John Sherman Then and Now

In his great speech the other night SEN
ator Sherman in closing said:
There is another element of meanness in
this free coinage of silver. The United States
has always paid its bonds in gold coin or its
equivalent In the darkest hours Of the civil
war we stipulated to pay our bonds, principal
and interest, in gold or its equivalent
That merely shows how treacherous the
memory of some men may become. In the
appendix of the Congressional Globe of 1858
is a speech delivered by Senator Sherman in
the senate the 27th of February of that
year. From it we copy few words as fol.
lows:
/ say that equity and justice are amply
satisfied if redeem these bonds at the end
Of the five years in the same kind of money, of
the same intrinsic value it bore at the time
they We're issued. Gentlemen may reason
about this matter and again, and
they can not come to any other conclusion; at
least that has been my conclusion after the
most careful considerations Senators are
sometimes in the habit in order to defeat the
argument of an antagonist of saying that this
is reputation. Why, sir, every citizen of the
United States has conformed his business to
the legal tender clause.
As to debts contracted since the legal ten
der law took effect, they We're contracted in
currency and upon the express stipulation in
the law that their principal should be paid in
legal tenders and the interest in coin. If that
stipulation was not III the law the right to
redeem would only res. upon the general prin.
ciple that debt may be paid in the kind OF
money in which it was contracted But pub.
lie as we'll private debts contracted since
the legal tender act do not rest upon infer
ence, but upon express stipulation i'll the law;
and it is equitable and right that the United
St,tnc anvil itself of this ri of the
contract.

and possesses, IL is said, inherent talent
and magnetism TO a marked degree.
"Myles Aroon" Is O true picture OF Irish
home life. 1t 10 free from all that evokes
partisapship, ano - the scenes we're laid
story would prove just as interesting. A
nun Der OF fine settings are promised, the
scenery being entirely new and oeserip-
tive OF many picturesque spots in the
Emerald Isle. The company In support
OF Mr.. Mack 10 said TO be by far the best
as yet seen in production of this class,
and contains the names OF many we'll
known stagefolk, among whom may be
mentioned Miss Queenie vasssr, a pretty
girl, who will be seen as Maggie Farrell,
the object OF Myles' sfeotion; Miss Olive
White, Miss Mile ssoket, Miss Minnie
DIP, Miss Lottie Vincent, Little Florence

gence, Sir. Davenport Bebus, Mr.. Henry

Wizard OF the Nile.

or all the productions OF comic opera
given in New York city or this city last
season, there was none which attained so
great popularity as that OF "The Wizard
OF the Nile," which served TO present
Frank Daniels as a comic opera star, aud
which will be seen ut the Providence
Opera House mex. Thursday for an en-
gagement OF three nights aud Saturday
matinee. There were many new operatic
productions last season, ana therefore
the prominence OF this one was all the
greater By comparison. Messrs. Harry Is.
Smith and Victor Herbert had given
their best work in this opera, and the
company selected TO support Mr.. Daniels
was a thoroughly competent one. The
worth OF the opera was pretty plainly
proven by its opening week of the present
season. The cast, with but one excep-
tion. was unchanged, ana therefore tho
sttractiveness of the opera for a second
year was more easily to be determined.
The scenery and costumes are all new (;
the company the Same as last season with
but one exception, which is that the part
OF Cleopatra is now played by Miss Edna
Thornton. The friends OF Louise Royce,
Greta Risey, Walter Allen, Leonard
Walker and Louis Cassavant viii be able
TO greet them once more.
