HOW OONSIDERATEl

The Sound Currency Committee of
the Reform Club has just issued Il
short pamphlet entitled "Free Coin
age Dlssected 1t puts the case
against free coinage in the clearest
possible light, and the language is so
simple and the sentences so short
that no ordinary mechanic or farmer
need have any difficulty in under
standing the discussion. Elk Con
gresham John Dewitt Warner, the
author of the pamphlet, dissects, in
turn, each of the principal claims of
the free coinage advocates.
OF course the main point made is
that the average mechanic or farmer
has to be served with a Juvenile sort
of literature to bring it down to his
comprehension and this style of writ
ing is affected by class who really
know nothing about the class they are
addressing and are only doing the
bidding of a class who actually know
less. All of the gold bug literature
that is flooding the country, as rule
assumes tnat the masses of the people
are too ignorant to be addressed as
equals Taken as Il whole it is the
most insulting aud despisable mass
of lying rot i'm aginable.
Here is specimen;
\ proposition to double the wheat cror
by measuring it in bushels" one-balf OF
the present size wuu be laughed at bv
every Intelligent farmer No one would
be deceived into thinking that the ounnti-
" OF wheat grown would be any larger
though it was called twice ms many bush
els, But when it comes to measuring val
urs. instead Of quantities. great many
people are victims of the curious delnson
that by adopting standard of value
worth only half of that now used. this
country would at once double the value
# all the products of labor They are
entirely mistaken Changing the measure
would not in the slightest degree increase
the real value in use or exchange of the
goods measured. and the pretense of the
sllverles that free coinage would double
the value of | property is merely a fraud
by which they hope to fool the people in
10 voting for tifty-cent dollars.
Maybe not but the majority of the
people in the United States prefer n

hundred cent dollar the gold robbers
are attempting to grind out of the peo-
pie.

Our fair challenge to those who
believe the ownership of land and
water should be separate remains UNI
taken. Perhaps they are aware they
cannot make single defence or show
ing to sustain the position. They
might make the thing plausible in a
fence corner to an audience Of one,
but they cannot in newspaper.

Parties have just returned to Oma-
la from trip through Nebraska.
They were sent out to estimate the
amount of the coming crops. In the
report just sent in, the value is set at
thirty seven millions of dollars; but
the report does not state whel her the
value is based on the despised silver
dollar, at so cents or the imaculate
sound dollar at 200 cents. But any
farmer can see the beauty of the sys.
tenn that pays him one dollar for ten
bushels of corn instead of two dol.
lars for the same amount. He can
buy so much more with one dollar
than he can with two. But some
way when the question of paying old
debts comes mp the beneficial feature
is never advanced as an argument for
sound dollars.

THE MISSiSSIPPrS RISE.
The Water Has Advanced at the Rate Of
One Foot an Hour.

ST. LOUIS, Dec. 21.-The unprece-
denied rainfall of the past three days,
which has been general throughout
Missouri. has filled to overlooking all
the creeks and rivers within its con-
fines. Those streams tributary to the
Missouri have added to the height of
that river, which in turn has
swelled the Mississippi. From Thurs
day morning until Friday morning the
Mississippi, which had been very low,
rose lO11 feet, and by six o'clock yester-
day evening the gauge showed rise of
10 feet According to weather bureau
report, the water advances at the rate
of one foot an hour, but there are
no fears Of a serious food, as the
danger mark is 80 feet
Residents of Little Oklahoma, in
north St. Louis, saw houseboat cap
size almost in midstream, directly in
front of their settlement, and fears are
entertained that it's occupants were
drowned.
William Hudson, farmer living in
the Salt river bottoms, few miles
north of Louisiana. Mo-, was drowned
in Grassy creek while attempting to
ford it. His body has not been re-
covered.
A report comes from Old Monroe,
Mo-, that six persons were drowned in
the Culvre river near there in an at
tempted rescue.

VEN EZUELA.



WASHINGTON, Dec. 3L-This has been
. day OF excitement and surprise in
Washington. Events moved with
rapidity, and when tho sun went down
public men in all branches of the serv-
ice were ner vous and worn out from
the tension. Reports came of decline
in securities throughout the country.
and here in Washington affairs moved
with the rapid pace OF a Kaleidoscope
The house Venezuelan commission bill
was amended in material respects bv
the senate foreign relations commit
tee, and then by a sudden change in
sentiment in the senate was passed
unanimously just as it came from the
house.
That the administration has not
moved precipitately in the Venezuelan
affair is evidenced by the fact, which
has now become known, that Secre-
tary Olney's famous letter defining the
Monroe doctrine was considered for
fully two months before being dis
patched to Ambassador Bayard for de-
livery to Lord Salisbury. Moreover,
1t is a fact that the presidents mes.
sage, while perhaps hastily reduced to
exact form, really was the subject for
deep elaboration almost six months,
for there is good reason to believe the
adverse response of Lord Salisbury to
Secretary Olney's note was expected
by the president 1t is noticed that the
presidents message is distinct ad.
vance in our attitude upon the letter
of the secretary, for, whereas, the lat
ter was confined to a declaration of a
doctrine, the former proposed action
that went far beyond that point. 1t
was this reason without doubt that
caused the message to be most care
fully considered for many months
Further inquiry into the subject
makes il appear that if the commission
to be appointed to ascertain the acts
respecting the Venezuelan boundary
finds it necessary to visit the country
and to personally locate the line, the
work will consume much more time
than is generally believed to be neces.
sarv. Outside of the voyage to Vene-
zuela, which would consume not less
than month to and from, the journey
through the wild interior of the coun-
try would be very difficult. With
small flying force OF eight lightly
equipped colonial police, the journey to
the Uruan outpost, where the collision
occurred, and which marks one end of
the line claimed by Great Britain,
could not be made in less than %
days, so that if the commission
is to make a proper examination of the
country the task, including the sea
voyage, will probably occupy almost
six months.

SATURDAYS CONGRESS.

Senator Dubois Pointed Statement-The
Speaker Announces the House Commit.
tees
WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.-The session of
the senate Saturday was notable in
bringing out very pointed statement
from Mr.. Dubois, of Idaho, who was
understood to voice the views of the
silver element in the senate, that no
financial legislation was possible along
the lines desired by President Cleve.
land. 1t was patent to every sen.
ator, Mr.. Dubois said, and should
be understood by the country, that
the presidents desire for the retire
ment of the greenbacks, or the author
ization of a bond issue, were utterly
impossible of accomplishment. The
only action the senate would take, If
twas given the opportunity to vote,
he said, would be to adopt the resolu-
ton of Mr. Vest, of Missouri, offered
earlier in the day, directing the coinage
OF silver bullion in the treasury and
the payment of government obliga-
tons in silver. The only immediate
response to the presidents message
was in the presentation of the two
resolutions favorable to silver, one by
Mr. Vest and another by Mr.. Butler,
the new populist member from North
Carolina, proposing gold payments
while the metals were at a parity and
silver payments when gold went to a
premium. Both the resolutions were
laid over and the senate went into ex-
ecutive session.
When the doors were reopened Mr..
Stewart took the floor for sharp crit
icism Of the presidents financial mes
sage and concluded by saying: Let
the president once announce that
United States obligations would be
paid in silver, and there would be nc
further raids on the treasury. If Lon.
don wanted a financial war we could
meet it.
The senate adjourned until Tuesday.
In the house Saturday the presidents
message was referred to the ways and
means committee and Speaker Reed
then announced the membership OF
the house committees. Mr.. Dingley
called up the holiday resolution and
II was referred and an adjournment
was taken till to-day.

Rumora OF the Ambassadors Recall Pos

Rumors OF the Ambassadors Recall POSI-
tive Denied In Washington.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.-Reports were
current here yesterday, due largely to
the excited state of the public on the
Venezuelan question, and to the prior
attack on him in the house Of repre-
sentatives by Mr.. Barrett and others,
that the recall of Ambassador Bay
ard was imminent Private Sec
rotary Thurber, when asked
about the matter, made an
absolute denial, adding that the
ambassadors recall was not con.
templated. 1t is believed here that
the president would not at this time
make any change in the embassy to
Great Britain, for it could not but ag.
gravate the present situation.
