The great debate ON silver coinage was
opened Tuesday 10y MIR. Bland in support
of his free coinage bill and Mr.. George
Fred Williams in opposition to it; both
Democrats. The debate continued until
O'Clock ON Wednesday afternoon, when Mr..
Bland demanded the previous question.
Mr.. Burrows, for the hard money men,
moved to lay the bill on the table Then
followed an exciting contest, the motion
of Mr. Burrows failing by a tie vote,
Speaker Crisp causing the tie by his vote
cast with the free sivertes. The struggle
which succeeded continued until midnight,
when an adjournment was finally carried
without action on the bill. This kills fur
ther consideration of the measure for the
time being, and necessitates the introduc-
tiOn of a new order from the committee on
rules before the bill can be taken up again
This practically means indefinite postpone
ment, and as far as it goes victory for sound
currency. The hard money Republicans,
led by Mr.. Reed and Mr. Burrows, threw
their entire strength against the measure.

GRANGE NEWS.

Protective grange held an interesting
meeting last Tuesday evening. Some eX-
celent music added much to the eniov-
ment of the occasion. The young ladies
paper was bright and lively. Two ladies
had been appointed to ascertain the names
and number of clubs, societies and organ
izations in town, and reported 81 already
found. Some of them were referred to by
different speakers, telling why they were
organized, and what benefit they were to
the people. The Y. NJ. c. A., Masons
and Womans' Relief corps were all that
could be taken up at this time.
Bread making was the last theme, and
the different methods were discussed some
what. A test or taste of different kinds,
and then of different methods, is to be had
at our next meeting, which is to be held
April II. These tests are to be made with
butter made from Jersey cows, also from
Holsteins, with the accompaniment of
Dutch cheese and maple syrup. The first
exercise for the evening will be upon gar
dening, by practical gardener, one whose
work shows that he knows how and when
to pillow, plant and cultivate, and also to
gather his crops.

How the Democratic Factions Love
Each other.

From Tuesday report Of the Silver Dchatel
Mr.. Livingstone of Georgia advocated
the bill. He said the gentlemen from
Massachusetts who represented Democratic
constituents, opposed this bill because they
thought it might endanger Democratic
success in the next election. Hill and
Cleveland meant nothing more nor less
than silver and anti-siver. The fight would
be bitter and severe. But he trusted in God
that the people would win.
Mr.. Harter of OhiO.-Do you mean to
say that Hill is in favor of free coinage {?
Uaughter).
Mr.. Livingstone now. Uaugh-
teri. VIII you vote for Ill., if he is {?
Naughter)
No, sir, replied Mr.. Harter, with EN-
phasis, amid applause and laughter.
Now, gentlemen resumed Mr., Liy-
ingstone, "therc is a demonstration of just
what | said. All the Democracy that is in
that crowd means Cleveland against the
world, or a Republican or a Mugwump.
You cannot squeeze an ounce of Democracy
out of the whole crowd (Laughter).
