SENATOR BLAcKBURN's SPEECH
In Support of Stewards Amendment to the
Financial Bill-Morgan Also Advo. 800.
Gates the Measure.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.-Several petitions
for and against the Conger lard bill and
resolutions deprecating any further legisla-
ton in regard to the silver bill were pre-
scented.
The House bill for the relief Of Major
Wham, army paymaSter, creditlng him
with S2S,345 of government funds, of
which he was robbed in Arizona in May,
1889, passed.
Platt gave notice that he would ask the
Senate on Monday, after the routine morn
ing business, to consider the House copy
right bill. The finance bill was then laid
before the Senate.
The House bill to provide for an addi-
tional associate justice of the supreme
court of Arizona passed.
The financial bill was taken up and
Plumb gave notice of an amendment limit
ing TO $1,000 the compulsory requirement
of deposit of United States bonds for
every national bank. This is not to apply
TO the deposit of bonds to secure public
national moneys in national banks
Blackburn addressed the Senate in ad-
vocacy of Stewards amendment for free
coinage. He was not willing to have it

demand for the free coinage of silver as

age might rely on the veto power of the
President, but that would prove vain re-
lance. He denounced the silver policy of
every administration for the last twenty
years. 1t did not matter to him that
his own party was for four years
responsible for the enduring wrong. Cleve-
lands administration was just as amena-
bic to criticism and censure as his prede-
cessor's or successors. The Farmers al
lance was now centralized into a national
organization and was protesting against
class legislation. Every intelligent man
and every honest man acknowledged the
just cause of complaint. They asked re-
dress of grievances, not imaginary. but
real. The mighty west and the reiuvenated
south had endured the fleeing process un.

they meant that Just laws should be en-
acted and unjust laws repealed.

NEW YORK, Jan. 9.-The Herald, in the

second appeal to the United States supreme

that there can be no certain enforcement

until Congress amends the federal statute
governing the writ OF habeas corpus. 1t IS

ment in the state of New York in order to
prevent the use of its dynamo as an instru-
menu of death. To do this it is only neces-
sary TO apply for writ of habeas corpus
In short, the enacted will of the people that
death is the penalty of murder may be set
at naught by any criminal, any legal hire
