and the bill was passed substantially
as 1t came from the House. 1t is
someW hat surprising that the Senate
should, even TO this extent, have
helped along the republican policy
Of insufficient appropriations, in or
der that, the government finances
may be made to appear better than
they should be, for the purpose OF
bamboozling the voters at the Con-
gressional elections. 1t is at this
time absolutely known to officials
OF the pension bureau that a defci
ency appropriation, which may ex-
ceed $4,000, 900, will have to be
made by the next session of Con-
gress to pay pensions.
Representative Richardson, OF
Tenn. stirred up the republican
menagerie in the House by repeat
ing minstrel end mans joke about
the only two things he ever saw
that were exactly alike-the Cleve-
land panie ard the Mckinley boom;
and when the republicans started in
to talk prosperity" they were
asked why that prosperity had
brought on strike of I25 900 cot
ton mill operatives in New Eng
land, and made quite mess of their
attempts to explain that unusual
accompaniment of prosperity"
Grosvenor, Of Ohio, got himself so
tied up that he sought to escape by
a bit of personal blackguardism-
calling Greene, of Nebr., a back
woodsman. He and his party will
find lots of back-woodsmen Of the
same sort next November, and ev-
cry one of them will cast an anti
republican vote.
This is what Senator Teller said
of this era of prosperity: II do not
know, perhaps, but 1 have tried to
learn, l have given this question
hours Of study that few men have,
and l believe that this is the great
question; that the money question
threatens not only this people, ,butthe
enslavement of mankind throughout
the world. said in 1893, to my
countrymen: You are entering up

unPRoFlTABLE ECONOMY,
CONGRESSMAN LIQUIDS BILL TO IN
CREASE THE RATES OF
POSTAGE,

Congressman Loud, of California
has perennial bill to regulate the
rates of postage on newspapers and
periodicals, which is once more un.
der serious consideration by the
House. This bill has been defeat
ed at several former sessions
of Congress, but its author still
urges it with persistancy worthy
of better cause.
Mr.. Loud's bill is intended to re-
move the annual deficiency in the
Postal Department by charging a
higher rate of postage to certain
classes of publications, and placing
restrictions upon all publications.
Under its provisions sample cop
les which publishers have heretofore
been entitled to send through the
mails at one cent per pound can on
ly be sent at cent per copy. This
measure will undoubtedly decrease
the quantity of mail matter of this
nature, but will it result in sufii-
cicnt gain to the government to war
rant this curtailing Of the publish
er's right to increase his circulation
by a judicious use Of sample copies
especially when the existing law. if
properly enforced, is sufficiently
stringent to prevent an abuse ofthe
privilege and sending an excessive
quantity of samples.

LETTER.

From our Washington Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, Jan. as, 1897.
The gold standard crowd is on
the run. The stampedf began be-
fore the adoption of the Teller reso-
luton by the Senate, but the knowl-
edge that that resolution would be
adopted. as we'll as the advice ofthe
republican Senators and Represent
atives from the middle west, con-
vinccd Mckinley that the gold
standard business would not go
down, and that his party $ only hope
was to make play to keep the BIZ
metallists from deserving the repub-
lican party in body. The game
was started when Mr.. Preston, Di-
rector of the u. S. Mint, who had
made himselfparticularly obnoxious
to the silver men by his obstrusiye
advocacy of the gold standard, both
under the Cleveland and the pres
ent administration, and whose work
in that direction was referred to by
Senator Wolcott in his recent speech.
was buncoed and the proposition
given to a republican binetallist
from Iowa. But the highest trpmn
was played when Secretary Gage,
the high priest of goldocracy, was
made to publicly say that McKinle,
was bimetallist and was support
ed in that policy by every member
of his Cabinet. Ye gods! think of
that for somersault.
The opinion is growing in Con-
gress that the sending of that war
ship to Havana was the result of an
understanding between the admin
istration and Spain, and that its
principal object there is to stave off
Congressional action.
So long as President Dole, of
Hawaii, who is now being enter
tanned In Washington as the guest
of the U. S., contents hiuiself with
the social attentions that are being
paid to him and his wife he will find
everything lovely and the goose
hanging high, but if he attempts to
meddle with the annexation fight
he will find things very different.
During the discussion which pre-
ceded the adoption Of the Teller
resolution. declaring U. s. bonds
payable in silver at the option of
the government, Senator Teller
forced Senator Allison, who voted
for this same resolution in 1873 and
now against it, to admit that it
would be legal and proper for the
Secretary Of the Treasury to pay the
obligations Of the government in
either gold or silver. Mr.. Allison
tried to qualify that admission with
lot of stuff about the duty Of the
Secretary of the Treasury to main
tain the parity Of the two metals
ETC., but the admission was all that
Mr.. Teller wanted; he is willing to
leave the explanation Of Mr.. Ali
son'svotc against the resolution after
that admission to be made by that
gentleman to the voters Of Iowa.

So said the Board of Education
in Washington TIP. at their Aug.
meeting and if ever Gar ruled
with an iron rod and for causes
imaginary only such was the die
tum when they over ruled the will
of three directors in hiring, or un-
der the hobby law, electing
teacher in Sub. District where the
majority of the patrons and the
three directors representatives of
the people of No. 7 and sworn to do
their duty elected to employ a Mr..
Pearl Diles who had previously
taught their school and scarce jar
could be found and only on the
merest whimsical cause and that
not for long time after he had
taught said school. However and
forsooth the reason why the cow
crossed the road was just because
she crossed the road sir & C, & c.,
was about as good reason for fail
ing to confirm the employment of
Dlles, and when the Board of Ed
ucation shuts off the will of the
people in No. 7 where next may
they not do likewise law or no law
and without regard to the solemn
pledge of the directors without their
bounds only 80 some fellow who
pays few dollars tax comes to the
Board and says to the honorable
Board and says my great grand
mothers grand mother cat don't like
the looks of that ere teacher and
you must not employ him or the cat
may leave home and of course they
don't employ him just cause that
ere tax payer said not too do 1t for
he paid more tax ner them Dereck-
ters. Holy angels cast your pity
ing glances down; sing without
lining.
Hotter weather at this time OF
the season has not been known al

neither man nor beast can scarce
do anything and as we have beer

thing that warmth, air and sun
