LIVE FOR SOMETHING.

Live for something; be not idle,
Look about thee for employ;
Sit not down to useless dreaming
Labor is the sweetest JOY.
Folded hands are ever weary,
Selfish hearts are never gay,
Life for thee has many duties
Active be, then, while you may.
Scattered blessings in thy pathway,
Gentle words and cheering smiles
Better are than gold or silver,
With their grief dispclling wiles.
As the pleasant sunshine fallcth
Ever on the grateful earth.
So let sympathy and kindness
GLADDEN. well the darkcncd earth.
Hearts that are oppressed and weary,
Drop the tear of sympathy;
Whisper words Of hope and comfort,
Give and thy reward shall be
.Jov unto thy soul returning
From this perfect fountain head,
Frrriv as thou freely givcst
Shall the grateful light he shed.

and glarng discrepancies in the var Gus stats
men s as to the amount Of the public debt Mr..
Davis resolution to refer to a special 60 iamittee
has always been defeated by the Republicans,
and yesterday it was laid on the table. In his
Davis has shown very conclusively that there
has been some very bungling IL not dishonest,
work on the Treasury books especially in Bout
wells time. Boutwell, once admitted that up to
1869 there was no check upon the accounts ofthe
Register of the Treasury "a to the public debt
but during his term Of office there was no better
condition of affairs, as 1t Is impossible to re-
concile the difference In the public debt state
ment1, and in 1874 there difference Of
sl35 900 between the r gisters and Treas
urer's repors. According to Senator Davis
statement, after his investigation in 1870, the
total expenditures were secretly increased by
1921 $40, and the increase was added in por-
tions TO-, the. ye ,rs 1862, 1863. 1854 and

by moving that the Senate go into executive

Appointments and changes.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 22-J. Madison Wells. OF
New Orleans. who is here. had an interview to.
day with SAcre ary Sherman. 1t is not known
outside Of official circles. whether he IS in the
interest of Packard or Collector King, OF
whether he supper the claims of Gen. Ander-
son, his Returning Board colleague. for the
colactorship. The friends of Packard are
earnestly pushing bis claim for that office, and
express confidence in his success.
1t is said that the President is anxious to do
something for Packard, and may bA induced to
send In his name, instead of Kings The
majority Of the Republicans in the Senate are
understood to favor Packard, and the Treasury
officia regard his chances as good. The mat
ter will very likely be considered at the regular
session OF the Cabinet tomorrow.
The prot tracted and obstinate struggle over
the Georgia maTshaship, has at last reached a
definite result. The President with all the
papers advancing the claims of fifty nine ap-
pllcants for the position before him. has de-
cided to appoint Mr.. Fitzsimmons. nephew of
Gov. Wade Hampton. of South Carolina, whose
name will be submitted to the Senate during
the present week.
. Mr.. Berther and other friends of Collector
Freeland, of Brooklyn. New York, have sue
ceeded in delaying final decision on his
case until morrow, when it is believed the
President will affirm the recommendation of
the Secretary of the Treasury and the Commits
sloner of Internal Revenue and appoint a sue
cessor to Mr.. FreelaDd. The recommendation
for the change is not based on anything relat-
ing to Mr.: Freeland's character The change
in the collectorship will involve a complete re-
anzation of the collectors Office including
the appointment of a new deputy collector.

Senator Jones' Financial Proposition.
[Chicago Times.J

WAsHINGToN. Oct Ex-senator Jones intends
ito / troduce, in the next two or three days. a
bill remonetizng the silver dollar. The bill to
be introduced by Senator Jones merely restores
the old standard, making silver legal tender.
He claims to have canvassed the Senate in such
way as to be certain of the passage of the bill,
and it is equally certain that it will go through
even with less opposition in the House. The
President has already announced himself as in
c!ined to look favoraby upon remone'i ization Of
silver and Senator Jone, thinks that If the
bill is passed by q large majority in Congress,
the President would not venture upon vetoing
it.
Senator Cockrell of Missouri, says that he is
