!. ANoTHnR FINANc1A1 PLAN.

To the Editor of the New York Herald:
You ask in you comments upon Cleve-
lands message in relation to the financial
questions for plans of something better
than he suggests. 1 will submit a few
propositions.
Instead of retiring the greenbacks
amend the law by making them a legal
tender for all debts, public and private,
and receive them for custom duties coin
sold, as we now, at its present worlds
value; pay all Of the governments in
debtedness in the yellow metal If de-
sired, the government to secure the gold
by the issue of legal tender greenbacks,
and by so doing we shall divorce our
local currency from our international ex-
changes and the outflow and inflow of
the metal will not concern us any more
than similar movements in wheat or any
ether commodity.
The fault in our present system is the
promise to pay a paper dollar in a gold
dollar. Practical redemption is the ex-
change of currency for those things which
we desire, and under such system bank
ers and merchants would secure their
gold in the open market and not by raids
upon the United States treasury.
Money should be issued in a receivable
FORM and should not be a promise to
pay, but a promise to exchange, its sta
bility alone depending upon the solvercy
of the government issuing 1t, A guaran-
tee of legal exchange by q goverrment to
its people of its currency carries with 1t
all of the confidence, all the security
which could attend a currency redeem
able in gold, since the ability to redeem
in gold presupposes a solvent govern
ment, without which no currency is good.

NFBRNAL MACHINES
Discovered in the Chicago
POstoffice
FOR PULLMAN AND ARMOUR
Plot Revealed to Employees by I'm

Of Business in Danger.
FoR PULLMAN ANo ARMOUR

Chicago, Dec. 16.-A conspiracy to assaa-
sinate George M, Pullman and Phillip d.
Armour has just come to light and every
effort Is being made to apprehend the
perpetrators Of the plot.
This morning two packages were re-
ceived at Station L. OF which William
fl. Hanlon is superintendent, directed to
p. ID. Armour and George NJ Pullman,
respectively, and the packages were final
ly turned over to Postofice Inspector
Stuart for inspection. They proved to be
internal machines. which had they reach
ed their destination and been opened with
out suspicion by the men for whom they
were intended, would have blown them
into eternity. The packages were taken
up to Collector Phillip Kirkwood, station
L. The postal authorities were already
on the lookout for suspicious packages.
for Mr.. Armour, as q stranger had noti-
fled the attaches Of his ofIice that an
internal machine was on its way u Arr
mour through the mail. He claimed to
Nnve overheard an exposure OF the con-
spiracy from two men talking IN an alley.
A similar visit was paid Pullman last
night, presumably by the same person,
who took the trouble to inform Armour's
people.
The dangerous character Of the pack
ages has been established without q
doubt. A trial test OF their contents was
made and this proved that the packages
contained explosives In force akin to dyn-
amite. The packages were about eight
inches long with four inch ends. They
were wooden boxes. each containing a
drawer. Matches were SO arranged inside
as to be ignited by friction with SAND
paper, which was glued to the box above
the drawer. when the latter was pulled

Incentive to this change is found IN the
difficulty OF harmonizing all the elements
IN the party, but II is justified by the
growth Of the senate as a body.

ic leaders in the speakers room tn af-

increasing the number of committees and
to deal with election contests.
Reed invited Dlngley, Daniels, Hender-
son, Cannon, Payne. and Dalzell, of the
Republicans and Crisp, Mcmillan and
Bailey, of the Democrats. to a discus
sion. The plan outlined by the Republl-
cans was for three committees of nine
members, six Republicans and three Dem
ocrats, each committee to he divided into
three subcommittee of two Republicans
ana one Democrat, While this an w uld
give the minority smaller proportionate
representation than 1t had formerly, Reed
explained that the division was rendered
necessary by the scheme for sub-co-,,r,,it-
tees. with nine subcommittee, each one
would have three contests to consider ms
out OF the 3S contests four have been
practically abandoned by the failure OF
the contestants to give evidence. and
Mccain, of Chicago has conceded his
seat to the Republican claimant, Belknap.
Reed said the Republican intention was
to settle the cases strictly upon legal evil
dence and in judicial spirit.
A difference of opinion was developed
among the Democrats Crisp and Nc
milan declined to assent to the prop
osition and are understood to have held
that the proper plan If committee of the
usual size could not hear all the evidence,
would be to increase the number of the
committeeman.
Pailev took the stand that the Demo-
Gratis were bound to accept TIE assurances
of their opponents that the minority
would be fairly treated, and was dis
posed to accede to the plan. other DEM
ocrats were inclined to the opinion that
the scheme was one to pnseat the DEM
ocrats with greater facility.
No understanding was reached and II
was by courtesy that the Democrats were
consulted, as the Republicans intend to
carry out their plan.

You are doubtless aware that the Yukon

ABOUT RAIN.

Rain is an accumulation OF the tiny
particles of the vapor of the atmosphere
into drops. These drops, first small Of
size, attract Others Of their kind and be-
come drops Of such magnitude that they
fall to the earth because of their weight.
There is a limit to the quantity of water
which the air is capable of absorbing
and retaining as invisible vapor. Warm
air is able to hold more than cold air.
Hence, when the air which Is saturated

son whatever, II can no longer retain its

Young Lady Attacked In the Darkness
and Stabbed.


Albany, Ore, Dec. 16.--A dispatch from
Harrisburg says:
An unknown assassin attempted to MUIR
der Miss Ethel Riddle here Saturday
night. The girl is aged about 10. ana
lives with her uncles George Henderson,.
After supper she had washed the Dishes
and stepped out of the back door to
throw out painful OF water. when she
was seized by a man in the darkness
He stabbed her in the neck and across
the wrists She broke away and ran
screaming toward the house. Mrs. Hem
derson, hearing the screams, ran to the
door, when the assailant fed.
The physician who was summoned
found the girls wounds not dangerous,
the cash In her neck having missed the
artery. Twice before. recently, Miss Rid
die says she has been the victim Of at
tempted assassination, having been nred
upon in the darkness, but her relatives
could not believe but that she was only
frightened by some promiscuous shoot
ing Her assallant was not recognized in
the darkness and the only theory as to
the cause OF the attempted murder is
that the deed was prompted by the jeal-
'ousy OF a rejected suitor. The young
lady bears an excellent reputation.
