They can only be had in even exchange for gold. : A NEw silver dollar was onTuesday placed in the hand of John Sherman to admire. It must have sent a/chill through his lean carcass. It will give some little relief to the people, and that John does not like. =~ - : e O e Is there any truth in the report that the republican resumptionists and anti-silverites of thig District have determined upon slaughtering John H. Baker if he should decide to become a candidate for a third term?

JOHN SHERMAN is_coming down handsomely. 11¢ now “assents” to-the proposition for supplementary legislation guthorizing the issue of legal-ten-der certificates for' deposits of silver bullion. That’s coming to Mr. Bland’s original programme.

‘SILVER SWINDLE! Rank Repudiation! Entering wedgé! Shameless Disregard of the Nation’s Honor!. Fraud! That’s the kind. of stuff those distingnished financiers told us when we proposed to restore the 41214 grain dollar that is already equal to the much-praised gold dollar, L

THoOSE shrewd journalists who professed to favor the remonetization of silver, but insisted that more than 41234 grains must be put in the dollar, now owe it to their duped readers to enlighten them on this one little point: If the 4121 grain dollar is already worth 100 cents in gold, what would be its value if the weight had been increased to 420, or 425, or even 435 grains as’ proposed by some of the pompous chaps who affect to know so much about finance? i ;

WE HEAR it whispered in political circles that Dr. Rerick, editox: of the Lagrange Standard, is to be trotted out as a candidate for Congress. If such be the case, we can only say that the party might go farther and fare worse. The Dr. is a gentleman of ability and would make a faithful, conscientious servant of his constituents. In these particulars he is infinitely the superior of sme others that have been named in the south-western Dpart of the District. =« :

TugE ELECTION for Governor and other State officers of New Hamp--shire took place on Tuesday. A Concord telegram furnishes the following infarmation of the result: “Bad day and roads injured the democratic vote. Fiyve hundred towns gave Prescott, re‘publican candidate for Governor, something less than 2,000 majority, being a wz”emochtio gain of 1,713 over the vote| of last year. He may have 1,200 when the returns are all in, but from appearances now it will /fall short of 1,000. The House will probably have some twenty-republican majority, the Senate two republican maJority, and one majority in the executive couneil,” ; : \

. BRICK 'POMEROY has at last done one thing that meets with the cordial approbation of the Argus. He has formally left the Democratic party. If ~ he had done 8o years ago the party would have one less demagogue, shyster and frand in its ranks, and it would have enjoyed a proportionaté‘ly greater amount of respect from all honest men. Brick goes to the Nationals and hopes that his paper will become their leading organ.~—LaPorte Argus. We fully agree with our contemporary’s genera-l{__ estimate of the notorious Brick, but the statement that he ~ has joined the “Nationals” is not quite correct. It is true, Brick attended the Toledo convention, but when he found that he could not be its highcoekolorum he turned his back upon the new-born party and is now clamorous for a pure and unadulterated Greenback party whichfavorsthe immediate withdraw- - al of all government bonds and the issue of an unlimited amount of -irredeemable greenbacks, And he wants it distinctly understood that -of such - a party he must be the recognized ‘leader and that every member must ‘be a subscriber to his, blatherskite or- &, L.

It is surprising that so large a num- | ber of otherwise well-informed men have never gone to the troubleof reading the Sherman resumption act of 1875. Ask these men what the act contemplates and they will almost invariably declare that it simply means to make the paper dollar equal to a gold dollar. 'We wish all such would, without delay, give the actin question a thoughtful perusal. They would then find that the first section provides for the coinage of subsidiary silver (10, 25 and 50 cent coins) and for the redemption therewith of all outstanding fractional currency. This part of the resumption act has been carried out, and everybody knows that the fractional currency has beeén pretty effectually redeemed or retired. = Section 2 provides for free coinage “of gold. o Sl w } . The section relating to resumption reads as follows: » SECTION 3. 'L'hat section five thousand one hundred and seventy-seven of the Revised Statutes of the United States, limiting the aggregate amount of circulating notes of national banking associations, be, and is hereby, repealed; and each existing banking association may increase in circulating notes in accordance with existing law without réspect to said aggregate limit; and new banking associations may be organized-in accordance with existing law without respeet to said aggregate limit; and the provisions of law for the withdrawal and redistribution of national bank ecurrency among the several States and Territories are hereby repealed. And whenever, and so often, as circula&ng notes shall be issued to any such banking association, so increasing its capital or circulating notes, or 8o newly organized as aforesaid, it shall be the duty of the Secretary of the Treasury to redeem the legal-tender United States notes in excess only of ‘three million of dollars, to the amount of eighty per centum of the sum of national bank notes so issued to any such banking association as aforesaid, and to continue shch redemption as such circulating notes are issued until there shall be eutstanding the sum of three hun- ' dred million dollarg of such legal-ten-.der notes and no more. And on and after the first day of January, Anno Domini eighteen hundred and sepentynwne, the Secretary of the Treasury shall redeem, in coitn, the United States légal-tender notes then outstanding on their presentation for redemption, at the office of the Assistant Treasurer of the United States in the City of New York, in sums of not less than fifty dollars. "And to enable the Secretary of the Treasury to prepare and provide for the redemption in this act authorized or required, he is authorized to use any surplus revenues, from time-to time, in the Treasury ‘not otherwise appropriated, and to issue, sell, and dispose of, at not less than par, in coin, either of the descriptions of bonds of the United States described in the act of Congress approved July fourteenth, eighteen hundred and seventy, entitled, “An act to. authorize the refunding of the national debt,” with like qualities, privileges, ~and exemptions, to the extent necessary to carry this aet into full effect, and to use the proceeds thereof for the purpoges aforesaid. And all provisions of law inconsistent with the provisions of this act are hereby repealed. : i

It will be noticed that this section provides for an iexbegsiqn‘ of the na~ ‘tional banking facilities, and for the substitution of national bank notes in lieu of greenbacks, until the velume of the latter is reduced to $300,000,000, The italicized portion of this section contains the vital point. On the first day of nex! January, after the volume of the greenback currency shall have been reduced to $300,000,000, the redemption of the remainder is to be commenced and continued as long as the Secretary of the Treasury has a dollar of coin with which to redeem. And to procure this coin he is authorized to sell bonds of the sev~eral denominations authorized by law, ‘thus adding just that much to the in-terest-bearing debt of the nation. For what? Simply to enable the owners of greenbacks to exchange, in the city of New York, their currency for gold, or coin. - By selling bonds, Sherman now has on hand about $65,000,000 of gold for this purpose, and by selling still. more he expects to have about ong hundred million dollars when the time for resumpfion comes around.: The New York Banks control millions upon millions p; currency, and judging them by their past conduct they will not be slow to gobble up about all the gold that Mr. Sherman will have on hand by next January. “Happily, the passage of the silver bill blocks the game which the Shylocks sought to play. If the Secretary of the Treasury does his duty they will now be obliged to take silver dollars,and gilver dollars don’t exactly suit their purpose. They want gold, and for that reason they fought so savagely against the passage of the remonetization act. If it were possible to coin over :one hundred millions of silver dollars by next January these gentlemen wouldn’t care a farthing whether thée resumption act stands or is repealed, How mad.they must be for not having had the foresight to use the word “gold” instead of “coin” when they got John Sherman to put the resumption act through Congress! - : :

' Our objections to the Sherman resumption act are, briefly stated, these: 1. It unnecessarily adds to the interest bearing debt of the country. 2. It is designed to work the destruction of the greenback currency, which is universally conceded to be the best currency this country has ever had. -

8. It contemplates the perpetuation of the national banking system, by leaving that the only currency for the use of the people—the government virtually paying the national banks a bounty for issuing currency which it can just as ‘well issue itself, without other expense than that of printing. : .

4. It is designed to deprive the peo- } ple of an absolute legal tender curren- | cyi-\ currency that always protects the debtor from, the exactions of a hoggish creditor, who, in the absence of such legal temder currency, has it in his power to demand coin and thus put the debtor to the expense of procuring such coin at such cost as may - &, It works an injurious and disastrous contraction of the currency, B i ! 4 g .

~ ROME c_x_g_!nm G | A protractéd meeting has been in progress for some time at the M. E. church in this place, and the result has been quite a goodly number of converts. It is to be hoped that ere long the membership may be so increased as to justify the church in holding services in the forenoon and evening on Sunday, and not in the afternoon as heretofore. : “Jap” was in town last week. He inspected the ruins of the woolen factory, witnessed a game or two of mud billiards, and departed on the 12:13 train southev;x‘ He says his cow is doing as w could be expected.

The woolen mills (as was) closed out the remainder of their manufactured goods to Harry Ward, of Keudallville, Nothing now remains but a few cords of wood which escaped the fire and a large amount of old iron.

* “M. V. Hall, formerly engiheerat the woolen mills, has made arrangements to start a blacksmith shop in the business part of town. Mart is'a good workman and we wish him abundant success.’- i ; :

Greenback meetings are now in full blast. The Rome City Glee Club will visit Rice’s school house in Elkhart township on Friday evening next, and Cazier’s school house in Orange township on Saturday evening, at which time a club at each place will be organized. Col. Williams of Albion, will deliver an address on Saturday evening at Cazier’s school house, Other meetings in Orange township will take place next week. - -

- DoN'T You Foreer IT.— Nelson Prentiss, Esq, of Albion, will address the “National” greenback club' at their ratification meeting in Rome on Saturday evening, March 23d. The Glee Club. will be onn hand with some new songs. Don’t fail to turn out. ~ Bear in mind that the “Natlonals” hold their nominating convention on Saturday, March 23d, at 2 o’clock, . M, at the Town House in Rome, All those who intend to join with the National Greenbackers are most cordially invited to attend and participate. That “dishonest silver dollar;” that 41234 grain dollar; that 92 cent dollar, which the Shylock papers told us 80 much about is now worth 99 cents and still on the rise. Who can now place any confidence in these dishonest, hireling blatherskites? ~ Will the woolen factory be rebuilt? is the question which is asked by almost every one who comes to town.— The answer is No,—emphatically No!

There has been some little talk of erecting and putting in operation a starch factory on the site of the old woolen mills. . A large portion of the wind work has been already done.— Our opinion is that it ‘'would be a paying investment and a good thing for the towh and country. ; E Local items are quite scarce and we ‘will bring our squibs to a close by giving you another of our greenback songs, which we feel sure you will be willing to publish on-account of its greenback sentiments, although it seems a trifle severe on old parties.— But remember the Natiodal is the coming man.

Gen. Tom Browne on the Outlook,

A Washington letter published in the Indianapolis News says: ; Discussing public matters with Gen. Tom Browne the other evening, he cast the political horoscope about in this wise: So far as Indiana is involved the Democracy will elect their State ticket by an overwhelming majority, and will have a majority in each branch of the Legislature, securing the return of Dan Voorhees to the United States Senate. We Republi-| cans may eleet three members of Congress, but, in all probability, will not elect even two. In the next National Fouse of Representatives.the Democracy will have a larger majority than they had two years ago,and, with a Democratic Senate, which is already agsured, in 1879, they will have complete control of the legislative department of the Government. About that time President Hayes will wish he had never been born. Suceess in 1878 insures the party success in 1850, when they will control the Government in all branches but the judiciary. ; The General’s head is mighty level. The democratic party is destined to control the country. Itisin sympathy with the people. It advocates their interests, and its success is inevitable.> : j \ e iR, O R—— e Trustees Eligible to Re-election. - The following letter from our superintendent of public instruction, gives a solution to the problem which vexes 80 many just now:: : o ' INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 18, 1878.

John’s Tricks. . ‘ (Atlanta Constitution.) fities The tricks of John Sherman are still coming to light. He issaid to be again calling in the one -and two-dol-lar'notes. - He does not admitas much; it is not his way to do any thing above board; but it is known that a great searcity of these notes exists in the West, and that the Treasurer’s books show that the amount of these notes outstanding fo-day is 46,300,000, against $56,000,000 one year ago. He tried the same trick last year, but public sentiment compelled him to pay -out small bills again. The man is capable of any thing that is dark, secret and crooked. Ll & — i Another heavy smash has taken place across the water. Willig, Percival & Co., bankers, of London, have failed with liabilities $8,200,000. Their banking house had been 'in existence one hundred and. eight years. The failure is attributed to heavy losses from bad :debts.

A Sweeping Tornado in Kentucky. A terrible tornado, with a width of 400 yards swept through Casey county, Kentucky, between the hours of 2 ‘and 38 o’clock on Saturday afternoon, March 2, doing frightfel damage in ‘the neighborhood of Rich Hill and Mount Olive.. The whole of the family of Vincent Wesley, near Rich Hill, consisting of himself, wife, two grown daughters, and a boy named ‘Sloan, nephew, and Wm. Taylor, a neighbor stopping at his house, were killed outright. Another man named Richardson had his shoulder and col-lar-bone frightfully smashed.” Mrs. Wesley’s body was blown 400 yards. Her clothing was entirely stripped off. The two daughters were carried fifty yards, and were found locked in each other’s arms. The father and nephew were fearfully. mangled, and. all must have been killed by the first: force of the tempest. The dwelling, stables, and outhouses were blown entirely away, the logs being scattered for many yards along ‘the sweep of the tornado, and the hearth and foundation-stones blown from their places. j | :In the vicinity of Mouhnt Olive, Mrs. Morgan, wife of John W. Morgan,was killed, and the dwelling and onthouses of F. Floyed were completely swept away, and the timbers scattered in every direction. :

- In the village of Mount Olive, several houses were swept away and the remainder otherwise injured. Fences were blown away along the whole course of the tornado, posts and rails being drawn out and torn into splinters and utteirly destroyed. Large trees were twisted from their rootsand carried hundreds-of yards. A considera‘ble number of horses, cattle, and other stock, and nearly all the poultry inits course, were killed. The probable damage is not less than $50,000. _‘

: A Wealthy Miser’s Death, -~ CINCINNATI, March 10.—The Enquirer of fo-day publishes a remarkable story of the life of Jerry Tullis, of this city, who died Friday night from sickness caused by lack of food and by self-neglect and eéxposure. 7'ullis was worth $2,000,000 jor $3,000,000 in real estate, bonds, &c., most of which 'he had accummulated by extreme economy and close but strictly honest dealings. . He owned a large amount of property in Cincinnati, Chicago and St. Louis; was the heaviest land-own-er in Butler, a wealthy county adjoining this,and owned about one hundred thousand acres in Towaand Missouri. He was very peculiar- in his habits, buying his clothes only atsecond hand and living at cheap restaurants. He had been ill for some time before his death, but refused to employ a physician on occount of expense. He was a man of fair education and had studied law with Gen. Sam Cary, of this city, in order to fit himself to attend to hisown business and save attorney’s fees. He was very eccentric and selfdenying in his habits, avoiding society, living in a wretehed, dirty room in an obscure alley, or in a'log hut on one of his farms; dressing wretchedly, having the appearance of a thirdrate tramp. He was unmarried and had few friends or relatives.* He resmarked shortly before his death that ‘he cared little what became of his property except that he hoped those who got it would enjoy spending it as much as he had its accumulation.

Wyoming’s Big Snow Storn,

CHEYENNE, Wy., March 9.—A storm exceeding in violence and duration that of any previous season set in at 11 . M., on the Bth inst., continuing without abatement until noon to-day, the wind ranging in velocity from fifty to sixty-four miles per hour, car‘rying snow with it and drifting it in banks ten to fifteen feet high in this city. Sofar only one roof has given way. It extended from Bitter Creek, on the west, to Julesburg, on the east. A great number of the cuts are level full of snow, and: all trairis on the Union Pacifie, Denver Pacificand Colorado Central are either side-tracked or snowed in. The ploughs stationed here have been shoveled out, and tomorrow morning, ilf the storm does not increase, they will be vigorously manipulated. - There is no communication north, whither many fréight outfits are now traveling, and .probably the less of stock, if not of life, will be great. etk A S

A Tornado Strikes Atlanta.

An Atlanta, Georgia, dispatch says a tornado struck that city Sunday morning about 11 o’clock, leveling the Episcopal church and injuring 18 members of the eongregation. When the building was struck the officiating minister, knowing that it was merely’ a question of minutes to secure the satety of the people, called to them to throw themselves under the seats. This advice the congregation followed, and not a moment.too soon. With fearful creaks and jars of its roof and walls the whole building crumbled into shapeless ruins, burying the congregation under the debris. Several other churches in Atlanta have been seriously injured, their walls shaken and roofs partly stripped. The city hall has been -entirely unroofed, and the car sheds of the railroad depot unsettled. Great damage was done to private residences and stores.

Heavy Rains in California.

. The heavy rains in California, continuing for weeks past, have so swollen the streams that vast damage has been done in many parts of the State, The Sacramento river, along whose banks in other years both life and property have been destroyed by the floods, has this season risen to such heights as to overflow great tracts of the valley -through which it passes, and swept away levees, buildings, stock and crops valued in the aggregate at nearly a million of dollars.— One farmer alone lost six thousand acres of wheat and twenty thousand sheep. In some sections human habitations have beeu ingulphed and carried from their foundations, often so suddenly as to cut off the escape of the luckless inmates. i : :

March B.—The Eagle’s Washington special says a well known Massachusetts politician, who has beén identified with the ConklingChandler element of the republican party for many years, called upon the President yesterday.

THE SILYVER REMEDY.

Numerous Applications for National ol Bank Charters.

WASHINGTON, March 6.—-The Treasury Department is already in receipt of large numbers of letters deily inquiring as to the construction of the silver bill, how much money will be ‘coined, etc. - Many -applications for addifional currency by national banks, have also been received, and also for charters for new banks—among these being one from Abner Taylor and Mr. Campbell, of Chicago, who design starting aibank in Texas. Several banks which had curtailed their curfency are now enlarging it again, and many more will do so upon satisfactory assurances that the loss will remain as at present.. There will shortly be largely increased amounts of money for investment and.loan in the country. This is the practical result of the silver bill, as shown by the facts, at the Treasury Department. :

Lo e e An Injured Girl Seeking Revenge.

SoutH BEND, March 7.—Our city is greatly excited over the seduction case reported yesterday. Miss Hamlin, whom Law is said to have seduced, with a promise of :marriage, last January, called at'a late hour last night at the Grand Central Hotel, where Law and his bride were stopping, to interview him. "He came down stairs, and meeting her refused to be interviewed, and passed by, when Miss Hamlin drew a pistol and shot athim, grazing his face. She fired a second time, but missed him. Law escaped and swore out a warrant, but' there are no officers here who will serve it. It is rumored that another lady of one of our first.families has been led astray by this infernal villain, the name of which will appear soon. . B

Dick Thompson’s Probable Retirement, WASHINGTON, February 26.—The first change-in the Cabinet will probably take place the coming summer in ‘the retirement of Secretary Thompson, avho begins to fear that the duties of his office are too exacting upon his health. It has been vigorous until within a few months, when his labor of ten hours a day has had an injurious effect. Mr, Thompson may improve in the mean time and decide to remain. Unless he doeshe will doubtless resign when the lease of his present residence expires. el 4 BW——— e " Seventeen Lives Lost in a Colliery.

Il S Rookrort, Mass., April 2, 1897, i Mgz, Eviror;—Having read in ‘y,our paper re-. F‘)rts of the remarkable cures o catarrh, I am _ nduced to tell *what I know about catarrh,”and. I fancy the “snuff”? and "inhalinF-tube” makers (mere dédar grabbers) would be glad if theycould * emblazon a similar cure in the papers. For 26 years I suffered with catarrh. The nasal Dpassag. es became com{ﬂetely closed. **Sffuff,” *dust,” ‘ashés,” “inhaling tubes,” and “‘sticks” wonldn’t * work, ‘though' at intervals I would snnff up the go-called catarrh snuff, until I became a valuable tester for such medicines, I gradually grew worse, and .no one can know how much I suffered or ‘what a miserable being I was. My head ached ‘over my eyes so that I was confined to my bed for - many successive days, suffering the most intenge pain, which at one time lasted continuonsly for 168 “hours. All senge of smell and taste gone, sight and hearing impaired, body shrunken and weakened, nervous system shattered, and constitution broken, and I was hawking and spitting seveneighths of the time, I prayed for fleath to relieve we of my suffering. A favorable notice in your paper of Dr. Bage’s Catarrh Remedy induced me to purchase a packgl%:;, and use it with Dr Pierce’s Nasal Douche, which ‘applies the remedy by hydrostatic pressure, the only way compatible with - eommon sense. Well, Mr, Editor, it did not cure ‘me in three-fourths of a second, nor in one hour or month, but in less than eight minutes I was relieved, and in three months entirely cured, and - have remained so for gver sixteen months. While using the Catarrh Remedy, I used Dr. Pierce’s . Golaen Medical Digcovery to purify my blood and strengthen my stomach. I also-kept my liver active and bowels regular by the usepfhis Pleasant Purgative Pellets. If my experience will. induce .- other sufferers to seek the same means of relief, this letter will-have answered its purpoges, Yours truly, 8. D REMICK.
