CONGRESSIONAL,
WASHINGTON, February IA.
SENATE.

After briet discussion the House
JOINT resolution declaring that reduc-
ton of tax on distilled spirits is inexpe.
dent was passed; yeas, 40; nays, 9.
Messrs. Bailey, Conover, Davis of West
Virginia, Dennis, McCresry, Merrimon,
Morgan, Randolph, and Ransom voted
in the negative.
At the expiration Of the morning hour
consideration was resumed of the silver
bill, and Mr.. Jones, Of Nevada, spoke in
favor thereof.
Mr.. Jones spoke at great length, most
OF his speech being devoted to arguments
showing that silver has not deprecated
IN value since its demonetization and
against the assertions that the dollar pro-
posed by the bill is dishonoring medium
OF payment and deprecated coin. He
said that silver since 1873, although DIS
crowned and shorn of its monetary
functions. denied mintage throughout
the entire western world and
degraded TO the rank of q commodity,
instead of having become less valuable
has nevertheless increased in its CON-
msnd over the services and sll kinds of
property; that both gold and silver have
gained in the purchasing power, and sill
yer only seems to have fallen in value,
because 1t has not risen 10 SO great An
extent as gold. In the face of these
patent and accumulated facts, it is still
claimed thst silver has deprecated to
such ar extent that it would be dishonest
to pay the debts in it, even if it would
legally discharge them. An eminent
jurist once said Of certain legal
proposition that he could not con.
ceive of the human mind so con-
stituted as 10 entertain it. l
am equally incompetent TO conceive
Of human mind so constituted US not
to see that silver has appreciated rather
than fallen in value, and gold has been
80 enormously enhanced in value that TO
grstuitously require the debts to be paid
IN it, is either the most gigantic folly
or the most gigantic fraud of al the ages.
Mr.. Jones denounced as false the charge
that he has individual interests TO be sub.
served by remonetizlng silver.
Mr.. Wsdleigh spoke against the bill
and in the course Of his remarks said
there have been statements of distress and
suffering, but to his mind all this cry of
weeping and wailing was to divert the
attention of the people while they were
being robbed for the benefit Of the bost-
cd German empire and the Nevada silver
king.
The Senate went into executive session,
and when the doors reopened Mr.. Blaine
submitted substitute tor the silver bill,
of which he gave notice several days ago
when he addressed the Senate, and the
provisions of which ho then explained,

A terrible accident happened in the
family OF Mr.. Thomas McCombs, who
resides on the Wm. Knox farm IN Buf-
tslo township, late on Sunday night LAST.
The daughter, Miss Rabecca, about twen-
~ three years Of AGE, wss keeping CON-
psuy with S young gentleman, ana
while sitting in front OF 8 wood fire her
dress came in contact with the flames
and blszed as high IS her head She in
stantly dsrted from the room into sn sd
joining chamber where her parents
we're sleeping. The father sprsng from
his couch and made every effort possible
70 extinguish the flames, and in doing so
was badly burned about the hands snd
arms. The outer dress and sd under.
skirt were burned of the young lady, ss
well as s ribbon worn around the neck.
OF course she was fearfully burned about
the arms and upper part Of the body. and
her sutsrings are most eIcrucisting.
The flesh hung in shreds from one of her
arms. Her recovery Is doubtful.
