Thelate Secretary Gresham and Sir Julian
Psuncefote entertained into an agreement
that the Canadian claims on account Of
vessels seized in Behring Sea should be
settled in full upon the pay of $425,-
600. President Cleveland urged Congress
in 1894, to rstify the agreement and ap.
propriate the money. With the jealousy
which Republican Congresses have always
exhibited towards anything emanatine
from Democratic administration, Congress
refused to make the appropriation, but at
the request of the Secretary. of State ap-
propriated $50 900 to defray the expenses
of the United States in an international
commission. That commission has finished
its labors and filed its award. and this
jealous spite of Republican Congress has
cost our government about 100000 more
for the claims than President Cleveland
could have made full settlement for, in
Guiding the $4,000 expenses of the COM
mission, or whatever they will finally foot
up, whether more or less than the appro-
priation.

Entertainments.

Never Again." the attraction selected
by the Woodbury. Country Club for Their
benefit on the 18th inst, which is STYLED
by Charles Froham on the program his
| fnniest most successful and best PLAYED
character comedy" had its first Philadel-
phia production last night at the Broad
Street Theatre. The play, which is an
adaptation from 1.-THE French by Sydney Ros-
enfield, is full of Gallo wit, and the audi
ence last night roared with laughter from
the time the curtain rose until it fell for
the last time. The plot is not sufficiently
complicated to tax any intellect, and in
fact is only a clever re production of a
rather threadbare theme.
To say that one of Charles Froham's
many companies presents the farce is q
guarantee that all the characters will be
most ably filed. Mr.. E. NJ. Holland as
Ribot, and Miss Grace Kimball as Octavie,
are easily the stars of the production, but
Fritz Williams, who will be remembered
for his good work in the Amazonsn a few
years ago, very cleyerly plays Vignon.
Samuel Reed as Planchette, George Marion
as Katzen TANNER, Ina Hammer as
Madame Ribot, and Blanche Burton as
Marielene, fill their roles well.
The Club may be congratulated on
securing for a benefit an attraction which
created such furror in New York.
Tickets may be secured at Merits drug
store any time this week-sale closing
Saturday evening the 9Th inst.
Special cars will be on the so and IL 45
trains on the evening Of the 18th.

Financial Facts.

United States Senator George G.. Vest, Of
Missouri, contributes to the January
Forum an article on 1.-THE Future of Ri.
metallism," in which he says -
What the friends of bimetallism de.
nounce is the closing of the minis to silver
coinage and then using the commercial
depreciation of silver bullion as an argu-
ment against silver money. They charge
and statistics support them-that there
is not enough gold and silver in the world
for the necessities of business and that the
minis have been closed to silver for the
purpose of decreasing the volume of REDEEM
ton money, so as to increase the purchasing
power of gold. They believe that the
pending struggle is the fight which has
been waged in all the centuries is the at
tempt to use governmental powers by the
rich and powerful to increase their incomes
at the expense of the masses. No intelli,
gent or honest man expects to enact laws
which will put money into the pockets Of
those who do not labor, but money should
not be diminished in volume below the
amount necessary to afford every human
being fair opportunity to secure just com
pensation for the product OF his Or her
enterprise and toll. The single gold stand
ard is an instrument Of tyranny-the foe of
that equality which is the basis of free
institutions 1t cannot be dsnied that
plausible arguments can be made against
bimetallism by the men whose trained
inteIlects have been devoted to the art of
making money breed money. They
parade the spectres Of repudiation,' dis
honor and the single silver standard As
to Reputation, it is enough to say that no
bimetallist advocates or contemplates it in
any degree or form. The friends Of
bimetallism are pledged to the payment of
all national and individual obligations
honestly and fully, as stipulated between
creditor and debtor. They do not propose
to pay in fifty-cent dollars, but in dollars
Of full purchasing power and value. When
the minis Of the United States are again
open to silver coinage of legal-tender dol
lars, the commercial value of silver will
Immediately rise 10 that OF gold, at the
established ratio

4O,0000OO bushels for export after meeting

largest surplus for export on record, except

And it's cheap.


And cheapness don't mean trash
iness-for trash is dear at any
price.
The garments are generous in
size, are prettily made and the
styles run from the simplest every

bit that Paris wits can conjure.
The bulk of the stock is made in
America-not in stuffy workrooms,
but by great semi-rural organiza-
tons of bright, clearly, well-paid
women.
Modern methods, machine helps,
continuous work on great quanti-
ties, bring prices below the level
charged generally for "made to
