After Twenty Years.

WIDER the notice given by Mr..
Vest, he will move to-day that
the senate take up the considera-
ton of the Teller resolution. That is the
resolution, known as the Stanley Mat
thews resolution OF 1875 which recites
that all bonds of the United States are
payable in silver; the Matthews reso-
luton added that the restoration of the
silver dollar as a full legal tender for
the payment of government bonds lis
not in violation of public faith or the
rights of the creditor"
Mr.. Teller's resolution IL reported
favorably from the senate committee to
which it was sent. Mr.. Aldrich Mr..
Plat. of Connecticut, and other goldbugs
belonging to the committee said that
since the resolution could not carry the
present congress its discussion must be
useless. The reply to this objection was
that the administration is taking up
much time in an effort to ger the house
to pass bill that cannot pass the sem
ate and that it is we'll enough to keep
both sides of the question in view. since
the administration started the agitation.
Besides, it was urged. the resolution
simply re-affirms a proposition for
which the republican vote-including
the vote of Congressman Mckinley-was
overwhelming at the time Stanley Mat
thews introduced il. and it is in order
to ascertain through the legitimate pro-
cess of debate what has happened dur
ing twenty years that should prompt
the men who Were the enthusiastic sup
porters then of the broad proposition
covered in the resolution to be against
IL now. The inquiry is whether a car
dinal doctrine In finance has changed or
whether the administration people have
| changed, and why.
Twenty years ago the senate went
/ with alacrity at the discussion of the
/ Matthews resolution. 4 motion was
made TO refer it TO the judiciary COM
mittee, and this was lost by vote of
/ 81 TO 10. Mr. Edmunds who is in sight
to-day as the head of the self-created

days-his amendment was defeated by a

4 that body would have welcomed
the chance to seat corbett, the man
named by the governor of Oregon for
that states vacancy, but the thing
can't be done. In view of the adverse
action of the committee on privileges
and elections, il may be considered GER
tain that there will be one vacant chair
for Oregon until the Legislature elects
a senator.
When, in 1897. the Legislature met to
elect Mr.. Mitchells successor a combi-
nation was formed which prevented
the organization of the house for any
business whatever. Day after day
the legislature met without organizing,
and when it adjourned the governor of
the state appointed Mr.. Corbett to fill
the vacancy caused by the expiration
of Mr.. Nitchells term. Then arose the
ovestion as 10 the power of the gov

ing that inasmuch as the legislature
had failed TO organize it could not be
said TO have met at all.

ground that il presented a case fo1

Honest and Fraudulent Pensions.

From the New York Tribune
No one seeks to withdraw pensions
from those soldiers who are entitled to
them under even the very liberal laws
now in force. What is sought is first, to
purge the pension list of fraud; second,
to limit payments to soldiers entitled to
them and to those dependent upon them
when the pension was earned.

rHOSE who are giving attention

those in the city who propose to vote
against bonding they are. as rule,

The man who owns property in this
city cannot defend his opposition TO the
bonding project on the plea that he is
against high taxes. because, with

with the benefit which every inch of

praise of the modesty and self-abnegaton
of Senator Hanna in thus announcing his

heretofore. instead of abdicating, as must
evidently have been the case in the event
of Mr.. Hanna's defeat. 1t is something

are not sluggish or apathetic. But the

"Reminiscences of the Commune.

Very interesting is the collection of relics of the commune which a gentle man connected with an important finan- cial establishment has been forming for some time with no little patience and perseverance. Among other noteworthy articles it comprises red flag, with the number of battalion and a company inscribed upon it, which f1oated close to the spot on which the i'll fated hos tages were massacred; the rosary and the small volume of the Acts of the Apostles which one of tho priests held tightly in his hands when he was shot down, and a portion of the eassock worn by Mgr. Darboy, stained with his blood, while the spade with which the grave of the archbishop of Paris was dug is also to be seen. Then there is a paper which was discovered on the corpse of another of the victims, and on which had been hurriedly written the words: "I am about to die. forgive those who are killing me. 1 an thinking of those who love me, and l hope to meet those who have loved me in heaven. There are, moreover, number of souvenirs of buo olSSo III liC Shapo Ol uLliOi hIoi Dub- tons, fragments of shells and so forth, and by no means the least remarkable feature of the collection is to be found in the specimens of the various articles made by the hostages while they were awaiting their doom in La Roquette prison.

BALLOON SIGNALING.
It's Application to Scientific Exploration
 In the Polar Regions.

Its Application to Scientific Exploration
 In the Polar Regions.
 Electric balloon signaling is showing much progress in the facility and cer- tainty of its methods. Signaling from the car of an ordinary captive balloon requires the use of a balloon of consid- erable size and also presupposes calm weather, but when the signals are made by electric flashes the operator can remain on the ground with the apparatus, and the balloon is portable and can be quickly inflated. Eric $. Bruce has invented a system which is independent of the confguration of the country. Instead of the Morse key contacts, which would not withstand the heavy currents necessary for light ing, he uses specially improved key worked by carbon contacts. For mili. tary purposes be advises the operation of balloons of vanished cambric, such, i'll fact, as now are used by Great Brit ain, Italy and Belgium. Gold beaters' skin also is a material much in vogue. It is so light that an IS inch balloon constructed of it and filled with coal gas will lift itself. On the other hand, it would require cambrio balloon sev- en feet in diameter to lift itself. MT. Bruce believes that electric balloon sig naling soon will be extensively applied to scientific exploration in arctic and antarctic expeditions. For that purpose he recommends balloon seven feet in diameter which would lift 800 feet of cable, with cubic capacity of l50 feet. The filling of this would necessitate tho taking out of steel tube of compressed hydrogen about eight feet long. He finds it good practice to put the lamps inside the balloon. This causes loss of Illuminating power, but makes the signaling clearer. When incandescent lamps are flashed, the filament remains hot for moment. In the open this is visible and connects the flashes, where as with the lamps inside the balloon the afterglow is not seen. In foggy weather the lamps, of course, have to be outside, but then the fog acts as would the gold beaters' skin envelope and obviates the confusion caused by the afterglow.- Chicago Record.

BALKY MACHINERY.
Peculiarities of Mechanism Which Cannot
 Be Explained.

PecuIiarities of Mechanism Which Cannot
 Be Explained.
 A curious circumstance is connected with the building of the famous ma chine used at Johns Hopkins university for ruling lines on glass for the use of spectroscopes and similar apparatus. The machine is considered the best in its line of business in the world, since 1t has been able to rule 120, 900 lines on piece of glass one inch long. The es- sential part of it is a marvelously fine screw which moves the engraving tool a minute distance every time the screw IS turned. Before the machine was really finished it was decided to put the parts together and make trial experiment to see approximately how it would work, and if the trial proved fairly satisfac- tory one the machine was to be taken apart. finished nicely and put together again. When the test was made, it was found that the machine worked exactly right. It seemed impossible to improve on it. Thereupcn the professors in charge of the work decided that it would be risky matter to attempt to improve on perfection, and 1t was agreed to let the machine stay in its ap- parently rough state, since it worked exactly as it should do. If it were taken apart, it might not act so well when put together again, and so this miracu- lously fine instrument appears today to be in half finished state.
 This may seem mere finicalness, but let the average man who slaves himself remember the struggles he has with that moderately fine instrument, his razor, and he will begin to respect the professor caution. The average shaver knows that sometimes he can get the exact com bination that produces a good shave and at others, when apparently all the conditions are the same, he seems to be merely pulling his fur out of shape without much effort on the hair he desires to remove. Ho consults numerous barbers, ard they all give him pet recipes for making 0 razor cut smoothly which usually sound like nonsense-but the stubborn fact remains that sometimes homemade shave is comparative pleasure, W hile at others for some inscrutable reascn it approach es the horrors of the ilquisition.
 Machinists recognize this freakiness of material substances. An engineer who used to be pump inspector for section of the Chicago and Northwest ern railroad assures ne that many a stormy night when he has gone down the track on his little car to inspect a pump that wouldn't work he has been in despair because he could find no req son why the pumping machinery refused to act properly. Everything seemed to be in its right place. Knowing nothing else to do, he has put all the parts back as he found them, turned on steam and to his surprise, relief and chagrin the pump worked as we'll as he could wish. Chicago Post.
