The fire department of Minneapolis Is under fire just at present, ana the in dications are that it will be the most sweeping conflagration the force ever tackled. The city should clean out the rotten mess from top to bottom, and this thing will no doubt be done. Rev.

"It was a pretty wedding," the society reporters have not over looked the opportunity to say.. The I pair are launched with all the frills and distinctions becoming to their station; but the sea may turn out to be just as turbulent, and certainly no happier, than that of the most menial pair. Mr. Prestox, acting director of the biint. and who is charged with the silver purchases., rejected all offers made this mouth, on the ground that the ice was too high. The London quotation was B4#d, and the New Fork price was 75 rents an ounce. The v English price is the equivalent of 70. cents. For ship ment the New York price is about half a cent less than Loudon. v The bullion aires thought they had Mr. Preston cornered with the Sherman- act, and would make four or five cents % an ounce out of the government. Unfortunately for them, they have to deal with an ad ministration which has not so high a regard for the dignity of Uncle Samuel that it will pay more for anything than it is worth. ■ . , . TH* LOSS OF THE BETHEL. _ The Bethel boat was one of the most worthy institutions of charity in the city, and its destruction is a serious loss to the many poor dependents who found in it relief from beggary and starvation. The fact that these people are thrown out,, with their clothing and little sav ings burned, and with, no means for subsistence, is almost as sad as the shocking death suffered by the three persons. All are in need of immediate relief. A call has been issued for this; it shoul<i—_nd will be responded to at once. And while the charitable people are giving thought to relieviug the imme diate wants of the sufferers, the impor tance of rebuilding the boat without delay should not be overlooked. The institution has performed a unique part in the work of assisting the unfortunate. We" have learned from the multitudes who have profited by the helping hand and words of sympathy that there is enough of good left iv much of humanity that is on the down grade to make the effort for re demption a great work. We have learned something of ; how many people we have looked upon as outcasts who are not all oad. We have discov ered to a considerable extent how many people there are cf high -inclinations, and even who have been sometime well up in life, whose every exertion to be self-supporting has been foiled by-un fortunate combinations -ot circum stances. We know now better than ever that there is a spot in almost every heart Which may be touched by the right in fluences, and that in the street urchin who is homeless, or whose parentage is bad, there is material that is worth de veloping, and which can be brought to the front by well-directed means. While the poor and not degraded element pre dominated among the habitues of the Bethel, there was always just enough of the other elements to enable the work to accentuate its efficiency. The insti tution afforded thousands' a means of tiding themselves over temporary mis fortunes, was an encouragement to the downfallen who would like.to do better, a helping hand to those who had never known anything that was good. There was nothing in the work to encourage idleness and dependency ; it was directed wholly to assisting and elevating. The Bethel" established tor itself a field distinctively its own. It is a profit able field, and must not go to waste. IT WORKS BOTH WAYS. One of the favorite bugaboos with which demagogues and silverites have been shooing the American farmer into their camp, is that attenuated yarn about the Englishman who buys his sil ver at its market value in Loudon, sends it to India, has it coined into rupees at a profit of 50 per cent or thereabouts, and with it buys wheat which he takes back to England, and, having made such a profit on his silver, is able to sell the wheat at a much lower price than the American farmer can afford. Hence the decrease in the price of* wheat. Well, just for the sake of the argu ment, let us admit that this is not a scarecrow, a bundle of straw clad in dismantled suits, with a broomstick doing service for a gun; but a real, flesh and blood fact. What follows? Europe aud India have denied free coin age to silver. That is one fact. We cannot control them. That is another tact. Now suppose we give silver free coinage, what will happen? That same blarsted Englishman will buy silver bullion at, say 70 cents an ounce, send it here, have.it coined into dollars at $1.29 an ounce, buy our wheat at the gold price— for the surplus sold for gold in a gold market will fix the price of ail we raise— and make the eighty-odd per cent of profit there is in the transac tion. Of course, we are not putting this out seriously, but it is just as good and log ical and true as the India bugaboo, and not a bit more so. if people will have them, can't get along without them, cry for them, why, then, we offer them our little bugaboo with a warranty that it is just as scarey as the other one, and is warranted not to bag at the knees. THE HUMBUG OF INSPECTION. A kerosene lamp left burning in the kitchen of a tinder-box tenement gener ates gas until it explodes and scatters the fluid about, and the tenement burns, and three, possibly four, human lives go out in excruciating agony. A dominant political party.coutrolling the legislature and the- executive, re membering the days when the campaign treasury was replenished by the liberal contributions of the oil inspectors, en acts an oil inspection law, which this time is court-proof; and the governor appoints an inspector, and he his sobs, whose duty it is to test every gallon of - oil brought into the state, and to con demn any that may flush at a lower de gree of heat than that prescribed by law. The oil in the lamp which exploded and burned the Bethel and sent three lives into eternity, and leaves another agonizing between life and death, was "inspected." There is an absolute pre sumption that it was, because the law says it should be, and there is the in spector and there are his sabs, and there are the fees. If it were "in spected," past experience shows us that it might still explode, but if it were in spected it could not explode. Are the old tricks being played? Are the inspector's stencils left with the oil compauies to be applied to the barrels by their employes as of yore, while the inspection of the inspector is confined to the bills which the companies pay him for the inspection he did not make? We know well enough how these mat ters went under the old law, whose pur pose was simply to gather campaign funds; are they going the same way now? ißtmWHm GIVES THE SNAP AWAY. The silver miners have called a na tional convention to meet in St. Louis next month, to which they invite their fell, feelers from all over the world. Lack of transportation precludes them from extendiug their invitation further. But what we started to note was the ex treme * simplicity of our contemporary, the Republic, of that same simple old town, which cautions the silver aggre gation to be careful about making pub lic in the convention the fact that they want the purchase act kept at work if they can't have free coinage, for the market it will afford * their bullion. Go slow on the protection side of your talk, gentlemen, says the too frank Republic, but lie down hard on the need of more money under which everybody is groan ing. The Republic lacks cutepess, with all its intelligence. Such a suggestion should have been conveyed in letters marked "confidential," or whispered to the delegates in dark comers after they THE SAINT PAUL BAILS' GLOBE: RRIDAY MORNING. JULY 7, 1893 r had arrived. \ Job prayed - that . his enemy might write a book, and > men have been damned by their fool friends (before now; and the silver miners may well regard with anything but friendly confidence a paper which thus in cautiously gives away the sole motive, of their convention. THE ROYAL WEDDING. The.marriage of the Duke of York and May. of Teck yesterday was' the union of the prospective future king and queen of England, hence one of the greatest of royal social events. The duke has inherited, the. beautiful feat ures and lovely character of his mother, the Princess of Wales, and has also, in herited much ot the strength of char acter and intellect of the house of Guelph. He is not a pampered sprig of royalty, but educated and inured to the sturdy life of a seaman. He has none of the tendency to abandon char acteristic of his father in early life. His whole personal make-up is admirable. Naturally, he is popular with the Eng lish people, as well as with the royalty. May of Teck is one of the most beauti ful and lovable young women to be found in any country. She has endeared herself to the common people by her democratic maimer of going among them and her charity work for them. Like the duke, she has not considered physical employ beneath her rank, and she is a healthy, strong En glish girl, whose happy nature and rosy countenance draw everybody toward her in admiration and respect. The English people have every encourage ment to beiieve that when this pair is seated at Windsor they will have one of the best rulers and one of the best queens England has ever had. lii view of ail this, the refusal of the people to entertain the proposition that parliament should make a donation ot .-50,000 as a wedding present is signifi cant. There was everything about the pair to arouse the people to an enthusi astic feeling of liberality; but there is a new sentiment among them which has a meaning-* it is true that when par liament made the hist special allow ance to the Prince of Wales thtre was a tacit understanding that it should cover everything to be given in the future on account of his children. But never be fore in the history of the nation would such an understanding have counted for anything, even when the royal pair were unpopular among the people. It seems clear that this step of the people is another one in the series of movements away from the crown which, has been going on the past 100 years. The common populace is growing more aud more into the feeling that the gov ernment should be by and for the peo ple. The national debt has piled up to the enormous sum of about *?SS per capita, and the taxes are some 40 per cent higher than in America. 'The great burden of this falls upon the mer chants, manufacturers, land owners and capitalists, hence the. feeling that the throne is very burdensome extends far above the common people. It prevails to a considerable extent among the Liberals, as well as among all other parties outside the Tories. At. the same time, it is net likely that any one living will see the throne upset and a democratic govern ment established. That time may never come. Since the days of Cromwell most of the rulers of England have manifested a tendency to compromise with the people, conceding to them ad ditional privileges and powers, and it is very probable that the precedent will be followed in the future. The time will no doubt come, and . perhaps in the near future, when the tremendous drafts upon the people to support and fete royalty will be reduced very materially. And it is quite sure that the people will soon make other ef forts to reduce the taxation. The popu lace will demand a still greater voice in the affairs of government, audit will be conceded to them. PREPARE TO PUCKER. President Tracy, of the National League of Republican Clubs, takes us into his confidence and explains his plan of campaign next year. His first step, like a prudent general, will be to see that the sinews of war are supplied in plenty. The league .is to be put on. a "war footing." That is, the committee on finance are to forthwith raise a quar ter of a million dollars to carry on the war with. This mere bagatelle he is confident of securing, despite the finan cial stringency which is just" now puck ering purse strings. We expect he wili meet with more difficulties than he an ticipates. The cordage trust is just now hardly in condition to make its cus tomary contribution, and Carnegie has plainly deserted his quondam friends, and the Manufacturers' club is in the dumps, and the beneficiaries of protection are not certain any longer that political contributions will be as profitable investments as they have been. But that is no matter of ours. Then when the money is supplied there is to.be r. general getting together of Republicans in a variegated assort ment of clubs. Organizers, furnished with the sinews, will swarm every state in the Union. They will call the faith ful togethpr and sort them out accord ing to the tongues their forbears picked up at Babel, and they will be divided off and properly labeled as American — no, as Franco-American, German- American, Swedish-American, Nor wegian-American, and, just to show how impartial they are, there will be real American clubs. The Afro-Ameri cans are not mentioned, but they will doubtless be allowed to join the rear of the procession as usual, and carry the camp equipage and black the boots. President Tracy provokingly stops short with the formation of his clubs, and omits to tell us what he is going to do with his menagerie when he gets it corralled. Of course, there is the old use of these implements; the donning of uniforms which invite McKixley's remark about being "cheap and nasty;" the lighting ot the 111-smeiling kerosene torches, and the dismal parade about the streets to the tune of a. fife and drum, or the blare of brass instruments,^ to the delight of the small boy, their own gratification and the disgust of everybody, else; but that is only the old, tried and inefficacious use of- them, which ended last year in such a dis heartening collapse. If he proposes to utilize them in an educational way, to disseminate the lurid literature with which the country is familiar by many campaigns — the pictures of the happy American laborer coining borne from his work with his befrilled little daughter to meet him and escort him into the room whose open door shows a piano on the floor and chromos on the wall— by way of contrast to the companion picture of the British workingman staggering to his di lapidated hovel; if this is what his ciultinomal clubs are to do. we wish them godspeed and "a safe deliverance out of all their sufferings." When the secretary of the National Protective league had told his executive committee after the last campaign how many thou sand dollars it had spent in sending out ever so many millions of such "reading matter," and asked: for more funds to keep up the work, some practical mem ber suggested ,that-"ii YfQJli-Yi'eit, to 1.9 judged by results, perhaps . they had better* stop the campaign of education. The ; people seemed to have been edu cated too much." ■■•- The vicinity of -'Aberdeen, S. D.. be came so .much In need of rain that the 1 people gave a contract to a "rain maker.'.!;: The professional labored with the elements without avail until he be gan to despair of earning his JSOO. On the afternoon of the day on which his contract would expire, at 8 o'clock, the elements took pity on him and opened the floodgates of a heavy rain. Another victory for the "rainmaker." •*•"*. | Without winking, the Tribune quotes the Atlanta Constitution as "that stalwart Democratic paper." It seems to have taken the place of the Sun, and is making itself useful to our Kepub iican brethren, who point to it with alarm as a cock-sure indication of what Democracy is and thinks and says and intends. OPERA AND DRAMA. Jg "Indiana," as produced by the Wilbur Opera company, is the present success that is proving the great drawing card at the Met ropolitan opera house this week. The stand ing room only sign was again displayed last eveniug. The company will give but three more performances of this tonight, tomorrow matinee and night— and as these will be the last three performances to be given this season of this opera, the house will no doubt be well patronized. Next week, beginning' Sunday night, the company will be seen in two operas "The Grand Duchess"' the first half ot the week, including the Wednesday matinee, ■ and "The Bohemian Girl" the latter half .of the week, including the Saturday matinee, .eats and boxes for any performance next week can now be se cured at the box office. Each performance of Jacob Litt's players in **Tho Edge of Society" but demonstrates the fact Unit this city has never before seen such excellent dramatic work, and the few remaining -performances of the play should see Mr. Litis theater filled. Sunday night both the style of play and the com pany will be changed, and % artley Camp bell's "My Partner" will be. put on tor a week's run. ".My Partner" is a strong ro mantic play, and one of the greatest ot Campbell's many successes. It has a story full of Lean interest, and Its characters are all clearly drawn and lifelike. The cast will present a number of the favorites' of the stock company, and will be headed by For rest Robinson "and Mabel Bert, and the sev enth week of the stock company promises io add additional strength to the good opinion of the public in regard to Lilt's players, as with_'\\iy Partner" they will without doubt furnish an attractive entertainment. FINANCIAL OUTLOOK. The call for an extra session early next month will be generally accepted as an assurance that the relief de manded will be obtained, and with this prospect before it the business world can go on through the coming, month hopefully instead of faltering "in doubt and despair.— Philadelphia Times. The mere fact that a comparatively early date for the extra session basal ready been decided tioon will have a reassuring and beneficial effect.

It is a fair sample of the news which silly American fakirs palm off upon English publications for news. The Twin City newspaper fra ternity will have a strong suspicion of the identity of "Our Own Correspond ent." Following is the account: A White Doctor Tortured by Indians. •'•wi ;\;o --[From Our Own Correspondent.] .* ••>? St. Paul, Minn., Wednesday— A spe cial left here yesterday with Company Dof the Fourteenth United States in fantry, en route for the Indian reserva tion at Leech Lake, where trouble has been reported. . It appears that Dr. Walker, of this - city, was out shoot- : ing squirrels near " the reserva tion ou Monday, when he fired at one of the little animals and missed, the bullet finding its billet in the body of a young Indian girl who was picking berries in the woods. The ball passed through the lower portion of -the girl's body, inflicting a fatal wound. Her body was found half an hour afterwards by the Indians, who at : ouce started in pursuit of .Walker. The latter made desperate efforts to reach a farm house, three miles away, where he had left his horse. The Indians, how ever, intercepted his retreat, and car ried him back' to the village, bound hand and foot. . What took place after ward is more or less a matter of con jecture, but according to the story of Indian Joe, a -half-breed, Walker was put to death with ail the refinement of torture an Indian mind is capable of suggesting. He was cut to pieces. by the nearest relatives of the dead girl, : while his body swung slowly roasting over a green-wood- fire.

W. Erwin Stirs the ; Audi -1 ence With Rare ; Rhetor- • , ical Eloquence. ••/-■V-'. Defender of Those Who Struck for Presented With a Gold-Headed Cane. \ Other Speeches. Made by Rev. Sample, John J. Ryder* and E. C. Ives. The thrilling episode of ' Homestead, which will go down in history as one of the incidents that led to the revolution of the social system of the Union, a circumstance that is confidently pre dicted by the industrial classes, was the occasion of the mass meeting that was held in Turner hall last evening. The speeches of the evening teemed with theories of reform and the ethics of the social system. But it naturaily partook largely of one grand eulogy upon the heroic services rendered by \V. W. Erwin, the brilliant advocate of St. Paul, and who defended the men of Homestead that were arrested because of the insistence given to the invasion of the 330 firmed Pinkertons. Each speaker had "eloquent words of praise fOr the rhetorical lawyer, and all was said in tiiat spirit of earnestness that characterizes sincerity. ' Erwin Is Caned. And the most pleasant function of the .meeting was the presentation of a beautiful gold-headed cane to Mr.Erwin. It came from the trades and labor or ganizations of the Twin Cities that had secured his services for the poor men who were arraigned in Homestead. The meeting was in commemoration of the* exciting and sanguinary -stead troubles just a year ago, and Mr. win had been expected to deliver an address, but because of the fact that all the Homestead cases have not yet been finished, he considered the "occasion somewhat inopportune for a speech from him. 1 nerefor- he requested to be excused, but the presentation ot the cane, and the ovation that was then. ten dered him by the audience, induced him to respond. In accepting the token of esteem, Mr. Erwin electrified his hear ers with one of the prettiest speeches, although impromptu and entirely. unex pected by him. that has ever been list ened to by a St. Paul audience. The incidents and the gift aroused him to a grand effort. He spoke almost as if in spired. Murray Opens the -"lectins. :, M. E. Murray, the president of the Trades and Labor Assembly of St.Paul, presided at the meeting, and in calling it to order succinctly slated the purpose of the gathering." lie explained that it was under the auspice, of organized labor, and that it was in .commemora tion of the anniversary of the Home stead incidents. Mr. Murray took occa sion to enunciate his conclusions upon the effects of the Homestead struggle.. At no tun., said he, since the civil war have th'-re been so many people study ing the social conditions of" the nation as since .that event, ami the conflict that, took place between capital**aud labor is something that will long be re membered, and he j added mar, the strike -..had . set men •to think ing. He. said that Minnesota has more right, than any other state to teel a lively Interest in" the conflict of 'July ii of last year, and then followed a description of the legal services oft \V. W. Erwin in the celeurated domes cases, and this was followed oy an elo quent, eulogy upon the worn performed, by Mr. Erwin in securing tne acquittal or the rioters upon tne -round ot justi fication. '-v.'-; .... .-. A poem was read, and it was ex plained mat it nail oeeu [written for Jim occasion Dy a Minneapolis i runes and Labor assembly member. i'ne poem was written by C. A. ..iieiii.ld, and was read by H. B. Martin, of Minneapolis. John J. t-yder '.-':• .was the next speaker ' introduced, and he delivered a feeling address. He criticised the common tei.dency of peo ple to pay too Utile attention to meet ings like that of last night, and then the lessons the strike . hau taught were graphically brought out, and -the lesson of self reliance was especially emphasized. In contradistinction were placed the events and conditions that lead to retrogres sion. Mr. Ryder said that backward steps are always taken in paths of luxury and indolence. The fact that there is no spirit for sanguinary strug gles in the industrial organizations was made a strong point in the argument of the speaker, and ho coupled with this principle the statement that big-' otry is an absent element, also iv the organizations of laboring men. Mr. Ryder insisted that the West, especially the Twin Cities, has just right to cele brate the' event with pride, and lie re viewed the services of W. W. Erwin in defending 'the. Homestead rioters. Words of commendation embellished this feature of the address. '." .'-'".' Hey. Sample Talks on Homestead. liev. S. W. Sample, of Minneapolis, was the next speaker. He began by as serting the belief that he stood before a thinking audience. He said that' cer tain contingents believe that too much thinking by the people is dangerous, but Mr. Sample pronouucerl it the salvation of humanity. The address was illus trated by apt incidents and occurrences. He said he believed; that appearances are always illusive, and he em ployed several similes to prove the point. He said that the appear ances were against the Homesteaders and he did not doubt that many just and thinking men at first condemned the strikers, but Mr. Sample prophesied that the time is near at hand when the strikers will be declared in the right.

The future of the la boring classes depends upon -the out come, and in the position of a prophet, he declared that this country will have within twenty-five years a reorganiza tion of the industrial conditions, and the social fabrics , else the country will be precipitated in a civil war that will make the French revolution pale iuto insignificance in comparison. - .;-*-. Going Into the Theory of rights of property, he followed with . the assertion that the rights of men, women, children, and tha homes. were involved In the Homestead troubles, and not the rights of property. If Frick had the right to employ the Pinkertons to shoot down the men, the latter had the right to employ dynamite bombs. He deplored force and violence, but he said it must be remembered that the violence used by the. workingmen at Homestead was the violence of self defense. \ -': _-> ;".•- -.- ;■.s.

Ive» on Labor Organizations. E. C. Ives, of St. Paul, needed no in troduction. It is not likely that there was a man in the audience that did not know him. He recited the efforts of the labor organizations in sending Mr. Er win to Homestead, and rehearsed the incidents of the trials, there. This, of course, was another --eulogy of Mr. Er win, and Mr. Ives said that he believed that had it not been for that brilliant advocate some of the men, at least, would have been convicted. Mr. Ives insisted that the organized industrial classes never indorse lawless ness, but the employers at Homestead had no right to import an armed horde. lien the men met the Pinkerioiis at water's edge, they perhaps technically violated the law. but Mr. Erwin secured their acquittal upon the ground of justi fication.

As he concluded he made the presentation of the cane, and the audience actually went wild in testifying its appreciation of the event. Mr. Erwin accepted the handsome gift in one of the most timely and eloquent speeches that has been listened to in this city. Krwin's Eloquent Effort. He began by testifying that the gif came ty him as uncomplete surprise. He had regretted that he had been called to a seat upon the platform, and stated he had had no idea of the purpose of the meeting. Mr. Erwin then modestly protested that he had received entirely too much praise for the role that he had played in the, Homestead affair. Ex tending his remarks, he said that there is a power that stands over this nation that is paramount to the nower that actuated the men . who * had de declared for liberty in 1770, when they declared themselves independent of all monarchies, and when they banded themselves together to establish their personal, religious and political liberty. Mr. Erwin said that the Declaration of Independence breathed the spirit that the God-made man - should rise above j the man-made man. They were the principles enunciated by the divine Sa vior of mankind upon Mie hills of Judea, This was followed by other similes drawn - from the ; Bi ble. Moses • : taught -the ■"■'"- doctrine of force— that force is the active agent that secures respect for the iaw. j 11. went upon the principle that the pen alty prescribed by the law alone se cured that respect. Consequently con science was entirely left to itself, and j so stood the world at the time of the birth in the manger at Bethlehem. The i divine Son of God illumined mankind j with the doctrines that .rater- i nal, love is the power that se- ] cures respect for the law. Mr. Erwin j -predicted at this juncture that the time I will surely come when there will be no I penalty, when righteousness and justice | will run in the blood of men, and then j there will be respect for law. Every- i thing will be governed by the divine teachings of fraternity. Christ taught j that paternal governments were wrong i in all their forms, and nations will | find their remedy in the love ot men. I Moses, said the speaker, went parallel to the law. and Christ perpendicular. | His teachings were divine, and they | were for fraternity. There is a demand in America now for a fraternal law, just j and equitable, so that from love alone men will follow it. That is the code of divine power. Mr.Erwin then drew a graphic picture of that awful meeting at the water's edge of 300 armed men with a half dozen revolvers and a prayer, and he said that it was that same divine power that sent that thrill of fear into the . hearts of the invaders of the state, lt is that divine power declared from the imperial seat that new liberty be born. Mr. Erwin closed by again alluding to the present that he had received', and with the prophesy that the kingdom ot God will come, and that it will be a kingdom of fraternity.

Sax Fkaxcisco, July 6.— News brought by the steamer Mariposa today from Australia is of a discouraging tenor. The closed banks are trying to resume, and business is at a standstill. Strikes are imminent, and tens of thousands of people are out of work. A number of coal mines have shut down, wages of sailors are being reduced and omnibus drivers went out on a strike because their wages were reduced from $10 to $8.75 per week. The unemployed swarm along the docks, seeking a chance to stow away on any vessel bound for the United States, and Oceanic Steamship company's sheds at circular Quay had to be turned into a place for the desti tute to sleep in. The Mariposa's sec ond cabin and steerage were crowded. Nearly all those who came up were men and women who were once well to do, but who lost nearly all in the general I crash." They could not spare money for a first-class passage, and consequently had to come up in the steerage. Many of them hoped to make a new start in California. sJ-ggßg-ft^ffiwi The governments of Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland are doing all.in their power to relieve the situa tion, with some degree of success. One of the measures adopted by the govern ment, of New South Wales is the establishment of a state bank. A commutes of six, appointed to take testimony, made the . following report: That, after careful deliberation, "they are of tbe opinion that the establish ment of a government bank of issue 13- not , only practicable, £,ltf - ui§Q*i)f *wcea#*ry, aufl .. Bug . , gest that its functions should comprise: First, the sole right of issue of note currency upon a gold and fiduciary basis, in addition to govern ment stock. Second, that 10-shilling notes should" be issued in addition to de nominations of the usual note currency. Third, the business ot all government departments in connection with the re ceipt and expenditure of revenue; that the management of such banks should be entrusted to a board of commission ers, to be appointed by act of parlia ment, and removable only by vote of the legislature. The government adopted the sug gestions, and when the Mariposa sailed the formation of the bank was under way. The government stood by the bank of New SouthVVales and paid £319,000 in gold into its treasury. pro ceedings were also taken to restore a large quantity of gold in the closed Australian joint stock bank into circula tion. The shareholders of the Bank or Victoria held a meeting while the Mariposa was at Sydney and decided to wind up the bank. The affairs on the Mercantile Bank of Melbourne are reported in a bad way. and the de positors cannot get a cent of their mon ey. The Australian joint stock bank is to be reconstituted, and nearly all "Queensland bank's are getting on their feet again. ...-.v.^'i's-s DENOUNCED IRBY. South Carolina's Junior Senatcr Attacked by an Ofßcor of the State. The Statesman Called a Liar and a Vulgar -Bully and Brag gart. Columbia, S. C. July 6.— Hugh L. Farley, adjutant and inspector general of South Carolina under the reform regime, has written an open letter to J. L. M. lrby, junior senator from this state, denouncing him in very severe language. Senator lrby is chairman of tiie Democratic party in South Carolina and leader of the reform movement. Gen. Farley charges the senator with maligning and mis representing him, and with dictating a letter to his private secretary to be .sent to the Augusta Chronicle with the Chronicle's regular correspondent's name signed -to it. Gen. Farley charges the senator with trying to crusn every anti-reform man who will not uo his bidding, and says he would drag the slate into bloodshed to j gratify his malice and ambition, Gen. J Farley calls Senator l.oy the cham pion liar of South Carolina, and 1 coucluues his letter, which tills j three columns, by stigmatizing him as a | low-mouthed, vulgar-mannered bully | and braggart, who has disgraced the I state in Washington, and brought dis cord into the reform ranks by playing the role of a dictator and tyrant. He says Senator lroy has done nothing worthy jot distinction except "to strut around I Washington like a big buck nigger on Emancipation day," and that he is trying to make innocent and unsuspect- I ilia people believe that "the bray of I a jackass is' thu roar v. of a lion." I Gen. Farley also says that Senator J lrby, by his course in Washington, | has made an ass of and subjected him | self to the scorn and ridicule of Hie whole country and knowing that his own power is gone, he attempts to blacken every man of whom he cannot make a tool, and does it bj linking Gov. Till man's name with his. The letter, has produced a tremendous sensation iii po litical circles in South Carolina, and developments are anxiously awaited. -._*■ ■ MAY BE BURNED.

The national commissioners who fav ored a July session of the commission in order to give members an op portunity to attend the fair are mak ing the most of it. It has been practi cally impossible thus far to main tain the presence of a quorum. It re quired the united efforts of the door keeper and sergeant-at-arms over half an hour to get a quorum together. President Palmer administered a severe rebuke to the tardy members. Several resolutions were offered, and one by Mr. Massey that no commis sioner should absent himself without leave was adopted. immediately after this six or eight commis sioners were excused, and this left the commission without a quorum. The commission then took up a few routine matters, but no formal business was transacted. Commissioner Clen denniiig, of Arkansas, was appointed a member of the judiciary committee, vice Massey, resigned. in the afternoon the question of raising Secretary Dickin son's salary from -?3.0.0 to $5,000 per annum was discussed at length and the whole matter finally referred to the judiciary committee.
