national committee, has rendered decision
that will be of interest in every congress
SIGNAL district in the selection of delegates
to the ST. Louis convention In the Tenth
Ohio district a faction OF the Republican
party undertook to elect the two delegates
from the district at primary election.
The opposing faction. led by ex-Congress-
man Thompson, of Ironton. contended that
the delegates must be selected according
to the practice OF selecting congressional
candidates in the district, namely. at a
convention CT delegates chosen by primar-
les. To secure a decision on the subject,
Judge Thompson formally appealed TO
Chairman Carter, and was sustained in the
following letter:
Replying to the question presented
through Representative Fenton. you are in
formed that any departure in selecting
delegates TO the national convention from
the usual proceedings followed in the dis
trict heretofore i'm nominating candidate
for Congress would violate the rule pre-
scribed in the call for the St Louis con-
yention. II the practice OF nominating can

The Rev. Father Pheland, replying

The Rev. Father Pheland, replying
to Archbishop Irelands letter, says:
We all know what makes hard times.
1t is want of money. Did anyone ever
see hard times when people had plenty
of money? We know now why we havo
no money. The bankers have locked 1t
up on us. But We know where to get
more-in the ground, thank God.
Here is the idea which underlies and
accounts for good deal of the support
that free silver Is getting. Unquestion-
ably the notion existence that free COIN
ago will make money more abundant,
ano that therefore people generally will
have more. But neither Father PheIand
nor anybody else has, or can, explain
how they are goicg to get it. he people
who own the bullion-and they are not
the masses by any mean s-after they
have 1t coined into dollars, will not we
may be sure, go about making people
presents of those dollars. They will part
with them only when they receive their
equivalent. The workinemen to get
one must give a certain amouub of labor;
the farmer can only possess one by CIV
Ing IN exchange certain amount OF his
wheat or corn. Abundan &c of money is
not what makes people rich, but abund-
ance of money in every mans pock et
If the volume of the currency were
doubled tomorrow neither the laboring
man nor the farmer, nor anybody else
would get any of 1T unless he gave somH-
thing for it. Even Mr.. Bryan, though
he has held out all sorts Of rosy induce
ments to vote for free coinage. has never
pretended that the new dollars were to
be distributed around among the people,
Yet it Is undoubtedly true that great
many men, Father Pheland among
them, have vague notion that in some
way the new dollars are to get into
peoples pockets with little or no exer-
tion on their part.

One of the rumors that comes from
Spain is to the effect that IL the Cuban
rebellion is not put down by March Spain
will let Cuba go. OF course there is al
ways doubt concerning any story that
relates directly or indirectly to Cub a,
but there is certain amount of plausi-
bflity about this one. 1t costs money to
carry on war, and it needs men. Spain
is entirely out of the former and her
supply of the latter is very nearly ex.
hausted. She could not fight indefinitely

swordfish jabbed hole through the
hull of the barkentine Irmgard while
on her recent trip from Honolulu with q
cargo OF sugar. The fact Of the vessel
being attacked by the sea monster was
not discovered until yesterday
The officers were making an inspec-
ton Of the barketine's hull when they
discovered about two inches of the weap-
on Of the fish protruding from the plank
of the vessel few inches above the wat
er line as she lay in the stream with
her hold empty. When loaded the spot
where the swordfsh struck would be
about four feet below the surface Of the
water. The horny sword has broken off
and about two inches Of it remains out
from the vessels hull. The fish had at.
tackled the barkentine with such force
| that it had driven It's sword through
the five.inoh plankings of the vessel on
| the port bow and through the efght-inch
skin planks Immediately inside. or
through thirteen inches of solid Oregon
pine.
The point OF the broad, fat sword pro-
truded about an inch into the vessel s
hold. The planks had split along the
grain for about foot on each side of
whore the fish, sword had been forced
through the vessels hull, and 1T was
through the cracks that the water found

| The attacks of swordfsh on vessels
that ply the Southern seas ara not un :
common. but 1t has been seldom recorded
| that vessels have had holes bored through
their hulls by the sea tigers so as to cause

do no know just when the attack was
| made on the Irmgard. but they think
| that 1t was while in about latitude 80
deg. north, and longitude 145 deg. west,
while the bnrksntine was plungihg in a
heavy head sea. Otherwise the men say
| they could have felt the sho ok Of "a blow

The enormous registration in Chicago
proves the existence of an Intense inter-
est in the result of the election. The
quarters from which the increase chiefly
comes show that what is known as the

questions, is thoroughly stirred up this
year, and intends to make itself felt at

Ex-Secretary Boutwell, makes 1t very
clear that the characterization of silver In
1873 was done deliberately, after full and
free discussion and with full knowledge
of what it meant. But that has been
done many times tefore. If it were
ignorance or lack OF information that
was at the bottom OF the story that the
passage of the demonstration act was by
stealth Mr.. Boutelle's statement might
tend to stop its circulation. But that is
not the case. The story ia circulated
malioiously, with full knowledge that
there is no evidence to support it.
