VANCE ON REPEAL.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-The Senate
took up the House bill TO repeal the
silver purchase clause Of the Sherman
act, with the Voorhees, bill as q sub
stitute.
Vance of North Carolina, one of the
minority members of the Finance
Committee spoke in opposition to the
bill and in favor Of free coinage. A
large part Of his speech was devoted
to showing the Inconsistencies of the
friends of repeal. Their views are
distinctly partisan, as there we're BIZ
metallic declarations in both nationa!
platforms. He quoted from these,
commenting In an ironical Ftrain on
the way in which the pledges are be-
ing fulfilled. He said they seemed to
think the only way to maintain par
ity between gold aud silver was to
first strike silver death blow. IN
conditional repeal would be death
blow, for it was known that Cleveland
would veto any silver bill. The effect
on the condition Of mankind follow
ing the destruction Of half the cur
rency Of the world, aggregating ST.
5C2,O00,WO, would be impossible to
accurately describe. He gave his
tory Of the demonstration Of silver,
and declared that every Government
which had demonetized the white
metal did 30 when it was at premi-
um. When coinage was stopped in
India an effort to have it stopped in
the United States began, aided by
the Influence OF the moneyed powers
of all the world and our own Govern
ment. If coinage was stopped here
silver would cease to live throughout
the commercial world. The fall in
price would be greater than that fol-
lowing the stnppage Of coinage in
India. Repeal without substitute
meant the end OF silver money for
the present generation, unless revo-
luton OF the people should restore it.
Lot no man doubt that repeal was
the result Of conspiracy among the
money holders. He declared that the
Sherman law did not drive out gold.
Why did gold return with IT still in
force? The Democratic platform de-
nounced the Sherman act as "a cow
ardly makeshift." The bill for it's
repeal, striking silver a harder blow,
was more cowardly and more Ut a
makeshiit. He closed with decla-
ration for the free coinage of silver.
After discussion as to the relative
parlianer tary status Of the silver re-.
peal bill and substitute unanimous
consent was asked for the adoption Of
ths'substitute pro forma, and have
all amendments treated ia amend
merits- to the substitute. 49, -
Cockrell objected on the ground
that the House bill was preferable To
the substitute.
The discussion is still progressing
The Senate Committee on Judiciary
through Senator Teller, favorably re-
ported to the Senate bill submitting
to the Court Of Private Land Claims
the claims OF William McGarrahan
to the Rancho Panochs Grande in
California.

Wealthy Indians.

The Coeur d'Alenes are the wealth.
lest Indian tribe in the northwest.
Many of the Indians have from ST.
600 to $b, 900 on deposit in the local
banks, with the local merchants or
in Spokane. They all own good
farms, most of which are fenced and
being rapidly placed in cultivation.
They have good houses, and many
are setting out nice orchards, which
will be bearing fruit in few years.
They are very careful with their
money, buying but few things they
do not need and paying cash for each
article as it is purchased, thus allow
ing no chance for cheating in figur-
ing up bill. They understand max
ing change, but cannot compute fig.
ures. Many of them, especially the
children, can read and write, and the
latter can be heard reading the signs
aloud as they walk along the streets
Portland Oregonian.

Great Heads ap, Little wit.

Great men are usually said to have
great memories, but it does not fol
low that all who have great mem
ories are great men. remember an
idiot in Ohio who was great curios'
ity many years ago. He knew the
whole Bible by heart from beginning
to end, and If any verse was read or
repeated to him he could tell exactly
in what book and chapter it was to
be found and its verse number in the
chapter. He was considered great
marvel in this particular, but in ev
cry other he was mental imbecile
and could not be trusted even to feed
himself. st. Louis Globe Democrat.

the HAWKS shrawdness,

A very common practice among
the hawks of this country is to fol
low close in the track of railroad
train, flying low down near the
ground. The small birds along the
line, startled by the roar of the cars,
fly up in clouds, and the hawk takes
his pick of the fattest of the lot. The
little birds are so alarmed by the
noise of the train that they do not
see the hawk, and before they can
get away he has replenished his lar.
der. The fact has often been OBJ
served by persons living along the
lines of railroads, and is a singular
illustration of the faculty of adapta-
ton possessed by ANIMALS that are
forced to hve by their wits. --Ex.

The Alexandra Baking Powder Is
the Best and Cheapest.

For more than five years this
Baking Powder has been in use in
this market. Some 200, 900 cans have
been sen. out with request that 1t 1t
did not give satisfaction they should
be returned, and none ever came
back. This is good evidence that
they gave general satisfaction.
The retail price OF the Alexandra
baking powder iss.25 cents pound.
The other best standard brands are so
cents pr pound, and it takes double
the quantity it does of the Alexandra
baking powder, which makes it cost
four times as much.
There are other baking powders
sold here as low as Is cents per Id /,
but, like the high priced powders, it
takes two teaspoonfuls to each quart
of -four The Alexandra requires only
one, and that makes 25 cents worth
of it 90 as far as 30 ceuts of the so.
called cheap powders.
Then it is made in Waco, gives
employment to home people and all
the expenses and profits are spent
here, Another advantage, the fnctory
will buy back all the empty cans and
cases if returned in good condition.
Fresh roasted and green coffee al
ways on hand. Also pure and fresh
ground spices.
Coffee aud peanuts roasted and de.

made to induce Maj T. G. Tibbs &c
make the race for alderman in the
Third ward. The major is an expert
enced man of business and n the
past has served the city very accepts
ably as alderman. Should he consent
to make the race he would doubtless
be elected and prove to be valuable
accession to that body.
