MONsIGEOR TUaBHFs ADDRESS
industrious Poor of Europe Anxious to
Emigrate.

Mgr. Nugent of Liverpool, Eng. spoke
in an interesting vein of his earlier
visits to America, and how he was inn
pressed Ev the wonderful resources Of
the country. In 1878 he came to
Minnesota for the first time. and, under
the guidance of Dillon 0'Brien, made a
visit to various parts of the state, the
result of which was the sending of
many immigrants to this state. Re-
Gently he had made another tour Of the
state, and was amazed al the progress
and improvement Of the country. The
industrious poor of Europe, he said,
were only too anxious to secure homes
in this Northwestern country, recognize.
ing in it the garden Of the new world,
and the steamship companies would
g ably cooperate with the railroad
companies of America to distribute
such literature as the convention might
prepare for circulation.

enables the house of bishops to ap-
prove just as much of the legislation
of the junior body and to indefinitely
kill by failure to act all resolutions,
reports and other matters with which
it may not be in accord.
This was the first victory for the re-
vision commission after several days
of debate, but their jubilation was
short lived. BY an Overwhelming ma
jority the house refused to exclude do
mestic missionary bishops in the count
ing of a quorum.
Then came the celebrated section
three. providing for the election of
primus, or head of the house of bishops,
to hold office for life, save in the
event of voluntary resignation.
Quickly the amendments piled up.
One delegate favored designation of
president bishop another arch bish-
op," still another presiding bishop"
one more ''primate. The house was
not in favor of any one of the first
three, nor did it kindly regard a
substitute that the bishops elect their
own presiding officer and give him
whatever designation they might see
fit. A vote had not been reached ON
the "Primate" proposition when the
house adjourned.

Lincoln Tablet al Gettysburg.

The act of congress to establish
national military park at Gettysburg,
Pa, contained an appropriation OF
$1,000 for suitable bronze tablet, con-
tanning on it the address delivered by
President Abraham Lincoln, at Gettys-
burg, November 10, 1868, on the occa-
sion of the dedication of the national
cemetery at that place. Provision was
also made for a pedestal The duty OF
having this tablet made was devolved
upon the secretary of war, and Secre-
tary Lamont has instructed Col. John
NJ. Wilson, corps of engineers, in
charge of public buildings and grounds,
to see to the prompt execution of the
statutory provision, and Col. Wilson is
now making the necessary arrange

DISCOVERING HER LOSS.

of war times, mentioned above. Tho
first issue of these small notes was
made in 1868, and of the scent notes
then put forth nearly one-half--more
than 45 per cent, accurately speaking
has never been asked payment for.
The same thing is true of 80 per cent.
of the 1o-cent notes, 20 per cent. of the
25-cent. notes and II per cent. of the
50-cent notes. 1t is shown by the fig
ured treasury total that of the $20, ,0O0,-
900 worth of these little notes first
issued more than "a, ,O0O, 900 still remains
outstanding, and it will probably never
be presented for redemption.
While the government gains by rea-
son of the losses sustained by individ-
uals in the destruction of paper money,
the treasury is slightly depleted by the
wearing away of gold coin. Every
gold piece is of course alloyed, for, as is
well known, gold is such a soft metal
that it could not be used for money
without amalgamation with baser met
ais. The gold in the vaults of the
treasury department lies untouched for
months, and some of it for years, en-
cased in small canvas bags. With
every change of national administra.
tion a new treasurer is appointed, and
then every dollar is counted, SO that
the outgoing treasurer can receive re-
oeipts from his successor showing that
his accounts are correct. 1t is singu-
lar and commendable fact that treas.
urers of the United States have been
exceptionally honest and capable. On
one occasion, in 1885, when the treasury
cash was counted, three pennies were
missing in a sum total of hundreds OF
millions of dollars. These pennies were
| afterwards found on the floor of one OF
the vaults. They had fallen out of an
old and worn-out canvas bag. Although
the coin is seldom handled, the govern,
mcnt loses something every time by the
friction of the gold, but the loss is
almost infnitesimal, as compared with
the gains which are made on the issues
of paper money. SMITH d. FRY.

A Vanishing FnllncN.

Every indicati on points to the sub
sidence of the free silver at sixteen to
one. Tomented by the ring of silver
producers and spectators who hope to
make millions by free coinage law,
it looked for a time as though the
south and west were overwhelmingly
in favor of it, and that the wave of
feeling would deluge part of the
east. But the campaign of education
which was begun at once soon led the
people to see the truth; and while tens
of thousands still believe there is not
enough money in the country, yet
they were unwilling to encourage n
plan which would simply cut the value
of the dollar in half, and bring on con-
fusion and financial ruin. Neither of
the two great parties will advocate
free coinage at sixteen to one in its ma
tional platform next year; nor will
there be split in either over it, The
fallacy will be left to the dying popu-
lis party, and vanish with it, as did
the fat money delusion with the death
OF the greenback party. - Toledo

TEN MEN SLAIN.
Awful Result of an Explosion of Gas in .
Mine.


WiIKEsBARRE, Pa, Oct. s.-Shortly
after o'clock Monday afternoon an
explosion of gas occurred in the Dor
rance mine, operated by the Lehign
Valley Coal company, which is situated
in the northwestern part of the city.
At 8 o'clock five men, all badly
burned, were brought to the surface.
AT midnight the bodies of the mem
bers of the engineer corps and six
laborers were brought to the surface
by the rescuing party.
The following are dead:
William Cahill, w. L. Jones and l. Owens,
mining engineers Daniel Reese, mine boss,
and six unknown laborers
Injured-Robert Blanchard and william
Miller, fatally; George Lally' Michael Moss
and Joseph Murphy, seriously burned
When Blanchard was found he was
being slowly roasted to death. The
gas had set fire to his clothes and
they had been almost burned off his
body when the rescuers came upon
him. Miller with his broken arms
could render him no assistance, and
Blanchard was so pinned down by the
debris that he could not make use of
his hands.
Blanchard gave his version of the ex-
plosion to a reporter as he lay on cot
in the hospital. Shortly before o'clock
the engineer corps decided to make a
survey of portion of the old aban.
doned workings, known as the Bal
timore section, which underlie the
Wilkesbarre baseball clubhouse, l
mile distant from the main opening of
the mine. The party, which was in
charge of Fire Boss Daniel Reese,
who is an expert on mine gases,
consisted of William Jones, William
Cahill, and Llewellyn Owens, Blanch-
ard and Miller were left behind to
finish some work that had been started
in the morning. About twelve minutes
after the party had left Miller and
blanchard the explosion occurred.
Both Miller and Blanchard were
knocked down by its force. Flying
timbers also struck Miller, breaking
both his arms. After being knocked
down Miller and Blanchard remem.
bered nothing until they were revived

remainder. Some few attempts have
been made to swindle the treasury in
this way by false affidavits, but the de-
partment believes that it has always

were for 3, 3, 10, 10, 25 and so cents each,
and were commonly called 'shinplas-
ters" in those days. The records of the
treasury department show that moro
than $11, ,000,0 of this currency was
never sent to the treasury for redemp-
ton, and Uncle Sam was just that much
ahead in the transaction. 1t is pre-
sumed that nearly all of it was destroyed
in various ways during the war.
1t is estimated that the government
gains little over per cent. on all OF
its issues of paper currency by contrac'
tion in various ways. The stoves OF
the country play an important part
but there is a great deal of money in
paper boarded every year by persons
who die without revealing it's where
abouts and much of it is never found

other purposes. Not long ago the body
of a murdered man was discovered il

composed and with pocketbool1 filled
with greenbacks. The latter were sen

tranquility in Constantinople and it's

and wholesale imprisonment of Arme-
mans here. In addition, the powers
demand the release of all prisoners
who are innocent of wrong doing and
the cessation of arrests.

THE PEOPLES SAVINGS.
Testimony That Refutes tho Charges of
FREQ Silver Fanatics,

FREQ SILVER FANATICS
The official figures in the statistical
abstract of the United States for the
fiscal year ended June 80, 1894, show
that there were in that time 4,777, 6S7
depositors in savings banks, and that
the deposits aggregated Sl,747,96l $50.
This is not a complete showing, as the
banks of number of states we're not
reported 1t is estimated that, with
such banks included, the amount of
deposits would have been increased to
about 81, 900, 200, 900 In the absence of
the official figures for the year ended
June 30, 1895, it is impossible to tell
how the deposits of that year compare
with those of the previous one; but it
is safe to say that there has been
considerable decrease, on account of
the unfavorable conditions that pre-
vailed in the closing months of 1894
and the early part of 1895. When
there is full employment for labor,
and wages are good, the deposits of
the savings banks show a regular in.
crease, which represents the surplus to
the credit of the workingmen after
the payment of their expenses of liv-
ing. There is no better barometer of
the prosperity of the country. The
money in the savings banks is the
most reliable indication OF the ma
terial situation of the wage-earners
| who constitute such a large proportion
of the people, and whose welfare is the
basis of national good fortune.
If we cannot know what the de-
crease has been in the past year, how
ever, we can at least see that the saw
ings banks deposits during the twelve
months above noted were more than
| twice as large as those of 1873, the
year in which 1.-The great crime" of de-
monetization of silver was perpetrated.
We are continually being told by Mr..
Bland and his fellow-fanatics that the
effect of said legislation in the inter
ests of stable currency and the main
tenance of the public credit was to
make life harder for the laboring peo.
pie. But these figures directly and
conclusively refute that sort of talk by
demonstrating that the surplus earn
ings of that class increased 80 per cent.
in the year ended June 80, 1894, over
the fiscal year in which 1.-The great
crime" is alleged to have blighted the
general prosperity and brought all
kinds of misfortune to pass. The tes
timony of the savings banks returns is
practical and unanswerable in this re-
lation. 1t is impossible for working
men to make deposits unless they carr
more money than it costs them to live
and when such deposits are doubled
under a given policy it is folly to de.
clare that policy fraud and an out
rage. The simple truth is, as these
statistics prove, that the legislation o
1873 with regard to silver, which the
free-coiners never tire of denouncine
in the most indignant and scurrilou'
terms, did not do any harm to tn,
wage-earners, but tended rather to In
crease their savings, and to promot'
their comfort and happiness.

His Yard.
WASHINGTON, Oct S.-The managers
of the bett-Fitzsimmons' mill will
meet with as effectual opposition at
the hands of the United States gov
ernment as they did with Gov.
Culberson, of Texas, if they
endeavor to pull off the big fight in the
Indian territory. The United States
the fight, and steps looking to
that end are now being taken
by the interior department, and
should the managers of the affair in
wade the Indian territory they will be
elected as intruders. The class of
people that will be brought
into the territory to witness
the fight are considered a de-
moralizing element to the Indians,
and their presenceis is not wanted there.
United States officers of the terri
tory will be instructed to see that
the statutes are enforced and
the fight prevented. Ample means
would be furnished these officials to
eject intruders, and the chiefs of the
five civilized tribes will be instructed
to cooperate with the United States Off
GERS in the matter. Officials at Wash
ington laugh at the absurdity of the
statement that the principals of the
fight would join the Choctaws or some
other tribe to enable them to success

pull off the mill Such action on their
part would not aid them in the least
in the fulfllment of their object
