SATURDAY, JULY 8, 1893.

THE gold coinage in the United States in 1879 was $278,310,126 at the beginning of the current year it was $649,788,000. That of Great Britain ia only $550,000,000 and that of Germany 8600,000,000

THE Kansas City Journal says: •'When tariff reform gets fully under headway labor troubles' will become more numerous than they have ever been. Workingmen will be striking for a return to McKinley schedules.

GROVER has at last landed a goggleeye in the person of Senator Voorhees, who cornea out squarely for an immediate and unditional repeal of the silver purchasing act. Patronage caught the Senator with which Grover's hook was baited.

IF, as Democratic organs assert, "onehalf of the pensioners are frauds," there ought to be no difficulty in pointing them out. Pensioners are known in eyery community, and the department at Washington has its spies out now in every county of every State. Name the frauds.

AN important omission has been made by the Democratic journals thus far this week. The announcement is overdue. And that is that Hon. John Gilbert Shanklin, the versatile editor of the Evansville Co wrier, will be provided for with a soft, fat popition—one with a big salary and no work. Gil must not get lost in the shuffle.

THE JOURNAJJ congratulates Wm. A Huff on his prospective appointment as one of the watches of the treasury. It is to be hoped that his acceptance of this position will not in the least obscure the one beBt act of his life, and that was when he voted for Benjamin Harrison for President, for the reason, as he stated, that he was not in sympathy with Grover's views on the pension question.

WHATEVER may be the grievance of the students at the State Normal School they are guilty of insubordination. Refusing to submit to the powers that be and to all lawful rules places them in the position of intractable pupils. And these intractables are to become the teachers of the rising generation! Can they expect to teach discipline in the common schools when they themselves refuse to be taught discipline? These students are incorrigibles and should be sent to PlainSeld. It is a Reform School they need, and not a Normal School.

THE Star is still firing its paper wadB at Congressman Brookshire because he does not make a change of postmasters in this city, We apprehend that the Congressman has done all that could be done in the matter, as doubtless he is just as anxious for a change as the Star possibly can be. The dispatches from Washington yesterday would seem to confirm this view of the situation. It was stated that Democratic Congress' men are making a fuss because Postmaster General Bissell persists in considering the four years of service of Presidential postmasters to date from their confirmation by the Senate, and not from the date of their taking possession of their offices under the temporary commissions. On all

BideB

the Con­

gressmen can be heard entering their protests against such a rule of the heavy Postmaster General.

JOHN P. ATGELD, the Anarchist Gov ernor of Illinois, iB being roasted on every hand by the newspapers for the manner in which he bestowed pardons an hia brethren serving terms in the penitentiary for murder, with here and there an exception. Among the ex ceptions is the Frankfort Crescent, which endeavors to excuse him on the grounds that his act was a measure of mercy.

This is just exactly what he did not do, He used 17,000 words in an effort to Bhow that it was an act of justice, and went out of his way to most scandalously and most shamefully abuse and excoriate the offioers who made the arrests, the prosecuting attorney, the judge of the trial oourt, the judges of the Supreme Oourt| both of the State and the

United Seates, and to denounce in unmeasured terms everybody that had anything to do with their conviction and punishment. But Atgeld is a Dem ocrat as well as an Anarchist and the Crescent imagines it is called upon to excuse and palliate the actions of every official who has a Democratic label.

ONE A MINUTE.

The disability act of 1890 placed many pensioners on the rolls. Forty-seven per cent, of the pensioners now on the rolls were placed thereon by that act. The Board of Revision of the Pension Office, which was constituted by Commissioner Lochren for the purpose of "purging the rolls," takes up one case a minute and disposes of it, rejecting nine out of every ten cases examined, so at that rate they will, when they have completed their "purging," have cut from the pension rolls nine-tenths of the fortyseven per cent, which was added to the rolls by the disability pension act of 1890. That the Board of Revision disposes of one pension case a minute and purges nine out of every ten examined is an evidence of the Democratic reform. The pension administration under the young man from Georgia, the Secretary of the Interior, has set out to reduce the pension payments by $18,000,000, not seeking to do by any accurate examination, but by such and such a proportion in each section, each examiner being required to make up his proportion of the reduction. In other words, these reductions are made proportionately, and not necessarily by reason of any errors in the cases. It is not an administration of justice but of alleged reform that young Mr. Secretary of the Interior Smith is managing in an Administration in which he is seeking to make record as an economist.

AT THE purchasing price which the Government bought silver and paid for it in legal tender treasury notes, as compared with the present market price of the white metal the nation has probably lost twelve million dollars. To say that the loss of this twelve millions is the cause of the existing depression of business, the failure of banks, the closing of factories and the general wreck of values is simply an absurdity. The repeal of the Sherman law would not restore confidence and bring a return of prosperity. The primary and potent cause of the stagnation, depression and apprehension which haB settled upon the country is the dark shadow of an assured assault upon our industrial system which comes as the penalty of Democratic triumph. Here is the real change which has been wrought. The Democratic menace of overturning our protective system has checked enterprise, shriveled production, weakened credit and created stringency. Let the people bear this fact in mind.

THE attention of the Star is directed to the showing made by the Washington correspondent of the Indianapolis Sentinel concerning the number of changes of postmasters in Indiuna since the fourth of. March. The exhibit is not to the disadvantage of Congressman Brookehire so far as industry and influence are concerned. Brookshire leads all the Indiana delegation with eighty Republican scalps dangling in his belt, while Cooper comeB next with seventy-nine, and Bretz follows with seventy-eight. The remaining districts run from sixty-six down to twenty. It will be seen therefore that the Star haB been doing its Congressman a great injustice in its attacks upon him for alleged masterly inactivity. What Btrange times we have fallen upon that a Republican newspaper must come to the rescue of a Democratic Congressman against the assaults of a Democratic newspaper. THE JOURNAL'S only desire is to see fair play.

THE civil service examinations are open to all reputable citizens who may desire to enter the postal service, without regard to their political affiliations. All Buch citizens, whether Democrats or Republicans, or neither, are invited to apply. They shall be examined, graded, and certified with entire impartiality, and wholly without regard to their political viewB, or to any consideration save their efficiency, as shown by the grades they obtain in the examination. For application blanks, full instructions, and information relative to the dutieB and salaries of the diffent positions, apply at the postoffice to the secretary of the board. The next examination in this city will be held August 5. Applicants between the ages of 21 and 45 are eligible for the position of carriei

A ONE-LEGGED Confederate in the land office at Washington by the powers conferred upon him dismissed in one day sixty clerks, and among them two one legged Union veterans. He said these were "any number of one-legged Confederates without pensions ready to take their plaoes."

SECRETARY CARLISLE gives notice that he will have free wool within six months Mutton will be cheap. Australian wool growers oan kill off American sheep and then put the prices to suit themselves.

ROBE? is now asking for the State military encampment. It should have it, and that right soon. If necessary the Governor should assume command in person.

A SPECIAL SESSION OF CONGRESS. The President has issued a proclamation convening Congress in Extra Session on August 7, the purpose of which is to improve the financial situation by repealing the silver purchasing act. If Mr. Cleveland really believes that the Sherman Act is an "unwise law" and that it is the cause of the "distrust and apprehension" which pervade financial canters he haB performed nothing but his duty. After the Sherman law has been repealed the country will awaken to the fact that the patient has been treated for the wrong disease. The trouble lies in the industrial situation. The primary cause is the threat which hangs over our manufacturing enterprises that the protective policy to which their business has been adjusted will be torn up root and branch. This threat and uncertainty as to the future tariff policy have done more to "cripple our merchants, stopB the wheels of manufactures, bring distress and privation to our farmers and withhold from our workingmen the wages of labor" than any silver legislation that has been enacted. If CongreBB, when it meets, assures the country by resolution that there will be no meddling with the present tariff, it will do more to restore confidence and set the wheels of industry moving than simply a repeal of the silver purchasing act.

THE Toledo Commercial commenting on the wool situation, says: Practically a great industry of the United States is destroyed. There has been as yet no change in the laws, but the fears of a change by a Democratic administration of the government has annihilated the wool-growing industry of the country. Once there was a large wool market in this city. It no longer exists. There is practically no sale for that once valuable product. But while a great industry of the country has been annihilated, and while England is rejoicing because of the destruction of the woolgrowing industry of the United States, the Democratic promise that there should be cheap^ clothing for the people is not realized. We give to the English provinces a monopoly of the wool-grow-ing business, and at the same time we must continue to pay for the clothing we wear as high prices as ever.

IN 1873 the world's output of gold was $96,200,000, while the output of silver was only $81,800,000. In 1891 the world's total gold product only $126,159,000, while

itB

silver pro­

duct had increased to $186,174,000. Thus we see that while the gold of the world exeeded the silver in 1873 by $14,400,000 the silver in 1891 exceeded the gold by some $60,000,000. In eighteen years gold production has increased 31 per cent, and silver production has increesed 128 per cent. These facts Bhow the causes for the cheapening of the white metal in the markets of the world. The downward tendency of silver has been simply in obedience to the inexorable law of supply and demand.

THERE are two separate exhibits of American tin plate being manufactured at the World's Fair, and yet less than a year ago Democrats were traveling all over the country saying that no tin plate was manufactured in the United States.

CONGRESS will soon be in session but unless the Reed rules are adopted the country can hope for nothing to be accomplished. This will probably be done as it requires about two years for Democrats to catch up with the Republican procession.

GENERAL LEW WALLACE'S novel, "The Prince of India," 1B nearly ready for publication. The catastrophe of the book is the assault and sack of Constantinople in 1452, and the entry of Mohammed II. into Sancta Sophia.

In 1880 the total product of American woolen mills wae worth $267,259,913. In 1890 it had grown to $337,708,524. This is an industry which the free traders have especially marked for slaughter.

A LARGE amount of pipe and brick sewers has been recommended by the common council of South Bend. One Bewer will be about a mile long.

THE people who voted for a "change" are now wishing they hadn't.

4 Good Reason For Living. "Shelives to loveand loves to live. She loves to live because she lives to love." Many think it a sin to be sick being so one cannot bestow their affections on others as the Creator intended being so, it certainly is a duty to cure yourself. Most women these days need an invigoratisg tonic. Worn-out teachers, "shop girls." dressmakers, milliners, and those subject to tiresome labor, have found a boon in Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. It is a soothing and strengthening neryine, inducing refreshing sleep relieves despondency and restores to lull use all the appetites and uflections of one's nature, It is sold by druggists under a guarantee from its makers that it will, in every case, give satisfaction, or nrice ($1) will tw promptly refunded.

MINISTER GRAY WAS "TOO BUSY." E. O. C. Ord Post, 100, held Memorial services at the American Cemetery in Mexico City, Mexico, May 30. There was a fall attendance of the members of the Post who were in the city, as well as many visiting comrades, together with a large number of citizens. The music furnished by the Sappers and Miners Band, most graciously and kindly offered by the Mexican authorities, was fine. "America," "Hail Columbia," and other patriotic American airs were beautifully rendered, and the floral decorations were of the most elegant variety, and were strewn in great profusion. Comrade Alexander, Chaplain of the Post, delivered an address, which touched the hearts of all present, the tears trickling down the faces of the old veterans, and made all feel the intensity of comradeship which exists among them, and all those who truly love the old flag. Consul-General Thomas T. Crittenden made a short address. Commander Bush sends to the National Tribune this letter which ahows up Minister Gray in his true light:

U. S. Minister Isaac P, Gray, although cordially invited by the Commander to be present and deliver an address, 1 not onlv declined, but preferred to spend the entire morning at the opposite side of the city, at Pinon baths, onjoying liimsell with friends. Was it expecting too much that an ex-soldier and the representative of our great country in a foreign land should honor his country that keeps him, by not "being too busy" to keep its legal National holidays, a holiday commemorative of deeds that made it possible that there be a place for such a Minister to occupy? Is it to be understood by the Mexican people and Mexican Government, by the President of this Republic, who has always treated the Memorial Day and services with such uniform respect and consideration, that by the absence of the Minister on Memorial Day, although made by a law of Congress a National day, is of no consequence? This is certainly the inevitable conclusion to which they will come, President Diaz is not'too busy' on each recurring Spring to lay aside the public cares of office for half a day and with his own hands garland with flowers the tomb of the immortal Juarez and other brave patriots whose memories this nation of a right delight to honor. All nations cherish and respect the memories of their patriotic dead it Is to be hoped that the Indifference of our Minister will not be considered an example of the esteem in which our country hold the memory of its dead, those who sacrificed their all for its life.

With Minister Blount at Honolulu refusing to participate in a Fourth of July celebration gotten up by patriotic Amercans on the Islandd and Minister Gray declining to attend Memorial Day exercises at the City of Mexico it shows that, in the lexicon of our foreign ministers they find no such word as patriotism.

Manor Woman, Ghost or Human: We cannot say what will cure ghosts, but many men and many women who look like ghosts rather than human beings, through sickness would regain health and happiness, if they -vould try the virtue of the world-renowned remedy, Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. Torpid liver or "biliousness," impure blood, skin eruptions, scrofulous sores and swellings, consumption (which is scrofula of ttie lungs), all yield to this medicine. It is both tonic and strength restoring, aud alternative or blood-cleansing.

Thrashed a Man Twice Ills Size. The other day a small, harmless looking man entered a New York street car and accidently trod on the toes of a big sixfooter. He apologized, but the six-footer was't satisfied. He talked for some time and finally invited the little man to leave the car and settle the matter on the sidewalk. Greatly to his astonishment the latter accepted. Those who witnessed the contest say that it didn't last long, but that the big fellow had to be carried home in an ambulance, while his diminutive an tagoni3t walked away with a cheerful smile. And so it is with Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. They're not half so big as most of their rivals, but they do their work quietly and thoroughly. For sickheadache, biliousness, constipation, dyspepsia, etc., there is nothing like them. They are the only liver pills absolutely sold on trial. Your money back, if they don't give satisfaction.
