I ho horses hifhe.l to the plow preparing for a new orop. "IJehoLl thedays '-orm saith tho Lor.l. that the plow man shall overtake the reaper." When is that'' That is now. That is this flay, when hnrl!y have you done reaping one harvest before the plowman is Kettin reaily for another. I kimw that many Ieelare 1 hat Christ ianity has eollape.l ; that the TJihle is an obsolete hook : that tho Christian -hurei is on the retreat. I will here an 1 now show that opposite of that is true. An Arab jrui.le was lea-iin a Freneh fi'M across a !esert. anl ever an.t anon tho in- the Arab rUlle would iet down in the sand and pray to the Lord. It disu-ted tho French infidel, and after awhile as the Arab got up from one of his prayers tho infidel said, "How rlo you know there is any God?" and the Arab f.oiide said "How do I know that a man anil a enrnel passed ulont? our tent last nighty I know it by the footprints in tho sr.r.d. And you want to know how I know whi ther there is any God? Look at that f-unsef. I3 that the footstep of a rrian?" And by the same proeess you and I have eome to understand thai this'book is the footstep of a fSod. Hut now let us see whether the Hible is a last year's almanao. Let us S'e whether the ehureh of God is in a Hull Run retreat, muskets, rantee and haversacks strewing all the way. The jjreat English historian. Sharon Turner, a man of vast learning and of ereat accuracy, not a cleru'yman, but an attorney as well as a historian, gives this overwhelming statistic in regard to flhris tianity and in regard to the number of Chris tians in the different "euturies In the first c-ntury, 500.000 Christians; in the second century, '2,000,000 Christians ; in tho third century, 5.000.000 Christians ; in the fourth ocntnry, 10,000.000 Christians; in tho filth century, 15.000.000 Christiansen the sixth century, 20.000.ti00 Christians ; in the seventh century, 24,000.000 Christians ; in the eighth, century. 30.000,000 i'hristians; in the mat ii century, 10.000.000 :hristians ; in the tenth century, 50,000,000 Christians in the eleventh century. 70,000,000 Christians: in the twelfth century. S0.0OO.O00 Christians ; in tho thirteenth century, 75,000,000 Christ ians; in the fourteenth century, 80.000.000 Christians ; in the fifteenth century, 100, 000,000 Christians; in the sixteenth cen ury, 125,000,000 Christians; in the seven teenth century, 155.000,000; in the eight eenth century. 'J00, 000,000 Christians a de cadence, as you observe, in only one century nnd more than made up in the following cen turies!, while it is the usual compu tation that there will be, when tho record of the nineteenth century is made up. at least .'i00.000,000;christians. I"oor Christianity ! What a pity it has no friends! How lonesome it must be! Who will take it out of the poorhouse? Poor Christianity ! Three hundred millions in one century. In a few weeks of the year 18S1 2,500,000 copies of tho New Testament dis tributed. Why, the earth is like an old cas tle with twenty gates and a park artillery ready to thunder down every gate. Lay aside all Christen Join and see how heatb.cn dom is bejnu surrounded and honeyeom'iied i i;d attacked by this all conquering gospel. At the beginning of this century thero were only l'O missionaries; now thero aro 25,003 missionaries and native helpers and evang eliits. At the beginning of this century there were only 50,000 heathen converts ; now there aro 1,7C0,000 converts from heathen dom. There is not a seaeoast on the planet but the battery of thogospe.1 is planted anl ready to march on north, south, east, west. You nil know that the chief work of an army is to plant the batteries. It m:iy take many davs to plant l!ie batteries, and they may do all their work in ten minutes. These batteries nre being planted all along the scacoasts and in all nations. It may take a good while to plant them, and they may do all their work in one day. They will. Nations aro to be I oru in one day. But just come back to Christendom nnd recognize the fact that during the last ten years as many people have connected themselves with evangelical churches as connected themselves with the church, s in the lirst lifty years of this cen tury. i-o Christianity is falling baak, and the Jiihle. tiny say, is becoming an obsolete 1 'ok. I go into a court, and wherever I find i judge's bench or a clerk's desk I find a Ihbic. Uj.un what book could there be uttered the solemnity of an oath? What l ook is apt to be put in the trunk of tho young man as lie leaves for city life? The Lib!". What shall I find in nine out of every ten homes m lirooklynV The Bible. In nine out o- every ten homes in Christendom? The Bible. Voltaire wrote the prophecy that the Bible in the nineteenth century would be come extinct. The century is nearly gone, nnd as there have been more Bibles pub lished in the latter part of the century than in the former part of the century, do you thoik the Bible will become extinct in tho next six years? I have to tell you that tho room in which olt.iiro wrote that prophecy not long ago was crowded from floor to ceiling with Bibles from Switzerland. Suppose tho Cot. press of the United States should pass a law that there should be no more Bibles printed in America and no more Bibles read. If there are 40,000.000 grown people iu the United States, there would be 40.000.COO peo ple in an army to put down such u law and defend their right to read the Bible. But suppose the Congress of the United States should make a law against the reading or the publication of any other book, how many peopio would go out iu such a crusade? Could you get 400.000 000 people to go out nnd risk their lives in defense of Shake speare's tragedies or Gladstone's tracts cr Maeaulny'rt -History of England?" You know that there are 1000 men who would die in defense of this book where there is not more than one man who would dlo iu defense of i.ny other book. You try to in sult my common sense by telling me the Bible is fading out from the world. It is the most popular book of tho century. How do I know it? I know it just as I know in regard to other books. How many vol umes of that book are published? Well, you say. 5000. How many copies of that book are published? A hundred thousand. Which is the more popular? Why. of course the one that has 100.000 circulation. And if this book has more copies abroad in the world, if there are live tirnea ns many Bibles abroad as any other book, does not that show you that the most popular book on the planet to-day is the word of God? Oh," say people, ' the church is a collec tion of hypocrites, and it is losing its power. nd it is fadipgout from the world." Is it? A bishop of the Methodist church told me that that denomination averages two new churches every day of the year. There aro at least 1500 new Christian churches bu-ilt in America every year. Doesthat look asthough the church were fading out, ns though it were a defunct institution? Which institu tion stands nearest the hearts of the people of America to-day? I do not care in what village, or in what city, or what neighbor hood you go. Which institution is it? Is it the postofflce? Is it the hotel? Is it the lecturing hall? Ah, you know it Is not. You know that the Institution which stands near est to the hearts of the American people is the Christian church. If you have ever seea a church burn down, you have seen thou sands of people Btanding and looking at it people who never go into a church the tears raining down their cheeks. The whole story is told. You may talk about tho church being a collection of hypocrites, but when the diph theria sweeps your children on? whom do you send for? The postmaster, the attorney general, the hotel-keeper, alderman? No; you send for a minister of this Bible region. And if you have not a room in your house for the obsequies, what building do you so licit? Lo you say, "Give me the finest room in the hotel?" Do you say, "Give me that theatre? ' Do you say, "Give me a place in that publio building, where I can lay my dead for a little while until we say a prayer over It V" No. You say, "Give us the house of God." And if there is a song to be eung at th obsequies, what do you want? Wrhat does anybody wan;? "The Marseillaise" hymn! "God Have the Queen?" Our own grand national air? No. They want the hymn with which they sang their old Christian mother into her last sleep, or they want sut'.g the Sabbath-school hymn which their lit',13 girl sang the last Sabbath afternoon she was oat before she got that awful sickness whkh broke your heart. I appeal to your common sense. You know the most endearing in stitution on earth, the most popular institu tion on earth to-day is the church of the Lord Jesus Christ. The infidels say, "Infidelity shows its suc cesses from the fact that it is everywhere accepted, and it can say what it will. Why, my friends, infidelity is not half so blatant in our days as it was in the days of our fathers. Do you know that in the days of our fathers there were pronounced infidels in public authority and they could get any political position? Let a man to-day declare idmself antagonistic to the Christian re ligion, and what city wants him for mayor, what State wants him lor governor, what nation wants him for president or for king? Let a man openly proclaim himself the enemy of our glorious Christianity, and he cannot get a majority of votes in any State, in any city, in any county, in any ward of America. Do you think that such a scene could be enacted now as was enacted in the days of Itobespierre, when a shameless woman was elevated as a goddess and was carried in a golden chair to a cathedral, where incenso was burned to her anil people bowed down before her as a divine being, she taking the pla je of the Bible and God Almighty, while in the corridor of that cathedral were en acted such scenes cf drunkenness and de bauchery and obscenity as has never been Witnessed? Do you believe such a thing could possibly occur in Christendom to-day? No, sir ! The police, whether of Paris or New York, would swoop on it. I know infidelity makes a good deal of talk in our day. It is on the principle thr.t if a man jump overboard from a Cunard steamer ho mikes more excitement than all the 500 people that stay on the decks. But the fact that he jump3 overboard does that stop the ship? Does that wreck the 500 passengers? It makes great exoitement when a man jumps from the lecturing plat form or from the pulpit in fidelity, but doe3 that keep the Bible and the Church from carrying their millions of passengers into the skies? They say, these men, that science is over coming religion in our day. They look through tho spectacles of the infidel scien tists, and they say: "It is impossible that this book can be true. Feople are finding it out. The Bible has got to go overboard. Science is going to throw it overboard." Do you believe that the Bible account of the origin of life will be overthrown by infidel scientists who havo fifty different theories about the origin of life? If they should come up in solid phalanx, all agreeing upon one sentiment and one theory, pethaps Christian ity might be damaged, but there nre not so many differences of opinion inside the church as outside tho church. People used to say, "There are so many different denominations of Christians that shows there is nothing in religion." I have to tell you that all denominations agree on the two or three or four radical doctrines ol the Christian religion. They are unanimous in regard to Jesus Christ, and they are uuanimous in regard to the divinity of the Scriptures. How is it on the other side? All split up you cannot find twe of thorn alike. Oh, it makes me sick to see these lit erary fops going along with a copy of Dar win under t ne arm and a case of transfixed grasshoppers and butterflies under the other arm, telling about the "survival of the fit test." and Huxley's protoplasm, and the nebular hypothesis. Tho fact is that some naturalists just as soon as thev find out the difference between t he feelers of a wasp and tho horns of a beetle begin to patronize the Almighty, While Agas siz, glorious Agassis, who never made any pretensions to being a Christian, puts both his feet on tho doctrino of evolution nnd says, "I see that many of the naturalists of our day are adopting facts which do not bear observation or have not passed under observation." These men warring against each other Darwin warring against La marehe, Wallace warring against Cope, even Ilerschel denouncing Ferguson. They do not agree about anything. They do not agree on embryology, "do not agree on the gradation of the species. What do they agree on? Herschel writes a whole chapter on the errors of astronomy. La Place declares thnt tho moon was not put in the right place. He says that if it had been put four times farther from the earth than it is now there would bo more harmony in the universe, but Lionville comes up just in time to prove that the moon was put in the right place. How many colors woven into tho light? Seven, says Isaac Newton. Three, says David Brewster. How high is the aurora borealis? Two and a half miles, says Lias. One hundred and sixty-eight miles, says Twining. How far is the suu from the earth? Seventy-six million miles, says Lacalle. Eighty-two million miles, says Humboldt. Ninety million miles, says Henderson. One hundred and four million miles, says Mayer only a little difference of 2fi,000,000 miles ! All split up among themselves not agreeing on anything. They coma and say that tho churches of Jesus Christ are divided on the great doctrines. All united they are, in Jesus Christ, in the divinity of the Scrip tures. While they come up and propose to render their verdict, no two of them agree on that verdict. "Gentlemen of the jury, have 'ou agreed on a verdict?" asks the court or the oierk of the jury as they come in after having spout the whole night in deliberating. If thejury says, "Yes. we havo agreed," the verdict is recorded, but suppose one of the jurymen says, "I think the man was guilty of mur der.' another says, "I think he was guilty o' manslaughter iu the second degree," and another man says. "I think he was guilty of assault and battery, with intent to kill," the judge would say : "Go back to your room and bring in a verdict. Agree on something. That is no verdict." Here these infidel scientists have impan eled themselves as a jury to decide this trial between infidelity, the plaintiff, and Chris tianity, the defendant, and after being out for centuries they come in to render their verdict. Gentlemen of the jury, have you agreed on a verdict? No, no. Then go back for another 500 years and deliberate and agree on something. There is not a poor, miserable wretch in the Tombs coart to-morrow that could be condemned by a jury that did not agree on the verdict, and yet you ex pect us to give up our glorious Christianity to please these men who cannot agree on anything. Ah, my friends, the church of Jesus Christ instead of failing back, is on the advance ! I am certain it is on the advance. O Lord God, take Thy sword from Thy thigh and ride forth to tho victory ! I am mightily encouraged because I find among other things that while this Chris tianity has been bombarded for centuries in fidelity has not destroyed ono church, or crippled one minister, or uprooted one verse of one chapter of all the Bible. The church all the time getting the victory, and the shot and shell of its enemies nearly exhausted. 1 have been examining their ammunition lately. I have looked all through their J cartridge boxes. They have not in the last twenty yeirs advanced one neT idea. They have utterly exhausted their ammunition iu the battle against the church and against the Scriptures, while the sword of the Lord Almighty is as keen as it ever was. We are just getting our troops into line. They are coming up in companies, and in regiments, and in brigades, and you will hear a shout after awhile that witl make the earth qu ike apd the heavens ring with "Alleluia!" It will be this. "Forward, the whole line !" And then I find another most encouraging thought in the fact that the secular printing press and pulpit seem harnessed in the same team for the proclamation of the gospel. Every Wall street banker to-morrow in New Y'ork, every State street banker to-morrow in Boston, every Third street banker to-morrow in Philadelphia, every banker in the United States, and every merchant will have in hi3 pocket a treatise on Christianity, a call to repentence, ten, twenty or thirty passages of Scripture in the reports ot ses sion preached throughout these cities and throughout the land to-day. It will be so in Chicago, so in New Orleans, so in Charles ton, so in Boston, so in Philadelphia, so everywhere. I know the tract societies are doing a grand and glorious work, but I tell you tbera is no power on earth to-day equal to the factthatthe American printing press Istak ing up the sermons which are preached to a few hundred or a few thousand people and on Monday morning and Monday evening, in the morning and evening papers, scattering that truth to the millions. What a thouvht it is ! What an encouragement for every Christian man : Besides that, have you noticed that during the past few years every one of the doctrines of the Bible came under discussion in the 6eeular press? Do you not remember a few years ago, when every paper in the United States had an editorial on the sub ject, "Is There Such a Thing as Future Pun ishment?" It was the strangest thing that there should be a discussion in the secular papers on that subject, but very paper in the United States and in Christendom dis cussed. "Is There Such a Thing as Retribu tion?" I know there were small wits who made sport of the discussion, but there was not an intelligent man on earth who, as the result of that discussion, did not ask himself the question, "What is going to be my eter nal destiny?" So it was in regard to Tyndall's prayer gauge. About twelve years ago, you remember, the secular papers discussed that, ami with just as much earnestness as the religious papers, and there was not a man in Christen dom who did not ask himself the question "Is there anything in prayer? May the creature impress tho Creator?" Oh, what a mighty fact, what a glorious fact the secu lar printing press and the pulpit of the church of Jesus Christ harnessed in the same team 1 Then look at the international series of Sunday-school lessons. Do yon know that every Sabbath, between 3 and 5 o'clock, there are 5,000,000 children studying the same les son a lesson prepared by the leading minds of the country and printed in the papers and then these subjects are discussed and given over to the teachers, who give them over to the children? So, whereas, once, and within our memory, the children nibbled here and there at a 6tory in the Bible, now they are taken through from Genesis to Re velation, and we shall have 5,000,000 chil dren forestalled for Christianity. My soul is full of exultation. I feel as if I could shout I will shout, "Alleluia, the Lord God om nipotent reigneth !" Then you notice a more significant fact, if you have talked with people on the subject, that they are getting dissatisfied with philosophy and science as a matter of comfort. They say it does not amount to anything when you have a dead child in the house. They will tell you, when they were sick and the door of the future seemed opening, the only comfort they could find was in the Gospel. People are having demonstrated all over the land that science and philosophy cannot solace the trouble nnd woes of the world, and they want some other religion, and they are taking Chris tianity, the only sympathetic religion that ever came into the world. Now, there are some men who say they have never seen Christ crowned in the heart, and they do not believe it is ever done. There is a group of men who say they have never heard the voice of Christ; they have never heard the voice or God. They do not believe it ever transpired or was ever heard that anything like it ever occurred. I point to 20,000,000 or 1,000,000 people who say. "Christ Was crowned in our hearts' affec tions ; we have seen Him and felt Him in our souls, and we have heard His voice ; we have heard it In storm and darkness ; we have heard it again and again." Whose testimony will you take? These men who say they have not heard the voice, have not seen the coronation, or will you take the thousands and millions of Christians who testify of what they saw with their own eyes and heard with their own ears? Yonder is an aged Christian after fifty years' experience of the power of godliness in his soul. Ask thi3 man whether, when he buried his dead, the religion of Jesus Christ was not a consolation. Ask him if through the long years of his pilgrimage the Lord ever forsook him. Ask him if, when he looks forward to t.ie future, if ho has not a peace and a joy, and a consolation tho world can not tako away. Put this testimony of what he has seen and what he has felt opposite to the testimony of a man who says he has not seen anything on the subject or felt anything on the subject. Will you take the testimony of people who have not seen or people who havo seen? You say morphia puts one to sleep. You eay in time ot sickness it is very useful. I deny it. Morphia never puts anybody to sleep ; it never alleviates pain. You ask me why I say that. I have never tried it. I never took it. I deny that morphia is any soothing to the nerves or any quiet In time of sickness. I deny that morphia ever put anvbody to sleep, but here are twenty persons who say they hue all felt the soothing effects of a physician's prescribing morphine. Whose testimony will you take? Those who tooK the medicine or my testimony, I never hav ing taken the medicine? Here is the Gospel of Jesus Christ, an nnodyno for all trouble, the mightiest medicine that ever came down to earth. Here is a man who says : "I don't believe in it. There is no power in it." Here are other people who say : "We have found out its power and know its soothing influence. It has cured us." Whose testi mony will you take in regard to this healing medicine. I feel that I have convinced every man In this house that it is utter folly to take the testimony of those who have never tried the Gospel of Jesus Christ In their own heart and life. We havo tens of thousands of wit nesses. I believe you are ready to take their testimony. Young man, do not be ashamed io be a friend of th Bible. Do not put your thumb in your vest, as young men sometimes do, and swagger about talking of the glori ous light of the nineteenth century and of there being no need of a Bible. T hey have the light of nature in India and China and in all tho dark places ou earth. Did you ever hear that the light of naturo gavethem com fort for their trouble? They have lancets to cut and juggernauts to crush, but no com fort. Ah, my friends, you liad better stop your skepticism. Suppose you aro put io this crisis: Oh, father, your child is dying. What are you going to say to her? Colonel Ethan Allen was a famous infidel in his day. His wife was a very consecrated, woman. The mother instructed the daugh ter iu the cruth3 of Christianity. The daugh ter sickened and was about to die. and she said to her father : "Father, shall I take 3-our instruction, or shall I take mother's in struction? I am going to die now. I must have this matter decided." That man who had been loud in his infidelity, said to nil dying daughter. "My dear, you had better take your mother's religion." My advice is the same to you oh, young man, you had better take your mother's religion. You know how it comforted her. Y'ou know what she said to you when she was dying. You had better take your mother's religion. Surgery on a Tiger. An operation for appeadieitis was per formed the other day on "Jim Blaine," a royal Bengal tiger in the winter nuarters of a circus at Baraboo. Wis. "Jim" has been suffering for several wmks. Wednesday a celebrated New York specialist, who was in Baraboo attending a wealthy lumber merchant, visited the circus quarters and noticed the beast clawing at his abdo men. He hazarded ths rema-' that appen dicitis was the trouble. Wt-ri asked if he would operate on the tiger ho said he would for $750. This was agreed to, and tho beast was secured by ropes, chains and a mu ,'le. and the doctor entered the cage. He was as sisted by two young students.

New York will soon bo the best lighted port fa. the whole world, and the first move toward that end is about to bo made by the Lighthouse Board. The most powerful and largest electric search light ever made has been brought from Chicago, where it was on exhibition at he World's Fair, and will be FIRE ISLAND LIOHT AND placed in position in Fire Island Lighthouse, off Long Island, as soon as the machinery with which it is to be operated can be com pleted. The old light in this lighthouse, ac cording to the New York world, throws a light which can be seen by vessels nearly twenty miles in clear weather. The new light will be visible by reflection on the sky for more than 100 miles, and will be so pow erful that the ordinary Atlantic seaboard fog LATER NEWS. Ji stice B. V. B.

Danger of the Bl iefields incident assuming .in important international aspect has vanished, as h;is received from the Britain that the the State Department satisfactory assurance Government of Great landing of troops from H. M. S. Cleopatra at Jjmcn3ias, Nicaragua, was solely tor the protection of the interests tliere ot Brtusn suDjeets. Secretary Gresham's report to the Senate on the Bluefields incident shows that Eng lish troops were landed to protect property nnd not to establish a protectorate. Thb statistics issued by Lloyds show that within the last three months twenty-eight vessels have been abandoned in the Atlantic.

The new bigthirteen-inch gun, the largest ever made in the United States, was fired twice at Indian Hoad proving grounds on the Potomac, twenty-two miles from Wash ington, in the presence of a company of dis tinguished officials, including Vice-President Stevenson, with Secretury Herbert and a full representation of the bureau officers of the Navy Department, and members of the Senato and House Committees on Naval Af fairs. It had been arranged to first fire tho star performer of the day, and the visitors wero taken to examine it mounted and ready to recoive its first charge. The gun itself weighs sixty-five tons, the brass saddle upon which it rests ten tonp, and tho carriago upon which it is mounted twenty five tons, making a mass of 100 tons. Tho first forging for a thirteen inch gun wa3 made in 1890, so that the weapon may be said to have been four years in building. When Lieut enart Mason essayed to start the hydraulic machinery by which the enormous gun is moved a water pipe burst, and tho test was delayed until tem porary repairs could be made. In the meantime, the secondary experi ment of the occasion was undertaken. That was to determine whether a Harverlzed nickel steel armor plate twelve inches thick could be demolished by a ten-inch cast steel projectile. The first one fired was what is known as the Johnson cast steel shct. It weighed 500 pounds, was propelled by the explosion of 171 pounds ot powder, and struck the target (about 300 feet from the gun's muzzle) with a velocity of 1600 feet a second. About five inches of the projectile was driven into the plate, the remainder being broken into frag ments, some of which rebounded 200 or 300 yards. The plate was cracked, to the two edges nearest the point of impact, to au apparent depth of about five inches. The second shot fired was a Carpenter armor piercing projectile of the same weight and with the same charge as the Johnson shell. It penetrated the plate to alout tho same depth and was ak completely shattered, but the shock open! the cracks made by the Johnson shot clear through the plate, loosening the portion of that shot which had been imbedded in the mass and pretty thoroughly demolishing it. Then came the test of th j thirteen-inch gun. A projectile weighing J 100 pounds was rammed into the monster, and 403 pounds of hexagonal brown powder deposited in tho cavity behind it. The purpose of the test was to determine at what velocity that quantity of powder would drive the mis sile out of the muzzle. This informa tion was secured by the U3e of an electrical device known as the chronograph. The pro jectile was driven into a bank of earth across the little valley in which the proving ground proper is located, passing through two frames or screens thirty metres ninety eight feet apart. Across these s ;reens were five wires, which the shot severed as it passed. The difference in the time of breaking these wires was shown by the chronograph at the office on the grounds, where Ensign McCully watched ttie delicate instruments and made the necessary calculations. The shot was found to have been traveling when it cut these wires at the rate of 1720 feet a second. For the second shot the charge of powder was increased to 430 pounds, with the result of increasing the velocity to 1975 feet per second. This completed the official programme of the day, but in the interim an exhibition was make of the smokeless powder with which the naval officials are experimenting. A four-inch rapid-firing gun was used, and the projectile struck the water down the river about two miles, being clearly apparent to all who watched it. The results of both gun and plate tests were satisfactory to the officials. THE BLAND BILL PASSED. ! THE SENATE FAVORS COIN AGE OF THE SEIGNIORAGE.

The majority in favor 'f the p;isge of the Bland seigniorage bill was unexpeefe !y large. Even the friMnd of the bill had un derestimated the number of its supporters.

Senator I.imbny. on the other hand, who is regarded a an A 1 ministratlon man, and who is at lt a mouthpiece for Secretary Carlisle, spoke and votd in its favor.

Wilson -:il Definition of 'Seitjnlorane." The New York Recorder offered a pri '. ! ot twenty-five dollars for the best definition of the word "Saigniorage," so frequently he ir I of late in connection with the silver ques tion. A definition of the word given by Senator Sherman, aud agreed to by silet Senators, is in these words "The seignior age is merely the difference between the coinage value of the silver hnd its cost." The clearest, briefest, nnd. on the whole, best statement of whnt "seigniorage" means ns applied to the exlsttn;; financial condition of this country was that received from M: . Fred. J. Hery.og, of New York, to whom there fore the paper has awarded its pn.". Mr. Herzog's definition is as follows ".Seigniorage consists of the difference be tween the cost of an amount of bullion and the face value of the coins tnintnd from it. By the Sherman aet the Government was compelled to purchase 4.500,000 ounces of silver per month, at thf: : market price. As the price of silver fluctuated, ho the amount of Treasury notes issued in payment of this bullion sometimes increased, sometimes di minished. The downward tendency having been greater in the last few years, there were issued, from tho time of the passage of the Sherman act to its repeal, f 154.000.000 in Treasury notes, ta cover an amount of bul lion which should actually have muds 'Olt, 000.000 silver dollars. Ir ot her words, flier is now au amount of bullion (in ex-e, of the reserve necessary to cover the $ 15 1.000, 000 Treasury notes) in the Treasury which, it coined, would make 55.000,000 silver dollars, against which the seigniorage bill is to issue pipr currency, and so put .55.HK1.000 in the Treasury and help the Government out of its financial difficulties." TRENTON DEADLOCK BROKEN The Supreme Court Decides Against the Democrats. Chief Justice Ileasley at Trenton read the opinion of tho New Jersey Supreme Court it. the Senate deadlock ease. The opinion de clares that the content io- of the Republicans that the court has no jurisdiction in the vm is not good, and then decides that Senator Adrain has notitletotho office of President of the Senate, but that Son itor Rogers was elected by a majority of those legally en titled to take art in the organization of the Senate, and therefore his title to the ofib'e of President is constitutional and valid. Th Chief Justice said that Justices Van Syckle, Depue, Dixon, lioed, Garrison and Lippin cott concurred in the decision, but that Jus tice Abbett held other views, which ho would formulate and file hereafter. After hearing the decision. Allan Mcller mott said that he still held to his opinion th t the Senate is a continuous body. Senator Adrain also declared that his views had not been changed by the court's decision, but he said he would join the Republican Sen itors and take part in the work of legislation. He thought all the Democratic Sen itors would do so. The court's decision makes valid ai lawn all the bills passod by the House and the I;c publfcan Senate and deposited with the Gov ernor. There an sixteen of them, all of which wero filed with the Governor and with the Secretary of State. Aru-eig them is Senator Voorhoes's bill pro viding for the appointment f'f the Secretary of State as the cus todian of the laws. A repealer of this is to be introduced an i parsed at once.
