Chamneey r. Black ADVISES Democrats
TO Stick TO the Party.

The Hon. Chauncey f. Black, Of Penn
sylvana, in an interview published in the
Washington Star of Monday evening, ad-
vises Democrats to stick to their party and
gives some good advice in that connection.
Whilst he is for a gold standard himself he
says he fully understands that man may
be for free coinage and still be as good a
Democrat as he is. In this connection he
says:
at seems to me that the matter might be
settled in very fair and honorable manner
to both sides by an agreement respecting the
exercise Of the veto power by the President.
Let il be agreed that our candidate for Pres
ident is not, if elected to interpose bis veto
to embarras or defeat any financial legisla-
ton which may be sent to him by the votes
of majority of the Democratic members in
Congress. There ought to be no objection
to that 1t provides for leaving the ques-
ton where it properly belongs with the
representatives of the people, chosen to leg
islate in their own wisdom for the peoples
best interests. believe in popular govern
ment. | am opposed to the free coinage of
silver. | hold that the adoption Of such
policy would be injurious to credit and bus
mess. But if majority Of my party DEGREES
free coinage, | am willing to accept it.
There is more in Democracy for me than
the money question.
"The great question Of taxation is yet to
be settled properly in this country, and |
am utterly opposed to parting company with
men so sound on that as are Morgan, Vest,
Crisp, Mcmillan and many others, simply
because Of a difference of opinion as to mon
ey. They are men of the highest character
and very eminent ability, and lconcede them
the same right to their opinions aud the
same sincerity in forming them that / claim
for myself. / think they are mistaken
about silver, but Pm sure they are sincere" ="
"Aud they are to abide, as the sound
money men are, by the decree Of the major
ity ?"
"Of course. Aud | assume that they will.
The majority must rule That is the DEM
ocracv i'm its best estate. Everybody recog.
nizes that, and now is the time for every
BODY to redeclare himself The veto power
has regard to constitutional questions, and
the money question as presented to us is not
such a one. Il is entirely within the prov

Judgment for the State Of Neic York Gir-
en- blythe Court Of Claims.

WASHINGTON, April 6.-The Court Of
Claims to-day rendered judgment for sl44,-
ia "a in favor of the State of New York for
advances made to the United States during
the war. The case was decided on June s,
1891, the court allowing S9l ,S20.s4 on
claim for S13l, ,1sS o. The United States,
as well as the State of New York, appealed
to the Supreme Court on January 6, 1896.
The Supreme Court held that the State was
entitled to the amount allowed by the Court
of Claims and to the additional sum of $780,
557.lS, which had been disallowed by that
court. While the Supreme Court agreed
with the lower court as to the $9l, ,320 81, it
reversed the judgment, and by this reversal
the State was deprived of interest on the
original judgment, amounting to Sl2, ,926.97.
Senator Hill, the counsel for the State of
New York, made motion in the Supreme
Court that the judgment reversing the de-
cision of the Court of Claims be amended
so As to affirm, instead of reversing il, in
order that the State might not be deprived
Of interest. On this motion, the Supreme
Court made the following order: "On con-
sideration of the motion to reform the judg-
meni in these cases, it is now here ordered
that said motion be, and the same is hereby
denied, without prejudice to an application
in the Court of Claims in respect to the
matter in question" When the case went
back to the Court of Claims the State was
represented by Richard r. Mcmahon, as no
Senator or Representative can practice
there. Mr.. McMahon's argument was that
the effect of the order of the Supreme Court
upon the motion to reform the judgment
was lwofold-it gave to the State a right TO
apply for interest on the original judgment
and it RENTED to the Court of Claims the
legal question involved in the application.
rhe Court of Claims took the same view of
the subject, and decided that the State was
enlisted to the interest, which, together with
the original judgment and the amount ad-
ded thereto by the Supreme Court, made
$l4i, 1891.

4 Joke on senator blackburn.

New York Herald Stevenson told a story
about his friend, Joe Blackburn, that is said
to have nelted the Senator because it came
too near to the fact for mutual enjoyment
In early manhood, it is said, the Senator
was not cOnspicuously retiring or reticent
to such degree that it required more than
one yoke of oxen to draw from him an opin-
ion upon any public question at any time
whatsoever. Mr.. Stevenson said that once
when celebrated desperate was to be pub
licly executed in Kentucky, Joe Blackburn,
then rising politician, chanced to be among
the spectators. Before the sheriff adjusted
the moose to the neck of the condemned man
he rendered him the customary privilege of
making any dying observations he might
derire to for the benefit of his hearers.
81 don't think I've got any remarks that"
- the man began to say, when he was cut
short by a loud cheerful voice, shouting;
SAY, Bill, if you hain't got anything
special to talk about, wish you would give
me about fifteen minutes of your time just
to let me say to these good people that am
a candidate for their sufl'rsges and to l-how
some reasons why"
"Hold on, said the desperado. sheriff,
who is that man ?"
"That's Blackburn"
What Blackburn? Joe Blackburn
Yes"
Il thought 50. Give him my lime. Give
him all fit But go ahead and hang me
first and make Blackburn talk aherward." :"

Results of recent elections in Ohio, Mich

sey are encouraging to the Democrats. In
New Jersey last week there was evidence of
an inevitable reaction favorable to the Dem
ocratic party. Jersey City, that has been
electing Republican mayors and councilmen,
Topped over to the Democrats, giving 1900
majority and making clean sweep. New.

clean sweep and in Bayonne City they had
substantial gains.
In response to a resolution Enquiry the
Secretary of the Treasury on Monday sent
to the Senate a statement showing the name
and residence of each person who presented
a bid for bonds in the recent sale, the distri-
button of the bids by States, the bids which
were accepted and the amount of bids at
each price offered The secretary says the
bid of Messrs. j. p. Morgan and Co., at 10
.6S77, was accepted in part, the amount al
lotted that firm being the remainder of the
loan after accepting in full all bids at a
higher price. The aggregate amount of
payments made to and including April 10,
with the proper amounts of premium and
accrued interest, was Sl07,777 ,S26.

Mr. Chauncey Depew declares that free
wool has killed the sheep industry and that
the bicycle and the trolley car have ruined
the horse business; that they told him in
Utah that they are selling horses for fifteen
dollars per dozen. The assertion Of Mr..
Depew as to the effect Of free wool has been
made by large number Of other people, but
for all that we do not think there is any
truth in il. As long as it will pay 10 raise
cattle in this country it will pay 10 raise

usually pays little more per pound for

that the price Of both il the same II GER
