FREE COINAGE DEFEATED.

The Committee on Coinage of the
House of Representatives, by vote of
six to FIVE, decided to recommend non
concurrence in the Senate amendments to
the Silver bill and to ask the House to
order q conference. When the vote was
taken in committee Walker of Massachu-
setts and Mutchler of Pennsylvania were
absent. Conger, chairman of the com
mite, reported the majority recommends
sion to the House. Bland made the mi
nority report, and moved that the House
concur in the Senate amendments. Nc
Knley, who, while protesting to favor
silver, has made himself particularly OBJ
noxious to the real friends of the metal,
reported resolution to prevent debate
on the amendments, and demanded the
previous question on the adoption of the
resolution.
The Senate amendments mean free
coinage OF silver. This an overwhelming
msjority of the Republicans and few of
she Democratic members of the House do
not want, consequently BANDS motion to
concur in the Senate amendments was
defeated, and Conger's non-concurrence
recommendation was adopted.
As anything short of free coinage will
aot materially benefit the silver interest,
though the coinage of 81 600, 900 month.
ly might enhance the markst value OF
the metal, the silver question will not be
settled at this session of Congress. It is
now party issue fully as much as the
tariff, besides being sectional and per-
sonal one to q considerable extent. The
Eastern money kings are opposed to free
coinage, while the farmers of the West
and South and nearly the whole people
of the Pacific Coast favor it because they
want more money.
In the face of the fact that nine tenths
OF the Democrats in the House OF Repre-
sentatives vote for free coinage while
nineteen. twentieths of the Republicans
vote against it, it will puzzle the ingenu-
ity of the machine Republicans of Ne
vada and other silver-producing States
to devise means to make the people be.
heve that the party which holds despot.
ic sway in the House and denies the mi
nority the hitherto conceded right to
offer amendments to bills and speak in
advocacy of their adoption, is not re-
sponsible for the defeat of bill to repeal
the infamous act of February 18th, 1873,
which reduced the legal tender power of
silver coins to five dollars and prohibited
the free coinage of silver at the mints.

The Remarkable Cures

sess peculiar curative power. In the severest
cases of scrofula or salt rheum, when other prep

Sarsaparilla has brought about the happiest re-
suits The case of Miss Sarah G. Whittier, of
Lowell Mass, who suffered severely from scrof-

Mass, who had hip disease and scrofula so bad
that physicians said he could not recover, are a
few OF the many instances in which wonderful
cures were effected by this medicine.

His Arm Talked Of

The other evening Smyth went over to
the New Windsor to hear the California
Opera Company sing Donna Juanita." He
is a great admirer of John McWade, the
popular baritone, and it was especially TO
hear him sing that he visited the North
side. The curtain had gone up on the first
act when he reached the theatre, and ne
dropped into one of row of vacant seats
in the rear of the house. Pretty soon a
very fresh and laxative young man fell
into the seat next to Smyth, ant began 10
talk. The young fellow was perfect
stranger to him. and Smyth was greatly
annoyed at his pers>tence-he wanted TO
hear the performance. Pretty soon Nc
Wade came on He was dressed as an of
ticer, and, when he began his opening solo,
which Smyth prepared to listen to atten-
lively. the young man bore at his elbow
blurted out:
why, he's only got one arm, hasn't
he!"
Smyth ground his teeth and nodded as
sent.
GLOW did ne lose 2" persisted the bore.
Slnyth turned squarely upon him and
said:
He vas listening to performance one
night and a--little fool sat down beside
him and talked it of.
The young man said no more, and pref
ty soon he arose and quietly tiptoed his
wav out of the theatre, not even asking
for a return check. Smyth enjoyed the
solo all the more after the episode. .-Ch,-
