A Poll of Congress.

A poll of the next Congress on
the question of the free coinage of
silver, just taken by the sound mon
ey committee of the New York
Chamber of Commerce, indicates
very clearly that no silver bill of an
inflationist character can be passed
in the next two years. According
to replies made by Representatives
to the committees inquiries, there
will be So votes in the House for free
coinage, so doubtful and 216 against
free coinage, making clear MAORI
ty of at least rs for sound money. At
the present rate of conversion among
Congressman the strength of the
silver craze next December will be
even less than is here indicated For
years past the House, as compared
with the Senate, has been the more
conservative and safer body, and its
record will be maintained in the
next Congress.
But the Senate, toe, according to the
committees poll, is proof against
the passage of free coinage bill.
Thirty nine of its members favor
such bill and forty three oppose it.
After next July Utah will probably
add two Senators to the sure silver
lite ranks, making its strength forty
one. Six Senators are omitted from
the calculation because their posi-
ton is somewhat in doubt. Their
names are Bacon, Baker, Caffrey, Nc
Bride, Martin and Wilson. Their
preference is believed to be, upon the
whole, for sound money. They are
subject to the same logic of facts
that has turned Senator Mills from
the error of his WAYS, anG it is
believed that when called upon to
take decided position they will
see the necessity of maintaining the
existing goldstandard. The recent rise
of prices and restoration of prospect
ty without "the rehabilitation of sill
yer" has knocked the bottom out of
the free coinage argument. Prices
may rise, it is seen, on the gold ba-
sis in the present and in the future,
as they have done over and over
again in the past. In the far West,
where the doctrine of free coinage is
but another phase of the Republi
can doctrine of "protectian of native
Industries, sordid self-interest
may keep the demand for free coin
age at the front, but the facts of the
business situation may be expected
to influence opinion in the South
where the fidelity to silver is com.

LincOln's Birthplace.

The following item regarding the
birthplace of Abraham Lincoln is
from the Bluegrass Clipper; Lin
coin Park, in Larue county, is to be
made one of the most historic places
in the South. On the Lincoln farm
is to be built at once log cabin on
the site of the Abe Lincoln home
stead, in which the martyred Presi-
dent of the United States was born
and spent many hours of his life
The cabin is to be built of the same
logs that were used in the original
cabin, and the same design will be
used in its construction, The logs
are now in the house of Mr.. John
Davenport, but he has sold his home
to allow the erection of the historic
old Lincoln landmark, which will at
tract widespread attention"

Before a Western judge a lawyer
was pleading case and was making
a regular red fire and slow curtain
speech, which stirred the jury to its
profoundest depths. In the course
of his peroration he said.
"And, gentlemen of the jury, as
stand at this bar, to day in behalf OF
a prisoner whose health is such that
at any moment he may be called be.
fore a greater Judge than the judge
of this court, /"
The judge on the bench raped
sharply on the desk, and the lawyer
stopped suddenly and looked at him
questionably.
THE gentleman" said the court
with dignity, will please confne
himself to the case before the jury
and not permit himself to indulge in
invidious comparisons.
1t almost took the attorney
breath away, but he managed to pull
himself together and finish in pretty
fair shape-Green Bag.

A VERY CLOSE CALL.
A Young Man Discovered an Open
Switch in the Nick of Time.
ST. Marn,s Oracle


Governor MacCorkle passed
through this place Monday after
noon in his private car, which was
attached to passenger train No. 3.
We presume the governor is not
aware how narrowly he escaped be-
ing 10 a serious wreck. Oscar Coon,
young man Of this place. was walk
ing along the track above town a
few minutes before the train was
due at this place. He discovered
that the upper end Of the coal switch
was open. He closed it, and report
ed the fact to Agent Dotson, who i'm
mediately went and locked it. Had
the switch not been discovered, in a
few minutes more the passenger
train would have plunged into it,
and the entire train would have been
completely wrecked, and many lives
probably lost.
At the speed which No. 3 runs in
approaching town the engine could
not have been stopped in time to
prevent serious and perhaps a ia
tai disaster. Its discovery in time
enabled the train to pass on safely
without those on board dreaming OF
their narrow escape. 1t is supposed
the switch had been left open by To-
cal freight men, who had been do
ing some switching at this place
some time previous.

Who Was No Lady.


Who Was No Lady.
An amusing incident was witness
ed on an Allegheny car at IL a. m.
Thursday. A gentleman boarded
the car says the Chronicle Telegraph
and took his seat beside woman

the gentleman's mouth was fresh
unlighted cigar and he was enjoying
"dry smoke when the woman
looked up, and seeing the cigar, call
ed to the conductor and said "Make
that man throw away that cigar"
The conductor looked and seeing
the cigar was not lighted paid no at
tention to the woman. She glared
at him a minute and then made a
grab and secured the cigar, which
she threw from the window.
The gentleman looked at her a
moment in silence and disgust and
then reached down, picked up the
dog and dropped it from the car win
dow. There was a scream from the
woman, wild rush to the platform,
the car was stopped and the woman
went back for her dog The car went
on and the gentleman with mods and
smiles of approval from the other
passengers drew another cigar from
his pocket and went on with his dry
smoke
