Tr.r.FOHAM to the his patch, i Washington-, D. C, Feb. 9. At the hearing before the House Committee on Coinage, 'Weight and Measures to-day, Leonard Klione, of Pennsylvania, repre senting the Legislative Committee of the National Grange, asked that silver be re stored to its former place. The farmers had no silver or stocks to sell, hut they did have farm products, which were affected not only by our policy but by the policy of other countries. AVlien the American farmer went with his -wheat into the Liverpool market he obtained possibly SI 10 a bushel for it, ihile the Indian and Italian farmer realized SI SO in silver for his wheat, thus placing the American farmer in a disad vantageous position in the foreign markets. He lead the revolution's of the National (rranre in favor of free coiuage. The farmer, he added, was at the mercy of the nionev lender, and he wanted Congress to" protect the legal tender irualiucation of the moncv issued by the General Government, to that he could" not be compelled to make his payments in one form of money alone Mr. Tavior, of Illinois, asked Mr. lihone if he could not get in Liverpool the same amount of silver for his wheat that thelu diau farmer could. rVirelgn Exchanges In Gold Mr. Klione replied that the exchanges be tween the United Suites and England were tuado m gold, and that if the farmer took sller bullion lie would have to sell it here ut it milium price Mr" McKcignan. of Nebraska When you bring the sil cr home is it not placed at a disadvantage by being dishonored here? Mi. Uhonc made an aflinnative response, and said that tne American lanncr would be willing to taUc United Mates silver coin In IJerpool for tub whc.it, because here it was worth as much as sold, but if ho took silver lor his wheat, he was not gti.cn American com. but bullion. When the In dian Urmer look bis siler home be could ;et it loiucd, which would buy there as uir.cli a.in other lorm ot money. Mr. Ta lor, or MinoU Vie you in favor of putting "the country on a silver basis, the same as in Indi-v? Mr. Klione replied that free coinage of silver would go a great way toward bringing it to a parity with gold. Uven if all that was saidaiainst the fiee coinage of silver were true, the farmer would not oe anything, because there was no tim-s wlien the tanner Jared us w ell as in 1K55, when there was a de preciated currency. Mr. Williams, of Illi nois, snH he Javored fiee coinage of both cold and Mlvci. Si!er Redeemed in Gold. A discussion then arose between the mem "bers. or the committee oer a statement made by Mr. Taylor, ot Illinois thatDirector Leech had said the silver certificates were redeemed in srold, and that in this, way gold would llow out. Mr. 1 Il.nnl asked if any Secretary of the Treasury -would dare to p.i out gold for a silver certifies! e. Mr. Taylor replied that no Secretary dared do an thing cl-o. Mr. 'island Then he vjolafs the law every time he does it, and is liable to impeach ment, lor the net distinctly sas they are redeemable in silver dollars, and in nothing else. Mr. Kartine. of Nevada, said the Director ot the Mint would not state th.it he would uiy out gold tor silver certificates. lie mislit say he would on demand pay gold Tor Treasury notes. Me-srs. Taylor and Williams, of Massa chusetts, l'isisted that tin- practice of the Government was to pay out gold for any of Its obligation, whenever demanded, and Mr. Williams, of Illinois, and others insisted that the silver law by it term made the certificates icdeemable"ia silver.

General Flagler aid it would lequirc 135 of t.lu new steel guns and loo of the new steel mortars. Relative to the dcleuses of san Francisco, the General said it was the present plan to mount all S and 10 inch guns on disappearing carriages, the large guns to be placed in Barbetteand metal turrets. Tnee disappearing carriages would cause the gun to disappear behind a parapet which conceals and protects the gun and its pcisonnel while loading and firing. In response to a question as to the car jjuges for the guns already completed Gen eral Flagler said that none were now finished, but three weeks ago (evidently having in mind the Chilean affair) he was prepared to mount 111 haste the guns on the old carriages now ou the Pacific coast.

The Non-Union Men Deal the Unionists Another SfTero Blow A Contractor Trvs to Employ Both Classes and the Trades Council Acts. A bitter war is raging in Uniontown be tween the union and non-union men at work at tho various trades and the non-union men seeni to be getting the best of the fight. Tha trouble started some time ago, when Lincoln Carson, a contractor, employed non-union men to rebuild the Warren glass works. After he had the framo of the building, up Carson stopped work on it until a few days ago. When ne resumed operations he again employed non-union men. Car?on and another contractor namod Beilgley are jointly building a house for Nathaniel Hurst and have union men only employed on it. To-day the masons who are at woikon the foundation were notified by a committee from the Trades Council to quit wort, as Carson was employing both union and non-onion men. TheStoticmasons'Union ordered the men to continue "n ork and they did o. The rgular monthly meetimr of the Trades Council will he held on Thurdav evening of this week, when action will be taken in the matter. A member of the Car- Iicnters' Union said to-night action will be irought against the masons and they can he fined $.7) each lor the offense. There is considerable trouble among the different organization represented in the trades council besides that given above, and uiv less matters can he arranged satisfactorily at Tuesday night's meeting several of the unions may withdraw from the council. MINE W0SSEES IN CONVENTION. Secretary McBryde't Report Shows the Union lias Received Some Hard Knocks. A special f 1 cm Columbus last night says the N.itioual Convention or United Mine Workers convened yesterday. Officers will be elected to-day to save tho delays of elec tioneering, The lollowing Pennsylvania delegates are present: District 2, P. Mo Bryde, T. A. Bradley.Samuel Hunter, Joseph Williams. Thomas McEvov, E.H. Davis and James White; District 3, Thomas Hisrgerty; District 5. John Costello. Mathew Pistorius, George Fletcher, Peter Sample and M. Mc-Qnadc- ecretary McEryde, in his report, showed that at the convention last 3ear the mem bership rolls showed 32 000 members, and now it is down to 20.000. The report continues as follows: "Previous to May 1 last assistance was rendered to striking brothers to tho extent of 520,000. These tnkcs lost us 7 000 members. In Iowa we recently lost 1,000 men "and expended t2,00Q. During the lecent strike in Illinois we mid not money enough in the treasury to render assistance and tho miners became dissatisfied and dropped from the union to the number ora COO. We have spent $5,000. In June there were 33,000 miners locked out and on n stride. To extend aid to all of these it would take a large reserve f'ind or a membership of I,001,43S, and we can have neither." He then says to climax all their hard luck came the uncalled for strike in the Pittsburg district, This was followed by the ill-advised strike in Indiana. He thinks it is loo early to contemplate the result. THE STE1KEES PAKADE. With Masic and lianriera Tney Proclaim Their Fight. The striking conductors and motorraen of the l'ittshnrg, Allegheny and Manchester Truction Company to the number of 100 or more paraded the streets of lower Allegheny, last nipnt, headed uy.a Unibs hand, ana car rying banners and transparencies. The line of march was taken up carlyin the evening, and the parade wis over quite early. 1'olicemen were scattered nil along Beaver avenue, and they marched with the procession down 10 Woods Run. The whole affair pabcdotX quietly The people on the Mdcn-alkK did not seem to be very enthusi astic, and but little cheering wai heard. There was nothing new 1 1 the strike yester day. The road was running regularly nnd being largely patronized. President Prescott in Plttsbarc President Prescott, of tho International Typographical Union, was in Pittsburg yes terda3 while on his way to Washington. He expressed hlmeir well pleased with the way the light was going. He thought it would only be the work of a short time to worst the other 18 non-union offices left. A'ptv Vork Grocery.

City Baseball Clnbs Meet and Form an Organization. PITTSBURG'S OFFER TO KELLY. Spider tfellyandPlimmer Matched to Fight S for tjie Championship. MEETING OP TROTTING HOUSE MEN The City Baseball League is to-be a go. It was organized last evening at a meeting held in The Dispatch office, and a real enthu siastic meeting it was. The attendance was large, and seven clubs were represented. Mr. Ed Miller called the meeting to order, and was elected Chairman. The following clnbs were represented: East End Gyms Reserves, II. Simons; Riverside Gravs, Frank Larva; Metropolitans, Ed Miller;' James T. Fox team, Kobert T. Smith; Alle gheny Reds, Peter LoebigHoly Ghost Col lege, Robert Lawler; Silver Kings, John Sankcy. After considerable discussion it was decided to organize the League. -The officers elected were: President, Ed Miller; Secretary, Frank Larva; Treasurer, C C Salmon. , There were many views expressed regard ing the number of clubs to be admitted- to the League. Finallv it was agreed that the League" should consist of eight clnbs and that each club pay an entrance fee of $10. it was further agreed that each club keep its own receipts except on holidays, when the net receipts will be equally divided be tween the two teams of each game. After the meeting President Miller said that in all probability the Bleomfield club would be admitted to the League to com plete the circuit. There -will be another meeting held March 1, when the schedule will likely be arranged. It is expected that the League's season will open ,in the early part of May. All local patrons of baseball are in sym pathy with the new organization. In a baseball sense, it is a step in the right di rection, as it will get the younger genera tion of ball players into playing systemat ically. If each young man connected witn it will make up his mind to bear and for bear as mnch as- possible and practice a give-and-take policy all through the little League will get along all right and the public will be glad to help it. NOBLE AND ALC2Y0N EXPELLED. A Long-standing Caso Disposed of by the National Trotting Conrt. New Yonx, Feb. 9. Tnc stallion, Alcrycn, and his owner. Frank L. Xoble, have been finally expelled from membership in the Xattonal Trotting Association. This de cision.was reached by the Board of Review of the association, at its meeting to-day at the Murray Hill Hotel. The board had been In executive session all day. The board after disposing of some prelim inarybu'siness proceeded to the consideration Of the Alcryon case, which had been pending since 1S90. The case originally was part of the Nelson-Alcryon affair, which came np before the Xational Trotting Asso ciation at Buffalo in the spring oriEOO. Both stallions were barred off the tracks because ir crookedness charged durlng-the race at Boston in September previously, but their owners, C. H.TJelson and Frank L. Xohle.took out Injunctions from the Supreme Court of this city enjoining the association from pro ceeding further. Soon after lit. Nelson withdrew-the injunction, and his hore Nel son and himself were expelled the following j'ear. Mr. Xoble continued to fight his case, and it was not until last December that tho iiijununoiitn'us dissolved. At the meeting of the board to-day George G.Robins, the drlverof Alcryon, who is also under suspension, had a hearing. He explained that tho .fault bad been none of his. and his case was continued until the next meeting Of the board in March. Mr. Xclsoirhas been trotting on western tracks, nnd has steadily improved his record since his expulsion. Alcryon now also stands ex pelled. Tho board also considered the motion for the rehearing of the. case of L. A. Davics, of Chicago, who was fined $1,000 dt Lexing ton for alleged dropping of heats with his pacer, Roy Wilkes, and whose winnings were held by the Ken tucky association and turned over to the Xational Trotting Association as part payment on his lefusing to pay the tine. Davics has brought suit in the Cnicago courts to recover the amount and the case is now pending. The board decided that the association had a right to hold back the dues and refused to refund the money. The board will meet again to-morrow, previous to the session of the hi-enuial trotting con gress. HATCHED AT LAST. Kelly and Pllmmer Sign Articles to Fight , With Skin Gloves. New York. Feb. 9.

BIG 0FFEK TO HIKE. Tho Pittsburg Clnb Said to ne "Willing to Give Kelly 87,500. Xew York, Feb. 9. Special. M. J. Kelly claims to have received an offer of $7,500 from the Pittsburg club, and there is a strong impression that if he has received such an offer he should lose no time in clinching a bargain, as such a plum is not likely to ever again drop in his vicinity. Judging from what President Soden re cently ss.id to J. W. Spalding, Kelly will stay in Bostou. Mr. Sodcn said he would not op- Sose Kellv's lelease. but that Conant.and illings thought it best to hang on to Kelly. Foxhall Will Return. New York, Feb..9.6cciaf. Foxhall, the American horso that electrified our English ,and French cousins by winning the Cajsaro witch, Cambridgeshire, and Grand Prix in 1S81, is tobebiought back to America and Vlaced in the stud. Foxhall did not prove as successful a siu: as his racing capabilities warranted, Corstorphino being tho only really great performer sired by the son of King"AIfonso and Jamaica. Lord Roseberry has two or three promising yearlings by Foxhall, one of them, Cratton, an own Di other to Corstorphine. It was rumored that Mr. James R. Keene, who owned Fox hall when he carried everything before him, has bought, or will buy Foxhall for the breeding stud he is auout'to found in Ken tucky. "Winners at Guttenburg. Gcttesbcho, X.

London, Feb. 9. Parliament reassem bled to-day and listened to the reading of the Queen's speech, the contents of which were outlined, in the London letter pub lished in Saturday morning's Dispatch. The speech briefly mentions the agreement reached with the 'United States on the Ber ing Sea question. In the House of Lords, Lord Salisbury said that the absence ot special reference in the Queen's speech to the order and prosperity prevailing in Ire land showed the confidence of the Govern ment in the country's fitness for local self government. The new Duke of Devonshire (Lord Hartington) took his seat among the new members. The chief interest was concentrated in the Houscof Commons, where each new mem ber was roundly cheered as he took his seat These included George Lambert, who in the South Molten division of Devonshire turned a Liberal-Unionist majority of 1,000 into a minority of 1,200, and John Henry Maden, the Gladstoninn wRo was elected to succeed Lord Hartington, Liberal-TJntonisf. "W. L. Jackson, the newly appointed Chief Secre tarv for Ireland, was also loudly cheered. Mr. Balfour gave notice that he would in troduce the Irish local government bill. With. regard to this bill Sir "William Ver non Harcourt (Liberal) said it was a'matter he wished carried ont. If a genuine, honest measure was promoted the opposition would support it, but they could not regard it as local government If only some application of the County" Council system was to be taken as settling the question of self gov ernment. Sir William added that Lord Salisbury's recent speech at Exeter about a Catholic regime in Ireland in the event of home rule being granted did not promise well for the liberality of the coming bill. In reply Mr. Balfour said the proposals of the Ministers, granting an extension of local government as well as an education measure to Ireland, would show that the Government had confidence in .a Catholic majority.

Boies, Crittenden and Jest Cleveland in the West. Boom THE EX-PfiESIOENT'S PET PHRASE, "Unnecessarj Taxation Is Unjust Taxation," Heartily Endorsed. WHY SOME DEMOCRATS OPPOSE HILL Denver, Cou, FebD. The eloquence and logio of Western Democracy gushed f forth in an ample and brilliant tide at the banquet tendered by the Greystone Club in h honor of Samnel J. Tildcn's birthday. Never in the history of Colorado was there a more resplendent scene than was wituessed by the tremendous crowd at the Broadway Theater. At the head of the table sat President Mc Kinley, of the Greystone Club, with Gov ernor' Boies and ex-G'overnor Chittenden in the places of honor upon either hand; then ex-Governor Alva Adams, of Colorado; Hon. J. D. Obryan, of New Mexico; Hon. David Obermyer, of Kansas; Hon. Charles A. Clark, of Iowa; Hon. Robert J. Smith,' ex-President of the Iroquois Club, Chicago; Hon. Georee W. Baker, ex-Governor of Wyoming; Hon. Caldwell Yeainan, of Colo rado, and ex-Governor J. B. Grant, of Colo rado. President McKinley delivered tho address of welcome lor tho "Greystone Club. Hon. Alva Ad.ims, ox-Governor of Coloindo, lol lowed with a lew remarks in answer to tho toast. "Tho West in Politics." The event of the evening was the reply to "1'he.Deinocracy in 1S82," bv Hon. Horace Boies, Governor of Iowa. When Governor Boies arose to speak he was greetfejl with deafening cheers, nnd it ,is some time be fore he could plocccd. Among other things he said: Boies Booms Grover Clevelaid. "In a broad senso the Democratic party must continue to stand as the champion of the personal rights or the individual. Dem ocracy must stand for the indexible rule that between classes, as between individu als, there shall be no distinction of right, no tavor to one at the expense of another, Three years ago a Democratic President aroused the country by his declaration that 'unnecessary taxation is unjust taxation,' and by that declaration incorporated into tho political creed of his followers, as ono of its cardinal principles, to remain I hope for ever, tho doctrine that the rightful power of this Government to levy assessments, direct or indirect, is limited to its necessities lor revenue only. During Governor Boies' speech he was frequentlycheered.nndatits conclusion the applause was immense. Governor Crittenden's reply to the toast "Missouri Ever Faithful." created a marked impression. It was strong and brave in its utterance and spirit. He advised no abate ment' of zeal for silver during the coming session of Congress, and urged energv and attention in direction of the tariff. Ho de clared himselt a Cleveland man. Senator Vest Score's Hill. .In his letter of regrets, Senator Vest, of Missouri, explained at length why he still supports ex-Piesident Cleveland for a sec ond term, instead of Senator Hill: Satd the writer: "There has recently appeared a statement that I favored Governor Hill; and, without any disposition to thrust my opinions upon the public as to matters not within the im mediate sphere or my official duties, justice to tho Democratic partyandmyself demands a franK expression of my views. In private conversations" I have often said, and now stato publicly, that I have never sympa thized with those who have denounced David B.. HilL as a traitor, and who have been able to see any good in his character or achievements. Ho has my unqualified ad miration and gratitude for much that he has done. I have also said that recent events had satisfied me that Cleveland could not carry the Xew York delegation to the next Democratic Xational Convention, and that Hill could do with it as he' pleased. From this has originated the report to which I hare alluded. I have never wavered in mv earnest desire for the election of Mr. Cleve land, although recent events have satisfied me-that the cIiance3for his nomination are greatly diminished. "Why Hn Supports Grover. "The same reasons which caused me to earnestly hope that Mills would be elected Speaker lead me to support Mr. Cleveland, for I believe that any retreat from tho ad vanced position of the party on tariff re form, and any cessation of an aggressive war upon the. McKinley act, will result in overwhelming disaster. My support of Mr. Cleveland is simply because of his rep resentative character as the foremost ex ponent of tariff, relorm. My personal rela tions with Mr. Gorman, who is prominentiy mentioned for the Democratic nomination, are exceedingly pleasant, and no one knows better than myself his services during the last Congress in defeating the force btl'. I would not pluck one laurel from his brows but he does not represent the great cause of tariff reform." W. C. P. Breckinridge, of Kentucky, wrote: "If it were possible I would accept the invi tation to bo with tlie 'Greystone' Club nt its banquet. Its name recalls the condition of the Democratic party in -ISSO our mistake during that yearand our consequent defeat. Our present condition is curiously similar to what it was then, and the impending dan ger may, be made actual by a similar mis take." Tilden Is Cleveland's Patron Saint. Ex-President Cleveland sent a letter of re gret, in which he said: "I am not sure that this acknowledgment and the expression of my regret that I am unable to accept your invitation will reach you before the evening fixed for the banquet; but I cannot refrain lrom the attempt to in dicato to those who may be present my satisfaction in being remembered in the selection or your guests. "This is a most excellent and appropriate time to recall the virtues and attributes of Samuel J. Tilden, tho latest great leader of the Democracy of the land. In these days of our party many remember with extreme profit his pure putiiotlsm. his ambition per meated with a desiio for the welfaro of his lellow-countrymen. his splendid organizing ability stimulated by his lovo of coun try and untainted with ignoble motives, his unyielding resistance to all that was undemocratic and unsafe, and his stub born insistence upon everything which had the clear sanction of party principles. These characteristics, combined with his love for the people and bis unfaltering trust In their intelligence and fair mindedness, made him a great Democrat, and we cannot go amiss If we accept him as our political example. "I hope tho banquet contemplated by your club will be an occasion full of invigoration to those ho In the celebration of the 9th of February demonstrate their devotion to the political honesty and sincerity which, char acterized Samuel J. Tilden, nnd yiat those who are fortunate enough to participate will see plainer than ever their duty ana mission in resistance within their party to all that is not aafely and surely in accord with 'Demo cratic doctrine, and in the bold advocacy at all times and in nil places of the saving qualities of the true Democratic faith." rittsburgers lp New York.

HAVE YOU THE GRIPPE? Many People Have Jt and Do Not Enow It. How to Becognlze tho Symptoms and Hoir to Treat them. Hundreds of people have the Grippe who do not know it. Not necessarily the final stages, but the first stages. They feel pains in the head, and a bad taste In the mouth, got tired and despondent, have chilly sensa tions, limbs and muscles ache. In some cases these things are overlooked. In most cases perhaps they areMonsldered simply a slight cold. In nearly every case they Indicate the coming of Grippe. There Is but one thlng.to do when 'these symptoms appear, and that is to take prompt and vigorous measures, to fortify nature to repel the enemy. A little well directed effort at Just the right time will accomplish very much more than labored efforts afterwards. There is but one thing to be done, and that is to uso a pure stimulant, something that, will promptly arrest, and in no way injure something endorsed by scientists, recom mended by physicians, uud popular becanse so efficient Duffy's Pure Malt whiskey. Two years ago, and last year when the Grippe was raging, this was the standard remedy used, aud recommended by the profession. It did more to prevent the Grippe than all other known or recommended remedies. It preserved many peoDle In health who would otherwlso havo been grievously sick, per haps even worse. It is as efficient to-day as ever. It should be borne in mind that other so called whiskies may not bo so efficient, and If any dealer asserts that such whiskies are the same, distrust him at once. There is but one medicinal whiskey", and that Is I Duff's Pure Malt. JaSl-WED - -Latest U. S. Gov't Report. Powder XEW A Common-Sense Remedy.
