of asking you to let this demon
stration go over until next spring
at which time we will give you
such a demonstration as will fully
compensate you for this delay.

COUNTRIES DEBT TO
 GROVER CLEVELAND
LESLIE M. SHAW TALKS ON FINANCE AND PAYS TRIBUTE TO CLEVELAND, M'KINLEY AND ROOSEVELT.

Bristol Va, December 14-Ex- Secretary Leslie M Shaw delivered the closing speech of the campaign of Bascom Slemp, son of the late Congressman Campbell Slemp for Congress, at Norton, Va.. to- night.
 We owe debt of gratitude to Grover Cleveland for maintaining the integrity of our credit" said Shaw. ''It seems to have been his special task to hold the country against the popular sentiment having its root in greenbackism. In my judgment very few men who have held the office would have combatted the over whelming sentiment of his own party for the free coinage of silver and the very pronounced sentiment in the opposition party
 After telling of the prosperity that came to the country through the wise ad- minstration of Mckinley, he added
 Tt has been the great privilege of Theodore Roosevelt to demonstrate that in this country the people and not the capitalist govern Under his leadership the supremacy of the law and the uni versatility of its application has been demonstrated as seldom if ever before in our history"
 He paid a high tribute to the late Congressman Slemp, who held the only republican, seat in the house from Vir- ginia and for which his son is the party s nominee. He urged that the people sup puort him.

NO LEGISLATION
 ON CURRENCY
ACCORDING TO THE PROGRAMME MAPPED OUT CONGRESS WILL NOT PASS ANY FINANCIAL MEASURES.

Washington, December 14-It can be stated on the highest authority that if the subcommittee of the House commit tee on banking and currency, now deal ing with the subject, can have it's way no effort will be made by the present Congress to adopt legislation remedial of the present financial condition All the energies of the committee will be direct ed toward the framing and passage of laws more general in character and which will be intended to preclude shrink age of the circulation.
 Assurance of elasticity by the adoption of the credt-currency system may be recommended or some different measures toward the same end may eventually be decided upon, but in any event no legisla- tion will be suggested by the committee for the correction of present conditions. The subcommittee held a four-hour con- ference today with it's chairman, Repre- sentative Fowler of New Jersey, at which the bill which the subcommittee has un- dertaken to draft was earnestly discussed but no decision as to Its precise char acter and scope was reached. It Is not unlikely the subcommittee will be ready to report on the bill until after the holi- days.

mate him. The more radical of the lead CTS, however disturbed Grant. They were afraid that if they should select him and he would be elected, he would be ungrateful and defeat many of their plans. Elihu B. Washburn of Illinois, who was prominent leader on the re- publican side, and who was In the House of Representatives, launched the boom for General Grant, and declared that he was all right in politics though he had former ly been a democrat, and that if elected he would conscientiously carry out the principles and policies of the republican party. His great military achievements captured the plain people, and he was overwhelmingly elected and reelected.
 "The last two years of Grants admin istration were not very popular, and there was great deal of scandal afloat con corning the whisky frauds, in which prominent men of both sides were in volved. It was alleged that some prom fnent men in Grants administration en- deayored to screen some of the more prominent republicans, although all ad- mtted that General Grant was as honest, just, and upright man as any In the universe.

The Seven Lean Years.

The late discoveries of Brugsch Bey in connection with the Egyptian hiero- glyphics which he deciphered are the subject of an article in the Oesterreich- ische Wochenschrift, in which the writer says that it is no longer difficult to un- derstand the origin of the seven lean years narrated in the book of Genesis. The inscriptions as translated by Brugsch show that TOO years before the Christian era the Nile for seven consecutive years did not overflow, and famine, pestilence am, misery followed. We know" says the writer, that the date of the seven years of fruitlessness mentioned in Gen. esIs was 1700 B. C., and thus what has been looked upon as a fancy has through these hieroglyphics become a matter of history. The failure of the Nile to over flow, the whitening of the vegetation. .e lands devoid of crops. famine and the consequent scourges are all depicted .n the pictures which the student has been able to decipher."
