Tn ie are tbe sure enoajrh " good old
r em ratic times" promised the country
if Cleveland was elected.
"Snx kino banks" are not very safe in
stitutions to keep money in ; the country
is overrun with tram and thieves.
Dem x kath- Congressmen who for the
past ?r have been howling for a chance
to knock out the Sherman law are cow
sparring fur time.
Wats the Tresi'lent in his message re
fers to the BO-calieJ .-'1:ernian bill as "the
act framed as a compromise to prevent
worse legislation" he pives a brain clout
to the demagogues of his own party w ho
have denounced as false a similar state
ment made by Senator Sherman.
When-Mr. Cleveland in his niewfiae
asserts that " so larje a majority of the
people, as shown by their suffrage, le--rve
and expei't" tari.T reform, he is
ftrinpely oblivious of tLe fact that he
Jid net receiy majority of the votes
-ast last Xoveiuber, and therefore that
"a msjirity assh.jwn by their suffrages
V not desire and expect so-called tar
ifl" re L: riu. " as set firth in the Democratic
platform.
J..jsany intelliireiit br.finefs man im
agine that while every productive indus
try in the country is kept in a state .f
anxiety and fear retarding w bat the tar
ill shall be, and w ith the declaration of
the Iaio ratic platform that all protec
tive duties are unconstitutional and there
fore must le wiped out, stoutly adhered
to by the leaders of the party in ;ocr,
that confidence can be restored to ti e
country? If so, he has the faith that
would remove mountains.
There was a famine for small bills
throughout the country last week. Peo
ple who Lad pay rolls at factories cr
railroads to meet paid as high as four and
rive per cenL for smail bank bills, where
with to pay their hands. The govern
ment printing presses, howevtr, weie
iept busy, turning out over a million f
dollars per day, whic h w ere paid out fi r
bonds and government securities and by
Satuiday the demand was relieved and
virtually ceased. Of course while it last
ed it was a harvest for the brokers ar.d
speculators who had accumulated email
bills.
Tiitiasaeis squarely joined in Ohio.
On Thursday last the Democrats nomi
nated as their candidate for Governor
Law rente T. Nel, who is the author of
the free trade plank in the Democratic
National platform. Governor McKinlcy,
as the world knows, stands for protection
to American industry. The issue is thus
eqnarely joined between Protection and
Free-trade, and the result of the battle
will be eagerly watched by the entire
eountry. All the power and arts and in
fluence of the free trade Democracy
throughout the Cnion will be brought to
bear in favor of Keal, and the contest
will as nine national importance. We
have an abiding faith in McKiniey and
the cause of the people, and believe that
be w ill win hands down.
Ix the House the two wings of the
Democratic party, on Friday last, airreed
upon a mode of procedure on the eilver
bill. It was agreed that the free silver
men shall first tiave an opportunity to
vote upon free coinage at the present ra
tio of 10 to 1, then upon the ratios from
! up to JO to 1, then if they fail to carry
any of these a vote can be taken upon
the absolute repeal of the present silver
law, but the debate is to continue tip un
til August 2S;h before the final vote is
taken. In adopting tl.U rule of proced
ure the Republicans w ere not considered,
and the previous question beir order
ed and sustained by the Democratic ma
jority, all debate or objections on part of
the Republicans was denied. The time
allowed for debate is to be divided and
controlled by the two lemocratic fac
tions, the Republicans Betting such por
tion ot it as the Democrat may gra
cioulv allow.
The message of the Pre.-ident sent to
the extra. irdinary evasion of Congress oa
its assemblage, Tuesday last, can be sum
marized iu a few words: Repeal the
section of the law that provides for the
cionthly purchase of 4.300,000 ounces of
bilver, and do it quickly This ia the
whole gist of that document. The bal
ance of it is a mere repetition of argu
ments in its favor, with which every in
telligent newspaper reader is familiar.
The President puts the argument tersely
and forcibly, but it contains nothirg
new, and is valuable only as show ing
the Kition he occupies, and an assur
ance to the country that he stands wirii
the Rrpublicin jarty for " honest mon
y." We do not agree with the Presi
dent that our present financial troubles
"are principally chargeable to Congress
""kjoal legislation touching the purchase
"and coinage of silver by the general
u government," but think that while it
may be one of the causes, the main and
moving cause can be traced to the un
certainty regarding future tvriff legisla
tion, and thtrefore deem as unfortunate
at this time his declaration that "the
" vnwk of tariff reform has lost nothing
"of its iuimediate and permanent itu
' porUnee, and must in the near future
"engage the attention of Congress." The
country knows of and fears the threat
med "tinkering with the tariff, " and if
the president Lad reioeaibered that suf
iicient for the day is tl tvil thereof,"
nd refrained from thue pointedly call
ing public attention to the further threat
ened calamity to our industrial and busi
ness interests, it would have further
tended to allay the present financial dis
tress. However, we cordially commend
the Prudent' vigorous derail nd for the
iBircediffle repeal of the law author'z'i-r

WEDNESDAY V"1 16'
CuSi.RSssbis apparently determined
to take to bii'inew very deliberately. It
matters butlittle to our distinguished
representatives what may be the condi
tion rf the country, w hat the necesMliee
of business, what the distress jf the
"common people,' Senatorial precedents
mast not be disturbed nor legislative
rules be amende. L The Senate aloolute
ly wasted the entire cf last w eek and did
nothing, w hile the House, after much
caucussing and bargaining and skirmish
ice, at last agreed upon terrns, and on
Friday actually commenced the discus
sion of the 6ilver question, under an
agreement that the debate is to continue
for two weeks. The situation in this
body is a quetr one. The discussion is
not oo party lines and the unusual spec
tacle is presented of two factions of the
Democracy dividing time, and absolutely
in control of both sides of the question.
The controversy is not between Demo
crate and Republicans but between two
wings of the Democratic party, and as is
usual in family quarrels, is bitter and un
relenting. The Republicans in the House
with one or two possible exceptions,
stand for rejal of the purchasing clause
of the Sherman bill, and ready to vote
for it at any moment Add to their vote
that of the Democrats who agree w ith
them and there is little or no doubt that
they constitute a iiiijority of that body.
In the Senate as in the House the divis
ion is not on party lines and the result is
a matter of grave doubt, but as in the
House the Democrats are in control, and
on the shoulders of that party rests all
the responsibility for the present ruinous
delay. Even should the House corr.e to
a decision after two weeks of discussion,
there is no telling when action will be
had in the Senate, for there is no meth
od under its rules by which discussion
can be ended and a vote be forced.
The real cause of th delay from which
the country will sutler so greatly is to be
found in the jealousies and bi. keringsof
the Democratic leaders. Mont -s of so
called discussion w ill not alter the views
of a single member of titber house and
they are aj well prepared to vote to-day
as they will be at any time in the near
luture. The majority of the st-eecheB
that will be made will merely be for
huncome, and will make no converts;
meanwhile the business of the entire
country must stand slid and suffer, while
meii.bers air their vocabularies.
This untoward state cf affairs must be
mortifying in the extreme to Mr. Cleve
land. This extraordinary session was
convened by Lim for the purpose of dis
posing of this alarming financial ques
tion; hLs views are plainly and succinct
ly set forth iu his message ; the perils of
the situation are d elt upon ; be truth
fully asserts that "this matter rises above
the plane of party politics" and reminds
members of the maxim, "he gives twi.-e
who gives quickly," and yet, with all Lis
newly Hedged honors blooming upon
him, with his vast patronage and power,
w ith Lis party in absolute control of the
government. he Cuds on the very thresh
old of his administration that his advice
is coolly "whistled down the w ind"' by
a majority of his partisans and his lead
ership set at naught. Vias ever Presi
dent before so illy and contemptuously
treated by his friends? Procrastination,
detiauce and threats meet him at every
turn.
Refused an $600 OOO Check.
TLe biirgest ar.d strongest bank in Ameri
ca could not pay ia currency a sum demand
ed on Wednesday by one of the soundest
and btst of its customers, a railroad corpo
ration of world wide fame. The Sew York
Central and liaison River Railroad Compa
ny, wishiDg to send out its pay cars, needed
$. hm. mj in bills and asked the Chemical
National Bank for it. Tue Chemical's o:'.i
cirs would not furnish it.
A more sirikii. illustration of the scarcity
of currency could not be found. The Chem
ical Rar.k will take no man's, firm's or cor
poration's account uu'.ess there is an under
standing that he, th.y or it will kerp with
the bank an average baiai.ee of $10.ooo from

The shares ar Jioo sell, when they
are sold at all, for about $4,iw apic-.e. The
Chemical has a comfortable surplus, pays
something like iliia year on each share in

said:
' We have simply dn lined to the extent

It is unreasonable to expect u to supply so

Mr. Dejw stated that the bank's rtf.isal

How Silver Is Purchased.
Fr.rn the liner Ocean.
It seems to be very difficult for the public
to understand the way the government buys
silver under the Sherman act. The Central
supposition appears to be that the govern
ment loses money on every purcLae to the
extent of the d.fterence in intrinsic value be
tween a gold and a silver dollar. The Pres
ident's message rather favors that idea,
without explicitly maintaining it.
Now the truth is that the government gets
the silver for its value in gold. For ex
ample take the 'a.-t silver purchase made July
111. TLe amount bought was mi ounces
or 103,'tVt,oi) grair.s. It takes only 371 25
grains of pure silver to make a standard
dollar, but the government actually paid
oniy 70 3 rents per ounce, 'l uere are4s-j
grains in aa ounce.
Tbe purchases are made in notes redeema
ble in coin. The holder may demand gold,
but if so the government only paya out gold
foraiiver at cost, figured on a gold ba&ui.
To illustrate, take the total purchase re
quired for each month and the price paid
fur the bullion bought last week (70 3 cents
lr ounce i as the two bases of calculation
aiid we Lave the following result :

A Great City on Fir-
Misseap-li3, Mix., Aug. 13. Two mil
lion dotiais' wurtu, ot projierty went upln
this city t-day in fiinies. Over 2JJ house
are burned acd at least I .') persons are
rendered bonifies.. This ia the record made
by i he destroy ing eimtnt ia the shoil space
of two hours. A kind Providence, and not
the fine department or the fc-eble ellorts of
the owners of threatened property, saved the
greater poitioa of the manufacturing and
residence portions of the East side. Tne fire
bad gained such headway that no human
agency could quench it, and only a change
in tie direction of the wind prevented the
wiping out of the entire district.
It was a little after 1:.TU o'clock when a
watchman saw a small blaze on the river
side of J. B.Clark & Cos. box factory on
the south end of Nicollet island at the head
of St. Anthony Falls. An alarm, quickly
followed by a second and third was turned
in, but by tbe time the department bad ar
rived, the flames; tanned by a furious south
wind, had gained tuch headway that all the
firemen could do was to turn their attention
to adjoining property. Where the fire first
started U a mystery.
A COiTLV sr-AKt-'
While the fire was at iu height, a spark
carried high in the air. alighted on Boom
Island, nearly half a mile above tbe fire on
Nicollet Island. This island is occupied as
a wood yard by tbe lumber firm of Nelson
Tenny Co. No one noticed the spark fall,
but the w hole island was soon ablaze. It
was this spark that caused the greate.t loss.
C,uick!y jumping across the small stretch
of water surrounding the island from the
main land the flames gained a footing in
Melson, Tenney A Co's. lumber yard, where
i here were piled some IO.OjO.Ouu feet of
lumber. The tire fairly walked through this
yard, and into that of E. W. Backus Co.,
adjoining. By thia time it was impossible
to stip it, even had the whole fire depart
ment been on baud. Great embers flew
through the air and started fires many
blocks beyond the places where the firemen
were at work. The f.ames were simply irre
sistible. THE 1IEIIH.ES AtLA.E.
Tie bridges, too, were on lire and there
was nothing to do but to ho; for the best
until some aparatus could make a Uetour
of lime unit and reach the tire.
At 10 o'clock to-night the Kast aide ruins
were still ablaze, but the fire ia under con
trol. Hundreds of people are either the re
c.pier.ts of chaniy, or are sleeping iu the
open air.
Chinese Roasteu Alive.
Sax Francisco, Cal.J Aug. 12. Further
particulars of the burning of the steamer
San Juan elf the Chinese coat were received
here to day. The Spanish steamer San Juan
left Ilor.g KoDg for Manilla wilh a full crew
and all the Chinese that could be stowed
away. Thirty miles oir Darigayos Point tire
was discovered between decks. It soon
spread to loui ca.-s of jtru!euni and then
all hope of saving the ship was abandoned.
Two life-boats were destroyed by the
flames and the others were capsized by
Chinese. Sharks made short work of the;-e,
and in this manner the second engineer.
qtiattermaiter, steward and second olUcer
lost their Uvea.
On the tire being discovered almost all
the Chinese ran up the rigging and other
hich places. As the fire increased in inten
sity the poor wretches dropjei on the deck
and into tee fire. Others jumped overboard
and were devoured by sharks.
These who reached one of the boats filled
it to excess, and the sharks leaped iuto the
air to snatch their prey. The panic was
fearful.
The CLiuese huddled together and filled
the air with their moans. The fore and aft
i art of the burning vessel were full of peo
ple imploring assistance and the central
portion of the vessel was like the crater of a
Volcano. The sharks came in droves aud
Lu ml reds of them could be seen around tbe
blazing steamer.
A seaman succeeded in reaching one of
the overturned boats and righting ber. He
then went to the others aud managed to get
two more of them on an even keel. They
were all kept at a distance and every body
w ho w anted to get into t hem had to run the
gauutiet of sharks. In this way Oil persons
fttiiK-d and reached shore after lti hours of
hard rowing.
They at ence tc'.ographed for assistance,
and the steamer Sau Autonio was sent ouL
When alie reached derelict three Chinese
more dead than aiive were found in the rig
ing. Tue msts were steel. This made
the tola! saved I'd. Including othcers and
crew there were l's3 people on board, so the
sharks and flames must Lave devoured 1S2.
The "Minneapolis."
Philadelphia, Aug. 12. With ceremonies
that were practically a repetition of the ob
servances at tLe launching of the commerce
destroyer Co'.uaihia, one year ago, theMin
mappolis, a sister ship, was successfully
s. nt from the ways at Cramp's ship yard
sliortly after 2 3'i o'clock this afternoon.
Oa the former occasion a Vice President of
the I'nited States waa In attendance. in the
person of Levi P. Morton, and to day Vice
I'resident Stevenson occupied a conspicuous
place on the " Launching stand." The
christening was d me by Miss Rizrie M.
Wa?hbuin, the daughter of a Minueso'a
Senator, wilh the customary bottle of
champagne. Irge crowds are a rule at the
launching of every Government vessel at
Cramp's, but the one to-day, which number
ed fully 2 1 ooO, exceeded all previous gath
erings. Tins was due to the bright weather
a id to the fitrt that it wij a half holiday,
livery point of vantage in the ship yard and
on the a 'joining property was occupied, to
s.iy nothing of the masses who from all
kinds oi crafts saw the vessel take her initial
plunyc. The invited guests numbered sev
eral hundred, the majority of whom came
on a special train from Washington, which
the Cramps plal at the disposal of the
Secretary of the Navy. The Minneapolis is
the eleventh war ship of the new navy be
gincitig with the duuble-turrvted monitor
Terror, which was launched in list, to have
been launched by this tirra. When the bat
tleship Iowa and the cruiser Brooklyn shall
have been completed, both ships now being
oa the ways, Cramp's shipyard will be clear
of Government vessels.
Taking His Wife to Chicago on a
Wheelbarrow.
Jaxesville, Wis., August 10. The peo
ple living ou the outskirts of this place wera
much a-tcnished and amused yesterday to
see a man and woman going through the
street in a novel fashion. Tbe woman waa
perched on a wheelbarrow which the man
was poshing ahead with a grim determina
tion to arrive at their destination in time.
This destination was Chicago and the two
had made up tbeir minds to see tbe great
Fair in some way. Tbe couple is Mr. and
lire. Bobscbyelic, of this county. They are
well to-do people, owniiig a good farm in
this vicinity. It sems that last year Mr.
Itobschjeilegot behind with bis wheat crop,
owirg to the simultaneous leaving of bis
laborers because of the poor fare provided
for them, which they dfclared not sutlicient
for their subsistence, anl these boycotted
the farmer so that no other help could be
hired to replace them.
Mrs. Bobschyelle at this point volunteered
to assist her husband in bis work on condi
tion that be would carry ber to the World's
Fair. He consented to this bargain, and the
woman turned in and helped Lira harvest
the crop. Hut Bubschyelle's miserliness
made him try to repudiate the agreement,
and on Mrs. Bobschyelle insisting on bii
keeping to it, be has taken this method of
carrying her to the Fair, but the plucky lit
tle woman did not cive cp as be exrected
her to do, and says be will have to wh.l
ber every fool of the w ay. She reckons dp
netting iu Chicago in about ten days or twt
weeks. Mrs. Ilobtchyelle weighs 170 pounds,

A Radical Tariff Reformer Named
for Governor of Ohio.
Oolcmrcs, O, Aug. M. (jurrence T.
Neat, tbe man who played the sharp trick
on President Cleveland and secured the
adoption cf a radical plonk on the tariff last
year at Chicago, was nominated for Govern
or of Ohio by tbe iHrniocraii to-day by ac
clamation. There were very few speeches
and they were very short, and at noon the
convention was ready to ballot.
The full ticket is ax follow;
THE TICKaT CHOSItf.
Governor LA W RENTE T. NEAR, of
Chillicothe.
Lieut. Gov. CO u. W. A. TAYLOR, of
Columbus.
Treasurer. B. C. BLACKBURN, of
Coshocton.
Atty. Gen. JOHN P. BAILEY, ofPnt
man county.
Member Board of Public Works L0UI3
D. WILHELM, of Akron.
Food and Dairy Commissioner P. H.
McKEOWN of Cincinnati.
The nomination of Lawrence T. Neal for
Governor is regarded as a blow to the Ad
ministration. Not that Neal iiertonally an
tagonizes President Cleveland, but bis sup
porters were not of the Admistration follow
ing, while his opponents were.
Neal is not in accord with Cleveland on
tbe tariff, and on the financial question he
has never expressed himself fully. Tbe
most definite declaration Neal has yet made
was in an interview last night in which
be said : ' I am a Democrat and stand on
the Chicago platform." Neal was the author
of tbe tariff plank and is in harmony with
it, but on the silver plank in that structure
be has not yet been beard from definitely.
Neal is a man of high standing at borne and
is well thought of by Democrats throughout
Ohio. He is a fine campaiga orator.
More Forcible Than Elegant.
Wasiii!(.tos, August 11. Mr. Simpson,
oi Kansas, hn a name for the uncondition
al repral DeF.orra's which he is fond of us
ing. His language is not always choice, but
is generally forcible. He calls them " pie
bellied hypocrites."
" Not one of them," he said yesterday,
"believes in unconditional reeal. Their
platform calls for bi-metalli.-.m, and they
know the President's message is nothing
more nor lees than a plea for gold. But
they will not say so and they will not vote
so while they can press their stomachs
against the pieoounter and swallow until their
ears ring. There was some talk last spring
of tbe President using the patronage club to
force members into his way of thinking.
With this class of congressmen he does not
have to use it. It is sutlicient for them to
know that it is hanging againt the wall in
bis room. Like timorous school boys who
fear the switch hidden in the master's desk,
they rush to anticipate the wishes of a man
who has never harmed them, and possibly
never would. - To them the ground trembles
when the President walks; then-is thunder
in his sneeze."
A Constable's Sad Mistake.
Sceanton, Pa., Aug. 10. A Great Bend,
Pa., special says : Last night at 11 o'clock,
Assistant Yard Master Fiynn, of the Dela
ware, Lackawanna and Western railroad,
was shot by the town constable and fatally
wounded. Two bullets entered bis body
just below the heart. Flynn and another
employe were looking for a burglar who had
been detected robbing a shoe store near tbe
railroad and who had made his escape by
running among some cars close by. The
constable, who waa aiso hunting for the
burglar, soon afterward appeared at the cais
and seeing the foms of Flynn and bis com
panion called upon them to surrender think
ing that he had discovered the robber. Re
ceiving no immediate answer the constable
began to tire and Flynn fell to the ground
mortally wounded before the mistake was
discovered.
The Fair May Continue.
A Washington special says : The proo
sition 1 1 keep open the Columbian World's
exposition throughout the summer of 1S:4,
found its wsy to Washington previous to the
opening of congress, but it had not been
suggested to any memburs of tbe Illinois
delegation. Senator Palmer said he could
not ta.k intelligently upon a proposition
concerning which he knew ab$oiutly noth
ing. Senator Cullom said he bad heard such a
suggestion made in Chicago, but had noth
ing to say beyond the fact that he would sup
port any measure within rexsin which the
various boards of the Fair and tbe pe!e of
Chicago might desire. Many members of
connn ss favor keeping the Fair open for
another year.
Wandered for a Month.
Cestes. HotnoE. N. 11 Aug. 13. A man
who was berrying found Mrs. Joseph Risson
this afternoon on the north aide ofR-d
Mountain, fire miles from ber home. She
had been aivay 2i days, and during her war.,
deringn bad not been near any bouse or
had anything to eat but berries. She Lad
beeu out in some of the most severe show
ers seeu in this vicinity for years and bad
but very little clothing about Ler. When
found she was helpless and at quite a dis

She was taken to the house of Mr. Bragg,
from whence Mr. Bisson brought ber home.
Dr. L. B. Morrill was called and he pro
counced her inssne and in a very critical
condition. Their is but little hope of her
recovery.
Aliens going Home.
PuiLAr.ELPiin. Aug. 13. An unexpected
exodus of foreign laborers, principally
Italians and Poles, set into this city about a
month ago and is now at its height. Tbe
cause is undoubtedly the inability of these
fore-gners to obtain employment. Over a
month ago, when the dullness in labor
circles first became noticeable, the exodus
began. The growing tendency on the part
of the contractors to ue American laborers
in preference to foreigners ia as many casra
as possible is in a great measure responsible
for the present condition of things.
