Libby Prison to BE DcmoIished.

From the Denver CCol.) Post.
The old Libby prison. with which there
are so many associations of Responding
spirits and pinehed stomachs. was some
years ago taken down from its original
site ON the James river and rebuilt in all
its grimness in Chicago. It never was in
itself pretty building. and its associa-
tions do not help the fancy TO invest IL with
any suggestions OF beauty. But Chicago
wanted it, just as she wants everything
that she thinks will draw. even IL It be
nothing more than attention. The old
prison did not prove the attraction that
was expected. The old soldiers did not go
around as numerously as was anticipated.
70 hunt up the foot by five TO six feet strips
OF noor which once constituted their re-
spective touches. The charm, somehow, did
not work to bring large crowds or much
proht to the prison exposition manage
ment. The ancient bastile was scarcely
noticed during the Worlds Fair. So now
the energetic but disappointed city pro-
poses to let 1t go. The land on which II
stands is advertised for rent and 1t will
probably soon be torn down and be re-
placed BY building more handsome to
look at and of more festive associations.

SENATOR STEWART UNMAskED.
The Record shows That in 1874 He
Screamed as Loud for Gold as He
is Now Screaming for silver.

Louisville Courier-Journal Oem.)
Washington, June 23.-The talk of Sem
ator Stewart should not be taken seriously
by the people out in the county. 1t never
is at Washington by those who know him
and his record so wen. His frequent
change of mind on the money question is
a source of much amusement here to many
of his acquaintance. 1t has not been many
years since Senator Stewart was as wild
and intense for the gold dollar as he is now
frantic for the white metal.
The bill to demonetize silver was under
consideration in congress from 1870 to 1873,
when it was finally passed. The first vote
taken upon It was in the Senate. Jan. 10.
1871. and it was passed by a vote of SO yeas
and Il nays. with twenty-five senators
not voting. The yeas and nays We're as
follows, as shown by the Congressional
Globe part /. third session, Forty-first
congress. page 399:
Yeas-Messrs. Bayard. Foreman, Brown

Patterson. Pomeroy, Pool, Ramsey. Rice,

Nays-Messrs. Abbott, Ames, Anthony,

gin, Edmunds, Ferry, Flanagan, Fowler,
Hamilton of Maryland, Howard, Howe,
Lewis. Mcdonald, Morrill, of Maine, Os-
borne, Revels, Robertson, Ross, Sawyer
Schurz, Sprague, Thayer and Windom-22
Every democrat who was present in the
Senate at the time voted for the passage
Of the bill, and Senator Stewart of Ne
vada, also voted in the affirmative, as will
be seen from the above extract from the
Globe:
on Feb. II, 1874, Senator Stewart in a
speech in the Senate (see vol. H., part 2,
Congressional Record. first session, Forty
third congress, page 1892, said:
Il want the standard gold, and no paper
money, the value of which is not ascer-
tanned; no paper money that will organize
gold board to speculate in it,"
On Feb. 90 1874, the Senate having under
consideration resolution instructing the
committee on finance to report bill pro-
viding for the controvertibility of treasury
notes into gold coin or per cent. bonds,
Senator Stewart said;
by this process we shall come to a
specie basis, and when the laboring man
receives a dollar II will have the purchas-
ing power of dollar. and he win not be
called upon to do what is impossible for
him or the producing classes to do, figure
upon the exchanges, figure upon the huc-
