Besides, greenbacks are the money of the people, and Cleveland is one of the people— the right sort of people. B?H «■ Senator Mills, of Texas, who was thought to be wavering on the silver issue, has placed himself squarely upon the platform of unconditional repeal of the Sherman act. Mr. Mills has acted wisely, and his fellow senators from the South could not do better than to take their stand alongside of the Texas statesman. The congress of religious having end ed, Chicago is preparing to entertain the pan-American congress of physi cians. The doctors of medicine, it is expected, will be more peaceably dis posal than the doctors of divinity, for it is contrary to the ethics of the medi cal fraternity to dispute about anything save the fees. None but American citixens are here after to be given employment in the iron mills at McKeesport, Pa. Those foreigners, therefore, who think so much of their native country as to refuse to vow allegiance to the country of their adoption will be left out in the cold. ! And this is right. We want no tran- ! sient visitors here, taking bread out of | the mouths of our own people. The Chicago papers have taken to abusing President Cleveland because he has declined the invitation to attend the fair on Chicago day. But, however de sirable it might be for Mr. Cleveland to visit the Windy City, it should be borne in mind that he has an exceedingly cyclonic senate to look after in Wash ington, and it would be dangerous to leave the capital, lest some damage might ensue. It looks as if those who are clamor ing tor more money would be accommo dated, in a degree, at least. The reports of the national banks show that their circulation has been gradually increas ing since January, 1891, when the amount outstanding was $125,G60,361. At the date of the last report, in July ot this year, the circulation amounted to 157,001,099. This is an increase of about 'M cents per capita of the population— not a large amount, truly; but the man . who always has 30 cents in his pocket will never be dead broke." ■ — — Secretary Lamoxt is the most act ive and aggressive member of the cab inet, and is said to practically "rule the Toosi" at the cabinet meetings. fie ac- ' quired a knowledge of Mr. Cleveland's disposition during his service as private secretary to the president during his first term, and uses that knowledge to good va'd vantage.;. Dan is certainly a capable man, and the people have con fidence in him. ART SUPPLEMENT. GIFTS. St. Paul merchants offer this morning a royal list of gifts for certain numbers of Art Spuplements which the SUNDAY Globe distributed on the 17th. Every supplement was numbered at the top. and there will very certainly be a hunt ing up of numbers. There will oe a much larger list of premiums offered next week for certain numbers in Sun day's issue, Sept. 24, and it behooves every one to man sure of receiving a Globe Art Supplement. A QUICK RECOVERY. There are good grounds for the faith of those who believe that the country will recover from the effects of this monetary depression more speedily than from any other which the country has experienced; not even excepting that sliort-iived panic of 1857. These grounds; are not alone the evidences of miprov e nient with which the daily press abounds, but are to be found in the overlooked fact that the depression did not begin this spring; that its culmina tion then was but the precipitation of effects which had beeu long accumu lating. JK& When the bubble of credit which speculative men have been expanding with the confidence that they were ere- ; ating an enduring structure suddenly collapses without warning, as is usually the case, there is an instant and general paralysis, a general wreckage, of which the commercial field must first be cleared before the work of reuuildiug can begin. But where the bubble has for some time been showing signs of collapse; when it has been actually shrinking, there runs along with this process a liquidation which sets the house in order for the coming storm. The shrinkage of values— which is but a definition for liquidation— began in this country in the summer of 1893. It has been a continuous, if irregular, j movement ever since. It began with those values which have the greater element of speculation in them— the railroad stocks and bonds, which almost universally have been issued on "Un born assets,*' in anticipation more of future than of present values, and which are among the first to feel a dim inution of confidence on the part of in vestors. The Banker's Magazine for January, 1891, tabulates the depreciation of rail— toad stocks for the six months preceding i:s issue. The aggregate shrinkage of stock values, or of prices.rather, in that time was over $350,000,000. Taking the roads in the Northwest, the Chicago & Northwestern stocits decreased nearly 80,000,000; Milwaukee, $21, (500,000; the Northern Pacific over $20,000,000. and the Manitoba $4,000,000. The failures of business ventures, as given in the reports of the commercial agencies, tell somewhat the same story, showing that a quiet but wide-spread liquidation was prevalent ovei the country. A panic for which there has been three years of preparation naturally finds and leaves business in a better condition for recuperation than the one that comes without warning. A vessel may be dismasted or founder when struck under full sail by the unwarned squall, but it will ride out with little damage the harder gale of which the falling barometer has given warning and for which preparation is made. CLOSE THE DEBATE. When the Globe declared Senator Voorhees unfitted for the leadership of the militant Democracy, it did not ex pect such a unanimous indorsement as it has received, nor did it expect that the Indiana senator himself would pub licly admit his weakness, as he did on Tuesday. lie claims, however, that there is no means by which he can force the pending question to an issue, and that there is practically no limit to the debate upon it. It is true, as he claims, that the previous question can not be ordered in the senate under its rules, yet there are other means that might be employed to stop the filibus tering tactics of the silver senators, and these lie ought to enforce. It has been done in the past, when the Repub lican party was dominant— as, for in stance, the closure of debate on the force bill, when Mr. Voorhees himself was denied the privilege of expressing his views fully. Might in those days constituted right. The pleas for a hearing by the handful of Democrats who then composed the minority were ruthlessly ana arbitrarily denied, and the end sought was accomplished. The Gr.or.i: does not counsel the com mission of unlawful acts, even for the accomplishment of desirable ends. It is a deplorable fact that the senate has so hedged itself about with precedent, with false courtesy and with absurd rules that it may be powerless to give prompt and emphatic expression to the will of a majority of its own members and of the people. Yet it should not be in the power of a minority of that body to block the jvheels of legislation and jeopard the interests of the entire coun try. So hampered, it cannot fulfill the purpose of its being. It ceases to be a I legislative body the moment it gives rein and license to obstructionists and is powerless to control them. Such a condition of things was not contem plated by the trainers of our govern mental system, and such a perversion of purpose threatens the very existonee of popular government. A remedy could be found in an amendment to the ruins governing the senate: a more effectual remedy would be the selection of sena tors by a direct vote of the people. But j neither of these expedients could avail in the present emergency. The senators now sitting at Washington feel no sense of responsibility to the people. A ma jority occupy their seats by virtue of their wealth and their ability to cor ruptly influence the state legislatures. They are unprincipled and plutocratic bound hand and foot by personal inter est. They are representatives of mo nopolies and trusts, and acknowledge no allegiance to the common people. If there ever was an occasion when a violation of precedent or established rules was justifiable, the present is that j occasion. But it need- not be necessary to proceed to such extremeties. Closure may be brought about by less arbitrary means, and it is time that such au ex pedient be employed. Complaint can not justly be made that any senator on the minority side has been denied an opportunity of expressing his views on the pending measure. More than a month has been consumed by them in a seemingly endless round of iteration and reiteration. Senator Voorhees has twice extended the time for pressing his motion for a close of debate, and any further extension would be an abuse of toleration. He should act de cisively and at once, and demand the close of a debate that is profitless to the participants and prejudicial to the best interests of the country. ■«»- Sexatoi; Gorman is of the opinion ' that the silver debate will close by the THE SAINT PAUL DAILY GLOBE: THURSDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 21, 13^.

The (ii.diiK publishes this morning the entertaining diary of James W. Davidson, of Austin, Minn., who ac companies the Peary expedition to the Arctic regions. With the exception of reports from Lieut. Peary himself, no other newspaper letters are sent from the party, save by the Gi.okk represent ative. While it will be some time be fore our correspondent is again heard from, the Gi.ohk will continue to have the first and exclusive news from the expedition. .There are no apologists in Louisiana for the recent lynching there. The act is as vigorously condemned by the press and the officials there as at the North, and the most vigorous efforts are being made to apprehend and punish the offenders. The occurrence might have taken place in any state at the North indeed, such atrocities are constantly occurring— and it is manifest unjust to hold the entire community responsible simply because of sectional lines. Mr. Gladstone has finally deter, mined to give the house of lords an other chance to pass the Irish home rule bill before the dissolution of parlia ment. He has not announced his pro gramme in case of refusal, but those who know the old man best do not doubt that he has a surprise in store for them which they will not relish. Glad stone does not belong to that class which "dearly loves a lord." There is no disposition among Dem ocrats, as the Philadelphia. Press fears there may be, to withhold from the Re publicans in congress due credit for the support they have given to President Cleveland's policy. They are entitled to all the praise which is claimed for them. But after all.they could not have done otherwise and laid ciaim to patriot ism, and true patriotism does not famish for lack of praise. .Speaking of "senatorial courtesy," are not the majority of the senators en titled to some courtesy from the minor ity? This jug-haudle courtesy is get ting exceedingly tiresome. WITH THE TRAVELERS. Hon. Richard Lockey, a prominent capitalist of Helena and a member of the Montana legislature, was in St. Paul yesterday. He said: "Gov. Rickards, of Montana, has decided not to call au extra session of the legisla ture to elect a United States senator and to leave the state represented in congress by only one senator for two years. This action is due to the gen eral sentiment of the state against calling an extra session. The people of Montana, regardless of party, are strongly in favor of silver legislation, and since one more man there would do us no good, the feeling is that it would be a needless expense to call a session. We are all silverites. but lam satisfied that we have placed too much dependence upon our min ing interests. If congress declares against us, however, as it seems likely to do, Montana wiil not go to pieces by any means. Our stock ranches are an immense resource. Then we have great copper and gold mines. The defeat ot our silver desires will result only in developing our other resources which have lain in the background be cause we feit that mining was good enough without attempting other things. Montana has vast agricultural resources, contrary to the opinion generally held. These will be developed. Our stock growing industries will reach greater proportions. The immense cattle ranches will be cut into smaller parts, and more people will find employment in the business. Manufacturing will be developed, and 1 predict that with all our great water powers, coal mines, minerals, woods, wool and flax produc tions, we shall before many years be- ' come a great manufacturing state. Mon tana is scarcely second !to any state in the Union in diversity of resources, and we shall come out at the top of the heap yet." -<-t+- Mgr. Nugent, the great Catholic tem perance follower of Cardinal Manning in England, is a guest of Archbishop Ireland, coming from Dubuque, where he attended the investment of Arch bishop Ilennessy. He has been in America about five weeks, visiting the world's fair, taking an important part iii the congress of religions, and other wiseemploying himself. He speaks as follows of the work in England, and of other matters of importance: "Since the death of Cardinal Man ning we have suffered from not having the influence of so important and so true a leader. The work, however, is still progressing, and a strong public opinion is spreading on every side in favor of temperance. The work of the League of the Cross, of which Cardinal Manning was the chief promoter, has spread among Catholics, and taken root more or less in every country where the English language is spoken. The part which he took in this movement won for him the respect and confidence of all classes. He never refused any oppor tunity of speaking in behalf of temper ance, and by this means he broke down the barriers which Ignorance and preju dice had raised between Catholics and non-Catholics." Mgr. Nugent spoke interestingly ot the postal savings banks in England, which have worked for the best inter ests of poor people. "Attached to the various district postoftices," said he, "is a savings bank, for the convenience of people who wish to make small depos its. This is an immense advantage to servants and young people and those who wish to husband their earnings. The lowest sum taken at one deposit is oue* shilling, and the sum received in a i a year is limited to £30 to the person. The government pays the de positors 2}{ per cent interest. The facilities have been agreat advantage to the humbler classes, Recently the gov ernment has added to this department a branch of life insurance, which is much the same as an ordinary life insurance. The advantage to be gamed by such an insurance, iv which the government is the security, is plainly to be seen and needs no comment. The insurance is a certainty, and does not depend upon the fortunes of a private company. 1 believe that, were this country to adopt the postal savings bank aud insurance system it would work great results among the laboring people of the na tion." Rev. Richard Kennedy, also of Liver pool, accompanies Mgr. Nugent. - mm Death of Gilbert Kugg. [A. wore extended notice of Mr. Rugg's death Is given oil the eighth page.] Chicago. Sept. Gilbert P. Huge, a prominent business man of St. Paul, I was found dead in his room at the Epworth hotel. Fifty-ninth street and Monroe avenue at 7 o'lock this evening.

Monday.. .', At the Grand. . •; .-j The many admirers of Irish plays will; turn with relief from the stereotyped: plays of that class to one with some thing new in its story and bright in the treatment of its plot. "The Irish States man," in which Carroll Johnson will be seen next week at the Grand, is said to be a happy realization of something new under the sun in Irish plays, and although it has a strong Celtic flavor and is ot Irish material, essentially Irish, it gets out of the beaten path that has been followed so long by construct ors of Irish dramas; and not only this, but it presents its hero, the character played by Mr. Johnson as an Irish gen tleman, and not he of the red wig and the yellow knee breeches. A feature of the performance is Mr. Johnson's sing ing and dancing. "Crazy Patch" still continues to af ford light and airy entertainment for those who go to the Grand this week, aud Miss Mitchell's singing wins for her repeated recalls at each perform ance. Mr. McCulloch Corrects the Re port. To the Editor of the Globe. I fer.r my Scotch accent and somewhat novel theories have disturbed the equa nimity of your reporter. Allow me to make a few corrections: 1 said Amer ica had "mortgaged future possibilities and correspondingly burdened present potentialities." I said that since 1810 silver had only been a legal tender tor 4 per cent; that Scotch bank notes were not a legal tender.and Bank of England notes everywhere but at the bank and its branches. 1 certainly did not say that paper has been a legal tender for some debts, which is absurd, nor that bank notes have not been a legal tender, which would have been inconsistent. I did not omit "of the unit" when speaking of doubling the amount of currency, and the result 1 predicated was halving, not doubling, the purchasing power of the dollar or unit. When i spoke of Britain using only 2V, per cent of currency it was not in relation to France or Germany, but to the £300,000,000 per week of clearing house transactions. The Scotch bank notes I said were currency, but not ; money or legal tender; so with the Bland-Allison silver certificates; but 1 certainly did not say that it was for some and inferential!)' not other debts. I also said that a circulating medium could as a commodity be volun tarily accepted in a community; but money as the instrument and creature of law must be accepted for all debts. public and private. I certainly never said that legal tender is the result of commercial being equal to the face value, neither that the face value comes by power of the government, nor yet that the Avstrian inconvertible note (the florin) was at par in Austria and a premium in London. Indeed, it was the Russian rouble by which 1 made the comparison. I said no government should issue interest-bearing: bonds until the currency had absorbed all it could as a floating debt, and | which would uot bear interest,! I also that the issue of notes is no part of the province of a bank. In stead of "it will oscillate" it should : have been, one of the metals will oscil late, the other become the scale of the standard unit. Paper should be regu lated, issued and controlled by a cur rency commission amenable only to congress, and not to the executive gov ernment. The rapidity of circulation and the volume of trade is what 1 did say in that connection. 1 regret to have to trouble you, but any one who knows me, reading your version, would, natu rally conclude that the hospitality of the j club had thrown me off my bearings. Yours truly, John McCullocu. ■ ;'/:■• — — — r^ " Most of the crop of suicides is crown from seeds sowu by the plutocratic con spiracy which controls the wealth of the country aud the government.— 1 L'uiou. * - ' THE LAWYERS' HARVEST, the united states and count: district cguits < \LLi:» I PO> VRBY L.IVICX.V.
