His Forces Finely Organized and Well Managed Throuzhont the Contest— The Fight a Good Natured One. Special Dispatch to Tre EVENING STAR.* RICHMOND, Dec. 8.—In the proceedings of last night’s caueus of the democratic members of ‘the legislavure,the noticeable incidents were the attempts of the Barbour men to filibuster With a view to postponement of a nomination and the patient persistence of the Daniel men in forcing a close of the contest, In the initial Proceedings the leadership on both sides was skillful, the filibustering motions being directed by ex-Congressman Fulkerson, for a long time one of Muhone’s leaders in the southwest. As foreshadowed in the dispatches of THE STAR of yesterday, there was no eheck in the current which has ran steadily tn favor of Daniel since the meeting of the legislature, His friends never wavered foran instant, while the Barbour ines were unsteady trom the start. The confi- dence and industry ot the Daniel management unnerved the Barbour men, and their efforts (or several days were seen to’ be directed against an impregnable organization. The Daniel man- agers, after their victory last night, dropped the reticence they have observed pending the contest and revealed a remarltuble organiza- tion. The struggle hus beev conducted in good temper, although some of the supporters of Barbour hint that his party having refused him the reward he sought ior hig services in sending Mahone into political bankhment, he can now properly retire trom the labor and responsibility of the man ment of Lhe state organization. “The Boggle: of the Sth congressional district will keep Mr. Barbour in Congress as long as he lives,” was the quiet comment of Speake: Stuart to-night aiter the adjournment of the ¢aucus. The Daniel men are delighted, but not boastial over their success, and there are no evidences of bad blood on either side. The canvass over the offices controlled by the legisla- ture will be animated, as many of the offices are desirable positions. A Salisbury Cabinet Undecided Whether to Go or to Stay. Spectal Cable Dispatch to THe EVENING STAR. Lonnon, Dec. 8.—The election interest now centers around the struggle between the liberals and the “unholy alliance,” as on this depends Lord Salisbury’s action. It is commonly stated he is anxious now to resign, but his colleagues are most unwillingly. The Zines this morning calls upon him strongly to retain office, I un- derstand that Lord Randolph Chureniil is the only member of the cabinet who has a definite scheme of his own for home rule. Another striking aspect of the elections is the large num- ber of aristocrats, county magnates and pa- tricians who wiil be turned out by large majori- ties by plebians, labor candidates, land reform- ers, crofters, ete. — Lidut.

On both Sides of the chamber the Senators caretnlly noted every utterance of the Executive, When the President's very positive declarations upon the silver question were reached the sentiments of many Senators on that question could be determined by their expressions of counte- nance respectively.

Goo, HH. ‘or Baliimore, presented, in prinied form, alengthy report ot the eomalt: fee on disinfectants, which will be discussed on ursday. ‘Tne report of Dr.J.Borrien Lindsley, ot Nash- ville, Tenn., treasurer of the association, show- ing an expenditure of $2,233.10 and a balance 105.03, was presented. w we are rea@y for the vielen said Dr. Reeves, with # sigh of relief, when the mass of routine business liad been disposed of, READING THE PAPERS, ‘The first paper read was on “Sanitary and Statistical Nomenclature,” by Dr. E. M. Hunt, secretary of the state board of health, Trenton, N.J. It contained many interesting sugges- Hons (at to restrictions to be placed upon the pote of various terms used in sanitary re- S. sree Syren The next paper preseffted was by Dr. J.8. Billings, U.S. A., of this city, in which he sug- gested changes and improvements in “Forms of Tables for Vital Statistics.” After the reading of Dr. Billings’ paper time was given to the discussion of his paper and also Dr. Hunt's paper, Dr. Henry B. Baker, secretary of the state board of health of Lansing, read an interesting Barer on “The Relations of Rainfall and Water uupply to Cholera,” . Baker's paper was illustrated by a num- ber of statistical tables and diagrams upon the statistics of cholera in Calcutta, India, from 1865 to 1884, inclusive, and the meteoro- ical reports for the same period. These tables showed that cholera and. rainfall bore a statistical relation, the mortality being greater in seasons of little rain, and vice-versa. The tables showed also ’ that the mortality was greatly reduced upon the introduction in modern years of good water supply. The doctor thought that if a Supply of good water, had such effect as ap- vared by this comparison upon cholera in its ome, sanitarians here could use the knowledge | ‘thus gained in their efforts to prevent the ap- pearance of cholera, | Dr. D. E, Salmon, D, V.8. of this city, read a paper on “The Virus of Hog cholera.” The | paper drew out a very interesting discussion, which was participated in by Dr. Sinith, of New York; Dr. Salmon, Dr. Bryce, of Canada; Dr. Germer, of Erie, Pa.; Dr. Kennedy, of lowa; Dr. | Cox, of St. Lonis;’ Dr. Carl Horsch, of New | Hampshire; Dr. Jenner, of Detroit and others. Dr. Reed ‘oftered a resolution, which was re- ferred to the executive committee, urging im- mediate logisiation, national, state and mu- nicipal for the protection of the people from the sule of diseased meat. a The next paper was read by Dr. Charles H. Fisher, secretary of the sume bourd of health of Providence, i.

Daniel Manning, the Secretary of the Treasury, in bis annual report states that: the surplus of, receipts over expenditures for the last fiscal year amounts to $17,859,735.84. As compared with the fiscal year 1884 the receipts for 1885 have decreased $24,829,163.54. In the custom receipts this decrease amounts to $13,595,550.42; internal revenue, $9,087.346.- 97; sales of public lands, $4,104,718.57; tax on national banks, $194,507.88; sales of government property, $243,752.67; revenues of the District of Columbia, $4: 428.02, and other items. crease in the expenditures of $16,100,690.7: as follows: War department, $3,240,975.1 Interior department—Indlans, $76,495.34; In- terior department—penstons, $673,039.43; clvil and miscel $16,573,824.68. The de- ture of the Navy depart- Sent, and thefiuterest. on the public. debt amounted to over four millions. The estimated surplus for the fiscal year, 1886, of receipts over expenditures is “$24,250,000, For t r 1887 the estimated deficit is » $24,589, 2.84. “During the year ended October Sist, 1885, the reduction in the annual interest gharge in the public debt amounted to $309; THE LAWS WHICH DISORDER THE CURRENCY. ‘The report calls attention to the disorder of the currency rising trom the coinage act of 1878, which “is overloading the mints with unissued, thesub-treasuries with returned sil- ver dollars, and will unavoidably convert the funds of the T: into those bap rey and depreciating coins.” Also, the disorders to the currency arising froin the “act of May 31, 1878, which indefinitely postponed fulfli- ment ofthe solemn pledge (March 18, 1869,) not only of ‘redemption’ but, also of ‘payment’ ofall the obligations of the United, States pot bearing interest, legalized as $346,000. paper inoney of ubllmited legal tender, and re- the post-redemption issue and reissue of these promises to pay dollars, as equivalents of our monetary unit.” : The Secretary suggests that reform could be promoted. witn sivantage ‘by “repeal of the clause requiring Treasurgpurchases of silver bullion, and repeal of the act making compul- sory Treasury issues and reissues of the legal- tender notes,” ‘THE UNITED STATES MUST STOP COINING SIL- VER. In discussing the practical use of silver and gold as coin, the Secretary says: “Everybody is a {wo-metallist, and wishes the of silver in fractional coins of at least, a limited legal vender. Ri-metallists desire a larger use of sil- ver for coins of unlimited legal tender; but they also wish the use of gold in ‘coins of unlimited legal tender, ¢ * ¢ ¢ In but one way now can any nation retain in use coins of both metals which are both unlim- ited legal tender, namely, by stopping the coinage of the metal unacceptable to other na- tions.” France has done ao. The United States must likewise stop coining silver. Stop, wait, negotiate. And whether negotiations shall suc- ceed or fail, there Is still no other way than to stop where we are, namely at the point where a Fisk begins to appear. of difficulty In retaining silver in our home circulation in full equiva- Jence with our gold unit of value which has ap international circulation.” The roport states that, the 215,000,000, of silver dollars are here, and cannot be expected to sensibly decrease. They cannot go abroad on account of their legal tender character. Nobody will melt them, as the silver melted is worth 20 to 25 per cent less than the silver minted. No silver to be used in the arts and industries will be drawn from this stock. It is not expected that Congress will withdraw trom these silver dollars their full tondgr quality, or redeem and melt them and sefl the metal. “The fact is,” continues the Secretary, “WE CANNOT BUT BE TWO-METALLISTS.” * © 8 “Ifthe facts of our own monetary situation have been correctly ascertained and Stated above, then it is now obvious that gold | and silver monometailism may, without preju- dice to their high rank as mouctary theories, set aside at once us theories practically in- ble, at the present moment, for the of the United States.” ‘The report gives lows: detail, + und lence of thi v lmperiiled by the ¢ age and increasing numbers lars. Thestoppage of the ed the business voiee of the count | of Congress in the opinion of the Seere- tary is not between sil monomet- alism and gold monometaiisin, not becween bimitallism and eitber gold or silver monomet- allism, but “between stopping the coinage of iver dollars, or risking by further coinage the ineqatvalence of those dollars with our mone- tary unit, risking the fall of the value of 215, 000,000 siiver dollars irom their legal domest rating to their commercial international vaine which is 20 per cent less, and involving sucu a disuse in our domestic trade of 550,000,000 dollars ufgold coin, as when gold was ejected. by paper during the war.” Tu discussing the question of coining a heavier dollar, the Secretary suys it Is proposed to treat silver asu commodity. It. howevet, the silver of the doilar is to be deait with as part of the monetary metal of the world, 371.25 grains of fine silver can be made equivaient with 23. grains of fine gold as effectually as 500 grains of fine silver can. The report then goes on_ to show that stopping the cuinage will not affect prices, and that @ poorer dollar reduces the ‘wages of labor. ‘THE TARIFE QUESTION. The Secretary then takes up the subjeet of reform in taxation, and states that like the currency laws, the tariif lawsare a legacy of war. “As nothing in the ordinary course of business is imported unless the price here of the domestic, as well as of the Imported, article ‘shigher by the amount of the duty and the cost of sea-transit than the price abroad, the preference of the tax-payer for duties upon arti- ¢les not produced in the United States isjustified by the fact that such difiies cost him no more than the Treasury of his country gets. As for duties affecting articles that are also produced in phe United States, the first to be safely dis- carded are those pon materials used by- < adopte in Gomestie wucd coin our own mannfoeturers, which now subject | them to @ hopeless competition at home and abroad, with the manulactaring nations, none Of which taxes-raw materials. It is not to ve doubted that in any reform which shall finally receive the approval of the two houses of Con- gress, they will maturely consider and fayor- abiy tegurd the interests which can only grad- ually and carefully be adjusted, withput loss, to changes In the legislative conditions for their Advancing prosperity.
