We tell you—and it sounds their statements— $7.50 —and all we ask is a comparison with the boldest statement of the friends claim to have a majority of these with which to begin the fight for the sen- atorship. This is one of the strong cards of the Blackburn suit, and will be played early in the game. So sure is Senator Blackburn that the silver people will carry the state that he is making his whole fight on this line. He claims to be the king of silver democrats, and Gov. Brown will be laughed to scorn by the Blackburn forces for presuming to aspire to silver leadership. Ex-Gov. McCreary Criticined. He has scored some points over his ad- versary, Representative McCreary, since it was discovered, it is said, that Mr. Mc- Creary has been trying to carry water on both shoulders. “I do not know that I could do him jus- tice, however honest my effort, to teil you what his position is,” said Senator Black- burn, referring to Mr. McCreary, “for the simple reason that after reading carefully and perusing and scanning his interviews, I am unable to tell you what he is for. I am unable to tell you which side of the question he is on, and I do not think I am at fault in that, for I do not believe he knows what he is in favor of any bet- ter than I do. I do not believe that Gov. McCreary, and you and I, and all the balance of the world combined, unless we were guided by omnipotent wisdom, can tell which side of this controversy he is on. He says he is a bimetallist, pro- vided you will use one metal. He says to The Only Inducement I hold out for your orders for printing is a sim- ple promise to give you good work, promptly and at a fair price. Any other printer can SAY much as this, but not one can really DO more. ‘Talk is cheap, but deeds count.” ‘iry me tur yourself. H. L. McQUEEN, Printer and Publisher, my3t 1108-1116 E st. n.w.

He says he is in favor of using both gold and silver, providing you shall wait until the balance of the world, and especially Great Britain, shall give you her royal permis- sion, and allow you to do it.” This sum- ming up of Mr. McCreary’s “position,” which was made at a public gathering, £8 . created a general laugh from those who knew Mr. McCreary. Senator Blackburn does not want to leave the bars down for Mr. McCreary to slip into the silver camp, in case the state goes that way. Senator Blackburn pays warm tribute to T. W.

Buckner’s open advocacy of sound money, but injects a drop of gall into the compliment by adding that “he is an avowed advocate of a single gold standard ARMY REGULATIONS. ‘The Revision of Them Finally Com- pleted—Some of the Changes. Under the supervision of Assistant Sec- retary Doe, the formidable task of revis- ing the Regulations of the United States Army has just been brought to a close, and as soon as the final proofs have passed the scrutiny of the bureau chiefs the volume will be printed and distributed to the army. The changes have been very numerous, and while they. have been generally direct- ed to a simplification of style and the re- in some instances important amendments have been made. One of irfterest to the public is the reduc- tion in size of the regimental flag. This is now 6 feet 6 inches long by’6 feet wide Consequently, it is almost square, and very far wide of the accepted proportions of a graceful standard. In ad- dition it is very heavy, and only the most stalwart men can carry one in a good breeze for any considerable distance. At the suggestion of the assistant secretary this has now been changed, so that the moval of ambiguities, on the staff. new flag will be 5 feet 6 inches long by feet 4 inches on the staff, a much better proportion of width to length, and the change has not met with a single objection. Officers’_ Monthly Report. Another change that will be greatly rel- ished by officers was made in the regul: tion that requires all officers, active and r tired, to report by mail every month the adjutant general, the post commander and the r2gimental commander their ad- dress ard the nature of their duty. The files of the department are fairly burdened with these letters, many of which show no change in address and duty for many years. To get rid of these in the future it is now required that officers shall report to the department only tr case of a change in ad- dress or a material change in the nature of Another reform that will largely reduce the size and complexity of the volume is the exclusion of all matter their duties. pertaining solely to one of the staff d partments of the army. Hereafter all this class of matter will be included in separat manuals for each branch of the staff. ——-+e-_____ Committed Suicide. Archie Riggeney, colored, fifty-one yea: old, who lived at 165 Pierce street, died and the physician who was called in to attend him would not give a certificate of death because arsenic poisoning was the cause. Coroner Ham- mett Investigated the case and concluded that the poison was taken with suicidal in- suddenly Wednesday, tent. and wants no remonetization of silver.” Mr. Blackburn thinks that to label a man with a gold tag at the present time in Kentucky is equivalent to putting him on the shelf. Firing the Southern Heart. Probably it would be interesting to hear some of the arguments which Senator Blackburn advances to his free silver au- diences. He makes long speeches of that ornate character peculiar to southern oratory of a ceriain class, and generalizes freely upon the financial question. Here is an example of Senator Blackburn arousing the multitude: “Your liberties are at stake. Translated into plain English, the question upon which you are to render this verdict means no less than the reclamation or loss of the Uberties that belong to seventy millions of free people. More than a hundred years ago by your own strong arms and stout patriotic hearts you established as a people your claim and your right to entrance into the ist of the free nations of the earth. Upon the field of battle your ancestry did not hesitate in proclaiming your right to independence, to grapple the English lion, the stoutest then as the strongest now of 4] all foreign powers, ard wading through the blood and carnage of seven long, weary years of war they won that fight, they emancipated the thirteen American colonies from English dependence to the grandest heritage ever bequeathed to mortal man, the position of a free and independent power challenging the admiration of the world in your effort to block out a free government for your descendants. They won our independence for us then, and the question is today, will we surrender that independence back to the British power now. (Applause.) England tried to hold us in subjection by the sword and failed. She could not cow or cénquer us with powder and with ball, but after the lapse of a hundred years she undertakes to con- quer us by the more insidious, the more cowardly, but the more dangerous method —by buying us with gold.” (Applause.) Sherman as the Bogie Man. ‘A name frequently used by the free silver conjurers bere to invoke the wrath of the people against the opponents of free silver is that of John Sherman. That name is a frightful, fearful bugaboo, hardly describ- able, but typifying some hydra-headed monster of financial policy always threat- ening the democracy. Senater Blackburn never fails to ring in John Sherman’s name, and the crowd shudders. Here is a ver- batim quotation: “No man can deny my fairness when I say I stand here today the humble apostle of the Jeffersonian original democratic sys- tem of money in this country and opposing the recent-day discovery of John Sherman of Ohio, and the system that he substi- a= e- to e- te rs INDEX TO ADVERTISEMENTS.

I admit that those whose views differ from mine are today filling this coun- try with their loud clamorings, appealing to the hallowed and well-nigh sainted names of Jefferson and Jackson in support of the heresy they preach. Protect us, heaven, from such desecration! Jefferson's rame conjured up to support Senator Sher- man’s system as a substitute for his own. Jefferson’s memory outraged and his shad- ow subpoenaed as a witness to appear be- fore the bar of public opinion in support of the theory and the monetary systern of the man who proposes and who insists upon turning over the financial affairs of this country to the tender mercies of the banks. Jefferson is the man who told us that the banks were more of a menace to republi- can institutions and civil liberty than was a standing army; Jefferson, the founder, the man who laid the corner-stone upon which was built the superstructure for a free gov- ernment for a free people.” Rights of Debtors. Senator Blackburn's idea of the debtor's obligation is stated as follows: “What is meant by the option is the right of one person to contract to pay in either money he chooses. The law of trade, the law of fairness, the law of justice, requires that that right of option shall belong to the debtor and not the contractor. If I owe you $1,000, it is I who should have the option, it is I who should have. the right to say whether I will pay you in one cr the other of the lawful moneys of this country. If the option is given to pay a debt either in silver or gold, who should held and who should exercise that option? Do you say that the creditor is entitled to it? If so, it {s no option at all.” Touching further upon the payment of debts, he says: “The United States owes the balance of the world, at the lowest estimate, eight thousand millions of dollars. We owe Europe enough to require us to send ench year two hundred millions of gold to pay the interest upon the debt. That is more gold than the whole world produces each year. In heaven’s name, tell me, my countrymcn, what chance have we ever to pay the principal of that debt? 4| We must pay it in gold, and the world’s Sab Boasraabanw RR RRRAATRAARAAAAMARAARERARATAR SERRE DO THE OFRICIAL WEATHER MAP.

The highest tempera- ture reported, 9% degrees, was noted at Columbus, Ohio, and Lynchburg, Va., and @ maximum of 94 degrees was reached at Harrisburg, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Wash- ington, Norfolk, Raleigh, Louisville, Indian- apolis, Parkersburg, Rochester and St. Louis. A storm of ‘marked strength occu- pies South Dakota this morning, attended by heavy rain in the Missouri valley, and by cool northwest winds and rain in the middle and northern Rocky Mountain dis- tricts. The indications are that the north- west storm will move slowly eastward, at- tended by rain and thunder storms over the northern districts. In this section the tem- perature was 87 degrees at 10 a. m., two degrees higher than at the corresponding hour yesterday, and thé maximum of today will be about 95 or 96 degrees.

With the great host of friends he has in the state, the wide family , connections, which count for a great deal here, and the popular movement he has espotiged, he is an adversary to be feared; by his oppo- nents.

They Relieve in an jnteppational Aureement and Indorse Cleveland. LONDON, May 31.—There: is much re- joicing at the headquarters of. thé bimetal- lists here over the news cabled,to this city that the democrats of Texas an@ Kansas have failed to indorse propositions for the free coinage of silver. The English bimet- allists are opposed to the’ Unittd States acting in advance of ‘an : international agreement on the subject, and President Cleveland’s position. The Bimetallic League is preparing an answer to the position taken up by Sir William Vernon Harcourt, chancellor of the exchequer, in his reply to the address of the Gold Standard Protection League, wherein he stated that he concurred en- tirely in the opinion that the experience of well nigh a century has proved that the present system of currency is suited to the wants of this great commercial country and that to depart ther from would be dis- astrous to the trade and credit of the united kingdom. THE REPUBLICAN POSITION. indorse Chairman Carter Assertx That It Will Be for Free Silver. NEW YORK, May 31.—Thomas H. Car- ter, chairman of the republican national committee, in a public statement, says: “In 1896 the republican party will stand. for protection and the restoration of bi- metallism on a substantial and enduring basis. There may be differences of opinion in the party on the tariff schedules, but not upon the principle of protection. There will be differences of opinion as to the best course to pursue to secure the free and un- limited coinage of both gold and silver ata fixed ratio, but there will be no difference of opinion as to the desirability of bringing about that result.” * GRADE CROSSINGS. A Report Made and in the Commis- sioners’ Hands. Grade crossings still continue to be a bone of contention between the Commissioners and the railroad authorities. ‘Several days ago Major Powell directed one of his in- spectors to make a report of the grade crossings along the Metropolitan branch of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. It is well known that along that portion of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad there are a number of crossings which, though pro- vided with gates and watchmen, cannot be said to be fully protected. Then there are a number of crossings beyond the Bound- ary, as far out as the District line, which are not at all protected. Inspector Bradshaw was detailed to do this work, and his inspection lasted several days. Yesterday he made his report, in which he sets forth the crossings that are not protected, and those which are not ful- ly protected. Special attention is called to the grade crossing at Lamonds, which re- mains unprotected. Major Powell declined to give the report out for publication, saying it had been laid aside for the present, as the Commissioners did not believe they had authority ‘to com- pel the railroad companies to protect their crossings in view of the regent decision ef the Police Court, in which it was held that the Commissioners had no- authority to draft such regulations. 5 While nothing will be done at pfésent, it is understood that the Conimissfoners at the next session of Congress, will make an effort to get suitable legislafién on the sub- ject. r FIRST DEATH. Colored Laborer Fatall the Heat. » The first. death from the. effects,of the heat this season occurred:.this ‘morning about 11:30 o’clock. The vi¢tim was Jacob Gardner, a colored laborer, fifty-three years old, who lived at 778 Navy place scutheast. He was working in the navy yard, where the heat was so intense that he was taken sick. Restoratives were applied and the sick man was sent home. As soon as he reach- ed there a physician was sent for, but the unfortunate man expired before the doctor reached the house. A Coroner Hammett was sent for and he will probably give a certificate of death this afternoon. ——_—_ For Divorce. A petition for divorce from John Gott was filed today by Kate E. Gott. Mrs. Gott states that they were married here Novem- ber 5, 1882, her name then being Kellum.

PAPERS READ 70 MUNICIPAL LEAGUE Dr. Billings Speaks From the Physician's Point of View. MATTERS OF IMPORTANCE CLEVELAND, Ohio, May 31.—The morn- ing session of the national muncipal league teday was marked by a somewhat small at- tendance, the reason being no doubt the warm weather. The first paper of the morning was that of Charles Richardson, the first vice president of the league. His subject was “Municipal Government by Na- tional Parties.” He was followed by Francisco I. T. Mil- liken, who spoke on the municipal condition of San Francisco. Messrs. E. O. Graves of Seattle, Wash., and Thomas N. Strong of Portland, Ore., made addresses on the ‘same subject in connection with their respective cities. Dr. John S. Piilings’ Paper. Dr. John 8. Billings read a paper on “Good City Government from the Stand. peint of the Physician and Sanitarian. “From the point of view of the physician,” began Dr. Billings, “‘the best city govern- ment is that which best preserves the health of the people, best cares for the sick and injured who require municipal aid, and gives most opportunities for the increase and diffusion of medical knowledge; and which, at the vame time, interferes least with the freadom cf individuals in general to use their time, their kncwledge and their property in their own way and for their own kcnefit. The sanitarian aleo considers that the best city government is that which preserves the health of the people, but with the proviso that it be done at a reasontble cost. “Yhe most important questions to be thus considered,” the doctor continued, “are vital statistics, water supply, sewage dis- posal, garbage jisporal, streets and parks, drainage, prevention of the spread of dis- ease, provisions for cleanliness, suppression of nuisances, supervision of the food sup- ply, regulation of the liquor traffic, care of the sick and disposal of the dead. Each of these,” he said, “require expert knowledge to obtain the best results, and the experts shéuld be selected by the civil service method, excluding political considerations.” Discussing the means of securing a per- fect health system, Dr. Billings said: ‘No system will prove satisfactory which pre- vents the chiefs of the health and engineer- ing departments from presenting their plans end estimates directly to the mayor, and no system of contracts for street clean- ing and the removal of refuse will, in the long run, secure work properly done at reasonable rates. All such contracts must be what are known as gambling contracts. The city should own its own plant and em- ploy its own men for all this kind of work, which should be under the direction of the engineering department.” Dr. Billings outlined the methods by which the various desiderata mentioned by him should be provided for by a city gov- ernment, and, proceeding, said: “I believe the statement that the present evils of a city life are temporary and remediable, and that science is competent to answer the problems connected with this. But science is a matter of fact, of quantities, of measurements—it must have data to work with—and the first thing needed for most of our cities is to obtain these data. I am much inclined to believe that the wisest thing a city could do would be to have their health and engineering departments inspected by a committee composed of an expert statistician, a skilled sanitarian and an experienced municipal engineer from elsewkere for the purpose, who should take from one to six months to do their work, and then report the results, with their recommendations. The citizens would then know what of these parts of the municipal machinery are in good order and what are not. Each city presents its own peculiar problems, but in many cases these prob- lems can be better solved by experts called from other cities than by those likely to be westee from the citizens of the place self.” is Municipal Condition of Washington. | Mr. Siddons began by, outlining the mu- ricipal control of the District of Columbia by the District Commissioners, appointed by the President and under the authority of Congress, saying: “Undoubtedly the present government of the capital is the source of constant and increasing dissat- isfaction and suspicion. Dependent as we are on Congress, its utter failure as a municipal legislative body threatens the future of the District. And yet it should not surprise thinking people that a legis- lature charged with the parliamentary af- fairs of a nation of 65,000,000 of people and formulating currency and tariff poli- cies today finds difficulty in coming to the consideration tomorrow of whether it will grant an appropriation to lay a sewer or pass an ordinance concerning the disposi- tion of garbage in a community of less than 300,000 persons. This was never con- templated by the Constitution makers and certainly Congress is not adapted to the performance of such legislative duties. “As has been said,” the speaker contin- ued, “the Commissioners have complete control of the appointments, dismissals, &c., of all subordinates, but in the exercise of. that control they have allowed them- selves to be fettered by Congressional of- fice brokers, who now make it a sine qua non of appropriations and legislation for the District that they shall have the of- fices, and they generally get them. “With the exception of a scandal that grew out of the purchase by the munici- pal government of certain school sites a few years ago, and which involved more error of judgment than anything else, it is re- freshing to be able to state that with all their failings and weaknesses, due, as has been said, far more to the system than to the men who act and speak for it, the Dis- trict Commissioners have not been corrupt men. We have had weak men, but they have been honest.” Referring to the reform movement in Washington, Mr. Siddoris spoke of the Civil Service Reform Association, and che “Civic Center,” which is designed to serve as & ceutral agency to co-ordinate, har- monize and help all associations, societies and agencies, public and private, which are working in the city for the pub- lic good. It is an agency, he said, the want of which has long been felt by many of the leading workers in a field of public good, to bring into proper relations and due co-cneration and har- mony the efforts of hundreds of associa- tions, societies, unions, circles and clubs, in which thousands of the best citizens, old and young, are at work to promote the peace, purity, health, intelligence, progress and Christian well-being of “this beau- tiful capital of the nation.” “Distinguished men and women make up its membership,” he continued. “It has no favors to ask, no axes to grind, and if each ef its committees will but do their duty, it ought to bear fruit. It seems to me a hopeless undertaking to attempt to stem the swelling tide of democratic ideas and methods of government. It may be that popular government is now being put to its severest test in the municipalities of the country. It may be that it will not stand the test, but unless we are prepared to relinquish the fundamental theory of our political institutions, it is in the munic- ipalities that we must make it succeed.” —_——._—_ Gould's New Ningara Beaten. Mr. Howard Gould’s new twenty-rater Herreshoff-built Niagara started yesterday in the race for ten to twenty-raters in the regatta at Lowestoft, England. The course was thirty miles long. Lord Dudly’s Inyoni also competed. Inyont crossed the winning line at 5:08 p.m. Niagara at that time was almost becalmed and had not reached the finish line at 5:35 p.in. LONDON, May 31.—The Times this morn- ing says uf the yacht race yesterday off Lowestoft: Niagara was beaten by In- yoni in a perfectly fair and square fashion on every point of sailing. It was quite a typical Mght-weather trial, and Inyoni’s larger sailspread contributed not a little to her victory. Although she was queen of her class last year, we must regard her record when racing in soft breezes. Ni- agara is a longer and a bigger-looking boat than Inyoni, and compared with the latter her sailspread appears inadequate. She is, however, canvased up to the last foot for a 20-rater. 3 EYES ON THE. MERCURY, What Is the Outlook fer-an Uncom- monly Hot, Trying Summer. Last winter was long and severe. Will the sum= mer in its turu be uncommonly hot and trying? Men ask each other this question as they gather around fhe thermometers, am wonder if the sun is going to break the record, Weather cranks, like Jealous people, are always looking for information that will make them wretched... Unfortunately for the great army of stay-at- homes in towns and cities, It 1s not possible to igvore the heat altogether. It will cbtrude itself on the attention with wearlsome persistence. But it is possible to keep the body in a state of active resistance to the health-lestroyiug influences of the season. Tl:is is done by anything that keeps up the Vital foree, acts upon the organs of excretion, 80 that waste matter is readily thrown of ain) gen- erally exercises a soothing, strengthening, beaefi- cent power. Of all means devised for this end, Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey is the most conspicuously useful, It is kept in thousands of households, ard is par. ticularly valuable in all cases where vital force 4s depressed and the system 13 inert and forccless, That such circumstances demand a stimulant— something to get quickly and thoroughly has long been the concurrent testimony of the best physi. cians, In the best sense of a shamofally abused word, Duffy's Pure Malt Wiiskey ie an “iden!” stimulant.
