But the Purchasing Clause of the Sherman Silver Law, Wasuixaron, D. C. Sept. 11, At last a real, genuine, bona White House baby, arrival in Washington, Saturday afternoon, created a sensation, causing Congress and its doings to be for the time forgotten or ignored. It was historical event that will be read 1803 tions, as the age at which most men | become President makes it improbable rence. of the White House, although there have been three other births in the children of President Tyler—both now living in W ashington—and the other to the wife of Col. Fred Grant. Moth- | er and daughter are in good condition | and both doing well, and although President Cleveland business as usual it is probable that his thoughts often involuntarily wander to his wife and baby, however import- ant the other matters may be which he has under consideration. The honors in connection with the White House, No other President was ever married in the White House other President’s wife ever gave birth to a child in the White House. Long! life and great happiness to Baby Ruth's sister, the White House baby. There is to be no compromise in the Senatorial fight over silver. It is to be | fought to a finish, President Cleveland having declared that he would accept Nothing but the repeal of the purchas- ing clause of the Sherman silver law without condition. This a great! disappointment to those who have hoped that some satisfactory arrange- ment would be that would get the solid support Democratic Senators and bring rank and file of the party closer together than the have been since the extra session mu The end of the debate yet sight, although some Senators belie that a vote can be reached in tw weeks. That is the doubtful thing. The vote is no longer doubtful. When it is taken the Vorhees bill will passed, but when that will be depends upon the endurance snd disposition of the Senators opposed to it. A very important step was taken by a full cab | and po is made of the the YY in is not » be President Cleveland when, alter discussion of the matter by the inet, he decided that this Government should proceed, without waiting for | Congress to take further action, to rigidly enforce the Geary anti-Chinese | law. This step should have been tak- en before, but it was deemed advisable, | under the circomstances, to wait al reasonable time vo see if Congress de- sired to take soy action on the law, and &also to give the New Chinese minister an opportunity to submit any message he may have been charg- ed with by his Government, looking | toward the negotiation of a new and | more satisfactory treaty. Further than the introduction of a bill by | Senator Dolph aporopriating $500,000 | to carry out the provision of the law, | Congress has taken no notice of it, and : the Chinese minister has done noth- ing, therefore the necessary orders | have been issued by the Treasury de- | partment to put the law to work The amouni of money aa available is | small but Congress is in session. No | trouble is expected with China, al-| though precausions have been taken to | have a sufficient naval force in Chinese waters to protect American interests, The world’s Fair souvenir half-dol- lar are coming into the Treasury for | redemption in such quantities that Senator Morgan has, at the request of | Secretary Carlisle, introduced a bill | to repeal so much of the law of 1579 as makes it compulsory upon the Secre- tary of the Treasury to redeem sub- sidiary silver coin in Treasury notes, which is the same as redeeming them in gold. The Chicago banks with which the greater portion of the Col umbian half-dollars were pledged to secure advances made to the Exposi- tion managers are now sending these coins to Washington for redemption, it having been found impossible to dispose of them at the expected prem. lum. Secretary Carlisle thinks they would just as well be put in general circulation as piled up in the Treasury; hence the bill to stop their redemption. Democratic members of the House Ways and Means committee will not be sorry when the public tariff hear ings close, on Wednesday of this week They have produced no information that was not already possessed by the committee, and have only served to keep the committee from more import ant work—the preparation of the re form tariff bill.

There are, unfortunately, dishonest newspapers, but they are comparatively few in number, Wc Will Save the Forests.

The Stephen Girard estate, within the last four years has planted thous- ands of trees in the vicinity of Girard- ville. In one year nearly 20,000 were set out.
