Silver and Tariff.

The New York World publishes tel
egraphic poll of the next congress, far as
obtained, on silver, the tariff and in
come tax, with the following result:
In general way it may be said that
out of Il6 members who gave unequiso-
cal answers to the silver question fifty
five are in favor of free-coinage, forty
four favor bimetaliism generally, with
the proviso of an international agree
ment. Only seventeen can be fairly
classed as favoring single gold stand.
ard, and the attitude OF some OF these
even is not definite. The South and tar
Western States are almost unanimous
for free coinage. The Central States
lean towards silver with international
bimetallic qualifications, and it is only
in New York, New England and ada :
cent eastern states that there are any
avowedly gold standard mea.
In regard to the tariff only twenty
eight members are against any change,
while thirty.five favor moderate changes
and tairty-nine are pronounced for rad
ical changes. A few are free-traders.
The moderates are chiefly those who
think changes win be necessary in order
to increase the revenues.
The income.tax question brought out
many sharp and piquant answers. Forty
nine congressman say they favor ths
principal Of the tax. Forty-seyen op-
pose it A great many evaded the ques
| tion or failed to answer it.-Ex.

in San Francisco Saturday night. The
bullet struck on the temple and glanced
off. Emmet said he had no cause for
shooting his wife, aud attributed his
deadly assault upon her to too much
