REPEAL OF THE SHERMAN LAW ASSURED
Ill * Viang Ktpremtxl After n Vl ll to

Hon. John P. Irish of Oakland , Cal. , who
iscotnonly Known ns the "tllvor-longiicd1
Cnllfornlnn , " was In the city yesterday
shaking hands with his numerous Council
IlluiTs friends. Ho has Just boon In Washing ,
ton , D. C. , where ho has had the host of
opportunities of viewing the situation In the
luglslnttvci departments of the government.
Mr. Irish Is n Itcon observer , nnd whatever
lit says may bo relied upon ns strictly
authoritative. Ho was seen by n. HEE repor
ter yesterday Just ns ho wns starting on his
westward trip and mnilo the following state
ment of his views :
"Tlicro will bo u clean repeal of the pur-
chnslng clause of the Sherman net by n ma
jority somowhcro between forty nnd seventy-
tlvo in the house and not less than four In
the senate. Thin majority will not bo drawn
on party lines at nil. I don't think there
will bo nny other financial legislation beyond
this , for the main reason that the sliver men
cannot agree among themselves on n coinage
ratio between silver and gold. Silver U al
ways lluctuntlng , so that It ls not suitnblo
for u standard hy which to measure vnluc.
It will always ho used as n subsidiary coin ,
nnd , to some extent , as n standard , hut tlio
main standard will always bo the metal
which docs not fluctuate , gold.
"The silver men asiuiuo thnt the repeal of
thn Sherman law will drive silver out of
circulation , but they know their assump
tion Is false.Vo now huvo J.MU-
000,000 of silver In circulation , nnd wo
will huvo no trouble wild financial
mnttcrs provided wo tlon't Increase the
amount of silver In circulation. Senator
Miindcrson's plan to Increase the amount of
money in circulation , by allowing national
hanks to enlarge their issue , Is u good one.
Cnii'U < if the I'resnnt Dnpromlon.
"Tho cause of our present financial diffi
culties , " ho continued , In reply to u question ,
'Is n lack of confidence , nnd that , in turn , Is
duo to the fear thnt wo might slump to a
silver basis. Half the money In the country
has been put Into cold storage since the
panic cnmo upon us. Six million dollars
wcro drawn out of the San Francisco banks
nlonc In two weeks. When confidence Is re
stored , us Senator Sherman himself has ad
mitted , it will bo by the repeal of the act
which bears his name , the amount of money
in uctlve circulation will bo doubled and wo
shall have no moro trouble.
"Tho trouble In the silver producing
stales , especially in Colorado. I attribute
mainly to u combine on the part of the niiuo
owners , created lor the purpose of affecting
legislation. Silver is now being produced ut
n cost of 12 cents an ounce In Colorado. At
n ratio of 1(5 ( to 1 , consequently the producer
wouli take sixteen ounces ot silver , worth
-f JI.U2 , to the United States mints und ro-
cclvo for It ono ounce of gold , the value of
which is ? J0.07. So , you see , the production
of silver can bo curried on nt quite a reason
able profit oven now , und millionaires could
nfford to shut down their mines for six months
if , by so doing , they could Insure the main
tenance of tlio present standard. The desire
to inlluciicc legislation I think is largely res
ponsible for the closing of the silver mines
In Colorado and the consequent outpouring
of an army of unemployed men unon the
tales farthest oast. As dead a give-away of
the exact stuto of affairs as I should wish
to see Is the fact that the cltlznns of Den
ver , trembling on the brink of poverty , as
ihoy claim , held n meeting n few days ago
to take steps toward helping the unemployed

Ever slnco the republican state conven
tion the democratic papers have boon In
dustriously circulating the report that Fr.uik
I ) . Jackson , republican nomlnoo for gov
ernor , Is n railroad tool. They have gotten
so into the habit of branding every nomlnoo
for ofllce us a corporation tool that they have
now begun to extend the branding process
into thuir own party ranks. Hon. Thomas
Howinan of Council niuffs. who was nomi
nated by the democrats for railroad com
missioner , Is the first nominee , so far ns can
bo learned from the returns now In , to bo
accused of receiving corporation support.
"If Jnckson.hadn't been nominated by the
republicans I urn satisfied that Howman
would have been n candldato for the nomi
nation for governor , " said a democratic ofll-
cial yestonlny. "Ho couldn't Uko thn nomi
nation after Jackson , for they're both rail
road men nnd that would have divided the
forces. It was a shrewd move to nominate
him. for that will ensure the railroads' sup
port of the whole ticket , whlch'ls equivalent
to an election. "
"It may bo n good thing for the ticket , "
retorted .1 bystander , "but would you con
sider It a good thing for the people to have n
railroad man for railroad commissioner ? "
The democratic official turned away nnd
his answer was lost in the folds of a satisfied
smile.

In addition to the teams already on the
ground , representatives of the South St.
Lcuts club , Johct , 111. , Milwaukee. Cnlhoun
and others , arrived to participate in the rltlo
contest.
As usual , many of the riflemen stood ready
to lire when the opening signal by tlio cannon
belched forth. Thereafter no tlmo was lost
by any of them.
In this way the forenoon passed under a
continuous fire without any other Incidents
to attract especial attention except the an
nouncement that the contestants had scored
the necessary number of points (125) ( ) for n
gold medal on the kohr target.
White these In the park , after partaking

The shady park by this tlmo presented an
animated scene with the band playing in ono
part , the singing society rendering songs in
another , the ascending and descending by
crowds of people of the steps to the bowling
alley , where a great deal of noise was oc
casioned by the rolling of the balls and the
dropping of the pins , but above all this din
the crack of the rifles reverberated around
the hills.
One feature of yesterday's program was
the shoot at n twenty-five ring target by
teams of six men , thoSt.Louis sharpshooters ,

quorum , and thus preventing any action i
being taken by the club. After thn board
had thus fixed matters as they
thought safe , then they called a
meeting of the stockholders on August
G. At this mooting there were present about
forty members , the president refusing to
allow proxies to bo used , and declared no
meeting. In' behalf of the club Attorney
Mahoncy arose and asked the president if no
would take u list of the members repre
sented by proxies to see whether there would
then bo a quorum. Upon doing this the
president announced that there would. Then
ho made a motion to appeal from the decision
of the chair ana declare the meeting open ,
which was carried. The president , soon llnd-
ng that thn law of the state of Nebraska in
egard to corporations was greater than the
> y-Utws of our club , or the amendments
thereto by his board , concluded to leave the
meeting and asked his friends to follow ,
some of whom did not know , und perhaps do
not know at this tlmo , the real object of the
club demanding H meeting , and it is hoped
upon reading' this that they will
see tliar. they have been misled.
I'ho board of directors has assumed a
right to do as they pleased regardless of
the constitution and by-laws of the club , or
what they knew to bo the wishes of a
majority of Its members. The constitution
of the stuto of Nebraska plainly states that
the stockholders and managers of all in
corporated concerns shall be elected by the
stockholders in porsou or by proxio , and in
no other way can these odlcors bo elected.
In this manner wo elected our seven direct
ors nt our January meeting , but live of
these directors have resigned and flvo others
elected by the board und not by the stock
holders. And now that this board
has seen fit to act so unwisely , is
it any more than riuht that the club
shall say "Haiti" and allow Its stock
holders to olco , flvo now directors and see
If they will not bo moro agreeable. For this
reason wo want every member of the club to
attend the meeting ut the Merchants hotel
on Furnain street , between Fifteenth und
Sixteenth streets , on Friday , August U5 , ut
8 p. in.
Wo have been promised a statement or re
port from the secretary and treasurer , show
ing the amount of cash on hand , and it Is
hoped that business may bo transacted at
this meeting satisfactory to all ; that har
mony may bo restored so there can boa num
ber of good hot matinees given In September
and October. STOCKIIOI.DEKS ,

followa : "A special jm otlug of the stockholders -

the above by-law und signed by about one-
half of the stockholders of tlio club und pre
sented to the president of the club , who
positively refused to call the meeting.
Having made tlio objects of the call of this

cully tender subjects for the board , they
held n meeting of the board nnd changed the
