House, yesterday, stood, Field, 1913 (all
democrats); Shields, 1ol, TALL republic
cans but Springer); Trent 5, cast by
Fret, Bayne, Evans, Randolph and
Bagley.
Field was sworn in, taking the mod
flied oath. Afterwards a bill was in
troduced by Clark, of Mo-, placing
Shields on the retired list as a Briga-
dier General.
White, Penn objected.
Clark moved. to suspend the rules
and pass the bill.
Whites point of order that it was
without precedent, was overruled,
and the bill passed-228 toe.
OF course this is tub thrown to the
Irish whale, but we will see how well
it works when it comes to another
presidential election.

The Sioux City Journal, referring to
the discussion in the republican press
about what kind of platform we
should adopt at the coming State Con-
vention, says:
The platform to be adopted at Des
Moines in June should be free of pas
sion, free of personalism, strong and
comprehensive in its declarations, and
embOdy only republicanism : not
Hayesism nor anti Hayesism. There
can be no occasion for a platform of q
different sort. The fidelity of the
President as republican may be
widely questioned, If you please; but
the fidelity Of the republicanism Of
Iowa is nowhere questioned. The
good sense and wisdom of the Presi-
dents policy may be nowhere rec
ognized, if you choose; but nothing
in this in any degree compromises the
character of the republicanism OF
Iowa. If the President could be
goaded into a passion, he would do his
enemies great service; and it is no less
the part Of wisdom for the republicans
Of Iowa to keep their temper and to
their dignity.

that have come from Europe may be
gained from the fact that the trade
balance, during February alone, was
over $33, 900, 900 in our favor, and for
the first eight months of the fiscal
year over sl7l ,oOO,O in our favor.
Making full allowance for the amount
due to Europe on our interest account,
the Bulletin thinks it cannot but be
concluded that the bond importations
since Congress met have amounted to
fully 500, 100000.
That is the way, reader, we are now
paying the foreign debt we owe. 1t is
our surplus that we are sending to Eu-
rope; we are selling so much more
than we buy. If it was not for this
debt we owe, one hundred millions OF
specie would have been sent to the
United States i'm the last six months
to pay this balance of trade in our IA
vor. AS it is they payitin our bonds.
The case is precisely the same as it is
with one ofour farmers who, on account
Of the three bad crop years, may have
got In debt, and If this year, he raises
a good crop, yet he won't be able,
with the proceeds to build barn for
instance, because the money he would
otherwise take home on the sale of
his crop, he will not take home at all,
but pay out ON his debts. re

We call attention to the speech we
publish to-day of the Hon. VIM. p.
Frye, Of Maine, made in the House
last week. It is rich and racy, and
will repay the reading thirty fold. 1t
was delivered upon the resolution
pending for the dismissal of Polk the
democratic doorkeeper of the House,
and in the brief time allotted him, he
showed how Polk had filled up the
roll of crippled soldier employees.
Polk had on his roll of employees 60
men than the law allowed. If we
average their pay at 500 apiece which
would perhaps be very moderate
average their total pay would anfaunt
to A4,lDO yearly, that he was paying
out contrary to law, and perhaps a
fair share of it finding lodging place
in his own pocket, and yet he Is a
good democratic reformer. Don't fail
TO read the speech, and we especially
,all the attention of soldiers to it.

BEN BUTLER tossed one of his
bricks among the democrats of the
House yesterday, 9Th inst. He NOV
ed that the House elect as doorkeeper
to fill the place of the disgraced and
corrupt Polk, Gen. James Shields, of
Mo. The democracy had tried two
of their own selection, viz: Fitzhugh
and Polk, and both had turned out
such scoundrels that Butler essayed to
help the democracy out by naming
one of the old veterans of the Next
can war, and one who was a democrat
in the days when democracy was not
a "putrid "Reminiscences" 1t would
be giving aid, too, to an old veteran
in need, as recently Congress has pass
ed special act giving Shields pen
sion of $50 per month. That brick
took effect and staggered the democ-
racy; they, however, recovered, and
a strict party vote against him, by the
democrats, defeated the old soldier.
The whole history of the republican
party for twenty years in Congress
has never unearthed such patent dis
graceful corruption as has followed the
democracy in their choice of a door
keeper Of the House. If the demo-
Gratis of the House wanted an honest
and worthy man Of their own party,
this action in defeating the nomina.
ton Of Gen. Shields don't show it,
Gen. Shields was a gallant soldier Of
the Mexican war and was shot thro
the lungs. He was the compeer Of
Douglass in Illinois and U. 8. Sena.
tor from that State. He was also 6
Brigadier- General of the Union arm,
in the rebellion. 1t is in order for an,
decent democrat to defend the actor
of the democrats in refusing to Civ,
this gallant old man a well-deservet

The Old Rebel Yell.


A caucus of democratic members of
the house of representatives was held
last night, for the purpose of nomina-
ting a candidate for dOorkeeper. 1t
was determined not to submit to Ben
Buffers assumption of the leadership,
for the present, at least, and Ben's
candidate received only twenty votes,
was quite as many as could
be expected from that crowd, when it
is considered that the candidate was a
union soldier. The confederate brig
adiers preferred a man who wore their
own colors, and found one to suit in
the person of G. L. Field, of Georgia,
who commanded a division in Lees
army. That nomination was carried
with all the enthusiasm of the old
"rebel YELL"

SAN ANTONIO, Texas, April 6.--This
section has been omewhat excited
during the past few days over . pro-
posed combat Of an African lioness
and Texan bulls. The first happened
to-day just outside the city limits, be-
tween the lioness and an immense
Texan bull.
The lioness had been starved to
increase her ferocity. II was evident
that it was overdonc, and left her
weak and entirely at the mercy of
the bull, which in about ten minutes
had well-nigh gored her TO death.
The lionlss had but one hold on the
bull and that was at the beginning Of
the contest.
Tomorrow lion will be allowed
An opportunity to distinguish him
self with the same bull. He 10 said
to be in prime condition and very
ferocious.

Increasing Our stock OF Specie.


= Under the above caption the Mis-
souri, Republican, a leading daily
paper of st. Louis, and by the
way, one of the ablest and most hon.
orable democratic journals in the
country, has very sensible editorial
which we publish as follows:
A very important fact in connection
with resumption is the rapid accumu-
lation of gold and silver in the coun-
try. A few years ago, during the era
of extravaganza, we bought enor-
mOusly of EurOpe-iron, nails, ma.
chinery, woollen, cotton, leather and
silk manufactures, and the result was
we had to send abroad all our product
OF the precious metals to pay for the
excess of imports. But this Is chang
ed now. We are exporting more than
we import, we are selling more than
we buy, and therefore we do not have
occasion to send our gold and silver
abroad; we are keeping them at home
During the eight months ending with
March we exported products IL fha
amount of $46l, 200 600, and we i'm.
ported products to the amount of 5000
zoe, GOETHE excess of exports being
$l60, 900. The specie exports for the
period were go, 163, 900, and the i'm
ports 81 ,603, 600. This shows that we
exported 81, $40, 600 more gold and sill.
yer than we imported; but as GU,
mines yield about $S5, 900, 900 annual.
~, it is evident we are keeping the
bulk Of this yield at home instead Of
shipping it abroad, as we We're doing
a few years ago. In fact we are ac-
cumulating gold and silver at the rate
of %, OO6, 600 a month, or 81, OOO, 600 a
year, and paying off about $500. OOO.-
600 foreign indebtedness at the same
time. If we were buying more than
we are selling, and our product of spe-
Gle was being drained to pay for the
excess, resumption would be difficult
impossible-for gold and
silver would be scarce and high. But
the. fact that the balance of trade is in
our favor and our gold and silver is
retained at home tends to DESTROY the
premiunN on them and make them
undesirab {. They are becoming
abundant hid cheap. Secretary Sher.
