This proposed measure gave preference To Silver over tioldi not only this, but it was uot open to further amendment. Today the value of silver in tho market of the world was something about 81. 0." an ounce. Hero was an otter to pay 4 cents an ounce more than tlio market prints.

Hut if it were admitted that silver Could Not K aeh Osld except by tho (iorernment paying a bounty to the producers of domestic silver, he did uot itiiuk there was any danger of the measure pissing. Sher-man spokri of tho Latin union, and said the United States was much more lib-eral to silver than was even Frnnce, and yet the senate had been told of the great prosperity of France; and that wonderful prosperity had been attrib uted to its treatment of silver. He said it was ridirulous to represent France as a stiver country. Silver waa not legal tender there for a higher amount than fifty fraucs. He did not see why his silver friends, nor the peo-ple, ought not to be satisfied With tha frraant law. It was a compromise proposition, made after grave reflection. Why should the bullion owners of Nevada and Colorado be paid more than the market price for their silver? The present law worked well. Last season It was agreed to by the silver men as all tney wanted. It contained a decla-tio- (which he thought was a point of honor) that it would be the established policy of the United States to maintain tho party of the two metals. Now within a year, a measure was proposed which would destroy that party, The immediate KfTantof Fraa Coinas:. would be to encrease the export of gold. While the currency would bo expanded by the issue of treasury notes, it would be contracted, by the exportation of gold. Another effect would be to increase the importation of silver. When the market for silver was in the most dis-turbed state possible; when the United States alone was bulling silver against the world; when the Latin nations were seeking a more staple standard, it was proposed that the United States should Btep in aud buy silver at a price far above tho market value. Was it not a WARNINC TO DEMOCRATIC SENATORS The Senator from Ohio Can't Sea Whr the Silver Men ara Klaklatc, W'ashinotom, D. C, Jan. 14 In the Senate the financial bill was taken up immediately after the reading of the journal. Ingalls add.-esse- the Senate, begining his speech with a bitter de-nunciation of the eindpendent in poli-ties. He said there were two porten-tlou- s evils which menaced the safety, if they did not endanger, the existence of the republic. The first was tho igno-rant, debased, degraded and spurious suffrage suffrage contaminated by the sewage of decayed a'ations suffrage. Intimated and Soppraaaad in the south suffrage impure and cor-rupt, apathetic and indifferent in the great cities of the north so that It was doubtful to his mind whether for a half century there bad been a presidential election in this country that had ex-pressed the deliberate and intelligent judgment of the whole body of the American people. The electson bill was intended to deafc with one part of this great evil to whiclthe eluded but it was an imperfect . ? Partial and ISfomplete ' remedy. Violence Is 'bad, but fraud is no better, and it was tho more danger-ous because the more insidious. There could be uo safety and no stable and permanent peace in this country and under this government until it was just as safe for a black republican to vote In Mississippi as it was for a White demo-crat to vote in Kansas. The second evil to which he had adverted was the Trraanj ef f inklad concentrated, centralized, conscience-less and incorporated capital and the people were considering that great problem. At the Jbeinning of the second century the.! AilV-icari-j, peoo had become profoundly Oortvinced that tke ballot was not 'a pSmtwiea for the evils of society, tbat it had not abol ished poverty, nor diminished injustice; they had discovered that political equality did not result in social fra-ternity; that under the democracy Caaeeatratlea of fireeter Power in fewer hands was more possible than under monarchy. George Wasbingtou the first president the republic had, in 17AI had the largest private fortune in the United State. All his belongings reached the sum fotsl of between ei it serious thing to make this offer, in view of the great store of silver in the world? Sherman said he was ashamed that a great nation like ours should be con-tent to Lower Its Stamard of value to join China, Japan and the South American States, and to leave the great company of commercial nations which now hopefully stood by the gold standard of value, for whatever might be said of silver, no one would questiou that In tbe great business transactions of life silver would not answer the pur-pose. It would be measured by tb ton.1 Gold alone was tho standard of r.sM'S..,. He eoyldsue nothing in tha fatu're of thrrmtoetir"(ept dismtstj fear and a change of values. It weulu injure all those who depend upon their labor and upon the production of the farm antl the workshop. There was no difficulty, Sherman asserted, in keep-ing gold and silver At Pari '.j whh Keen Other. When they were separated in market value, and when it was clearly seen that, either meta! was going down in value, then the ratio should be changed lie believed that the best money ever devised by man was the treasury notes of the United States issuing under the law of the last session, gold certificates and silver certificates. The common people believed in hard money. They were willing to have piper money, hut they wanted it maintained at par. Ho 11 1 Cautioned the Demot-ratl-senators from the east and the senators from the southern states, if they com-mitted themselves to the policy of the free coinage of silver, they would have the burden of that commitment next year, when tho responsibility of legisla-tion would be upon them; and reminded them that during the four years of dem-ocratic administration they had not dared to propose such a measure, but kept as quiet as possible; and no al-liance would drive them to the princi-ple of free coinage. For one, ho would stand by the legal standard of value, on which public and private contracts had been based. and nine hundred thousand dollars. That was less than a century ago. Since thst time the growth of wealth and numbers in the United States bad had no precedent. The nalldlng of Nat lone. The people of the United States now form one-thir- d nf the worlds mining popnlatisn, one-fourt- of its manufac-tn- g pepnlation. one fifth of its farming population and possess oue-sixt- of Its accumulated wsalth. He had read in the morning papers Sherman's speech, a considerable part of which was devoted to the nefenae ol the Millionaire. Tbe people had suddenly , awakened to the conception of the fact that the property of the country was passing in-to the hands of those senators for Ohio, called by Euprmism, speculators of the country. These men had no politics but plunder aod no principle but the spoation of the human race. It was no wonder the laboring and ag-ricultural classes of this country had at last awakened and the speculators must take warning. Referring To tha Lata Ettctloa he said it was neither a republican de-feat nor a democratic victory. It was a great uprising of those independent of and superior to both political par- - ties. It was a crisis that might become a catastrophe. It was a peaceful revo-lution. He attributed the depression of the country In a great measure to the demonitization act of 1873. He had not the slightest doubt that the great majority of the people, irrespective of party, were in favor of the Free Coinage of Sliver and had been for tho past fifteen years. Warnings and admonitions were plenty in this debate; but he would say to thoso who were arraying themselves against the delibdrately expressed judgment of the American people that there would come a time whon the people would not be trifled with on this subject, the political power of the nation transferred from tho circumference to the center and the people of that center were unanimously demanding the free coinage of silver. It was for that reason that he should cordiallv support the amendment of the senator from Nevada. Ingalls spoke for a little over two hours, and as he took his scat he was heartily applauded. .lones of Nevada then took the floor in favor of free coin-age. When he had concluded tho vice president announced that the debate was closed and the discussion of the amendments under the ten minute rule began. Shermaa Standa by Gold. Washington. Jan. 14. In the senate yesterday the financial bill was taken up, and Sherman addressed the senate. Tke senate amendment, be said, was a radical proposition which changed the whole character of the bill. It was a proposition that the United States should pay $129 for every ounce of sil-ver bullion that mignt be offered from any part of the world. Not only this, but it had no option as to the mode of payment. The option was iatbe .bands THE BASEBALL PLAYERS. The Bona of Contention In lit Meeting of tha Committees. New Yokk, Jan. 14. The conference committees of the League and the American association went into session this morning- - The principal loue of contontion was the question of allowing the American association club of Bos-ton.

Injunction papers were served on Chris You der A he of St. Louis, and President Parsons of the Louisville club. A NEW COUNTY IN IDAHO. Clmu Prairie Want to Out Lasee Vrem Logan. Hailey, Idaho, Jan. 14 Petitions were in circulation asking the legisla-ture to segregate Camas prairie from Logan county, and annex said prairie to Alturas, the argument advanced being that Logan county, in less than two years after her organization, had run behind financially, notwithstand-ing taxes were raised in excess of what they were when prahieites belonged to old Alturas, and the further fact that such are the state of finances now, without any expenditures for eonnty buildings or jail, aod but little expended on county roads the prairie receiving the insignificant sum of llBo in two years. What will our taxes be when county buildings are built? But two years of , county existence, and county warrants are worth but 75 ceuts on the dollar. Opponents of the measure argued that. noLwithstnnriin the admitted had financial outlook of Logan conuty, yet her property tax exceeds that of Altu-ras almost three to one, with many miles of railroad, and if her warrants aro worth but 75 cents on the dollar, they should under proper management be worth 100, wSlle those of Alturas are worth but AO cents, and unless the legislature grants her relief, will even go lower. So warm was the excitement that a mass meeting was called at Soldier to consider tho whole auestion. Many at-tended and the result of a long and ear-nest debate of the question by a num-ber of leading ranchers present was in favor of petitioning tho legislature to create a new county from the western portion of Logan, to wit: Commencing at the northwest corner of Logan county, where same intersects Klmore and Alturas. thence running directly south 20 miles, thence directly east 88 miles, thence directly north 20 miles, and thence 30 miles to place of begin-ning, giving a county of 780 square miles. Without exception, I believe all pres-ent voted for tho proposition. It is now being circulated for signers, with every prospect for being almost unani-mously signed by the entire body of ranchers and business men of the prairie. 1SIWRIT An r.nglMi Syittlieate with $5, 000,000 Capital to Pur-- g tho Plants. a.

On tha IMra that Attar March 4th tha North Will Not be , In tha Kcimte. Boise, Idaho, Jan. 14. Special to The Times. Instead of tho senatorial question being settled, as most people believed it to be, when tho famous triangular combination sent Slump, McConncll aud Dubois to the si'tiato, tho real fight has just been inaugurated. Clagett had refused , all overtures which did not absolutely count him in for the six-ye- term, sud-denly awoke to a realization of the fact that the game had slipped through his lingers. Ho became very indignant. Do Lamar, who thought he had An Inriplatit Boom nt one. time, found himself likewise in the soup. He had invested some thous. ands for the fun of becoming a senator-ial candidate, and never received a vote. These two disappointed aspirants at once formed an oll'ensive combination with tho avowed object of fighting Sen-ator Dubois.1 Soon the scheme leaked out. It was simply this: If McConnell drew the short term then Clagett was to come out as a candidate against Dubois on the grounds of no northern representa-tion. If Shoup drew the short term then DeLamar was to gird his loins for the fray. Dubois was to bo the com-mon enemy. McConnell drew the un-lucky straw and, as per agreement, C!e'ttl in the Field, backed up by DrLamar and his money. The protest against Senator Dubois' election, signed by twenty-thre- e mem-bers of tho legislature, was immediately prepared and forwarded to Washing-ton, where it has beeu presented by the and referred. t Every known influence has betn brought to bearupor. the northern men who sup- - " 111 HWr'g fr'tliuiaW'r,Ssaissi rteii ilift.- - natures to a pledge to support Clagett, declare the election of Dubois illegal and unconstitutional and elect him (Clagett) to the seuatw immediately ufter the 4th of next March. Those who would not yield have beeu threat-ened. Clagett claims to have twenty-seve- n names to his pledge, but this is rla nij an ExaggFratUin. Hut, with the original twenty-three- , who signed the protest, five more are re-quired for tho necessary twenty eight. Several aro known to bo wavering uuiong thosi! who sijiied tho triumvir- - ale agreement aid DcLaiuaris report-ed to have said that be would joyfully spend 2.1,0(10 to beat Dubois. This aloue is refp;jnsiolo for the re-cent failure of the Daily Sun. Tho paper had beeu a McConnell organ. It refused to nccedo to the demands of Messrs. Claggett and DeLamar, and train his guns upon tho newly elected senators. A systematic course was theu adopted, the financial credit of the paper rained, and a suspension forced, even while a proposition of an absolute sale of the plant to DeLamar and his friends had virtually been agreed upon. It was then that Mr. Claggett made the assertion that "workingmen were and always bad been a fungus upon the body politic." Then Came the Threats of arrest of members of the legislature which was published in the columns of The Times last week. No arrests have been made up to date and it is generally regarded as only a bluff on the part of Cl.tggett and DeLamar. They lo not charge the use of money direct-- . Jy, but claim that the formation of the triangular combination was virtually a breach of the law, and teat those who were instrumental therein are guilty of a felony. Especial bitterness is felt to-wards Senators Wells anil Gunu and Representative Price, who were the leaders in the combination. Dol.Biiuir Oprnly Charges Senator Wells with collusion and de-clares him guilty iu tho eyes of tho law of a felony. And now comes the display of fire-works. Although the captain does not explain these allegations in his assaults upon Senator Wells, there is every prospect that the senate of Idaho will politely request him to do so. From tho best evidence Is it believed that a quiet investigation has hsjen going on for several days. The air is full of a racy political scandal which may imireh the plumes of several distin-guished citizens. THE INDIAN WAR ENDED. Tha sioldiara Ara Mains; Hani Home and Kverythlng Unlet.

The political situation is discussed In the hotels, the streets and, in fact, every-where. The eenatorsliip is talked about to some extant, but it is so one sided that it creates no special imprest. There is hut little opposition to Colonel Vilas election and all the men now on the ground are for him.

D'Ur.es believes the Prince of Wales showed marked attention to Emilienne when she was in London, 'although there does not seem to exist s. particle of proof in support thereof. This may possibly alter the prince's plans. The Duo de Luynes does not share his distiaguished brother-in-law'- s infatuation for the fair Emilienne, and has on many occasions sought to con-vince D'Uzes that he was throwing away his time and money on a young lady who will some day marry a mai in her own sphere of life, aiid forget that there ever existed so seatimealal and extravagant a follower as the gen-tleman who now wears the ducal henors of the D'Uzes family.
