SILVER UP IN THE SENATE.
sHREWD PARLIAMENTARY PRACTICE
BRINGS STEWARDS BILL TO LIGHT.
The Action of the Senate n Great Surprise to
EverI body-Both Indiana Senators Vote
Take Up the adeasure-A Long Discus-
sion-The silver Conferences Meets.

WASHINGTON, May 26.-At the begin
ming of the present week probably not
one of the most sanguine friends of the
free silver coinage proposition had the
smallest measure OF hope or expectation
that anything in the semblance OF such
bill could be gotten before congress this
session. Today, as the result of an indi-
rect move on the part of Mr. Morgan, the
senate was suddenly obliged to record
itself on what the free coinage senators
call ''the square issue" The details of to-
days proce edings are interesting from two
points OF view: Z AS signal manifesto
ton of the desire of the majority of the
senate to at least hear arguments upon
and give consideration to the free silver
coinage bill; and, % as an exhibition Of
successful parliamentary management In
forcing the senate to record itself upon an
important question. notwithstanding the
most strenuous efforts OF a large number
of the leading spirits of the body to avoid
the issue. As q result OF the days pro-
ceedings the Stewart free silver coinage
| bill is before the senate as the unfinished
| business. Ii has displaced the alien bill
/ and can be gotten rid OF only by voting
upon its passage or by an affirmative vote
/ to take up another measure whenever the
morning hour expires.
The outcome cannot be predicted. The
anti-slver men say today's action means
only a profitless discussion; the silver
men say it means the speedy passage OF a
free silver bill.
When the senate met Mr.. Morgan pre-
scented his argument on the silver rssolu-
ton.
MIR. Sherman was on the floor replying
to Mr.. Morgan'e speech at o'clock, when
the morning hour expired, and Mr.. Nor
gan's resolution went over without action.
Mr.. Stewart Immediately rose and moved
to take up the bill introduced by him and
reported adversely rom the committee on
finance ito provide for the free coinage Of
gold and silver" Mr.. Morgan demanded
the yeas and NAYS. The vote was taken
and Nh. Stewards motion was agreed to
yeas, %; nays, 20. The following is the
vote in detail.

prohibitionists would show the world that
q respectable political convention could
be held. The people of this country were
tired of buns. beats and ward heelers con-
trolling its politics. He admired the
spirit and outspoken manliness OF the
convention in declaring that it desired no
compromise, but would fight the battle in
an open and straightforward manner. He
was glad that the saloonkeepers realized
that there was political organization
that could exist without perpetuating
their business. He finally declared the
prohibition party was the first American
party in purity and expected to live to
see it send president to the white house.
Capt. Eli F. Ritter then moved that the
following message be sent to the prohibl-
ton conventions in session in the states of
Ohio and California, and his motion car
RED unanimously:

Chairman Harkins said he had been
working against the liquor traffic ever
since he was a small boy. The old ooliu-
cal parties had frequently pretended to
help the prohibtionists by passing reso-
lutions. but there the matter ended. ANY
rum organization would have done this
much. The brewers and distillers like re-
spectacle drunk ards and did not care To see
men become besotted. He was glad to
see the prohibitionists doing something
for themselves. 1t did not require
a prophet to read in the sign
OF the times q victory for the
cause. Mr.. Harkins was delighted
TO note on the part of the convention a
willingness to allow everybody to speak.

Introdu oing an Old Trick.

The delegates shuddered when a be-
whiskered gentleman IN the rear OF the
hall stated that his name WAS
Brewer He was from Cass
and threw the convention into
agitation by asking ii absent delegates
could vote by proxy. This innocent ques-
ton started the trouble, and during the
next hour and half great beads OF per-
SEPARATION stood on the forehead of Chair
man Harkins. 1t was a matter that could,
and would have been settled in less than
five minutes in a convention OF either OF
the old parties but the cold water advo-
Gates wrestled with it until they were
overcome with fatigue. A bald headed
man in the front row mildly suggested that
the republicans and democrats permitted
voting by proxy. A half dozen delegates
were on their feet in an instant and the
unintelligible jargon that followed was
something awful. A little woman in black
caught the eve OF the chairman,
however, and being voluble
talker soon distanced all competitors.

All the time the little woman was talk
ing and she didn't stop to punctuats, a
meek little man with an auburn beard
stood looking at the chairman with a pitt
full and beseeching countenance, now and

and half preceding the noon recess. 1t
was "a Comedy of Errors"
After Chairman Hall OF the state CEN
