A SILVER DEMONSTRATION.
An Example of the Crankery of Cheap
Money Solons.

money Solons.
Possibly the senate's substitute for
the house bond bill will, for the mo-
ment, alarm a few European holders of
American securities, but it will have no
discernible influence in the United
States. The substitute represents the
crankery called silverism, with which
the country has been familiar, in one
shape or another, for over a dozen
years. Free coinage of silver at the
sixteen to one ratio is provided for in
one section of the bill, and the coinage
of the silver seigniorage, the restriction
of the issue of bank currency to the
denomination of SO and upward and
the redemption of legal tender notes
in gold or silver coin, at the option of
the government, are called for in the
rest of the bill. 1t is the old lunacy
and folly which has often been voted
down in congress, and which the peo-
pie have repeatedly condemned and
repudiated.
1t is characteristic but altogether
empty and silly demonstration which
the senate has made. The substi-
tute was adopted by the committee on
finance by a vote of eight to five. The
eight are Voorhees,, Harris, Vest, the
two Joneses (of Arkansas and Ncvada) +,
White, Walthall and Wolcott, while the
five are Morrill,, Sherman, Allison, AL
drich and Platt. OF course, in ability,
standing and character there is an over
whelming preponderance on the
minority side in this division, but on n
vote Il Voorhees, or Vest will count
for just as much as Morrill, or Sher-
man. This is the law of representative
government, and in taking this system
we have to accept the bad that is in it
as we'll as the good. In the long run
the worthy features of representative
government always dominate, and its
vicious accomplishments Gts Voor-
heeses, Vests and Wolcotts as legisla-
tors) are reduced to subsection and
rendered harmless.
They are certainly harmless in this
case. In transforming bond measure
which would have helped the govern
ment in this extremity into n silver bill
which would bring swift and over
whelming disaster the free silver
finance committee has done its worst.
The measure which it has reported will
pass the senate, but it's career will end
right there. Such bill will have no
standing in the present house of rep
resentatives, and the silverites know
this. All that the senate's course shows
is that no financial measure of any sort
which is intelligently designed to aid
the government has any chance of en-
actment. But there is no cause for
especial alarm here. The law of 1878
with it's bond sale provision, remains
and the government can use it as often
as is required, and is using it.-St

man Midgley which leaves no room
for doubt that he was angry when he
wrote it. Several roads, it appears,
paid little or no attention to his re-
cent ruling regarding division of rates
on traffic from Chicago and Peoria ter
ritory to Missouri river points and be-
yond, and which was to prevent the
manipulation of freight rates. Upon
discovering that there was considera-
BILE manipulation, Midgley arranged
new divisions on a basis which he
thought would put an end to the trou-
bic. The new divisions were effective
Feb II, but several days ago he says
he found that but little attention was
being paid to his instructions. The
roads, he said, had either misunder-
stood or disregarded his rulings.
The communication follows:
while it is notifying to be obliged to ex-
plain ruling which the commissioner sup
posed he had made so explicit to require no
further calculation, the confusion which has
followed his statement of the proportions to
be collected west of the Mississippi river on
traffic between Chicago and Peoria points on
the hand and Southwestern Missouri
river points on the other seems to justify these
additional observations. Representatives of
railroads west of the Missouri river evidently
infer that the proportions specified as allow
ances of the lines east of the river should be
applied on all Chicago or Peoria traffic, regard
less of origin or destination west or southwest
of Hannibal or st. Louis, and they sought to
enforce such construction. A little reflection
and a more careful reading of the opinion
would have dispelled that Illusion.

THE ADMIRALTY, IN AN
ADDRESS.
ARE EASY TO FORM,
But England Has Held AIoof, Though
Courted by several Groups
of Powers.

LONDON, Feb. 26.-G. J. Goschen,
first lord of the admiralty, speaking
at Lewiston, said that Cancellation,
negotiation and arbitration might be
valuable, but woe to the nation lack
ing the courage or means to back their
opinion by their own resources The
new system Of log rolling and barter
ing for alliances, he said, had dis
placed the old system of a balance
of power between European nations.
England was not clever at this game,
he added, and had held aloof, al
though her alliance was courted by
several groups of powers.
our isolation, therefore," Mr.. Cos
chen continued, sis not one of weak
ness, but of freedom to act independ-
entry. This has caused misunderstand-
1ngs. But it might be hoped that re-
cent complications have shown our
ne1ghbors that the national spirit is
not dead, and that on certain occa-
slons we might be combustible. With
out betraying secrets I might say that
a very distinguished German states
man, not Prince Bismarck, has been
convinced for years that England could
not be moved to war by anything short
of an attack on her central interests in
this country. That was a dangerous
fallacy which has now probably been
dislodged.'
He was able to say, Mr.. Goschen
added, that our relations with the Ger
man emperor were now as cordial as
they could possibly be. He concluded

Emerson w. Peet returned home yes
terday after an extended absence in
New York, Philadelphia and other
Eastern cites.
When seen last night at his resi-
dence by G @ e reporter Mr.. Peet
expressed considerable surprise that
during his absence it was stated that
he was a possible candidate for ad-
mission to the group of Northern Pa
cific receivers. He explains that short
ly after the resignation of the old re-
ceivers, several of his friends in Phil
adelphia. representing the corporation,
urged that he allow his name to be
put forward as a receiver to represent
st. Paul in the management of the
roads affairs. He was, Of course, not
averse to being given the position, with
its honor, responsibility, but says that
the action of Judge Jenkins in appoint
ing Messrs. McHenry and Bigelow
was, as far as he knows, satisfactory
to the stockholders, and that he has
made no effort, nor have his friends,
to secure his appointment. To this
circumstance or to the fact that while
in New York he wired to Senator John
e. Spooner on other business, he
ascribes the story that he was seeking
the appointment.
Mr.. Peet says that the impression in
New York is that the road is being
well conducted and managed, and also
that the interests of the corporation
and of the second mortgage bondhold-
ers are more closely allied than for
some time, and further that, although
there is no immediate prospect of re-
organization, there are being adjusted
minor differences which must be elm
mated before the system can be taken
out of the hands of the receivers He
says emphatically that he has made
no attempt to secure for himself the
position referred to, and that his visit
to Philadelphia was made on account
of private business.

MUNYON'S
COLD And COUGH CURES
GUARANTEED TO CHECK A COLD IN A
FEW HOURS AND PREVENT
GRIP AND PNEUMONIA.


Colds lead to coughs, coughs to Pneu-
monia and Consumption; therefore, it
is all important to check a cold before
1T reaches the lungs. Munyon's Cold
Cure will positively break a cold inside
of twenty-four hours if taken as soon
as the cold manifests itself When the
cold reaches the lungs or bronchial
tubes the Cough Cure should be used
alternately every half hour with the
Cold Cure. The Cold Cure is guaranteed
to prevent pneumonia if used in the be-
ginning of a cold. Pneumonia, or In
fiammation of the lungs, can be con-
trolled by the use of these two cures.
The Cough Cure positively cures
bronchitis, tickling in the throat,
hoarseness, loss of voice, soreness of
the chest, difficulty in breathing, hack
ing cough and all pulmonary diseases
where the lungs are not too far con-
sumed or covered with tubercles.
If you are ailing, step into the near
est drug store and get a Csc vial of one
of Munyon's Remedies. No matter
what your disease, or how many doc
tors have failed to cure, it will give
you relief.

from the operation of the Chicago &
Northern Pacific railroad, which he
was ready to pay over to the proper

SLEEPING CAR PRIVILEGES
Furnished With SecOnd-CIass Tick
cts by MINNEAPOLIS Agents.

CHICAGO, Feb. 26.-The local pas
senger association at Minneapolis has
got itself into hot water. 1t under
took to amend the agreement pre-
scribed for it by the general associa-
ton, and in doing so has struck at
one of the fundamental principles of
the general agreement. The amend
ment in question makes second-class
rates good in sleeping cars. That is
equivalent to a cut in rates as great
as the difference between first and sec
ond-class rates, because if the holder
of second-class ticket can ride in
one of Pullman's finest palace cars by
merely paying the sleeping car rate
In addition to the price of a second
class ticket nobody would buy first
class tickets. The chairman of the
Western Passenger association has
taken the matter up and declared
that the amendment is null and void
and none of the roads must pay any
attention to it, The incident made it
necessary for meeting of the secre-
taries of all the local associations
throughout Western territories. 1t
was held here this afternoon. The
rules and regulations were carefully
gone over with the chairmen of the
general associations. and the secre-
taries were instructed as to how the
local agreements should be enforced.
