The Mkt Senate

one Of the arguments employed In
support Of the silver movement is that
even though Mckinley should he elect
81. the senate would 70: tOGr years re-
main in control Of the silver forces, thus
effectuaily checkmating any attempt at
tariff revision except when coupled with
a free coinage rider. This argument Is
used on Republicans who are friendly
to silver but also devoted to Protection.
The Cleveland World explodes it by
pointing out that there are four states
where 1t seems that Republican sena-
tors will next year succeed Democratic
members. This does not include Ohio and
Maryland. where Republican senators
have already been chosen to replace De-
mocrats. The four states are New
York, Wisconsin. Indiana and Illinois.
and in each of them a Republican gain
is almost as good as assured. The
World adds: Counting these as among
the certainties, we still have Kansas,
South Dakota and Missouri, where Re-
publicans will not unlikely be elected to
succeed PETER, Kyle and Vest all Dem
ocrats. Thus by counting the four
states first mentioned 90 certain to be
represented by Republican sena tors in
the Fifty-tifth congress, anG permitting
the vacancies in Kentucky and Della
ware to balance each other, the senate
which President Mckinley would have
to deal with would stand: Republicans,
AZ; combined opposition, 49,
But this is not all the story. BY the
time Mckinley shall be nicely settled in
the White house. Pennsylvania viii
have chosen q sound nc oney Republic
can to succeed J. Donald Cameron, who
Is now numbered among the free sill
ver obstructlonists of the upper cham
Der. Consequently there remains moth
ing whatever OF The claim that the sill
verites will be enabled, in spite OF pub
lie opinion to hold up Protective legis-
lation in the next congress. THE al.
ready patent fact is that IL the sound
money forces pull together and fight
with precision, the silver III monometall'sts
will be defeated with great slaughter
all along the line.

Of this coinage scheme would be to make
dollars containing little over three
quarters o. an ounce Of pure silver, each.
equal In debt-paying power to gold dol
lars. An ounce of pure silver containing
ls0 grains can now be bought for about 81
cents. Since the silver dollar would cost
only about three-Quarters of that amount
or, say, % to SO cents. While II would pay
debts as well as the gold dollar We have
now. nobody would take II on the same
footing in payment for fresh purchases Of
goods or for labor. Nor could we use II

chasing goods to import. Co : which

An EXPLANATION.
From the New York Sun.

I TUT tiIc WV IVIIs ouIf
Several correspondents have asked us
to explain what the free coinage of silver
means; and, generally, what effect Iegis-
lation establishing It would have up,ii
the business of the country. we answer
that It means that every owner or pur-
chaser of silver bullion shah be permitted
TO bring 1t to the mint, in unlimited
quantities. and have II coined free of
charge into dollars, each containing s7Ii,
grains of pure silver and 41A grains of
copper. or 412 grains altogether, which
dollars shall be legal tender equally with
gold coin. AS the gold dollar contains
23.22 grains Of pure gold, and. with 25s
grains of copper alloy added, 25S grains
the silver dollar weighs 16 times as much
as gold dollar. and the ratio between
them is, therefore. said to be 16 to /.

WHEN THE BONDS FALL DUE.

'Tis n gorgeous prospect, truly, this free
silver that's in store,
When everybody's going to have bright.
shining coin galore,
And dollars lie as thick as stones along

by loads;
'Tis glimpse Of Ell Dorado from a West
ern point Of view,
But how about the prospect
When

It's most inspiring sentiment to tell the
workingman
That his pockets going to Jingle under
Bryan's silver plan,
And for the toiling farmer tits consola-

That he'll get flood Of silver for his
pumpkins and his wheat
And there is no need to tell him, from a
silver point of view
That twill be another story
When
The
Bonds
Fail
Due!
OF course the man who buys our bonds
and pays for them in gold
Will feel great satisfaction and delight
when he is told
That instead of standard money he must
take his pay in trash
Which shrinks one-half In value when re-
duced to hard. gold cash.

Uncle Sam to do.

WORK OF THE NATIONAL sOLoys.

In the Senate GaIIinger Presented "a Reso-
luton for the Revision of the Existing
Tariff Law-Populist Member Creates a
Mild Sensation in the House--Orders
from the Agricultural Department Con-
corning the Treatment of Animals.
WASHINGTON, May 16-In the senate
Friday Morgan presented resolution
concerning the Americans now under
condemnation at Havana and said he
would address the senate on it Saturday.
The resolution directs the committee on
foreign relations to inquire into the report
on the rights Of the United
States under our treaties with Spain
as to the trial of our citizens
arrested in Cuba, and now under sentence
of death by the Spanish military tribunals
for alleged offenses of political or other
character and TO report on that subject
by bill or otherwise; second, requesting
the secretary of state for literal copies OF
the protocol signed by Caleb Cushing and
the Spanish minister; third, requesting
the secretary Of state to transmit copies OF
the recent correspondence relative to the
condemnation Of the Americans at Ha-
vana.
Gallineer's Resolution.
Gallinger followed with another inter
esting resolution as follows:
Resolved, That the widespread bust
ness depression and rapid increase Of the
public debt demonstrates that the existing
tariff law does not produce sufficient rev
enuo and that revision of the law is inn
peratively demanded in the interest OF the
people Of the United States"
Gallinger announced that he would adj
dress the senate on this resolution or
some similar measure before congress adj
journed. The resolution heretofore intro
duced by Mills directing the finance
committee to investigate the eff
feet on American products OF

agreed TO, with an amendment by Allen
that the inquiry cover the relative labor
cost in this country and the orient. Cul

speech supporting his resolution prohibit
ing the further issue of bonds without
specific authority from congress.
Mild Sensation In the House.
At the opening of the session of the
house Friday Howard, Populist, of Ala.
bama, caused mild sensation by arising
to a question of personal privilege to de.
nounce some published reports made
about three months ago, to the effect that
he had been drunk on the floor Of the
house. He denied the story as a base
falsehood from beginning to end. He ex
planned that at the time of the alleged &C.
currence he was desperately i'll and had
been i'll ever since, and only Wednesday
had been able to return to the house to
denounce his traduccrs.

A member OF the Hancock school board
makes the following suggestion to young
ladies residing here who have prepared
themselves to teach, but for whom there
are no vacancies in the home schools
At Ishpeming forty-five teachers are en-
ployed, and but thirty are from that
town. Now as Ishpeming does not pro-
duce all the teachers needed there among
it's young ladies, there is chance Tor
young women similarly prepared to get
position. Here in this county each
board follows the practice Of filling their
positions with their own graduates after
they shall , properly prepared them
selvep, and in all there is an overproduc-
ton OF such teachers. 1t Is better to
teach in city schools, like Ishpeming's,
than to apply for schools in the smaller
towns Of the Upper Peninsula.

Has TASTED Eighty-Four Days.

BATTLE CREEK, Mich, May 16.-Mrs.
Henry Ingram is still fasting. 1t is now
eighty-four days since she has taken a
morsel of food Of any kind and now she
does not want or appear to need anything
to eat. Her heGi ! remains about the
same. The strange condition of Mrs In
gram and the account of the case pub
lished in the newspapers will be the
means of bringing together soon two
brothers who did not know whether the
other was dead or alive. Mrs. Ingram s
husband, Henry Ingram, had brother,
George Ingram, who left Lyons, n. Y, in
1859, going west. Henry came to this city
year later. George located in Detroit
and the brothers have known nothing of
each other all these years.
