Senator Peffer and Others Talk to the True | ¢j; Commonwealth Club. MORE OF THE “NEEDFUL” WANTED FOR THE COUNTRY--WHAT THE ALLIANCE WILL Do WHEN IT GETS POSSESSION OF THE WHITE HOUSE TWO YEARS HENCE—LESSON OF A SILVER DOLLAR. With his left hand principally engaged in caressing his abnormally long beard and his right pointing in the direction of a large gilt- framed oil painting of the late Mr. Sitting Bull, Senator Peffer of the state of Kansas delivered himself of his second speech within the limits of the District of Columbia. It happened last night at the regular meeting of the True Com- monwealth Club. The meeting was held at the residence of Dr. T. A. Bland, 1121 10th street, and fully seventy people assembled previous to So'clock for the purpose of hearing those arguments which the Senator from Kansas might advance in favor of the methods and Propositions of the Farmers’ Alliance. MONEY 18 CIRCULATION. From the time when the Senator was awarded the floor it was evident that stage fright and ‘Mr. Peffer hud long been strangers. A few com- piimentary references placed the club in entire sympathy with the speaker and he proceeded to diseuss the amouzt of money in circulation. He said that the report of the Secretary of the | Treasury on that subject was unreliable and | calculated to mislead, because the Secretary as- that money lying idle in bank vanitsand safes of private individuals was really in culation. Noone doubted that this enrtail ment of currency brought with it a marked ‘e- preciation of property values and every one must know that it cost more to pay a debt now than it did thirty years ago. Every agricultural product was low at this time. It coat 21 cents 4 bushel to raise corn in Kansas last year and then it had to be sold for 15 cents. Cotton, swine, cattle and sheep haveall depreciated in value. YHE FINANCIAL POLICY OF THE TREASURY. Senator Peffer then turned his attention to the financial policy of the Treasury Depart- ment, which, he eaid, was one of practical Philanthropy. | He readfrom @ nowspaper clip- | ping how the late Secretary of the Treasni ad conferred with Wall sireet whenever mou Decame tight. ‘The practice had been in ope ation for many senrs, but it was inequitable. | That method of pendering public finances hid | brought demoralization. — It was wrong to co to New York to relieve the stringency of the ey market: it was wrong to auticipate pay- it was wrong to purchase the people's indebtedness at a premium.

WILL ACT FOR THEMSELVES. “We have been asking both prrties to help us,” said the Senator, shaking a lengthy fore- finger at the uniformly ruddy countenance of | Mr. 8. Bull, “but they have done nothing. We to act for ourselves.” Then the © give an anarehistic-looking y to relieve his pent-up | soul by a burst of applause. Adam Smith's simile wax ased—money com- red to vehicles on the public highway. Mr. Better said the ‘comparison was geod, because the function of money was to serve @ public use. Wagons bore corn and wheat and cotton and potatoes to the cities and returned the next day with other loads. As those vehicles were 80 was money on the highway of trade. A SULVER. DOLLAR. Suddenly Mr. Petfer stopped speaking, and then commenced a search through bis many pockets, which at last resulted in the produc tion of a silver dollar.

Taylor's public vehicle last night and he drove them to | the thrst precinct station, where they were held | for alleged refusal to pay their far morning they were given a free ride to the Police Court, but as the driver did not appear they were released. ee ‘The Case Went Over. John Chamberlin, proprietor of Chamber lin’s Hotel, corner 15th and I streets, was de- fended in the Police Court this morning by Lawyer C. Maurice Smith. The charge against him was violating the liquor law, it being al- Jeged that his place was kept open after mid- night a week ago. Policemen Kendall and Marshall gave evi- dence in theease. They said they went in the dining room about 12:15 o'clock Sundar morn- ing « week ago and remained there until nearly 1 ‘They had two bottles of beer each gar.

In the case of Ezekiel Cade, indicted for vio- lating the policy act, be withdrew a plea of not guilty ard plead guilty. Mr. Cade made un appeal for leniency on account of his feebleness, being sixty-seven years of age, and Mr. A. B.

The court said he regretted to see a man of his age and int engaged in the breaking of Jaw and the defendant was no more sorry than | Be.

For half auminte or eothe san wrestled with a big pocket book. and then his money-decorated left hand looked as thongh it might belong to a Benning sport who was engaged in yelling ‘make your bets, gentlemen: two to one on Tournament.” He Secmed to be in need of nails, for he purchased nothing else, using, successively, a greeubuek, a treasury note and a silver certificate. “This is silver,” said the Senator, holding up the cart wheel. '+These,” flourishing the bills, “ure all pape. Why is there no difference in their purchasing power? They tell mea gold dollar is worth one hundred cents aud that this silver dollar iv worth but seventy cents, In this silver doilar, then. there is thirty cents’ worth of fiat. This,” taking possession of hi paper wealth, “is also fiat.” [Loud applause.) MONEY Is FOR PUBLIC USE! “Let ns adopt the principle that money is for the public use,” plead Mr. Peffer, and then he went on to say that the government only ought tosuppiy that money. If it was con- ceded that ought to issue money then it must be evident that the gove ment ought to it at just what it costs. He had investigated the bisiness meth- ods of the money lender. In his town there Was u very extensive money-lending establish- ment, so his opportunities hud been good. ‘fhe working expenses of that company amounted to Jess than £20,000, and as the business aggregated £2,000,000 annually the expenses Were but 1 per cent of the amount loaned. Why, then, should people be compelled to pay from 10 to 18 per cent for long time loans and from 12 to 70 per cent on short time loans? If private firm could cover its expenses with 1 per cent of its businews the governmentcould do the same thing, and if the government loaned money at 1 per cent the extra percen' would be saved to the people. ‘There was noth~ ing revolutionary, nothing dishonest in the proposition. 500,000,000 NEW TREASURY NoTEs. An increase in the circulating medium was the Senator's next suggestion. He wants 500,- 000,000 new treasury notes of the denomination of 1. This sumor so much thereof as was necessary he would loan out, 10 per cent of each loan to be puid euch year, 9 per cent to be applied to the extinction of the prineipal in- debtedness and 1 per cent covering the inter- est. In that way he believed it possible to re- deem every mortgaged home in the land within @ period ‘of fifteen years. He wanted the money-isening power taken away from national banks and he thought those institutions should be converted into governmentagencies. If the banks would not do the business the people wi Senator Peffer concluded his speech with the twice repeated statement, “The func- tion of money is to subserve the public use. When that bas been done all the rest will fol- low—pleaty of money and cheap.” GEN. WARNER ON SILVER. Ex-Representative A. J. Warner followed the Kansan and stated that he wae largely in ac- cord with the views expressed. He disagreed with most of them, though, before he got through. Gen. Warner insisted that if the national currency was doubled tonight the value of €2 would tomorrow be but half as much as now. He attacked the demonetization of silver, chal¥ged those who were responsible | for it with being criminals, quoted figures in a popular and pleasing way Aan in- crease of the money volume to maintain the ratio changed by increasin ulation. and then placed his huge buik of good natured and REPRESENTATIVE WM.

M. ©, A. ATHLETICS. An Enthusiastic Meeting in the Gymnasium of the Association. ‘The Y. M. C. A. held an enthusiastic athletic meeting in the gymnasium of the association building, on New York avenue, last night. which resulted in advancing the spirit of exercise and sport among the members to an encouraging degree. Secretary Howard Porry of the C. A. C. made an interesting speech, in which he showed the healthy growth of amateur athletics throughout the country. A fortnight ago, he said, he had been given a great deal of pleas- ure by aiding in making the ¥. M.C. A. a member of the Amateur Athletic Union, with an aggregate inembership of over 50,000, He pointed out the fact that the successful growth of an athletic club coat money, and that care is required to build up such an or- ganization, referring to the establisment and development of the C. A. C. as an instance of the progress of athletics in this vicinity under successiul auspices. He encouraged the new club to yo ahead and to establiah itself firmly on the new grounds and to make itself a worthy rival of the Columbias. VALUE OF HEALTH AND STRENGTH. Ex-president of the association Warner called attention to the value to the community of a young ian with health and strength. Ju- dicious exercise was always beneficial and it always made men’s heads and hearts better. He thougat that there was more in the vigor- our sports of the field to conteract the influ- ence of the cigarette than most noe under- stood. Bad babits seem not to take hold of a strong, well-muscled man. He hoped athletics would be made a prominent feature of the as- sociation from now on. Prof. Simms, the athletic director of the as- | | sociation, drew a contrast between ancient and modern sport and athletica and sho’ much easier and heolthier and bett become an athlete now than it was when such performances were largely professional. Mr. W. E. Woodruff, a member of the board of managers, gave a bird's-eye view of the new park at ith and U streets and showed what a chance there is now offered for excellent work. A bright speech from Mr. T. A. Harding, for- merly the secretary of the association, con- cluded this part of the exercises and a subscrij tion paper was cireulated, with the result of ob- taining pledges of quite a nuinber of sums of all sizes for the support of the new park. pe cima DISMISSING POLICEMEN. What Police Officials Say About the Course of the Commissioners. ‘The actions of the Commissioners in dismiss ing so many members of the police force on charges for which they were formerly fined and cautioned has caused a feeling of uneasiness among the policemen. Many of them claim that it tends to demoralize the force and that many of the officers, instead of being on the lookout for those who violate the law, are kept in such constant fear of being complained of that they are always looking for the sergeant and night inspector. Some of those ex- perienced in the matter of police duty do not approve of the severe course adopted by the Commissioners in dismiexing so many men on charges of intoxication or of failing to patrol their beat. except in eases where the officers are old offenders. The trouble is, so the officials say, that when & good man happens to make a misstep and get intoxicated and he is dismissed there 10 telling what sort of a soldier will be his suc- cessor. “And,” said one of the officials to a Stax re- | porter, “sit would be far better to discipline | that good officer, who understands, and keep | him than to run ‘the risk of getting a worthless member of the army or navy to succeed him.” Continuing, the officer suid he thought that the imposition of fines, where the offenses are not of « serious nature, does more good than summary dismissal. Another reason given was thet the money collected from fines goes to the policemen’s fund and does good in that direc- tion. He thought that no harm would ever be done by giving an officer « chance, even if he is guilty of violating the rules. per cer ata THE TYPO3' HOME. Bids to Be Opened for the Build! rado Springs. Mr. August Donath, presidemt of the board of trustees of the Childs-Drexel Home for Union Printers, left for Denver, Col., this afternoon for the purpose of joining his colleagues, John D. Vanghan of Denver and George W. Morgan of Atlanta, Ga., in opening bids for the erec- tion of the home. The structure is estimated to cost about $50,000 and will be a handsome edifice, some 125 by 40 feet, situated on the land donated the printers for this purpose at Colorado Springs, Col. The beginning of this worthy enterprise was made in June, 1886, when Messrs. George W. Childs and Authony J. Drexel tendered a gift of £10,000, which the typos determined to set aside for the purpose now about to be carried into effect. Since then the inters have themselves added nearly £40,000 to this nest-egg, and large additions to the fund are expec! hen the iustitution is announced as ready to perform its beneficent mission. ‘The warding of contracts, é&c., ix in- trnsted toa building committee composed of the three gentlemen named. —_——_—-- A Talk on Architecture.

Miss Thompson's imitation of Carmencita is a feature of particular merit, and American can almost give the Spaniard Points. The burlesquers as an entirety are food people, and they make «The Dazzler” 1 jazaler indeed. The play also introduces semi- formally the hall in its new name of Academy of Music, under the management of Mr. W. H. ‘apley.

Hannts’.—There was blood on the moon at the Bijou last night. The cause of it all was the first presentation in this city of that thrill- ing border drama entitled “Daniel Boone.” The play is one of the regular border drama variety, althougn it possesses _con- siderable merit. Being of this sort a villain is an indispensable character. ‘There ix one in iniel Hoone,” and from the hiesey he re- ceived (a villain’s greatest applause) he fully came up to all requirements. The hero, of course, was Daniel Boone, and with the excep- tion of alittle too muci makeup he was very ood. The terrifle bo-wie-knife duel in the third act between Blacisish, a hostile Indian, and Daniel Boone was very cleverly and realistic- ally executed. In this act, while the hero is bound to a burning stake, a beautiful bay horse Tushcs on the stage and loosens his bonds. The comedy of the play is furnished by Charles K. French as Sol Bulternut, a frontier darky; Pat MavCarthy, Mr. Joseph Madden, and. Sallie Brush, Miss Lottie Barr, all of whom ably as- ted, with the remainder of the company, which is above the average, to present a wel regulated and well-acted play. Again tonight.

What Is Said About It in Local Base Ball Circles, Folks at base ball headquarters are not very badly broken up over the ‘throw down” of the Cincinnati team to the league, although they are not exactly satisfied. Director Scanlon is by no means disheartened. He says that of conrse it hurts to have Johnson sell out, but that the association can and will stand it and will soon fill the vacancy. Milwaukee is spo- ken of, but it is hardly probable that thia city would jump from its guarantee now, after having “made all arrangements to lay out the reason in the Western Association. Buffalo is really the most likely town after ilwaukee. It ix not thought that there will be any trouble about finding « team to fill out the cirenit. ‘The association meets in Cincin- nati today and will undoubtedly take steps to fill out the territory at once. What hurts the “association worse than any- thing else is that Johnson should have sold ont to the enemy when his own folks were willing to pay him his price. ‘Then, too, today was the time agreed upon for the payment of the guarantee of 51 per cent of the capital stock of the clubs and Johnson sold just in time. ‘Thero is some talk, however, of endeavoring to make him pay this guarantee on the the agreement to pay, which he signed in New York three weeks ago. 1015 14th street northwest.
