SAN FRANCISCO, June 6.

At a late hour this afternoon both houses of congress Were discussing the silver bill.
 Lacy, of iowa. spoke n favor of the silver ulll, saying in nature it was free coinage bill.
 Walker, of Mass, spoke against the free coinage. lie said more money meant more misery. The bill was pure ly political.
 Blount, of Georgia, said to increase the volume Of currency would benefit every interest in the country. He said the treasury bill was Wall street in 8 measure. He also criticised the caucus bill, and advocated free coinage.
 Noland said the gag law had been placed on the minority to pass the bill through the house, the effect of which was to demonetize silver. That eilver was being murdered in the house by its friends.
 Kerr, of Iowa, advocated the bill and said that it was step in the right di- rection.
 Townsend, of Colorado, said the only perfect remedy was the unlimited coir- age of silver.
 Dorsey, of Nebraske, said if Secretary Windom had bought the maximum of silver allowed by law there would be no need of this discussion.
 The house then took recess.
 WASHINGTON, June 6-The national executive silver committee to-day adopted resolutions to the effect that in case of a satisfactory measure for the full restoration Of silver to it's former place as money metal cannot be enacted; it will call the national silver conven- ton in which the farmers's alliance and all othor industrial organizations will be invited to join with the bi-metalists everywhere with view of sinking poli- tics and making the silver question the controlling issue in the future cam- paign.
 WAsHISGToN. May 5.-Plumb spoke on the silver bill. He believed it was all but the unanimous opinion of the people that very considerable increase Tn the volumes of currency was necessary. The senator from New York, (Hiscock). had yesterday described the great wealth and prosperity of the country, but if 1t was the true picture, why was it that the senator and his committee on finance and commissioners were plling up pro- tective duties. His idea was that not only should the vacancy in the national bank circulation be made up, but there ought to be added to that at least as much as would result from the free coin age of silver.
 Plumb went on to speak of the silver bill in connection with the question of protection.
 The senate was appealed to yesterday by the senator from New York, (His- cock), against the bill in the sacred name of Protection, as silver was an American product. He would like to ask the senator from New York why he was so anxious about foreign commerce and what he intended to do with the tariff bill, which would prevent the United States from having any foreign commerce.
 The silver bill was then laid aside and the senate took up the bill to authorize Maricopa county, Ariz., to issue bonds for railroad construction. The bill pae- sed 36 to IS.

THE Mammoth road committee are making tour of the city in search of funds for the construction of this much needed trade avenue. Business men of this city should not hesitate to contri- bute towards this road. It is one of the most needed ia the county, and one which will open to us branch of trade we cannot afford to lose. The cost of construction is insignificant in compari son to the trade we will command from this mineral outlet. Our citizens will find that the Mammoth road, when com pleted, will be great financial help to Tucson.

OUR CATTLE INDUSTRY.

Hitherto comparatively few men have engaged in the busness of stock-ralslng in Arizona, notwithstanding it affords greater return for the money invested than almost any ether business. Some of the most solid men in this county have made their money ln the stock business. There are scores of good ranches yet to be had in Pima County, where water can be obtained by sinking wells, and We are pleased to learn that not few of such available sections are being taken up. The cattle plant of Arizona will be largely increased during the present year. Already we have se- cured beef market, both east and west, which is gradually assuming such pro portions as to tax our cattle men to their utmost to supply the demand. Arizona is better adapted for stock-raising than any of her competitors. Cattle thrive both in winter and summer, and stock can be taken off the ranges and slauSh- tered in as fair condition as that of stall fed cattle. There IS no feeding or stock during the winter months, or loss of cattle through inclemency of weather, as instance the disaster in Neva- da and Northern California, during the past winter, and it is only of late years that stock-raisers have seen the advan- tages Arizona possesses in this line 'sf industry. Only few years ago Wy 'oming was looked upon as a worthless tsrritory; today she ranks among the foremost cattle producers in America We believe Arizona will be the next to come to the front with her numerous herds of cattle, which cannot fail to greatly advance the material wealth of the territory.

Called Him "Major. "

Among all those lawyers who made that
heroic advance upon Nashville to try the
famous natural gas bond injunction before
Judge Jackson, none were mora distingue
in their appearance than Mayor Hamilton
and Emery Potter.
But they never spoke in court, and were
silent rs London barrister. To all il
tents and purposes they were merely lend
ing high tone to the Toledo party, and
investing it with an air of eclat.
The colored porter at their hotel, after
frequent tips, evinced great fondness for
Mr.. Potter.
Every morning he awcke the distin-
guished Toledo attorney, and said:
Good mornin', majah, and did you en-
Joy your sleep las night
Mr.. Potter replied that he had.
"Yoll fin yo' shoes, msjah, all shined
up right by yo' do. Anything mo- can
do for you, maiah, dis mornin'2"
Mr.. Potter could not understand the
"majth," but said nothing for several
days but it kept getting worse; the ne
gro kept applying the military title to him
and finally Mr.. Potter said:
Say, why do you cal ne major? I've
been called colonel and general and cap
tain and judge and everything else, but
have never been called maj or before. Now
I'd like to know what makes you call me

Tie Wrong Bow.

A curious story is told at the Capitol at
the expense of q member of Congress, who,
while of no small caliber intellectually,
has not been blessed with an abundance Of
avoirdupois. He has wife much taller
than he is, and who also is well known to
her children as a strict disciplinarian. One
evening, so the story goes, she heard q
noise in the nursery after bedtime. She
promptly seized her slipper and started for
the scene of the uproar. Just as she
reached the door the children extiIguished
the light. Stretching out her hand, she
captured one of the boys, and to judge
from the outcries he made the spanking
was thoroughly effective.
But the mother was somewhat surprised
at the conduct of the second sufferer In
stead of sobbing, he yelled protestations
in a strong voice, and at last swore round
1y. The mother, astonished, jumped up
and letting him fall from her knees to the
floor, exclaimed tenderly:
els that you, hubby7"
Overwhelmed with confusion, he admit
ted that it was her chubby" she had been
spanking. After they had retired amid
the muffied laughter of the children, who
were trying to restrain it by stuffing pill
lows into their mouths, explanations fol-
lowed. He too, had heard the noise and
with the same object in view as his wife
had gone to the nursery, where he had
been caught by his spouse.-New York

The guide, who knew the danger of

He demanded a proporUionately large

Kissing Mother.

How many young ladies of to-day would
laugh at the absurd idea, as they express
it, of kissing mother but you cannot,
dear girls, imagine how it will brighten
her dear face. Besides, you owe her a
kiss or two. Away back when you were
little girl, she kissed you when no one
else was tempted by your fever tainted
breath and swollen face. You were not as
attractive then as you are now. And
through those years of childish sunshine
and shadows she was always ready to cure
by the magic of mothers kiss the little
dirty, chubby hands whenever they were
injured in those first skirmishes with the
rough world
And then the midnight kisses with
which she routed so many bad dreams as
she leaned above your restless pillow have
all been on interest these long, long years.
Of course, she is not so pretty and kissable
as you are, but if you had done your share
of tbs work these last ten years the con-
trast would not be so marked. Her face
has more wrinkles than yours, and yet if
yon were sick that face would appear
more beautiful than an angels as it how
cred over you, watching every opportunity
to minister to your comfort, and every one
of those wrinkles would seem to be bright
wavelets of sunshine chasing each other
over the dear face.-L0con a0tige FSTemen' s

A Dog il the Organ Loft.

1T TRIED TO JOIN IN THE SINGING, BUT
CREATED PANIC.
Park Avenue, East End, Presbyterian
church was the scene of an unusual must
cal event on last Sunday evening. 1t
caused no little connection and amusement
among the members of the church choir.
The innocent cause of the disturbance
was little Scotch terrier belonging to the
family of a young lady who acts as church
organist. He had slyly contriyed to follow
his young mistress, unknown to her, from
home to the organ loft, and after securely
ensconcing himself in comfortable cor
ner, waited patiently for the evening SER
vice.
Th5 organlst was very much surprised,
shortly after commencing the voluntary,
to hear succession of sepulchral groans
from the corner. On Investigating, she
was completely taken aback on discover
ing the little Scotchy, which jumped and
frisked about, exhibiting it's great delight
1t was evident the canine soul was thrilled
with joy, but nevertheless it was out of
the question for him to remain member
of the choir, and he was promptly elected
This incident over, the choir proceeded
to sing an anthem, but they had not sung
through the first verse when from the out
side was heard the unmistakable howling
of the undaunted terrier. 1t had returned
to the attack and seemed bent on joining
in the singing by hook or crook. This
caused a suspension of music by the choir,
as between the mild panic and laughter
created by the renewed attempts of the
faithful animal it was impossible to go on.
The musical prodigy was again inglori-
ously elected, this time with more force
than affection, and again the service pro-
ceeded.
But it was evident that the canine meant
to stay on till the termination. Still, as
the next hymn was being sung, the far off
echo of now familiar voice was heard
from the back hallway, where he had been
banished. The young people were almost
exploding, Finally the canine musician
was dragged outside and sent home under
escort to prevent his return ittsburg

Provoke Not.
Tribune.

How do parents provoke their children ?
By unreasonable commands, by perpetual
restriction, by capricious jerks at the bri-
die, alternating with as capricious drop
ping of the reins altogether, by not gov
erning their own tempers, by shrill and
stern tones where quiet, soft ones would
do, by frequent checks and rebukes, and
sparing praise And what is sure to fol-
fow such mistreatment by father or
mother? Bursts of temper, for which the
child is punished and the parent is guilty,
and then spiritless lislessness and apathy
81 cannot please him whatever do, leads
to ranking sense Of injustice, and then
to recklessness- is useless to try any
more" And when a child or man loses
heart, there will be no more obedience.
Many parent, especially father, drives
his child to evil by keeping him at dis
lance. He should make his boy COM
panion and playmate, teach him to think
of his father as his confdant, try to keep
his child nearer to himself than to any
body else, and then his authority will be
absolute, his opinion an oracle. and his
lightest wish a 1aw.-Dr. Alegander Nae
