strong assurances that Mr..
Cleveland will not veto the measure. A
number of men have been to see Mr.. Cleve-
land to urge it's favorable consideration
upon him. Up to this time the men who
have personally advised him to sign the
bill are eastern democrats vino are anti
silver men and some anti-silver southern
men.
Now that the bill has passed the Senate,
it is said, some of the silver leaders will
call upon him to urge his signature. The
Treasury Department is in favor of the
bill becoming a law, and their calculation
are being made upon the ass sumption that
it will Several of those who took most
active part in leading the tight for the
repeal of the Sherman law have advised
lne President to sign this bill, ana after
talking with him have been convinced that
he would do 50. 1t may be aSstm ID with
almost certainty that the bill Will become
law.

TO WATCH ENGLAND
A o. s. Warship Doubtless on Her Way to
Bluefelds.
One of the Rio Fleet Sent-Admiral
Benham's Probable Movements-
The Brazilian Command.

The United States government is deter
mined to have a warship at Bluefields
Nicaragua, as soon AS possible to see that
its rights are not infrlnged upon in the
trouble between the Nicaraguan govern
ment on one side and the Mosquito Indians
and British marines on the other With
that object in view Secretary Herbert has
taken prompt advantage of the cessation of
hostlities at Rio by instructing Admiral
Benhafn, commanding the squadron to dis
patch one Of his vessels to Blueheds at
once. The selection was left to Admiral
Benham's discretion, and there are good
reasons for the belief that the mission was
intrUsted to the San Francisco and, fur
thermore, that that vessel is even now on
her way to the Mosquito country. 1t is pos
sible. however, that the Detroit may have
been selected for this special service Both
of these vessels are absent from the harbor
of Rio. They were supposed to be cruisins 2
at sea in the vicinity as a precaution
against the Introduction of yellow fever
If either or both of these vessels are now
steaming in the direction of home without
the admiral, the duty Of bringing him to
the United States on his retirement next
month will devolve on the New York
Officials of the Navy Department are very
reticent on this subject, and so far as they
are concerned ii cannot be ascertained to
certainty whether Admiral Benham will
accompany the warship detailed to service
at Nicaragua or whether he will delegate
that duty to another officer of the fleet
In case of the departure of Admiral Ben
ham from Rio before the arrival of his sue
cessor, Admiral Stanton the command of
the Brazilian fleet would devolve on the
senior officer present. 1t is impossible 10
say who this will be for the reason that il
is not known what ships will then be on
the station. The seniority of the command
ing officers present at last reports runs in
the following order: Capt. ]. c. Watson OF
the San Francisco. Capt. :. w. Philip of the
New York, Capt. Silas Terry of the Newark
and Capt. G. w. Coffin of the Charleston

NEARLY COMPLETED.
The Work of Compiling the Official
Records of the Two Armies.

The work of compiling the official rec
ords of the Union and confederate armies
has reached a point where the end IS in
sight, and the Secretary Of War has be-
gun the reorganization of the force en-
ployed thereon. The first step in that direc-
ton was taken today when an order was
issued detachng Capt. Sumner II. Lincoln,
tenth infantry from further duty in that
connection, and ordering him TO join his
regiment, the headquarters of which are
Fort Marcy, y. NJ Capt. Lincoln is the
chief assistant of Maj. Geo. p. Davis. judge
advocate, in charge OF the war records Of
flee, and has been on duty ia that office for
about year. The other officers likely to
be affected by the completion Of the war
records are Capt. c. u. Cuwes, twenty
third infantry; Capt. a. VI Fuller. third
cavalry, and First Lieut.. A. c. Macomb,
fifth cavalry.

A GLITTERING PROGRAM.
The President, His Cabinet and Con.
gress May Travel Together

gress May Travel Together.
The chances are that in May or June
next the most distinguished excursion par
ty that ever started out on a junket will
leave Buffalo or Cleveland for 4 trip over
the great lakes. Some time ago several
gentlemen of Cleveland conceived the idea
of inviting President Cleveland ana the
members of his cabinet to make the round
of the fresh inland seas on the northal n
boundary during the summer, and sent an
invitation to the Executive Mansion to that
effect. No answer has yet been made TO il,
but the fact that it had been cent came 10
the ears of the officials of the Lake Car
riers Association. which owns or controls
all the steam vessels plying on the Iakes,
ana they determined to improve and en-
large upon the idea. Consequently fne as
sOciation has nearly completed arrange
ments which will enable il to invite 10th
branches of Congress. as well as the Fresi-
dent and cabinet. TO he its guests on a VOW
age through the unsalted seas 10 take
place in May or June, the Itinerary of
which will embrace every city of import
ance and all points of interest.
Jim Hill OF the Great Northern railroad
has a magnificent steamer nearing COM
pletion at Cleveland and he has rendered
the use Of it TO the Lake Carriers Associa-
uon for the personal accommodation of the
President. The intention is to press into
service for the occasion every steam vessel
that can possibly be spared for the purpose
and sweep through the lakes with an i'm
mense fiotilla. The start will probably be
made from Buffalo. and the voyage viii ex-
tend to Detroit and Chicago. The idea of
the promoters of the enterprise Is TO inn
press upon the powers that be the great
Importance of the commerce and traffic of
the lakes, and incidentally to show them
the places that need improving by means
of liberal appropriations The formal fnv-i-
tation is being prepared and will be sent TO
the desired guests in the course of a week

THE RECIPROCITY TREATIES.
Realization of What Their Abrosn.
tion VIII Result in.

The realization of the fact tha. the ab-
rogation Of the reciprocity treaties with
Germany and Spain will deprive this coun-
try of the commercial advantages of a mar
ket for agricultural products OF considera-
bic and increasing value, secured by reci-
procity, has greatly alarmed the democrats,
who have been trying to conciliate the su-
gar men. The re-establishn ent of an en-
barge upon our pork products by Germany
and other determinations against Ameri-
can imports by that country ami BY Cuba
it is pointed out, would be a blow at the
farmers of the country which would call
for a speedy resentment There ls appar-
emily no probability that the House VIII
agree to this sacrifice for the protection Of
the sugar growers, even should The Senate
do so.
VIII Abandon the sugar Men,
There is no telling what the democrats of
the Senate may do in order to get the bill
through that body, but the managers of the
bill all look further into the matter and
foresee that in the final conference on the
measure those concessions must be very
considerably modified, where not entirely
abandoned. The chances are decidedly IA
vorable to the ultimate abandonment of the
sugar men. There is a very strong oppo-
Sition in the House to any duty on sugar, as
was shown by the prompt amendment OF
the bill of the House committee so as to
place sugar on the free list: and the addi-
uonal motive Of preserving the markets for
agricultural products secured through the
reciprocity treaties will greatly strengthen
this opposition. The committee on finance
was in session today, but considered only
the administrative features of the bill. The
democrats of the committee are irving pri-
Vately to adjust their difficulties over the
reciprocity and sugar question without hav-
ing yet accomplished anything

THE gold reserve created by the late
bond issue is now almost entirely ex-
hausted. The country is none the bet-
ter of, but is deeper in debt. After
the issue the people looked anxiously
forth to the speedy relief which the in
stigators of the plot had promised, but
matters kept growing worse instead Of
better, until now the whole country Is
face to face with the most appalling
conditions that have yet visited the
shores OF America. Statesmen, both
republican and democratic, have offer
ed remedy after remedy, only to find
that after putting them into operation,
they were worse than the evils them
selves. If there eyer was time requir-
ing a careful and judiciouS voter for the
preservation of the country and the
maintenance Of the republic, that time
is now at hand; nothing but a radical
change will rescue the nation; mere
lnakeshlfts count for naught and are
sure to be Intellectual. The continu-
ance of either OF the old parties in pow
or means ruin and destruction. The
cormOrant is holding the golden souv-
mir in hand, stamped republican on
one side and democrat on the other,
and while he losses it nonchalantly in
the air. cries out to the masses with
the greatest composure, "heads 1 win,
tails you lose" Nothing short of a
new clean party composed of the in
dustrial classes. will raise the country
out of the slums.

Mr.. CLEyELAND never writes pub

trusts, and yet his party has done moth
ing to the trusts except to STIR up their
expectation of larger profits.-Globe
Democrat.
This from a republican sheet is GER
tainly refreshing. 1t is in direct oppo.
sition to the statement that the Access
sion OF the democrat party to power
has destroyed confidence to such an ex-
tent that capital was driven out of CIR
culation. Here the Globe Democrat
tells US that the trusts never did fear
the tariff reduction, which is very true.
The main war cry of the republican
party is knitted by the best republican
authority in the country. The pops
have been telling the dear republicans
that the syndicates weren't 'skeered''
very seriously over this democratic adj
ministration. and the Globe-Democrat
corroborates the statement.

The DAY OF MIRACLES IS PAST.

The following most remarkable and
wholesome advice was recently given
to the unemployed by Henry Clews.
Just how the labOrer who is out of a
job, is going to follow the instructions,
IS more than we are able to fathOm.
BE sure to go to bed early, as per-
son overtaken by misfortune reqires
more rest than at any other time. Be
sure to eat solid food, and plenty Of it,
as it is necessary to keep up strength.
Look forward, and never look back
ward, and remember the world was
created for all human beings alike, and
that it is capable of providing you a
good living. which will surely be OBJ
tainable by working in the right dlrec-
ton. The biggest fortunes have grown
from small beginnings, as does the oak
grow from a small acorn. Industry,
perseverance and pluck will cause a
man, however great the misfortune
which may have OYertaken him, to rise
ph9nlx-like, from the ashes, and
snatch victory out of defeat"
