NOT FAIR TO STATESMEN
Ex-S Senator Henderson Attacks a
Practice Common in These Days.
pressed Prior to 1884 Should Not
BE Assaulted Now.

Ex-senator j. B. Henderson, of Missouri,
III letter concerning the probable effect
of the nomination and election OF Mr.. Nc
Kinley 10 the Presidency, on current ques-
tons, expresses the opinion that it is not
fair, in the light OF present experience. to
hold any statesman responsible for views
expressed by him on questions of coinage
and currency between 1873 and 1884
The panic of 1873, Mr.. Henderson
thinks, was the direct and natural result
of the greenback era, which had driven
both gold and silver from the country
This panic lasted, he writes, until tile gov
ernuient's decree of specie payments had
made the greenbacks the equal of gold;
and between the inception of the panic of
1873 and the resumption OF specie pay
ments il 1879, politicians were naturally
busy :n search of excuses TO appease their
dissatisfied constituents.
Asserting that the rapid decline In
the price of silver did not begin until
betwecI. 1877 and 1884, he says: 1T
was Curing this latter period that Mr. Nc
kinley and many Others of even greater
reputation than he We're swept away by
the storm of abuse visited upon those h eld
responsible for the coinage act of 1873.
The people were told that the source
of all their sufferings had at last been
discovered. The gigantic fraud of 1873
was proclaimed, and many politicians
hasteped to disclaim all participation in
or knowledge OF the most meritorious act
of Their political lives.''
Asserting that many good and able meg
honestly believed that silver had been bad
ly treated by the nations of the world, and
that If again restored to full recognition
and use as legal tender money its former
commercial value would return, Mr.. Hender-
son places the views of Mr. Mckinley in
thai respect as similar to those then ex-
pressed by Mr.. Blaine, Mr.. Carlisle and
others scarcely less prominent in public
life. Concerning the charge that the Nc
Kinley tariff bill and the Sherman act for
the purchase of silver bullion in the Fifty
first Congress were twin measures Mr..
Henderson presumes that Mr.. McKinley's
chief interest in the combination was on
the side of the tariff bill, 'and," he says,
mo more in favor of silver than was neces-
sary to hold the combination intact"
The ST. Louis convention, must, he as
serts. give currency platform such as the
tenor o: his letter Throughout against free
silver indicates; it must nominate states.

Mr.. Quigg, from the House Committee on
the Library n as favorably repor ted the bill
creating an art commission of the United
States. The report is as follows:
The purpose of this bill is to consti-
tute such an expert commission to deal
with the art collections at the Capitol and
in the Library building as will insure the
artistic value of all additions to the pres
ent collection. 1t is made the duty of

collections in the Capitol and in the
Library building and to examine all works
of art that are submitted to Congress to
be added to the collection, and to report

act with much more confidence and with
much better results II it can have the
advantage of the opinion OF such a com
mission as this bill creates''

The cadet battalion prize drill was the
feature Of the day at the parade ground.
There were other good features. but the
most important and the one IN which the
crowd was most interested, was the con-
test between the Citadel Cadets Of Charles
ton and the Gordon Institute Cadets of
GAINESVILLE. II was the first battalion
prize drill which many of the spectators
had ever seen. Both battaliOns put up ex-
cellent drills. The GAINESVILLE Cadets ap-
peared 10 be the favorites with the crowd,
but IN the opinion of the military men the
advantage Of the drill was with the Citadel
boys. The decision Of the judges will not

prize viii be awarded at the same time as

The programme began with an exciting
balloon ascension by Mamselle Zitta. IL
was one Of the best and most exciting as
tensions ever made in Savannah. The bal
loon assembled rapidly to a great hight and
was carried by the wind in a Northwestern
ly direction. The parachute drop was
made when the balloon appeared to be just
about over Hall street. The parachute did
not open Immediately and the little aero
naut had a perpendicular drop of about 200
feet which made the spectators hold their
breath In fear that she would be dashed
to pieces against the earth. It opened in
time to allow Of an easy descent, however,

injury sustained was a few slight scratches

The judges were seen after the drill, and
stated that they would not announce the
result OF the contest until Friday. when
all the prizes will he awarded at the same
time. Nevertheless, there is little doubt
in the minds of the military who wit
messed the contest that the Citadel Ca
diets are winners
The exercises closed with a regimental
dress parade, participated in by three
battalions, being the largest dress parade
of the week so far. The first battalion
was composed of the Morton Cadets, the
Oglethorpe Infantry of Augusta, and the
Aurora ZOuaves, the second battalion be-
ing the Citadel Cadets and the the third
the Gordon Institute Cadets. The Nor
ton Cadets were complimented by being
called upon TO furnish the major and staff
officers the first battalion. Capt. Shilling
