course Of bis argument he remarked,
incidentally, that one Of the conse-
quences Of the defect of free silver
legislation would be The nomination
Of Cleveland. He referred to Cleve-
land rs having come 10 the presi-
dency In sort 81 congestive chill,
as commencing to prophecy evil and
throwing the whole weight Of his
administration against silver. He
brought up the old charge that
Sherman was responsible for the
demonetlzation Of silver In 1878. II,
said Morgan senators could forget
Cleveland and Hill and other good
men aspiring to the presidency Of
the United States, and lock hands
on the silver question and say that
they would do all that wisdom and
devoted love of country sug-
gesled, there would he no more
trouble about the silver question.
sherman said, to ascertain if they
wanted to enter on silver debate,
he proposed to lay the resolution on
the table. Allison asked If the reso-
luton had not gone to the calendar
at 2 O'Clock, and the vice president
acquiesced. Sherman hen re-
marked they could not be taken up
without a motion.
Teller said the senator from Ohio
might as well meet the question
now as any time, because the friends
of silver are bound to debate it. He
remarked that Sherman seemed
anxious to stife debate.
This charge Sherman emphati-
oally deuird. He went on to de-
fend the act of 1890, and said it would
with proper amendment be made
fulcrum on which rested the whole
financial system Of the country.
He argued against free coinage, and
in closing, said he not only was
willing to discuss the question, but
desired to have it discussed. The
m after then went over.

My friend, look here! you know how
weak and nervous your wife is, and you
know that Cartefs Iron Pills will relieve
her, now why not be fair about it and buy
her a box?
A woman who is weak, nervous and
sleepess, and who has cold hands and feet,
Carter's Iron Pills equalize the circulation,
remove nervousness, and give strength
and lrest.
A mans wife should always be the same
especi Ally to her husband, but if she is
weak and nervous, and uses Carter's Iron
Pills, she cannot be, for they make her
"feel like a different person" so they all
say, and their husbands say so too!

Masquerading in Mems Clothing.

PITTsBURG, April 5.-A handsome
girl, about 18 years old, calling her
self Jennie Scott, was sent To Jail
yesterday for masquerading in mems
clothes on West Carson street. She
was dressed in % new suit of blue
overalls, with small soft hat
pulled down over her face, and her
wavy blonde hair tucked up under
it. Miss Scott, according to her
story, came from Doty's Mills, near
Atlantic City, N. j. Her parents
were both dead, she said, and she
came to Pittsburg about two months
ago and has stayed with different
families. Before coming to Pitts
burg, she claimed she bad been
living with her grandmother, Mrs.
Anna Critsman, at Doty's Mills.
She wanted to go back, and, not
having money enough, thought the
best way to get there was to dress in
boys clothes and steal her passage
on a freight train. 1t is thought
she had a loyer in New Jersey, and
was trying TO go to him.

a Split in the Ranks over Politics
Looked For.
ATLANTA, GA, July 1.-THE Fulton
county alliance will hold its annual session
tomorrow. On account OF the strained
sentiment within the alliance over the third
party issue it is likely that to-morrow's
meeting will result in a split and the forma
ton OF two county alliances, one com
posed OF democratic alliancemen and the
other Of third partyites. DR.. John W.
helms, who will probably be the demo-
cratic candidate for president Of the ALI
ance, is now vice president. DR.. helms is
every inch a democrat and has by his
efforts so far succeeded in keep
ing the Fulton county alliance
straight. At the last quarterly
meeting the Ooala platform was not in.
dorsed, owing to DIR, helms, who made a
ringing speech against such step. The
present incumbent. President Taliaferro,
will be the candidate of the third party
members OF the county alliance.
