Further excuses for failure of prosperity to srrive will | not be tclerated. Gov. Drake, of Iowa, has dropped out of the race for a renomination. The party is down on him from some cause and a fight was being waged against him. The Democratic State Central Committee of Rhode Island unani- mously adopted a resolution that in case the reeignation of President Andrewe, of Browa University is accepted ha ba selected as ths can didate of the party for United States Senator. President Andrews views publicly expressed on the silver question did not meet with the ap- probation of the board of trustees, and the resignation of the president rather than surrender his political rights followed. Senator Mark Hanna, in speaking of the efforts to settle the coal min ere’ strike by arbitration, said: “I am in favor of avy plan that will better the condition of the men; that is the main poms of the eitua- tion. Their condition needs better- ment, everybody knowe, and I will give my hearty support and co-oper- ation to any movement looking toward that end. Presant methods are in many respects inadequate, uniformity is lacking, and that is something I have always advocated.” Bil Smitb, nominated for post- master at Sweet Springs, Mo, failed to “cut the mustard.” Just as he reached to pluck the plum, Senator Vest interposed objections and the confirmation of G. “Bili” Smith, nominated for postmaster at Sweet Springe, was refused cn the grounds of “senatorial courtesy.” As it is an unwritten law of the senate to refuse to confirm poatmasters at the homes of Sanators where the latter consider them objectionable, “Bill” Smith will not hand out mail at Sweet Springs. Mrs. Charlotte Smith, the reformer and protector of women, has pre pared a memorial for congress which seeks to compel men to marry. She believes in making marriage com- pulsory and wants a law enacted to that effect She suggests the estab- lishment of national matrimonial bureaus throughout the country, and have all the marriageable men toe the mark. She has selected Jerry Simpson to present her memorial to congress at the next sessicn Mrs. Smith has struck the keynote, and her plan and suggestions will meet with the hearty approbatioa of all the girle.

Office ceakers who have bzen hanging around Washington for the past two or three months in hopes "|! that the president would do some- thing for them in the closing hours of congress, veiled their faces in sadness Saturday as they took their departure for home. Of the disap- pointed, Missouri had her full share. It was anticipated that the president would sand to the senate for con firmation during the closing bours a list of appointments for the state. Instead he sent only two post masters for Missouri: Jefferson Swanger at Milan and Frank M. Filson, post- master at Cameron. The nomiaation of Peter VauMatre, postmaster at Warrevsburg, was confirmed. EXPECTS TO BE DEPOSED. Czar Reed Rather Looks for a Democratic House Next Time. Washington, D.

Mr. Burrows of Michigan, was the first republican sevator to speak on the conference report. His speech was in connection with the lumber schedule. He said that the rate of duty on lumber were the lowest rates in the bill, being only from 15 to 18 per cent ad valorem and only 10 per cent on white pine at $2 per 1,000 feet. The consideration of the tariff conference report was continued and Mr. Morgan took the floor.

The Message on Finance Sent to Congress. Washington, D. C., July 24.—The President sent the following mee- sage to Congress this afternoon: To the Congress of the United States: In my message convening the Con- gress in extraordinary session, I called attention to a single subject— that of providing revenue adequate to meet the reasonable and proper expenses of the Government. I believed that to bethe most pressing subject for settlement then The bill to provide the neceseary revenues for the government has already patsed the Houre of Repre sentatives and the Senate, and awaits executive action Another question of very great importance is that of the eatablieh- ment of our currency, and banking system on a better basie, which I commented upon in my inaugural address in the following words: NEEDS REVISION. “Our financial system needs some reyision; our money is all good now, but its value must not further ba threatened. It should all bs put up- on an enduring basis, not sabject to easy attack nor its stability to doubt or dispute. Tbe several forms of our paper money offer, in my judgment, 8 constant embarassment to the gov ernment and imperil a eafe balance in the Treasury.” Nothing was settled more clearly at the late national election than the determination upon the part of the people to keep their currency stable in value and equal to that of the moet advanced nations of the world. The soundness of our currency is that a special commission be cre non-partisan in its character, to composed of wellinformed gi of different parties, who will ¢ mand the contidence of Congress the country becauee of their epee fitness for the work, whose duty if shall be to make recommendatio of whatever changes 1 our pre banking and currency laws mey be found necessary and expedient ani to report’ their conclusions on ¢¢ before the first day of Nove next, in order that the same may transmitted by me to Congress its consideration at its first re session. It is to be hoped that the ri thus made will be so compre and sound as to receive the su of all parties and the favorable of Congress. At all evente, such a report not fail to be of value to the E tive branch of the government, well as to those charged with f legislation, and to greatly aes’ the establishment of an improvi system of finance. : Wriuiam McKrsier Executive Mansion, July 24, 1 Tramps Fight, Sicux City, Io..
