Will not help Mr. Buckner. Il is not probable to-
night that he get the rules suspended, and If he
fails then his scheme will suffer the delay of week.
because motion suspend the rules is In order only
Mondays
There seems 10 be no doubt that the nnationsts on
the committee republicans as well as democrats, are
determined TO push through their two schemes-that
or Mr. Ewing and tho Unlimited Silver bill--if they
possibly can There also little doubt that they will
fail They themselves admit that II they get their
measures through the House they Will fail IN the Sen
ate and in this they are probably right.
Both bills would be sent TO the Senate
Committee on Finance. This consists Of Morrill,, Of
vermont Dawes, Ferry, Jones, OF Nevada; Allison,
Howe, republicans; aud Wallace, Bayard and Herman,
democrats. OF thesc all, except perhaps Mr.. Ferry,
would oppose the Ewing BILL and the silver bill would
supported only by Messrs jones' OF Nevada; Ferry,
and perhaps Allison All the rest are undoubtedly
sound But this shows that the naationst and silver
leaders in the House kicking up this great fuss
mainly for consumption In tho home market They
cannot believe themselves engaged in practical legis
lation
The silver bill Is almost certain to fail in both
houses. Tho Ewing bill will fail II Is debated, and
IL appears certain that Mr. Ewing cannot get out
OF the morning hour without agreeing to submit the
bill to general debate in the Committee Of tho Whole.
This is the position OF these bills tonight.

A Simple Cure for Drunkenness.

a Brooklyn. man writes to the New
York Sun: I drank more intoxicating
liquor from the year 1857 to the last day
of 1873 than any other person ever
knew or heard of; and in the meantime,
knowing this sure cure, did not practice
it on myself, but for fun, did practice it
on many others, and effected permanent
cures. The remedy of the cure is this:
When a person finds he must have a
drink, let him take drink of water, say
two or three swallows, as often as the
thirst or craving may desire. Let him
continue this practice. His old chums
will laugh: bat let him persevere, and it
will not be week before the appetite
for any kind Of stimulant will disappear
altogether, and water be taken to quench
the natural thirst. If at any time the
victim should feel craving, let him take
the first opportunity and obtain a swal-
low of water, and he can pass and repass
all saloons. When he goes home at
night he will feel satisfied and be sober
and have money in his pocket l com
menced this practice the first day OF 1874,
and never think of taking drink Of
stimulant,

Why They Often Fail.

Young men often fail to get on in this
world because they neglect small oppor-
tunities. Not being faithful in little
things, they are not promoted TO the
charge of greater things.
A young man who gets a subordinate
situation sometimes thinks it is not
necessary for him to give it much atten-
ton. he will wait till he gets place
of responsibility, and then he will show
people w.. at he can do. This is a very
GREAT mistake. Whatever his situation
maybe, he should master it in all it's
details, and perform all its duties faith
fully.
The habit of doing his work thorough.
" and conscientiously is what is most
likely to enable young man to make
his way. With this habit, person OF
only ordinary abilities would outstr1p
one of greater talents who is in the
habit of sighting subordinate matters.
But, after all, the mere adoption by a
young man, of this great essential rule
Of success, shows him to be possessed OF
superior abilities.
