oblige the senators from Alabama, Wes
Virginia, and Maryland duty OF A
cents ton is recommended.
The Wilson bill as it passed the house
had both raw and refined sugar on the
free list. The amended bill puts duty
of a cent pound on raw sugar and the
sugar trust has secured protection to the
extent of quarter of cent a pound
which was the figure in the Wilson bill
as originally drafted. ~,
The whisky tax is advanced from dol
lar to 81. 10, and the bonded period is ex-
tended from three years to eight.
The duties on china and glass are raised
from to Is per cent. , -
The Wilson bill put a duty OF Is pei
cent ad yalorem ON lead ore. with sthe
proviso that in ores containing silver and
lead where the value of the former was
create than of the latter the lead should
be admitted free. The subcommittee
more than doubles the duty, and provides
thatduty shall be paid on all lead in the
s;1var and lead ores ~. 49,. 3D.. a.
The Wilson bill has a provision that
the duties on all. wooden manufactures
except carpets be lowered per cent an
nually, beginning July, 1896, and ending
July, 1900, at which time the duties Will
be per cent lower than those fixed for
1885, The subcommittee recommends
that this be stricken out and also that
the duties on the most expensive wooden
and worsted yarns be reduced little.
The cotton and other schedules remain
unchanged. ,.. iii.
Various increases in the metal schedule
are made, apparently as a result mainly
of the withdrawal of free raw materials
from the manufacturers. Free lumber
remains.

Municipal elections were held IN
number of cities throughout Iowa Mon
day. Des Moines and several other cities
with special charters held no election.
The weather all over stat was extremely
disagreeable, and in most places the vote
was light. There were few contests.
Party lines were not closely drawn. Inc
republicans made gains in several cities
that have been steadily republican ana
in some others gained slightly in coun-
cilmen. The largest gain was IN Iowa
City. where they carried every ward but
one.

government, whether they bear interest
or not, which, according to their terms,
call for payment in coin, shall be payable

the secretary of the treasury, and the
right of the holder to demand payment
in any particular kind of coin is expressly
denied.

SOME INTERESTING POSTAL FIGURES.

SOME INTERESTING POSTAL FIGURES.
Interesting facts concerning the postal
service are embodied in the unusually
complete report upon the appropriation
bill, compiled by Representative Hender-
son of North Carolina, chairman of the
committee on post offices. The estimates
Of the department. Oh which the bill is
basel amounted to 500, 390, 4S5, exclusive
of special facilities on trunk lines, an
item amounting to sl9G,6l4. The bill rec
ommcnds~an appropriation of sS7, 47O, 500,
which is, in round numbers, s3,00o,O 900
less than the estimates and about the
same sam in advance of the appropria-
tions for the current year. The esti-
mated postal revenue for the fiscal year
.s,95 is sd .4127,74S, so that the postal serv-
ice is nearly self-supporting. Instead of
depending upon the future action of con-
gress to make good deficiencies, the bill
provides that a sum equal to whatever
deficiencies may arise shall be appropri-
ated. -. 10. 49,.

Last June Dick Crawford brought his
twelve months old child, suffering from
infsntile disrrh9a, to me. II had been
weaned at four months old, and being
sickly everything ran thr ,ugh It like
water through sieve. gave II the
usual treatment in such cases but with.
out benefit. The child kept growing
thinner until IL weighed but little more
than when born, or perhap, ten pounds.
then started the father to giving Cham.
berlain's Collie. Cholera and Disrrhea
Remedy. Before one bottle of the Is
cent size had been used, msrked i'm
provement was seen and its con .inued
use cured the child. Its weakness and
puny constitution disappeared and its
father and myself believe the child's life
was saved by this Remedy. ]. T. MAR.

Silver Coinage.

PHILADELPHIA, July lS.-Mr. Preston,
the director OF the mint, to-day by direc-
tion of the secretary Of the treasury,
issned orders to the mint authorities at
San Francisco and New Orleans to begin
at ones the coinage Of silver dollars, and
during the present month to coin up 10
the ordinary capacities Of the mint The
silver 10 he frat coined will be blanks and
ingots, Of which there is sufficient to coin
about SIS, 900, 900 At these two mints
and at Phildelphia. As soon rs this sup.
ply 10 exhausted, work will begin on the
silver bars, Of which there is a years
supply 1t San Francisco and New Or.
leans. and probably FIVE yesrs' supply at
Philsdelphia.
SO far ss can be learned it is not the
purpose Of the government to extend the
coinage Of the seigniorage beyond q few
millions. but IL is settled that after
coming what gold may be necessary and
recoining the sbrsded fractional silver.
each Of the three mints probably will b
worked At their normal capacity on sii-
yer dollars for the next several moashs
st least and presumably to the end a
the year.
Whether treasury notes will be retirssl

known, has not been determined.
