Sydney Mudd's Election as Speaker.

So OF the election in the House, the Bal

MIR Mudd's election as Speaker WAS
marked by an incident that caused much
comment Five Republicans refused Ia
vote for him, casting blank ballots instead
All uf the blanks presumably came from
Baltimore City One MN admitted tha'

who il a Roman Catho ic. II was gener
ally accepted as a fact that religious bigotry

bers To vote blank ballots"
The most significant feature Of Mr..
Mudi's victory was the rout OF the secret
order men, the A. p. A. element, which
made an unaerband, bigoted fight against
the Charles county man because he is u
Roman Catholic. Five of the city mem
hcas. even after Mr. Mudd was nominated,
refused to vote for him in the House, cast
ing blanks instead.
1T is said that each city man is trying
10 clear himself of the charge of casting
blank. Mr.. Mudd has all the ballots, and
has compared the writing on each with
the signatures of the members on the oath
book. He knows whose written ballot is

IL HUNG CHANG.

Ii Hung Changes prospective visit to
England and also to the Western hem
isphere recalls an incident of 1898, when
King George the Third sent an embassy
to Picking to obtain permission for an
English minister to reside at the Gee
IestiaI Court" and to take charge of
England's commercial interests in
China. The request was refused and
an order was issued in which the fol-
lowing language was used: $50, then
thou King, far away over many oceans,
thou hast inclined thine heart toward
civilization, and hast made point OF
dispatching ENJOYS to respectfully bear
a submissive address. Crossing the
seas, they have arrived at court, and
have offered their deyout prayers for
our Imperial welfare, besides submit
ting articles of local production by way
of evincing thy heartfelt sincerity. We
have opened and perused the address,
the language of which is sufficiently
honest and earnest to bear witness, o
King, to the genuineness of thy re-
spectful submission, and is hereby right
King was notified that his commerce
must be conducted on the same lines
as in former years, because the extern
sion of foreign trade was on the one
Celestial Court, and on the other,
would seem to be entirely without adj
vantage to thine own kingdom"
After a lapse of over one hundred
years we now see the chief counsellor
of the Celestial Court turning his at
tention toward the barbarian nations.
While to the Chinese mind the seat of
civilization and civilizing influences is
located within the Celestial Empire, the
Empire has received so many hard
knocks that it has in a measure been
forced to accept the barbarisms of mod
ern times. But Lii Hung Chang, al
though this is the second time he has
ever left his native country, has come
in contact with many Europeans and
Americans, and has been an active ad-
vOcate of commercial Improvements
that have been brought about in recent
years. He is withal a shrewd man with
a broader range of view than many of
his countrymen. What effect his West
ern tour will have upon the future con-
ditions of his civilization will be watch
ed with considerable interest. Unless
some force comes to arouse the Chinese
from their Iethargy it seems certain
that the Empire must be divided among
the Powers.

"a Volunteer" whose communication
appears in this issue, makes some good
suggestions regarding beer drinking by
members of the military while at the
drill shed. We agree that it is not the
duty of a captain and his lieutenants
to follow their men home and see to it
that they arrive safely; yet it would be
possible to enforce regulations making
it a misdemeanor for a member of the
National Guard to enter a saloon in
uniform. 1t is hard indeed to make the
good, sober men of the military suffer
on account of the disgraceful action of
one or two rowdies, but it is the rowdies
who occasionally creep into the ranks
that have to be looked out for.

times, but in thousands and thousands
of cases. We know it cures, absolutely,
permanently cures, when all others fail to
do any good whatever.
Hoods Sarsaparilla is known to possess
merit or the power to cure disease; it is
known to be the best building up medicine
on earth; it is known to be honestly adver-

buy and take Hoods Sarsaparilla almost
to the exclusion of other preparations.

upon that standard that was least vari-
able and had the widest recognition
among the nations of the world, in
order that transactions. both national
and international, may be settled with
the least embarrassment from fiuctu-
atoms in exchange. The $4,000, 900, 900
( of international trade balances were
annually settled in gold. The domestic
commerce of the United States. amount
ing annually to s35, 600, 900. 900, was con-
( tracted for and settled upon the gold
basis; SO per cent. of the commerce Of
the world was upon the gold basis. In
view of this fact, the convention de-
clared that it would be criminal folly
to break away from the most advanced
and civilized nations to join China and
Mexico upon the silver basis Gold
has been the standard of value in the
United States as a matter of fact since
1884, and as a matter of law since 1879,
and in all countries where the gold
standard prevails both gold and silver
circulate as money. In all countries
where the silver standard prevails there
is no gold in circulation as money.
There was in circulation and in the
United States Treasury on July $685.
204, 102 coined silver and Treasury notes |
issued against silver bullion purchased, |
$61O,75O,O12 gold and 1904, gu ,563 paper
money.
In conclusion, the resolutions declar- |
ed that free coinage CT silver at the |
ratio of Is to 1 means a dollar COM |
merciaIly worth 80 cents, but by fiat of |
the government made to pass for 100 |
cents, and the reputation of so per
cent. of Indebtedness. The sagacious |
instinct of trade would, the resolutions |
declared, correct this wrong as to fu- |
ture contracts by doubling the price
of commodities, and hence the free
coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to
means a great imitation of prices with
out any increase of values. Just in
proportion to this imitation would the
purchasing power of a dollar be de-
creased. and in the same measure and
to the same degree would pensions, an
nuities, salaries, life insurance, saw
ing funds and all fixed incomes be i'm
paired in their power to provide main
tenance and support
