PREFACE. 



THE DAILY NEWS ALMANAC for 1892, while cover- 
ing with completeness its usual wide range of subjects, is specially 
designed to be a vade mecum for the presidential campaign of the 
year. A complete comparison of the imports and exports under 
the old and new tariffs will enable the reader to determine what has 
been the effect of the change in the tariff laws. A full and impar- 
tial history of the coinage of gold and silver, with summary of all 
laws passed since the formation of the government, is given^ so that 
tt may readily be seen how the two metals have been used in our 
coinage and how the ratio between the two has been maintained. 
An account of the rise and progress of the farmers 1 movement in 
the United States is of timely interest. 

Liberal space is allotted to the World's Fair at Chicago. 

7 he New Orleans massacre and fhe diplomatic correspondence 
with Italy growing out of it are t> eated at length. A complete ac- 
count of the Nicaragua canal, with a statement of previous efforts 
at its construction, is given. The progress and culmination of the 
confederation movement in Australia and the Chilean war, which 
are among the foreign events that have awakened widespread in- 
terest in this country, are concisely discussed 

In religious matters the history of the efforts at creed revision 
in the Presbyterian church is set out at some length the subject 
being of general interest to Christians of all denominations. 

Politically 1891 was an "off year " but elections have been held 
in nineteen states, jive of which chose their governors. Among these 
five are some that are regarded as pivotal in the presidential elec- 
tion of the year, while all have an important bearing on that 
contest. 

The DA1L Y NE WS ALMANA C for 1892, as will be seen 
by reference to its indeod contains a vast amount of new matter 
which is of very general public importance and value. No pains 
have been spared to meet the universal demand for non-partisan and 
reliable information upon educational, political, financial and relig- 
ious affairs. 1 he census returns have been drawn on for much 
late and valuable statistical matter. The invitation is renewed by 
the editor to all friends of \the work to furnish him With criticisms 
and suggestions for future issues.

HISTORY OF OUR COINAGE. 



27 



HISTORY OF_OTTR COINAGE. 

Including a summary of all the laws of the United States for the minting 
of gold and silver. 



THE FIRST COINAGE LAW. 
THE ACT OF 1792. 

The first act of the congress of the United 
States respecting coinage was the act of April 
2, 1792, entitled "An act establishing a mint 
and regulating the coins of the United States." 
The ninth section of this act provided: 

"That there shall be from time to time 
struck and coined at the said mint, coins of 
?old, silver and copper of the following de- 
nominations, values and descriptions, viz: 
Eagles each to be of the value of ten dollars 
or units, and to contain two hundred and forty- 
seven grains and four-eighths of a grain of 
pure, or two hundred and seventy grains of 
standard gold." 

After providing for half eagles, each to be 

of half the value of the eagle, and quarter 

eagles, each to be'of one-fourth of the value 

of the eagle, the section continues, as follows: 

'Dollars or units Each to be of the value of 

Spanish milled dollar as the same is now 

current, and to contain three hundred and 

seventy-one grains and four-sixteentli parts 

of a grain of pure, or four hundred and sixteen 

grains of standard silver." 

The act also provided for half-dollars, quar- 
ter-dollars, dimes and half-dimes, each to con- 
tain, respectively, one-half, one-fourth, one- 
tenth and one-twentieth of the pure silver 
contained in the dollar. The coinage of cents 
and half-cents of copper were also provided 
for. 

It will be seen that in this first coinage act 
the words "dollar or unit" are applied equally 
to dollars of gold and the dollar of silver that 
is, "dollar" is the name of the unit of money 
in our system, and the gold eagle was to be 
of the value of ten dollars, or units. The coin 
which represented exactly the unit was the 
silver dollar, and the act provided that it 
should be of the value of the Spanish milled 
dollar, as that piece was then current. The 
assay of a number of Spanish dollars, then in 
common use, showed them to contain three 
hundred and seventy-one and a fourth grains 
of pure silver, or four hundred and sixteen 
grains of standard silver. 

The proportion of pure gold to the alloy in 
gold coins was made by this act, eleven parts 
gold and one part alloy, the alloy being com- 
posed of silver and copper. The proportion of 
pure silver to the alloy in silver coins was 
made fourteen hundred and eighty-five parts 
fine silver to one hundred ana seventy-nine 
parts alloy. The reason for this proportion of 
silver to alloy was that the alloy was found in 
that proportion in the Spanish dollars then 
current. These coins having been a long time 
in circulation were more or less worn and 
their assay did not show the exact original 
weight of the coin, and probably not the exact 
original proportion of alloy. The alloy in the 
silver dollar consisted of 44^ grains of copper, 
making the dollar 892.4 fine; this, by the act 
of 1837, was changed to S\>/i grains of copper, 
making the standard nine-tenths fine. Section 
11 of the act provided: 

"That the proportional value of gold to sil- 
ver in all coins which shall by law be current 



as money within the United States, shall be as 




weight of pure gold, and so in proportion as 
to any greater or less quantities of the respect- 
ive metals." 

A dollar of gold contained 24.75 grains of pure 
metal, and a dollar of silver 371.25 grains- 



being exactly 15 to 1. Section 14 provided. 

"That it shall be lawful for any person or 
persons to bring to the said mint gold and sil- 
ver bullion, in order to their being coined; 
and that the bullion so brought shall be there 
assayed and coined as speedily as may be after 
the receipt thereof, and that free of expense 
to the person or persons by whom the same 
shall have been brought. And as soon as the 
said bullion shall have been coined, the per- 
son or persons by whom the same shall have 
been delivered,shall,upon demand, receive in 
lieu thereof coins of the same species of bull- 
ion which shall have been so delivered, weight 
for weight, of the pure gold or pure silver 
therein contained." 

Section 16, which follows, made the coinage 
of both metals equally a lawful tender in all 
payments whatsoever, thus establishing the 
free coinage and full legal tender of both met- 
als without limit, at the ratio of 15 to 1. The 
exact language of section 16 of the act is: 

"That all the gold and silver coins which 
shall have been struck at. and issued from the 
said mint, shall be a lawful tender in all pay- 
ments whatsoever; those of full weight ac- 
cording to the respective values hereinbefore 
declared, and those of less than full weight 
at values proportional to their respective 
weights." 

Thus it will be seen that by this first act of 
congress establishing a mint, gold and silver, 
as recommended by Hamilton and Jefferson, 
and approved by Washington, were placed 
upon an exact equality as money metals, and 
their coinage made free and unlimited. 

The ratio of 15 to 1 foi American coins was 
not exactly in accordance with the ratio which 
then prevailed in European countries. Silver 
was slightly over-valued and gold a little 
under-valued. The result was that the metal- 
lic money of the United States, during this 
period consisted mostly of silver coins and 
largely of foreign coins. BuUll, 908,890of gold 
altogether were coined from 1793 to 1834, and 
this was generally soon exported. The pro- 
duction of gold for the same period in the 
United States is given at $14,000,000. 

But it should be remembered that this ratio 
of 15 to 1 was adopted eleven years before the 
law of France, enacted in 1803, fixed the wav- 
ering ratio at 15^ to 1, at which it stood with- 
out variation except as accounted for by the 
course of exchange, till 1873. 

COINAGE LAWS FROM 1792 TO 1873. 

The act of May 8, 1792, provided for the pur- 
chase of copper, "not exceeding 150 tons," "to 
be coined into cents and half cents," which, 
by the act of April 2, 1792, were to contain 
respectively eleven and five and a half penny- 
weights. The act of Jan. 14, 1793, provided 
that the cent piece should contain 208 grains 
of copper and the half cent 104 grains. 

The act of Feb. 9, 1793, prescribed the rates 
at which foreign gold and silver coins should 
be legal tender in the United States. This act 
provided that Spanish milled dollars should 
be legal tender "at the rate of 100 cents for 
each dollar, the actual weight whereof shall 
not be less than seventeen pennyweights and 
seven grains." Section 2 of this act provided, 
"That at the expiration of three years next 
ensuing the time when the coinage of gold 
and silver, agreeably to the act entitled 'An 
act establishing a mint and regulating the 
coins of the United States.' shall commence 
at the mint of the United States (which time 
shall be announced by the proclamation of 
the president of the United States), all foreign 
gold coins and all foreign silver coins, except 



CHICAGO DALLY NEWS ALMANAC FOR 1892. 



Spanish milled dollars and parts of such dol- 
lars, shall cease to be a legal tender, as afore- 
said." By this provision it will be seen that 
while all other coins were to be deprived of 
legal tender, the Spanish milled dollar was to 
continue to be a part of the money of the 
country. 

Section 5 of the act of March 3, 1795, pro- 
vided for the deduction of 2 cents per ounce 
from deposits of silver bullion when below 
the standard of the United States, and 4 cents 
per ounce from gold bullion below the United 
States standard, to cover the cost of refining. 
Section 7 of this act provided that preference 
mteht be given in coining gold or silver 
bullion which came up to the United States 
standard, over that which required to be re- 
fined. Section 8 of the same act authorized 
the president of the United States to reduce 
the weight of the copper coin. 

The act of Feb. 1, 1798, suspended lor three 
years the act of Feb. 9, 1793, and made foreign 
gold and silver coins legal tender until 1801. 

Section 2 of the act of April 24, 1800, provided 
"That there shall be retained from every de- 
posit in the mint of gold or silver bullion be- 
low the standard of the United States such 
sum as shall be equivalent to the expense 
incurred in refining the same." Thus, the only 
charge made at the mint against either gold 
or silver bullion was the cost of refining it 
when below the coining standard. 

The act of April 10, 1806, repealed the act of 
Feb. 9, 1793, regulating foreign coins, and pro- 
vided that "Foreign gold and silver coins shall 
pass current as money within the United 
States and be a legal tender for the payment 
of all debts and demands," at rates provide d 
in the act. Among the coins named was the 
Spanish milled dollar. This act also made it 
the duty of the secretary of the treasury to 
cause assays of foreign coins to be had at the 
mint of the United States each year and to 
make a report thereof to congress. 

The act of April 21, 1806, provided penalties 
for falsifying or counterfeiting coins of the 
United States, or foreign coins circulating in 
the United States. 

The act of April 29, 1816, provided that after 
three years gold coins of Great Britain, 
France, Portugal and Spain, and the crowns 
and 5-franc silver pieces of France should not 
be legal tender. This act was, however, mod- 
fled by the act of March 3, 1819, which pro- 
vided that from and after the 1st day of No- 
vember of that year foreign gold coins should 
cease to be legal tender in the United States. 
The French crown and 5-f ranc piece, however, 
were continued as legal tender for two years 
and were afterward continued legal tender 
till 1823 and again till 1827. 

But by the act of March 3, 1823,all foreign gold 
coins were again made receivable for public 
lands. The act of June 25, 1834, made the dol- 
lar piece of Mexico, Peru, Chile and Central 
America and the 5-f r&nc piece of France legal 
tender at their nominal value when of full 
weight. 

As will appear from the foregoing summary 
of the coinage laws from 1792 to 1834, the coin- 
age of both gold and silver for the benefit of 
the holder remained free and unrestricted at 
the ratio of 15 to 1, as established by the act of 
1792, and that during this period foreign gold 
and silver coins, at values designated by con- 
gress, continued to be current in the United 
States. It is worthy of note roo. that at no time 
was the Spanish milled dollar, the prototype of 
the American standard dollar, barred from cir- 
culation or deprived of its legal tender quality. 

In 1834 the first change in the ratio of pure 
metal in the gold and silver coins of the 
United States was made. By the act of June 
28,the pure gold in the gold eagle was reduced 
from 247H> grains to 232 grains, and the other 



gold pieces in proportion. Section 3 of the act 
changing the weight of gold coins provided 
"That all gold coins of the United States 
minted anterior to the 31st day of July next 
shall be receivable in all payments at the rate 
of 94.8 cents per pennyweight." 

By an act of the same date foreign gold 
coins were made current in the United States 
at the same rate per penny weight as provided 
for United States gold coins, except French 
gold coins, which, being nine-tenths fine (in- 
stead of eleven-twelfths fine, as were our first 
gold and most foreign gold coins), were made 
current at the rate of 93.1 cents a penny- 
weight. 

This act of 1834 making the eagle contain 232 
grains of pure and 258 grains of standard gold, 
changed the alloy to very nearly one-tenth in- 
stead of eleven-twelfths. If the pure gold in 
the eagle had been made 232.2 grains instead 
of 232 grains, the proportion of pure gold to 
alloy would have been exactly as 9 to 1. The 
change to this proportion was made three 
years later when the French standard of fine- 
ness was adopted for both gold and silver 
coins, and from that date all our gold and sil- 
ver coins have been nine-tenths fine. 

The new gold coins provided for by the act 
of 1834 were made legal tender in all payments. 
The old gold coins, those coined prior to 1834, 
as shown above, were made receivable in all 
payments at the rate of 94.8 cents per penny- 
weight, and as the eagle piece contained 270 
grains eleven-twelfths fine, or 27 grains of the 
then standard gold to the dollar, these coins 
were by this act raised to $1.066. 

The ratio of pure gold to pure silver in our 
coins was made by the act of 1834, 23.2 to 371^, 
or almost exactly 16 to 1. No change was made 
in our silver coins by the act of 1834. Why the 
ratio should have been changed at this time 
from 15 to 1, as established in 1792, to 16 to 1, 
thirty-one years after the French act of 1803, 
which had practically fixed the ratio for all 
Europe at 15} to I, is difficult to understand. 
The reason usually given is that under the 
ratio of 15 to 1 little or no gold came or stayed 
here, and new mines of gold having been dis- 
covered in North Carolina and Georgia about 
this time, the higher ratio was adopted in or- 
der to give the gold a higher rating relatively 
to silver, and thereby keep it here. 

In the debates in the house in 1834 there was 
some opposition to the adoption of the ratio of 
16 to 1, but an amendment offered in the house 
by Mr. Selden to make the ratio 15.K25 to 1 was 
voted down by 127 to 52. In the senate there 
was but little discussion on the subject and 
but seven votes were cast against the bill. Mr. 
Ewing, however, as did Mr. Gorham of the 
house, expressed the opinion that the act 
rated gold too high and that the effect would 
be that silver coins would leave the country 
as gold coins had before. 

It the ratio fixed in the act of 1792 was a mis- 
take, the ratio adopted by the act of 1834 was a 
much greater mistake, since, while in 1792 
Europe had not settled on a definite ratio, in 
1834 the ratio of 15^ to 1 had been well estab- 
lished for over thirty years. This mistake has 
been a grievous stumbling-block in the way ot 
establishing a uniform ratio for the different 
countries. 

The discovery of gold in North Carolina and 
Georgia led to the establishment in 1835 of 
three branch mints, one at New Orleans, one 
at Charlotte, N. C., and one at Dahlohnega, 
Ga.; but except the mint at Xew Orleans they 
were little used. 

The act of Jan. 18, 1837, revised the mint laws 
throughout and condensed the whole into 
thirty-eight sections of a new act, which is 
known as the mint act of 1837. Section 8 of this 
act provided "That the standard for both gold 
and silver coins of the United States shall 



HISTORY OB' OUR COINAGE. 



rts by weight 
900 shall be of pure metal and 100 of alloy; and 
the alloy of the silver coins shall be of copper; 
and the alloy of the gold coins shall be of cop- 
per and silver, provided that the silver does 
not exceed one-half of the whole alloy." 

Section 9 provided "That of the silver coins 
the dollar shall be of the weight of 412^ 
grains; the half-dollar of the weight of 20CJ| 
grains; the quarter-dollar of the weight of 
103^ grains; the dime, or tenth part of a dol- 
lar, of the weight of 41^ grains; and the half- 
dime, or twentieth part of a dollar, of the 
weight of 20^6 grains. And that dollars, half- 
dollars and quarter-dollars, dimes and half- 
dimes shall be legal tenders of payment ac- 
cording to their nominal value for any sums 
whatever." 

Section 10 provided "That of the gold coins 
the weight of the eagle shall be 258 grains; 
that of the half-eagle 129 grains, and that of 
the quarter-eagle 64J4 grains. And that for all 
sums whatever tfce eagle shall be a legal ten- 
der of payment for $10. the half-eagle for $5 
and the quarter-eagle for 12.50." 

Section 11 provided "That the silver coins 
heretofore issued at the mint of the United 
States, and the gold coins issued since the 
31st day of July 1834, shall continue to be legal 
tenders 8f payment for their nominal values 
on the same terms as if they were of the coin- 
age provided for by this act." 

The only change made in the gold coins by 
this act, from the act of 1834, was that by this 
act the alloy in gold coins as well as in silver 
coins was made exactly one-tenth; that is, the 
standard for coins of both metals was made 
by this act nine-tenths fine; and since the 
passage of this act standard gold and standard 
silver is understood to be gold or silver nine- 
tenths fine. To bring the alloy in gold coins to 
exactly one-tenth of the weight of the coin, the 
small fraction of two-tenths of a grain of 
pure gold was added to the weight of the 
eagle, or two-hundredths of a grain to a dol- 
lar, and the alloy reduced by the same 
amount, so that the weight of the eagle re- 
mained exactly the same under both acts; 
that is, 258 grains for the eagle piece, or 25.8 
grains to the dollar. But by this change in the 
relative weight of pure metal and alloy, the 
ratio between gold and silver coins was 
changed from almost exactly 16 to 1, to 15.988- 
plus to 1, our present ratio. 

After providing for devices, legends, etc., on 
the various coins, section 14 provided "That 
gold and silver bullion brought to the mint 
for coinage shall be received and coined by 
the proper officers for the benefit of the de- 
positor." 

It was made lawful by this act to refuse a 
deposit of less value than $100, or of bullion so 
base as to be unsuitable for the mint. Depos- 
itors were to be paid for bullion in coin, and 
in the order in which deposits were made. 

Sections 15 and 19 provided for weighing de- 
posits in the presence of the depositor and for 
giving a certificate for the net amount "to be 
paid in coins of th same species of bullion as 
that deposited." 

Section 18 specified what charges the depos- 
itor of bullion should be subject to. These 
are: "For refining when the bullion is below 
standard," for purifying "when metals are 
contained in it which render it unfit for 
coining." etc. These charges were not to ex- 
ceed r however, the cost to the mint of the 
labor and materials required to bring the 
metals to the proper standard. 

Between the act of 1792, establishing the 
mint, and the act of 1837, no change whatever 
was made in the silver coins, and the only 
change made in these coins by the act of 1837 
was the change in the alloy from 44% grains, as 
contained in the dollar of the act of 1792, to 



41J4 grains, the pure sliver being left the same 
exactly by the act of 1837 as it was in the orig- 
inal act of 1792. The pure gold was changed 
from 24.75 grains to a dollar, as in the act of 
1792, to 23.22 grains, as fixed in the act of 1837. 
As 371!^ grains is the weight of pure silver in 
our present standard dollar, it will be seen 
that this unit has therefore never varied in 
weight of pure metal through all the changes 
of our mint laws. It stands to-day the same 
dollar it was when our money system was 
established. 

By the act of March 3, 1843, British gold coins 
were made legal tender at the rate of 94.6 
cents per pennyweight; French gold coins 
nine-tenths fine were made legal tender at the 
rate of 92.9 per pennyweight. By the same act 
the silver dollars of Mexico, Peru and Bolivia 
were made legal tender at their nominal value ; 
the French 5-franc piece was made legal ten- 
der for 93 cents. 

The act of March 3, 1849, provided for the 
gold dollar piece to contain 25.8 grains of 
standard gold and "to be of the value of one 
dollar, or unit." This act also provided for a 
$20 piece. 

The act of March 3, 1851, provided for coin- 
ing the 3-cent piece to meet the requirements 
of the 3-cent postage law. 

The change in the ratio to 16 to 1, in 1834, 
while the European ratio stood at 15!^ to 1, led 
to the exportation of nearly all our full-weight 
silver coins. For, by this variation in the ratio 
between the two metals i the United States 
and in Europe, full-weight silver coins were 
worth for export a little more than 3 per cent 
more than our gold coins; and as our sub- 
sidiary coins contained proportionally the 
same weight of pure silver contained in the 
dollar piece, it was as profitable to export 
these coins as the dollar piece; consequently 
the country was well-nigh depleted of small 
coins. To remedy this evil congress, by the 
act of Feb. 21. 1853, reduced the weight of the 
half-dollar from 206^ grains to 192 grains 
standard silver and the smaller silver coins in 
proportion. Until this act fractional silver 
coins were legal tender for all sums; but by 
this act they were made legal tender for $5 
only. Deposits of silver for coinage into frac- 
tional pieces for the benefit of the depositor 
were no longer received, but provision was 
made for the purchase of silver bullion on 
government account for the fabrication of the 
light-weight subsidiary coins. The same act 
provided for the redemption of subsidiary 
coins and for their transmission to assistant 
treasurers and depositaries free of charge. 

Section 6 of this act provided that depositors 
might, at their option, have their gold and sil- 
ver cast into ingots or bars. 

Section 7 of the same act provided for the 
coinage of the $3 gold piece, which, like the 
3-cent silver piece, was never a popular coin. 

The act of Feb. 21, 1857. deprived all foreign 
coins of currency in the United States. The 
old Spanish quarter, the shilling or eighth, the 
sixpence, or sixteenth of the Spanish milled 
dollar and of the Mexican dollar, which had 
passed current for 25, 12^ and &4 cents re- 
spectively, were made receivable by the gov- 
ernment for 20, 10 and 5 cents respectively, 
and when so received they were to be re- 
minted into American coins. 

Sect on 3 of this act provided "That all for- 
mer acts authorizing the currency of foreign 
gold or silver coins, and declaring the same a 
legal tender in payment for debts, are hereby 
repealed.' 

This act also provided for the present form 
of the cent piece of seventy-two grains, com- 
posed of copper and nickel. The 5-cent nickel 
piece to take the place of fractional currency 
and to be a legal tender for $1 was provided 
for by the act of May 16, 1866.

CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC FOR 



From this summary of the coinage laws of 
the United States it will be seen that from 
the foundation of the mint down to 1873 gold 
and silver stood upon a plane of absolute 
equality as to all rights of mintage and power 
of legal tender. The unit rested on both 
metals alike. No discrimination whatever 
was made in any act between the two metals. 
Holders of gold and silver bullion were al- 
lowed, throughout this period of more than 
three-quarters of a century, without any dis- 
crimination whatever, to deposit their metal 
and have the same coined for their benefit 
into the various full legal tender coins 
prescribed by congress, without limit and free 
of cost, except such, expense as might be in- 
curred by the mint to bring the bullion to the 
required standard for coinage. 

DEMONETIZATION OF SILVER. 
THE ACT OP 1873. 

In 1867 an international monetary conference 
was held in Paris, at which Samuel B. Rug- 
gles represented the United States. At this 
conference our representative favored "a 
common unit of money," which was to be gold 
alone. In June, 1868, Hon. John Sherman, 
chairman of the senate finance committee, 
made a report to the senate in favor of "a 
single standard exclusively of gold" and the 
same year introduced a bill having for its ob- 
ject the establishment of a single standard 
"exclusively of gold" with silver for subsid- 
iary purposes only. This bill was not put upon 
its passage. In April, 1870, Mr. Sherman in- 
troduced a bill "revising the laws relating to 
the mints, assay offices and coinage of the 
United States," which was accompanied by a 
letter from Mr. Boutwell, secretary of the 
treasury, stating that "the passage of the en- 
closed bill" would "conduce to the efficiency 
and economy of this important branch of the 
government service." On the 10th of January, 
1871, the bill passed the senate and the next 
day went to the house. 

There has been considerable dispute as to 
the means used to secure a passage of this 
bill. The friends of silver declare that the 
house was tricked into its passage, while the 
advocates of the bill affirm that it was fairly 
introduced and passed. It is, however, cer- 
tain that the bill was never read in the house 
and that Mr. Ke'lley, who had first charge of 
the bill, did not himself understand its full 

Section 14 of the bill provided that "the gold 
coins of the United States shall be a one dol- 
lar piece, which, at the standard weight of 
twenty-five and eight-tenths grains, shall be 
the unit of value." Section 16 of the act pro- 
vided that the weight of the silver dollar 
should be 884 grains "and shall be a legal ten- 
der at its nominal value for any amount not 
exceeding $5 in one payment." This section 
dropped the old dollar of 412 grains, substitut- 
ing a new one of 384 grains in its place and 
limited its legal tender functions to $5 and 
changed the ratio between gold and silver 
from 16 to 1 to 14.8 to 1, 

Section 22 of the act took away the right to 
have silver coined for the benefit of the de- 
positor a right that had existed from the 
formation of the government. As the bill 
had been materially changed in the house it 
went back to the senate in May. The bill 
was reported back with various amendments, 
which were printed January 7, 1873. The bill, 
as amended in the senate, provided for a 
"trade dollar" of 420 grains troy, striking out 
the provision for a 384-grain dollar as provided 
by the house, but made the silver coins legal 
tender for not more than $5. The senate also 
I amended the deposit section, enabling a de- 
positor to have trade dollars coined but no 
other silver coins. The bill passed the senate 



January 17, 1873, and went to the house, which 
did not concur in the senate amendments. A 
conference committee was appointed which 
agreed to the senate bill, and on the 6th of 
February the senate adopted the committee's 
report and the house adopted it on the next 
day, and the bill became a law. 

THE BLAND- ALLISON ACT OF 1878. 

The act of 1873 was specially unpopular at 
the west and was violently assailed as well as 
vigorously defended, and numerous resolu- 
tions were introduced into the Forty-fifth con- 
gress to restore the silver dollar. Nov. 5, 1877, 
Mr. Bland moved to suspend the rules of the 
house and pass a bill providing "that there 
shall be coined at the several mints of the 
United States silver dollars of the weight of 
412^ grains troy of standard silver, as provided 
in the act of Jan. 18, 1837, on which shall be the 
device and superscriptions provided by said 
act; which coins, together with all silver dol- 
lars heretofore coined by the United States of 
like weight and fineness, shall be a legal ten- 
der at their nominal value for all debts and 
dues public and private, except where other- 
wise provided by contract; and any owner of 
silver bullion may deposit the same at any 
United States coining-mint or assay office, to 
be coined into such dollars, for his benefit, 
upon the same terms and conditions as gold 
bullion is deposited for coinage under existing 
laws. 

"All acts and parts of acts inconsistent with 
the provisions of this act are hereby re- 
pealed." 

This was agreed to and passed by a vote of 
164 to 34 and it went to the senate. Mr. Allison 
moved In the senate to amend by striking out 
the last clause commencing "and any owner" 
and inserting the following: 

"And the secretary of the treasury is 
authorized and directed, out of any money in 
the treasury not otherwise appropriated, to 
purchase, from time to time, silver bullion, at 
the market price thereof, not less than two 
million dollars per month nor more than four 
million dollars per month, and cause the same 
to be coined monthly, as fast as so purchased, 
into such dollars. And any gain or seignorage 
arising from this coinage shall be accounted 
for and paid into the treasury, as provided 
under existing laws relative to the subsidiary 
coinage; provided, that the amount of money 
at any one time invested in such silver bull- 
ion, exclusive of such resulting coin, shall 
not exceed five million dollars." 

The Bland bill with Allison's amendment 
passed the senate Feb. 15, 1878, by a vote of 48 
to 21. The bill went back to the house for con- 
currence Feb. 21, 1878, when it passed by a vote 
of 203 to 72. 

President Hayes vetoed the bill Feb. 28, and 
in the same day it was passed over his veto by 
a vote of 196 to 73 in the house and 46 to 19 in 
the senate. This bill, instead of restoring sil- 
ver to its place as a money metal, provided 
merely for making money out of silver, but it 
restored the legal tender power of the old 
dollar, except where "expressly stipulated in 
the contract" gold was to be paid. 

PERIOD FROM 1878 TO 1890. 

Neither the silver advocates nor the single 
standard champions accepted as final the act 
of 1878. In the extra session of the Forty- 
sixth congress Mr. Warner of Ohio April 30, 
1879, introduced a bill amending section 3,511 of 
the Revised Statutes so as to read as follows: 
"The gold coins of the United States shall be 
a dollar or unit, " etc. 

Also amending section 3,513 of the Revised 
Statutes so as to make it read: "The silver coins 
of the United States shall be a dollar or unit," 
etc.. thus restoring the unit to both metals. 

Also to amend section 3,520 of the Revised 



HISTORY OF OUR COINAGE. 



Statutes so as to make it read: "Any owner 
of silver bullion may deposit the same at any 
mint, to be formed into bars or into standard 
dollars of the weight of 412!^ grains troy, for 
his benefit," etc., thus restoring unlimited 
coinage. 

Also section 3,585 so as to make it read: 
"The gold coins of the United States and 
standard silver dollars shall be a legal tender 
in all payments, " etc., thus restoring to silver 
full legal-tender power the same as gold. This 
bill passed the house May 24 by a vote of 114 
to 97. It went to the senate but was never 
acted upon. 

June 9, 1879, an act was passed raising the 
limit of legal tender for subsidiary silver 
coins to $10, and also providing for their re- 
demption in full legal tender money. 

June 17, 1879, Mr. Vest of Missouri offered the 
following in the senate: "Resolved, That the 
complete remonetization of silver, its full 
restoration as a money metal, and its free 
coinage by the mints of the United States are 
demanded alike by the dictates of justice and 
wise statesmanship." This resolution was re- 
ferred to the senate committee on finance by 
a vote of 23 to 22 and was not again heard of. 

In the Forty-ninth congress a proviso was 
attached to the sundry civil appropriation bill 
authorizing the issue of one, two and five dol- 
lar silver certificates. This provision has op- 
erated to remove, in a measure, the objections 
to silver where large sums are required in 
small denominations, as in pay-rolls on rail- 
roads and other like operations. 

ACTION OF THE FIFTY-FIRST CONGRESS. 

On the 20th of January, 1890, Mr. Conger of 
Iowa introduced a bill into the house which 
was formulated by the treasury department. 
It was referred to the committee on coinage, 
weights and measures and on the 26th of 
March was reported back to the house. The 
bill as reported to the house was as follows 
(No. 5381): 

Be it enacted by the senate and house of 
representatives of the United States of Amer- 
ica in congress assembled, That any owner of 
silver bullion, the product of the mines of the 
United States or of ores smelted or refined in 
the United States, may deposit the same at 
any coinage-mint or at any assay office in the 
United States that the secretary of the treas- 
ury may designate, and receive therefor treas- 
ury notes hereinafter provided for, equal at 
the date of deposit to the net value of such 
silver, at the market price; such price to be 
determined by the secretary of the treasury 
under rules and regulations prescribed, based 
upon the price current in the leading silver 
markets of the world, but no deposit consist- 
ing in whole or in part of silver bullion or 
foreign silver coins imported into this country, 
or bars resulting from melted or refined for- 
eign silver coins, shall be received under the 
provisions of this act. 

Sec. 2. That the secretary of the treasury 
shall cause to be prepared treasury notes in 
such amounts as may be required for the pur- 
pose of the above section, and in such form 
and denominations as he may prescribe: Pro- 
vided, That no note shall be of a denomination 
less than one dollar nor more than one thou- 
sand dollars. 

Sec. 3. That the notes issued under this act 
shall be receivable for customs, taxes, and all 
public dues, and when received into the treas- 
ury may be reissued, and such notes, when 
held by any national banking association, shall 
be counted as part of its lawful reserve. 

Sec. 4. That the notes issued under the pro- 
visions of this act shall be redeemed upon de- , 
mand at the treasury of the United States or 
at the office of an assistant treasury of the 
United States, by the issue of a certificate of ' 



deposit for the sum of the notes so presented, 
payable at one of the mints of tne United 
States, in an amount of silver bullion equal in 
value on the date of said certificate to the 
number of dollars stated therein, at the mar- 
ket price of silver, to be determined as pro- 
vided in section 1; or such notes may be re- 
deemed in gold coin, at the option of the gov- 
ernment: Provided. That upon demand of the 
holder such notes shall be redeemed In silver 
dollars. 

Sec. 5. That when the market price of silver, 
as determined by the secretary of the treasury, 
shall exceed one dollar for 371.25 grains of pure 
silver, it shall be the duty of the secretary of 
the treasury to refuse to receive deposits of 
silver bullion for the purposes of this act: Pro- 
vided, That when the market price of silver, 
as determined in accordance with section 1 of 
this act, is one dollar for 371.25 grains of pure 
silver, it shall be lawful for the owner or any 
silver bullion, the deposit of which for notes is 
herein provided for, to deposit the same at any 
coinage-mint of the United States.to be formed 
into standard silver dollars for his benefit, as 
provided in the act of January 18, 1837. 

Sec. 6 That the silver bullion deposited un- 
der this act, represented by treasury notes 
which have been redeemed in gold coin or in 
silver dollars, may be coined into standard 
silver dollars or any other denomination of 
silver coin now authorized by law, for the pur- 
pose of replacing the coin used in the redemp- 
tion of the notes. 

Sec. 7. That so much of the act of February 
28, 1878, entitled "An act to authorize the coin- 
age of the standard silver dollar and to re- 
store its legal-tender character," as requires 
the monthly purchase and coinage into silver 
dollars of not less than two million dollars nor 
more than four million dollars' worth of silver 
bullion, is hereby repealed. 

Sec. 8. That any gain or seigniorage arising 
from the coinage which may be executed 
under the provisions of this act shall be ac- 
counted for and paid into the treasury as pro- 
Sec. 9. That silver bullion received under 
the provisions of this act shall be subject to 
the requirements of existing law, and the 
regulations of the mint service, governing 
the methods of receipt, determining the 
amount of pure silver contained, and the 
amount of charges or deductions, if any, to be 
made. 

Sec. 10. That it shall be the duty of the col- 
lectors of customs of the United States to 
stamp with a steel stamp on every bar of sil- 
ver bullion imported into the United States 
the word "foreign." It shall be the duty of 
every assayer or refiner in the United States, 
or any other person or firm, who may receive 
bars of silver stamped "foreign," in case such 
bars are remelted or refined, to stamp with a 
steel stamp the resulting bars "foreign." In 
case bars of silver stamped "foreign" are re- 
melted or refined with other silver products 
of the United States in such a way that it is 
not possible to separate in the resulting bars 
the exact product of such foreign silver, it 
shall be the d aty of such assayer or refiner, or 
other person or firm, to stamp with a steel 
stamp on an amount of silver bars which shall 
be equivalent to the amount of foreign silver 
melted or refined the word "foreign." It shall 
be the duty of every assayer or refiner in the 
United States, or fany other person or firm, 
who may receive coins of silver of the,coinage 
of countries other than the United States, in 
case such coins are remelted or refined, to 
stamp with a steel stamp the resulting bars 
"foreign." In case foreign silver coins are re- 
melted or refined with other silver products 
of the United States in such a way that it is 
not possible to separate in the resulting bars

the exact product of such foreign silver coins, 
it shall be the duty of such assayer or refiner, 
or other person or firm, to stamp with a steel 
stamp on an amount of silver bars which shall 
be equivalent to the amount of foreign silver 
coins melted or refined the word "foreign." 
Every person who fails to stamp bars result- 
ing from the remelting or refining of foreign 
silver bullion or foreign silver coins with the 
word "foreign," and every person who falsely 
removes this stamp or who by any art, way or 
means mutilates the stamp for the purpose of 
preventing identification of the bars, shall be 
punished by a fine of not less than $100 nor 
more than $1,000 for each bar: Provided, That 
nothing in this section shall be held to apply 
to silver products extracted by the processes 
of smelting, amalgamation, and lixiviation or 
any other metallurgical process, in the United 
States, from ores imported from foreign coun- 
tries. 

Sec. 11. That nothing in this act shall be con- 
strued to prevent the purchase, from time to 
time, as may be required, of silver bullion for 
the subsidiary silver coinage, not to affect the 
legal-tender quality of the standard silver 
dollar. 

Sec. 12. That a sum sufficient to carry out the 
provisions of this act is hereby appropriated, 
out of any money in the treasury not other- 
wise appropriated. 

Sec. 13. That all acts and parts of acts incon- 
sistent with the provisions of this act are here- 
by repealed. 

Sec. 14. That this act shall take effect thirty 
days from and after its passage. 

A minority report was made, signed by Mr. 
Bland and Mr. Williams, recommending free 
coinage as proposed in the following bill: 

Be it enacted by the senate and house of 
representatives of the United States of Amer- 
ica in congress assembled, That from and after 
the passage of this act all holders of silver 
bullion of the value of $50 or more, standard 
fineness, shall be entitled to have the same 
coined in standard silver dollars of 412^grains 
troy of standard silver to the dollar, upon like 
terms and conditions as gold is now coined for 
private holders; that the standard silver dol- 
lar heretofore coined and herein provided for 
shall be the unit of account and standard of 
value in like manner as now provided for the 
gold dollar, and shall be a legal tender for all 
debts, public and private, except where other- 
wise stipulated. 

Sec. 2. That so much of the provisions of the 
act of February 28, 1878, entitled "An act to 
authorize the coinage of the standard silver 
dollar and restore its legal-tender character," 
as provides for issuing certificates on the de- 
posit of silver dollars, shall be applicable to 
the coin herein named; and so much of the 
said act of February 28, 1878, as provides for 
the purchase of silver bullion to be coined 
monthly into standard silver dollars, be t and 
the same is, hereby repealed. 

Sec. 3. That the secretary of the treasury is 
hereby authorized to adopt such rules and 
regulations as may be necessary to enforce 
the provisions of this act. 

On the 25th of February, Mr. Jones of Ne- 
\iiicla reported from the finance committee to 
the senate the following as a substitute for 
other bills before the committee: 

Be it enacted, etc., That the secretary of the 
treasury is hereby directed to purchase from 
time to time silver bullion to the aggregate 
amount of $4,500,000 worth in each month, at 
the market price thereof, not exceeding one 
dollar for 371.25 grains of pure silver, and also 
to purchase such gold bullion as may be of- 
fered at the treasury or any subtreasury of 
the United States at a price not exceeding one 
dollar for 23.22 grains of pure gold, and to 
issue in payment for such purchases of silver 



and.. 

by the secretary of the treasury, in such" form 
and of such denominations, not less than one 
dollar nor more than one thousand dollars, as 
he may prescribe, and a sum sufficient to carry 
into effect the provisions of this act is hereby 
appropriated out of any money in the treasury 
not otherwise appropriated. 

Sec. 2. That the treasury notes issued in 
accordance with the provisions of this act 
shall be redeemable on demand, in lawful 
money of the United States, at the treasury of 
the United States, or at the office of any as- 
sistant treasurer of the United States, and 
when so redeemed shall be canceled; and 
such treasury notes shall be receivable for 
customs, taxes and all public dues, and when 
so received may be reissued: and such notes 
when held by any national banking associa- 
tion, may be counted as a part of its lawful 



Sec. 3. That the secretary of the treasury 
shall coin such portion of the gold or silver 
bullion purchased under the provisions of 
this act as may be neceesary to provide for 
the redemption of the treasury notes herein 
provided for,and any gain or seigniorage aris- 
ing from such coinage shall be accounted for 
and paid into the treasury. 

Sec. 4. That the gold and silver bullion pur- 
chased under the provisions of this act shall 
be subject to the requirements of existing 
law and the regulations of the mint service, 
governing the methods of determining the 
amount of pure gold or pure silver contained, 
and the amount of charges or deductions, if 
any, to be made. 

Sec. 6. That so much of the act of Feb. 28, 
1878, entitled "An act to authorize the coinage 
of the standard silver dollar and to restore its 
legal-tender character," as requires the month- 
ly purchase and coinage of the same into sil- 
ver dollars of not less than $2,000,000 nor more 
than $4,000,000 worth of silver bullion, is hereby 
repealed. 

Sec. 6. That this act shall take effect thirty 
days from and after its passage. 

Meanwhile petitions from many parts of the 
country asking for the free coinage of silver 
were presented in both houses. 

The bills as presented by their respective 
committees to the house and senate contained 
provisions differing widely, which, from a 
partisan standpoint, it was important to har- 
monize. The differences were made the sub- 
ject of a joint caucus by the republicans of the 
two houses. The disagreement was princi- 
pally over the bullion redemption feature of 
the house bill, and on this point no agreement 
was reached, as certain of the western sena- 
tors, led by Senator Teller, refused to assent 
to this provision of the treasury scheme. 

The provisions agreed upon, however, by a 
majority of those attending the caucus were 
incorporated in a new bill which was intro- 
duced in the house by Mr. Conger, April 24, 
and referred to the committee on coinage, 
weights and measures. The bill was there 
amended so as to make the purchase $4,500,000 
worth instead of 4,500,000 ounces, as in the first 
caucus bill, and making notes issued therefor 
redeemable in "coin" instead of "lawful 
money." The bill as amended was offered in 
the house by Mr. Conger, June 5th, as a sub- 
stitute for the original committee bill, which 
had been previously reported to the house. 
It was debated until the 7th. It passed the 
house by a vote of 135 to 119. The 135 yeas 
were all republicans and the 119 nays con- 
tained 112 democrats and 7 republicans. 

The bill as it passed the house contained 
two important features the bullion redemp- 
tion clause and the section providing for free 
coinage when silver reached parity with gold 
on our ratio, or $1.29 an ounce. The bill went

to the senate June 9th, and on motion of Mr. 
Teller was ordered to be printed and He on 
the table. On the following day it was, on 
motion of Mr. Morrill, referred to the com- 
mittee on finance. It was reported back to 
the senate by Mr. MorrillJune llth with sun- 
dry amendments, and with notice that he 
would at the proper time offer it as a substi- 
tute for the bill then pending in the senate. 
It was ably discussed on both sides till June 
17th, when it was put upon its passage and 
passed on that day by a vote of 42 to 25. The 
bill as it passed the senate was as perfect a 
free coinage measure as could be desired. The 
first section restored the unit to both metals, 
as in the act of 1792, made the coinage of both 
metals free and made silver as well as gold 
full legal tender for all purposes. It also 
made all certificates issued on either gold or 
silver, legal tender for all debts, public and 
private. Thus the bill went back to the house 
with the substitution of free coinage in lieu of 
the purchase of four and a half millions 
worth of silver a month, with bullion redemp- 
tion. 

THE SENATE BILL IN THE HOUSE. 

This bill which passed the senate as a sub- 
stitute for house bill No. 5381, came back to 
the house June 18th and was referred to the 
committee on coinage, weights and measures. 
This reference of the bill by the speaker was 
called in question by Mr. Mills of Texas, who 
on the next day objected to the approval of 
the journal of the house which contained the 
reference of the bill. The point was that the 
bill should come before the house without a 
reference to a committee. The house voted 
to correct the journal by a vote of 132 to 130. 
The speaker ruled that the bill had been 
properly referred to the committee and was 
with that committee. In the long wrangle 
over this matter free coinage which had 
passed the senate failed to pass the house. 
The bill came up again in the house June 24th. 
After being debated, Mr. Bland moved that 
the senate amendments be concurred in which 
was lost by a vote of 135 to 152. Thus free 
coinage which passed the senate by a vote of 
seventeen was lost in the house by exactly the 
same vote. 

THE PRESENT LAW. 

June 28, 1890, the senate was notified that the 
house had disagreed to the senate amend- 
ments to bill 5381. and asked for a committee 
of conference. The request was granted and 
a committee consisting of Messrs. Conger, 
Walker and Bland on the part of the bouse, 
and Messrs. Sherman, Jones and Harris on 
the part of the senate was appointed. The 
committee made its report which was agreed 
to by the senate July 10, by a yote of 39 to 2fi, 
and by the house July 11, by a vote of 122 to 90. 
The vote was a strict party one, all the affirm- 
ative votes in the house being republicans, 
and all the negative votes being democrats. 
The following is the law as passed, which 

ent into effect July 14, 1890: 

PURCHASE OF BULLION. 

An act directing the purchase of silver bul- 
lion and the issue of treasury notes thereon, 
and for other purposes: 

Be it enacted by the senate and house of 
representatives of the United States of Amer- 
ica in congress assembled, That the secretary 
of the treasury is hereby directed to purchase, 
from time to time, silver bullion to the aggre- 
gate amount of four million five hundred 
thousand ounces, or so much thereof as may 
be offered in each month, at the market price 
thereof, not exceeding one dollar for three 
hundred and seventy-one and twenty-five 
hundreths grains of pure silver, and to "issue 
in payment for such purchases of silver bull- 



ion treasury notes of the United States to be 
prepared by the secretary of the treasury, in 
such form and of such denominations, not 
less than one dollar nor more than one thous- 
and dollars, as he may prescribe, and a sum 
sufficient to carry into effect the provisions of 
this act is hereby appropriated out of any 
nK>ney in the treasury not otherwise appro- 
priated. 

Sec. 2. That the treasury notes issued in ac- 
cordance with the provisions of this act shall 
be redeemable on demand, in coin, at the 
treasury of the United States, or at the office 
of any assistant treasurer of the United 
States, and when so redeemed may be re- 
Issued, but no greater or less amount of such 
notes shall be outstanding at any time than 
the cost of the silver bullion and the stand- 
ard silver dollars coined therefrom, then held 
in the treasury purchased by such notes; and 
such treasury notes shall be a legal tender 
in payment of all debts, public and private, 
except where otherwise expressly stipulated 
in the contract, and shall be receivable for 
customs, taxes, and all public dues, and when 
so received may be reissued; and such notes, 
when held by any national banking associa- 
tion, may be counted as a part of its lawful 
reserve. That upon demand of the holder of 
any of the treasury notes herein provided for 
the secretary of the treasury shall, under 
such regulations as he may prescribe, redeem 
such notes in gold or silver coin, at his dis- 
cretion, it being the established policy of the 
United States to maintain the two metals on 
a parity with each other upon the present 
legal ratio, or such ratio as may be provided 
by law. 

Sec. 3. That the secretary of the treasury 
shall each month coin two million ounces of 
the silver bullion purchased under the pro- 
visions of this act into standard silver dollars 
until July 1, 1891, and after that time he shall 
coin of the silver bullion purchased under the 
provisions of this act as much as may be 
necessary to provide for the redemption of 
the treasury notes herein provided for, and 
any gain or seigniorage arising from such 
coinage shall be accounted for and paid into 
the treasury. 

Sec. 4. That the silver bullion purchased 
under the provisions of this act shall be sub- 
ject to the requirements of existing law and 
the regulations of the mint service govern- 
ing the methods of determining the amount 
of pure silver contained and the amount of 
charges or deductions, if any, to be made. 

Sec. 5. That so much of the act of February 
28, 1878, entitled "An act to authorize the 
coinage of the standard silver dollar and to 
restore its legal tender character," as requires 
the monthly purchase and coinage of the 
same into silver dollars of not less than $2,000,- 
000, nor more than $4,000,000 worth of silver 
bullion, is hereby repealed. 

Sec. 6. That upon the passage of this act the 
balances standing with the treasurer of the 
United States to the respective credits of nat- 
ional banks for deposits made to redeem the 
circulating notes of such banks, and all de- 
posits thereafter received for like purpose, 
shall be covered into the treasury as a miscel- 
laneous receipt, and the treasury of the United 
States shall redeem from the general oash in 
the treasury the circulating notes of said 
banks which may come into his possession 
subject to redemption; and upon the certifi- 
cate of the comptroller of the currency that 
such notes have been received by him and 
that they have been destroyed and that no 
new notes will be issued in their place, re- 
imbursement of their amount shall be made 
to the treasurer, under such regulations as 
the secretary of treasury may prescribe, from 
an appropriation hereby created, to be known 



CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC FOR 1892. 



as national bank notes: redemption account, 
but the provisions of this act shall not apply 
to the deposits received under section 3, of 
the act of June 30, 1874, requiring every nat- 
ional bank to keep in lawful money with the 
treasurer of the United States a sum equal to 
five per centum of its circulation, to be held 
and used for the redemption of its circulating 
notes; and the balance remaining of the de- 
posits so covered shall, at the close of each 



month, be reported on the monthly public 
debt statement as debt of the United States 
bearing no interest. 

Sec. f. That this act shall take effect thirty 
days from and after its passage. (Approved 
July 14, 1890.) 

This law is in the nature of a compromise, 
and as it is not satisfactory to either side it is 
more than probable that the end of the silver 
controversy is not yet,

THE NEW ORLEANS MASSACRE. 

History of the affair and the diplomatic correspondence following it. Prepared by William E. 
Curtis of the State Department. 



On the night of October 15, 1890, David C. 
Hennessey, chief of police in the City of New 
Orleans. La., was murdered in the street of 
that city. On the 13th of December fol- 
lowing, Antonio Scaffldi, Antonio Bagnetto, 
Antonio Marchesi. Pietro Monastero, Charles 
Traina, Manuel Politz, and Loretto Comitz 
were indicted as principals and James Caruso, 
Roco Gerachi, Frank Romero, and Joseph P/ 
Macheca as accessories before the fact. About 
the middle of February 1891 they were ar- 
raigned for trial. Nine of them were tried 
separately. On the 13th of March Bagnetto, 
Marchesi, and Macheca were found not guilty 
and in the cases of Scaffidi, Politz, and Monas- 
tero the jury failed to agree. The verdict was 
universally condemned in New Orleans as un- 
just and a meeting was called to be held at 
10:30 o'clock a, m. on the 15th of March to take 
into consideration the vindication of the law. 
At the appointed hour a large crowd assembled 
and proceeded to the parish prison where 
the accused were confined and, forcing an 
entrance, shot them to death. 

Eleven were killed in all and besides those 
named above, who had been tried, were James 
Caruso, Loretto Comitz, Frank Romero and 
Raco Gerachi who were awaiting trial. 

On the 4th of December the secretary of 
state requested the attorney general to ascer- 
tain whether the persons indicted for the Hen- 
nessey murder were citizens of Italy or the 
United States. On the 20th of that month the 
U. S. District Attorney at New Orleans re- 
ported that of the persons indicted the fol- 
lowing were naturalized citizens of the United 
States: Antonio Bagnetto, John Caruso. 
James Caruso, Charles Matrauga, Antonio 



Marchesi, Antonio Scaffidi, Charles Pietzo, 
Joseph Macheca, Charles Potorno, Frank Ro- 
mero, and that Salvador Coscenso was regis- 
tered as a voter although there was no record 
of his naturalization. The following did not 
appear to have been naturalized: Asperl 
Marchese, Manuel Politz, Charles Trahani, 
Loretto Scovotis. Pietro Monastario. Pedro 
Martelli, Bastian Incardino, Salvator Sincen. 
Rocco Grachi. 

On the 15th of March 1891, Baron Fava the 
Italian minister at Washington informed Mr. 
Blaine that eleven of the prisoners had been 
murdered by a mob, and submitted a dispatch 
from the Marquis de Rudini, Italian minister 
of foreign affairs at Kome, demanding in the 
name of justice and civilization that the fed- 
eral administration interfere for the protection 
of the living prisoners, and the other members 
of the Italian colony in New Orleans. He de- 
manded also that the mob, and those who in- 
spired it be speedily brought to justice. 

Mr. Blaine at once telegraphed the governor 
of Louisiana deploring the massacre, express- 
ing the hope of the president that the subjects 
of a friendly power be furnished adequate 
protection, and that the leaders of the mob be 
promptly brought to justice. A telegram was 
at the same time sent to the United States 
minister to Rome instructing him to convey to 
the Italian government the profound horror 
and regret of the president and to assure it 
that every possible effort would be made to 
protect its subjects. 

Several dispatches of a similar character 
passed between Washington and Rome on the 
following date. 

Governor Nichols on the 16th of March in- 



CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC FOR 1892. 



formed the secretary of state that there was 
no reason to apprehend further trouble, and 
that the action of the mob was directed 
against individuals and not against their race 
or nationality. Copies of the correspondence 
were telegraphed to Home. 

On the 18th of March Baron Fava handed 
the secretary of state a long statement of the 
massacre and the incidents that preceded it, 
and complained that the local authorities at 
New Orleans had been guilty of neglect of 
their duty. He also submitted a cablegram 
from the Marquis de Rudini directing him to 
apply for indemnity, as a declaration of re- 
gret on the part of the United States could not 
be accepted as reparation. 

On the 21st of March Baron Fava repeated 
the demand and submitted a cablegram from 
Rudini insisting upon an official assurance 
from the government of the United States 
that the persons guilty of the massacre had 
been brought to justice. He also insisted upon 
immediate indemnity. On the same date Mr. 
Blaine called upon Baron Fava for the names, 
and condition of Italian subjects murdered in 
New Orleans. 

On the 24th of March Baron Fava handed 
Mr. Blaine a cablegram from Rudini insisting 
that the demand of the Italian government 
for the punishment of the mob, and indem- 
nity for their victim s must be complied with 
or he would be under the painful necessity of 
recalling the Italian minister from a country 
where he is unable to obtain justice. On the 
following day Rudini telegraphed: " I cannot 
admit further delay." On the same day Baron 
Fava submitted a statement from the consul 
at New Orleans showing that three of the per- 
sons murdered were citizens of Italy, and that 
six had only declared their intention to be 
naturalized. On the 26th of March Baron 
Fava sent a note to Mr. Blaine by his secre- 
tary requesting an immediate answer to the 
demand of Rudini. In the meantime Mr. 
Blaine instructed the United States minister 
at Rome to explain to the Italian government 
the dual character of the government of the 
United States and the necessity of a thorough 
investigation of the circumstances of the mas- 
sacre before a proper answer could be made 
to the demands of the Marquis de Rudini. 

On the 31st of March Baron Fava again 
called the attention of Mr. Blaine to the de- 
mands of the Italian government, and in- 
sisted upon the assurance (1) that the guilty 
parties should be punished, and (2) that the 
principle that indemnity was due to the fam- 
ilies of the victims should be recognized by 
the United States. As the secretary of state 
had in an Interview declined to give this as- 
surance, Baron Fava announced his with- 
drawal from Washington under the instruc- 
tion of his government. On the following day 
Mr. Blaine replied to this communication, ex- 
pressing regret at the departure of Baron 
Fava for which he was unable to see " ade- 
quate reasons," and continuing as follows: 

" The cause of sundering his diplomatic re- 
lations with this government " said Mr. 
Blaine "Is thus given in his note: 

" ' The reparation demanded by the govern- 
ment of the king, as I have had the honor to 
inform you in our interviews held during the 
last few days, was to consist of the following 
points: ' 

"'(l)The official assurance by the federal 
government that the guilty parties should be 
brought to justice.' 

" ' (2) The recognition, in principle, that an 
indemnity is due to the relatives of the vic- 
tims.' 

" The first demand thus stated by Baron 
Fava is slightly changed in phrase from that 
employed by him in his many verbal requests 
based on a telegram from the Marquis Rudini 



which he left with me. The Marquis Rudini 
declared that 'Italy's right to demand and to 
obtain the punishment of the murderers and 
an indemnity for the victims is unquestion- 
able.' It is inferred that Baron Fava's 
change of phrase meant no change of de- 
mand. 

" I have endeavored to impress upon him, 
in the several personal interviews with which 
he has honored me, that the government of 
the United States is utterly unable to give the 
assurance which the Marquis Rudini has de- 
manded. Even if the national government 
had the entire jurisdiction over the alleged 
murderers, it could not give assurance to any 
foreign power that they should be punished. 
The president is unable to see how any gov- 
ernment could justly give an assurance of 
this character in advance of investigation or 
trial. 

" In the constitution of the United States it 
is declared that: In all criminal prosecutions 
the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy 
and public trial by an impartial jury of the 
state and district wherein the crime shall 
have been committed. 

" It needs no argument to prove that a jury 
could not be impartial if it were in any sense, 
or to any degree, bound, before the trial of 
the accused, by an assurance which the presi- 
dent of the United States had ventured to 
give to a foreign power. 

" In the constitution of the state of Louisi- 
ana, under whose immediate jurisdiction the 
crimes were committed, substantially the 
same provision is found; so that the governor 
of that state would be as unable to give a 
pledge in advance for the result of a trial un- 
der state law as the president wouid be were 
it practicable to try the leaders of the mob 
under the laws of the United States. 

" In Baron Fava's second point he demands 
the recognition, in principle, that an indem- 
nity is due to the relatives of the victims. He 
is assuredly under a grave error when he de- 
clares that the United States government de- 
clined to take this demand into consideration, 
and I shall regret if he has communicated 
such a conclusion to your government. The 
United States, so far from refusing, has dis- 
tinctly recognized the principle of indemnity 
to those Italian subjects who may have been 
wronged by a violation of the rights secured 
to them under the treaty with the United 
States concluded February 26, 1871. 

"I have repeatedly given to Baron Fava 
the assurance that, under the direction of the 
president, all the incidents connected with 
the unhappy tragedy at New Orleans on the 
14th of March last should be most thoroughly 
investigated. I have also informed him that 
in a matter of such gravity the government of 
the United States would not permit itself to be 
unduly hurried; nor will it make answer to 
any demand until every fact essential to a 
correct judgment shall have been fully ascer- 
tained through legal authority. The impa- 
tience of the aggrieved may be natural, but 
its indulgence does not always secure the 
most substantial justice. 

'Accept, etc., JAMES G. BLAIXE." 

Under date of April 1, Mr. Porter the United 
States minister at Rome informed the depart- 
ment of state that while the Italian govern- 
ment understood the division between the 
federal and state jurisdictions in criminal cases 
under the constitution of the United States, 
the ministry was not satisfied that the federal 
authority was making as strenuous efforts to 
bring the murderers to justice as the circum- 
stances required; that parliament was to 
meet on the 14th: and that being a coalition 
ministry it dreaded criticism for lack of vigor, 
wanted to be armed by some assurance from 
President Harrison that the perpetrators of 



THE NEW ORLEANS MASSACRE.

the crime would certainly be brought to justice. 

On the following day the Marquis Imperial!, 
first secretary of the Italian legation lur- 
nished Mr.Blaine with a copy of a dispatch 
from Rudini, saying: 

"The government of the king of Italy has 
asked nothing beyond the prompt institution 
of judicial proceedings through the regular 
channels. It would have been absurd to 
claim the punishment of the guilty parties 
without the warrant of a regular judgment. 
The Italian government now repeats the same 
demand. Not until the federal government 
shall have explicitly declared that the fore- 
said proceedings shall be promptly begun can 
the diplomatic incident be considered as 
closed. Meanwhile his majesty's government 
takes note of the declaration whereby the 
federal government recognizes that an in- 
demnity i3 due to the families of the victims 
in virtue of the treaty in force between the 
two countries." 

To this Mr. Elaine replied: "This govern- 
ment certainly had no desire whatever to 
change the meaning of the Marquis Rudini's 
telegram of March 24. It was delivered at 
the state department by Baron Fava in per- 
son, written in his own hand, and expressed in 
the English language. The following is the 
full text of the telegram: 

"ROME, March 24, 1891. Italian Minister, 
Washington: Our requests to the federal gov- 
ernment are very simple. Some Italian sub- 
jects, acquitted by the American magistrates, 
have been murdered in prison while under the 
immediate protection of the authorities. Our 
rirjht, therefore, to demand and obtain the pun- 
ixhment of the murderers and an indemnity 
for the victims is unquestionable. I wish to add 
that the public opinion in Italy is justly impa- 
tient, and, if concrete provisions were not at 
once taken, I should find myself in the painful 
necessity of showing openly our dissatisfac- 
tion by recalling the minister of his majesty 
from a country where he is unable to obtain 
justice. [Signed] RUDINI.' 

"The words underscored are precisely those 
which I quoted In my former note; and 1 am 
directed by the president to express the satis- 
faction of this goverement with the very ma- 
terial qualification of the demand made by 
the Marquis Rudini on behalf of the Italian 
government. 

"You quote in your note another part of the 
Marquis Rudini's telegram of April 2 in these 
words: 

'"Meanwhile his majesty 'sgovernment takes 
note of the declaration whereby the federal 
government recognizes that an indemnity is 
due to the families of the victims in virtue of 
the treaty fa. force between the two countries.' 

"If the Marquis Rudini will carefully exam- 
ine my note of April 1 he will discover that I 
did not 'recognize that an'indemnity is due to 
the families of the victims in virtue of the 
treaty in force between the two countries.' 
What I did say was in answer to Baron Fava's 
assertion that the United States government 
refused to take this demand for indemnity 
into consideration. I quote my reply: 'The 
United States, so far from refusing, has dis- 
tinctly recognized the principle of indemnity 
to those Italian subjects who may have been 
wronged by a violation of the rights secured, to 
them under the treaty with the United States 
concluded February 26, lv:i.' 

''The Marquis Rudini maybe assured that 
the United States would recompense every 
Italian subject who might 'be wronged by the 
violation of a treaty' to which the faith of the 
United States is pledged. But this assurance 
leaves unsettled the important question 
whether the treaty has been violated. Upon 
this point the president, with sufficient facts 
placed before him, has taken full time for de- 



cision. He now directs that certain consider- 
ations on the general subject be submitted to 
the judgment of the Italian government. 

"As a precedent of great value to the case 
under discussion, the president recalls the 
conclusion maintained by Mr. Webster in 1851, 
when he was secretary of state under Presi- 
dent Fillmore. In August of that year a mob 
in New Orleans demolished the building in 
which the office of the Spanish consul was lo- 
cated, and at the same time attacks were made 
upon coffee-houses and cigar shops kept by 
Spanish subjects. American citizens were in- 
volved in the losses, which, in the aggregate, 
were large. The supposed cause of the mob 
was the intelligence of the execution of fifty 
young Americans in Havana and the banish- 
ment to Spanish mines of nearly two Hundred 
citizens of the United States. The victims 
were all members of the abortive Lopez ex- 
pedition. 

"In consequence of these depredations of 
the mob upon the property of the Spanish 
consul, as well as against the Spanish sub- 
jects, Don Caideron de la Barca, the minister 
of Spain, demanded indemnification for all 
the losses, botlrbfficial and personal. 

"Mr. Webster admitted that the Spanish 
consul was entitled to Indemnity, and assured 
the Spanish minister that if the injured con- 
sul, Mr. Laborde, shall return to his post, or 
any other consul for New Orleans shall be ap- 
pointed by her catholic majesty's govern- 
ment, the officers of this government resident 
in that city will be instructed to receive and 
treat him with courtesy and with a national 
salute to the flag of his ship, if he shall arrive 
in a Spanish vessel as a demonstration of re- 
spect, such as may signify to him and to his 
government the sense entertained by the gov- 
ernment of the United States of the gross in- 
justice done to his predecessor by a lawless 
mob, as well as the indignity and insult offered 
by it to a foreign state with which the United 
States are, and wish ever to remain, on terms 
of the most respectful and pacific intercourse. 

"But when pressed bv the Spanish minister 
to afford indemnity to Spanish subjects in- 
jured by the mob in common with American 
citizens, Mr. Webster declined to accede to 
the demand and gave his reasons as follows: 
'This government supposes that the rights of 
the Spanish consul, a public officer residing 
here under the protection of the United States 
government, are quite different from those of 
the Spanish subjects who have come into the 
country to mingle with our own citizens and 
here to pursue their private business and ob- 
jects. The former may claim special in- 
demnity; the latter are entitled to such pro- 
tection as is afforded to our own citizens. 
While, therefore, the losses of individuals, 
private Spanish subjects, are greatly to be re- 
gretted, yet it is understood that many Ameri- 
can citizens suffered equal losses from the 
same cause; and these private individuals, 
subjects of her catholic majesty, coming vol- 
untarily to reside in the United States, have 
certainly no cause of complaint if they are 
protected by the same laws and the same ad- 
ministration of law as native-born citizens of 
this country. They have, in fact, some ad- 
vantages over citizens of the state in which 
they happen to be, inasmuch as they are ena- 
bled, until they become citizens themselves, 
to prosecute for any Injuries done to their 
persons or property in the courts of the United 
States or the state courts, at their election.' 

"It is proper, however, to add that two years 
after Mr. Webster wrote ttie foregoing note to 
congress, in recognition of certain magnani- 
mous conduct on the part of the queen of 
Spain in pardons bestowed on Americans who 
had unjustifiably invaded the island of Cuba, 
enacted a joint resolution, approved by Presi- 



CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC FOR 1892. 



dent Fillmore March 3, 1853, the last day of his 
term, indemnifying the Spanish consul and 
other Spanish subjects, for the losses sus- 
tained in the New Orleans mob of 1851. The 
considerations upon which this resolution 
was passe 1 were held not to contravene the 
original position of Mr. Webster, shared also 
by President Fillmore. 

"The right to judicial remedy which Mr. 
Webster assured to the Spanish subjects is 



likewise assured to the Italian subjects. The 

pecially guaranteed in thi 
section of the third article of the constitution. 



right Is si 



And, as Mr. Webster points out, the resident 
alien has a privilege which is denied to the 
citizen. The widows and children of the citi- 
zens who lost their lives by mob violence may 
sue the leaders and members of the mob only 
in the courts of the state of Louisiana, while 
the widows and children of the Italian sub- 
jects who suffered death have the right to sue 
each member of the mob, not only in the state 
courts, but also before the federal tribunals 
for the district of Louisiana. 

"Provision is made in the revised civil code 
of Louisiana for redress of such grievances 
as the widows and children of the victims of 
the mob may plead. 1 quote: 

" 'ARTICLE 2314. Every act whatever of man 
that causes damage to another obliges him 
by whose fault it happened to repair it. The 
right of this action shall survive, in case of 
death, in favor of the minor children and 
widow of the deceased, or either of them, and, 
in default of these, in favor of the surviving 
father or mother, or either of them, for the 
space of one year from the death.' 

"'ART. 231d. Every person is responsible for 
the damage he occasions, not merely by his 
act, but by his negligence, his imprudence or 
his want of skill.' 

'"ART. 2324. He who causes another person 
to do an unlawful act, or assists or encourages 
in the commission of it, is answerable in solido 
with that person for the damage caused by 
such act.' 

"The government of the United States 
would feel justified in resting on the argu- 
ment and conclusion of Mr. Webster if the 
mob of March 14, 1891, did not. in some of its 
characteristics, differ from the mob of 1851. 
But it is due to entire candor, due to this gov- 
ernment and due to the government of Italy 
to point out certain differences of which the 
government of the United States is honora- 
bly bound to take notice. In the case of the 
mob of 1851 Mr. Webster asserts that 'no per- 
sonal injury was offered to anyone;' that 'the 
police and other legal authorities did all that 
was possible to preserve the peace and arrest 
the rioters;' that 'the mob acted in the heat 
of blood and not in pursuance of any prede- 
termined plan or purpose of injury or insult;' 
that 'the mob was composed of irresponsible 
persons, the names of none of whom are 
known to the government of the United States, 
nor, so far as the government is informed, to 
its officers in New Orleans.' 

"As promptly as possible after the lamenta- 
ble occurrence at New Orleans the president 
directed the attorney-general to cause through 
his department a full inquiry to be made into 
all facts connected therewith, and solic- 
ited his opinion whether any criminal pro- 
ceedings would lie under the federal laws in 
the federal courts against persons charged 
with the killing of Italian subjects. He has 
not yet received the official report. If it be 
found that a prosecution can be maintained 
under the statutes of the United States, the 
case will be presented to the next grand jury 
according to the usual methods of criminal 
administration. But if it shall be found, as 
seems probable, that criminal proceedings 
can only be taken in the courts of Louisi-ma, 



the president can in this direction do no more 
than to urge upon the state officers the duty of 
promptly bringing the offenders to trial. This 
was done in his telegram to the governor of 
Louisiana as early as March 15. If it shall re- 
sult that the case can be prosecuted only in 
the state courts of Louisiana, and the usual 
judicial investigation and procedure under the 
criminal law is not resorted to, it will then be 
the duty of the United States to consider 
whether some other form of redress may be 
asked. It is understood that the state grand 
jury is now investigating the affair, and while 
it is possible that the jury may fail to present 
indictments, the United States cannot assume 
that such will be the case. 

"The United States did not by the treaty 
with Italy become the insurer of the lives or 
property of Italian subjects resident within 
our territory. No government is able, how- 
ever high its civilization, however vigilant its 
police supervision, however severe its crim- 
inal code, and however prompt and inflexible 
its criminal administration, to secure its own 
citizens against violence promoted by individ- 
ual malice or by sudden popular tumult. The 
foreign resident must be content in such cases 
to share the same redress that is offered by 
the law to the citizen; and has no just cause 
of complaint or right to ask the interposition 
of his country if the courts are equally open 
to him for the redress of his injuries. 

"The treaty, in the first, second, third, and, 
notably, in the twenty-third articles, clearly 
limits the rights guaranteed to the citizens of 
the contracting powers in the territory of each 
to equal treatment and to free access to the 
courts of justice. Foreign residents are not 
made a favored class. It is not believed that 
Italy would desire a more stringent construc- 
tion of her duty under the treaty. Where the 
injury inflicted upon a foreign resident is not 
the act of the government or of its officers, 
but of an individual or of a mob, it is believed 
that no claim for indemnity can justly be 
made, unless it shall be made to appear that 
the public authorities charged with the peace 
of the community have connived at the un- 
lawful act, or, having timely notice of the 
threatened danger, have been guilty of such 
gross negligence in taking the necessary pre- 
cautions as to amount to connivance. 

"If, therefore, it should appear that among 
those killed by the mob at New Orleans there 
were some Italian subjects who were resident 
or domiciled in that city, agreeably to our 
treaty with Italy and not in violation of our 
immigration laws, and who were abiding in the 

Eeace of the United States and obeying the 
iws thereof and of the state of Louisiana. 
and that the public officers charged with the 
duty of protecting life and property in that 
city connived at the work of the mob, or. upon 
proper notice or information of the threat- 
ened danger, failed to take any steps for the 
preservation of the public peace and after- 
ward to bring the guilty to trial, the presi- 
dent would, under such circumstances, feel 
that a case was established that should be 
submitted to the consideration of congress 
with a view to the relief of the families of the 
Italian subjects who had lost their lives by 
lawless violence. Accept, etc., 

"JAMs G. BLAINE " 

On the 28th of April the United States attor- 
ney at New Orleans, under instructions from 
the attorney general, submitted a lengthy re-

intention to become such. He also submitted 
evidence of the existence of a secret society 
organized for the purpose of crime; also a 
list of assassinations, ninety-four in number, 
which were alleged to have been committed 
by members of this society. 

On the 3d of May Marquis Rudini addressed 
the following to the Italian charge d' affaires 
at Washington, which was not transmitted to 
the secretary of state but was published in 
the newspapers: 

"I have now before me a note addressed to 
you by Secretary Blalne April 14. Its perusal 
produces a most painful impression upon me. 
I will not stop to lay stress upon the lack of 
conformity with diplomatic usages displayed 
in making use. as Mr. Blaine did not hesitate 
to do, of a portion of a telegram of mine com- 
municated to him in strict confidence, in order 
to get rid of a question clearly defined in our 
official documents, which alone possess a 
diplomatic value; nor will I stop to point out 
the reference in this telegram of mine of 
March 24 that the words 'punishment of the 
guilty' in the brevity of telegraphic language 
actually signified only that prosecution ought 
to be commenced in order that the individuals 
recognized as guilty should not escape pun- 
'shment. 

'Far above all astute arguments remains 
the fact that henceforth the federal govern- 
ment declares itself conscious of what we 
have constantly asked and yet it does not 
grant our legitimate demands. 

" Mr. Blaine is right when he makes the pay- 
ment of indemnity to the families of the vic- 
tims dependent upon proof of the violation of 
the treaty; but we shrink from thinking that 
tie considers that the fact of such violation 
still needs proof. Italian subjects acquitted 
by American juries were massacred in prisons 
of the state without measures being taken to 
defend them. 

What other proof does the federal gov- 
ernment expect of a violation of a treaty 
wherein constant protection and security of 
subjects of the contracting parties is expressly 
stipulated? 

" We have placed on evidence that we have 
never asked anything else but the opening of 
regular proceedings. In regard to this, Baron 
Java's first note, dated March 15, contained 
even the formula of the telegram addressed 
on the same day by Mr. Blaine. under the 
order of President Harrison, to the governor 
of Louisiana. Now. however, in the note of 
April 14 Mr. Blaine is silent on the subject 

American Telescopes. 

The twelve largest refracting telescopes are 
those of the Lick Observatory, with an apert- 
ure of 36 inches, Yale University, 28; United 
States Naval, 2f>; Leander McCorinick, 2>; 
Princeton, 23; Denver, 20; Smithsonian. 2J; 
Dearborn, 18.5; Carleton College. Ki.2: War- 
ner, 16; Washington, 15.5, and Harvard, 15. 
The largest reflecting telescopes are those of 
Harvard College. 28 inches, and the Rev. Dr. 
John Peate, 22. Dr. Peate, who is an amateur 
maker, has finished a 31!^ inch silver-on-glass 
mirror, which will be presented to the Alle- 
gheny college at Meadville. When mounted 
t will be the largest reflecting telescope in 
this country. There are numerous reflectors 
made by Brashear from nine to twelve inches 
n diameter. The Clarks have ground an ob- 
ject glass of forty inches for a telescope to be 
mounted in an observatory yet to be built on 
Mount Wilson, in Southern California. 
Though the Lick Observatory possesses the 
largest telescope at present. Harvard col- 
lege has the best equipped observatory for 
general astronomical work in America, and 
one of the best in the world. 



which is, for us, the main point of contro- 
versy. 

" We are under the sad necessity of con- 
cluding that what to every other government 
would be the accomplishment of simple duty 
is impossible to the federal government. It 
is time to break off the bootless controversy. 
Public opinion, the sovereign judge, will know 
how to indicate an equitable solution of this 
grave problem. 

" We have affirmed, and we again affirm, i 
our right. Let the federal government reflect 
upon its side if it is expedient to leave to the 
mercy of each state of the Union, irresponsi- j 
ble to foe<0n countries, the efficiency of 
treaties pledging its faith and honor to entire 
nations. 

" The present dispatch is addressed to you ] 
exclusively, not to the federal government. 

" Your dut'es henceforth are solely re- 
stricted to dealing with current business." 

On the day of the publication of the above 
document, Mr. Blaine called it to the atten- , 
tion of the American minister at Rome, and 
after quoting the first paragraph, said: 

" The intimation of the Marquis Rudini that 
the telegram in question was delivered in | 
strict confidence is a total error. As the tele- 
gram expressed the demand of the Italian i 
government, it was impossible that Marquis 1 
Rudini could transmit it in strict confidence. | 
As I have already stated, it was communi- 
cated to me in person by Baron Fava, written 
in English in his own handwriting, without a 
suggestion of privacy and the telegram itself 
has not a single mark upon it denoting a con- 
fidential character. I have caused a number 
of copies of the telegram to be forwarded to 
you to-day in facsimile. The usual mark for 
italic printing was used by me under four 
lines, and they appear in the copies. You 
will use the facsimiles in such manner as will 
most effectually prove the error into which 
the Marquis Rudini has fallen. BLAINE." 

This closed the correspondence between the 
United States and the Italian government. 

On the 19th of May the attorney-general of 
the United States forwarded to the secretary 
of state a copy of the report of the grand jury 
as to the murder of the prisoners in the par- 
ish jail, to which is appended the report of 
the committee of fifty citizens on the exist- j 
ence of secret societies in New Orleans, i 
Both these reports show with reasonable : 
conclusiveness that the jury that tried the pris- j 
oners had been tampered with by the friends 
of the prisoners and that the tria'l was a trav- 
esty on justice. 

Northern Explorations. 

The most northern point ever attained by 
man was reached by Lieut. James B. Lock- 
wood, a member of the American Lady Frank- 
lin Bay Expedition, who May 13, 1882, stood 
under 83:28:8 N. He was accompanied by 
Sergt. Brainard, who in his Held notes says: 
"We have reached a higher latitude than 
ever before reached by mortal man, and on a 
land farther north than was supposed by 
many to exist. We unfurled the glorious 
stars and stripes to the exhilarating northern , 
breezes with an exultation impossible to de- 
scribe." For three centuries England had held 
the honors of the farthest north. The follow- 
ing table shows the farthest points of north 
latitude reached by Arctic explorers:

The only authorized material standard of customary length is the Troughton scale belong- 
ing to this office, whose length at 59.62 deg. Fahr. conforms to the British standard. The yard 
in use in the United States is therefore equal to the British yard. 
The only authorized material standard of customary weight is the troy pound of the mint. 
It is of brass of unknown density, and therefore not suitable for a standard of mass. It was 
derived from the British standard troy pound of 1758 by direct comparison. The British avoir- 
dupois pound was also derived from the latter, and contains 7.000 grains troy. 
The grain troy is therefore the same as the grain avoirdupois, and the pound avoirdupois 
in use m the United States is equal to the British pound avoirdupois.

of weights and measures has been established near Paris. Under the direction of the inter- 
national committee two ingots were cast of pure platinum-iridtum in the proportion of nine 
parts of the former to one of the latter metal. From one of these a certain number of kilo- 
grammes were prepared, from the other a definite number of meter bars. These standards of 
weight and length were intercompared, without preference, and certain ones were selected as 
international prototype standards. The others were distributed by lot to the different govern- 
ments and are called national prototype standards. Those apportioned to the United States 
are in the keeping of this office. 

The metric system was legalized in the United States in 1866. 

The international standard meter is derived from the meter des archives, and Its length is 
defined by the distance between two lines at centigrade, on a platinum-iridium bar deposited 
at the international bureau of weights and measures. 

The international standard kilogramme is a mass of platinum-iridium deposited at the 
same place, and its weight in vacuo is the same as that of the kilogramme des archives. 

The liter is equal to a cubic decimeter of water, and it is measured by the quantity of dis- 
tilled water which, at its maximum density, will counterpoise the standard kilogramme In a 
vacuum, the volume of such a quantity of water being, as nearly as has been ascertained, 
equal to a cubic decimeter.

NOTE. Immigrants from the British North American Possessions and Mexico are not 
included in the statistics of immigration owing to the absence of law providing for the collec- 
tion of accurate datai n regard thereto. The arrivals of emigrants in the customs districts 
above specified comprise about 99 per cent, of the entire immigration into the country. 

Arrivals, by nationalities and by decades, of alien passengers from October 1, 1820, to 
December 31, 1867, and of immigrants from January 1, 1808, to June 30, 1890.

CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC FOR 



THE SEAL FISHERIES DISPUTE. 



The territory of Alaska has been valuable . 
for its seal fisheries. In 179: the territory was | 
granted by Russia to the Russo-American Fur 
Company which grant extended to 1S39. This 
company established a station or settlement 
at New Archangel, one of the Alaskan islands, 
and annually exported about 25,000 skins of 
the seal, sea otter, beaver and other fur-bear- 
ing animals. In 1867 the whole Russian pos- 
sessions in America were ceded to the United 
States, and on the 9th of October in that year 
our government took formal possession of 
the territory, paying therefor $7,200,000. The 
seal fisheries continued to grow more valu- 
able, ana to prevent the total extinction of 
the seals, congress, in 1868, placed Alaska un- 
der the jurisdiction of the treasury depart- 
ment, and in the same act forbade the killing, 
except by the permission of the department, 
of any mink, marten, sable, or fur-seal, or 
other fur-bearing animal in the territory of 
Alaska or in the waters thereof. The Priby- 
lov Islands of St. Paul and St. George, which 
are the breeding grounds of the seals, were 
leased to the Alaska Commercial Company of 
San Francisco at an annual rental of $60,000 
with a royalty ol $2 on every seal-skin shipped. 
The number permitted to be killed is 100.000 
each year. With tbe increase of population 
on the Paciflccoast the difficulty of preserving 
the seals from destruction became greatly in- 
creased. Vessels from British Columbia hov- 
ered around the seal islands, and found many [ 
ways of securing cargoes of seal-skins which | 
the Alaska Company and the government 
could not prevent. American vessels also 
engaged in the forbidden traffic, and it be- 
came evident unless this poaching could be 
stopped that the total extinction of the seal 
was a matter of a very few years. 

In 1S76 the United States government sent 
cruisers to the Bering sea to stop such dep- 
redations, and since then a more or less 
effective policing of those islands and waters 
has been maintained. The Indians, however, 
carried on an illicit traffic in fur skins which 
it was impossible to check. They would stalk 
and harpoon the seals on the islands, and 
take the skins in their boats out to sea, ex- 
changing them with vessels engaged in the 
business, for money or whisky. In order to 
stop this business the treasury department in 
1886 attempted to enforce the doctrine that 
the Bering sea was a mare clausum, and that 
the United States had jurisdiction over one- 
half of it. There is no doubt but that Russia 
had always maintained this doctrine, and 
that Great Britain had once admitted it, but 
in 1822 when Russia again attempted to claim 
sovereignty over the sea, both the United 
States and Great Britain raised a strong pro- 
test against the claim that any nation could 
assert territorial jurisdiction over a sea hav- 
ing an entrance more than 1000 miles in width. 
When, therefore, our own government made* 
the same claim to jurisdiction that it had dis- 
puted when made by Russia, Great Britain 
again protested and used the same argu- 
ments against the claim that the United States 
had used when it was made by Russia in 1822. 

The revenue cutter "Corwin" was sent to 
the Bering sea, and its commander was in- 
structed to seize all sealers found east of a 
line drawn from between the Diomede 
Islands, in Bering sea.straight in a south-west- 
erly direction to a point equi-distant from 
Copper, and Otter Islands in the Aleutian 
group. In 1S86 the British schooners Carolina, 
Onward, and Thornton were capturod and 
taken to S-itka. A trial was held, the vessels 
were condemned, the masters fined and the 
seal-skins on board were confiscated and sent 



to San Francisco. The British government at 
once made a demand for the release of the 
prisoners and presented a claim against the 
United States of about $160,000 for loss of 
property, damages, etc. In January 1887 the 
president directed the authorities of Alaska 
to release unconditionally the imprisoned 
men and to surrender the vessels and prop- 
erty. The order was not complied with until 
September. The treasury department, how- 
ever, did not revoke its instructions to com- 
manders of naval vessels in those waters but 
dispatched the "Rush" with the same instruc- 
tions. In tbe summer of 1887 the "Rush" 
seized the British vessels Dolphin, Annie 
Beck, W. P. Saywood, Grace and Alfred Ad- 
ams besides seven American sealers, at vari- 
ous* distances from the shore, of from thirty 
to seventy miles. The British vessels were 
again released. 

In 1889 a bill passed congress to provide for 
the better protection of the Alaskan fisheries, 
but in the law as passed the government tac- 
itly receded from its claim that the Bering 
sea was a mare clausum. Arbitration of the 
whole subject was proposed and practically 
accepted. In the meantime the season was 
approaching when the animals seek the 
islands, and arbitration could not be com- 
pleted in time to prevent the indiscriminate 
slaughter of seals by poachers. A modus 
vivendi was proposed to meet the pressing 
difficulty, and accepted. The correspondence 
which resulted in the adoption of the modus 
vivendi began with a letter from Secretary 
Elaine dated May 4, 1891, to the British minis- 
ter. Sir Julian Panncefote, to which a reply 
was made June 3. The whole correspond- 
ence includes eleven letters which passed be- 
tween the diplomates between that date and 
June 13. Some of these letters were of much 
importance, since the negotiators differed 
about several points of interest. The nego- 
tiations were concluded finally on the 15th of 
June 1891, on which date the president issued 
a proclamation making public the terms of 
the agreement finally reached on that day. 
The rapidity with which the latter steps in the 
negotiation were made is unusual in diplo- 
matic affairs and was only rendered possible 
by the free use of the cable. 

The agreement finally concluded is signed 
by Acting Secretary of State Wharton, who has 
conducted the concluding correspondence, 
and Sir Julian Pauncefote, the British minis- 
ter. The terms of the convention are as fol- 
lows: 

Agreement between the government of the 
United States and the government of Her 
Britannic Majesty for a modus vivendi in re- 
lation to the fur-seal fisheries in Bering sea. 

For the purpose of avoiding irritating dif- 
ferences and with a view to promote the 
friendly settlement of the questions pending 
between the two governments touching their 
respective rights in Bering sea, and for the 
preservation of the seal species, the following 
agreement is made without prejudice to the 
rights or claims of either party: 

1. Her Majesty's government will prohibit, 
until May next, seal killing in that part of 
Bering sea lying eastward of the line of 
demarcation described in article Xo. 1 of the 
treaty of 1867 between the United States and 
Russia; and wiil promptly use its best efforts 
to insure the observance of this prohibition 
by British subjects nnd vessels. 

2. The United States government will pro- 
hibit seal killing for the same period in the 
same part of Boring sea and on the shores 
and islanrls thereof, the property of the 
United States (in excess of 7,500 to be taken

on the islands for the subsistence and care of 
the natives), and* will promptly use its best 
efforts to insure the observance of this pro- 
hibition by United States citizens and vessels. 

3. Every vessel or person offending against 
this prohibition in the said waters of Bering 
sea. outside of the ordinary territorial limits 
of the United States, may be seized and de- 
tained by the naval or other duly commis- 
sioned officers of either of the high contract- 
ing parties, but they shall be handed over as 
soon as practicable to the authorities of the 
nation to which they respectively belong, 
who shall alone have jurisdiction to try the 
offense and impose the penalties for the same. 
The witnesses and proofs necessary to estab- 
lish the offense shall also be sent with them. 

4. In order to facilitate such proper inqui- 
ries as Her Majesty's government may desire 
to make, with a view to the presentation of 
the case of that government before arbitra- 
tors, and in expectation that an agreement 
for arbitration may be arrived at, it is agreed 
that suitable persons designated by Great 
Britain will be permitted at any time, upon 
application, to visit or to remain upon the 
seal islands during the present sealing season 
for that purpose. 

The agreement reached is the result of sug- 
gestions made and modifications accepted on 
both sides, but in regard to substantial mat- 
ters the United States succeeded in carrying 
its points. One of the matters about which a 
difference of opinion arose was in regard to 
the participation of Russia in the agreement 
to be adopted, a point which was urged by Sir 
Julian Pauncefote in his proposal of June 3, 
madein reply to Secretary Elaine's note of 
May 4. Sir Julian proposed an agreement for 



a close season, with the limitation that the 
agreement should not go into operation unless 
Russia should assent to it. This was declared 
by Assistant Secretary Wharton to present an 
insuperable difficulty, inasmuch as Russia 
had never asserted any rights in the waters in 
question affecting the subject matter of the 
contention, and ne said that an insistance 
upon it would be construed as a practical 
withdrawal from the negotiations for a modus 
Vivendi. This condition was withdrawn by 
cabled instructions from Lord Salisbury to 
the British minister. 

In a proposed modification of the terms of 
an agreement suggested by Assistant Secre- 
tary Wharton, Lord Salisbury suggested that 
a joint commission of experts should be ap- 
pointed to report upon the question what 
inter-arrangements, if any, between Great 
Britain and the United States and Russia, or 
any other power, are necessary for the pur- 
pose of preserving the fur-seal race in the 
northern Pacific ocean. In reply to this prop- 
osition the state department declared that 
it regarded this as one of the incidents of the 
agreement for arbitration and to have no 
proper place in the proposals for a modus 
Vivendi. On being pressed for prompt action, 
Lord Salisbury finally gave the British min- 
ister at Washington the requisite authority to 
sign the agreement in the shape which it 
finally took, but with the understanding that 
a joint commission should be appointed with- 
out delay, a condition to which the state de- 
partment readily agreed. The appointment 
of a joint high commission to consider per- 
manent measures for preventing the extinc- 
tion of seal life will, therefore, be made with- 
out unnecessary delaj . 



The discussion now going on in the presby- 
terian church regarding the revision of its 
confession of faith is of interest not only to 
the adherents of that church but to the great 
body of Christians in the United States irre- 
spective of denominational affiliations. The 
common idea is that creed revision is only 
another name for the abandonment of truths 
once held to be essential, and that it implies 
the surrender of unpopular beliefs in re- 
sponse to a demand for liberalism inside, as 
well as outside, of the church itself. Nothing 
could be much further from the truth. The 
period of greatest power and accomplish- 
ment in the Christian church was during the 
three centuries succeeding the death of the 
Savior, and during that whole period the sim- 

>licity of the creed was a tower of strength. 

t was practically what is now known as the 
apostle's creed. The increase of churches 
and of philosophic thought caused disputes 
as to the construction and meaning of biblical 
statements which resulted in divisions into 
sects Each band of Christians that left some 
parent church proceeded to particularize the 
cause of its secession and to emphasize its 
peculiar tenets, which it incorporated into its 
creed as a badge of its distinctive belief. In 
this way the creeds of churches have become 
encumbered with many dogmas which, while 
they may be true, are liable to be misunder- 
stood and have not the authority of "Thus 
saith the Lord" for being made a test of 
Christianity. Creed revision is, therefore, not 
the surrender of anybody of Christian truth, 
but the giving up of tenets, easily misunder- 
stood, not held to be essential by the early 
church it is a return to first principles of 
Christianity rather than a letting down in any 
of the essentials of early Christian faith and 
practice. There are many truths in mathe- 



CREED REVISION. 

What it is and how it is being accomplished. 



matics that have no place in the multiplica- 
tion table and there are also many truths, 
held by all Christians to be divine, that have 
no place in a church creed, and creed revision 
is the withdrawal of such non-essential truths 
from the confession of faith. 

In the nature of the case it is difficult to in- 
dicate definitely the beginning of any great 
movement of religious thought, but we may 
say, in general, that by the year 1887 the ques- 
tion of revision had.become prominent in the 
presbyterian church in the United States of 
America. The presbytery of Long Island 
took the initiative in communicating with 
other presbyteries upon the subject, with the 
result that when the general assembly con- 
vened in New York City in 1889, overtures were 
sent to it from fifteen presbyteries asking for 
some revision of the confession of faith upon 
the ground that in the opinion of "many of 
our ministers and people" some forms of 
statement contained therein were "liable to 
misunderstanding and exposed the system of 
doctrine to unmerited criticism." 

Upon this the assembly of 1889 submitted 
two questions to all the presbyteries: 1. Do 
you desire a revision of the confession of 
faith ? 2. If so, in what respects and to what 
extent? The answers to these questions were 
returned to the next assembly, convened at 
Saratoga in IS'.O, when it appeared that 134 
presbyteries had answered "yes" to the first 
question. 

A committee was then appointed, consist- 
ing of fifteen ministers and ten elders, to be 
known as "The Assembly's Committee on the 



I Revision of the Confession of Faith, 
business it should be to formulate and report 
to the assembly of 1891, at Detroit, such alter- 

i ations and amendments to the confession of

faith as in their judgment might be deemed 
advisable. 

Inasmuch, however, as sixty-eight presby- 
teries had answered - 'no" to the first of the 
above questions, and sixty-nine presbyteries 
of those answering "yes" had expressly said 
that they desired "no change in the confes- 
sion of faith that should impair the integ- 
rity of the system of doctrine taught therein," 
the committee on revision was instructed not 
to propose any alterations or amendments 
that should in any way impair the integrity 
of the reformed or Calviuistic system of doc- 
trine taught in the confession. 

At the meeting of the general assembly in 
Detroit in 1891 the following alterations, 
amendments and additions which the revis- 
ion committee on the confession of faith had 
prepared to recommend to the general assem- 
blv were submitted. It is the result of the 
labors of a committee composed of theolog- 
ical professors, college presidents, pastors 
and elders, chosen from the factions which fa- 
vored revision and also from those whoop- 
posed it. The new version precedes the old 
as here printed, the new being leaded. Words 
in the new statement inclosed in quotation 
marks are additions to the received text.

vision committee and Wm. E. Moore secretary.

CHAPTER III. OF GOD'S ETERNAL DECREE. 

Sections I and II unchanged; sections III 
and IV stricken out, and section V amended 
so that section III will read: 

III. God, before the foundation of the world 
was laid, according to his eternal and im- 
mutable purpose and the secret counsel and 
good pleasure of his will, hath predestined 
some of mankind unto life, and hath particu- 



larly and unchangeably chosen them in Christ 
unto everlasting glory, out of his mere free 
grace and love, without any foresight of 
faith, or good works, or perseverance in 
either of them, or any other thing in the 
creature, as conditions or causes, moving 
him thereunto; and all to the praise of his 
glorious grace. 

Section VI remains unchanged and becomes 
section IV. Section VII was amended and 
becomes section V, and is as follows: 

V. The rest of mankind, God was pleased 
according to the unsearchable counsel of 
his own will, whereby he extendeth or with- 
holdeth mercy as he pleaseth, "not to elect 
unto everlasting life," but to ordain them to 
dishonor and wrath for their sin, to the praise 
of his glorious justice; "yet so as thereby 
neither is any limitation put upon the offer of 
salvation to all, upon condition of faith in 
Christ; nor is restraint laid upon the free- 
dom of any one to hinder his acceptance of 
this offer." 

VI. Section VIII remains unchanged and be- 
comes section VI. 

III. By the decree of God for the mani- 
festation of his glory, some men and angels 
are predestined unto everlasting life, and 
others foreordained to everlasting death. 

IV. These angels and men, thus predes- 
tinated and foreordained, are particularly and 
unchangeably designed; and their number is 
so certain and definite that it cannot be 
either increased or diminished. 

V. Those of mankind that are predestined 
into life, God, before the foundation of the 
world was laid, according to his eternal and 
immutable purpose and the secret counsel 
and good pleasure of his will, hath chosen in 
Christ unto everlasting glory, out of his mere 
free grace and love, without any foresight of 
faith or good works, or perseverance in either 
of them, or any other thing in the creature, 
as conditions or causes moving him there- 
unto; and all to thepraiseof hisgloriousgrace. 

VII. The rest of mankind God was pleased, 
according to the unsearchable counsel of his 
own will, whereby he extendeth or with- 
holdeth mercy as he pleaseth for the glory 
of his sovereign power over his creatures to 
pas by, and to ordain them to dishonor and 
wrath for their sin, to the praise of his glo- 
rious justice. 

CHAPTER IV. OF CREATION. 

I. It pleased God, the Father, Son and 
Holy Ghost for the manifestation of the 
glory of his eternal power, wisdom and good- 
ness in the beginning to create of nothing 
"the universe" and all things therein, 
whether visible or invisible, and all very 
good. "The heavens and the earth, with all 
that they contain, were made by him in six 
creative days." .

opposite to all "that is spiritually" good, and 
wholly inclined to evil, do proceed all actual 
transgressions. "Nevertheless, the provi- 
dence of God and the common operations of 
his spirit restrain unregenerate men from 
much that is evil and lead them to exercise 
many social and civil virtues."

we are utterly indisposed, disabled and made

CHAPTER VII. OF Go'S COVENANT WITH 
MAN. 

III. Man by his fall, having made himself 
incapable of life by that covenant, the Lord 
was pleased to make a second, commonly 
called the covenant of grace, wherein he 
freely offereth "by his word and spirit" unto 
sinners life and salvation by Jesus Christ, re- 
quiring of them faith in him that they may 
be saved, and promising to give unto all those 
that are ordained unto life his holy spirit to 
make them willing and able to believe. 

III. Man by his fall, having made himself 
incapable of life by that covenant, the Lord 
was pleased to make a second, commonly 
called the covenant of grace, wherein he 
freely offereth unto sinners life and salvation 
by Jesus Christ, requiring of them faith in him 
that they might be saved, and promising to 
give unto all those that are ordained unto life 
his holy spirit to make them willing and able 
to believe. 

Section IV was stricken out; section V be- 
comes section IV. The words in the last line, 
"and is called the Old Testament," were 
stricken out. 

IV. This covenant was differently adminis- 
tered in the time of the law and in the time of 
the gospel, under the law it was administered 
by promises, prophecies, sacrifices, circumcis- 
ion, the paschal lamb and other types and 
ordinances delivered to the people of the 
Jews, all fore-signifying Christ to come, which 
were for that time sufficient and efficacious, 
through the operation of the spirit, to instruct 
and build up the elect in faith in the promised 
Messiah, by whom they had full remission of 
sins and eternal salvation. 

IV. This covenant of grace is frequently set 
forth in the Scripture by the name of a testa- 
ment in reference to the death of Jesus Christ, 
the testator, and to the everlasting inher- 
itance, with all things belonging to it, therein 
bequeathed. 

Section VI becomes section V. In line nine 
the words, "and is called the New Testa- 
ment," were stricken out. 

V. Under the gospel, when Christ, the sub- 
stance, was exhibited, the ordinances, in which 
this covenant is dispensed, are the preaching 
of the word and the administration of the 
sacraments of baptism and the Lord's supper, 
which, though few in number, and adminis- 
tered with more simplicity and less outward 
glory, yet in them it is held forth in more full- 
ness, evidence and spiritual efficacy to all na- 
tions, both Jews and Gentiles. There are not, 
therefore, two covenants of grace differing in 



substance, but one and the same under va- 
rious dispensations. 

CHAPTER VHI. OF CHRIST THE MEDIATOR. 

V. The Lord Jesus, by his perfect obedience 
and sacrifice of himself, which he through 
the eternal spirit once offered up unto God, 
hath fully satisfied "divine" justice and pur- 
chased not only reconciliation but an ever- 
lasting inheritance in the kingdom of heaven 
for all those whom the Father hath given 
unto him. 

The chapter, "Of the Work of the Holy 
Spirit," becomes chapter IX. 

V. The Lord Jesus, by his perfect obedience 
and sacrifice of himself, which he through 
the eternal spirit once offered up unto God, 
hath fully satisfied the justice of his Father 
and purchased not only reconciliation but an 
everlasting inheritance in the kingdom of 
heaven for all those whom the Father hath 
given unto him. 

CHAPTER IX. OF THE WORK OF THE HOLY 
SPIRIT. 

I. The Holy Spirit, the third person in the 
trinity, being very and eternal God, the same 
in substance with the Father and the Son, 
and equal in power and glory(l), is together 
with the Father and Son to be believed in, 
loved, obeyed and worshiped throughout all 
ages(2). (1) Matt. ,3: 16-17; 28: 19; John 14, 16-17; 
I Cor., 2: 11. (2)11 Cor., 13: 14; Gal., 5: 22,25; 
Eph.,4:4-6; Heb., 9; 14. 

II. The Holy Spirit, who of old revealed to 
men in various ways the mind and will of 
God, hath fully and authoritatively made 
known this mind and will in all things per- 
taining to life and salvation in the sacred 
Scriptures(l), holy men of God speaking 
therein as they were moved by the Holy 
Ghost (2), and these Scriptures, being so in- 
spired, are the infallible word of God, the 
supreme rule of faith and duty(3). (1) I Cor., 
2: 10-13; Heb., 1: 1-2; John, 16: 13. (2) Acts, 1: 
16; II Tim., 3: 15-16; II Peter, 1:21. (3)1 
Thess., 2; 13; John, 5: 39; Col. ,3: 16. 

III. The Holy Spirit, the Lord and giver of 
life, is everywhere present among men. con- 
firming the teachings of nature and the law of 
God written on the heart, restraining from 
evil and inciting to good, and is the source of 
all the wisdom, virtue and reverence for God 
found in men, and of all the peace and good 
order in society, thus preparing the way for 
the gospel wherever it is preached(l). He 
everywhere accompanies the gospel with his 
persuasive energy and urges its passage upon 
the unregenerate, enlightening their minds 
concerning divine things, quickening their 
consciences and drawing them by his grace so 
that they who reject the merciful offer of the 
gospel are not only without excuse but are 
also guilty of resisisting the Holy spirit (2). 
(1) Joel, 2: 28; John 1:9; Rev., 22:17; Rom., 
10:18; Rom.,1: 19,20; 2.14,15. (2) John, 16: 8; 
Isa., 63: 10; Acts, 2: 16-18; Acts, 7: 51; 24: 25; 
Heb., 10: 29. 

IV. The Holy Spirit is the only efficient 



48 



CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC FOR 1802. 



agent in applying and communicating re- 
demption. He effectually calls sinners to 
new life in Christ Jesus, regenerating them by 
his almighty grace, freeing them from the 
bondage of sin and death and persuading and 
enabling them to embrace Jesus Christ by 
faith (1). He dwells in all believers as their 
comforter and sanctifler, and as the spirit of 
adoption and of supplication (2), leading them 
into all the truth, making the means of grace 
efficacious in their edification, strengthen- 
ing them for all duty, sustaining them in all 
affliction (3) and performing all other gracious 
offices by which they are sanctified, sealed 
and made meet for the inheritance of the 
saints in light. (1) John, 3: 5; II Cor., 5: 5, 17; 
Rom.. 8: 2; I Cor., 12: 3; II Cor., 7: 10. (2) John, 
1: 12; 14: 17; Rom. 8: 15, 26, 27. (3) Gal., 5: 5, 22; 
Jude, 5: 20,21; Eph., 3: 16; 4: 30; IIThesa.,2: 
13; Col. 1: 12. 

V. By the indwelling of the Holy Spirit all 
believers are vitally united to Christ, who is 
the head, and are thus united to one another 
in the church, which is his body(l). He calls 
and anoints ministers for their holy office. 
He also calls and qualifies all other officers in 
the church for their special work and imparts 
various gifts, and graces to its members(2). 
He gives efficacy to the word and to the 
ordinances of the gospel, keeps the church 
from apostasy, revives it in times of declen- 
sion and enables it to bear effectual testi- 
mony to the truth(3). By him the church has 
been and will be preserved, increased and 
purified until it shall cover the earth and at 
last be presented to Christ a glorious church, 
not having spot or wrinkle or any such 
thing(4). (1) I Tim., 3: 15; Eph., 1: 22, 23; 3: 10 
4: 16. (2) Acts, 13: 2; I Cor., 2: 4. (3) Eph., 4: 3, 
4; I Tim., 4: 1; Joel 2: 28; Acts, 1: 27; Matt., 
28:18-20. (4) Eph., 5: 27; Rev., 5: 11-13; 11: 15. 
CHAPTER IX. (X.) OP FREEWILL. 

III. Man, by his fall into a state of sin, 
hath wholly lost all ability of will to any spir- 
itual good accompanying salvation, so as a 
natural man, being altogether "indisposed 
to" that good and dead in sin, Is not able, by his 
own strength, to convert himself or to pre- 
pare himself thereunto. ''Yet is his re- 
sponsibility as a free moral agent not thereby 
impaired." 

The chapter "Of the Universal Offer of the 
GospeV'becomes chapter XL, and the number 
of all succeeding chapters is increased by two. 

III. Man, by his fall into a state of sin. hath 
wholly lost all ability of will to any spiritual 
good accompanying salvation; so as a natural 
man, being altogether averse from that good 
and dead in sin, is not able by his own 
strength to convert himself or to prepare 
himself thereunto. 
CHAPTER XI. OF THE UNIVERSAL OFFER OF 
THE GOSPEL. 

I. God so loved the world that he provided 
in the covenant of grace, through the media- 
tion and sacrifice of the Lord Jesus Christ, a 
way of life and salvation sufficient for and 



adapted to the whole lost race of man(l); 
and he doth freely offer this salvation to all 
men in the gospel(2). (1) Rom., 1: 16; II Cor., 
: 19; Eph.. 1: 10; Col., 1:20; Heb., 9: 26; 10: 14; 
I John, 1: 7; 2: 2. (2) Luke, 23: 47; Acts, 2:39; 
13: 47; Col., 1: 23. 

II. The gospel declares the love of God for 
the world(l), and his desire for the salvation 
of all men(2). It sets forth fully and clearly 
the only way of salvation, which is through 
Christ alone(3); promises that all who truly 
repent and believe in him shall be saved (4) ; 
commands, exhorts and invites all to embrace 
the offered mercy; and urges every motive to 
to induce man to accept its gracious invita- 
tions^). This free and universal offer of the 
gospel is accompanied by the holy spirit(6), 
striving with and entreating men to believe 

n the Lord Jesus Christ. (1) John, 3: 16; I 
John, 4: 14. (2) Ezek., 33: 11; Matt., 23: 37; 
Luke, 19: 41, 42; ITim.,2: 4. (3)Isa.,53: 5; Matt., 
1: 21; Luke, 2: 30-32; I Cor., 1: 30; 3: 11; ITim.,2: 
5' 6; 3: 16. (4) John, 5: 24; 6: 47; 20: 31; Acts, 2: 
38; 3: 19; 10: 43; 16: 31; Rom., 10: 9-11. (5) Isa., 
55: 1-3; Matt., 11: 28-30; Mark, 1: 15; 8: 36; Luke, 
4: 18; John, 7: 37; Acts, 17: 30; II Cor., 5: 20. (6) 
John, 16: 8-11; Acts, 2: 17; 10: 44,45; 16: 14; I Cor., 
2: 4; Titus, 3; 5,6; Heb., 2: 4; Rev. 22: 17. 

III. It is the duty and privilege of every one 
who hears the gospel immediately to accept 
its merciful pro visions (1). Great guilt and 
danger are incurred by delay or neglect(2). 
And they who continue to disobey the gospel 
perish by their own fault and are wholly with- 
out excuse, because they have resisted the 
holy spirit and rejected God's gracious offer of 
eternal life(3). (1) Matt., 3: 2; Luke, 9: 61,62; 
13: 24, 25; II Cor., 6: 2; Heb., 3: 13, 15. (2) Matt.. 
7: 24-27; 25: 10; Luke, 12: 20; 14: 18; Acts, 24: 25;

IV. As there is no other way of salvation 
than that revealed in the gospel(l), and as in 
the divinely established and ordinary method 
of grace faith comet h by hearing the word of 
God, Christ hath given to his church the writ- 
ten word, the sacraments and the ministry; 
endowed her with the holy spirit and com- 
missioned her to go with his gospel into all the 
world and to make disciples of all nations(2). 
It is, therefore, the duty and privilege of 
all believers to sustain the means of grace 
where they are already established, and to 
contribute by their prayers, gifts and per- 
sonal efforts to the extension of the kingdom 
of Christ throughout the whole earth. (1) John,

CHAPTER (X.) XII. OF EFFECTUAL CALLING. 

II. This effectual call is of God's free and 
special grace alone, not from anything at all 
foreseen in man, wno is altogether passive 
"in the act of regeneration wherein;" being 



CREED REVISION.

quickened and renewed by the holy spirit, 
he is enabled to answer "God's" call and to 
embrace the grace offered and conveyed in it, 

II. This effectual call is of God's free and 
special grace alone, not from anything at all 
foreseen in man, who is altogether passive 
therein, until being quickened and renewed 
by the holy spirit, he is thereby enabled to 
answer this call and to embrace the grace of- 
fered and conveyed in it. 

III. "All" infants dying in infancy, and all 
other persons who "from birth to death" are 
incapable of beine outwardly called by the 
ministry of the word, "are redeemed" by 
Christ, "and regenerated by the spirit," who 
worketh when, and where, and how he 
pleaseth. 

III. Elect infants dying in infancy are re- 
generated and saved by Christ through the 
spirit, who worketh when, and where, and 
how he pleaseth So also are all other elect 
persons who are incapable of being outwardly 
called by the ministry of the word. 

IV. Others, not elected, although they may 
be called by the ministry of the word and 
may have some common operations of the 
spirit, yet "inasmuch as they" never truly 
come to Christ, "they" cannot be saved; 
"neither is there salvation" in any other way 
"than by Christ through the spirit, however 
diligent men may be in framing" their lives 
according to the light of nature and the law 
of that religion they do profess. 

IV. Others, not elected, although they may 
be called by the ministry of the word and 
may have some common operations of the 
spirit, yet never truly come to Christ, and 
therefore cannot be saved; much less can 
men not professing the Christian religion be 
saved in any other way whatsoever, be they 
never so diligent to frame their lives accord- 
ing to the light of nature and the law of that 
religion they do profess, and to assert and 
maintain that they may is very pernicious 
and to be detested. 

CHAPTER (XI.) XIII. OF JUSTIFICATION. 

I. Those whom God effectually calleth he 
also freely justifleth; not by infusing right- 
eousness into them, but by pardoning their 
sins and by accounting and accepting their per- 
sons as righteous; not for anything wrought 
in them or done by them, but for Christ's 
sake alone; not by imputing faith itself, the 
act of believing, or any other evangelical obe- 
dience to them as their righteousness, but by 
imputing the obedience and satisfaction of 
Christ unto them, they receiving and resting 
on him and his righteousness by faith, which 
faith (they have not of themselves, it) is the 
gift of God. 

The words in parenthesis were stricken out 
so as to read, "which faith is" the gift of God. 

III. Christ, by his obedience and death, did 
fully discharge the debt of all those that are 
thus justified, and did make a proper, real and 
full satisfaction to "divine" justice in their 
behalf. Yet, inasmuch as he was given by the 
Father for them, and his obedience and satis- 
faction accepted in their stead, and both 
freely, not for anything in them, their justifi- 



cation is only of free grace; that both the 
exact justice and rich grace of God might be 
glorified in the justification of sinners. 

In line four "divine" is substituted for His 
Father's justice. 

CHAPTER (XIV.) XVI. OF SAVING FAITH. 

I. The grace of faith whereby "sinners" 
are enabled to believe to the saving of their 
souls is the work of the spirit of Christ in 
their hearts, and is ordinarily wrought by the 
ministry of the word, by which also, and by 
the administration of the sacraments and 
prayer, it is increased and strengthened. 

I. The grace of faith whereby the elect are 
enabled to believe to the saving of their souls 
is the work of the spirit of Christ in their 
hearts, and is ordinarily wrought by the min- 
istry of the word, by which also, and by the 
administration of the sacraments and prayer, 
it is increased and strengthened. 

CHAPTER (XVI.) XVIII. OF GOOD WORKS. 

VII. Works done by unregenerate men, 
although they may be things which God com- 
mands and are of good use both to them- 
selves and others; "and while their neglect 
of such things is sinful and displeasing unto 
God," yet because they proceed not from a 
heart purified by faith, nor are done in a 
right manner, according to the word; nor to a 
right end, the glory of God, they are there- 
fore "not free from sin," and cannot "be ac- 
cepted of " God or make a man meet to re- 
ceive grace from God. 

VII. Works done by unregenerate men, 
although for the matter of them they may be 
things which God commands, and of good use 
both to themselves and others, yet because 
they proceed not from a heart purified by 
faith, nor are done in a right manner, ac- 
cording to the word; nor to a right end, the 
glory of God, they are therefore sinful, and 
cannot please God or make a man meet to re- 
ceive grace from God. And yet their neglect 
of them is more sinful and displeasing unto 
God. 

CHAPTER (XXI.) XXIII. OF RELIGIOUS WOR- 
SHIP AND THE SABBATH DAY. 

IV. Prayer is to be made for things lawful; 
"for the forgiveness of all sins except" the 
sin unto death; and for all sorts of men 
living or that shall live hereafter, but not for 
the dead. 

IV. Prayer is to be made for things lawful, 
and for all sorts of men living or that shall 
live hereafter; but not for the dead nor those 
of whom it may be known that they have 
sinned the sin unto death. 

CHAPTER (XXII.) XXIV. OF LAWFUL OATHS 
AND VOWS. 

VII. No man may vow to do anything for- 
bidden in the word of God or what would 
hinder any duty therein commanded, or which 
is not in his own power, and for the perform- 
ance whereof he hath no promise or ability 
from God. In which respect popish monas- 
tical vows of perpetual single life, professed 
poverty and regular obedience are so far re- 
moved from degrees of higher perfection that 
they are superstitious and sinful snares in 



r>o

which no Christian may entangle himself. 
The word "popish," In line six, was stricken 
out, so as to read "monastical vows," etc. 

CHAPTER (XXIII.) XXV. OP THE CIVIL MAG- 
ISTRATE. 

III. Ciril magistrates may not assume to 
themselves the administration of the word 
and sacraments, or the power of the keys of 
the kingdom of heaven, or in the least inter- 
fere in matters of faith. Yet, as nursing 
fathers, it is the duty of civil magistrates to 
protect the church of our common Lord with- 
out giving the preference to any denomina- 
tion of Christians above the rest, in snch a 
manner that all ecclesiastical persons what- 
ever shall enjoy the full, free and unques- 
tioned liberty of discharging every part of 
their sacred functions without violence or 
danger. And as Jesus Christ hath appointed 
a regular government and discipline In his 
church, no law of any commonwealth should 
interfere with, let or hinder the due exercise 
thereof among the voluntary members of any 
denomination of Christians according to their 
own profession and belief. It Is the duty of 
civil magistrates to protect the person and 
good name of all their people in such an ef- 
fectual manner as that no person be suffered, 
either upon pretense of religion or Infidelity, 
to offer any indignity, violence, abuse or in- 
jury to any other person whatsoever; and to 
take order that all religious and ecclesiastical 
assemblies be held without molestation or 
disturbance. 

The words, "as nursing fathers," lines five 
and six, were stricken out. 

CHAPTER (XXIV.) XXVI. OF MARRIAGE AND- 
DIVORCE. 

III. it is lawful for all sorts of people to 
marry who are able, with judgment, to give 
their consent; yet it is the duty of Christians 
to marry only in the Lord; and, therefore, such 
as profess the true religion should not marry 
with infidels "nor with the adherents of false 
religions;" neither should such as are godly 
be unequally yoked by marrying with such as 
are notoriously wicked in their life. 

III. It is lawful for all sorts of people to 
marry who are able with judgment to give 
their consent; yet it is the duty of Christians to 
marry only in the Lord ; and, therefore, such as 
profess the true reformed religion should not 
marry with infidels, papists or other Idola- 
ters; neither should such as are godly be un- 
equally yoked by marrying with such as are 
notoriously wicked in their life or maintain 
damnable heresies. 

CHAPTER (XXV.) XXVII. OF THE CHURCH. 

VI. There is no other head of the church 
but the Lord Jesus Christ, "and the claim of 
the pope of Rome to be the vicar of Christ 
and the head of the church universal is with- 
out warrant in Scripture or in fact, and is a 
usurpation dishonoring to the Lord Jesus 
Christ." 



VI. There is no other head of the church 
but the Lord Jesus Christ; nor can the pope 
of Rome in any sense be head thereof, but 
is that anti-Christ, that man of sin and son of 
perdition that exalteth himself In the church 
against Christ and all that is called God. 

CHAPTER (XXIX.) XXXI. OF THE LORD'S 
SUPPER. 

II. In this sacrament Christ is not offered 
up to his Father, nor any real sacrifice made at 
all, for remission of sins of the quick or 
dead; but only a commemoration of that one 
offering up of himself by himself upon the 
cross once for all. and a spiritual oblation of 
all possible praise unto God for the same; so 
that the "Roman catholic doctrine of the" 
sacrifice of the mass is most abominably in- 
jurious to Christ's one only sacrifice "for sin." 

II. In this sacrament Christ is not offered 
up to his Father, nor any real sacrifice made 
at all, for remission of sins of the quick or 
dead; but only a commemoration of that one 
offering up or himself by oblation of all pos- 
sible praise unto God for the same; so that 
the popish sacrifice of the mass, as they call it, 
Is most abominably Injurious to Christ's one 
only sacrifice, the alone propitiation for all 
the sins of the elect. 

VIII. Although ignorant and wicked men 
receive the outward elements in this sacra- 
ment, yet they receive not the thing signified 
thereby; but, by their unworthy coming 
thereunto, are guilty of the body and blood of 
the Lord to their own damnation. Wherefore 
all ignorant and ungodly persons, as they are 
unfit to enjoy communion with him, so are 
they unworthy of the Lord's table and cannot, 
without great sin against Christ, while they 
remain such, partake of these holy mysteries 
or be admitted thereunto. 

For damnation, line six, "condemnation" 
was substituted. 

CHAPTER (XXX.) XXXII.-OF CHURCH CEN- 
SURES. 

II. To these officers the keys of the king- 
dom of heaven are committed, by virtue 
whereof they have "ministerial and declara- 
tive" power respectively to retain and remit 
sins, to shut that kingdom against the impeni- 
tent, both by the word and censures, and to 
open it unto penitent sinners by the ministry 
of the gospel and by absolution from censures, 
as occasion shall require.

against the impenitent, both by the word

require. 

This report was sent down to the presbyte- 
ries by the general assembly "for considera- 
tion, criticism or amendment." If it is 
adopted by three-fourths of all the presbyte- 
ries it will be returned to the general assem- 
bly for enactment. 



BALLOT REFORM.

BALLOT REFORM. 




AUSTRALIAN SYSTEM IN SHADED STATES AND TERRITORIES. 



The last few years have witnessed marvel- 
ous reforms in the methods of exercising the 
elective franchise in the United States. There 
has been a popular demand among the peo- 
ple that safeguards be thrown about the bal- 
lot-box to protect the voter and secure abso- 
lute secrecy in voting. The system in vogue 
in some of the Australian colonies for the 
last fifteen years became more popular in this 
country the more fully it was understood, and 
that system, with various modifications and 
amendments, has now been adopted in twenty- 
nine out of the forty-eight states and territo- 
ries of the Union. The Australian system 
was practically first introduced into the 
United States in 1888, when it was adopted by 
the state of Massachusetts and by the state 
of Kentucky in which it was made applicable 
to the city of Louisvjile. The same year this 
system was embodied in the Saxton bill which 
was introduced into and passed by the legis- 
lature of the state of New York but was 
vetoed by Gov. Hill, on the ground of uncon- 
stitutionality. A compromise bill was,however, 
passed by the legislature of that state in 1890, 
and became a law. Following these examples 
of Massachusetts and Kentucky, the legisla- 
tures of the following states in 1889 passed 
laws adopting the new system. Indiana, Mon- 
tana, Rhode Island, Wisconsin, Tennessee, 
Minnesota, Missouri, Michigan, and Connecti- 
cut. In 1890 Arkansas, California, Delaware. 
Illinois, Maine, Nebraska, New Hampshire, 
North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma Territory, 
Oregon, South Dakota, and West Virginia 
adopted similar measures. To secure the 
greatest privacy to the voter is the essential 
feature of all these enactments. This is pro- 
vided for by all the new laws through the 
mechanical arrangements of booths, guard- 
rails, etc., similar to those in use in England 



and wherever the Australian system is em- 
ployed. The laws in force in the various 
states may not all have secured absolute se- 
crecy, but they certainly have come ver> close 
to bringing about this millenium in modern 
election methods. The laws protect the blind 
and the illiterate voters who cannot read the 
tickets. Those unable to prepare their own 
tickets are assisted by the election judges in 
some states, and in others, they may select a 
person to accompany them within the booth. 
Some laws,like those of Missouri, specify that 
the judges shall perform this service for the 
voter when it is requested. New York and 
New Jersey having separate ballots for each 
of the parties, which require no marking un- 
less the voter wants to scratch, make no pro- 
vision for those unable to read or write. 

There are two methods of grouping the 
names on the tickets and both have been 
tried. The first of these is the English, or 
more properly the original Australian style of 
alphabetical arrangement of the names of 
the candidates under the title of the office. 
This is used by the following states: Cali- 
fornia, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Minnesota, 
Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, Oregon, 
Rhode Island, Tennessee, Vermont, Washing- 
ton, and Wyoming. 

The second is known as the Belgian system, 
ana consists of grouping all nominations and 
offices by parties. It fs used in Missouri, 
Ohio, Wisconsin, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana. 
Maine, Maryland, and Oklahoma Territory. 

In addition to its reform law, Massachusetts 
has a bell, and some mechanism in each bal- 
lot-box which registers and cancels the votes. 
This apparatus was adopted before the ballot 
reform law was proposed and has proved to 
be a most useful and practical arrangement. 



A WATCH AS A COMPASS. 



All watches are compasses Point the hour 
hand to the sun and the south Is exactly half- 
way between that hour and the figure twelve 
on the dial of the watch. For instance, sup- 
pose that it is four o'clock; point the hand in- 
dicating four to the sun and two on the watch 



is exactly south. Or suppose it is eight o'clock; 
point the hand indicating eight t9 the sun and 
the figure ten on the watch will be south. 
This was tested recently by a writer in the 
Massachusetts Medical Record and found to 
be an accurate guide.

PENSIONS. 



S3 



THE PENSION OFFICE. 
Work of the department for the fiscal year 1891. 



The annual report of Commissioner liaum 
of the pension bureau, submitted to the sec- 
retary of the interior, shows that on June 30, 
1891, there were 676,160 pensioners borne on 
the rolls of the bureau, being 138,216 more than 
were carried on the rolls at the close of the 
last fiscal year. They are classified as fol- 
lows: Widows and daughters of revolution- 
ary soldiers, 23; army invalid pensioners, 413,- 
597; army widows, minor children, etc., 108,537; 
navy invalid pensioners 5,449, navy widows, 
minor children, etc., 2,5(58; survivors of the 
war of 1812, 7.590; survivors of the Mexican war 
16,379; widows of soldiers of the Mexican war 
6,976. 

Following are the number of pensions of 
the several classes granted under the act of 
June 27, 1890: Army invalid pensioners 97,136; 
army widows, minor children, etc., 12.209; 
navy Invalid pensioners 3,976; navy widows, 
minor children, etc., 1.436. During the last 
fiscal year first payments were paid upon 
131,160 original claims, requiring $31,391,538 for 
their payment. This is an increase In the 
number of original payments over the year 
1890 of 64,532. The aggregate cost, however, 
was $1,087,302 less. 

There were 222.521 first payments of every 
description, requiring $38,552,274, being $69,592 
less than was required for the 130,514 first pay- 
ments made during the last fiscal year. The 
average value of first payments made during 
the year was $239.33 and the average value of 
first payments on claims allowed under the 
act of June 27, 1890, was $71.28. The average 
value of first payments for the preceding year 
was $485.71, being a reduction In the average 
first payments of $246.38. 

The aggregate annual value of the 676,150 
pensions on the roll June 31 last, 1891, was 
$89,247,200 and the average annual value of 
each pension was $139.99 and the average an- 
nual value of each pension under the act of 
June 27, 1890, was $121.51. 

At the close of the fiscal year there were 
38,574 pensioners on the roll who remained un- 
paid for the want of time and who were en- 
titled to receive $4,883,242, which will be paid 
out of the appropriation for the current fiscal 
year, and there remained at the close of the 



fiscal year in the hands of the several pen- 
sion agents the sum of $5,713.852.84 which has 
since been covered into the treasury. This 
amount added to $3,607,133.22 of the pension 
amount not drawn from the treasury agg-e- 
gates $9,320,986.06 of the appropriation which 
was not expended. There will be a deficiency 
in the appropriation for the payment of fees 
and expenses of examining surgeons of about 

The total amount disbursed on account of 
pensions, expenses, etc., during the fiscal year 
was $118,548,959.71 as compared with $100.493,- 
890.19 disbursed during the preceding fiscal 
year. So that it appears that 136,216 pensions 
were added to the rolls during the fiscal year 
just closed, at an increased cost to the nation 
of $12,055,009 as compared with the expendi- 
tures for the previous fiscal year, and said ex- 
penditure includes $4,357,347 paid upon vouch- 
ers remaining unpaid at the close of the year. 
The largest number of certificates issued to 
any class was 4,693 to men who served thirty- 
six months. The age of the greatest number 
of pensioners under both the old and new law 
was forty-seven years. During the last year 
20,525 pensioners were dropped from the rolls 
for various causes, and of this number 13,229 
were dropped by reason of death. 

The loss to the pension rolls by the decease 
of widows and dependent mothers and fa- 
thers was at the rate of thirty-five per 1,000 In 
Ib91. It is estimated that of the soldiers who 
served the country during the late war 1,004,-

pendents. 

There are about 1,208,707 soldiers of the

sented on the pension rolls. The commis-

THE CHILEAN WAR. 



Of these schools the Commissioner of Indian 
Affairs says: "The policy of aiding church 
schools is one that has grown up as a matter 
of administration, having only a semblance of 
legislative authority. But the rapid develop- 
ment of the public-school system has brought 
the government schools into a position where 
it is entirely feasible for them at an early day 
to assume the whole charge of Indian educa- 
tion, so far as it is carried on by the govern- 
ment. I can not refrain from the expression 
of the earnest conviction that it is contrary to 
the letter and the spirit of the Constitution of 
the United States and utterly repugnant to our 
American institutions and our American his- 
tory to take from the public money funds for 
the support of sectarian institutions. I believe 
that the government ought to assume, abso- 
lutely and completely, the control of Indian 
education, and that these wards should be 
trained in the government institutions with 
the specific end of fitting them for American 
citizenship, and that no moneys from the pub- 



lic treasury should be devoted to sectarian or 
church institutions. If churches desire to 
maintain mission schools among the Indians, 
they should do so as missionary work and sup- 
port them out of missionary funds 

There is a rapidly growing public opinion, 
shared by those who have heretofore received 
from the government large sums of money for 
church schools, that the time is near at hand 
when the mixed system should be done away 
with. There should be no violent or sudden 
change, no action that can be construed as 
partial or unjust, but a gradual extension of 
the national system until it embraces the 
entire work. Meantime, the purpose of the 
office is to maintain practically the status quo, 
making no changes except such as are ren- 
dered necessary by circumstances. In thus 
expressing my own personal convictions on 
this important question I believe I am giv- 
ing expression to the American idea of the 
entire separation of church and state." 



REDUCTION OF INDIAN RESERVATIONS, 



The work of reducing the area of the reser- 
vations, by extinguishing by purchase from 
the Indians their title to the land and its 
restoration to the public domain, has been 
carried forward rapidly, as is shown in the 
following detailed statements: 

Counting the 22 small reserves of the Mission 
Indians of California as only one reserve, and 
the 19 Pueblo reserves of New Mexico as one 
also, the number of reservations as given in 
the annual report of this office for 1890 was 138, 
having an aggregate area of about 104,314,349 
acres, or 162,991 square miles. This amount is 
about 12,07l.3sO acres, or 18.861 square miles, 
less than the amount reported in 1889, while at 
the present time there are five more reserva- 
tions than in 1889. owing to the division of the 
Great Sioux Reservation, as provided by act 
of March 2, 1889. 

The agreements ratified by act of congress 



approved February 13, 1891, restored to the 
public domain 391,184.66 acres from the Sac 
and Fox Reservations, in Oklahoma, including 
25,194.61 acres for school purposes; and from 
the Iowa Reservation, in the same territory, 
219.44(5.27 acres, including 12.271.75 acres for 
school purposes. The ratification of agree- 
ments by the act of March 3, 1891, restored to 
the public domain from the Pottawatomie 
Reservation, Oklahoma, 309.134.77 acres, includ- 
ing 22,650.44 for school purposes; from the 
Cheyenne and Arapahoe Reservation, Okla- 
homa, about 3,000.000 acres; from the Cffiur 
d'Alene Reservation, Idaho, about 185,000 
acres; from the Fort Berthold Reservation, 
North Dakota, about 1,600,000 acres; from the 
Lake Traverse Reservation. South Dakota, 
about 660,000 acres, and from the Crow Reserv- 
ation. Montana, about 1,800,000 acres; a total of 
about 8,164,765 acres. 



THE CHILEAN WAR. 



It may be too soon to say which of the con- 
tending parties in the Chilean civil war were 
in the rignt, although it may be easy to trace 
the causes that led up to that contest. 

The government of Chile is republican, not 
very unlike our own. It is based upon a con- 
stitution which prescribes the duties and 
powers of the president and the congress. 
The late war grew out of a dispute between 
the president and congress as to the interpre- 
tation of the constitution. 

Article 50 of the constitution of Chile de- 
clares that the president of the republic shall 
hold the administration of the state and be 
supreme chief of the nation, and the follow- 
ing extract from article 71 is much to the same 
purport- "To the president of the republic is 
confided the administration and the govern- 
ment of the state, and his authority extends 
to everything having for its object the pres- 
ervation of public order at home and the se- 
curity of the republic abroad, he observing 
and exacting observance of the constitution 
and the laws." 

This constitution clearly Intrusts the chief 
magistrate with powers unheard of in any- 
parliamentary governments outside Spanish 
America, and it is hard to see just where Bal- 
maceda exceeded his authority, or until the 
trouble had culminated in war at any rate. 

He clearly had the right to select his own 
ministers and of appointing to all offices in 
the executive departments, and this right had 
never before been questioned, but bad always 



been exercised by his predecessors. The con 
stitutioo of Chile was adopted May 25. 183:?, 
and the sovereignty is by it declared to reside 
with the people; but during the sixty years of 
her existence as a constitutionally governed 
nation the fact has been far otherwise, for 
the destinies of the country have been for all 
this time practically in the hands of an oli- 
garchy composed of the leading territorial 
families, back of whom again were the clergy, 
who have had more than a little to do with 
the direction of Chilean affairs. 

As was natural, the minority was dissatis- 
fied with this state of affairs, and a small po- 
litical party existed which opposed the polit- 
ical order of things in Chile. The war with 
Peru greatly strengthened the minority and 
gave to Chile a patriotic sentiment and na- 
tional pride which it had never before pos- 
sessed. To this growing democratic senti- 
ment the hitherto feeble liberals addressed 
themselves, and with such success that at the 
presidential election in September, 1886, Jose 
Manuel Balmaceda, a great liberal leader, and 
a man of the people, was elected to the presi- 
dency, and with this election the contest be- 
gan which ended finally in the war which has 
raged throughout the entire summer. 

Quarrels soon started between the presi- 
dent and legislative bodies, growing more and 
more serious as time went on. until a com- 
plete deadlock was established between them 
and the situation became very much like that 
in England when King Charles and the long 



60 



CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC FOB 1892. 



parliament were at loggerheads, although 
President Balmaceda seems to have kept 
within the written limits at least of his pre- 
rogative, while the British monarch went far 
beyond his. 

The legislative branch of the government 
concluded that the only way to force the 
president to recede from the position he had 
taken was to withhold supplies, salaries and 
the like. It also refused to pass the law 
"fixing the forces by land and sea" which is 
passed annually, and did other extreme acts, 
to meet which the president was forced to 
equally extreme measures. As under the con- 
stitution a president could not succeed him- 
self, Balmaceda had selected Senor Santu- 
entes to become the candidate of his party 
for that office. Congress at once violently as- 
sailed the president's choice, wno was also 
secretary of the interior. At Balmaceda's 
own request Senor Santuentes resigned both 
his portfolio and his candidacy. The presi- 
dent next proposed that a convention be 
formed of members of all sections of the lib- 
eral party in order to decide upon a generally 
acceptable candidate, even allowing congress 
to decide what fractional majority of the 
whole number of votes should be necessary 
to decide such candidature. Congress re- 
jected this proposal after a single day's con- 
sideration, and repeatedly refused to vote 
supplies or to pass the military and marine 
bill just referred to. Finally, in the early 
days of December, congress threatened to 
impeach the previous ministry, which, accord- 
Ing to law, would debar the president from 
dissolving or proroguing congress until such 
ministers had either been acquitted or con- 
victed, the intention evidently being to pro- 
long Its own session. At this, and before the 
threatened impeachment was formulated, 
President Balmaceda abruptly dissolved con- 
gress, when nothing was left save a resort to 
arms, and both sides immediately commenced 
active preparations for the strife. This was 
the situation at the opening of last winter. A 
large number of the officers of the navy sym- 
pathized with the congressionalists. and the 
great majority of pure whites and people of 
unmixed Spanish blood also sided with them, 
while Balmaceda's following was largely 
among the more ignorant half-breeds or 
Mestizos, though his officers, both civil and 
military, were equal to those of his ene- 
mies. 

The independent or opposition members of 
the senate and house or deputies met Jan. 1, 
1891, and signed a solemn act declaring the 
president no longer head of the state or pres- 
ident of the republic, as he was unworthy of 
his post and had violated the constitution. 
This ocument, practically a declaration of 
war, was taken on board the Chilean men-of- 
war, and on Jan. 7 the navy steamed into Val- 
paraiso bay and declared itself in support of 
the legislative power in the name of the peo- 
ple and in the name of the law and against 



Balmaceda. It was expected the army would 
f9llow the example of the navy, but this it 
did not do; it remained loyal to the president. 
The insurgents were composed of the aristo- 
cratic families, supported by the Roman 
Catholic Church and very many British resi- 
dents. The great mass of the people and the 
army adhered to Balmaceda. The insurgents 
could establish no footing at Valparaiso or 
Santiago, but they had the wisdom to go 
north and seize the nitrate fields that Chile 
had conquered from Peru, and they made 
Iquique their base of operations. The product 
of these nitrate fields kept them in funds to 
carry on the war. 

Chile being a country of only four or five 
million people a narrow elongated strip of 
seacoast the insurgents were fortunate in 
holding most of the navy and in obtaining the 
nitrate beds, which are the richest resources 
in the country. There was during the season 
hard fighting in the north, with the ad- 
vantages generally on the side of the in- 
surgents, who established themselves in 
Iquique, Pisaqua and Antofagasta. Balma- 
ceda had the larger army, but he lacked a 
navy and funds to carry on the war. 

Late in August the insurgents decided to 
push the war to a close. They knew that the 
president was expecting two iron-clad war 
vessels from Europe, which would enable him 
to contend with them on more equal terms. 
An attempt was made to force a decisive bat- 
tle before their arrival. Valparaiso was in- 
vulnerable against a naval attack. On the 
21st of August the insurgents landed every 
available man they had at Concon, about ten 
miles north of Valparaiso, where they at- 
tacked the president's forces the day follow- 
ing. The battle was a fierce one, there being 
about twenty thousand men on each side en- 
gaged, and the president was defeated. He 
rallied his shattered forces under cover of the 
forts and made his last stand at Placillo on 
the 28th. The carnage was frightful, owing to 
the effective rifles of the insurgents. Balma- 
ceda lost both his generals. He was forced to 
retreat and his defeat was complete. Valpa- 
raiso was taken, Santiago soon capitulated, 
and Balmaceda was a helpless fugitive. He 
remained in hiding at the embassy of the 
Argentine Republic until the morning of 
Sept. 19, when he commited suicide in the 
building of the Argentine legation. From the 
fact that neither faction acted under the 
forms of law, it is not worth while to pass 
judgment upon the merits of the controversy. 
That the opposition drove Balmaceda to the 
most high-handed and unconstitutional meas- 
ures is obvious, but constitutions are made 
for times of peace, as we found in our last 
war. Until he was so violently opposed his 
reforms were of the most salutary and sweep- 
ing character, but for his later acts of tyranny 
there is no apology. The Spanish and Indian 
blood in his veins was not conducive to the 
calmness of the Anglo-Saxon. 



THE NICARAGUA CANAL. 



The idea of joining the Atlantic and Pacific 
oceans by a canal through the intermediary 
basin of Lake Nicaragua originated with An- 
tonio Galvano in 1550. But as the commerce 
of the world did not require such a work it 
was chiefly of interest to engineers and navi- 
gators. The discovery of gold in California 
in 1848 made a new and quicker route from 
the east to the west an imperative necessity, 
and the various routes across the country be- 
tween Mexico and South America became 
the subjects of much interest and discussion. 

The completion of the Panama railroad in 
1865 increased rather than supplied the neces- 



sity for a more comprehensive mode of inter- 
oceanic transportation and several expedi- 
tions went out to look for the most desirable 
and feasible route between the two oceans. 
In 1872-3, 1876-7 and 1885 expeditions for the 
exploration, and location of routes were dis- 
patched to Nicaragua by the United States 
government. Some of these surveys occu- 
pied the period of years and by that in 1872-3 
eight different routes were examined. The 
deliberate and final determination of the gov- 
ernment in favor of the Nicaragua route 
dates from 1876. Private individuals had. be- 
fore this decision of the government, adopted

the same route and had undertaken the 
construction of a ship canal. The first con- 
cession to build such a canal along the route 
now proposed was granted by the govern- 
ment of Nicaragua in 1849 to the Atlantic and 
Pacific Ship Canal company. This company did 
nothing, and was succeeded by the Central 
American Transit Company which is still in 
existence, and claims certain rights and privi- 
leges from the company now engaged in con- 
structing the work. These claims have been 
denied both by the Nlcaraguan government, 
and our own. A treaty to permit the con- 
struction of a canal across Nicaragua was 
signed between the United States arc. the re- 
public of Nicaragua Dec. 1, 1884, bu* it was not 
ratified within the stipulated period of two 
years. The American Atlantic and Pacific Ship 
Canal company was organized in 1886 and ob- 
tained the exclusive right to build, own and 
manage a canal across Nicaragua for eighty- 
five years from its completion but as nothing 
was done, the government of Nicaragua de- 
clared its charter invalid in 1887. In March 
1887 a contract was signed with Nicaragua se- 
curing to a New York association exclusive 
right of way through the territory of the re- 
public for the construction of a ship-canal 
between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. The 
route chosen had been surveyed several 
times and had been approved as the most 
practical route for such a canal through the 
isthmus by a government commission con- 
sisting of the chief engineers of the army, 
the chief of the bureau of navigation and 
the superintendent of the coast survey. 

The New York association became the Mar- 
itime Canal Company of Nicaragua which 



had been chartered by the state of Vermont, 
and incorporated by congress in February 
1889. The company engaged to build the 
canal to completion before 1900. Work was 
begun at once, and in its first year the com- 
pany expended more than $3,000,000. The 
route of the canal is 1(39.8 miles in length but 
only 28.9 miles can really be called a canal. It 
begins at Greytown, on the eastern side, fol- 
lows the course of the San Juan river above 
Ochoa through Lake Nicaragua, a distance of 
129 miles, and thence to the narbor of Brito, 
the Pacific terminus. The surface of the 
lake, 110 feet above the sea, is the summit 
level. At the eastern end of the lake the 
San Juan river will be backed up and kept at 
the lake level by a dam for a distance of sixty- 
four miles, thus forming an extension of the 
lake which will have a width of 1000 feet and 
a depth of from 28 to 130 feet. There are 
ninety miles of lake navigation very wide 
and deep. From the point where the canal 
leaves the 'ake on the west to Brito, seven- 
teen miles, there will be three locks. Over 
this portion of the route some rock cutting, 
and dredging will be required. The canal 
itself is to be eighty feet wide at the bottom 
in deep cuts, and 120 feet wide In the enlarged 
sections. The estimated cost of the canal Is 
$64,000,000 which includes also electric lighting 
and railroads for transportation of canal sup- 
plies, and the time for completion is fixed at 
six years. It is estimated that at least 5,000,000 
tons of shipping will be ready to seek transit 
through the canal by 1902, with tolls at the rate 
of $2.50 a ton a revenue of $12,500,000 would be 
received. It is believed $500,000 a year will 
cover ordinary operating expenses. 



AUSTRALIAN CONFEDERATION. 

Events leading up to it. Synopsis of the Constitutions as drawn. 



The most important political event in the 
world's history since the declaration of Inde- 
pendence by the American colonies, is the 
Australasian confederation which was ac- 
complished in 1891. Unlike the American col- 
onies which declared and achieved their inde- 
pendence of the mother country by a long 
and bloody war the colonies on the continent 
of Australia will, by their confederation, ac- 
quire their independence peaceably but no 
less perfectly. It is the very generally ac- 
cepted belief that confederation will sooner 
or later result in a total separation of the 
Australian colonies from the British empire. 
As long ago as 1849 the British colonial office 
made provision in one of its measures for the 
possible creation of a general assembly for 
two or more of the colonies in Australia. The 
house of lords declined to accede to the pro- 
posal and Lord Grey informed the colonies 
that the government had abandoned this por- 
tion of its measure because some of the col- 
onies objected to it and New South Wales did 
not care for it. The matter rested quiet until 
1853 when Mr. Wentworth, premier for the 
colony, in drawing up a new constitution for 
New South Wales, suggested federation to 
the extent of a power to legislate, by a gen- 
eral assembly, on all subjects which might be 
submitted to it by addresses from the coun- 
cils or assemblies of other colonies. This 
plan also provided for a federal revenue and 
a general court of appeals. In 1857 Mr. Went- 
worth went to London to advocate his scheme 
which became the germ of the idea which 
later took form in the federal council of Aus- 
tralia. The idea of Mr. Wentworth was seized 
upon by Sir Henry Parkes who carried it for- 
ward to its fullest realization and who, more 
than any other one man, is to be credited with 
the confederation of Australia. 

In 1881 a colonial conference assembled 
which resulted in the act of parliament of 



1883 by which a federal council for the Aus- 
tralian colonies was established. New South 
Wales however refused to join the council, 
and it became inoperative from want of the 
authority of that colony. In 1889 an officer 
of the British army was detailed to make a 
report upon the military forces of the Aus- 
tralian colonies, and this report was made use 
of by Sir Henry Parkes to further his plans 
for confederation. Mr. Parkes, who was the 
premier of New South Wales, went to Queens- 
land where he had an interview with Sir Sam- 
uel Griffith, and Sir Thomas Mcllwraith upon 
the subject of confederation. Being assured 
of the support of Queensland he consulted 
with Victoria and the other colonies. 

The result of these interviews was the con- 
ference of 1890 which met at Melbourne in 
February of that year. The conference was 
attended by representatives from all the Aus- 
tralian colonies and from New Zealand. The 
delegates from New Zealand decided that they 
could not come into the confederation. An 
effort was made to induce New Zealand and 



Fiji to become parts of the confederation, but 
failed. Federation resolutions, for appoint- 
ing delegates to a conference to be held in 
Sydney in 1891, were passed by all the Austra- 
lian parliaments in 1890, and March of the 
present year the conference began its work. 

When the conference met Mr. Parkes of 
New South Wales was made its president, and 
conducted its deliberations with the most 
consummate skil 1 and ability. There were very 
many and diverse interests to harmonize, and 
it is a marvel that a constitution could be 
agreed upon. The conference closed its la- 
bors on the 9th of April, having finished a 
constitution in many respects like that of the 
United States. 

The salient points of the constitution are as 
follows: The federation shall be known as 
the Commonwealth of Australia, and the 



132

colonies be called states. The legislature is 
to consist of a senate and a house of repre- 
sentatives, to be called a parliament. The 
governor-general will be appointed by the 
queen, and receive a salary of not less than 
10,000. The members of parliament before 
taking seats are to make oath of or affirma- 
tion of allegiance to the queen. The parlia- 
ments are to be held as appointed by the gov- 
ernor, but there is to be a session of parlia- 
ment at least once every year, so that twelve 
months shall not intervene between two sit- 
tings of parliament. The senate is to be com- 
posed of eight members of each state, chosen 
by the house of parliament of each state. 
Senators will be chosen for six years, one- 
half the members to retire every three years. 
The president of the senate is to be chosen 
by the senate. He is to be in all cases entitled 
to a vote, and when voting is equal the ques- 
tion is to pass in the negative. The house of 
representatives will be chosen by the people 
of the several states in proportion to their 
numbers, each state to have one representa- 
tive for every 30,000 people; but the minimum 
number of representatives for each state will 
be four. The speaker is to be elected by the 
house of representatives, and when the votes 
are equal, but not otherwise, the speaker is 
to have a casting vote. The life of the house 
of representatives is to be three years. Par- 
liament must be called together not later 
than thirty days after the dav appointed for 
return of writs for a general election. Mem- 
bers of both houses are to receive an allow- 
ance of 500 ($2,500) per annum, and the usual 
penalty clauses are provided to meet cases 
where a member is under disabiliity to sit. 
No member of the house of representatives 
is to hold any office of proflt under the crown, 
but ministers are not to be compelled to offer 
themselves for re-election. 
The powers of parliament as to the making 



of laws include the regulation of coinage, 
trade and commerce, and are in general the 
same as delegated to congress by the consti- 
tution of the United States, Appropriation 
or tax bills must be sent down by message 
from the governor. The governor-general is 
to assent to all measures, and have the power 
of reserving any bill for the queen's approval. 
The queen, in council, may disallow any bill 
within two years alter its receipt. 

The executive power of the commonwealth 
is to be vested in the queen, and exercised by 
the governor-general as the queen's represen- 
tative. The governor is to be advised by an 
executive council, consisting of a ministry 
whose number is not to exceed seven. The 
ministers are to be members of the federal 
executive council and the queen's ministers 
of state for the commonwealth. They may 
sit in either house of parliament, and 15,000 
per annum is set apart for the payment 
of their salaries until other provision is 
made. 

The supreme court is to consist of a chief 
justice and not less than four other justices, 
to be appointed by parliament and hold office 
during good behavior. 

As soon as a uniform tariff has been im- 
posed, inter-colonial free trade is to prevail 
between all colonies. The revenue collected 
is to be applied in defraying the expenses of 
the federal government, after which parlia- 
ment is to decide the manner in which the 
surplus is to be divided. Parliament may 
make provision for the consolidating of the 
whole or any part of the debts of the states. 
The states are to retain all powers which they 
at present possess, with the exception of 
those expressly delegated to the federal par- 
liament. 

The constitution is to be submitted to the 
colonies, and must then receive the sanction 
of the British parliament.

NEW WEATHER SIGNALS. 



NEW WEATHER SIGNALS, 



WHITE 



WHITS 




The department of agriculture has issued a 
new code of weather signals by which it is de- 
signed to give wider currency to the weather 
reports of the signal service. The flags or 
signals are made of tin, painted white, blue 
or black, and their size, shape and color, with 
the code of signals, will be as follows: 

No. 1-White flag, six feet square, will indi- 
cate clear or fair weather. 

No. 2 Blue flag, six feet square, will indi- 
cate rain or snow. 

No. 3 White and blue flag, six feet square, 
will indicate that local rains or showers will 
occur, and that the rainfall will not be general. 

JVc. 4 Black, triangular flag, four feet at the 
base and six feet long, always refers to tem- 
perature. When placed above flags 1, 2 or 3 it 
will indicate warmer weather. When placed 
below the numbers it will indicate colder 
weather. When it is not displayed the indica- 
tions are that the temperature will remain sta- 
tionary, or that the change in temperature 
will not vary more than 4 degress from the 
temperature of the same hour of the preced- 
ing day from March to October, inclusive, and 
not more than 6 degrees for the remaining 
months of the year. 

No. 5 White flag, six feet square, with black 
square in center, will indicate the approach 
of a sudden and decided fall in temperature. 
This signal will not be displayed unless it is 
expected that the temperature will fall to 42 
degrees or lower, and will be ordered dis- 
played at least twenty-four hours in advance 
of the cold wave. When No. 5 is displayed 
No. 4 is always omitted. 

When displayed on poles the signals will be 
arranged to read downward; when displayed 
on horizontal supports a small streamer will 
be attached to indicate the point from which 
the signals are to be read. 

No. 1, alone Fair weather, stationary tem- 
perature. 

No. 2. alone Rain or snow, stationary tem- 
perature. 

No. 3, alone Local rain, stationary temper- 
ature. 

No. 1, 'With No. 4 above it-Fair weather, 
warmer. 

No. 1, with No. 4 belmv it Fair weather, 
colder. 

No. 2, ivith No. 4 above ^"Warmer weather, 
rain or snow. 

N>>. 2, with No. 4 below it Colder weather, 
rain or snow. 

No. 3, with No. 4 above it Warmer weather, 
local rains. 

No. 3, with No. 4 below it Colder weather, 
local rains. 

No. 1, with No. 5 above it Fair weather, cold 
wave. 

A WATERPROOF blacking which will give a 
fine polish without rubbing, and will not Injure 
the leather: 18 parts beeswax, 6 parts sperma- 
ceti, Cfi parts oil of turpentine. 5 parts asphalt 
varnish, 1 part powdered borax, 5 parts Frank- 
fort black, 2 parts Prussian blue. 1 part nitro- 
benzol. Melt the wax, add the powdered 



No. 2, with No. 5 above it Wet weather, cold 
wave. 

The department will also make arrange- 
ments to nave the flags displayed on railroad 
cars. The starting points of the trains on all 
the railroads will be supplied every morning 
with the forecast, and one man on each train 
will be assigned to the duty of displaying the 
flags. When the public has made itself fa- 
miliar with the code every person can ascer- 
tain the forecast by looking at any passing 
train. 

A plan has also been devised to have loco- 
motives and factories whistle the forecast for 
the information of farmers who live too far 
away to see the flags. 

Notification will be given in every town and 
village where there is a steam whistle that at a 
certain hour every day the whistle will sound 
the signal to indicate the probable weather 
for the ensuing twenty-four hours. Factories 
will receive the forecast by telegraph and lo- 
comotive engineers will receive it at their 
starting point. 

The warning signal to attract attention will 
be what is called the long blast, lasting twenty 
seconds. After this signal has been sounded, 
blasts of from four to six seconds duration 
will refer to the weather; short blasts of three 
seconds each will refer to the temperature, 
those for the weather to be sounded first, like 
this: 

One long blast indicates fair weather; two 
long blasts, rain or snow: three long blasts, 
local rains; one short blast, lower tempera- 
ture; two short blasts, higher temperature; 
three short blasts, cold wave. 

One long, alone, Fair weather, stationary 
temperature. 

Two long, alone Rain or snow, stationary 
temperature. 

One long and one short Fair weather, lower 
temperature. 

Two long and two short Rain or snow, 
higher temperature. 

One long and three short Fair weather, cold 
wave. 

Three long and two short Local rains, higher 
temperature. 

Each combination will be repeated a few 
times, with an interval of ten seconds be- 
tween. This will avoid the possibility of any 
error in ascertaining the forecast. 

Some difficulty may arise with regard to the 
locomotive whistles. Engineers have to give 
railroad signals, and the public mind may be- 
come confused by the two, but it is thought 
this difficulty can be overcome. 

It is expected to have the system in full 
operation before 1892. 

borax, and stir until a kind of jelly has been 
formed. In another pan melt the spermaceti, 
add the asphalt varnish, previously mixed 
with the oil of turpentine, stir well, and add 
to the wax. Lastly add the color, pre- 
viously rubbed smooth with a little of the 
mass. The nitro-benzol gives fragrance.

POPULATION OF ILLINOIS. 



POPULATION OF ILLINOIS, 1890-1880. 



The following table gives the population of 
the state of Illinois In detail by counties, 
townships or precincts, cities, wards of cities, 
towns and villages, according to the official 
count of the returns made under the eleventh 
census (1890). The population of the same 
divisions, according to the census of 1880, is 
also given for purposes of comparison. 
The population of the state In 1880 was 3,077,- 
871. In 1890 the population returned was 
3,826 t 351, an Increase of 748,480, or 24.32 per 
cent. Of the 102 counties in the state, thirty 
show slight decreases. 

There has been a very large increase In 
urban population in the state since the 
enumeration in 1880. Under the tenth census 
(1880) there were thirty-eight cities and towns 
having a population of 4,000 or more, with an 
aggregate population of 844,462. Under the 
present census there are forty-seven cities, 
towns and villages having a population of 
4,000 or more, with an aggregate population of 
1 ,604,943. Thus an Increase is shown in the ag- 



gregate population in cities of this size of 
760,481, or 90.06 per cent. Of thes " 
places two only show decreases. 



The largest 

increase numerically is found in Chicago, 
which has increased 596,665, or 118.58 per cent 
during the decade. Large increases are also 
found in Pe.oria, Rockford, Joliet, Elgin, Au- 
rora, Decatur and Streator. The largest pe - 
ventages of increase are found In Austin, Oak 
Park, Streator, Chicago, Elgin, Joliet, Rock- 
ford and Decatur. Population of Illinois 
cities will be found on page 87 

Changes have been made in the official 
Igures for Bloomington and Jacksonville, it 
having been discovered in the more recent 
critical examination of the returns that parts 
af enumeration districts should be included 
which had been wrongly returned, and conse- 
quently not included in the population of 
those places. 

The table also shows the population of each 
jounty in detail by minor civil divisions, in- 
cluding all incorporated places and places not 
ncorporated having a population of 500 or 
nore, so far as it has been possible to make 
;he separation from the returns of the enu- 
merators:

OUR CENTER OF POPULATION. 



It appears from a bulletin issued by the 
United States census office that this point was 
situated June 1, 1890, in 39 degrees 11 minutes 
and 56 seconds north latitude and 85 degrees 
32 minutes 53 seconds west longitude, a point 
twenty miles east of Columbus, Ind. In the 
ten years preceding, it moved forty-eight miles 
west and nine miles north. From the begin- 



ning in 1790, this point has clung close to the 
parallel of 39 degrees, the greatest variation 
being less than 19 minutes. The movement 
west in each decade has been as follows. 
1790-1800, 41 miles; 1800-1810, 86 miles; 1810-20, 
50 miles; 1820-30, 39 miles; 1830-40, 55 miles; 
1840-50, 55 miles; 1350-60, 81 miles; 1860-70, 42

THE NATIONAL LEAGUE FOR THE PROTECTION OF AMERICAN INSTITUTIONS. 



President John Jay. 

Willi 
H. Parsons. 



Vice-Presidents William Strong, William 



Gene al ecretary James M. King. 

Treasurer William Fellowes Morgan. 

Law Committee William Allen Butler, Dor- 
man B. Eaton, Cephas Brainerd, Henry E. 
Howland and Stephen A. Walker. 

Offices 140 Nassau street, New York. 

The league, which is entirely non-partisan 
and unsectarian, was incorporated Dec. 24, 
"~ under an act of the New York legislature. 
Its objects are "to secure constitutional and 
legislative safeguards for the protection of 
the common school system and other Ameri- 
can institutions, and to promote public in- 
struction in harmony with such institutions, 
and to prevent all sectarian or denomina- 
tional appropriations of public funds." As an 
Important step to this end, the league pro- 
poses to secure the passage of the following 
amendment to the constitution of the United 
States: "No state shall pass any law respect- 



ing an establishment of religion or prohibit- 
ing the free exercise thereof, or use its prop- 
erty or credit, or any money raised by taxa- 
tion, or authorize either to be used for the 
purpose of founding, maintaining or aiding 
by appropriation payment for services, ex- 
penses or otherwise, any church, religious de- 
nomination or religious society, or any in-ti- 
tution, society or undertaking which is wholly 
or in part under sectarian or ecclesiastical 
control." 

It will also endeavor to secure similar 
amendments to the state constitutions. 

The league has been in active operation 
since May, 1890, and already has many thou- 
sands of adherents distributed throughout 
every state and territory. Many religious and 
patriotic organizations have formally ap- 
proved its principles. 

Auxiliary leagues are being organized and 
local secretaries appointed in all the states, 
and correspondence and co-operation is in- 
vite 1 from thoughtful citizens throughout the 
country.
