WORK FoR THE ASSEMBLY.
Business Expected to Come Up ut
Tonight,s Meeting.

Tonight,s Meeting.
to occupy the attention Of the assembly
at It's regular meeting tonight. The
question Of the disposition Of the mar
ket house property will not come UP
in regular way, as the committee on
public buildings and markets has laid
1t over for two weeks, but it is apt to be
discussed nevertheless, as it is believed
that Assemblyman Parker's resolution
will be reconsidered. This resolution,
which was lost at the last meeting by a
tie vote of four to four, instructed the
city clerk to advertise for bids for site
for public library building, to be eX-
changed for the market house property
on the basis of valuation to be deter
mined by a competent committee ap-
pointed by the judges of the district
court. 1t is not likely, however, that the
other propositions for the market house
property will be considered tonight. But
it is possible that a petition, signed by
$50 or more business men, will be pre-
sented, protesting against the accept
ance Of any proposition tending to pro-
mote the proposed enterprise of the leaS-
ing of the market house for period Of
many years for the purpose of establish
ing and maintaining therein an extern
Sive department store. The signers of
the protest claim that the retail bust
ness interests of the city would sus-
tain grievous loss and damage there
from, and that the rental and intrinsic
value Of business property throughout
the town would seriously depreciate in
consequence of the establishment of
such an enterprise.
This protest has reference to the prop
osition of Schuneman & Evans for
twenty-five year lease, at the rate of
$4,000 year.
The ordinance from the board of al
dermen, amending the assembly ordi-
nance fixing the salaries of the police
department, will come before the as
sembly, where it will meet with a
prompt quietus. The assembly will in
sist on its own ordinance providing for
the reductions in salaries proposed by
Chief Clark. Thus the deadlock will be
continued until the probable result will
be that the patrolmen, in order to get
their January pay, as well as to save
their superior officers from such radical
reductions, and render it unnecessary
to discharge forty or fifty men from
the force, will volunteer to accept the
proposed reduction Of S. month in
their salaries.

PATRICK HENRY WINSTON used as an
Illustration farmer who had two
streams of water on his farm, and who
without prOvocation should destroy one.
That would be very foolish of course
But suppose he had two streams, one of
which gave a steady flow all the year
and the other through natural causes
had dwindled away until its value in
volume had decreased one-hali Would
he go to Congress and ask to have law
passed saying that there was as much
value of volume in that dwindled stream
as in the other, and so make his cattle
get as much refreshment out of it as if it
were really the case ?-P.-I.
In the first place farmer would be
fool who would, without provoca-
tion," destroy stream when he need
ell it for irrigating purposes or for wa
tering his stock; and that, to carry
out the simile, was just what Congress
did when it cut off one of the streams
of current money. The one steady
stream which flows all the year around,
the law has decreed shall be gold; and
the other which has, by a withdrawal
of the same potent influence, edwin
died away" until the larger part of its
vitalizing influence is lost, is silver.
The country should go to Congress"
as the P.-I suggests, not to ask that
the dwindled stream be merely de-

"Our Enemies Being Judges"

If seeing is believing, then seeing
and hearing should be doubly conclu-
sive. A gentleman who has been
making a tour of the southeastern
part of this county declares that the
farmers have formed themselves into a
solid phslanx ON the side Of Bryan and
honest silver. This, OF course, does
not simply mean that they are all
Democrats, but that they have en-
listed under the banner of the Demo-
cratic standard bearer to fight to q
finish the great financial contest now
engrossing the minds of sixty millions
OF people. Every little neighborhood
in the fartherest backwoods districts
have established private mail dis
tributing systems by which every
family gets the latest papers Of WASH
ington as well as California and At
lantic coast political literature. One
thing is certain and that is, the peo-
pie in the country are as well posted
on the issues OF the hour as those who
enjoy the daily mail facilities of towns
and cities, and they are not going to
give up their own reading to be hood
winked by the political shysters sent

WHAT DEMONSTRATION OF SILVER
WILL Do.-About the most difficult
thing for people to understand in the
change from gold back to a silver
standard is that when this is done all
values will be estimated from q silver
standpoint. If 3714 grains of silver are
reinstated as the unit dollar, under
free coinage. the same as is accorded
to gold, silver bullion will, Of course,
return to $l.29 per ounce of pure sill
yer. All products OF labor will resume
the valuations borne before the unit of
measurement was vested in gold, in
Guiding wage earnings. If the farmer
receives 81 per bushel for his wheat
it follows as natural sequence that
he will be enabled to pay twice as
much for labor, and the laborer will
thus be able to pay the enhanced cost
of living. So in all other pursuits OF
industry. Such fixed charges as
taxes, interest, and debts will not,
however, appreciate in volume, and
the Taxpayer and debt-payer will,
with strict economy, be enabled TO
meet his obligations, which is now a
hopeless task.

THE FEELING IN THE EAsT.-Chas.
H. Stewart, OF this city, has received a
letter from bis aged mother, who lives
at Astabula. Ohio, and has lately been
on q visit to Cleveland, in that State.
She apparently takes a lively in
terest in politics for she writes: You
are not more excited over the political
situation in the west than we are here.
Farmers leave their work to discuss
the all-absorbing political issues. and
the women leave theirs to take part
in the throng. 1t is stirring up
up time everywhere; multitudes are
leaving the Republican ranks in Cleve-
land and are forming Bryan clubs
every evening new one. Bryan
speaks in Cleveland next Saturday. l
wish l could be there to hear him. l
am not willing to have American cit
liens transformed into lords and serfs,
and my grandchildren working in
shops and factories destitute of educa-
ton, to furnish the goldbugs with lux
uries. l hope and believe the Amer.
leans are smart enough to handle
their funds in their own country, with
out the aid of foreigners. Why did
our Pilgrim Fathers leave home and
comfort but to escape English tyr
amy, if they are now to submit to
English domination" 1t is to such
women as Mrs. Stewart that the peo-
pie owe debt OF gratitude for nation

Eastern Opinion.

w. r. Rust, manager OF the Ia
coma Smelling and Refining Works,
returned from New York few days
ago, and had this to say to a reporter
of the Union:
The wage carriers in that city are
afraid to declare their views on the
money question. Even the walters in
the hotels are fearful that they would be
discharged if they were to let it be
known to their employers that they are
favorable to silver.
Mr.. Rust was asked what effect this
implied intimidation would have upon
the people of Gotham. He replied that
it was resented so far as he could find
out, and in his opinion it will result in
making many votes for Bryan and BIZ
metallism.
Business in New York city brought
Mr.. Rust into contact with bankers and
railroad men principally, and he found
that they are afraid Bryan will be
elected. AS result of his election they
predict anarchy and confusion.
Among the men whom Mr.. Rust met
in business way in New York he said
a silver man was a novelty. Neverthe-
less he firmly believes New York city
will give Bryan a large majority and if
the farmers throughout the State vote
as it is expected they will, he will carry
the Empire State. Mr.. Rust also be-
lieves Bryan will carry Minnesota and
other Middle West States"
The same reporter had converse
ton with Dennis Ryan, owner of the
Hotel Ryan, at St. Paul, who likewise
stated his firm belief that New York
would 60 for Bryan. He had been on
a visit to that State lately and had an
opportunity to learn the views of the
farmers. He reports that they de-
mand silver as a means of increasing
the demand for their products and
thereby increasing prices.

Bryan's Country Bred" Wife.

People from the fresh green country
are likely to overestimate their powers
when they start out to astonish the
world. 1t is thus not surprising that the
bumptious boy orator. has become
practically speechless after dispensing
Popuistic ideas of finance from car
platform for two days at the top of his
very lusty lungs, and that his unsophis-
ticated, cOuntry-bred wife "shows evil
dent signs of exhaustion" as she ESSAYS
to take the pushing, curious, perspiring
throng by the hand individually and
smile upon it collectively in fresh, win
some, girlish acknowledgement.
The attempted, slur in the above
paragraph is on par with all the
sneering utterances of the goldbug
press in this campaign. 1t demon
strates, says the Roseburg Reriem, that
there has grown up in this country a
purse-proud class of the Hanna
Carnegie Vanderblt stripe, who are
worshiped by the cringing toadies Of
the Harvey Scott caliber. They look
with contempt upon the masses and
their country bred wives. The con-
tempt is returned. In VIM. ]. Bryan,
the masses have leader in whom they
can trust as they trusted Jackson and
Lincoln; and there is not money
enough in the Golfers of the predatory
rich to secure his defeat, and inaug-
urate Mark Hanna as acting President
OF the United States. The million
aires think it is crime to be "coun-
try-bred." Take away from American
history its country bred heroes, and it
would be stale and improbable read
