SENATOR PETER, an ardent cham
pion of free silver, says that the agita-

out. We agree with the Senator that
the movement is on the decline. But
can it be possible that the free silver

idea that they are inactive in order to

ton has been harmful to free silver
and its supporters know it. Perhaps
they will Try the still hunt method

The First Of a Series.

The First Of a Series.
The first OF series OF lectures to be xiv.
en- this winter under the auspices OF the
Good Templars, was delivered in Grange
hall last Thursday evening by the Rev
Seward Robson, pastor Of the Baptist
church.
Music was furnished by the Good Tenn
plar quartette and, preceding the lecture
came a selected reading by Mrs. 8. N,
Gould and recitation by Miss Jennie
Williams.
Mr.. Robson's discourse, which was list
ened to with the greatest interest, was on
the principles Of temperance-theirs social
and moral influence upon a community
and upon the nation at large,
One OF his illustrations was the rev.
enue stamp, which the law requires to be
placed upon every barrel of beer sold in
this country. The revenue stamp bears
the letters U. g., meaning us, who with
our knowledge OF its evil effects are vet
sending out this poison in our own name.
The speaker gave some startling statis-
tics with regard to the enormous sale OF
alcoholic beverages, and urgedlthe necessi-
ty OF not only preaching the principles of
temperance but Of carefully working
them out.
At the close Of the lecture, "Katy Did
and Katy Didn't" was very prettily sung
BY little Mabel Drake, and Miss Ethe.
lynd Gould, by request, gave recitation.

CLEVELAND, o., Dec. 25.-George
Kennon. the well-known writer and lee
turer, speaking of the Venezuelan dis
pute says: 81 am surprised, in fact
dumbfounded, at the readiness of the
American people to bring on a first-class
war. Two months ago every mouth in
this land was preaching peace at the
contemplation of war in the orient and
Europe, and here today even the minis
tiers of the gospel are shouting for war.
Il regret the condition, because 1
greatly fear that a terrible war is immi-
nent. England will not back down from
her position. This can be taken for d
certainty. If President Cleveland's in
depreciation of the Monroe doctrine is
not altered and continues to be upheld,
we shall have war and the greatest war
that ever transpired. 1t VIII not only
take in the United States and Great
Britain but will involve the entire world.
"A foreign war will be very disastrous
to us, and while l have no doubt that
we shall ultimately win and add Canada
to our possessions. it will be very close
to ruination for us.
"Such war is bound to come unless
the United States backs down, and l
don't think it will. 1t will be the great
est calamity to humanity that has ever
occurred"

WASHINGTON, Dec. 25.-Great inter
est was excited in official circles here to-
day by the publication in the Washing
ton Post, under a New York date, of
statement TO the effect that the Russian
government has offered to lend the
United States any amount of gold up TO
S4GG, 900, 000-one-half of its total posses
sions OF this specie-in order to maintain
its, credit against assaults from the great
money powers OF the other European
nations, and that learning of this tender,
the RothSchilds, through Messrs. Bel
mont and Morgan, had made overtures
stoF le5 the United States have any
amount of gold needed. The statement.
1t is learned, is accurate SO far as con-
Germs the fact that Russia rendered the
United States a part of it's store of gold,
but the natural inference that this offer
was a recent one made in consequence
OF the late Venezuelan message and sub
Sequent panic Is not warranted, for it
Was made two years ago. The history
OF the matter Is brief and runs back only
10 the beginning of the present admins
tration or President Cleveland. Soon af-
ter he came into office Tor the second
time, the president was confronted with
rapidly sinking gold reserve in the
United States treasury and d heavy loss
OF revenue Incident TO radical changes in
the tariff IhiS situation resulted IN the
United States being asked larger rates
than usual for any bonds it might wish
TO float.
The Russian government for ten years
had been accommodating gold, in many
cases at great disadvantage owing to the
hostility of the money lenders OF central
and western Europe, and much of this
gold was purchased in the open market
by secret agents of the Russian govern
ment. The purpose was not only to pro-
vide proper reserve in the Russian war
chest but also TO provide against a con-
templated change in the Russian mon
rouble to a parity with gold.
Taking cOgnizance of The situation OF
the United States government, with
which it has always been on terms of the
closest friendship and between which
and itself there were no conflicting in
terests likely to arise, Secretary
Gresham, through Prince Cantacuzene,
then Russian minister to Washington,
was notified that Russia stood ready to
part with half of her store of gold, if
SO much were necessary. TO the United
states in order to protect her old-time
friend in the family of nations. This
tender was made about eight months af-
ter President Cleveland assumed the
+ presidential Office for his second term.
AT the time, the offer was gratefully ac-
knoWledged, but as the capitalists of
other nations gained an inkling of the
fact that the tender had been made. it
was found that the terms upon which
gold could be purchased in the open
market, as a consequence of Russia S
tender. we're so favorable as to render
it unnecessary to tax the friendship of
Russia. AT present, it is understood. the
Russian offer still holds good.

THE BATTLESHIPS.

WASHIN CTON. Dec. 25.-Secretary
Herbert has practically concluded to
award the contract for the construction
of battleships and to the New
port News Dry Dock and Shipbuilding
company, of Virginia, at their bid of
81. 10000 for each ship. 1t was found
upon a. careful inspection of the law
authorizing the construction of the ships
that the department could not go behind
the face of the bids, so it was not posi-
bic to allow the other bidders to- scale
down their bids to meet the low bid of
the Newport News company, save with
their consent. While it was the inten-
ton of Congress to have one of the ships
built on the Pacific coast if the terms
were reasonable in order to carry out
this intent Secretary Herbert would be
obliged to declare that the difference be-
tween the Newport News bid of 81, $50, 900
for one ship and the Union Iron works,
of San Francisco, bid of $2,740,000 for one
ship was only a. reasonable difference,
which he could scarcely do in the face
Of the decision made by his predecessor,
Secretary Tracy. that this difference
should not in any case exceed per cent

intendent in sending out cars this morn
ing violated the company's agreement of
Monday by giving preference to the new
or non-union men. The old employees
gathered together ard after watching the
cars going out for some time, with i'm
ported rnotormen and conductors, started
d revolt. Distractions were placed on the
tracks and a mob of ten thousand people
gathered and began to stone the cars. A
squad of mounted police was called to the
scene and in a short time the mob was
dispersed after several arrests had been
made.
The Second and Third street lines were
also in trouble for a. little while from the
same cause, but peace was restored on
both branches by the company agreeing
TO put the old men to work. On the other
lines cars were run almost altogether by
old men and there was no trouble. All

out moleStation.
About o'clock this morning the brick
stables attached to the handsome country
residence of John Lowber Welsh, presi-
dent of the Union Traction company, in
Germantown, was burned, enta1ling loss
of $4,000 The bitter feeling existing
against Mr. Welsh because of his attitude
during the strike leads to general belief
that the fire was of incendiary origin. Mr..
Welsh does not think so, however. He
says it was probably due to the careless
ness of a servant employed in the stables.
The police are investigating the matter.

the probable motive for the same.
