DEBS IS AGAIN FREE.' MANY FRIENDS MEET HIM AT THE JAIL. Given a Great Ovation at Chicago— Borne to the Central Music Hall on the Shoulders of Four Men—His Speech Received with Applause. Labor Leader Talks. Eugene A'. Debs spoke in Central Music | Hall, Chicago, the night following his ! release from jail to an audience that taxed the seating and standing capacity of the hall. Most of the leading labor organizations were represented and the reception accorded to the leader of the American Railway 1 nion was enthusiastic in the extreme. Eight carloads of : Debs friends went to Woodstock to greet ; him on his release from jail, and several i thousand men were nt the station of the I EUGENE V. DEBS. . — I Northwestern Road when the train, bearing Debs and his friends, arrived at 7:30 ! o'clock. The reception given Debs as he ; stepped from tin l train bordered on the i frantic. Hundreds of nu n pushed and struggled to get a grasp of his hand. ; many of them hugged him. and some i went to the length of kissing him. Final Jy ho was tossed up to the shoulders of ; four men and followed by a dense throng ; that never for one instant stopped its shouts and cheers, he was escorted to the i hall, about a mile distant. The warmth of the reception given him at the depot j was repeated when he entered the hail, I with the exception that the men were un able to get close to him and contented ; themselves with cheering and waving I their hats. The speech delivered by i Debs was received with great applause ; by the audience. He commenced by saving that in the light of recent judicial proceedings he i

stood stripped of his constitutional rights as a free man, and shorn of the most sacred prerogative of American citizen ship; and what was true of himself was true of every other citizen who had the temerity to protest against corporation rule or the question of the absolute sway of the money power. It was not the law m»r the administration of law of which he complained. It was the thigrunt violation of the constitution, the total abrogation of law, and usurpation of judicial and despotic power by virtue of which he ami his colleagues were committed to jail against which he enterev* his protest, and any honest analysis of the proceedings must s' stain the haggard truth of the indictment. He had been denied trial. He was charged now with conspiracy, and if guiiiy should go to the penitentiary. He wanted to be tried by a jury of his j»eers. and all he asked was a fair trial ami no favor. iThe conspiracy case is still undisposed of in the I nited States Court. Ed.) MONEY SYSTEM IS BAD. Director of the Mint Says Sensible Currency Ecw'slation Is Needed. The director of the mint has submitted his report to the Secretary of the Treasury. Mr. Preston, in a review id the monetary legislation of the country, states that the real demonetization of silver took place in 1553. when th<- weight of the divisional coins was reduced about 7 per cent. This, he says, was not an accident or an oversight; it was expressly declared in the House of Representatives that the intention was to make gold the sole standard of value in large transactions. and silver, subservient to it. for : small ones. tin- act ot 15,3. tie says, was only nominal. In his report the director of tin mint ■ says that the result ot tin 1 < urrem i legis lation of the t nited States for over a . hundred years has been sm h as to leave an incoherent monetary system, as inconsistent, illogical and expensive as can I will be imagined, that inspires little < onlidem e at home and is tint conducive to our credit abroad, and its reform is one of the most important and urgent political ami limim-ml questions ot the hour. He says that on the date of .Inly 1. IST'J. the date of the resumption of specie payments, the only currency, except coin cerfifieatt s. required to be redei med in . gold coin was the S. I4< MiSI J> 1 b legal tender notes then outstanding, which the j then Secretary of the Treasury was of the opinion that a gold reserve of $109.000,0<:i) would be sufficient to maintain, but' the paper currency redeemable on ‘ presentation has been increased to the extent of s 155.!>30.001t issued in payment ' <>f the silver bullion purchased under act of July 14. I*9o. Besides these, there j were outstanding Nov. 1. 1*95. $33.3.4; >•>.- ■ 2311 in silver certificates. and as the act of July 14, IS9O. declared it "to be the established policy of the I nited States to maintain the two metals at parity with ~«eh other." there was now a total of, SN’*l 229.532 resting on the basis of the i gob! reserve of $100,000,000. 'l'he value of the gold deposited at the mints and assay offices during the fiscal i

year was $87,482,082, of which $65.161,. 007 were original deposits and $22,321,022 were redeposits. The classification of the original deposits of gold was: Domestic bullion, $44^371,949; worn, uncurrent ami mutilated gold coins, $188,258; foreign bullion and coin, $16,367,049; gold plate/ jewelry, etc., $3,213,809. The value of the silver deposited during the fiscal year was $15,714,365, of which $15,234,700 were original deposits and $479,665 redeposits. The value of the deposits of domestic silver bullion at j the mints during the fiscal year wtts SB,-80-1,363, ami worn and mutilated domes- ' tic coins at silver dollar value $3,899,353, foreign bullion and coin $1,780,923, old plate, jewelry, etc., $750,061. The coinage by the mints during the year was: Hold, $43,933,475; silver dollars. $3,956,011; subsidiary silver coins, $5,113,469; minor coins, $712,594; a total ! coinage of $53,715,549. In addition to < the coinage executed by the mints during ■ the year, gold bars were manufactured j of the value of $43,153,370, stud silver : bars of the value of $10,311,545. The average London price of silver bullion during the year was 29 pence, equivalent to 63.8 cents. The highest price of silver during the year was 68 cents and the lowest price 59.8 emits. At the average price of silver bullion during the fiscal year, the ratio of gold to silver was 1 to 32.5, ami the bullion value of a United States silver dollar was $0.49.168. The total earnings of the mints ami assay oilices during the year was $2,088,372, ami the total expenditures $1,185,435, showing the not earnings from al) sources to have been $902,936. CANAL MUST WAIT. Great Nicaraurin Project Given u Btngg< Backset. According to the New York Herald a serious blow has been dealt the Nicaraguan Canal Company’s project lor the construction of a waterway cross the Isthmus by the report of the Nicaraguan Canal commission. Inevitable delay ami a further and more thorough investigation of the entire subject are declared to be necessary before even the engineering feasibility of any canal across Nicaragua can be decided upon. The report is at such variance with the numerous rumors and predictions which have from time to time been published concerning it that it will cause great surprise ami disappointment among those who have hoped for a generally favorable report, ami who have, therefore, placed credence in these rumors. which usually stated "on the highest authority’’ that the commission favored the route proposed by the company ami placed the cost of the mtnal at ; about $1 10,000.01 II I. The report points out that it is neither , practicable imr advisable to attempt the j construction of the Nicaragua ('anal up- . on the data at present available, and that ।

the undertaking would be Ira oglu with i hazards too obvious to disregard, ’fhat the necessary knowledge may be had of I the physical ami topogra^-ieal conditions ■ affecting th,' construction and mainten | anee of a canal across Nicaragua upon j which to form u final judgment ns to I the feasibility, permanence ami cost the commission recommends an appropriu J 1 ion by I 'ongross ot X3,5i t,< w»< t f.,|- extrusive additional surveys ami examinations, coi ering a period of eighteen mouths. With the data at hand. Imwcier the commission makes a provisional estimate j of the cost of 5133. 172.*93. ~r nearly i double that of the Maritime ('anal Com pany's unconditional estimate of sil!> st>3,itoil. l it mmissjoii mak- ■ its es timate ‘'provisional," for the commission era say the existing data tile inadequate as a basin for estimating the < ost of many structures. Some portions of the work may cost more, others less. The report says the oflicial estimate by the company of $(>9,X93.G(50 is insufficient for tin work, that "in several im|M>rtnnt cases the quantities must be greatly increased, ami . in numerous cases the unit prices do not make proper allowance for the differem e i in cost of work between the Cnitid i States and Nicaragua." The general trend of the entire report i - I certainly very unfavorable to the canal company. The commission refrains from any direct crith ism of the company's j prospectus, but its report show - that cer- . tain features, which the company has persisted in a-soring the public through Congress were known to be absolutely safe and feasible, if put in execution , might jeopardize the practicability of the j whole system, and possibly destroy forever the hope of a canal by mt alls of the San luan River and Lake Nicaragua POSTAL REVENUES GAINING. Postmaster General, in Uis Rcnort, Says t tic Increase Is Noted. Postmaster General Wilson has made his first annual report to the President. I’he receipts of the postoth' e department for the year ending .lune 30. were ■STG.I7I .(dui, ami the expenditures sst;. 790,172. It is gratify ing, says the report, that a large portion of the deii- jemy oe < urred in the first quarter ot' the year and that revenues are increasing w ith return- ; ing prosperity. Mr. Wilson estimates the I revenue for the year ending June 30, : 1597. at $59,793.120. ami the expenditures at $94.517,900. the difference to lie made iiji by Congressional appropriation. The postmaster general refers to the ; growth of the free delivery service and . says he believes it is good policy for ('on- ; gross and for this department to foster I the extension of this service by judicious I administration. .Mr. Wilson reiterates the I necessity for legislation to punish train i wrecking stud obstruction to mails urged > by his predecessor, recommends legisla- : tion authorizing the use of private postal ; cards, and says that the civil service rules ■ should be extended w herever practicable.

Mysteries of Chemistry. Morphia suspends the activity of the nerve centers. But how? What chemical or molecular change takes place „ in the tissues? How is It that the slightest change In the composition of the morphia molecule radically alters its : effect? The physician cannot tell. The salts of potassium ami of sodium are almost exactly similar. Yet a minute quantity of the former, injected into a vein, will paralyze the heart and destroy life, while the latter may be turned into the circulation wholesale with ‘ no bad result. Why’ is It? Why’ is so simple a substance as prussic acid so deadly a poison? A thousand of such . questions may be asked. None of them can yet be answered. We know that those things do thus and so. How they d<> it we do not know; but until we do ] medicine will scarcely become an ex- ' act science. That we shall one day attain such knowledge is confidently to be expected. That must be the work ' of chemistry; and when we remember that science of chemistry Is scarcely more than a century old, and when we consider the bewildering scope and importance of its achievements in that century, It is surely not too much to hope great things from its future labors. Butterflies for the Hair. The silversmiths report a big run on she enameled and Jeweled bodies of butterflies. These ornaments have an arrangement at the back which permits the ribbon wings of the color of the gown. The demure maid who clings to her crimpless part, and colls her hair very high on her head may thrust one of these butterflies in at rhe back of the part and so relieve its severity.

Mr. D. M. Cobb, of 1034 I nion avenue, Kansas City, Mo., under date of June 16, 1895, says: "For a number of years 1 have suffered from constipation in its severest form. My liver falling to act for a week, I have tried any number of specifies and have also had physicians prescribe for me, but only received temporary relief. During the early part of the past ' winter 1 had my attention called to Ripans Tabules by a small sign on a telegraph pole, which said ‘One gives Relief.’ I procured a box and was at once attracted by the neat form in which they were put up. Before I bad taken half a dozen doses I began to feel the good effect, especially from the pais I would suffer when my liver was trying to act. I bave now taken ’ three boxes and have no more trouble. My bowels act regular and free and as a result my health is much improved. (Signed) D. M.
