(Crowded out frow Lat Week ) Two weeks apo, the eilver men were mastert of the situation. The repealers seeing no prospect for a vote had deter mined to employ the only method known to the senate for forcing; a measure to a vote a contiguous session. They had little hope of sueces, but they tried it On the eveting of October 11, the "test cf physical endurance" began with Sf nator Allen on the lloor. How well equipped aud how fully prepared he was for such a test, the result showed. For nearly fi'teen bour3 be held the floor never flagging, never appearing to crow weary. . The ablest and most cunning debaters of the opposition ex hausted every means In their power t confuse hi in, to entrap him, to break down his argument. But tbey failed completely. For every lucstion he had an answer, and be knocked don their argumebtsas fast as they could set them up. 'Eight o'clock the cext morning found him still pouriog forth a stream of unanswerable logic, appar ently as fresh as when he begao. At that hour, although not nearly through with his speech, be gave way to Senator Martin of Kansas who be d the lloor all day Wednesday. Uut I. need not go farther Into details Such a fight could Lave but one ending and that soon came. Calls for a quorum become more frequent. Tbe number of senators who responded b.'come smaller and smaller, until finally no quorm responded and none could be secured. Then the re ptalcrs were forced to acknowledge themselves defeated and Voorbees, their leader, moved to adjourn. After this there was a brief lull in the battle. , It was generally conceded that tbe repeal bill would never pass; ' After 1 the lull, there was a period of four days occupied In a confused running fight in which the amendment of the rules and tbe correction of the journals were the topics of discussion. The silver men defended their rights of obstruction, and tbe repealers threatened to ride rough shod over their opponents and pass tbe bill regardless of rules. High temper and great bitterness were dis played especially by Democrats of tbe opposing factions. Many hot words -were uttered, and several ' times sena torial courtesy crept under tbe desks to eseare total demolition. Finally John Sherman arose and taunted the democratic majority with its failure to accomplish, anything, in a way that stung the members of that party. The Democratic silver men then began streauosly urging a caucus.' The ad ministration wing refused to fcnter a caucus but compromise talk eoon be came the order of the day.' A com promise was arranged between the Democratic factions which was little better than a complete surrender oh the part of the silver men. It provided for repeal of the purchase clause to take effect in one year, and for the coinage of all silver bullion in tbe treasury, "lhis it wag understood Cleveland would accept. Thirty-seven out of fort v -four democratic senators signed it, but seven of the repealers refused. The silver Democrats had made ft political blunder. They had shown miserable weakness. Grover Clee'and saw his advantage, and promptly seized it. Word came from the White House that no com promise would bo approved. Then there was swearing and gnashing of teeth" among Democrats, The silver men declared they had been entrapped and betrayed, but the administration leadsrs smiled. Although tbe silver Democrats talked louder than ever, and declared they wojldfillibuster "till the infernal regions were converted into a tkathg p-nd," their courage oollapswd as soon as put to the test, The silver lb-publicans and Populists, realizing thnt tbe Democrats were no longer to be dcpeided on, gave them to under stand that thry m Is ht take the lead In the light from this on. In ten raluutcn after this word was given out the Dem ocrats wllud completely and the great contest was over.

Conventions to promote eloer troda rela'Joai have 1 rtady been he!d at Caad Forks &:d St. lV.il, whk-h wtre a'Urnded by men of all political parties fron bo'a !dcs cf the interactional bounliry liae. The third convention wa to Laze a:s. mbled in Du'uth lat month (October), but it was deemed wise to postpone it for a time, owing to tbe probability of small attendance on account of the financial depression. But it has only been postponed, cot absndoned. There is a deep-seated and abiding conviction in the minds of men of the Northwest that it would be to their mutual Inter est to trade more freely together. Fu ture conventions will carry forward the work that has been already begun, and in due time the matter will ba pressed upon tbe attention of the respective governments, until tbey take tbe mat ter up, and the wishes of the Canadian and American Northwest will be fcrant ed in so far as the right) of all the peo ple cf both nations will permit It is a hopeful sign that this purely bUiilnes question has been taken up in a purely business way, and politics, in the sense of partisanship, has been left en'irely out of tbe consideration.- From Mr. S. J. Thompson's article, '.' Possibilities of Ike Gnat Xorthuest," November Jteoieir of Rt vines. . k Reduction of Gold Output. Were gold likely to ba produced In ample quantities a very moderate year ly output of sliver might seem inordi nate; but this i far from being the prospect. The world's annual output of gold, already too slight to meet tbe multiplied demands upon It, will be materially reduced should the silver mines remain inactive. It has been thought t-at one- third of the gold pro duct of the United States comes from silver mines and must be lost if they close. Tb Is Is probably an ovei estimate for the entire country, though not far out of the way for the Rocky Mountain area. Thirty-three per cent, of tho gold produced in our country comes from California alone. Very few prominent Colorado mines yield gold only or chiefly. Colorado contributes about 15 per cent, of the United States output of gold, of which at least one half depends at present upon the continuance of sil ver mining. In time, of course, this will change somewhat . Already many miners hitherto engaged in extracting silver are turning their attention to placer gold mines. They will produce but little this year, as the season is too far advatced for the necessary water to be available; and the amount from this source can never be great since most ef these placers are already worked out. From President K. B njamin Andrew's article, "The Future of Silver Production," November Review of Reviews. The New Nomenclature. "Mr. What's-hls-name, the new min ister to Italy, is well qaallfled for the position. He is rated at $12,000,000. . Thai's a good idea. Family names were largely accidents. The son of John became Johnson. The son of Peter, Peterson, etc. Or a man is called "tirown," or Jtflacay or White," or "Tawney" or "Gray," or Ling" or "Short or "Stout," because of the physical peculiarities of some remote ancestor. But those names throw no light on the teal man of today: Mr. "Black" may be red haired; Mr. "White" may be black-haired; Mr. "Long'' may be short-legged and Mr. "Short" may be long-legged. But money! Ah! there's rub! It is wbat a man is worth, not what he is, that determines his portion. For in stance, "Mr. Twelve Millions" is fit to go as minister to Italy; or to beoomc IT. S. Senator. But Mr. Two-dollars-and-a-half would convey the evidence of his mental and social inferiority In his very name; there would be no use of bother ing one's head any further about him. He is rated p.oecribid set down. Imagine a public meeting. The chair says "Mr Twenty Millions has the iioor." How the audience would hang with devout and rapt at ten tloa on his eyery utterance, even though they knew he had stolon every dollar cf his fortune. And then im aglne ' Mr. Thirty Sjven Cents" rising to reply to Mm! How the crowd would cough and shuttle and laugh and aneer and break for the door. The pior devil might have the wUdom of the bare footed S orates and the bones'yof tb bare-headed D'.ogene, but, lit tho ver nacular, -ha would not bo la it.

We do tot propose here and new to enter into an exhaus tive discission of. the question, but simply to call your atteouoi to the re-1 port made to the Fiftj firstcongress by tho judiciary committee, which had been instructed to investigate and re port to that body the extent of alien ownership of land in this country. In this report. No. 2,383, first session of the Fifty-first congress, we find the following: Your committee hftsasoertained with reasonable certainty that ccr.aln noble - men-Princioallv Kairihhmen-have ac imu quired and now own In the aggregate about 21,000,000 acres of land within the United Stales.

The avarice and enterptise of Eur: pean capitalists have caused them to invest in American railroads and land bonds, covering perhaps 100,000,001) acres, the great part of which, under foreclosure sal, will most likely before many yers become t,he property of those foreign bondholders in addition ts their present princely possession?. It is thus manifest tha; if ttie present large al!en ownership Is &i evil, of wLich we bave no doubt, the probabili ties of tbe near future will still more imperatively demand legislation for Its prevention. Thi aggressive foreign capl'al is not confined to lands it has purchased, but overlapping Its bound aries has caused hundreds of miles of Dublic domain to be fenced ud for the grazing of vast herds of cattle, and set at defiance the rights of the honest but humble settler. Tbe committee cites an instance In which Mr. Scully, a subject of the queen and residing in England, owns 1)0,000 acres of land In Illinois, tenanted by Ignorant foreigners from whom he re ceives 2t 0.000 per annum and expends it in England; and another instance, the Scbruley's estate in Pennsylvania from which they draw annual rentals of not less than 9100,000, and says, "no other nation in the world allows subjects of other governments to acquire such possessions within its jurisdiction" We present these extracts from this report to show that those who are in power now know full well whit is going on. They see the danger and cannot shirk It. This report was made by Mr. Oates, of Alabama, and he closes it with these words, which are as true as gospel: With the natural Increase tf popula tion ana the 500,000 foreigners who (lock to our shores annually aad by competi tion are reducing the wages of labor, the bittle ot life Is made harder to win. How, a few years hence, to provide homes for our poor people is a problem for the American statesmen to solve. The multiplication of the ownsrs of the s ill Is a corresponding enlargement of tbe number of patriots, and every land lord in this country should owe allegi ance to the United States. Now, we wish our people to see and to know that the party now In power sees and knows, and fully comprehends the meaning of this and other demands e make, and we wish tbe people to keep an eye on them and see if they will show themselves patriots enough to grapple with these questions and for- mu'ate them into laws. The American farmer and mechanic are not going to wait patiently until after the next con gressional election, and then vote for the pre-ent incumbent unless he proves himself worthy, ad he can only show this by earnest, persistent, honeBt wosk for needed reform.
