Senator Mills, who q while ago ap
peared to be converted to the Presidents
sound money views has backsIidden ap-
parently, for he has introduced in the
Senate bill which gives the secretary of
the treasury discretion to redeem legal
tender notes in gold or silver when the
reserve is above $780, 900, 600, and requires
him to redeem in silver only when the
reserve falls below that point. Fresh
masses of legal tenders are to be issued to
meet deficiencies in the revenue, and the
silver bullion in the treasury is to he
coined up into halves, quarters and

INTERESTING FACTS
Mr.. pERABo AND THE cHICKERING PIANO.

1t is now thirty years since first used
the Chickering piano, and have never
accorded it any public praise except that
of using it, This silence has been caused
by the shameful warfare between the
traders, who, without one spark of artis-
tic sense, have paraCied their selfish inter-
ests on every sheet In both hemispheres
Shrinking from the din of such coarse
controversy, sincere and disinterested
musical Judgment naturally seeks shelter
in an inner circle of refinement and ST.
lence, despairing to enter, without loss
of self respect, that commercial sphere
which were it honorably man
aged, would be the most potent Of all
factors in securing to true merit it's de-
sired appreciation.
Under these circumstances, the fact
that no pecuniary Or other extraneous
motive has ever been offered to induce
me to use the Chickering piano speaks
for itself with sufficient force. I always
choose this piano because in my long
study Of the great masters have never
found SO true an interpreter of their ge-
MUS, or one whose workmanship can so
uniformity be deepened upon, whether
considered POLITICALLY or technically. The
keyboard is most agreeable to the touch,
evenly graded, while the bass has a nu-
sioal fullness as satisfying in it's power
as the well -proportioned treble is in its
deeply vocal and finally fute-like
quality. The orchestral gradations from
double-bass to flute are most admirably
given, better than upon any other instru-
ment have ever played. The tone is
purely mellow and musical, and lends
itself as readily to the orchestral blending
as to the more delicate conditions OF
chamber music. Finally the action is
SO we'll and evenly regulated that, in all
my long public service, I have never
found is necessary to use the soft pedal.
the touch being quite sufficient to pro-
duce every variety of shading.
The gentlemen composing the firm
have never asked me to make any written
statement about their instruments. This
notice is entirely voluntary on my part.

Lord Dunraven cables that he is COM
ing over on the eleventh to try and SUBJ
stantiate his charges of trickery in the
International yacht contest. Nobody be-
lieyes that he can. but he may be able to
show that he thought he had some ground
and did not wantonly make his accusa-
tions. This will help him some in public
estimation, though he is never likely TO
be able to command much rspect on this

The result of the special election in
Louisville on Saturday ties the Ken
lucky House of representatives and rem
ders protracted struggle for the United
States senatorship inevitable. The House
will now contain 6S Republicans and 6e
democrats and two Pouplists, one OF
whom is likely to vote with the Repub-
licans and the other with the Democrats.
and if party lines are strictly drawn it
can vote until doomsday without a
choice. Blackburn probably has nc
chance, whatever may happen, since there
are quite mum Der of Democrats that will
not vote for him. The Republicans have
the advantage since if the legislature does
not elect the governor will appoint, and
the governor is Republican.

Apparently the ministers of Ports

a thorough enforcement Of the prohibi-

that liquor shall not be sold to minors
and that saloons shall not be kept open

Our esteemed contemporary, the Argus,
finds that the Republicans are vexed
bowling mad, &C., &c.. because the
Presidents message put them in hole.
We should say thai the party put in
hole by the Presidents message was the
President himself. A year ago he was
vociferating that the present tariff law
was party perfidy and public dishonor," "
that he accepted it merely as a vantage
ground" that he was going " to continue
the war;" and much more ill the same
direction A year has passed and now
he roars on this subject as gently as
sucking dove, or, to tell the exact truth,
he does not roar at all. If there is any
hole the Argus will find by inspecting it
that the occupant OF it is Mr.. Cleveland
