COMMERCIAL CONGRESS.

DELEGATES FROM TWENTYFOUR STATES MEET. Their Object la to Consider Means of Promoting Business Interests of Their States—Letter from President Harrison. The first Western States Commercial Convention convened at the Coates Opera House, in this city, says a Kansas City, Mo., dispatch, with delegations present from twenty-four states and territories. The convention was called to order by State Senator Kelly, of Kansas. He introduced Rev. Dr. Hayes, who offered a prayer. The convention then proceeded to temporary organizatien. On motion of Governor Francis, of Missouri, Senator Kelly was chosen temporary chairman. In a long speech of acceptance he explained the object of the congress to be the consideration of various questions of peculiar interest to the West and South. Mr. Kelly laid all the blame of agricultural depression upon a too small circulating medium. As a relief he suggested the recoinage of silver; the raising of silver money to the standard of gold. The Hon. John W. Springer, of Illinois, was elected Temporary Secretary. The Chairman then presented Gov. Francis, of Missouri, who welcomed the delegates on behalf of the State. He said that the congress marked a new era in agricultural, commercial and financial history. In the early history of the country such dissension and dissatisfaction as now exists resulted in revolution. The people of the West were now crying for relief, but the manner of relief was sought, not by arms, but by this deliberative congress. Different causes were assigned for the depression of Western interests. Let the cause be what it may, the effect was the same. There was deep-rooted dissatisfaction, and there was unanimous desire that the evil of depression be abolished, and that Western interests be stimulated. Heretofore Federal legislation has been in the interests of the East Congress has been favorable to the creditor class, and the West was a heavy debtor. It was necessary now for the West to stand together, and there were many things that the which should,, b® lunahimous, earnest and continued* Th® West wanted freer trade with Mexico, Canada and South America and ail the countries of the world. The West wanted the Mississippi connected with the grea.t lakes. It wanted improved railways, so that one could step on a vestibule train at. Kansas City and step off : it at 'Buenos Ayres. It wanted a fuller volume of currency. These were things that would relieve the distressfng condition of affairs; and these were things on which the West must act together. L'. D. Wight Thatcher welcomed the db egation bn behalf of the State of Kansas. An adjournment was then taken until 2 O’clock in the afternoon. Upon reassembling letters of regret were read from those who had been given special invitations to attend congress. Among the number was one" from Presidept Harrisdfr,' in which'he regretted his inabilityiotfei present in response to the invitation extended him. He also said: ■ A public dfs<xns*iot»«f M*e conditions affectg agricultural and business arosperity cannot >be helpful. it is oondbcted on broad lines lis hospitable to differences of opinion. The raordinary of production of agriculture Which has taken place in a recent period in by reason of the rapid enlargement' of the area of tillage under the favoring land laws of the United States, very naturally has called ittentfpn tpthe value and, indeed’the'riecesstty of larger ina&etil:l am one of those who believe that a home'market is necessarily .the bast market .fur therproducers, as it measurably anticipates hitil.-in proportion to its nearness, frem.thejßKautipps. of the transportation companies. It tfie MunSr could deliver his. surplus produce to the consumer out of his Wrm wagon, his and his profits would be larger and surer. It seeix s to ms quite pot sibleto<p*tat largely inpreased market for our staple farm products without impairing the home market .oy opening the manufacturing tradesuo ec competition in which foreign producers paying a lower scale of wages would have the advantage. A police that would reduce the number of our peopls engaged in me. chaniftal pur suits or diminisu their ability to purchase food products by reducing wages can not be helpful to those now engaged in agriculture. The farmers insist that the prices of farm products have been too low—below ths point of fair living and fair profits. 1 think so, too, but I venture to remind them that the plea they make involves the concession that things maybe too ChSan. A coat may be too eheap as well as corn. The farmer who claims a good living and .profits for his work should ooncede the same to every other man and women who toils. I look with great confidence to the completion of reciprocal arrangements, especially with the Central and South American states, as furnishing new and large markets for meats, breadstuffs, and an important line of manufactured probably nlbo.epabrape the Consideration of the question of tfie voluaie arid character of our currency. STf&ill not and would not be appropriate for me in-this letter to enter upon any elaborate discussion of these questions. Otie ot two tirtngs-I wilt say,-.and first, I Relieve that every person who thoughtfully considers the question will agree with me upon a proposition which is at the base of all consideration of the currency question: namely, that any dollar, paper or coin, that 1b issued by the United States, must be made and kept in its commercial uses as good as any other dollar. So long as any paper money issued or authorized by the United States Government is accepted in commercial use as the equivalent of the best coined dollar that we issue, and so long as every coined dollar, whether of silver or gold, is assured of an equal value in commercial use there need be no fear as to an excess of money. The more such money the better. But on the other hand, when auy issue of paper or coined dollars is, in buying or selling, rated at less value than other papers of coined dollars, we have passed the limit of safe experiment in finance. If we have dollars of different values, only the poorest will circulate. The farmer and the laborer who are not in hourly touch with the ticker or the telegraph will require, above all other classes of our community, a dollar of full value. Fluctuations and depreciations are always at the first cost of these classes of our community. The banker and the speculator anticipate, discount, and often profit by such fluctuations. It is very easy under the impulse of excitement or the stress of money stringency to fall into the slough of a depreciated or irredeemable currency. It is a very painful and slow business to get out when once in. I have always believed, and do now more than ever believe in bimetalism and favor the fullest use of silver in connection with our currency that is compatible with the maintenance of the parity of the gold and silver dollar in their commercial uses. Nothing, in my judgment, would so much retard the restoration of the free use of silver by the commercial nations of the world as legislation adopted by us that would result in placing thi» country upon a basis of silver monornetalism. The legislation adopted by the first session of the Fifty-first congress, I was assured by leading advocates of free coinage, representatives of the silver States, would promptly and permanently bring silver to 129 per ounce and keep it there. That anticipation has not been realized, and for reasons not yet agreed upon, diminished the demand for silver in China and India.

NINE MEN MEET DEATH.

DISREGARD OF ORDERSCAUSES THE CALAMITY. An Express and a Mail Train Crash Together, Almost In-tantly Killing Both Engineers and AU the Mail Clerks—The Kames. Edward Brown, engineer, Toledo, Ohio. Charles Topliff, engineer. Toledo. Ohio. F. J. Nugent, postal clerk, Toledo, Ohio. Charles Hammill, postal clerk, Elyria, Ohio. F. F. Clemens, postal clerk, Cleveland, Ohio. John J. Bowerfine, postal clerk, Elyria, Ohio. James McKinley, postal clerk, Conneaut. Ohio. C. H. McDowell, postal clerk, Elyria, Ohio. Staley, fireman. These men were instantly sent to eternity by the frightful carelessness of some one—of whom it is not known. At Kipton station, a little place on the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern road, forty miles west of Cleveland, Ohio, the fast mail bound east collided with the Toledo express just as the latter train was about to pull on the siding to let the fast mail pass. The latter was running at full speed, and the force of the collision was so great that both engines, three mail cars and one baggage-car were completely wrecked. None of the passenger cars left the track, and none of the passengers received serious injuries. It was the custom for these two trains to pass at Kipton, the Toledo express taking the side track for the fast mail, which usually went through Kipton without slackening its speed. The Toledo express was a few minutes late, and had just come to a stop at the switch when the fast mail came in sight. There is scarcely any curve at the station, but on one side of the track was a line of freight cars and on the other the station. These might have obstructed the vision of the engineer of the fast mail. He applied the air-brakes when he saw that a coll son was inevitable, but the speed of the tra n was not checked mater ally. The engine of the Toledo express was knocked squa/rely across the track, and that of the fast mail reared in the air, resting on top of the other. The fast mail consisted of three mail cars and two parlor cars, and the Toledo expiess of five coaches and two baggage cars. The first and second ma 1 cars were telescoped and smashed to kindling wood, and the third crashed into the first two and rolled over on the station platform, breaking the windows of the building. The two baggage ears of the Toledo express were knocked from the track, but did not turn over. The force of the collision was so great that of the sixty-foufi revolving-chairs in the two only four remained attached to the floods, all the others being broken and hurled about in confusion. The passengers were thrown to the floors and badly shaken. The passengers of the two trains at once began the work of rescue, and with a corps of physicians from the town ministered to the few who were injured. All but one of the dead were beyond human assistance as soon as the collision occurred. The bodies were all horribly crushed and mutilated, arms and legs being torn off, and the corpses were almost beyond recognition. Charles Topliff, the engineer of the fast mail, remained bravely at his post, and was found deaa with his hand on the throttle. His hands and face were so badly scalded that the blackened flesh dropped from the bones when his body was taken out. The poor postal clerks had not a chance to escape. They were caged like rats, and the telescoping of the car crushed the life out of them without a moment’s warning. When the passengers who were on the fast mail arrived at Cleveland they brought the first authentic account of the wreck, there being no correspondents or other facilities for getting the news from Kipton, which is a mere hamlet. These passengers say that the cars and locomotives were piled in a heap higher than the station. It is difficult to locate the blame fop the accident, as both of the engineers are dead. It is said, however, that the express was ordered to stop at Oberlin, but went on to Kipton, which is six miles farther west, and had not sufficient time to make the side track.

Josh Billings' Philosophy.

How menny snspishus people one meets in this world. If their riozcs waz stuffed with kotton wool they would smell some kind of a fat. Most ov the animiles and insex (az well az the men) liv on each other; but the spider iz the meanest in the whole lot, for they set traps for their viktims, and don’t even bait their traps. What should we do if it wasn’t for the churches? Thare iz plenty ov people who kant worship God, only in a church. If they were out in a field on a Sabbath day, they would at once become lawless, and fall to digging out wookchucks or hunting for bumble-bees’ nests. Give every one you meet, my boy, the time ov day, and haff the road: and if that don’t make him civil, don’t waste enny more fragrance on the c iss. Sum pholks are naturally so kross and krabbid that it is an insult tew them tew ask them tew be polite. Yu might as well ask a dog tew take the krook out ov his tale, and be a gentleman. People worth noticing should never forget that everyth! ig they say and do iz watched by someboddy: and it is equally true that the good things are generally forgot, but the bad ones never. I phully appreshiate the proverb, “that speech iz silv< r. but silence iz golden:” but i must say that sum of the most diskreet phools that i hav ever met hav been those who never \entured an opinyun on enny subjekt. What iz happier tew meet than a good temper? It iz like the sun bi day and the soft harvest moon bi night. There iz a grate deal oz religion in this world that iz like a life preserver—only put on at the moment of extreme danger, and put on then, haff the time, hind side before. ,

Habit Beats the Bishop.

During the session of the Methodist Conference one of the ministers went Into a drug store about dusk on a chilly evening and asked the proprietor for a good, mild cigar. After paying for it ha adgpd: “Is there any place around your store where I can have a quiet smoke? Our Bishop has just been preaching pretty sharply against the use of tobacco, so I don’t want to smoke ’round the house where I am staying, nor out in the street, on account of the bad example I might set. But a mild cigar does rest one so!” The druggist quite agreed with him, and said: “Step behind my prescription counter, sir: you will be unseen there.” Two minutes later another good minister came into the store, bought a mild cigar, and a-ked if he might be permitted to smoke in the store, because: “Our Bishop has just been preaching against smoking,” he exclaimed, almost in the exact words of his predecessor. He also was sent behind the prescription counter. The screen hid the two dominies from sight, but it did not «hut out the peals of laughter which arose when minister number two encountered minister number one.— Boston Gazette, Washington Special.

A Good One by Clev[?]land.

When Grover Cleveland was Governor he was fond of telling humorous stories to illustrate a point. It is said he got off a good thing on a certain ex-Assem-blyman who dropped in to see him about the time tfhe newspapers were exposing the job in the contract for putting in a new ceiling in the Albany Capitol. It appears that all during the days of Boss Tweed this ex-Assemblyman was in the lower house and fought against jobbery and against the “boss. ” Mr. Cleveland was listening to the comments of the exAssemblyman about the substitution of a paper-mache ceiling for an oak one; when, all at once, with a smile on his face, he interupted his visitor thusly: “What is the difference between the Assembly now and when you were a member?” “We were ruled then by a Democratic boss, and now by a Republican boss,” ventured the ex-member. “Oh, no. When you were a member the fraud was on the floor; now it is on the ceiling,” said Mr. Cleveland.

Struggling Up Life's Bugged Hill

With youth, vigor, ambition and an indomitable will to help üb, is no such grievous matter, but tottering down again, afflicted by the ailments which beset old age—our backs bent with lumbago, our elastic muscles and joints stiff and painful, is a woeful piece of business. For the infirmities which the decline of life too often brings, Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters is a beneficent source of relief, a mitigating solace always to be depended upon. No regulating tonic evolved by botanic medical discovery is so well calculated, so thoroughly able, but without undue stimulative effect, to belu the aged, the delicate and the convalescent—to resuscitate the vitality of a frame which time and physical decline have impaired as this. Kidney and bladder weakness and disorder, costiveness, malarial complaints, dyspepsia and rheumatism are among the bodily afflictions which this sterling recuperant and regulator overcomes.

Leadville, Col., is 10,200 feet above the sea. But the highest elevation, it is said, at which any regularly inhabited dwelling is found is that of a Buddhist monastery in Thibet —16,C0) feet.

Cities Born In a Week.

Some idea of the immense size of London may be gathered from the fact that there were registered, during the week ending Jan. 24, 2,789 births and 2,212 deaths. The births were 123 below and the deaths 168. above the average for the last ten years, says the London Globe. Here we have people enough born into the world in one week to constitute a “city” in the ambitious phraseology of Western English, and enough deaths in a time of profound peace to render memorable a battle-field. But the most striking fact in this table is that not one of all the 2,212 died of small-pox. It is not a little strange that, with so grand a record to show, there is to be found a considerable number of really able and well-informed people opposed to vaccination. -
