was still speaking at two o'clocH, when
the presiding officer announced that un.

ceeded to the consideration OF the silver
bill. The bill having been read in ex-
tense, Stewart asked unanimous consent
that il be postponed until Tuesday next
and then be unfinished business.
Vest objected. He thought the silver
dar and that il would be an unreasonable
delay.
Plumb agreed with Vest as to the inn
portance OF the bill and delay, but would
consent that il go over till Tuesday by the
request Of the senator who had Il i'm
charge Jones), and who proposed 10
open the debate.
Merrill said Jones was absent and de-
sired a few days TO prepare for the OPEN
ing debate. and hoped. therefore, consent
would be given TO the bill going over.
Vest said the bill had been fixed for to-
day on Jones' own motion. aud now by
exparte proceeding In which the majority

was to he thrust aside for another week.
He would not agree to anything but that

WHAT AN ADVERTISEMENT SHOULD Be,
ITS USE AND ABUSE.

AS this is intended for the pros
oective purchaser, not for the in
struction of the advertiser, we
shall limit our remarks to- few
questions and answers suitable to
our purpose.
That judicious advertising pays
is fact no longer doubted by the
wide-awake merchant. But what
is judicious advertising?
An advertisement that is not a
statement of plain facts-that
lacks the impress of unvarnished
truth-that borders on the realm
of fiction-such an advertisement
is not only soon detected but as
certainly avoided--no matter how
adroitly the advertiser seeks the
ear of the public.
To gain the confidence of the
public, simply to advertise will
not suffice; the merchant must
keep faith with his customers; he
must do what he advertises, and
have what he advertises. Such
advertisements are sought out by
the reader in the hope that it may
contain an announcement of a
special: bargain offered, or to as
certain the price of something he
contemplates purchasing.
We do not pay out our money
for printers ink because it is a
custom-we calculate its effect,
and estimate the outlay to pro-
portionate gain.

SENATOR QUAY has been characterized
in many different ways during the last
few months, but the following from the
Philadelphia News, which prides itself
on the staunchness of its republicanism,
is the meat severe OF all. The News
says:
The country knows that Matthew STANLEY
Quay is one of the biggest rascals out of
Jail. 1t knows that he is man whose word
is worthless, whose treachery is notorious,
whose dissipated habits are q national by
word. and whose selfishness and cowardice
are monumental. The country knows that
Quay has been charged with accepting
brides. and that he did not refute the
charge. 1t knows that he vas a venal leg
islator and crooked state treasurer; and
that after embezzling several hundred
thousands of the states funds, he was only
prevented from carrying out his threat Of
jumping from the third story window OF
q Harrisburg hotel or drowning himself
in the Susquehanna by Don Cameron's
making good the stolen money. This

PERHAPS the most refreshing sugges-
ton of the week is the Herald's advice
to the democratic press to show some
decent pretext for the existence OF a
democratic party in Montana. Yet
within year our contemporary success
fully argued the necessity of two pollti-
cal parties in community to properly
protect the interests Of the people. OF
course the republicans might find mat
ters easier il they had only the single
tax party to combat, but the democrat
ic party will be in existence in Montana
so long as there are honest citizens il

YESTERDAY IN CONGRESS.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 18.-Iu the senate the
resolution offered yesterday by Plumb. to
recommit the bankruptcy bill, went over
till tomorrow. Plumb offered resolution
directing the secretary of the treasury to
inform the senate whether the rule or policy
Of his department, which requires the pay
ment of checks for silver bullion over the
counter of the sub-treasury, instead of
through the proper clearing house, does not
result in the paying out Of notes Of larger
denominations, instead of those suited for
circulation and use in ordinary business
transactions, and whether such method Of
payment does not result in the payment Of
gold instead Of treasury notes. Plumb
spoke of the conspicuous illustration that
had taken place within the last few days Of
the policy of allowing the treasury de-
partment to obstruct or accelerate
the business of the country. For years
the treasury department boarded money
and during all that time the volume of cur
rency was constantly decreasing on account
of the withdrawal of national bank notes.
The secretary of the treasury had seen the
business of the country hampered ON &C.
count of that lack of money, but he waited
until panic was impending-not q stock
brokers' panic, but stringenoy Of money
that affected the banks of all cities and
seriously interfered with the operations of
ordinary business-and then the secretary
had given money to the holders of govern
ment bonds under such circumstances as to
enable them land not him) to control the
money supply of the country during their
pleasure. Money which few days ago
had been in the treasury and which could
have been put out at the will of the secre-
tary, was to-day in the hands of men who
owned the bonds to the amount of go, OOO,-
GOO. It was perfectly safe to say that these
men having that money would use it to
benefit themselves and not in the interest
of the people. Nothing but an overwhelm-
ing calamity would ever divorce the trea-
sury from such malicious interference with
the business OF tie country. The resolution
was agreed to.
The calendar was then 15aain1ou up aud the
following bills, among others, passed: The
house bill to amend articles of war relative
to punishment on conviction by courts
martial; the senate bill to provide for the
inspection of live cattle, hogs and car
cases, and the products thereof, which are
subjects of interstate commerce: the senate
bill to revive the grade of electromagnetic
raj of the army; the senate bill for the re-
lief of women enrolled as army nurses, al
lowing SIP month to women who have for
six months rendered actual service in any
regimental camp or general hospital, and
who are unable to earn their support, pen
sion to commence from date Of fling appli-
cation after the passage of the act.

Frightful Scenes at Kimberly Following
the Escape OF Animals. lE
LONDON, Sept. 1s.-Advices from Kim
berry, South Africa, tell Of an awful occur
renee at midnight of June LIST last. Some
person evidently bearing an i'll feeling
against the proprietor of Tillis' menagerie
opened the doors of the cages containing
the wild animals and set them all free and
the most terrible scenes followed. Four at
PENDANTS sleeping on the premises endea-
vored to round up the beasts, but were
mangled beyond recognition, being actually
torn limb from limb. The entire popula-
ton within the radius of a mile were
aroused by the roaring lions, the trumpet
ing of elephants and growls and shrieks o
other wild beasts. Having tasted blood in
their struggle with the employees, the
brutes regained all their natural ferocity
and sprang at every living thing in their
way. -Four performing Hungarian horses
were killed almost instantly and number
of ponies devoured. An enormous elephant
burst through the heavy iron gate and
~ every animal in the menagerie. A little
child of JAS. Grindley, in a rear room open
ing on garden, was pounced upon by a
ohetah and dragged into the open air,
where its agonized mother saw it torn to
pieces and devoured before help could
reach it. Other narrowing incidents are ro-
ported, among them the killing of five
women, who we're fearfully manRled.
When the mails left, four lions, two
lionesses, two tigers, three bears, two
wolves, one hyena, two chetahs, one ele-
plant, one camel and sixteen balloons were
still at large. The police have been organ
lied in hunting PARTIES and people are keep
ing indoors.
