Jir"Itrfiay be-that through techni­calities congress will worry along with the silver question- until .the members exhaust the -patience of the whole, country. It is only the compulsorjf purchasing clause of the Sherman bill that requires to be repealed. There is silver bullion enough now in the treas­ury vaults to keep the mints running night and day throughout President Cleveland's term. If si lver coin is needed, it would be better to work that up before more is purchased, and re­deem the certificates in that coin. Get the silver in circulation and make it useful. Turn out millions in the new styles of dimes, quarters and half dol­lars, and let the people hoard them if they are in the hoarding business. Meantime the influx of gold from Europe continues at the rate of over a mil l ion dollars a day.

f£TA. special dispatch from New York last Saturday morning said: "The premium on currency came very nearly disappearing to-day. Early in the day the ruling rate was 2 per cent, and at the close of business 1 per cent, was the highest premium. The brokers w h o make a specialty of dealing in cur­rency have all along foreseen that the premium was temporary and to-day they did, not buy at all in advance of orders. In other words, they accepted orders and then endeavored to fill them. The indications are that the premium will continue for a few days longer, for the reason that many employers do do not pay off until Monday, but after that the money brokers expect the business to be very light. The premium on currency coutinues to bring out hoarde 1 money and this together with the imports of gold from Europe and the unusual additions to national bank noter'cireflation, seems likely to bring affairs to a normal condition."

H f T h e plan seems to be general among all trades that a reduction of ten per cent, in wages shall take effect Sep­tember 4st . This is "among the iron workers, weavers, spinners, stone and marble quarries, tailors, and nearly all branches of business except house builders, masons and carpenters In some instances the reduction is made in hours of work, and in rare cases the works are put on half and two-thirds time. The demand for manufactured goods has greatly fallen off. The msn can even things up by saving the wages they earn, stopping the leaks, of which there are a good many. If they try they can make expenses even through he cut in wages until the times bright-• n up. ________________

{^"Minneapolis was visited by a ter­rible fire last Sunday afternoon, de-troying over two million dollars worth of property. Two hundred houses were burned and 1500*persons left homeless. T w o huge lumber yards are included among the losses, one of them having fully ten million feet of lumber, and another sixty million feet, the latter be­ing worth $750,000. The" losses are mostly coyered by insurance, but one firm of boiler manufacturers, whose loss is $50,000, havn't a cent of insur ance. Everything was dry as tinder, and a spark from one fire would soon start in -another place rods away. It wil l take months and years to recover from such destruction of property.

gentleman over here from [ Seneca County last Friday morning in-•formed us that Under-Sheriff John Woods had commenced proceedings against the Waterloo Observer editor for libel, instead of making any ex­planations of his g iving bail for a man at Watkins. Mr, Stahl has had the of­fensive side before the public and Mr. Woods the defensive. The suit thus commenced makes Mr. Stahl the de­fendant and loads him with the burden of proof. It is intimated to us also that the publisher of a Saturday paper in Geneva may also become defendant in a similar suit. If so. it will make the courts pretty l ively for a time. A n y way, as a result of these libel suits the people are l ikely to find the truth of the matters in controversy.

Sterling minister. Rev. David Harold Snowden, pastor of the Congre­gational Church, in his opening prayer on Sunday morning, said: " "O, Lord, bless the president of the United States, stand by him in his arduous duties; bless also the governors of the different states, especiallv the governor of Illi­nois. Be a light to him in his darkness, wisdom to him in his ignorance, but above all make his heart as soft as his head. Teach him that this is a govern­ment of the people, and by the people, and for the people, and that he can in nowise become the government and the people."—Chicago Herald.

f ^ " T h e Chicago Herald says: ' 'Fou r million more people would have attend ed the fair, in Juue and July but for the high rates extorted by the railroads. This money loss to the fair is directly chargeable to railroad greed, and the railroads have lost more than the fair by their policy." It is a mighty good thing for the people that it is so. They will need the money before the snow of next winter is gone. Better stay at home and take care of the dollars; or better yet, if people have any debts pay them!

|9^"Congressmeu began last Friday to talk on the currency question, and we may look forward to a great deal of wind until August 28th, when a vote is to be taken. The vote is what the peo pie are looking for with most impa­tience. Long winded orations will not relieve the country from the tremen­dous pressure now bearing it down. The point is to quit the compulsory pur­chase of silver, buy it only as it is want­ed for coining purposes, and the quicker they do this the'better. Congress could come to a vote this week and .go home.

J3F~Lieut. Peary seems to be in hard luck, having lost some of his dogs. His ship is now at Labrador, or was the first of August. He wanted to proceed immediately to Greenland and send |he Falcon back, but has been delayed be cause of the lack of dogs. It isn't all kinds of dogs that will do for his busi­ness, or he could have loaded his ship with them in New York.

)oes it occur to the general read­er that the men who are hustling for money are those who are supposed to a lways have dead loads of it? That's just what's the matter. Labor has al­ways been . making a strong fight against capital, striking, and raising the devil, but when capitalists have no capital, what are we going to do? Per haps people who do not worry over mi l l i ons . of m o n e y have little understanding of the subject. With all Geoige Gould's millions, he could not raise five mill ions in money to save his life. ,

f y M a y o r Harrison of Chicago is an Alarmist of the most alarming kind. H e says there are ovue 200,000 unem­ployed men in that city, who will soon be crying for bread, and that threate of violence are filling the air. H e ca l l s . o n congress for aid. W h a t aid can congress give? I t might turn over the treasury to this army. There's land enough for them, and it is a poor man who could not get his l iving on eighty acres of land. Carter Harrison should g e t —. string and tie up bis mouth.

' j y i t is not fct all a safe guide, but there have bees two l ines in the New York stock reports thai we bare watch «4 pretty closely for some time, with the result that th*y have been way down the first two days in the week, about medium the t w o middle days and way up- the two h u t days. These stocks are N e w York Central and Chicago & Northwestern, both good interest pay-injrinvestments, t h e first fisre per cent. , the latter six per cent. Parties who wanted to invest, not o n margins', but buy and pay for the stock, might well have watched these41uctu»tfons,

£ £ T T b e telegrams say that as a vote in the house on the silver bill by agree­ment cannot be taken until the end of fourteen days, all but the windy mem­bers have left the city, hied themselves off to coolerjretreats. Barely a quorum is present at any session. Speech making commenced in the Senate yesterday,and Senator Vest kicked over the traces, coming out in opposition to the Presi­dent.

j ^ f E v e r y department of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing is now working ten hours a day, and they are turning out National Bank bills at the rate of over a million dpllars a day. When this gets into circulation there will be money enough^ and people won't care to hold on to it as they are doing now. It will not surprise us if rates of interest drop to five per cent.

report came from Washington last Thursday night that President Cleveland's illness is more serious than hip friends seem wil l ing to admit. His i l lness and the oppressive heat of the citv were enough to send him back to Buzzard's Bay, where he intends to re­main until September, perhaps late in the month. Washington is n o town for a northern man in summer.

H f F r o m items that have dropped in the daily press, there's something be­yond rest and his o w n health that will keep the President at Buzzard's Bay for the next few weeks. A t first we were inclined to believe, that he was serious­ly i l l; , but we may have occasion to give another item of news soon,

n its railroad notes of last Satur day the N e w York Sun says that the relations between the Beading and Le­h igh Val ley are t o be continued on friendly terms, running precisely as be­fore, but possibly on separate manage­ment, and that it will not affect the price of coal. The hitter wil l ' prove a disappointment to the people. •

Na Man Weald Do It.

Mr. Jtftfor: ! I n the A D V E R T I S E S of August 1st J

read with n o little indignation the ar? t i d e headed 'ThreshM his Sister's Hus­band." Now my indignation was not aroused by' the threshing, for to one not withheld! by the deep, stern respect for the law this appears a very natural method of indicating or avenging abuse of a sister by a wife-beating or striking husband. So this wife striking was the subject of m y exceedingly seri­ous indignation, and it seems to me warrants a few considerations.

As a people, we Americans pride our­selves upon our advanced civilization, and upon this if we had no Christian­ity, the chivalrous respect shown all women by all men everywhere, and the tender consideration shown all wives by husbands in al l classes of so­ciety? is due. For a man to give a blow to any woman, even under the most exasperating circumstances imaginable, is considered low and brutal, and very few men will so far forget their dignity and their manhood as to do it.

If I mistake not this is assault and battery, and a penitentiary offense. That a wife will hesitate to com­plain or invoke the law against her husband does hot lesson the ignominy of this crime. Man and, wife cannot a lways see eye to eye, con not a lways understand things the same way, ana words of difference must often arise. The wife may have a l ively tongue, and may be very exasperating at times. In this battle of words the woman can hold her own. Let us not meddle, but let all Christendom, and the rest of civ­ilized humanity as well, hold up hands of horror and cry aloud against that man or husband who so far forgets his manhood as to descend to that most

barbaric and brutal method of conclud­es-

ing an'argument with a woman, espec­ially a wife, by a blow!

Most men feel a justifiable pride in their physical strength. They rejoice that they are strong of limb and reso­lute of purpose, that they may band together in the blessed close relation of huaband in their home, and cherish as their o w n flesh and help in every way the one woman who has given herself and %11 her hopes of earthly happiness into the keeping of her husband, and will scarcely descend to a retaliating,

.stinging, unkind word with the wife, to say nothing of the disgraceful degra­dation of a blow! READER,

Didn't Know Him.—Mr. Graves, the Postmaster, (tells of a pretty good thing happened a couple of years ago, which we believe has never been in print, but it will pass as about as good a thing as ever occurred in that line. He was in New York, and was walking a long Broadway when he came'face to face with a Genevan whom he had met sev­eral times a day on the streets, in the bank, and alt other places. Common politeness iuduced Ijim to speak, and reaching out his band said, "How are you, Mr. X? W h e n did you come down?" But with visions of bunco men and confidence operators in his mind, Mr. X did not return the hearty

'hand grasp expected. He merely re­plied, "I don't know you sir: I don't know you." "Don't know me! why, I am Henry Graves. I've seen you in Geneva every day for the last twenty years, done business with you in Mr. Chew's bank scores of times." "Can't help it," said X, never saw you before; don't want anything to do with y o u ; get out of my way!" Mr. Graves thought the man crazy but passed it off as a joke. A few weeks later the party entered the bank with a check made payable -o his order, Henry happened to be in the cashier's cage at the time. He looked at the check an instant and then handed it back saying "You will have to be identified; I don't know you, sir." kiDont know me!" said X , "I've done business at this bank ever since it was started, and everybody here knows me ." "I can't help that," said Mr. Graves. "& map who don't me in New York I don't know him in Ge? neva." Well ,of course X got his money, bul it took some time to convince liim that the teller at the First National Bank and the bunco man in N e w York were not two different persons.

Horatio Seymour's Prophecy.

The warlike speeches of Gov. Waite and other citizens of Colorado, recall a prophecy made by ex Governor Horatio Seymour a short time before his death. "The next conflict," said Governor Seymour, "in this country will be be­tween the east and west, The interests of the two sections are naturally an­tagonistic, aind will grow more and more so as the years roll by. The time will come very soon, in m y judgment, when it will require very wise states­manship to prevent an open rupture between the east and the west. I am afraid that these two sections of our country are drifting, further and fur­ther apart every year. On the other haud, N e w York, JJP.W England, Penn­sylvania and Ohio are drawing closer to the late ponfedepate* Sjajes. The south has bad all it wants of rebellion; it will never start another fight to get out of the union. But I can see signs of growing trouble in the west. The cloud is not very large now, but it wil l bear watching. If we ever have an­other civil war it will be between the east and the west, Mark the perdic-tion.'*—Yonkers Gazette.

Scarcity of Water.—A dispatch from Binghamton has this i tem: "The city is threatened with a water famine. The water in the wells from which the en­tire supply is» drawn is very low and the authorities are afraid that in case of a big fire the supply would be exhaust­ed. The people of the city have been warned t o Ibe economical with the water, especially i n sprinkling lawns. The threatened drouth is, causing con­siderable consternation.", probably the city would Ibe wi l l ing t o submit to a tax of $20,001) a year to get such a sup­p ly of water as Geneva has. The time was, before the introduction of the pumping station, that our people were cautioned about leakage and wasting,

W tbm's m »»»»• flf & i?ow- Pi* company can supply pyery demand, and our citizens should bp devoutly thankful. There l s no lawn sprinkling IB Rochester, either; that city is in great strajtefop water, although there's no Jack of beer.

between The points of evidence between the

Middlesex Valley and Northern Central

Rai lway Couipanies were contested

inch by inch at every stage of J,he pro­

ceedings, and with great euergy, and

legally the examination was a severe

battle from beginning; to end.

The commissioners handed in their re­

port last Tuesday, awarding the defend­

ants, the Northern Centra^ Compauy

$100, and providing for the proposed

grade crossing at Stanley. It was also

decided that a system of s ignaling pro­

posed by Chief Engineer Uniacke of

the Middl.&ex Val ley railroad should

be used in preference to the more ex­

pensive system demanded by the North­

ern Central people.

It is difficult to tell when the work of

grading and building between Stanlev

and Geneva will commence. All that

can hinder it now is the stringency in

the money market. If that lets up we

may expect to see the dirt flying before

the first of September.

Hooray! Several times.

HUBKAH FOR THE MIDDLESEX VALLEY RAILROAD THROUGH TO £ E N E V A !

The decision of the commissioners yesterday as to the amount of "damage for the Stanley crossing electrified the people of Naples and vicinity and in fact all a long the l ine of the road. It was well understood that the amount claimed by the Northern Central was way up in the thousands; so unreason­able that it was plain that their object was to prevent a crossing, if possible, but they overreached, and after a thor­ough investigation of the merits of the case, the above result was reached. W e also learn that of the t vo signaling schemes proposed, the commissioners adopted that presented by engineer Uniacke in preference to the one pro posed by the Northern Central, thereby reducing the cost $8,000 or $10,000. For these decisions, great credit is due, not only to Judge Metcalf, who so ably presented the case for the new road, but to Chief Uniacke and his able assistants for their carefully prepared maps and data. It is indeed a great victory for the Middlesex Valley Railroad, and its management is to be heartily congratu­lated.0 It is presumed that an appeal will he taken as to the question of dam­age, but the right to cross i- established and doubtless work will begin as soon as possible on the extension,— Naples Record.

W e guess the people all a long the line of the railroad between here and Naples feel pretty good over the result.

An Interesting Scrap of History.

A number of the enterprising and public spirited citizens of Halls Corners some time ago inaugurated preparations for the erection of a public assembly house and hall near the railroad station in that village which have developed into something very advantageous to that place. The original idea of those who had the scheme in charge was to build a spacious building which could be used alike for public meetings and for social entertainments, and plans were drawn up with that object in view. The idea proved to be so heart­i ly shared in by the citizens at large that the dimensions were considerably extended and the edifice, as it is now proposed to erect it. will be a much more commodious and durable one. About 1820 there was organized near Hal ls Corners an association* which took the name of The Society for the Apprehension of Felons, and into the treasury of this organization were an­nual ly placed sums amounting to con­siderable, which were kept for the pur­pose of prosecuting the mission of the members. As time passed nearly all of the members of tbe association died op moved away and the moneys in the treasury of the society were seldom drawn upon. The moneys accumula­ted and have reached an amount suffi­cient to defray the expense of erecting the building mentioned, and the citi­zens have decided to use the fund for that purpose, so that no individual as­sessment will be made. It is interest­ing to know, in connection with the old Society for the Apprehension of Felons, that during the entire period of its existence, something over eighty years, the funds have been drawn up­on but once for the purpose of arrest and conviction.— Rocliester Democrat, Aug. 11.

Qur old friend Edward Turnbull was treasurer, of tju> f^pd. durjpg Ins life­time, and he sought a good many means to get it out of his hands, turn it back to the members; or invest it, but his schemes did not work. The above is a wholesome plan, and will be apprecia­ted by all Who l ive in that vicinity^

A Fine Monnment From Geneva.

A few days ago we announced that Mr. W . - G . Potter ^vas about to go to Cazenovia to put up an elegant monu­ment in the cemetery there to cost about $3,000. H e has completed the work and it evidently g ives the best of satisfaction. Mr. Potter has also erect­ed a large and handsome monument of Quincy granite at East Bloom field on the lot of the late Henry Hamlin, se­curing the contract in competion with 'Rochester and others in this vicinity. The Cazenovia Republican of last week has the fol lowing al lusion to his work there:

THE HOWARD MONUMENT.

One of the finest and largest monu­ments ever set up in this >yicinity was erected in Evergreen, cemetery last week by George Howard, a former resi dent of this* place, but now of Wyom-. ing County. It occupies one of the most beautiful sites near the west side Of the cemetery. The material used is Barre granite .from the "well k n e w n quarries in Vermont. There are four 'bases, the bottom one is seven feet square and weighs* over seven tons. Upon the front or west side of the third base is the name Howard iu heavy five-Inch block letters. The die has all the faces high polished and polished col­umns at the corners surmounted by heavy carved caps. Upon the west face of the die are carved the names of Mr. Howard's parents, Pratt Howard and Caroline Dobbin, his wife, with date of death and age of each; also the name of Mr. Howard. Upon the die rests the main cap, which weighs about four and one half tons, and has polish­ed and carved work on a l l sides, Next above this is the plinth which is heavy inoulded and has in polished raised old English letters the words "They that ^Iwelt under his shadow shall return,"

wo words being on each face. Stand­ing upon the plinth and surmounting he whole monument ' is a statue of

]*Memory" seven feet in height, hold­ing in her hand a wreath of flowers nd on her head a chaplet. The total reight of the monument is nearly wenty feet and its weight is over twen­

ty tons. The work was furnished by fy . G. Potter & Son, of Geneva, N . Y. , ai a cost of $3,000. It is indeed a great addition to our cemetery, and the best description that we can g ive but poorly sets forth its grace and beauty. It ijnust be seen to be ful ly appreciated.

! Can Vote N««w.—Mrs. McConnell, who has been an active member of the tax

rform league for many years, was' not little surprised when she came to pay

tjiax for a widow woman yesterday to find her assessed for a poll tax. She rather' ijejoiced over it, as bringing women on tjhe some level with m e n ; for she ar­gues, if we pay a poll tax and are able tjo show our receipt, we are entitled to

pte. The collectorssa"ys he has collect-d this poll tax from a large number of omen. It strikes us that the assessors ve been doing some good work for

ttibe corporation in taking in al l th••

omen on poll tax. It will insure eir re-election. Now if- the collector

will exercise his full duties, and collect every poll tax down on the books, that ftind would ful ly pay all the expense of street cleaning, for with the women ad.de4 >t ought to reaph/. $|.0QO. Per­haps another year we can bring in the kids also and bring the amount up to |J8.000 or $10,000, and so make noest i mate for street expenses in the budget.6

A Home on Wheels. —Prank W i l c o x , his wife and his six. small daughters ar­rived in this city yesterday afternoon in a wagon which has carried them all the way from San Francisco. Sixteen years ago W i l c o x left shis home in Wat ­erloo, N . Y . , and started \yith a wagon and several horses oh his travels.

When that time arrived, they went to their wagons to bring out the baskets, and soon discovered] that they had been anticipated. Baskets, grub, ajll gone. The thieves hat} considerate­ly left the horses and the wagons, the air and the cool breezes of tho lake, but t(ie latter two things don't interest men ap.d women, especially farm people, with yearning appetites, for. there were spring chickens, t boiled e_gs,„ potato chips, white bread, cake, picl ties, jellies, fruits, Sec., in "them baskeU;,"all gone Where the 'woodbine twine th.

—It was reported a few days ago that the silver plating companies of Lyons had shut down for an indefinite period, but the story is den fed by the Lyons Dem. Press. It says that' all are ruu» ning on reduced time.

—It is said that gold coin could be had at a discount for greenbacks in New York a few days ago. This is queer. What's the matter with the government presses? Still i t i s far bet­ter that way than to have gold at a big premium.

—Superintendent of Pudlic Instruc­tion Hon. James F. Crocker has ap­pointed'Prof. A. C. Mclkchlan, form­erly principal of the schools of Seneca Falls, substitute conductor of Teachers' Institutes in New York. The salary is $2,500 a year and necessary expenses.

—The Canandaigua Messenger- says "Station Agent Reed of the N. Y-Central says that the reduction of wages, in the form of short time,affects )

all track men and other day help, but not the office hands; and then adds: Yesterday, after the foregoing was in type, an order was received, reducing the working time of the office force enough to make a 10 per cent, cut in wages, besides which each man is to be laid off five days without pay." This will be tough if wages there are no bet­ter than here.
