A brief but comprehensive review of the important work done by congress is given , together with a forecast of what may be expected of the presontcongross. Always interesting , our Washington letter this morning fairly bristles with timely and reliable information. " \YiTH the premium on gold advanced to two hundred nml two per cent , the president of the Argentine Republic has authorized the issue of bank notes to the amount of ono hundred million dollar : for the purpose of relieving the financial situation. And Just as fast as the him dred million Irredoomnbla paper cur- runoy goon into circulation gold will advance - vance in proportion and times will bo harder than over.

There being no doubt that the presi dent will sign the Bllvcr bill 'which has passed both houses of congress the ques tion may bo regarded as disposed of. for the present. The silver bill is distinctly a republican measure. In both the Bon- tito and the liouso It encountered demo cratic criticism and opposition , all the democrats voting upon it in cither house going on record against it. In the sentito the bill won passed by a party vote of thlrly-nlno to twenty-six and in the house the vote on the measure was ono hundred and twenty- two to ninety. Tito people of the coun try will BCO from this how little sin cerity there was In Iho professed desire of the democrats to increase the circula tion and enlarge the employment of sil ver In tlio currency. * \Vo \ have heretofore Bald that the bill is doubtless n.s fair a compromise as it was possible to arrange , and the general expression regarding it shows it lo bo satisfactory to all but the extremists on botlt sides. Tlio net Is to take effect thirty day from and after ' its passage , BO that be ginning about the middle of August the United States treasury will tnl < o all the silver offered to It at what the secretary finds to bo the market price up to the limit of four and a half million ounces a month. In payment the treasury will issue certificates , or treas ury notes , which will bo a legal tender for all debts , public and private , unless otherwise oxprebsly provided for in the contract. Those notes will bo redeema ble on demand in coin , gold or silver at the discretion of the secretary , and may bo reissued whenever they eomo into the treasury. "Whon . hold by any national blinking association such notes may bo counted as a part of its lawful reserve. The compulsory coinage of silver dollars under the present law will cease when the new act goes into operation , and the secretary of the treasury is only required to coin each month two million ounces of the silver bullion purchased into standard dollars until July 1,1801 , and after that to coin only BO much as maybe bo necessary to provide for tlio redemp tion of silver notes. The treasury is not required to purchase under any cir cumstances fourand a half million ounces each month , but only so much thereof as may bo offered at the market price , not oxccpdlng ono dollar for three hun dred and Bovonty-ono and a quarter grains. It is possible that in any month or several consecutive months the quan tity offered at the market price may bo less than four and a half million ounces. It ia expected that under this act the treasury will absot b the present produc tion of American mines , but some in crease in the production Is reason ably counted upon. At the pre vailing market price of silver per ounce the purchase of fifty-four million ounces annually would require the issue of notes to the amount of fifty- six.mlllion four hundred thousand dollars lars ; with silver at par the maximum issue of notes under the not would bo sev enty million dollars. Tiioro has boon a great reduction of the number who bo- liovcd when the enlarged use of silver In Iho currency was first proposed in the present congress that tlio inflation would bo detrimental and dangerous , and very few now contend that the addition to the circulation which the now law provides for will bo unsafe. Whether it will result in so largo a measure of bonoill to the general business of the country as many anticipate time alone can determine. RESTbKSS EUKOPE. There has boon no recent circumstance of greater importance as indicating the restless condition of Europe than the announcement in the latest dispatches that Emperor William had decided to shorten his voyage and return to Kiel July 21. Only a very grave state of af fairs would have induced the emperor to abandon a cruise just entered upon and from which ho was known to anticipate very great pleasure , and It is entirely safe to conclude that his tlocisoa was not nindo without a most earnest appeal from the homo government. William has nhown himself a man not easily disturbed by political events apd ho turns reluctantly from the pursuit of pleasure , so that his course In the present wise indicates an extraordinarily pressing and imperative demand upon him , Tlio causes named for the interference with Kmporor William's voyage are the gravity of the situation in the Balkans , the Increased prospect of trouble with Franco , and the agreement with 'Eng land regarding a division of territory in Africa. The first of these sources of un- onslncssand apprehension Is chronic , and with the addition of a few now complica tions it Is not now in Its essential character - actor different from what It has boon for Bovoral years. The conflicting interests of Austria and Russia in the Balkan pe ninsula , and the determination of Rus sia , manifested openly and insidiously , to Increase its power there , sooins likely to continue a cause of disturbance and a monaco to tlio pcnco of Europe so long as anything remains for Russia to desire. Tlio dispatches say that at the coining conffroncb between Kmporor William and the oznr the resources of diplomacy will bo exhausted in a final effort to hurtnoni/.o Austrian and Russian , rela tions in the Balkans. Doubtless no ono expects that tlio object sought will bo attained , and in the almost certain event of fallur ) how much longer can the sit uation remain in the condition of the last two years ? The abdicatioa of Prince Ferdinand , which Is thought to bo probable , with n subsequent revo lution in Bulgaria , it is said will not bo allowed to Involve an immediate European war , but this is looking at the matter from the Gorman point of view. There is a meas ure of reassurance in the peaceful ex pressions of leading Russian nowspa- jKsrs , but the czar gives no sign , while there Is a report that his advisors nro urging upon him that the tlmo is oppor tune for war. Tlio result of the im perial interviews which nro expected to tnko place about the middle of August will be awaited by all Europe with the keenest Intorobt , The schemes of African coloni zation nro responsible for the now misunderstanding- I'ranco. which ia not likely to provo particularly serious , The Trench government ob jects to nn article in the convention be tween Germany and llngland regarding the division of territory In Africa as In terfering with the French claim to the Upper Niger and as leading to the future extension of the AnghvGormun spheres of Influence from the Niger to the Nile. This may bo a merely capri cious objection , but it is obviously not to grave and formidable a matter as to en danger the peaceful relations of the two countries. The situation In eastern Europe is , however , threatening , and continued peace or an early wir nay lie determined by the imperial conference- to bo held a month hence. THIS interests in Germany which do- slro the repeal of the law prohibiting the importation of American pork ap pear to bo pressing their case upon the attention of the government very earn estly. They urjjo that Germany cannot produce pork enough to satisfy her own wants , nnd that the price hns risen so enormously that poor people cannot buy pork. As this meat is the only ono which the common people of Germany have over been able to use to any great oxloni , that Is , as u regular part of their diet , the hardship of de priving them of it by reason of the high price Is very seriously felt. Complaint from this source lias been made to the government for two or thrco years , but it was powerless against the donmnd of the larmors and porlc puckers for protection. Now the pack- era say the prohibition of Amuricnn porlc has brought them no advantage , and they are joined In the petition ask ing that the prohibition bo rescinded by the steamship companies , who nro losers by the law , and by firms and corporations In sympathy with the pooplo. Unquestionably the farmers have profited by Iho protection , but having failed to provide a supply equal to the demand , their sol fish Jo- slro to perpetuate a policy which works hardship to so largo a body of people ought not to bo complied with. It ap pears that the proposal of the United States to provide a national system of inspection is being used as a support to the appeal for a removal of the prohibi tion against American pork. This In dicates the importance of that measure. THE admission o ! Idaho and "Wyoming adds six strong points to the certainty of republican victory in 'Uli. But these are not the only olomcnts in securing a continuance of republican auproruacy. No matter on what basis the ronpnor- tloument under thy ckjyenth census is made , the western states , the strongholds of republicanism , are certain of a largo increase in representation. If the ratio of population to congressmen is in creased to prevent the house becoming unwieldy , the eastern states and iiuny of the southern states will lese in con gressional strength and the west will gain in proportion. In any event the solid republican states of the west and northwest will give the party a substan tial lead , with jnoro than a lighting clianco for any ono of the pivotal states. Ono gratifying result of.thoreappOL'tlon- mont will bo the destruction' Now York and Indiana as the arbiters of the presidency. Tlio republican party can win without them , ON the principle that misery loves company , the Topeka C ] ) i < Zis boldly battling for prohibition in Nebraska. This service is not entirely gratuitous , for the prohibition bir'l : Is as freely on tap as ancient and original package H in the shadow of the Kansas capital. The assertions of the organ are marked with the same rcckletoiiesH which is the most conspicuous feature of the work of hired agitators from abroad. The Cup itul de clares "that the writer has' a. score of times soon men come in on the trains and run with empty bottles to the near est drug stores in vain for whisky , in spite of the most plausible stories of their own necessity. " Two months ago the editor of the sheet proclaimed in tin interview that whisky could bo had in Topeka , but "ivo have driven the saloon from politics. " In other words , the saloon signs are gone , but the drug store , tlio bootlegger , the joint and the original package have taken their place , double-docked contemporary has hauled down its calls for democratic conventions , It is , perhaps , getting ready to turn a riomorsault.
