AN EXCELLENT IDEA.

The time set by Mr.. Reed and his
~lieutenants for Congress t. adjourn,
namely, Nav 18Th, has expired, and
Congress is still in s--sinh. 1t takes
two to make a bargain when the qne--
ton OF a%djourninG the long SESSION of
Congress is involved.
Both houses must agree, a1 the Con-
stitution provides that neither house
shall adjourn for more than three
DAYS without the consent OF the other
The Senate did not adj urn on May
18Th, hence the action Of the House is
not decisive.
It has been suggested that Ougr+ss
remain il session until after the Ma
tional Conventions, and emhody the
principal points Of the platforms 10 a
bill to be passed by the Silver men in
the Senate and sent to the House. If
both houses failed t. agree on the
measure then the question would be
submitted to the people. For instance
the Silver men are Opp sed to issuing
bonds for gold when there is consid-
cradle owe $3.50, OOO. 900 available cash
In the Treasury. The gold men, | d
by Sherman and Frye on the Repuh-
liran side. and Hill and Villas on the
Democratic side, favor the is-uarce of
bonds. though it seems pr"hahlA that
the Republican Convention will de-
Glaze against it. Notwithstanding one
OF the very first act Of the present
House was to pass a bond bill.
Much MIGHT be gained for the cause
Of the people by Congress remaining
in session until after the conventions,
but as nearly all the members have
fences to repair Al home, il would be
difficult TO keep them It w shingtnn

Prots. Pfeipper and Kallo with '~ty-
phps-antitoxin II the hopes OF the
Professors are rca lied medical science
will receive a mos valuable accession
through their discoveries. The eXpe-
rimenters believe that typhus germs,
like cholera germs, may be traced
back 10 the existence in the blood of
.anti-typhoid substances. The typhoid
bacillus is knGvn to exist largely in
we'll and spring water, and the fact
that they are frequently tie direct
causes of infection is recognized by
bacterioiogists. COnseq uentiy the
experiments. the report sets forth,

germs and BY locating them, preserv-
ing numberl4ss lives. Il is shown that
between the ages OF 20 and p persons

the typhus germs. II IS claimed that
the ''typhua antitoxin' can easily and
quickly be inoculated, proving of

Sunday and Monday were busy

left Kansas City in large quantities
and the scavenger and street boats
had to be got in shape for retreat to
winter quarters.
BY Monday evening half ofthe boats
OF the department will be safely har-
bored and if the weather map indicates
continuance OF the present snap all
but two scaYerger boats and tTo street
boats viii be retired Tuesday.
The remaining boats will be placed
at the foot of Locust street and the
foot of Chouteau avenue.
Nearly all the packets are also go

Capt. Whitledge, Acting Commits
siouer, expects if all the predictions OF
severe winter are realized, that the
river will be frozen from four to six
weeks. The river has been rather high
and the water. therefore, chills slowly,
but if the present cold continues another
week, the stream will close.-POst-

cumbersome photographic stone, zine
is the only metal which has given any

be absolutely pure, and even then
many colors can not be printed from

proven to be as good rs stone. The

WEARY OF HUSKS.
One of Bryan's Reluctant supporters
states Its Reluctant Platform.


Mr.. Bryan and others are telling US
how to save the Democratic party and
down the Republicans in 1890. One
mans opinion is as good as another's
in this regard, and We are entitled to
express ours, which is to this effect:
The Democrats of this country will
ha ye to learn as truths those things
before they can ever again hope to
control the Government of this repub-
lie:
That bimetallism, or the concur
rent use of gold and silver coin at
a party, is myth.
That there are never two monetary
standards in use at the same time.
That there is no possibility of keep
! ing two metals at the same valuation.
That no Government can keep any
one metal at valuation, much less
two metals at the same valuation. All
the nations on earth can not do it.
That the stamp of the Government
creates no value, but merely certifies
to certain conditions.
That there is money of final pay
ment, called primary money. 1t is
one thing only. All other mediums OF
exchange are token money-not real
money, but conveniences.
That that money is primary money
which is held in highest value by GUS
tom Of the merchants. All other me-
diums of exchange are measured by
it. Laws can not change this, al
though laws can force the acceptance
Of deprecated and less valued me-
dium. and thus rob the recipient of his.
due.
That gold is the worlds improved
machinery of exchange. 1t has come
to stay.
That legal-tender laws are obsolete.
That greenbacks are promises to
pay, and the sooner the promises are
redeemed the better for the country.
That it is the duty of the Govern
ment of the United States to retire
from the banking business.
That there is no natural antagonism
between labor and capital.
That socialism is negation of prog
ress, and that progress is the keynote
OF The republic.
That the Federal Government has
the right to execute its own court pro-
cesses.
| That the credit of the United States
must be sustained {Ala.l

Mexico (Mo.) Official Charged will
Pernfcious Activity During the

Pernfcious Activity During the
Campaign.
WASHINGTON, D. c., November 30.
The President to-day made the fol-
lowing removals and appointments of
poStmasters:
Mexico, Luke W. Nor
ris. vice John W. Mason, removed:
La Plata. J. W. Overstreet. vice Will
liam Z. Cole, dead.
Ill1nois-Evanston, Charles Ray
mond. vice David 2. O'Leary. remov-
ed.
During the late campaign in Mis-
souri, the town of Mexico was disgrac-
ed by series of incidents. Bryan
Democrats adopted a systematiccourse
of prescription and boycotting toward
the sound money Democrats. One of
the most active promoters of this
course was hePostmaster of the place,
Jchn W. Mason, or "Wick" Mason
rs he is better known. To-day retri-
button came in the form of the sum-
mary removal of Mr.. Mason.
In the charges filed against Mason
numerous instances are given of his
partisanship in the campaign. On one
occasion, it is stated, when the sound
money Democrats had engaged the
Court House and were holding a meet
ing, the free silver Democrats got out
! the drum corps and kept it marching
around the public square to make as
much trouble as possiblefo the speak
er of the meeting inside. Postmaster
tIason was particularly conspicuous.
He stood on the corner and urged on
the drummers to more vigorous effort
to disturb the sound money orator.
That's right. boys, make all f the
noise yOu can. " the Postmaster is said
to nave shouted.
Mexico was q hotbed for Organism.
The threat was made that if Trimble,
the sound money candidate for Gov
error, came there he would be rotten
egged. Mr.. Trimble promptly an
nounced that he would open his cam
paign there, and did so. He was not
molested. Sound money meetings
were interrupted and sound money
merchants were boycotted. Besides
IIr. Mason's political offending, the
department had for the removal other
reasons, which will be given il Sena-
tors Cockrell and Vest insist upon an
investigation of the case.
In the course of a couple of days
another presidential Postmaster in
Illinois. who was 2erniciously active
for Bryan, will be removed.
The old Postmaster atEvanstou was
charged with going out of his iuris-
diction TO sell stamps and postal sup
plies so as to increase the receipts of
his Office and raise his salary and al
Iowances. This is regarded as a
serious violation of the rules and
works to the detriment OF adjacent Of
fees.
In the neighborhood OF hundred
post offices are involved in charges OF
pernicious activity in politics now fled
with Postmaster General Wilson.
They include a number of big offices
against whose heads serious accusa-
tions are made. The policy of the
Postmaster General has been TO act as
leniently as possible and make re-
movals only where necessary, and ac-
cordingly all the charges, save half
dozen, have so far been ignored,
though action on Il number of the
others will shortly follow.
