cause Of the present depression and want

gress to at will substitute silver for the
gold standard aad measure OF value for all

shadow over all business transactions,
prevents daily labor from securing its just
reward, and impairs that sense of settled
security which is the very bedrock of

Of this issue, upon which every citizen

Il want my fellow citizens to look the
truth in tho fuue--to declare 1t openly,
and to stand by 1t persistenty. And tho
truth is that to Congress was delegated

NO INFLUENZA HERE,
Agricultural Department. OfI' cinls Dis
CusS the Latest Gormnn thnrre

Agricultural Department o fl cinls Dis
cuss the Latest German Charge.
Washington, Feb. 5.-The officials of
the agriculture department emphati-
cally discredit the probability of Ameri-
can horses carrying the influenza into
Germany, and say that If they do de-
velop it after importation it is con-
tracted from animals in that country.
The statements of the German min
lister of agriculture, Secretary Wilson
says, are unwarranted.
DR.. Salmon, the chief of the bureau
of animal industry, said when his at
tcntion was called to the dispatch:
so far as the department of agri-
culture is aware there is no influenza
prevailing in this country. 1t is dis
ease common to horses, and possibly
may be present in places of which we
have no information, but this Is i'm
probable, because news of that char
acter would promptly reach this de-
partment. The horses which are ex-
ported are not inspected, but If an ami
NAL has the disease 1t will recover or
die before the transatlantic journey Is
made
When the cable as to the prospective
quarantine of American horses was
shown to Chairman Hitt of the house
foreign affairs committee, he said this
move was clearly part of the general
movement toward exclusion shown by
the recent action against American
fruit. His colleague on the committee.
Mr.. Adams, of Pennsylvania. said the
dispatch suggested that 1t was time to
discover a bacillus in German wines,
and 1t would be desirable also to de-
termine as to the sanitary character Of
the process of making German sugar
sent to the United States.

Pennsylvanin's New Building May Be
Delayed by Court Proceedings.
Harrisburg, Feb. 5.-Attorney GEN
eral Mccormick yesterday sought by
preliminary injunction to restrain the
capitol building commission from
awarding the contract for the erection
of a capitol at is meeting next Monday.
The petition for the injunction was pre-
sented to the Dauphin county court.
The petition was combatted by counsel
for the commission, who insisted that
1t was an interference with the tights
of the Legislature, and might make i'm
possible the construction of capitol in
time for the next session of the legis-
lature. The court remarked that it was
matter of grave Importance to the
state, and one which would ultimately
come before the supreme court, to
which counsel assented. After consult
alton 1t was agreed without issuing a
preliminary injunction, that the matter
should be argued next Wednesday
morning. meanwhile the commission
will receive bids, but will not award a
contract. The petition sets forth that
the commission purposes building a
state house in violation of the act pro-
yidnG for such structure,
