Suse | firwt Com A TALK WITH MK. HOLMAN. He Severely Scores tie Extravagance of the Congress Just Closed. NEXT WINTER THE MAIL SUBSIDY WILL BE RE- PEALED, THE TARIFY CHANGED, A FREE COIN- AGE BILL PASSED AND {PROVISIONS MADE TO ELECT SENATORS DIRECTLY BY THE PEOPLE. Mr. Holman of Indiana, who has always, since he first entered public life, been an inter- esting character, will probably be one of the most conspicuous men in the next Congress. As the great champion of extreme oconomy in public expenditures, his policy comes in contrast with that of the Con- gross just passed out of existence, and in the in- auguration of a new “reform” of expendi- tures he will naturelly come forward again as & XR. KOLMAX. public advocate of re- tronehment and reforra. He isone of the most interesting talkers in Congres, but unforti- nately hik remarks are seldom heard in the galleries when he makes a speech on the floor of the House, because of the peculiar qualities of his voice and his indistinct enunciation. His long experience in public life, the keen eye with which he has observed tnings during his publ + and the philosophical thought be has given to all subjects, releting to t make his conversation extremely expecially when he is talking with- out reserve and giving expression to his inner- most thoughts. When he geta interested in a subject he discourses upon it with considerable nervous energy. passing from one thought to another and through all the branches of the subject with remarkabie fluency. Always while talking on such occasions he walks back and forth about tie room, giving a peculiar emphasis to his words at every tarn in hia per- ambulation. HOLMAN AND CANXO¥. A Srar reporter had a talk of an hour's dura- tion with him the other day, in which reminis- cence and prediction were blended in a way to both interest and inform. Holman ani Canzon different sorts of economists, besides dif- fering in the degree of their enthusiasm, but they have a sort of kindred feeling and are rather fond of exch other. The reporter has talked with the two of them together in the ap- propristions cominittce room. ‘They were the only legislators in the dusty and deserted Cup- itol building, and had come there to att one or two smell matters yet remaining to be looked after before leaving for the long sum- mer recess. ‘The conversation started with reference to the future of some of the members who have not been elected to the next House and from that drifted into a more formal interview. It as remarked by Mr. Cannon that a certain ex- member wax moderately well off, “worth a hun- 0 thousand, said the Indiana economist, ‘that is T'do not see what any man could want rich. with more than a hundred thousand dollars. I do uot want that much. If I could have just ag much money as I would ask for I would take no more than forty thousand: that would be a nice fortune to leave for one’s family. With as much I would not think it necessary to do any- thing for the rest of my life. More would be a burden and a source of annoyance. WHAT $200,000 covLD Do. “Pshaw,” said Cannon banteringly, “if you had 200,000 think of all you could do with it, and it would not be enough. After you had given afew dinner parties each month, when you had a saddle horse for yourself, x nice quiet m and carriage for your wife to drive about with and a pair of stendy horses for your own use to a coupe, to take you to and from the Capitol, you would soon see that $200,000 was very little money. For my purt if I could have an income of filty thousand a year on 4 per | cent bonds, so as to hav@a sure thing, I should | be satisfied.” 5 |. “No, no,” replied Mr. Holman, waving his af to ward off temptation and still ing seriously, though with an evident ap- preciation of the bantering spirit in which the other spoke, “I would not have it. The height of wy ambition is to have one horse and @ baggy to drive about with. If I could afford that I should not want any grand equipage. What are the hundreds of other people who have to toil and struggle for enough bread to eat going to do if singl» individuals hold large fortune: of upward of £200,000 Every one ambitious for wealth should think of that. The prayers ‘I want neither poverty nor wealth,” is one that should be on every man’s lips. Extrem: poverty is a bad thing. but I doubt if excessive weulth is any more to be de sired. Comfort is enough. I think sometimes of how the public men of fifty yearsago very simply and at small expense “and remem ber that they were as comfortable and as con tented as any of today are. When the salary of a Congressman was but $8,000 a year I lived as well and was as happy as I now am on $5,000. We lived near the Capitol building. Nearly all the men in Congress lived in this neighborhood then—all along Missouri avenue and 2d street and 3d street: all abont where none of them Will live now. Public men then lived economic- ally.” TRE CASE OF WEDSTER AND 1118 DERTS. “You forget,” broke in Mr. Cannon, ‘to go deep enough into history. Think of Webster up to his ears in debt and Corcoran here mak- ing him a present of $10,000 and of his dying and leaving his debts to his friends. “No, Webster was not a philosopher. He was a peculiar man and his case was exceptional. He was a man who would borrow money to meet some pressing demand and before he got Lome with it would give it to some one whom he met in distress, forgetting the object for which he borrowed it. I bold that there is greater happiness and comfort in simplicity of living. It is now raised to x more expensive seale and | we all feel it. Our saleries today do not seem | to go us far as did the smailer salaries of earlier days. HOLMAN WANTS A FARM. “It has long been an idea with me to havea farm—a larger farm than that I have, which I inherited from my father, a hundred acres. Early in the fifties I went to Towa and took up a farm of 240 acres with land warrants, intend- ing to some time make a home of it. but soon afterward I was elected toCongressand changed all my plans as to going west tohve, Ibeld that farm, paying taxes on it, with ‘the idea that come day it aight increasc’ in value, until | ter years ago, when 1 sold it for #5 an acre. Soon after L sold it coal was discovered on it da mine is operated there now, the royalty om which, if had it, would make me as large an income as I would want.’ ‘The conversation drifted on to matters re- lating to the Fifty-tirat Congress. “What do you think of this Congress?” I asked. HOLMAN'S IDEA OF THE LAST CONORESS. “It was the worst in the history of the coun- try,” was his prompt reply. “Yes, I mean it. It was bad in its methods and in all its sur- roundings, and, worst of all, it has made a precedent which will likely have a bad infla- ence upon the country for all time. It has raised the standard by which extravagance will be judged in the futnre and rendered greater extravagance liable. The individual tiuence dominated. ‘The warm admirers of Mr. Ke around him; but, with possib! of Mr. Keifer, I think been a Speaker before who as many enemies among the members his own party as bas Mr. Re | have talked to me about the way in which mem- the peculiar methods v .

Speaking of the mail subsidy bill act Mr. Holman said: “Ieannot estimate the cost of = law with any accuracy. I suppose the cost faring the first year may amount to two or three millions, and, basing my figures on those movie by the shipoing experts on the original enbsidy bill, which would have cost mach more than this will, I should say that inthe ten years that the first contracts may run it would cost Upward of $30,000,000. But,” he added, “I do not think the-subsidy will ‘stand. I believe that one of the things that will be done early in | the first session of the next Congross will be | the repeal of that law. There is a strong senti- ment in this country against subsidies, so strong that daring the entire existence of the govern- ‘ont but $12,000,000 have been expended in tway. I think the thing which arousod the | fuemere most promptly to antagonism to the | MeKiniey bill was the sugar bounty. I think | when the next Congross meets there will be a jSentimen: nguinst this steamship subsidy | strong enough to warrant the sacrificing of an appropriation bill to secure the repeal of the We Now Ir CAN BE REPEALED. “An act repealing the subsidies, I think, can be attached to oue of the appropriation bills in | order to force the Senate to accept it. ‘The ad- | ministration could not afford to let the legisla- tive bill fail to save this obnoxions law, but we could afford to kill that appropriation bill if the Senate refused to help the House repeal the I think the law will be repealed. By the irony of circumstances, if this law should Temain on the statute books, for the first few | years the Pacitic Mail Steamship Company, | which once bought its way through Congress and which is owned largely by foreign capital- ists, will get the chief benefit of the subsidy, while ite principal rival, which is owned almost exclusively by Americans, will get no benefit from the subsidy und will be placed at a poxi- tive disadvantage because their ships are not of American bnild. American vossels today are sailing under flage of all nations, except the American flag and, perhaps, the Turkish. DISCRIMINATION AGAINST AMERICAN CITIZENS. “In denying American registration to these vessels American citizens are being discrimi- nated against. But I think the Senate will never agree to American registration of for- cign-built ships. They would sooner let the subsidy act be repcaled than agree to that. If it were not that we have such an immense stretch of coast this policy of oxcluding foreign ships from American registration would be « wise one, for it is important that we should maintain ship yards in this country. But the vessels engaged in the coastwise ‘trade must be of American build anyhow, and, with the extent of our coast, this trade will be sufficient to keep up our ship yards, and we can well afford to permit Americans to buy their ships \1 for the trans-oceunic trade.” “It is argued,” the reporter suggested, ‘that there is as much warrant for this subsidy for the carrying of mails by steamers as there is for the high rates paid to the railroads for the land transportation.” RATES FOR RAILROADS ARE EXCESSIVE. “The rates paid for the carrying of the mails on the subsidized roads,” Mr. Holman replied, “are excessive. The Honse has tried to have them reduced, but the Senate always stands in the way. Thero can be no gforme as long as the Senate is elected ax it now is. Those gen- tlemen who Constitute that body are too far removed from the people. They are not in touch with the public and do not feel the im- pulse that moves the masses. There will be no reforms until the Senators are elected directly by the people.” “Do you think this change i brought about in the near future?’ TO ELECT SENATORS DIRECTLY NY THE PEOPLE. “I will venture my reputation for good judg- ment upon the prediction that almost the first thing done at the opening of the Fifty-second Congress will be the passage of a resolution to amend the Constitution, requiring the election of Senators by the people, and it will become a law. ‘There is a strong sentiment in favor of it and the change is almost at hand. The meas- ure will be introduced in the house as soon 28 Congress meets and there will be very little delay in its passage. It will go to the ‘Senate early enough to give them plenty of time to act upon it, and Senators, whether they like it or not. cannot afford to defeat the measure. A popular sentiment will demand the change, and for Senators to oppose it would be con- strued to signify a fear on their part to. trust their fates to the will of the people. I_ predict that the present method of electing Senators will very soon be done away with.”” “What do you think will be done about the tariff in the next Congress?” was asked. ‘THE TARIFF AND FREE COINAGE. “Before the first of February the Honse will send a tariff bill to the Senate. It will be a bill making a moderate reduction of duties on lines compliant with the demands of the people, and very considerably increasing the size of the free list.” “And as to silver?” “I believe the next Congress will pass a free- coinage act. There ix a question about the propriety of giving the benetit of the difference etween the coin value and the market value of silver to the few holders of the bullion, instead | of letting it go to the whole people. "I think | the government should get this seniorage. The | whole people should get the benefit of the in- creased value of the metal by reason of its merely having the stamp of the government upon it. I therefore favor proposition for the government to receive both gold and silver at their respectivo market values and make them into coins of certain standard weights. I would have the coinage of both alike unlim- ited. ‘The two metals do not always retain the same relation toward each other, nor is the gold dollar always the more valuable. ‘They sometimes change places, their relatio regulated by the supply of each metal the amount of each ured in the arts. THE GOLD AND SILVER DOLLAR. “As we know, the silver dollar has been more valnable than the gold and it is liable to. be 80 aguin—they are liable to change places from time to time—if the free coinage of both is provided for under the same conditions. I refer to the market value of the metal itscl. But there will always be a seniorage to the government from one metal to the other, us they will uot remain of exactly equal value. liable to be is id by the coin value of whichever metal happens to be cheapest (with relation to the standard ratio) may go to the government I favor the government purchasing the metals at their market value and issuing the coin in return, but if it is proposed to make gold the standard and to apply this method of purchase to silver only then in preference to that I should favor the unlimited coinage of silver, ® dollar for the requisite number of grains, letting the holder of the silver get the benefit of the dif- ference between the market and the coin value. I think that by one plan or by the other the unlimited coinage of silver will be authorized at the next Congress.” ——_—++___ A WASHINGTON COMPOSER.

Gardner Addresses the Western High School of This City. . ‘The seventh of a course of lectures before the Western High School was delivered in the Cur- tis school building last Friday by Judge Thomas L Gardner, his subject being “A Trip tothe Mountains of North Carolina and the Ascent of Mount Mitchell.” The discourse in- cluded running sketches of the state, extending from the rice belt to the sea coast, to. the cot ton belt about Cape Fear river, the fine belt higher up and the oak and tobacco of the mountainous regions, which includes Mount Mitchell. ‘The beautifal country leading from Greens- boro, known as the “City of Flowers,” and sit- uated about three miles from the noted battle field of Guilford Court House, fouzht in 1781, through western North Carola along the val- loys and among the spurs and peaks of the Biue Ridge mountains to the city of Asheville in th dof the sky,” was described in x graphican entertaining manner. The scenery | dlong the Western North Carolina railway was ortrayed as beyond deseription and the exhi- pition of engineering skill in railroad construc- tion as something most wonderful. The road winds in serpentine fashion up the mountain | sides und from one point of view, at Round Knob, the track can be seen on the face of. the mountain at seventeen distinct points of eleva- tion. THE CITY OF ASHEVILLE. Asheville was described as being in a trans- itory or chrysalis state between the country village and a well appointed city, having much of the characteristics of both—paved streets ter minating in veritable “sloughs of despond’ with mud knee deep, the equipage of the nabob with its ornamental Ariver end footmar. in top boots cheek by jowl with the spike team of the mountaineer made up of an ox or mule with a rawboned horse ‘The echools, churches, shops, stores, hotels and various industries and attractions of Ashe- ville were dwelt upon in detail. From the heights of Battery Park is spread before one to the westward the Baleam mountains with the grand old peak of the Pisgah towering over all, while flowing seemingly at the foot in silvery Broad From here and there can also be seen the crags of the Great Smoky and the Black moun- ta in the ranges of which are found the hest peaks on the eastern side of the con- tinent.

Janney, a stick cut from oue of the bulsam firs upon’ the mountain's summit, which had been suitably mounted and inseribed, and which Prof. Janney accepted in a few pertinent remarks, expressing both his thanks for the cane and enjoyment of an inter- esting and instructive address, ‘The next address will be delivered by Mr. John T.

Attcoc’s Porous Prasters are the highest result of medical science and skill, and in ingredients and method have never been equaled. They are the original and genuine porous plasters, upon whose reputation imitators trade. Attcock’s Porous Pasters never fail to remedial work quickly and effectually. This fact is attested by thousands of voluntary and unim- peachable testimonials from grateful patients. For Rheumatism, Weak Back, Sciatica, Lung Trouble, Kidney Disease, Dyspepsia, Malaria, and all local pains, they | are invaluable. When you buy Attcocx’s Porovs PLastErs best plasters made.

It is reported that an entire change has been made in the management of Rockville Heights, the large tract of land lying south of and ad- ut to thin place, purchased somo time ago trom the late Kobt.

A.M. mter of this place, a EX-SENATOR PIERCE. ‘What His Becoming Managing Editor of the Minneapolis Tribune Would Mean. It is said that President Harrison is extremely gratified by the prospect that ex-Senator Pierce will become the managing editor of the Minne- apolis Tribune. Mr. Pierce is an ardent Harri- sou man and his assuming editorial charge of the Tribuue, it ia thought, would convert that paper into au administration organ. At pres- ent Mr. Harrison has practically no newspaper | support in the state of Minnesota, and the sentiment throughout the state seems to be very strongly for Blaine. A poll of the repub- licans of the legislature a short timeagoshowed that out of a total of ninety-one members sixty- seven were for Blaine for President and only one was for Harrison. The Tri’une now carries the portrait of Mr. Blaine at the head of its uian, with the inscription, “Our candidate President.” If Mr. Pierce takes charge of the paper this portrait will probably be taken down and the paper will be devoted to an earn- est etfort to advance the quotations of the Har- rison stock on the wester" market. Mr. Pierce has been shown a great many courtesies, both social and official, at the White House during his term in the Senate, and he was in the posi- tion of a champion of the administration in Congress. It was he who brought in the com- Promise reciprocity amendment, to. the tariff ill, which was supposed to have been outlined to ‘him by Mr. Harrison. It is said that the President was thinking of offering him the Japanese mission or some other position in the diplomatic service, but that he was deterred from doing so because he regarded it as more to the interest of the administration to make use of Mr. Pierce's jourgalistic services in this country, THE GALENA BEACHED. The Old War Ship Stranded in a Gale at Gay Head. ‘The navy is likely to lose another of the old hulks that mark the era of wooden ships. The U. 8.8. Galena and the tug Nina, the former being in tow of the latter, are now ashore at Gay Head, Mass., the result of a stiff gale that has been prevailing on the New England coast for come days. They were on their way from New York to Portsmouth, N. H., where the Galena was to be repaired. The Galena is thonght to bea wreck. She is high up on the beach, broadside. She is full of water, her hull badly logged, her mainmast head sprung, her jib and mainsail flying in « fresh northwest wind and her rigging covered with ice. The Nina lies head on, south, upon the beach, so that persons can walk aboard her at low tide. It is thought that she will be saved. The Ga- lena’s starboard boats were washed from tho davits and thrown upon the beach, where they were broken in piecesand burned by the sailors in their efforts to keep themzelves warm. The oflicers and crew are distributed among the fow dwelling houses on Gay Head, which are all filled to their utmost capacity. The only church iu the place is appropriated for a tem lodging house. ‘The seventy-seven Unit States seamen forcing themselves upon the Gay Head Indians made it necessary to scour the locality for provisions.
