appointments.

WAsHtNGrOS. Dec. 1.-The president
has nominated Rufus w Peckham of
New York to be associate justice of the
United States supreme court, to succeed
the late Howell L. Jackson of Tennessee.
He also nominated Riyhard Onley to be
secretary of state, and Judson Harmon
as attorney general.
Rufus w. Peckham is a resident Of
Albany, and judge Of the court of ap-
peals Of New York. His name has been
mentioned frequently for the Office to
which he was nominated.
Probably Will He satisfactory to Hill.
1t is believed his nomination will be
satisfactory to Senator Hill, whose op-
position was successful in preventing
the confirmation of Messrs. Hornblower
and Wheeler Peckham, the two New
Workers whose names were sent in by
President Cleveland. for the su.
preme court iusticeship, now held
by Justice White Of Louisiana.
Senator Hill, on several occasions,
has spoken very highly of the new NOM
inee. The nomination will go first to
the senate Judiciary committee. which
always scrutinizes closely the record of
persons named for the supreme court
bench, but in view of the high reputa-
ton Of Judge Peckham, it is believed
confirmation will follow as speedily as
consistent with the importance of the

culties we are considering may have orig
mated in an intimation or distinct allega-
tion that the bonds which have been is
sued ostensibly to replenish our gold re-
serve were really issued to supply INSULT
cient revenue. Nothing can be further
from the truth. Bonds were issued to
obtain gold for the maintenance of our
national credit. AS mas been shown, the
gold thus obtained has been drawn
again from the treas" upon United
States notes and trei y notes. This
operation would have been promptly pre-
vented if possible; but those notes, having
thus been passed TO the treasury, they be-
came the money of the government, like
any other ordinary government funds,
and there was nothing to do but to use
them in paying government expense when
needed. AT no time when bonds have
been issued has there been any considera-
ton of the question of paying the ex-
penses of the government with their pro-

THE FREE COINAGE OF SILVER
The President Cannot Sec How 1t Could
Cure Prevailing Ills.

The President Cannot Sec How 1t Could
Cure Prevailing Ills.
l have constantly had In mind the fact
that many of my countrymen, whose sim
cerity l do not doubt, insist hat the cure
for the ills now threatening us may be
found in the single and simple remedy of
the free coinage Of silver. They contend
that our minis shall be at once thrown
open to the free, unlimited and indepen-
lent coinage Of both gold and silver dol
lars Of full legal tender quality, regardless
Of the action Of any other government and
in full view of the fact that the ratio be-
tween the metals which they suggest calls
for 100 cents worth Of gold in
the gold dollar at the present standard
and only 80 cents in intrinsic worth of
silver in the silver dollar.
Those who believe that our independent
free coinage Of silver at an artificial ratio
with gold of l6 to l would restore the
parity between the metals, and conse.
quently between the coins, uphold an I'M
supported and improbable theory to the
general belief and practice of other ma
lions and to the teaching Of the wisest
statesmen and economists of the world,
both in the past and present, and what is
far more conclusive, they run counter to
our OWL actual experiences. Twice In our
earlier history our lawmakers in attempt
ing to establish a bimetallic currency un-
dertook free coinage upon a ratio which
accidentally varied from the actual rela-
tive values of the two metals not more
thar 3 per cent. In both cases, notwith-
standing greater difficulties and cost Of
transportation than now exist, the coins
whose intrinsic worth was u~ndervalued in
the ratio, gradually and surely disap-
peared from our circulation and went to
other countries, where their real value
was better recognized. Acts of ngr
were impotent to create equality where
natural causes decreed ever a slight in
equality.
In conclusion I especially entreat the
peoples representatives in this congress
who are charged with the responsibility
of inaugurating measures for the safety
and prosperity of our common country to
promptly and effectively consider the ills
of our critical financial plight. l have
suggested a remedy which my Judgment
approves. desire, however. to assure the
congress that l Am prepared to cooperate
with them in perfecting any other meas
ure promising thorough and practical re-
lief and hat l will gladly labor with them
in every patriotic endeavor to furth er the
interests and guard the welfare Of our
countrymen whom. in our respective
places of duty we have undertaken to
serve.

ESCAPE FROM JAIL.
Three Noted Criminals Make Break for
Freedom.


New YORK, July 6.-Charles Allen,
Joseph Killoran and Harry Russell,
the notorious post office thieves
who are wanted in Springfield, ILL.,,
Scranton, Pa, and other cities, while
in Ludlow street Jail yard at o'clock
Thursday morning suddenly drew re-
volvers upon their keepers took their
keys and escaped.
The streets were crowded, as they
always are in that neighborhood, and
a crowd of 1000 Hebrews chased the
escaping prisoners down Ludlow street
to Broome, where the men separated
and were soon lost in the most crowd
ed section of the streets of New York.
A mystery as yet unsolved is how the
desperate men came into possession of
their weapons. They had none when
their persons and cells were last
searched, and the prison officials de-
clare no one has visited them since.
The men are famous criminals,
and were regarded by the United
States secret service men as most
important capture when they were
arrested on Amsterdam avenue on the
1st of last June. Their bail had been
fixed at $4,000 and they were to have
come up for another examination on
Tuesday next. The police have sent
out general alarm.
