u!ar expenses and the constantly increasing appropriations by Congress for various enterprises. In other words, after the losses by additions to the free list and the saving by sugar duties and refusal to pay bounties wo must provide for about one hundred million dollars more revenue pe.r year. If we do we will not only have deficiencies, even under the most rigid economy, but we will have to stop improvements in our navy, upon rivers and harbors, at army posts, upon federal buildings and in a thousand other directions. Congress will have to say by nonaction that the country and the people have attained their growth. The only way out of th dilemma, in the minds of many Democrats, is via the internal revenue system. The average low-tariff man will ask why the increase of revenues cannot be made by simply carrying out the pledges of the Democratic platform: by lowering the duties upon manufactures so as to augment imports? The answer 13 because the Democrats in Congress have been given to understand that any radical reduction of duties upon articles manufactured successfully in this country and that covers all of the material lists will result in the total failure of any effort to revise the tariff. The majority in Congress know that the Democrats in the Senate, the majority, will have to yield to the demands of the Republican minority that the protection for American manufactures be continued: otherwise they will defeat any kind of a tariff bill. It has become plain during the .discussion of the Fllver repeal bill that the majority cannot rule the Senate. So it becomes necessary, in a large measure, to not ruffle the feeling of the Republican protectionists if a tariff bill is to become law by act of this Congress. The Republicans in the Senate would far prefer to have the Democrats increase the duty on whisky, spirits generally, and malt liquors, than to lower duties on manufactured articles. It has been figured by an expert that an increase of tax upon distilled spirits from SO cents to $1.C0 per gallon, malt liquors from $1 to fl.28 per barrel, on tobacco from 6 to 9 cents per pound, and a corresponding increase upon cigars and cigarettes, would increase the annual revenues over 5S6.O0O.CXJO. This, with the increase in exports under certain lower duties, would be sufficient, it 13 held, to enable the retention of duties on our principal manufactures. There has been a hesitai.cy upon the part of the Democrats to announce their inability to "properly revise the tariff and be compelled to come back to David A. Wells's original proposition to Increase internal revenues, but they are about ready to make the acknowledgment. WAVGII OX PENSIONS.

Methods of Smith nnd Lochren Criticised ly the Jndge. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WASHINGTON. Oct 19. "I have no idea that thi3 Congress will pass any pension bills, excepting possibly a very few private measures which will be so palpably meritorious that the Democratic majority will not dare to refuse action," said Representative Waugh, of the Ninth Indiana district, to the Journal correspondent today. Judge Waugh is very indignant over the refusal of the House committee on invalid pensions to take up for consideration any of the hundreds of bijls before it. He believes that Chairman Martin must be acting under a general understanding or instructions from the Interior Department that there shall be no pension legislation in thi3 Congress. Judge Waugh continued: "So far, not a single bill has been reported from the invalid pensions committee, and I really don't know that the committee has had a formal business meeting. I intend, soon as opportunity is ortereu, to introduce? a resolution directing the Secretary of the Interior or Commissioner of Pensions to furnish all pensioners with a copy of the instructions given for the investigation of their pensions. I believe that when a pensioner is pjaced upon the list of suspects, and an order is issued for investigation, that he should be notified of the fact and also of what there is about his pension that is suspicious. I don't believe in this thing of dropping pensioners from the rolls upon mere rumors or slanderous statements, nor do I believe that it is Just to a pensioner to drop him from the rolls or investigata him without . his knowing vhat the charges are. If this pension business is to be conducted honestly and fairly no harm can come of a full knowledge of what is being done. I don't believe any one should be convicted without knowing the alleged offense committed. It is wrong to convict one and drop him from the rolls without giving him any chance to defend himself." a GOLD AND SILVER COINS. Secretory Carlisle States the Number Exported nnd Imported. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WASHINGTON, Oct. ID. Secretary Carlisle sent to the S?nate a reply to the resolution asking him to Inform the Senate as approximately accurate as practicable of the number of coined standard silver dollars of our mintage under the laws of 137S and 1S20 exported anu imported since Feb. 23, 1578; the number of such dollars recolned in our mints and the number consumed in the industrial use in the United States; the amount of gold taking the same course since 1870, and whether the amount of excess, if any, of such exports over imports, and the amount recolned and that used in the industrial arts have been taken into account and deducted from the total coinage estimated as in existence in this country. Mr. Carlisle says the number of silver dollars coined under these laws, exported and imported, is not known, as returns of domestic coins exported or imported are not entered at the custom houses by denominations. The number of dollars coined under these laws, deposited at the mints for recolnage, has been 132,018. No estimate has been made of the dollars coined under these laws which were used in the industrial arts, but it is believed that the number is very small, as so much more bullion can be purchased for a dollar than it contains, and bullion would be used in lien of coin- whenever it was practicable to obtain it. The amount of United States gold coin exported from Jan. 1, 1878, to Oct. 1, 1833. was $571.SSl,77l The amount of United Ktates gold coin Imported from Jan. 1, 1S78, to Oct. 1. 1S9.V was 5126.943.&S5. Prior to January. 1S7S, the imports of United States rold enfn were separated in the custom house returns from foreign gold coin. The amount of gold consumed in the Industrial arts from 1S70 to 1S93, inclusive, as estimated by the Mint Bureau, was $3S2,In estimating the amount of silver dollars coined since Feb. 28, 1878, in the country no deductions have been made either for exports or jCar use in the industrial arts in the United States, nor has there been any allowance for recolnage, as it ha3 heretofore been believed that the number of silver dollars recolned in 1873 and prior years in circulation exceeded the amount of silver dollars coined since 187$ exported, recoined and used in the Industrial arts. In estimating the stock of ,old coin in the country the amount exported and recoined as v-ell as the amount estimated as used in the industrial arts of the United States is deducted from the last estimate, while the amount Imported and coined is added. The starting point in estimating the stock of gold coin in the - United States was 1S73, and that estimate was made by Director of the Mint Einderman. At that period there was no gold coin in active circulation in the country except on the Pacific coast, and the estimate comprised only the metallic stock in the treasury and in the national banks, with an estimate of 520.000.000 as the minimum of gold coin in use on the Pacific coast. Since then the estimates have from year to year been made by adding to the stock of gold coin at that date the anual coinage and import to the United States, less the amount of gold coin withdrawn for recolnage and for exports.

III., Oct 20. Another horrible wreck occurred at midnight on the Illinois Central railroad at Otto Junction, four miles south "of Kankakee, in which It Is reported seven persons were killed and about as many badly injured. The northbound fast mall crashed into the Pontlac district freight as the latter was rounding the "Y" from Kankakee, preparatory to coming to this city on the main line of the Illinois Central. The only information obtainable at this hour (2 a. m.) is that given above. The Texas sleeper was on the train, and it 13 thought the dead and wounded are in that. The place where the accident. occurred is a desolate locality, with no houses in the immediate vicinity. At 2 o'clock a relief train with a working crew and physicians was sent out from Kankakee. It is thought a misplaced switch was the cause of the accident, as the double track of the Illinois Central begins at Otto Junction and ends In Chicago. The wrecked train consisted of a mail car with four clerks, a baggage car, two day coaches and a Texas sleeper. The Illinois Central officials refuse to give any information ' whatever. Superintendent Ilarahan Is in charge of the relief party and wrecking expedition. Another dispatch Says: Reports are very meager, but all agree that seven persons were killed outright and fifteen to twenty injured. It would seem from the preparations made by the railroad company for relief that the wreck is a worse one than reported. The train was going to Chicago and had just reached the station when a freight on the southwestern branch pulled from the branch onto the main line. The express crashed into it on starting. It Is not known who is to blame ijpr the accident. The country is level and clear. Owing to 'limited facilities for getting news it is Impossible to give names of the killed and injured. An officer of the Big Four in this city stated, at 3 o'clock this morning, that the Illinois Central people had asked permission to run their trains over the Big Four tracks from Kankakee to Sheldon, where connections could be made with another line that ran to the Illinois Central track south of the place where the accident happened. The Big Four official knew nothing about the wreck, as it occurred south of Kankakee; not on that portion of the tracks used by the Big Four. Five Men Killed. TRENTON, N. J., Oct. 19.

The report for the judiciary committee of the Presbyterian Synod of the State of New York on the Briggs case was read at the meeting of the synod to-day. It is as follows: "Judicial Case 2 consists of five complaints, dated in November, 1S92, against the action of the Presbytery of New York. The first respects the status of the prosecuting committees appointed by the Presbytery of New York in the case of Rev. Charles A. Briggs, D. D., and is signed by Charles A. Briggs and five others. The second is against the refusal of the presbytery to sustain the first objections made by the defendant to the amended charges in the case of Rev. C. A. Briggs, D. D.. and is signed by Charles A. Briggs and Francis Brown. The third is against the refusal of the Presbytery of New York to entertain the second objection made by the amended charges in the case of Rev. C. A. Briggs, D. D., and is signed by C. A. Briggs and Francis Brown. The fourth is against the presbytery for refusing by a vote of 70 to 13 to strike out from the amended charges in the case of Rev. Charles A. Briggs, D. P., the concluding paragraph, which Is signed by C. A. Briggs and Francis Brown. Tnc fifth is against the action of the presbytery of Dec. 1, 1S32. 'in voting that the evidence offered by the prosecution be considered competent,' which is signed by C. A. Brisgs and Franci3 Brown. "The judicial committee take this occasion to alhrm the right of all complaints in presbytery to ask relief of the synod whenever they are aggrieved, and all loyal Presbyterians acknowledged the largest liberty under our constitution and form of government in seeking a true adjustment ; of their difficulties. But in thl3 case we .recommend that these complaints be disj missed for the following considerations: The above mentioned five complaints all I relate to occurrences on the two trials of Mr. Briggs by the Presbytery of New York. The merits cf that case have all been heard on appeal in two general assemblies. In the General Assembly of 189J the whole case was heard at great length, and a hnal judgment was ren dered at that time by that assembly covering the whole case. This, in our opinion, clearly and finally disposes of all Interlocutory questions on those cases, no matter when those cases were pending." Dr. Miller, chairman of the committee, said: "1 am glad to be able to add that no minority report will be presented. The vote was harmonious, one of the brethren asking to be excused from voting, and, of cours?, his request was granted." The report was accepted by a large majority. JIovcment of Steamers. HAMBURG.

Increased Attendance at the Brown-Wesner Murder Trial. The Weapons Used in the Tragedy Exhibited in Court Fatal Runaway Accideut at Huntington. LEBANON, Ind., Oct. 13. The sensation in the Brown-Wesner murder trial to-day was the exhibition In court of the revolver and knife that played so Important a part in the tragedy. Interest in the case is growing. A great many women are in attendance. Mr. Krown's daughter is attending the High School here, but she says that she could not keep her mind on her studies during the trial, "and she begged to be allowed to attend court and sit near her father. There does not seem to be a feeling of any kind in Lebanon except of sorrow and regret for the tragedy. Mr. Brown will probably take the stand in his own bahalf. There will probably be much conflict In the evidence as to the scene in the court house at Danville. It Is pJso probable that, the question of the reputation of the two men for peace and quiet will be extensively entered into. After examining twenty witnesses the prosecution stated to the court, at 3:30 this afternoon, that, with the exception of two or three witnesses, including Judge Hadley, of Danville, their - testimony was all in. Court then adjourned until morning. Among the witnesses to-day were three jurors in the case of Hohl vs. the Gas Company, which was on trial at Danville the day of the tragedy. The coroner of Hendricks county, Mr. E. C. Wills, produced in court the revolver with which Wcsner was killed. It was still loaded, and the coroner stated that it was in the same condition as on the day it was taken from Brown In the court room. It is a rather small, nickel-plated five-chamberedNo. 32 weapon. On removing the cylinder It'was discovered that it had been loaded with cartridges known as 32 short. There were two loaded cartridges and two empty shells in the chamber. The coroner also produced the knife with which Wesner was armed, and with which he would certainly have killed Brown, as he was lying over him, if his arm had not been seized by attorney Ralston, of Lebanon. It is an ugly looking knife, eleven inches long, with a blade seven Inches long and one and one-eighth Inches wide. The clothing worn by the deceased was also exhibited to the jury. There was a bullet hole in the sleeve of tho left arm of the long black Prince Albert coat at the wrist; also, a hole In the vest, where the fatal bullet entered. The coroner also produced ten cartridges taken from the clothing of Wesner. George W. Frill detailed the scene In the court room. He corroborated the testimony of Mr. Harvey. Dr. C. A. White, of Danville, the first physician in the court room after the tragedy, was next examined. He said: "Wesner asked If he was shot in the heart. I told him no. Pretty soon he said: 'Doctor, I am dying. Then he said: 'Good-bye many times. He asked to have his shoes and stockings taken off. "He said he did not want to die with either on, and they were removed." $ Dr. C. E. Harlan, of Danville, next testified. He said: "Wesner exclaimed, 'Kill me. kill me! I said, 'I want to make you better that you may live Wesner replied, I want to live for. revenge. I knew last night that he had a pistol for me. I was told three days ago that he Intended to do this thing. I said to Brown. "Cooley Brown, you know I am no coward; pull your pistol," and he shot me like a dog. Harvey, you saw it all; track him to hell RUNAWAY ACCIDENT. One Man . Killed, Another's Ies Broken and Ttto Others Injured. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. HUNTINGTON, Ind., Oct. 13.

B. Cheadle Thinks Many Republicans Oppose Silver Repeal. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: Will you permit one of your readers, for himself and by request for many others, to express the opinion that you are in error, so far as this part of the State is concerned, in stating that a large majority of the people of both parties favor the unconditional repeal of the purchasing clause of the sliver law of 1S00. 1 have made careful inquiry of the people of our party here and in other localities, men from every walk of life, and the result of my observations and this opinion Is concurred In by those for whom I write is that not one person in seven favors it The general belief is that silver has had nothing to do with causing the panic. This is the belief of men, some of whom have vivid memories of panics so far back as 1847 and 1S57. The same sentiment prevails in other counties, and is sustained by Investigation made by the New York Tribune ajnong manufacturers as to the cause of the present status of their trade, wherein, out of two hundred replies, 16S assign the fear of a revision of the tariff as the sole cause, while only thirty-two assign the tariff and silver questions as the causes. I have heretofore, in your paper, fully and plainly expressed my faith in the Sherman law. It needs no defense. In this panic the fear was not of the money, for every dollar, whether of coin or paper, was created by a law of tho Nation, and the people, In no instance, have discriminated against the treasury n?tes authorized by the act of 1890. The struggle has been to secure from banks their deposits, and when secured, whether in coin or paper, they have been gladly accepted by all the people. The masses know that there are over four hundred millions of, sliver money In our money system, and they know that while, the mints are open and free to gold, that the only legal protection silver has, with all this volume in use, is the law of 1S90, and they know that the only effect the repeal of the purchasing clause of that act can have Is to further restrict the use of silver, which is one of the two constitutional standards of value in our money system, hence the almost unanimous opposition of the masses to the unconditional repeal of the purchasing clause. Those for whom I write request me to say that, if there can be a final settlement of the money muddle, whereby silver can have the same measure of protection that is accorded to gold, then, in that event, they would not object to its repeal. The Republicans are pledged in favor of bimetallism, and we know that bimetallism In America means, if it means anything, the use of both gold and silver as standards of value. It never has meant, it never can mean, the use of gold as a single standard, in which everything, including silver, must be measured, any more than it means a silver standard, in which everything, including gold, shall be measured. The Republicans have been taught, and now believe it means a gold and silver standard. We have besn taught that obedience to law Is the first duty of the American citizen. The law says that 412 grains of silver of standard fineness, when stamped by the government is a dollar, just like 25.8 grains of gold, when so stamped, is a dollar, and that they are equal to each other; yes, we know they are the equals of each other as legal representatives of the unit of our money system, and we have been taught and believe that the man or party that spoils either of these money units Is no less disloyal than they who sought to destroy the government Itself, for the reason that for a hundred years these money units have been the standard In which all values in our country have been measured. We demand that they be treated as equals this and nothing more. One other statement: Fifty years ao the Parliament of England declared that an ounce of gold shall never be worth less than 3, lis and 7d sterling in that govarnment Can any sane man doubt the fact that. If Congress should, by law, provide that 412 grains of silver of standard fineness shall never be worth less than $1 in the United States, that it could and would maintain itself with gold? Prior to 1873, when it was protected the same as gold, it was worth even more than gold. These are undeniable facts, silver being at the time of Its demonetization, in 187J, worth 3.29 cents premium. The Republican party has made its record. It enacted an election law whereby the national government could supervise the election of members of Congress and presidential electors. It enacted a tariff law whereby American labor, industries and capital were thoroughly protected. It enacted a financial system whereby every dollar, whether of coin or paper, was authorized and issued by the government, and it was the boast and pride of our party that, pending the settlement by an international agreement of a ratio between gold and silver, the act of July 14. 1850, would enable the use of all our silver product in our money system, and at the same time maintain the highest possible standard. (See the speech of Mr. Conger, of Iowa, who had charge of the bill on Its final passage in the House.) The people, in 1832. elected the Democrats to office. President Cleveland says that this silver law is the cause of the panic: that it is a 'vicious'.' act. and he charges that our tariff is the same kind of a law that It robs the poor and benefits the rich. He declares that the election law violates the sacred rights of the States, and the House has parsed a bill to repeal it. Ours is a government by parties. The Democratic party, not the Republican, is charged with the duty of legislation. What the masses of our party demand is this: That if the Republican legislation is repealed, let others than Republicans repeal it. We have, as a party, made our record, a record of which all patriots are proud: let us stand by the record, by all of it. by our election, tariff and financial legislation. We cannot consistently unite with our political enemies to repeal any part of It, any more than we can to repeal all of it. We are either Republicans or Democrats. We are either bimetallism or we are :nonom?tallits. I know Mr. Cleveland is a monometallism that he believes in the gold standard only, and that is why, for myself, and ut the request of many of the leading Republicans of Clinton county, I have written these thoughts to respectfully protest as Republicans against being quoted in favor of repealing one single measure placed upon the statute books as a distinctive Republican policy. We stand with both feet upon the Republican rational platform declarations. We are bimetalllsts aa sincerely as we are protectionists and Republicans. J. D. CIIEADLE. Frankfort, Ind., Oct 18. And Thin Man's Pension Wn Stopped. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: The Pension Department, as at present administered. Is a national disgrace. The conscience of the loyal North nust be reached and touched by the acts of the Pension Commissioner, whereby outrages Infinite are perpetrated upon men who risked their lives In defense of the liberties we enjoy.
