SATURDAY,
Or at the Farthest, Monday, Con-
gress Will Come to an End.
All the Appropriation Bills Are En-
rolled Except Contested Items.
These Can BE Disposed of on Short Notice
"A Night Session on Tuesday May BE
Necessary-The Senate Will Vote
on the Auti-Bond Bill.

WASHINGTON, June 1.-"I believe we
may be able to adjourn by Saturday"
said Senator Allison, chairman of the
senate committee on appropriations.
"The session may run until Monday,
but there is really no good reason why
we should not have final adjourn
ment on the day have named. All Of
the appropriation bills are enrolled
with the exception of the contested
items in conference, and these can be
enrolled on short notice"
Senator Allison is not alone in this
opinion and for the purpose of getting
away at the earliest possible moment
hope that the senate after Monday will
begin its daily sessions at II a. m. and
remain in session as late as Up. m.
One night session will perhaps be
necessary, on Tuesday, for the senate
has agreed that on that day it will take
a final vote on the anti-bond bill. 1t is
the general impression that a vote will
be had before adjournment on the
filed cheese bill, which has already
passed the house, although vigorous
opposition will be offered to il
in the senate. The understanding is
that the senate will endeavor tc
pass the river and harbor bill over the
presidents veto the day following sim
liar action on that measure by tha
house. But little, if any, debate is an
ticipated. The conference on the post
Office appropriation bill has practically
agreed upon all items except the Cor
man amendment restricting the CONSOLE
dation of post Offices by the postmaster
general. 1t is claimed the house will
accede to this amendment. The first
conference on this bill was not held
until Saturday last. although it passed
both houses more than month ago
The only matters that will be likely to
cause debate in other appropriation
bills in conference are the 'sectariar
school question in the Indian bill, the
decrease of the number of battleships
the limitation of the price to be paid
for armor; and the proviso fol
bidding the employment by contractors
of naval officers on leave, in the naval
bill, a question as to sectarian charities
in the District of Columbia bill, and
like question in regard to District OF
Columbia hospitals in the sundry civil

Tho People who Buy Things.


There is one class of people in the
United States which is specially inter
csted in the agitation for free silver,
with its openly avowed purpose of rails
ing prices twice as high as they arc
now. This is the consuming class, COM
posed of all the people who buy things.
To them the most important question in
regard to the currency is: "Will our
money buy few or many things? We
now have an industrial and commercial
system in which wages are paid and
products bought and sold with eur
rcncy which rests on a gold standard
and has high purchasing power. If
we were to adopt the silver standard,
our money would buy only half the
quantity of goods that it does now.
How would that help us, the 7o,ooo,ooo
American consumers?"
Free-coinage politicians who are try
ing to gain votes by setting one class OF
citizens against another would do well
to remember that the largest class il
this country is that of the people who
buy goods. When they can show those
people that it is to their interest to pay
higher prices for what they consume,
they may have some show of success.
Until then their scheme is doomed t.
failure.
The free and unlimited coinage of sill
YER is the greatest political swindle of
the century, for it gives to the wealthy
the power to double their wealth and
leaves to the poor man nothing but sill
yer dollars really worth only so cents
each.-BucN,us. Journal. !.

CHURCH UNION.
Mr. Gladstone Writes Cardinal Rampolla
on the Subject.


on the Subject.
LONDON, June 1.-Mr. Gladstone's
letter to Cardinal Rampolla, papal sec
retary of state, on the subject of re-
union of the Christian churches, will
be published Monday by the newspa-
pers here. 1t will occupy two columns.
Mr.. Gladstone contends that con-
demnation of Anglican orders by Rome
would morally be a stride toward ex-
communication; would make more con-
spicuous the religious differences of
the churches and enhance the difficulty
of future conciliation. Nevertheless,
he says he does not expect an early
restitution of Christian unity which
marked the church's early history. He
welcomes the pope's command that an
investigation be held as to the validity of
the anglican orders, and details the ad-
vantages that are likely to accrue
