STILL the Mint scandal is not
cleared up, and not much informa-
ton about the shortage can be OBJ
tanned by the reporters. Enough
has been found out, it is stated, to
show that the crookedness has ex-
tended back for several years, and
the shortage will amount to consid-
erably more than was at first ex-
pected.

THERE is considerable specula-
ton in regard to the rise in silver
for the past two weeks; how hight
it will 90, what caused the raise,
how long it will last, etc. Those
who entertain an idea that there
will be any permanently to the
raise should disabuse their minds
Of it at once. Silver has gone up
few cents an ounce simply because
there is some Likelihood Of there
being demand for that commodity
by China and Japan. The raise in
silver is the same as would take
place in wheat if there was a sud
den great demand for it through
drouth or famine. The raise in
silver as it takes place now, while
it may take the price of other com
modities up trihe with it, will-not
establish confidence enough in the
white metal, among mine owners,
to cause them to do any very extern
sive work in developing silver
mines. 1t costs money, and lots of
it, to start up mines that have lain
idle for years, and the mine owners
are not going to spend much money
on so uncertain a proposition as it
now it that silver will reach a dol
tar an ounce and remain there for
any length of time. However, the
slight raise in the metal has made
a change for the better in business
all around, and shows what pros
perity would take place if silver
was placed OH an equal footing
with gold as money metal of this
country instead of a commodity.
Then silver would be worth $1.29
an ounce; there would be but tri
fling fluctuations in the price of the
metals at any time, mine oweners
would expend money in developing
their properties, railroads would
do quadruple the business they are
now doing, new lines would be
built, prices of all staple comnnodi-
ties would advance, so would the
price of labor, and all industries
would be in a thriving condition,
with hundreds of thousands of the
idle men now in the country at
work at their respective avocations.

CHARACTER SKETCH.
SECOND SERIES.
No. 8.

Did you ever notice the patronizing
air Of some people toward society They
live and have their being in society;
they have scarcely a thought outside Of
it. Yet they pretend to deprecate it.
They would impress you with the idea
that the social yoke is CALLING, that they
would gladly cut loose from society,
but society will not hear Of separation.
They say, Next year am not going in
society. l didn't intend to this year,
but somehow it is SO hard for one to get
out after once getting in" They are
always going out, but in reality they
are.getting farther in. They don't want
to get out. They are not very happy
but out OF society they would
be miserable. They would have nothing
to do, nothing to think about 1t would
be as bad as starvation.

thing for society myself, but Mary has
always been used to it, and / can't ex-
pect her to give it up for my sake. So /
go on her account" Some people "go"
because they haven't any children,
others go because they have children
they want to do the right thing by
them. And SO it goes. The truth Of
the matter is they go in society for the
same reason that they eat three meals

KENTUCKY DEMOCRATS Do NOT
FAVOR FREE SILVER
COINAGE.

LOUISVILLE, KY, June 24-The State
democratic Convention, for the pur-
pose OF selecting a candidate for Gov
eeL4or, Will begin with a fight. The
nsnt will start on the temporary or
sanlzatlon, and whichever way it may
% the Chairman, it seems prob
aoIe, will be a sound money man.
The Hardin men, although Hardin
Is a free silver advocate, will put up
Juoge William Beckner, of Winches-
YER sound money man, for tempo
rary Chairman, while the Clay follow
efs Will select for the place w. J. Stone,
Oh Lyons county.
Inc ball was set rolling this after
loon, when the convention to nominate
9ral!road commits sioner for the Second
ulsCrlcG met. Robert J. Breckenridge,
d 1rother Of W. @. P. Breckenridge,
anu silver man, Yves elected tempo
Iary CHAIRMAN, and the temporary
mGIieahlzaGlon was made permanent.
Inere was little that YVES significant
aeouC 20 Gays convention. The Office
OF railroad commissioner pays only
" 600 a year, yet a whole afternoon
was consumed In speech making and
the organization of a convention to
name him. George H. Alexander was
Ch9 choice Of tO-day's convention.
Inc rotundas Of all the hotels are to-
night full Of delegates, and others are
coming IN on every train. All the can
dldaGes for Gubernatorial honoIs have
opened headquarters, but it is now con-
ceded that the fight is between two
only-Cassius M Clay, Jr of Bourbon
county, and P, Watt Hardin, of Frank
lin county. Both claim their nomina
ton to morrow on the first ballot, but
it Is alleged that should the Hardin
men fail to win on the initial ballot
they are beaten. Ia any case, the as
pect tonight looked at from an entirely
impartial standpoint, is not bright for
the silver men. Still, many changes
may be made before tomorrow, and
those who h ave the in erests OF the
white metal at heart have by no means
given up the fight.
Senator j. @ S. Blackburn, whose
political career will be, for a while at
least, interrupted should free silver
fall in the coming battle, is here, and
working hard. His most formidable
opponent, James B McCreary, who
stands committed for sound money, as
Blackburn does for silver, is straining
every nerve to have an honest cur
rency plank in the platform. Should
he succeed he will in all probability be
the next Senator from kentucky.
There are other candidates for the
place on a sound money platform, but
Mr.. McCreary is far in the lead of all.
AS between Clay and Hardin for the
nomination for Governor, it looks, at
a late hour to night, as if the Clay men
had slightly the better of the situation.

ministration endorsed by a vote of GA

OPPOSED TO FREE COINAGE.
The Union League Club of Philadelphia
Goes on Record.

NSSS va N~(SA0"
PHILADELPHIA, June 24.-The Union
League Clue of Philadel: hia, one of
the strongest Republican organizat atoms
in the United States, put itself on rec
ord tonight as opposed to the free coin
age of silver. The agitation in favor
Of free silver led to the calling of a
special meeting of the club to learn the
sentiment of the members on the cur
rency question. The following resolu-
ton was offered at the meeting:
The Union League Club of Philadel-
phia, faithful to the Republican party,
and believing it to be the settled doc
trine of the party that the honor of the
nation and the interests of all its citi-
zens require the maintenance of a ne
tional currency, every dollar Of which,
whether in gold, silver, or notes, shall
be of stable value and of equal purchas
ing power, hereby declare it's OppOsl-
ton to a debasement of the national
currency by the admission Of silver to
free and unlimited coinage at the ar
bitrary ratio of Is to 1
The resolution was adopted with
very little opposition. Some Of the
members were Of the opinion that the
Union League should not put itself On
record in this matter, but the prevail
ing sentiment was in favor Of declaring
against free silver.
Some little excitement was inter
jected into the meeting by William E.
Lockwood. He made q motion that
the resolution be referred to a ballot Of
the entire club
President Silas W. Petit refused to
entertain Mr.. Lock woods motion IN
less it was put in writing. Before Mr..
Lockwood got his motion written, the
question was put, and the resolution
was carried.
When Mr.. lockwood say that his
opportunity t. off9r his motion was
lost, he rushed up to Mr.. Petit, and in
angry tones informed the President OF
the League that he was a miserable
pup and coward" h
and moved away. leaving Mr. Lock-
wood to recover his equanimty at his
leisure.

ENGAGE IN A STREET FIGHT.
A Free Scrimmage Between Whites and
Blacks at P~ocahontas

POCAHONTAs, Va, June 25 Not for
years has there been seen IN PocahOn-
tas such a street row as occurred there
this afternoon, and old residents are to-
night recounting like scenes in the
early history of the town.
There had been three fights between
individuals, and about 5 o'clock, a free
fight took place between whites and
blacks in front of the Mayors Office, in
which there were a large number OF
participants. At one time the police
were pOwless to check it, though right
in the fray, and putting forth their
utmost Efforts Fortunately no weap,
ons were used, and beyond a severe
blow, received by one man by a brick
bat in the back of the head, no damage
was done beyond split Jjps and bruised
and biackened eyes Had a khot been
fred there is no telling the rt suits.
The origin of the fight cannot be
Termed. 1t is reported that n Of the
negroes who seemed to be most as
saulted had left the union and gone
back to work, and that this was the
cause of the difficulty. This report
could not be established as a fact. Most
Of those engaged in the fracas are
either miners at work or strikers. All
is quiet tonight.

Catholics in Cleveland Not Inclined to
