SENATOR Gray occupied the Senate
floor for three hours on Friday, in an
exhaustive speech in opposition to the
Federal Election or Force bill, as it is
called, that struck fire deeper than any
speech from his side of the chamber.
Mr.. Gray is a recognized leader among
the Democrats, and in having him
there the state is honOred as well as
the man. 1t is the highest wisdom in
any political party, to have its very
ablest men to represent us in the Ma
tional Council, if for nothing else. for
the character it gives us from home.
Mr.. Gray speaks like a man giving ut
terance to his own convictions, and not
as a demagOgue, and as such COM
mands respect, however much he may
be differed from as to the best methods
in working out great national problems.

The Wilmington papers claim they
have an honest voting machine now on
exhibition in that city patented by J..
H. Myers, of Rochester, n. W which
does its work to perfection in circum-
venting the deleterious work of the
rounder, repeater and polluter of the
ballot box. 1t records the citizens
will without the aid of a ballot, and it
is claimed, more fully meets the de-
mand for ballot reform than any sys-
tenn yet devised. An effort will be
made at the coming session of the leg
islature to secure its adoption for this
state. 1t is said that $500 ballots can
be recorded in ten hours, while the
Australian ballot system requires a
separate polling place for each 500.

The difficulty in Ireland, over the
displacement of Parnell from the Home
Rule leadership, has resulted in two
hostile factions-Parnell refusing to
resign, and the anti-Parnellites elect
ing Justin EcCarthy to the leadership.
Parnell's immoral conduct has thus
endangered the cherished objects of the
suffering people of Ireland.

The Farmers Alliance after a weeks
delberstion at Ocala, Fla, adopted a
platform the chief features of which
are,-they want sub-treasuries to loan
money at 2 per cent-free silver coin
age-passage of laws to prevent deal
ing in futures in grain-prohibiting
foreign ownershipin lands-patents to
terminate in ten years without renewal
that the circulating medium should
be $50 per capita, etc, etc.

MORE money More money" is the
cry of the people which rings continu-
Ously, ever growing louder and louder,
in the ears of Congressman, and the
number of Congressman who believe
that it is absolutely necessary to take
some steps at the present session of
Congress to largely increase { he
amount of money iE circulation though
there are millions of coined dollars
piled up in the treasury, is constantly
growing. Some propose accomplishing
this result in one way, some in another.
More bills for the free coinage of silver
have already been introduced in one
week than ever before known to be in
trOduced in one whole session upon
any one subject and there are other
bills introduced for the purpose of af-
fording the people the financial relief
they are asking for.
Senator Stanford has by no means
abandoned his idea of having the Gov.
ernment loan money to farmers at low
interest, taking mortgages upon their
farms as security, notwithstanding the
unceremOniOus manner in which the
Senate Finance Committee tried to
squelch it at the last session, and he
has again introduced it, and in order
to get a chance to speak upon it has re.
quested that it lie upon the table until
called up by him. He says that he in
tends. Fit FL. possible to bring the
bill Z. J. t4i7 session. No one
can talk with him without heing cln
vinced that he is very much in ,tv.
nest, and that he believes in b,th the
constitutiOnality and practicability of
the bill.
A unique financial idea is embodied
In bill introduced by Representative
Carleton, of Georgia, who thinks that
every individual should enjoy the
privileges now exclusively granted to
the national banks. His bill provides
that every man holding q United
States bond may deposit it in the
Treasury, as national banks do, and
receive for it national bond certif
Gates" to its full par value, such certif
Gates to be full legal tender for al
obligations.
The question naturally arises, what
is to be the outcome of all this? 1t il
not an easy question to answer. l
the two houses of Congress could get
chance to vote squarely upon it, tn,
passage of free coinage bill would b,
a certainty; though it means imitation
1t is perfectly easy to pass such bill
through the Senate-a majority of it,
members placed themselve on RECORD
at the last session; but to get such
bill before the House it is necessary [,
get the consent of a majority of th,
committee on Coinage and of the Com
mittee on Rules. There is a vacanc,
at the head of the Coinage committee
and Speaker Reed may select a mai
who holds the same anti-silver senti
ments which he does, to fill it. L
that case, goodbye to getting any fire
silver coinage before the House, unlea
the republican Senators who fave
free coinage can succeed in playing th
Federal Election bill against Speake
Reeds prejudice against free coinag,
An attempt is now being made to
that very thing. It is proposed

Death of Miss Edith H. Bell.

Miss Edith Hayes Bell, daughter of
VIM. NJ. Bell, died suddenly shortly
after midnight on Friday night or
rather Saturday morning, from heart
failure, in the 2Sth year of her age
She had been confined to her room and
bed for several weeks, with alternating
hopes and fears as to the result, but
no immediate danger was feared until
the heart ceased its pulsatons and the
life current stopped its flow. OF course
it was a severe shock to the family
and the many friends Of the deceased
Miss Edith Bell was the pOssessOr of
strong feminine virtues, refined in
feelings, domestic in her tastes, having
ever in view the idea of being useful,
and cannot bat be missed in her family
and the society in which she moved.
In passing from our school here, she
was sent to the Darlington Female
Seminary, West Chester, Pa, from
which institution she graduated. Al
ways of strictly conscientious and
religious turn of mind, shortly after
this she sought in the fullest sense the
Divine touch, united with the NJ +.
Church and was loyal to it and as
faithful in obeying the precepts of her
Divine Master as she was in her Obedi-
ent love and respect for her earthly
parents. While cheerful and bright
and fond of companionship, she in
no case Of youthful association ever
compromised her church Her life in
this regard was shown in her ready nc
! quiescence in all the church services
and was especially useful in the Sun.
