WASHINGTON I ) . O. , August 10. |
An ex-union soldier from tlio fur west who
came to Washington the other day for the
purpose of securing a position in one of the
departments and being unnhlo to pass a civil
service examination proved unsuccessful in
Ills ambitions , complained that there was not
being done for the aoldicn what there could
be dono. This complaint is doubtless often
entertained by soldiers who can not got po-
hltions where they wish them. The western
visitor was asked to tuko a. position nt tlio
Junction of the New York avenue , Fourteenlh
street mid Pennsylvania avenue nt a quarter
to nine o'clock In the morning and view tbo
thousands of employes of the treasury , stntc ,
var mid navy departments on their way to
work.
Within ten minutes the soldier saw somo-
vhoro between fifteen and twenty-five hun
dred soldiers pass him on their way to their
dally labor as clerks mid other department
employes. Ho could look In no dltcction
without seeing the streets literally filled with
men wearing Cinuid Army of the Republic
mid other solulcr emblems , while hundreds of
thcmllmpod on iirtllleUu or wounded limbs
or carried unfilled coat sleeves. Tlio man
was astounded to sen tbo largo proportion of
soldiers in the grc.it throngs , and asserted
that moro than one-half of the men were
toldicrs.
When lie was told that moro than half of
the women were near relatives of living or
dead soldiers , ho declared that no other evi
dence could have been presented to him to
have made him belluvo that as much had
boon done for the veterans as has really been
done. Tlio majority of appolntu CH under the
present administration have been given good
positions on account of their own military
records or the soldier records of a husband ,
father , brother or son.
oiT.nvrioN oi' TIIK XBW MIVIU : LAW.
From every direction coma reports which
arc highly satisfactory as to the results of
tbo silver coinage law. There are no men
who more readily learn of good or hard times
than those who occupy scats in congress.
Whenever their constituents are linancially
strained complaints Immediately direct them--
bolves toward Washington , nud demands nro
made for all sorts of legislation intended to
furnish nioru money and better markets.
Not a complaint hut ) been heard us to the
effects of the silver law and the reason is
f "obvious. Prices have already advanced for
all hinds of articles for sale , and new markets
have been opened for products which wcro a
glut. The prospects for n greater volume of
currency liuvu induced thousands of capital
ists to seek invus tments , and those who have
money to loan are eager to renew mortgages
when they reach maturity. Interest is stead-
. lly decreasing and offers of money multiply
ing. It is expected that nearly $100,01)0,000 ,
will bo put nliont by tlio adoption of the sil
ver bill before tbo end of six months from
the time the hill became a law. Then everyone -
ono knows Hint tbo law Itself put into cx-
istiMico about t. > 5,000,000 n year. Mining In
terests have been augmented , and tlio far
wcs' , Is going to boom.
Tun Her. corrosjiondciit today hud a talk
with Senator Sander * of Montana , who is a
capitalist and largely Interested in silver
mines. He was n strong advocate of free
coinage , but from the outset acknowledged
that such a law as wo have now would bo
better than absolute fieo coinage. Homiys
ho is receiving constantly letters from mine
owners and men employed In all sorts of
trades , and they report u steady-growing ro-
llof In money 11111110111. The banks , bo says ,
-i , nro receiving doposlts from eastern ntpital-
' * . IsUi to bo placed upon real estate in the far
west , and there is every indication that inter
est will decrease for western bonnwcrs
while tbu knowledge th.it the government in
tends to largely 'Increase its tlnancial circula
tion will have the effect of making largo capi
talists anxious to get their money Into purnm-
jfuntuso.
Senator Sandcm believes that we are to
enter upon an era of prosperity never before
equalled , and ho says the record of a panic
cvorv ten or twelve years in this country will
surely bo broken this time , as bo does not see
how It would bo possible for a stringency in
the monny market to arise under the opera
tion of the silver colnairo law. The placing
of nearly $5MMHK ( ) a month into the hands of
the pcojilo per force of law , without any ccs-
KiU Ion for tiny reason , will alone bo enough
to give the necessary confidence in order to
ward off distress. ' Senator Sanders believes
that the silver coinage law alone will bridge
over the chasm mndo among the farmers by u
short crop this year.
AM.ISON OX TUP. SII.VKK IAW.
Senator Allison of Iowa , is In position to
six-ak of the practical results of the now
t-ilvcr law , us ho represents one of the most
extensive agricultural constituencies in the
country , nnd Is u man of national affairs and
wide experience. He said todays
' I have not beard a single complaint
agnlnst tlio proposed operation of the now
silver coinage law. 1 think all of my constlt-
uonts uro thoroughly pleased with It , nnd
t It will result In much good to the busl-
nt-ss Interests of the people. It will undoubt
edly give the farmers higher prices for their
products and operate greatly to tlio ud-
vuntnge of labor , as nn advancement of
prices for \vesellnl\vays c.n-rlos wllh it
un Incivaso of wages to the laborer and
mechanic , The talk about stopping coin-
ngo under theo | > orntUm of the law is u
deinocr.ilio movement tn prejudice tlio ignor-
iint. There will bo no cessation of colnugo as
long us there U uuy demand for silver dollars ,
and whenever coinage Mops the puix'haso of
bullion will continue Just the same , nnd the
Issuance of certificates upon the deposit of
the bullion will continue just thu sumo u *
jrjgh the coinage was going on.
"If there Is iiodcuiui.il for silver by the
business Interests of tlio country there is no
use to coiithmo coinage , and It Is far better
to buy the bullion nnd pile it up In thu tivns-
ury and at tlio minis lor redemption of the
certltleuk-s ami give material for themints to
work upon when the silver is wanted for
clrculallou. Those who know nothing about
t ho practical operations of n silver coinage
law Vttit , of c6ur. o , bo projmlicod against It by
thii announcement that coinage Is to cease
nftcr a , certain dnlo. N aurally the mferenco
Is tlmt there U to bo nvo. < traction of thoeir-
calatlon , Thuro is to DO roliingowhenever
tbu demands of the people suggest It and
when the money Is wanted for circulation.
It would bo nnwlso and impolitic and bad
financial management lo continue tbo coinage
if ( tie tllvcr is not wanted. Thu business
Interests of the country will never demand
silver for circulation and find the govern
ment unitblu to furnish ij. promptly , 1 tlilnk
thu now hllver coinage lnw l.s otio of thu irfost
Important pieces of legislation have had
iu many yours , and I think It will help us on
to renewed prosperity , "

this representative , has stopped forward at

tbo public that ho should stay In n plnco
whcro he Is likely to do n great deal of gooil.
All along helms been the private source of
much Informal Ion on points of law to those
who came to consult him from all over the

could net Join the rush and howl In the early
days of the session , tlmt looked to a man of
Ids dignified poise so much lilio n mob.
This very modestly led bltn to declare him
self unwilling to accept , oven if offered him ,
a second term , moved us ho was by the deep
disgust he felt for the some times rather
breezy sessions ot tlio lower house ; but now
that he bus found bow much a in in may bo
nblo to do , even m splto of this , it is hoped
that ho will bo Induced to reconsider tills
Inmty conclusion and bo returned to the scathe
ho has filled with such unusual ercdlt. The
pcoplo will make a great mistake If they fall
to keep their ropii-sentutlvo , for It is very
se.dom that a new man enters congress who
Is acknowledged , ns.ludgo liccd has been , as

DOS Moines played her last championship
game of the season yesterday aftcnioon , nnil
n Rood crowd Untied out to sou her farewell.
Hereafter her iiiimo Is Lincoln , niul thus
tlio great iinil glorious sttito of Nebraska will
liavo two clubs In the Western association.
The transfer was effected yesterday. Dave
Howe wns down there and effected the change ,
nnil again the whole association Is h.ippy.
Lincoln gets the franchise mul team intact.
A stock company , composed of six or eight
solid business men , will huudio the enter
prise.
They agree to maintain the team without n
break until the close of the soaion. and next
year promise to got an aggregation together
that will set Suit Creek on lire.
But the game yesterday.
It was n good ono and Ointiha ngnln won.
By the skin of iior Incisors , however , for
the trmismourifled Prohibitionists played
llko u lot of rejuvenated colts.
They were in it from the start to the finish ,
nnd for n timeit looked serious enough for
Hauralmn'a lambs.
The game opened with a corker by Jimmy
Catiavati , and before any one hardly expected
any such n brilliant manoeuvre , ho stole both
second and third.
But ho took root on the latter cushion.
Walsh struck out. ICearus reached llrst on
four \\ldo ones and stele second , ' ' 'lien Clove-
hind followed Joo's example and Hunrahiiii
was thrown out at first by the old revolu
tionary hero , Dickie I'helan.
And It was n goose egg after all.
The young amateur , Mr. ftlcyers , seemed
to liuvo a sort of toxologlcul convolution to
his shoots that the boys weren't ' familiar
with.
But that is most always the case with n
new twlrlcr , especially until ho has been siied
up a hit.
Dos Moines took an egg In her'n , too , and a
feeble cheer started the sparrows from the
grand stand rafters.
In the second thr > Black Sox helped them
selves to another dish of eggs , but not so with
the inetoinorphosed aggregation from over
the river.
By a little splendid sequential hitting they
got in a couple of earned runs.
In quick succession Phelnn , Clara , Urimblo-
cum and Mncullar laced out singles , the two
llrst reaching the plato. This wui accom
plished on Miioullur's drive. It had side
whiskers and a goatee , mid all tbu runners
caiho within an ace of scoring , Brlmblocoin
succumbing only by a hair's iircudth at the
plato on a magnificent throw homo by Ivo.irns.
Hart then filed to Cleveland , and young
Meyer * dallied thrice with tlio ambient air.
And still Omaliu stuck to her egg-nogg in
the third.
Mr. Meyers was doing himself proud.
In their half the Dus Molncs men miule
their third tally.
Pulton wentta" llrst on balls. A wild pitch
let him ninety feet further on , and on TrulT-
lev's rotund two-sacker ho dusted tlio plate.
* The next three men wcro easily retired.
it was inoro egg-plant in the fourth for tno
Ilanrahan family , and not to bo too greedy ,
Des Moines took a slice , too.
In the llfth Omaha began to measure Mr ,
Meyers , and the In morons swelling Unit had
begun to make Itself noticeable in the young
man's cranium almost wholly disappeared.
Walsh smashed out ono for three cushions
to start with , and tlicn after Kcarns turn
fouled out to Trufllov , who imulo ft
great catch , Cleveland hit her
for three more. Of coin-so Joe ambled
leisurely In mid Elmer followed a moment
later on a well placed sacrifice by the rubes-
cent Hunrahuii ,
Dos Moines took another omelet.
Again Omaha came back hard.
Moran went out on a dust disturber to
Flanagan , but tin error by the same gentle
man gave Clarke n life. Then Cmmvan
sauntered up and achieved his third straight
hit , which scored Dad , and the throw In left
Jim on third.
Walsh hero started the echoes by again
hitting for three bases , coining In almost im
mediately himself on n very sunburnt play
by Major Cluro.
No moro scoring was done until tlio eighth ,
and then Omaha succeeded In capturing a
two-carat solitaire.
Kearns got Ids base by reason of Mr.
Meyers inability to "trim 'em over. " Cleve
land made a single and Tommy went to
second. Traflley's wild throw to catch him
napping , went about nine degrees nor'west ' ,
and of course ho scampered homo.
And that was all. DOS Moines wouldn't
give up , however , and on u double by Tmllley ,
a single by Phclan and a tlirco-sacker by
Flanagan , came within one of lining the
score.
That is , they made two tallies.
Uoth teams , llnlshed on et'gs scrambled in
the ninth , nud tlio day was won.
That makes nine games out of tlio last
twelve played for Omuha , and yet there Is mi
army of unreasonable cranks who continue to
cry "why don't they ploy bull ) "
Hero is the score :
OMAHA.

A MaKitillcunt. I-Jxhihltloiiby tlio Noted
Oarsmen.
Tbero'woro fully 0,000 people at Lake Man-
awn yesterday afternoon to witness u contUi-
nation of the rare aquatic sport furnished
by the woild famous oarsmen , Ilanlun and
O'eciner.
It was not a pnrtlcaliirly brilliant assem
blage , though the performance was excep
tionally brilliant.
Nature has seldom over provided a moro
perfect day for such an occasion. The uir
was cool , sweet and bracing ; so delightful ,
indeed , as to uukn all fonrct the discomfort
occasioned 113tliu many little clouds of dust
which whirled together and formed a great
ono along the country roadways , and up to
the very cdgo of the lake whcro the spec
tators gathered.
A fmv handsome cnulpages from both cities
added touches of brilliancy to the scene.
Hut whatever the crowd may have lacked
In the matter of swell society people was
fully atoned for in numbers , and therefore in
point of attonditnco there was no cause what
ever for complaint.
1 ho race I
it was certainly n mngniticcnt oxiitimion or
oar work , the llko of which not ono of the entire -
tire ( ! , WK ) who witnessed It will probably ever
see equalled , much less surpassed.
The feather-like shells of the notable water
kings wcro examined with the givutest of
curiosity and Interest by thousands of
people bofuro being launched for the work of
the hour , ami their rcmarkablo workmanship
certainly repaid all the attention which they
elicited.
The long , roomy pavilion and the shorn for
an eight of a mile ut either end was packed
with people when the celebrated oarsmen
milled up to the Hug which marked the start
ing point.
A mighty cheer , which seemed lo cause n
small tidal wave to speed across the lake ,
shook the air us the two gentlemen came Into
position and dolled their silken caps to the
audience.
Then cnmo n lull , during which a represen
tative of Tun DKB , who had been chosen to
act as starter and referee , culled out :
{ i"tlentlomen , arc you ready ! ' ,
Thocontiistuut-t-bowcd ufllnnutlvely , and
amid a silcnco that wns wonderful In tlio
presence of so vast an audience , 'tho word
