WASHINGTON, May 18.-The
Treasury Department is informed
that 50, $50, 600 in gold was en-
gagged to-day at the New York
sub Treasury for shipment to
Europe on Saturday. This re-
duces the gold reserve in the
Treasury to $50, US, 900.
Judge Bradley of the District
Supreme Court this afternoon re-
fused to grant the writ applied
for by Coxey, Browne and Jones,
the Commonweal army leaders,
and thus defeated the hope Of the
Coxeyites of bringing up for re-
view the proceedings in the
police court which ended in their
conviction.
Tomorrow morning at 10
o'clock the convicted Coxeyites
will be brought up before Judge
Miller for sentence, the Judge
having now received his commits
sion. Nothing remains to the
men but to await Judgment in the
Police Court. The penalty pre-
scribed for each of the two Of
fences of which they have been
found guilty is 500 or sixty
days in jail, or both.
The Senate to-day passed a
resolution authorizing the special
committee appointed to investi-
gate the charges of bribery and
the doings of the Sugar Trust in
connection with Senators and
the legislation of Congress affect
ing Tariff measures, to meet its
necessary expenses and granting
it permission to sit during the
sessions of the Senate. 1t car
be stated upon the authority OF
the chairman, Mr.. Gray, that nc
line of policy has been discussed
| by the members of the commit
I tee, nor has any conclusion beer
reached as to how the investiga
| ltion shall be conducted.

ACTION DEMANDED BY THE
SENATE.

The Richmond Dispatch says
that Mr.. Voorhees,, Of Indiana, is
reported to have said that the
compromise tariff bill cannot be
passed in the Senate unless a
closure rule be first adopted, and
Mr.. George of Mississippi, is re-
ported to have, said that no clo-
sure rule can be forced through
the Senate during the present
session.
If the situation be correctly
stated this bad news for the Dem
ocrats, and they must so manage
their matters as to be on the Of
fensiye. They must so vote and
so abstain from speaking, as to
render it clear to the people at
home-in the event stated-that
it was the fault of the Republi-
cans and not of the Democrats
that no tariff legislation was ac-
complished. The continued de-
preston in business which will
surely result from filibustering
proceedings Of the Republicans
must be charged upon the Re
publicans,
Let the cry continue to be that
the Democrats are ready and
willing to pass a tariff bill but
the Republicans will not let them
pass it.
Offensive warfare is the policy
of the Democrats. Indeed, the
country will not be satisfied un-
til the Democrats of the Senate
have made it plain, and put upon
record the fact, that they have
exhausted every effort to bring
dilatory discussion to close,
and force a conclusive vote on
the tariff bill.
We think the country may
count good deal upon the wis
dom and patriotism of Vice-Pres-
ident Stevenson to aid in devils
ing plan by which senators
may be enabled to discharge
their constitutional duty.
Vote vote This is the de-
mand Of the people. Let there
be long sessions of the Senate;
short debates on amendments,
and early action on the main
question. The Democratic mem
bers of the Senate are ex-
pected to show their energy, de-
termination and power, and do
the work they were sent there to
do. 1t is impossible for them to
exhibit too much zeal in this mat

Southern MethOdiStS.

MEMPHIS, TENN, May 18.-
Conference convened this morn
ing shortly before 9 o'clock,
which is the appointed hour.
Bishop Hendricks was in the
chair. DIR. David Bash conducted
the devotional exercises. The
mintues of last nights session
were read and approved. Bish-
op Hendricks then retired and
Bishop Key took the chair.
DR.. Hoss obtained unanimous
consent and introduced a resolu-
ton of appreciation and thanks
to the Rev. w. P. Harrison who
is about to conclude a long, la
borous and brilliant service as
book editor of the quarterly re-
view of the M. E. church South.
Adopted.
@. B. Long, of the Louisville
Conference, chairman of the COM
mittee on Finance, reported
enough money in the treasury to
pay the expenses of the delegates
until Monday night, including
supper.
DR.. Napier moved suspension
sion of the rules in order
that he might introduce an
amendment to the report of the
Sunday School committee. The
amendment amounted to a COM
promise between the Sunday
School committee and the COM
mittee on education in regard to
the disposal of the children's
day collection. Item two of the
report of the committee on edu-
cation had provided for the Civ
ing of children's day collection
to the board of education to be
used for educational purposes.
The amendment by DIR. Napier
which was agreed to by the
committee on education, pro-
vided that ten per cent of the
funds collected on children's day
should go the parent Sunday
School Board and ten per cent.
to the Board of Education of the
M. E. Church South, and the re-
mainder, 80 per cent, to the
Sunday School Board for the
maintenance and assistance of
needy Sunday schools. Any
money that may remain from the
collection after it has been thus
dealt with to be divided between
the Parent Sunday school and the
General Conference Board of
Education. 1t was adopted.

CLEVELAND AND ,ILVER.

Congressman Culberson, of
Texas, is an extreme free silver
man, but he is also q broad
minded, fair and honest man.
Though he differs with President
Cleveland on the silver question,
he does not misrepresent the
Presidents views or impugn his
Democracy.
In recent interview, Mr..
Culberson said:
Il think Mr.. Cleveland is very
greatly misunderstood on the
silver question. There is no doubt
of one thing, and that is, he is
unalterably opposed to the free
coinage Of the silver unless it
shall be controlled by the terms
of a fixed international agree
ment that will insure an equality.
He believes that this country
ought to use all the silver it can
circulate on parity with gold.
He is opposed to an increase of
silver circulation now unless
Congress will furnish him with
the means to protect and uphold,
if necessary, the parity between
the metals. My observation is,
that he will deplore the spectacle
of a deprecated currency in this
country as the greatest calamity
that could befall it, The silver
question arises now on condi-
tions not heretofore presented.
The world is practically on a
gold basis. Whatever silver we
may employ now, in the absence
of an international agreement,
must be on a domestic basis, be-
cause it is no longer current ia
the worlds counter. Mr.. Cleve-
land vetoed the >.seigniorage bill,
not upon the ground that he was
an enemy of silver, but because
he did not believe that the silver
circulation of the country should
be increased without giving him
the means to maintain. if it should
become necessary, the parity be
tween the two metals. Mr.. Cleve
land is confronted with a condi
ton that did not exist when he
was President before-a condi
ton which compels him to main
tain, if possible, the parity be
tween gold and silver"
We now expect the soreheads
to denounce Mr.. Culberson as {
traitor to the party. 1t is i'm
possible for them to understand
how any man can disagree with
the President and still do hin
justice.

Money Offered to Defeat the Tariff
Bill

Well, we'll ! Who would have
thought that the people of Vir-
ginia would ever hear of G. W.
Butts again? In reconstruction
days, that is to say, prior to 1871
he tlourished a good deal about
Richmond. He was as we'll
known here as James H. Platt or
Charles HI. Porter. He was a
mighty man at the Petersburg
convention, where that rupture
was begun in the Republican
party Of Virginia, which led up
to the ''true Republican" move
ment and the nomination of Gil
bert G. Walker as Governor.
Butts was an anti-Wells man, and
aided much in bringing on the
row. Later Butts rose to promi-
nence among The carpet -baggers
of South Carolina and got into
Congress from that State. Later
still he went to the far West,
whittier, we believe, Mr.. Platt
had preceded him. Butts was a
short, swarthy, suave, foreign
looking, new conner here, who
always dressed we'll and had all
the self-assurance characteristic
of his class. Now we hear of him
in Washington, where he is said
to have offered S25, 900 to Sena-
tor Hunton and Senator Kyle,
each, to vote against the tariff
bill.
It seems that he did not ap-
proach Senator Hunton directly,
but through the Senator's son,
and the Senate Immediately
thereupon laid the facts before
the committee OF the Senate
which has charge of the tariff
bill.
Quite naturally, this revelation
has caused a great sensation at
Washington. It shows what des-
perate expedients have been
adopted by the enemies of tariff
reform to- defeat the pending
bill. We hope however, that il
have the effect of bringing Dem
ocratic senators to a realizing
sense of the Importance of fore
ing a fight at once with the Re
publicans. There is no sense ir
dilly -dallying with them any
longer. The Democrats might
as well take the bull by the horns
as it were and try to force a vote
| Thus thew can at least exhibit
the Republican senators to the
country as enemies of action
and as selfish politicians who are
trying to make the present tenn
porary business depression per
manent.-Ric1,n,ond Dispatch.

"THE TENDENCIES OF THE
TIMES.

AS the Richmond State says.
this is one of the most common
expressions to be seen in the
newspapers of to-day, It is one
of the expressions that drop
most glibly from the lips of
speakers. And yet in many in
stances we fail to find any agree
ment among the users of the
term as to what the tendencies
of the time really are. 1t is true
that the word used most fre.
quently is unrest but is there
more real unrest now than has
existed for some years past? The
Americans have rapidly devel-
oped this characteristic, but it
cannot be charged to this partic
ular time as one of it's tendencies.
The tramp movement is one sort
of unrest, but, in the main, the
present tendency has been against
an unrestful tendency of the
mind.
Looking at the nation as a
whole it has been marked by pa
tience and conservatism, and this
we regard as one of the encour-
aging signs of the times. Men
are beginning to appreciate the
fact that national unrest is bad
habit, whether it be of the men
tai or physical kind. We have
had, OF course, some strayers
over the face of the country, and
some ranters, but, when we note
the tendencies characterizing the
people of the day, unrest can
scarcely be charged to the Amer
lean account, as an American
tendency of the times.
One tendency of the times, and
a very hurtful one, has received
a check. 1t is one, however,
which has come in for q very lit
tie notice. This is extravaganza.
It is mistake to charge it to
the rich alone. The average
American is not rich man,
though he is richer than the citi-
zen of any other portion of the
world. But the average Ameri-
can is extravagant. He will not
watch his output of money. One
of the reasons that many for
eigners, who settle in this coun-
try, are frequently more prosper
Gus than the natives is that they
are not handicapped by this
American tendency towards ex-
travagance. Nor is the term to
be applied solely to the active
habit of extravaganza in spend.
ing money, but it fits as well the
tendency to extravaganza OF
speech, extravaganza of ideas
and of public policies. Business
enterprises, upon their very in
ception, are given an extrava
giant bulge; companies, to &C
complish excellent ends, are
handicapped by the prospectus
in extravagant terms. The re
suit is that meritoriouS measures
can not be made to live up tx
their extravagant programmes.
Then, again, we have the ex
travagant theorists, whose the
ories and dreams are as extrava
giant in their summation of al
the present and prospective i'll:
of the country as they are in Civ
ling remedies for the same. [
hard times can cure this Ameri
can tendency towards extrava
gance, then the effect will pu
the entire country on sount
basis and make the foundation
for better times all the more Sc
cure,

BOWLING ar THE MUsEE.

Tho Holders of the Place VIII Put in
Bowling Alleys.
Last evening Mr.. George Christleib,
of House-& Hermann, who manages
the affairs of the defunct amusement
resort, Musee theatre, decided to put
in bowling alleys in the curio hall for
the benefit of a number OF the clubs in
the Wheeling Bowling League, who will
make the new alleys their home, and
for outside clubs as well. There will be
no transient bowling, that kind being
avoided so as to get around paving the
city license, which is S75 for each alley.
There will be six alleys. 1t is not known
how many of the league clubs will bowl
at the new alleys, and it does not seem
probable that more than five of the
eight can be persuaded to make it their
homo alleys.
