DEBATE AT RILEY.
F. L Irish and Rev. DTr. FIeharty Dis
cuss the Financial Issue.

Riley, Sept. 80.
To the Editor of the State Journal:
The free silver men of this village and
vicinity are jubilant. A joint debate
was had between F. L. Irish, a Re
publican attorney from Manhattan, and
Rev. Mr.. Fleharty of Eskridge on the
following question: THAT the main
tenance Of the existing gold standard
is preferable to the free and unlimited
coinage of silver at the ratio of Is to l.,
Mr. Irish affirming the proposition in
speech of one hour. Mr.. Fleharty an
swering in a speech of one hour and
thirty minutes, and Mr.. Irish replying
in thirty minutes.
Mr.. Irish in his opening speech al
most failed to. reach the question in
dispute, devOting his time to an en-
deaVOr to explain and prove that silver
was demonetized long before 1879 and
that the import of that act was known
to all the members of congress at that
time, and declared that any one who
denied knowing that the act demOne-
tized silver was simply a prevaricator.
He also denied that the amount of
money in circulation had anything to
do with fixing prices. and asserted that
they were low simply because we had
a surplus of products.
Mr. Fleharty, in his answer to Mr.
Irish's statements. read extracts from
the speeches of James A. Garfield
James G. Blaine and Senators Beck and
they were entirely ignorant of the fact
that the act in question discontinued
the coinage of the standard silver dol
lar; made the assertion that the pro-
duction of wheat. cotton and other pro
ducts had not increased any greater
than the consuming population had, and
challenged his opponent to refUte the
statement. He gave Mr.. Irish a list
of questions to answer in his closing
among which were two asking if the
free and unlimited coinage of silver
would have been a benef1cent measure
in 1877 and again in 1880, stating as his
resOns for desiring the same that Major
Mckinley voted for such a measure in
1877 and that the Republican state plat
form of 1890 declared emphatically for
the same measure, and made a forcible
and telling plea for the adoption by this
country of the free and unlimited coin
age of silver.
Mr.. Irish in his closing evidenced a
desire to evada answering the two ques-
lions above referred to, but being again
requested by Mr.. Fleharty to answer
them did so by saying: mo, they would
have been very disastrous

FOREIGN GOLD IMPORTS. Exchange Conditions Now Favorable. Plan of the Treasury Depart
 ment Officials. Preference Given to Bond Buyers Who Pay in Foreign
 Gold.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-Owing to the favorable condition now existing in the foreign exchange market, the treasury department is hoping that quite large shipments of gold will be made from abroad to the United States in making payment for the bonds is- sued under the call now pending. If this should prove the case, it is under stood the policy of the department is to offer every facility in it's power to those who propose to use imported gold in payment of the several install ments. No official or even a definite statement could be obtained at the treasury department as to what ad- vantage bidders for the new bonds receive who have obtained their gold from abroad.
 The department is exceedingly anx- ious that large proportion Of the gold offered in payment of the bonds shall be obtained in Europe, and for pur- poses of encouraging imports, it is in- tima'ted, the bidder who offers foreign gold or who demonstrates that he has gold on the way at the time the bids are opened will be given preference in the awards, other things being equal over others who offer domestic gold. Under present conditions, a small profit, independent of the bond issue apparently, could now be realized on gold imports.

4 WEATHER CHANGE.
Rain and Snow Reported Throughout
 Arizona.

The past night and day in Phoenix have been filled in by a very damp sort of weather, drizzle for almost the entire period, occasionally broken Iby lively shower. The weather con- ditions at Mesa and Tempe have been similar. The local rainfall has aggre- gated .46 of an inch in the past twenty four hours.
 Along the Southern Pacific almost throughout Arizona rain fell yester- day in considerable quantity, but no washouts have been reported, and there is every probability that the main line trains will not need to de- part from the usual running schedule
 TO the north has been snow, the fall coming as far as Hassayampa canyon sixty miles northwest of Phoenix. Al Ash Fork and Prescott the fall was about three inches, but on the divide south of Prescott the down train yes tertay morning plowed through mol less than eight inches of "the beauti- tul." The temperature was in accord with the snow.
 At Flagstaff and Williams there was an especially heavy fall of snow, and traffic on inc Atlantic & Pacific, it is expected, will be thereby slightly de- layed.
