" England Las 400,000 fighting men
reaJj for the Turkish war, on paper.
By act of the Ohio Lejpelatsre a
salute was firod on Monday at the
Stat Ciipitol in honor of the passage
of the silver bill.
The President sent a message to
Congress vetoing the silver bilL The
bill was taken hold of by both
Hoiwes immediately, and in two hours
after it was announced as before Con
press, it was passed by a two-thirds
vte over the President's veto.
The only objection to silver that is
worth a moment's thought, is its
weight Tho opponents of the coin
are making as much out of the ar
gument of weight as they can, and
yet there is not much weight in the
argument They have figured down
pretty closely on the weight of a
CongreSHman's salary. The month's
pay of a Congressman is $117.00,
the weight of which is 25 pounds.
It will take 6trong pockets in trou
sers to hold that weight.
Ir is without proper warrant to
declare tho silver bill a move in the
direction of repudiation. When the
first United States bonds were issued
under tho necessities created by re
bellion, there was one common under
standing in regard to their redemp
tion, and that was that they were to
be redeemed in United States money.
The money of the United States
then was of a double standard, gold
and silver, and in coin of both, or
either gold or silver, it was under
stood that the securities should be
redeemed. Their redemption in gold
exclusively was an after-thought
awakened by the premium that it
reached through the circumstances
attending the war.
A 'Wileesbakbe mas named Beam
ish after trial and conviction in court
at the above named place, for crook
edness in the management of the
funds of the School Board, was sent
to jail last year. Not long 6ince
the friends of Beamish got out a pe
tition asking the State authority to
pardon him. Preachers and other
respectable people in the community
in which Beamish lived signed the
petitions, and they were sent to the
Board of Pardons at Harrisburg,
which after examining the case re
commended a pardon. Governor
Hartranft signed the pardon, and
Beamish is out of jail. Now a certain
cliqne of men are denouncing the
Governor for the release of Beamish.
If people of the community in which
Beamish lived had not petitioned for
h's pardon he would never have been
pardoned. What is right is right.
Let the blame fall where it belongs.
Let it lie at the door of the great
first cause, and when you do that yon
will find that it does not lie at the
door of Governor Hartranft, but at
the door of the people of the home
of Beamish.
If congress Las m lingering spark of
Common sense it will see the (utility of
attempting to pass tbe Tariff bill and
carry on the goyercuseat. The inter
nal revenue Las fallen off since the
meeting of Congress at (be rate of
eighteen millions a year, and the re
ceipts of customs show a proportionate
decrease. Uutil Cougres adjourns no
increase iu thj internal levenua may be
expected, for every man knows that he
is manufacturing at the risk of loosing
Lib entire margin of profit by chaagei
in the lav. Neither will there be anj
more importing than i? absolutely nee
t.-sarj until tbe question of the tariff is
finally decided. JSven tben tbe gov
ernment has gat to lose two per ceut.
because oo merchant will use gold to
pay duties when silver will auswer.
This ot it self will insure a constant de
mand for tbe new coin because there
will not be sufficient for the use of im
porters for several months to come.
In fact tins demand will probably keep
tbe new dollars a fraction above par
until several millions get into circula
tion. .orlh Jlmtrican.
Tbe Coming Dollar

the trade dollar, is of so nearly the
fame sirs as not to bo distinguioLable
from it, either by siz-3 or weight. The

Senator Cooper, of Delaware
County, on tbe Politioal Slate
of Col. A. K. McClure, as Pub
lished in tbe Media "American."
Men who are fond of breaking are,
as a rtrle, just as fotid of waking polit
ical "slates," aud Col. A. K. McCluie,
editor in ebirf of tbe Pbiladelpoia
Times, u uo exception to tbe rale. lie
is rather one of its ornaments, aud,
while skillfui in turning short corners,
is wisely satisfied with half when a
wbole loaf is not within reach. With
that rare skill which bas always char
acterized bis political manoeuvres, be is
now, through correspondence aud edi
tuiialiy, assailing the one whom be be
lieves tbe mofct available candidate for
tbe gubernatorial Domination Colonel
lieury 11. Hoyt, of Lnzerue a nonii
iiittmg which wonld more seriously in
terfere with McClure's slate than any
utber. That slate ran now be read by
careful cbservers. Tbe Timet is a bard
money paper, but its editor ha given
greater encouragement to tbe Green
back Labor organization thai! icy other
mau iu tbe State. He bas poiuted tbe
way for successful political action, and
given aid aud encouragement to all who
woald abandon it as useless tbis with
out committing himself, indeed, while
antagonizing its principles aud tbe
man who tbmks McClure can't do two
such things at the same niouieat is not
conversant with bis powers. Tbe object
in tbas encouraging tbe Greenback
movement is to recure a balance of
power in tbe Legislature tbis for pur
poses further on. So far the s'ate was
working well, but the candidacy of
Hoyt for Governor threatened it, since
his personal strength in Luzerne and
Schuylkill would give those Democratic
strongholds to tbe Republicans reverse-
about six thousand votes aud
probably prevent tbe election of from
fifteen to twenty Greenback Represen
tatives. MeCluse meets tbe new dan
ger in to ways first by pushing An
drew G. Curtin to tbe front of Frank
Hughes as a Green backer, aud covering
the rear of both with Aimstrong, of
Lycomiug. All cf these are cow to be
caudidates for tbe Greenback nomina
tion for Governor and are all to be
whipped in tbe convention save Curtin,
provided no offense is given to the vic
tims, for a quarrel in tbe raiiks of a
third aud minority party will be ruin
ous. McClure will use any of these
ppntleiuen to tbe beet advansape the

to the United States Senate. He
thinks a balance of power encd obtain
ed cau compel this at the hands of tbe
Democratic paaty, and once in position
will bid Kandall, Buekalew, Black and
other Bourbons to staud aside, in con
sideration for his support of Dill. Mc
Clure's friendship fur Curtin will never
die. As a politician be is capable of
warmer friendships, deeper gratitude,
and at the same time more lively hatreds
tban most men. He deceives an ene
my, but never abandons a friend, aud
be has shown tbe industry of a beaver
ir. building and rebuilding, so that bis
old associates may yet Lave a political
bonse in which to dwell with satisfac
tion and honor. If once given the op
portunity to play his hand, McClure
will command tbe situation, but unfor
tunately it is becoming kuown, and
Democratic abnse of Hoyt in advance
of tbe convention will but convince He
publicans of his strength and availa
bility. We sre interested observers of
ths situation, bnt will not venture too
deep in philosophy at tbis time, cur
otj'ict being mure to discsver to others
that which we believe we have discov
ered ourselves, and to let all know tbe
shape of Colonel McClure's "slate."

Economy of a Student.
The Cornell student whose sched

so surprisingly small (total ?1S4.6S,
including SI. 51) for washing, and 34.
OG for board), has looked over his
cash book and found no reason to
qualify his statements. Ho writes to
The Tribune with an air of genuine
ness which carries conviction that he
is telling the truth, and declares that
ho and his chum contrived to reduce
their expenses for food below a dollar
a week. They had potatoes, mntton,
cornmeal graham flour, milk and mo
lasses as the main elements of diet.
Their potatoes were either baked or
boiled, and were served with milk or
flour gravy ; their cornmeal and gra
ham flour, with milk, gave them corn
mush or graham mush ; their mut
ton was boiled or roasted, and some
times it was used in a pot-pie ; and
they had every day either graham
gems, corn bread or biscuit. The
daily allowance for each person was
as follows : one pound mutton (3J
cents); one pound potatoes (2 cents);
one quart milk (5 cents) ; one pound
mush corn or graham flour (2 cts);
molasses, salt, etc. (1 J cents) ; total,
14 cents per day, or 98 cents per
week, or $39.20 per term of forty
weeks. They did not have more than
half the time, as they could not keep
it in warm weather, and hence they
brought down their board bill to $34.

there being no defence the counsel said to
tbe jury : " Gentlemen, there being no de
fence, and we having proved car claims,
there is nothing for yon to do but to ren
der a verdict in our favor. 1 band you a
statemeut of the claim and its amount."
The foreman of the Jury took the paper
and apparently did not know what to do
with it. He looked at it and then at. his
brother jurors. Other jurors then took the
paper, and after scanning it closely looked
at the foreman. They continukd thus gat
ing in a bewildered way at each other until
they were interrupted by an inquiry from
Crier Vail Neida as to whether they had
agreed upon a verdict. At tbis they were
still more bewildered. The Judge kindly
informed them that there was no defence
and that they should 6nd for tbe plaintiff.
Thereupon Mr. Van Neida told tho foreman
to arise, and tben said : Gxntlenieu, have
you agreed upon a verdict " Pure man
"If the man is guilty let him pay tbe
money." Suppressed mirth caused Mr.
Tan Keida'a face to glow like a furnace as
he confidentially informed the Court what
thb verdict was. Instantly the Judge was
seen to stoop, apparently to pick up a piece
of paper which had fallen to the floor, and
when his face was again seen it reflected
the glow ol Van Neida'a, and the corners
of his mouth were seen to twitch convul
sively. Calmly, but with a slightly quiver
ing voice, he more fully instructed tbe jury
as to what was required of them, and they
then rendered a verdict for the plaintiff for
$832.50. Thb case was entitled the ad min
is train of Jamas X. Stanton, deceased vs.
William Jones.
