SILVER BILL SHELvED.

Interesting Proceedings In the House OF
Representatives Upon the Free silver
Resolution-No Free Silver Bin the Pres
emit Session.
WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE 18th of
July will be regarded hereafter by the
free silver men as an unlucky date, and
there are many democrats who viii
long remember the fate OF the silver
bill. While tie fight has been prae-
tically conceded to anti-silver men for
several days, yet it needed a final vote
to settle the question After the regu-
lar order, Mr.. Catchings, democrat, Of
Mississippi. offered resolution from
the committee on rules setting apart
yesterday and to-day for the considera-
ton of the silver bill.
Mr.. Bland opened the debate for the
free silver advocates and presented an
amendment forbidding any dilatory
motions after ?. N. when a vote was
to be taken on the bill, If the resolution
OF the committee on rules was adopted.
Mr.. Bartine, republican, of Nevada,
supported the resolution and appealed
to his colleagues to pass the resolution.
Mr.. Clark, democrat, OF Alabama fled
the track on his previous record on the
silver question and opposed the resolu-
ton. Mr.. Patterson, democrat, of Ten
nessee, followed in a similar vein. and
threw CONSERVATION into the camp OF
silverites. Then the republicans put
forward their leader, Mr.. Reed, OF
Maine, who made a characteristic
speech. He arraigned the democratic
party for their cowardice, who clamored
for Office under any and all circum-
stances. His remarks were frequently
interrupted by applause.
Mr.. Patterson said he would vote for
the previous question OF the resolution
but on the final vote he would vote
against the bill. The democratic party
stood together for tariff reform, home
rule, states rights, b,<t they were di-
vided on the silver question The re-
publican party had rendered protect
i've tariff and force bill as the issues OF
the campaign. It should be fair and
square fight on the great political
issues. Silver was not an issue, as both
parties were divided on ii.
The debate was closed by Mr.. Bland,
| who went into brief technical discus
sion upon the silver question, quoting
statistics to show the present condi-
! tions Of that metal.
Mr.. Catchings then demanded the
| previous question on the subject of the
resolution.
The house was now all excitement
| Anti-silver men and silver men were
eagerly engaged in conversation, al
| though it was very evident that the
| resolution was beaten even before the
vote was taken, Mr.. Reeds announce
ment from the republicans position on
the question insuring defeat Yeas and
nays We're demanded and resulted
Yeas, 163; nays, 129.
Mr.. Catchings moved the passage OF
| the resolution and on viva voce vote
the speaker declared that the noes had
it. The yeas and nays were called fol
by Nh. Tracey on this test vote. The
house was in comparative quiet, the
members leaving their seats after
voting and before the roll call had pro
ceeded very far it was seen that the
resolution was dead The vote resulted
Yeas. 1856; nays, 154.
This ended the attempt to pass ths
! silver bill

The Idaho Mining Troubles Look Very
Grave-The Miners Entrenched and De-
acknowledgements Freely Used.
BOISE CITY, Idaho. July 14.-Gov.
Wiley has issued a proclamation plac-
ing Shoshone county under martial
law. Word has been received that
three companies of federal troops from
Missoula have arrived at Mullane. The
other troops have not been heard from.
Adj.-Gen. Curtis, who is in command
for the state and who went to C9ur
d'Alene in advance of the outbreak, has
not been heard from and it is feared he
has fallen into the hands of the
strikers.
A dispatch to the governor from
Judge Hepburn at Spokane says the
union men drove Isl non-union miners
out, firing on them and killing two.
PORTLAND, Ore, July 1.-the Union
Pacific has just received advices from
Occur d'Alene that the Northern Pacific
railroad bridge, together with several
hundred feet Of track, were blown up
by the strikers west of Mullane. The
company is preparing to take all non
union men out of the mine for Tekoa-
The union men assert that the mo-
ment the troops appear on the scene
they will blow up the Bunker Hill and
Sullivan and Sierra Nevada mines.
The entire force of the strikers, LOCO
strong, is congregated at Wardner- All
women and children were sent from
the town and the miners are now build
ing Notifications around the place and
making preparations to give the troops
a warm reception. The troops now at
Cataledo in companies of infantry, rep
resent about 400 men, have been order
ed to Warner and engage the strikers
in front, while three companies OF col
ored troops of the Twenty-ffth in
fantry from Missoula. who are at Null
lane were instructed to march down
the gulch and attack the strikers in
the rear, the object being to overwhelIn
and capture most of them When Gen.
Curtis saw the strength of the army he
Immediately wired the governor that
there was no use making fight against
the miners with his present force. The
governor then ordered into the field five
companies from Fort Vancouver, Wash
ington- No doubt the miners will make
a fierce fight when attacked as they are
all armed with Winchesters and will
take desperate chances

Notes

With hogs no difference how good
the pasturage, some grain or rich Stop
can always be fed with profit This
may be oats, shipstuff, barley, Oilneal,
cornmeal or a combination of two or
three of these made into a good slop
with skim milk Let Ii stand twelve
hours, taking care not to allow it to get
too sour.
Houses, roosts, coops, nests, sc.
should be kept thoroughly clean and
disinfected- If neglected disease and
verrnin will run riot. Cleanse the wa
ter dishes every day and refill three
times a day with fresh, cool water.
1t is often the case that growers of
small fruits can realize better prices by
sending to comparatively small markets
rather than to ship all to the larger
ones
By giving ounces good soil, thor
ough cultivation and careful pruning
the fruit can nearly always be grown
with profit
When through with the hot bed sash
gather them up. clean them thoroughly
and store in place where they viii
keep dry.
A good plan to push the growth of the
half grown chickens l. to feed them
their grain either crushed or cracked

FARM NOTES.

Markets and prices cannot be good
enough to bring good times to the
farmer that has nothing TO sell
With nearly all products, if the farm
er succeeds in producing the best quail
ty, he does not want for customers.
Some trees need very little pruning
after they get fairly started to grow
ing; this is especially true of the cherry
With apples, peaches and pears es-
pecially, it viii always pay to carefully
sort before packing and shipping to
market.
It is the fowls that nolt early that
make the best layers during the winter
They must fully recover from the eff
fects of melting before they will lay.
Because seed bearing is the heaviest
draft on the vitality of the plants, many
consider it best to cut off the blossoms
on the potato vines as means of IL
creasing the yield
Hot weather, with occasional wet,
starts diarrhoea in chickens As a pre-
ventive mix chalk with the food occa-
sionally and give boiled milk as first
drink in the morning.
When fruit is plenty and prices low
too many are careless about saving
grades, and often considerable loss Is
occasioned in consequence
Much fruit that cannot be marketed
to an advantage can often be made into
cider and in this way often be sold with
profit Generally only what cannot be
used in any other way with profit should
be fed to the stock.
When seed is to be saved care should
be taken to gather in good season, 90
dry thoroughly and to store where YER
min will not destroy Only the best
should be saved; garden seed Is Too
cheap to use anything but the. best
One advantage with buckwheat Is
that it will make fair growth on land
too thin to grow fair crop of anything
else For this reason IL Is one of the
very best crops to sow to help build up
the fertility. It makes a quick growth,
and from its nature and habit of max
ing a spreading growth viii furnish
considerable quantity of material to
pillow under, and in many cases can be
used to good advantage in this way.
Business habits, such as exactness.
promptness, watchful eye as to profit
and loss. etc, makes the business man
a success in most cases when he at
tempts farming in earnest When he
does not succeed il Is due usually to
some neglect of details, or to a loss of
interest in the work. But business
habits are always q great help, and
some day the farmer may be obliged to
have business training before being
allowed to manage farm

The Troops in Charge of the Town-Geu.
Snowden's Snub to the Committee That
Waited on Him.
HOMESTEAD, Pa, July 12.-As soon as
Gen. Snowden had esta blished his
headquarters in the schoolhouse on the
hill over the iron works he was waited
on by committee consisting of O'Don-
nell, Coon, Crawford. Schzkman and
Clifford. representing the Amalgamated
association, the advisory committee
and the citizens. Coon was the spokes-
man, and coming to Gen. Snowden. he
stated that he represented the associa-
ton and the citizens; that on their
part he welcomed the troops to the
town and he offered the cooperation of
the citizens in preserving order.
Gen. Snowden said: 81 thank you for
your welcome, but 1 do not need your
cooperation. The only way good citi-
zens can cooperate with us in preserv-
ing good order is to go peaceably about
their business"
know at what time they may give you
public reception"
Snowden replied: 81 can accept no re-
ception, sir; it would be most improper.
l thank you for your courtesy, but a
be an amazing thing if the National
Guard was not welcome in any part of
Pennsylvania
Mr.. O'Donnell here took up the con-
versation and began: s'On the part of
the Amalgamated association L wish to
say that after suffering an attack from
illegal authority we are glad to have
the legal authority of the state here"
81 do not recognize your association, :"
replied Gen. Snowden. II recognize no
one but the cit items Of this city. We
have come here to restore law and Or
der; and they are already restored"
But we wish to submit" O'Donnell
began, when the general cut him short,
saying: ''Then. sir. submit to the gen
tleman behind you"
O'Donnell wheeled around and saw
Sheriff McCleary standing in the group.
81 do submit to him. he said I'VE
have never questioned the sheriff's or
der"
The general smiled rather sarcastical-
ly and said: ST am glad to hear it.
But you must understand our position.
We are here to preserve the peace. We
represent the executive arm of the state
and have nothing to say to you further
than that the sheriff must be obeyed.''

THE LABOR TROUBLES.

Men Employed In Carnegte's Mills at
Pittsburgh Strike to AID the Homestead
Men-The Trouble In Idaho Thought to
Be at an End.
PITTSBURGH, Pa, July 15.-Yesterday
afternoon the members of the Amalga-
mated association employed in Carne-
gie's Union iron mills at Twenty ninth
and Thirty-third streets carried out
their threat to stop work unless con-
ference was opened by Chairman Fl. C.
Frick with the Homestead workmen-
Shortly after IL o'clock as their heats
were run the men began leaving the
works in squads
By5 o'clock the mills Were practically
deserted.
The move was in sympathy for the
locked-out men at Homestead and indie
pendent of the Amalgamated associa-
ton, the strikers voluntarily FORGETTING
any claim upon tAe associations treas
ury in the nature OF strike benefits or
financial assistance.
The men do not fear that their places
in these mills will be filed with 'sblack
sheep" and have noidea when they will
be ready to return to work.
This is the busiest season of the year
for these mills and the builders will be
especially affected by this strike. Super
intendent Dillon shook hands with
many of the men as they left. express
ing regret at the course they had adopt
ed. He could give no information as to
the course the company would pursue.
A meeting of forenlen, superintend-
ents of departments and boss mechanics
of the Carnegie mill at Homestead was
held yesterday and action was taken
which will have an important bearing
on the situation. These men are not
on a strike and they have not until
now taken any action
Yesterday they resolved that they
would not operate the works under an
armed guard
This decision practically means that
the mills will not be run with non
union labor and the Carnegie company
must settle with its Homestead men be-
fore resuming operations
THE IDAHO TROUBLES.
WASHINGTON, July 15.-Telegrams re-
ceived by Maj.-Gen. Schofeld show that
the labor troubles in the Coeur d'Alene
mining district are at an end for the
present The rioters have dispersed
and the state authorities, aided by fed
eral troops, are in full possession of the
field
Gen. Schofeld said last night that
the people who Were complaining
because the soldiers had not ar
rested the rioters had very
improper conception of the po-
sition of troops in the matter. He eX.
planned that they were ordered there
merely to support the civil authorities
in the restoration of order and were
acting altogether under the orders OF
the governor of the state. They had nc
Independent functions whatever and
had absolutely nothing to do with any
disorders that may have occurred be-
fore their arrival. 1t was the duty OF
the civil authorities to enforce the law
and all the troops could do was to pro
tect them in SO doing.

ANXIOUS TO GET HOME.
The Feeling Prevalent Among Congress


The Feeling Prevalent Among Congress
men just at Present.
WASHINGTON, July 15.-After all,
there is an astonishing1y small number
of sore heads left in congress as the re-
suit of the summary disposition of the
free silver coinage bill. Yesterday the
members were comparing notes and find
that they are as we'll of as could be
expected. The extreme silver men
philosophically say that they have made
glorious fight and can now go home
and tell their people that they have
done all that Representative could do
to advance the cause which is so near
their hearts and that they hope to re-
new the struggle next winter with
better prospects of success The
ants, as they are now com
monty known, as a rule represent
constituencies that are strongly
committed in favor of the gold stand
ard or Of the present coinage laws.
They will go home and argue with their
people that the party they represent is
''sound" on the financial question, and
hope thereby to gather many votes in
the fall elections
That is what all the members, and
senators as we'll, are talking of, and
consequently lilSJ oiC C-AbA CihCiJ
ious to get away from Washington and
begin the campaign work. Many of
the members who have heretofore
been strongly intrenched behind ma
jorities now begin to feel apprehen-
sive and they want to go home and
talk with their constituents So mat
tiers of legislation are being hurried
forward with all expedition and nothing
can stand before a conference report on
one of the remaining appropriation
bills With the final passage of the ap-
preparation bills will end the present
session of congress and they
are to have right of way over
everything else, although the in
tervals of time that may be available
while waiting on conference committee
work will probably be given up in the
senate to the consideration of measures
that will excite no opposition and in
the house to measures that may be
taken up under the operation of special
rules brought in from day to day by the
rules committee

PARAGRAPHIC POINTERS.

-Carnegie's friendship for labor is
the true protectionist feeling. Reds
tenderness in the same direction is on
view. Platform and practice are part
of the campaign of observation-disclosures

If the democratic party has any

The banners and transparencies
Of Cleveland and Stevenson are flying
all over New York, and there can be
no mistake about the popular feeling
in regard to the ticket. The bosses will
be sick and sore for little while, per-
haps, but as time advances will realize
more and more clearly the foolishness OF
fighting against the itable.-Balti-

The people, without distinction
of party, have right to congratulate
themselves on Mr.. Cleveland's nomina-
ton, since it insures campaign in which
principles rather than persons will be
discussed, and frees the country from
wallowing ID the mire of personal abuse
and vituperation which has character
lied so many previous campaigns.

Warrants for: the Leaders.

PITTSBURGH. July .1S.-Sherif Nc
Cleary has sworn in number of special
deputies, who will serve bench warrants
on the leaders of the strike. 1t is said
that such a step will have greater eff
feet at Homestead than even the troops.
The fact that those arrested will be put
in Jail and cannot be released under
bail will take many of the leaders away,
and their counsel will be missed. On
the other hand it is claimed that this
step may cause the more hot headed to
break out as soon as the cooler leaders
are removed. It is not known how the
men will take the wholesale arrests.

THE DOCTRINE OF LIBERTY.
Democracy Stands Up for the Rights of
the People.

Democracy Stands Up for the Rights OF
the People.
The democratic party has always held
that lie lis the right of the citizen to make
and control the government; that when
he is governed at all against his con-
sent he is governed unjustly, and that
he cannot be justly governed in any re-
spect without this consent, previously
EXPIRE ssed in the contracts created by
constitutions and by statutes made in
accor lance with them. 1t has always
held that only such rights are to be sur
rendered to the majority making and
administering the laws as are absolute
ly essential to government for the
maintenance of peace and order. Be-
yond this it denies that the majority
has right to govern the individual,
whom it holds to be free to regulate his
own morals, his own religion, his own
business, his own amusementS, his own
education, his own food and drink, his
own habits of all kinds and the whole
conduct of his life without regard to
the will of the majority SO long and so
far to any extent whatever as he does
not disturb the peace of the majority
and by his course render good order i'm
possible.
The republican party holds now and
it has always held that the Individual
has no rights which may not rightly be
taken from him by statute if he is too
weak to prevent the statute from being
enacted for his subjugation. In this
Incorporate spirit of oppression it has
passed its prohibitory laws in the name
of temperance. and in this spirit in Ill
nois, Wisconsin, Massachusetts, and
other states it has attempted by statute
to overthrow the freedom of education;
to force the individual. to abandon the
right to obey his own conscientious
convictions; to compel him to accept
the dictum of politicians in the educa-
ton of his children; to send policemen

and to use the police power of the state

and secular. as are not s.authorized'' by

The declaration of the Chicago plat

against this tyranny is strong and time

constitutes an emphatic reaffirmation
of the democratic tenet of Individual
liberty at time when bigoted radical
ism in the states and in the United
states Is going to extremes in denying
that the individual has any rights

Non-Union Men I'm Route.

HOMESTEAD, Pa, July 14-At the
strikers headquarters it was reported
shortly after midnight that 400 non
union men were gathered in Pittsburgh
to be brought into Homestead to-day
The unusual activity among the troops
on the hill was supposed to have some
connection with the incoming train
load and much anxiety was expressed
a. to when and how they would be
brought in The generally accepted
theorv was that If the non-union men
were coming, which was doubted, they
would be got in under a heavy escort
about daybreak.

Perfect Peace.

HoMEsTE AID, Pa, July 12.-At a late
hour last night perfect peace and order
prevailed at Homestead. The streets
were almost deserted and the busy man
ufacturing town had taken on the ap-
pearance of a country village. One rea-
son for this is that most of the popula-
ton retired at an early hour to be up by
sunrise to participate in the reception
ceremonies to the militia, who are ex-
pected to march into the city at any
time. The bands held a rehearsal last
evening and determined upon the tunes
that should be played upon the arrival
of the militia.
