The St Louis Bllvor convention did
what it was expected to do It doclnrcd
in favor of free coinage It asserted
that , a cortltlcato of the government ,
backed dollar for dollar by gold nnd sil
ver coin In the treasury of the Unltod
States , Is a s.tro nnd sound currency It
alllrmcd that it is noccssary to fully restore -
store silver to its former place In the
currency in order to replace the
nntlonnl I bank notes that are
,
being surrendered and to pro
\ldofor the vast sums that must bo
collected by the cancellation of govern
ment bonds during the next three years
It declared for the equal rights of gold
nnd > silver , and expressed the opinion
that no nation ever had or ever will
have too much of these coins These
views nio to bo impressed upon the at
tention of the country by a national
committco , nnd cougross will bo memor
ialized to put them In olTcct by loglsla -
tlon Thosllvorqucstion Is thus brought
to the front ns a leading subject
ot public discussion , and its importance
is hardly socoud to that ot any other
question awaiting the action of coa-
gtcss
Thcpiospoctor free coinngo legisla
tion is , however , not very promising
A free coinngo bl'l ' cun hardly bo ex
pected to pass the senate The senators
from the now statoa will unquestionably
favor it , nnd these who toprosuut the
Kooky Mountain statoa and Paclllc coast
always have favored free coinage But
a largo majority ot the souato
will continue to oppose this scheme
It ia very doubtful whether a free coin
ngo bill could pass the house The
friends ot silver are largely in the ma
jority In that body , but all of these are
not lavorablo to Irc coinage It is not
cortnlnlv known iKtit such a policy
would carry in the house , though a pro
posal to increase the coinngo to the
maximum amount now provided for by
law , which would nearly consume what
silver wo produce , undoubtedly would
The oltort will bo to compromise upon
bullion us n basis for nationnl bank cur
rency
The strongest ronson urged against
free coinage is the fact that it would
turn ever the prolits on the colnago of
silver dollars to the owners of bullion
At present all silver is colnod on gov
ernment account , That is , the govern
ment purchases all the silver it coins tit
the market valuation for line silver
bars The mints do not take ordorsfrom
private parties , butpurehaso lotsof sil
ver not oxccedlng ten thousand ounces
at , their counter , paying for it in silver
dollnrs The bilvor dollar weighs four
hundred nnd twelve and a half grainb ,
but it will purchase four hundred and
eighty grains of fine silver and lcavo
about sovou and a half rants unox-
%
ponded Thus the government gets an
apparent profit of about eighteen per
cent Really , howeverslnco the govern
ment accepts the dollar in satisfaction
ot till dues and demands at ono hundred
cents , it gains nothiug by the trans
action except in enjoying the use of the
"aeigniorago" on all coin in circulation
until it returns to the treasury But
while the gain to the government is not
much under the local tender law , it is
obvious that with free coinage the
owners of silver bullion would make
about eighteen per eont on all of the
silver they could got converted
into full legal tender coin ,
for although they would have
to accept payment of anything
duo thom in sllvor dollars at par , they
would not have to redeem any more ot
par Every dollar coined by the gov
ernment constitutes a p.ir liability , and
that liability would remain if the coin
ngo were unlimited The ownora ot
bullion would reap the profit This is a
consideration which is likely to have
weight against the proposal for free
coinage Meantime the silver question ,
having , as it does , most intimate rola-
tion'totho intorcsts and welfare of the
whole peoDlo , should receive the
widest public discussion and examina
tion _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
THE QUESTION OP SUBSIDIES
The ndvocatoa of steamship subsi
dies have recently boon loss demon
strative in urging their cause upon
public nttontion , but they are not idle
The question is playing a part in the
speakership contest , nnd there are
other evidences of shrewd nnd careful
preparation to bring a greater pressure
upon the Fifty-first congress than
ever before in behalf of subsidies
Among these who are giving
their influence to this cause is
the votornn flnanclor and ox-
secretary of the treasury , Hugh
McCulloch Ho assorts that all of the
great maritime nations have become
what they are in respect of the amount
of morohant tonnage afloat by giving
government aid to steamship lines ,
olther by subsldlos or by libcrnl pay
ments for sorvlcos , that there is no good
reason to suppose that capitalists would
build shlpj , even with free raw mater
ials , and run thom in competition with
the well established and powerful forolgu
lines , without nt least ns much aid from
our government as they have rcceivod
from tholrs , aud that the restoration of
our morchuut marino is a matter of
such vital importance to the country
that he would approve any measure
that would effect it He would prof or
liberal compensation for carrying the
mails to direct subsldlos , but if the latter -
tor Is necessary to induce capital to on-
gigo in steamship building ho would
approve it
Mr McCtillooh is strongly opoosed to
the prose nt tariff , and from time to
time has given very oxcellout reasons
for doslrlng a rovlslon and in
duction ot duties But it the
government were to adopt a policy of
steamship subsidies , the limit of which
it would bo almost impossible to pro
scribe , could It Bafoly spnro any part of
the ravenuo dorlvod from the tariff
Who can say whore subsldlos would
end if once entered upon , or what
amount would in ft few years bo pocoa-
sary to moct this demand on the trous-
ury ? The government could not justly
limit its fuvnr to cortaln shipbuild-
era To bo fuir it would have
to subsiaizo all who compiled
with the conditions Is It not
highly probable that a polloy suf- ,
' Ilolontly liberal to encourage the con
struction-ot stuuiushlp lines would stim-
ulato ontcrpriso in this direction to an
extent beyond the logitimnto require
ments of trade ? If it were practicable
to fix some limit to the number who
should bo cntlllod to rccolvo subsidies
this question would bo simplified , but
this government must deal with nil
whom Its policy should invite to invest
their capital In ships with equal fair
ness It could not confine Its pa
ternal enre to a few favored
ones who might bo the first
to ask it Such n policy would bo very
short lived Popular son time nt would
not tolcrnto it
The importiiuco ot restoring our mor-
chnnt mnrlnu i3 certainly great , but
thcro are ether raattora quito its im
portant or moro so The masses of the
pcoplo want roltof from onerous and
unnecessary tariff taxes , nnd this they
will not got if now doinnuds are to bo
fastened upon the public treasury Ad
vocates of tariff reduction cannot con
sistently champion steamship subsidies
In arecent nrtlclo on the Sioux reser
vation the terms on which the land will
bo sold by the government were erro
neously reported The law provides
that the laud slinll bo sold to actual settlers -
'tlors only , under the provisions of the
homestead law In addition to the foes
provided by that law , purchasers must
pay one dollar and a quarter per ncrc
If any land remains unsold three years
after the act has taken effect It will
bo sold at Sisvonty-Ilve coats per
acre , and at fifty cents per auro
after flvo years The rights of
honorably discharged union soldtors
and Bailers tire not abridged , except ns
to the payment ot purchase prices Pub
lic roadways four rods wldo are estab
lished on all thosoctlon lines The settlers
tlors who ontcrod land on the Crow
creek and Winnebago reservations
under PrcsUlont Arthur's ' ptoclnmation
in l88o , and who were afterwards re
moved by the democratic administra
tion , are granted ninety days in which
to reenter upon their claims The con
sent ot the Indiana having boon ob
tained , the only obstacle to the opening
of the reservation is the report of the
Indian commission and the presidents
proclamation It is not likely that the
president will issue his proclamation
before spring , thus avoiding the hard
ships which woulu follow from a ruah to
that country In midwinter
Thk Sunday Bun will contain a
highly interesting and gossipy letter

readers of Tna Buk Ho has mudo
himself famous as a newspaper corres
pendent Ho ran Its with the ablest
writers in this country at the present
time Ho has made several tours of
Europe and Asia and ono tour around

in Washington for ton years and is
thoroughly familiar with everything
pertaining to publlo affairs In his
first Washington letter Mr Carpenter
presents personal sltotchosof the candi
dates for the speakership of the house ,
interspersed with gossip concerning
holr lives and publlo careers
TisiuiEXCis V. Powdeuly's scheme
to combine the farmers and Knights of
Labor intoa vast political organiza
tion is a grand ono in architectural design -
sign but impossible to execute It is
easy to plan and proclaim great things
another to put them into effect No
one but a visionary could hope to keep
politics out of such an organization
This was clearly shown in the Knights
of Labor In the heyday of its power
itnumborod throo-quartorsof a million
men Today it has about ono-sovonth
of the number The cause of this fall
ing away was politics The organiza
tion was manipulated by mercenaries
for personal gain , and it wont to pieces
on the rocks of jealousy nnd ambition
The intorosta of the farmers and the
knights are , npt such as can bo readily
cemented , even if it wore possible to
Uoop the disturbing factor of politics
out of tno councils It is safer for both
tooporato separately , nnd thug reduce
the chances of dlssonslon and disaster
GOVEUNOH HitTj declined to nppolnt
delegates from Now York to the St

that the subject Is not of such hitorost

Hills contomptlblo reply was doubtless
inspired by the gold bugs of New York
That IIUl should volco their sontlmonts

The nssuranco recently Riven by King
Humbert of Italy , that European ponce will
not bo disturbed , does not uarry very great
weight The net Is that the king of Italy Is
not a very lni'go or Inllucntlul figure in Eu
ropean politics , Aolovor sort of man with
no great genius for government , Humbert Is
not a dominant forcooutsuloof his own king
dom , and it is very tlkoly that ho has as little
tlo Irnowlodgo of what the great uowors Intend -
tend as the least among European rulers
Indeed the time has not coma when Italy
may bo ranked ns a great European power
The nuostlon of war or peace does not llo
with that kingdom Germany , Franco , Eng
land and Russia are the great war powers of
the European continent It is for them to
say when there shall bo an explosion of gun
powder , and oven they are powerless in the
presence of the march of events which seems
to decree a great war in ovcry generation
About so oflon , mankind , totally rcgardloss
of their own interests , will full to slitting
one another's throats Speaking on his own
authority , the views of the king of Italy ro-
parding what may happen in Euiopo nro of
little vnluo , butht may bo , under the circum
stances m which 'ho spoke , that ho had au
thority from a's 'oUrco worthy of respect : Tbo

There are signs "of au attempt at an effect
ire coalition among the moro rational of the
folloivors of tbp Orloanlst family in Franco
and the conservative republicans Approaches
preaches from ons side and the ether have
boon indicated ia the pro3s. and thcro are re
ports of sctiousr ] negotiations between the
lcadors The Uilrlcultios surrounding such ,
an nrrangement nVo very great.becauso prac
tically the Orleanists can hardly go far ia
this direction dvUhout surrondonng their
distinctive pohtlcal'canractcr. . It is hardly
within the range of possibility that Philip
VII " as thoystlll fondly call their leader
can ever become the king of Franco , no matter -
tor how liberal may bo the principles that he
professes The greater the concessions his
party may ninko , the mora impracticable the
establishment of any throne becomes The
whole spirit of the Orleanists , so far as the
princes are concerned , is nllon to dotnocracy
and it is reasonably clear that democracy
must not only provall bat advauco in France
In the recent canvass preceding the election
of the pro3ent chamber , the Intrigues of the
Count of Paris with LJoulangerkurt his cause
very much , for they tended to Bbowtbat
while ho had no sympath y with real demo
cracy ho was rca dy to ally himself with
an adventurer and would-bo dictator under
the guise of a democrat The only real hope
of such a coalition as wo have referred to
lies in the chance that a rospeotablo number
of orleanists may be ready to glvo up the
Idea of a monarchy and definitely accept that
of a conservative ropubllo

Little Costa Hlca , ia nrea next to tbo

congress , and when General Bornardo Soto ,
the president of the republic , withdrew , some
time ago , from the active administration of
'
his otltco , Esqmvcl bo eamo acting picsidont
in his stead Last August the charge that
ho was using bis place to forward his election -
tion induced him to call back President Soto ,
who accordingly resumed onlco Affairs
then went on moro quietly ; but soon the
Ilodricuez party complained also of tbo attitude -
tudo of President Soto , and at longtb , by a
sudden armed uprising , early in the present
month , they compelled bis withdrawal and
put In his stead Dr Duran , a wealthy physi
cian who had served under him a short time
as minister of publia works , during the au
tumn , and had then resigned This was a
practical demonstration of Rodriguez's power
In San Jose Since , outside of the capital ,
In tbo country districts , Rodriguez was
known to bo the stronger , tbo report imme

Distillation of Absinthe
The distillation of nbslnthe is becom
ing an important industry in Franco ,
says the Pittsburg Dispatch The upper
leaves and twigs of the wormwood plant
nro macerated with hysop , caiamus , cit
ronoiloaniso , funnel , badinno and other
vegetable substances , and the decoction
thus obtained , after having boon.dis
tilled , is treated with alcohol , sweet
cnod and colored Absinthe is a power
ful but destructive nerve stimulant ,
which may bo valuable in cases of ox-
hnnstion or oxtromu fatigue , but like
chloral and opium , it is liable to
abuses , which , in the uggregate , far
outweigh all the benefits which nro do
rlvod from its logltiinuto use Other
profitable industries peculiar to south
ern Franco are the distillation of es
sential oils from wild aromatic plants ,
the manufacture of perfumes from culti
vated flowers , and ttio preparation of
preserved fruits by the process of crys-
tuli/ation. Eaoh has boon built up in
its so para to locality , and become prac
tically a monopoly The same maj' bo
said of the manntneturo ot the celebrated -
bratod liquors , boncdiotiuo tind chnr-
trouse A fabulous sum was recently
offered to the monks of La Grande
Chartreuse , not for the secret of the
manufacture , but for the right to use
tbo original labels nnd bottles which
are the guaranty of the gonulnonoss
and purity of the liquor
An llonorablo Merchant
Several yonrs ugo a Boston merchant
failed in business , owing many thou
sands more than ho could hope to pay ,
with no assets but health , strength and
strict integrity , says the Boston Budget
Among his ci editors wus a brother mer
chant to whom ho owed $11,000 , which
in course of time was charged to profit
and loss and probably forgotten Some
years uftorwai d the creditor died , and
till evidence of the debt died with him ,
his children having no knowledge of it
But fickle fortune unexpectedly smiled
upon the bankrupt , and his efforts
to recover himself and regain his lost
wealth were crowned with success Ho
romomborcd his debt , and , outlawed
though it was , determined to pay it
Ho sought out his creditors children ,
and , relating the circumstances , in
sisted upon their rocolving the amount
ot the debt , with compound interest ,
paying thom upward of $10,000. exact
ing but ono condition , that the fact
should novcr bo mentioned publicly ,
and it is now made known for the first
time , after , ho has been long in his
grave Jt ) s fair to presume that ether
obligations were root in like manner
Colonel Henry L. Higgineon , of the
firm ot Leo , Higglnson & Co , is the son
of this man , who paid to the children
the debt he owed their father

There is nn unwrlttun chapter In Hulls
life that at this time may bo of Interest
The murder nnd robbery for which ho was
convicted nnd Bontonccd to the state peniten
tiary for lifo , was not his first crlmo , ns litis
boon so rcpeatodly stated A few yenrs ago
ho was arrested In Andrew county , Missouri ,
on the chnrgo ot murder , and although his
guilt was clearly proven ho escaped on the
pica ot Insanity and nttcr spending a Boason
lit an lusano asylum ho wns bronounccd
cured and rogatucd his llborty
Shortly after this ho .oamo to Ne
braska and in 1SS3 committed the
crlmo for which ho was Borvlng sentence
prior ta his oscnpo
tlarry Hall was n bright young follow
During boyhood duvs his educational ndvnn-
tages were especially line nnd ho is there
fore well educated , Ho is a innstor ot tolcg-
rnphy , stenography and book-keoplng , and na
expert penman It is said that ho is fitted to
fill nny business position in the catalogue
He Is uffablo mid bland and linblo to decaivo
the most curoful reader of human nnturo
Ho was reurod in luxury and to this it is said
ho attributes his downfall His father , Dr
Hall , who lives in St Joe , Mo , is n mini of
great wealth nnd inlluonco It Is reliably
learned that Harry was the pet and idol of
his mother , and that her Influences ia mat
ters rotating to her husbands discipline of
his boy provoked n rupture that ultimately
led to their separation In any event Mrs ,
Hall lives with her pnronts in Pennsylvania ,
while the doctor continues to practice his
profession at St Joe
Harry's proficionoy as a bookkcopor at
tracted Warden Nobo's attention booh after
ho was committed to the pen , and ho was
placed at the head of the clerical

private secretary
When Hyors took charge of the pen Hall
wns retained in a Ilka capacity Ho wns the
trusty of the institution , aud was a prlmo
fnvonto with every nttnrhoc
During these yoais frequent efforts wcro
made to secure his pardon January 4 , the
day before his escape Dr Hall , cx-Corjgress-
mau Craig and Bishop Worthlngton of St
Joe visited the governor nnd made a special
pica in his behalf , but failed to secure his
pardon , The governor thought the crlmo
for which ho wns convicted mid cntcncod
too atrocious to wnrrnnt intervention on
his part Up to this time it was thought
that his chances for pardon wcro good In
tbo minds of most people ncquaintod
with the surroundings it Is now thought
that Dr Hall informed his son that his case
was hopeless nnd that cscapo was the only
way to freedom Ho that as it may , the
trusty walked out January C , lbb8 , on a
trivial excuse , and successfully bafllod ovcry
effort to effect his capture until now
At the time murmurs were loud that
certain officials had been bought
to liberate him His caoturo , after
persistent effort , however , gives the
lie to this theory In spunking of this mat
ter this morning Governor Thayer said that
ho was highly gratified that Hall had been
recaptured He also said that ho had not
lost sight of the fact that bo was a fugitive
from Justice since tha day ho made his break
for liberty ; that with Warden Hopkins every
feaslblo effort had been made to effect his
recapture ; that detectives bad bcon kept on
his track and ttiat rewards haa been kept
posted to induce the necessary vigilance In
concluding the governor said with emphasis
that certain infamous scoundrels had nc-
cusea him of conniving at Halls escape , but
th it the fugitives racapturo had disproved
this charge "
Since Halls oscauo a reward of MOO has
been kept standing for bis capture Tbo state
offered $300 , and C. VV Moshor , president of
the Capital National bank ( JOO Ho , too ,
expresses gratification at tbo capture
