| 1cfc, dotnofize0 the coinage OF the
standard silver dollar of 412I grains.
1t authorized the purchase of not more
than 81. 900, 600 nor less than $2.000.-
900 worth of silver per month. Wheth-
er more than $2,000.000 a month
ton OF the secretary of the treasury.
who aiscays used his discretionary pow
er against silver. The full legal ten
der quality of the standard dollar was
also restored. The president of the
| United States vetoed this measure, but
| by a two-thirds vote of both houses of
Congress it was passed over the presi-
! dents veto.
The act known as the Sherman bull
lion purchase act. was passed by Con-
gress July IA, 1890. This authorized
the purchase monthly by the govern
| ment. of 100000 ounces of silver
bullion, but limited the coinage to 3
C00,000 ounces per month, until July
1891, and latter that so much as may
be necessary to provide for the re-
/, demption of the treasury notes herein
provided for" That part of the Bland
act of 1878 which authorized the pur-
chase and coinage of not less than two
million nor more than four million
dollars worth of silver bullion per
month was repealed by the act of 1890.
The act of November /, 1898, re-
pealed the silver bullion purchasing
clause of the Sherman law of 1890.
The bullion purchase act of 1890 was
very unsatisfactory to the masses of
the people, being only a compromise
measure pushed by Wall street to side
| track free silver measure; but this
| this law was the only one in existence
| that authorized the coinage of legal
| tender standard dollars, and the people
opposed it's repeal unless something
better in favor of silver were enacted.
| The gold standard men, however, who
urged its passage to sidetrack free sill
| ver-after they had accomplished that
purpose-led the fight for its repeal
| because they knew it's repeal would
exclude silver from place in the coin
age.
| All subsequent attempts made to en-
act laws restoring silver to coinage on
equal terms with gold as existed for
the first 81 years of the nations exls-
tence have been in vain. Even the
peoples demands that the seigniorage,
ernment's vaults, be coined and put in
circulation, were refused, and the sill
yer belonging to the government lies
there idle and useless, while the goy-
| ernment is issuing bonds at the be-
hests of the American and European
money barons to buy gold with. Not
only have they .'forcedn (?) the peo-
pies unfaithful servants to buy gold,
but the government has to pay nearly
two prices for it; which demonetiza-
tion of silver has allowed the financial
conspiration to corner. Thus we see
the nation and the people are in the
merciless grasp of the gold combine
of the world. The people have it in
their power to either pusillanimously
submit. or to tear off the shackles by
concerted, patriotic action. Which
will they do?

From Murrayville, Ills.

There is but little transpiring here
that would be of interest to the read
ers of the REGISTER; hence write only
now and then. Our politics, and our
weather, are pretty much the same as
yours.
Our crops went booming with the
rain in July, but since then heat. and
drouth, have given them bad set
back. To-day we had little rain;
but not enough to more than lay the
dust.
Fruit of all kinds is superabundant,
except grapes; but it is generally of
poor quality. and falling so badly that
good apples will probably be scarce
this winter. For what is good there is
no market, and hogs are getting most
of. it. As the country people are
crowded, by high rents, into town. and
the mass of townpeople become poorer.
the market for produce is lessened and
hence a glut. and low prices. if we
have fair crop of anything.
Lately attended a mass-meeting of
labor men in Jacksonville. / was not
surprised at the speakers. because |
knew them, and knew they were all
..George" men; but was surprised at
the hearty manner in which the au-
dience approved of the abolition of
landlordism and the removal of all
taxes from the products of labor.
Again and again the large crowd en-
cored pointed references to such a
consummation. The great mass of
mankind have, in all times and climes
and un der all forms of government
alike, not excepting our own, been
mere vassals, and serfs. because they
would not perform their public duties
and acquire decent knowledge of the
simplest principles of political econo-
my; but it now begins to look as
though the people were going to do
business in business way and vote
for principles rather than for party.
Last winter our legislature passed
an act compelling the directors to keep
hoisted, from a staff on top of the
building, a national flag four by eight
feet in every school district. 1t
seems to have been partly specula-
ton in bunting, and partly little spite
on the part of some silly A. P. AS. and
nine men out of every ten utterly con-
denim the act. 1t would have been all
right in China. but not here. These
hullaballoo patriots ought to have gone
the whole hog, and required the direc-
tors to buy six-pounder to salute the
flag at hosting every morning; and
they should have required the children
to form in line, and uncover while it
was being run up. The children of
rackrented farmers can hardly be made
patriotic by such insanity Something
better in their dinner buckets, better
school houses, better and larger
grounds might have improved them;
but this kind of lollypop is disgusting
ly silly and will annoy both old and
young. A flag, exposed as the law
requires, will last about month and
costs 1925; then the teachers will
want $5 a month more for hoisting
and taking down. The thing is like
ly to prove Gesler's hat.
As close light rain is falling; but
a months rain would not wet the
ground as deeply as it requires, for we
have got the country drained till it
sheds like ducks back.

Two humbugs held forth on Market
square Saturday night, both deliver
ing harangues to attract a crowd.
One had the advantage over the
other. however. as through the
courtesy of the mayor he was not
only allowed to apply his avocation
without license. but was given the
city's property in which to do it. 1t
is time this unheard of and outrageous
discrimination was stopped. II
nuisances are to be tolerated they
should all fare alike, and none of
them should be allowed to use the
property which all classes of people
pay for.

The Origin OF Story Attributed to Twen-
ty Handsome Women.
Lady Harriet D'Orsay was really, &C.
cording to Mr. Sala, in his "reminiscences
published recently, the heroine of q
story which has been told in ut least 90
forms of 20'different ladies of fashion.
She was presiding at stall at vente
de charlie, or bazaar, held in aid of
the fund of some asylum or another,
when there came up the Duke of Or
leans, son and heir Of King Louis Phi
lippe The duke, after some polite small
talk, began to extol the beauty of her
hair, ard indeed her Henrietta Maria
couture had never looked glossier or soft
er than it did this day.
"Oh," said his royal highness, eff
could only possess one of those enchant-
ing ringlets!'
''How much would monseigneur give
for one," asked Lady Harriet gravely,
"5, coo francs?'
Give thousand francs!' repeated the
duke. "a mere bagateller'
six thousand francs:"
Anything SO charming lady chose
to ask
81 will not be extortionate, pursued
Lady Harriet. 1--WE will say 5,OOO.'
And then she very composedly pro-
duced dainty little pair of scissors,
shipped off tho adorable Henrietta
Maria ringlet, wrapped it in silver pa
per and handed it with dignity to the
duke. His royal highness looked very
straight down his nose, and returning
Lady Harriet's salute stalked some
what gloomily away. But his privy
purse duly forwarded the money next
day

INDIAN UNIFORMS.
Change for the Better in U. =. Train
ing BchOOls-Suits for the Reser-
walton Braves.

Washington, Nov. 23.-An advance step
has been taken by the Indian bureau this
year in the matter of the clothing distri-
buted to the children at Indian schools, and
it is possible that the reform may be ex-
tended to the adult Indians themselves
on the reservations. Hitherto there has
been no unity or system about the kind
of uniforms provided at the various
schools, but it has depended in each case
upon the taste of the superintendent of
the school, and the result has been that
some of the children have gone to their
reservation homes in vacation neatly at
tired, while others have been 80 shabbily
dressed as to prejudice the Indian pa
rents against the schools. One regular
uniform for pupils in all these schools,
besides doing away with invidious con-
trasts, will emphasize the relations of the
schools to the central governing author
ity at Washington.
It is the desire of the Indian bureau to
educate the brave out of his blanket and
leggings into the clothing in uss in civil
lied white communities by providing a
natty looking blue flannel suit in place of
the gray-brown shoddy now in nse. The
latter is now rarely worn by any Indian
who has any pride of race remaining in
him; he prefers to draw the clothing is
sued to him and sell it to the first white
man he meets on the edge of the reserva-
tion, by whom he is usually cheated out
of half its value.

The Pacific Roads.

San Francisco, Nov. 23.-Editor Rose
water, Of the Omaha Bee, has communi-
Gated with Mayor Sutro concerning tho
status of the Pacific railroad funding bill.
He thinks some concerted action should
be taken by the cities along the line Of
the roads to defeat the refunding schemes.
In letter to Mayor Sutro he says:
"You.have doubtless noted the recon-
mendations made by the government di.
rectors Of the Union Pacific railroad and
the scheme of reorganization BY the, Van
derbilt syndicate. It seems TO me that
all the people west of the Missouri are
vitally concerned in the winding mp of
the Union and Central Pacific railroads.
Ny position for the last ten years hiss
been that the mortgages should be closed
and the roads sold to the highest bidder
and operated on an actual basis, under
such restrictions as might be deemed
necessary for the protection Of the pa
irons Of the road and the prevention of
excessive rates."
