NEWS FROM COUNCIL BLUFFS | Hon. J. P, Irish Gives His Opinion on the Financial Situation. REPEAL OF THE SHERMAN LAW ASSURED His Views Expressed After a Visit to Wash- Ington and & Canvass of Both Houses 1of Congre Cnuse of the Depression. Hon. John P. Irish of Oakland, Cal., who is comonly known as tho ‘silver-tongued Californian,” was in the city yesterday shaking hands with his numerous Council Bluffs friends, Ho has just been in Washing- ton, D. (., where he has had the bestof opportunitics of viewing the situation in the legislative, departments of the government. M. Irish is & keen observer, and whatever he says may be relied upon as strictly authoritative. He was seen by a Bee or- ter yesterday just as ho was starting on his westwara trip and made the following state- ment of his views: ““Ihero will boa clean repeal of the pur- chasing clause of the Sherman act by n ma- jority somewhere between forty and seventy- five in the house and not less than four in the senate. This majority will not be drawn on party linesatall. I don't think there will be any other financial legislation beyond this, for the main reason vhat the silver men canniot agree among themselves on a coinage ratio between silver and gold. Silver is al- ways fluctuating, so that it is not suitable fora standard by which to measure value. It will always be used as a_subsidiary coin, and, to some extent, us a_standard, but the man standard will always be the metal which does not fluctuate, gold. ““The silver men assume that the repeal of I ariye silver out of circulation, but they know their assump- tion is fulse We mnow have $540,- 000,000 of silver in circulation, and we will have no trouble with financial matters provided we don't increase the amount of silver In circulation. Senator Manderson’s plan to increase the amount of money in circulation, by aliowing nationat banks to enlarge their 18sue, is a good one. Cause of the Preseut Depression. “The cause of our present financial dif- culties,” he continued, in reply to a question, s a lack of confidence, and that, in turn, is due to the fear that we might slump toa silver basis. Half the money in the country has been put into cold storage since the panic came upon us. Six million dollars were drawn out of the San Francisco banks alone in two weeks. When confid is r stored, as Senator Sherman himself has ad- mitted, it will be by the repeal of the act which bears his name, the amount of money in active circulation will be doubled and we shall have no more trouble, “The trouble in the silver producing states, especially in Colorado, 1 attribute mainly to a combine on the part of the ming owners, created tor the purpose of affecting legislation. Silver is now being produced at a cost of 12 cents an ounce in Colorado. At a ratio of 16 to 1, consequently the producer woull take sixteen ounces of silver, worth £1.92,to the United States mints and re- ceive for it onc ounce of gold, the valuc of which is $20.67. So, you see, the production of silver cau be carricd on at quite a reason- able profit even now, and millionaires could afford toshutdown their mines forsix months A1, by so doing, the, insure the main- tenance of the pres E The desire to influence legislation I think is largely res- ponsible for the closing of the silver mines in Colorado and the consequent outpouring of anarmy of unemployed men upon the states farthest east. As dead a give-away of the exact state of affairs as I should wish toses is the fact that the citizons of Den- yer, trembling on the brink of poverty, as they claim, held a meeting a few daya ago 1o take steps toward helping the unemibloyed in New York City!” the Sherman law w Preparing for the Sale.

The thira day of the eighth biennial tour- nament of the Western Shooting league, held at Ruser's park, witnessed the largest at- tendance of any day of the gathering. In addition to the teams already on the ground, representatives of the South St. Louis club, Joliet, 1iL., Milwaukeo, Calhoun and others, arrived to participate in the rifle contest, As usual, many of the riflemen stood ready to fire when the opening sigual by the cannon beiched forth. Thereafter no time was lost by any of them.

One feature of yesterday's program was the shoot at a twenty-five ring target by teams of six men, the St. Louis sharpshooters, South St. Louis club, Bennington, Daven- port and Omaha taking part in this, The Mil- waukee team also desired totake partin this, but were ruled out by the shootingon accoun of having only five men present, after they the alternative of choosing a te riflemen by drawing or else give the one scoring the lowest num- ber a sccond chance, both of which propo- sitwons the Milwaukees dechned. 3 In the following contest points were scored out of a possible 250, as follows: St. Louis sharpshooters L.

Upon doing this the president announced that there would. Then he made a motion to appeal from the decision of the chair and declare the meeting open, which was carried, The president, soon (ind- ing that the law of the state of Nebraska in regard to corporations was greater than the by-laws of our club, or tho amendments thereto by his board, coucluded to leave the meeting and asked his friends to follow, some of whom did not know, and perbaps do not know at this time, the real ob) of the club demanding a meeting, and it is hoved upon reading this that they will seo thar they have been misled. ‘The board of directors has assumed a right todo as they pleased regardless of the constitution and by-laws of the club. or what they knew to be the wishes of a majority of its members.
