FINANCE BILLS INTRODUCED.
Stewart Is Prompt with Measures He Be-
lieves Will Give Relief

Hill OF New York was the irst to intro
duce bill. 1t provides for the repeal Of
sections l, 3 and of the Sherman act.
but declares that this is not to be consid
cred as an abandonment of bime;allisp
Then Stewart got in two bills. one a free
coinage bill pure an simple, and the other
directing the secretary of the treasury 10
issue silver certificates to the amount Of
the surplus silver bullion in tae treasury
and to use the surplus OF such certifi.

sciency in the revenu IS for the purchase o.

not exceeding II PEI cent. premium. This
he claimed would give relief TO the alleged
lack o5 money in the country.
These bills were ali referred to the
finance committee and the Hale spoke in
favor of prompt action on then matter pre-.
sented in the message. He declared that
Voorhees, had always been sound" on the
money question and could get his com
mittee togec er to-day and report
a resolution repeating the purchase clause
of the Sherman act. This precipitated an
interminable argument, in which German
took part, and in he course of which
Voorhees, announced that he should not
row, and made an attack on the Sherman
act, declaring that not single Democratic
vote in the senate was given on it. Sher-
man defended the act, and said the Demo.
cratic side was responsible for its worst
features.
Vest took hand here and said that the
statement of Sherman that his bill was
passed to prevent the passage of a free
silver bill was an extraordinary statement.
Sherman replied that "the house bill pro
vided for the monthly purchase of 4,5tO,
600 worth of silver, which would now buy
G, 5O0, 100 ounces. To defeat that measure.
and also to prevent tie passage of free
coinage bill as passed by the senate this
compromise measure was agreed upon"
Vest-That extraordinary statement i'm
plies that President Harrison would have
signed a free coinage bill, whereas nothing
is better known than that it was impossi-
Bile for such bill to pass over the presi-
dents veto
To this Sherman ret orted that he trusted
the time would never come when congress
would either compel or induce the presi-
dent to save it from the consequences of its
own action.

What They Did in the House.
In the house, after the message had been
read and the applause, which was general,
had subsidized, the Belknap- Richardson case
was taken up and the claims OF the two
contestants presented. Oates wanted the
matter referred 20 the election committee
when appointed. but motion to that ef-
feet was defeated. the Populists voting
with the Democrats Then Richardson was
seated on the prima facie claim. A motion
vas adopted authorizing the speaker to

Kansas CITY Opinion.

KANSAS CITY. Mo, Aug. s.-The Times,
being only anti-silver newspaper in
the southwest, is delighted with the presi-
dents message. The Star Qnd) says con-
ress should legislate on the terms OF the
message, and do it promptly. The Journal
(Rep.) says, practically: II told you so,"
with reference to where Cleveland stands
on the question. The Journal is bima-
tallist paper. The editor of the Rocky
Mountain News, radical silver, says the
message puts the president in the gold
standard ranks.

A Brilliant Retort,

After dinner speaking is an art, and, like
many other arts, its excellence has much to
do with the mood of the artist Some of
the best of our after dinner speakers some
times fail, but it is not often that failure
results in the enrichment of the world s
store of epigram, as it did in the case Of
Lord Erskine many years ago
When Lord Erskine was made member
OF that highly honorable body, the Fish
monger's Company Of London, he made an
after dinner speech on the occasion of his
first appearance among them as member.
Upon his return he said to friend:
II spoke i'll today and stammered and
hesitated In the opening"
You certainly foundered, twas the re-
ply, but thought you did so in compli-
ment to the fishmongers. "-Harper's Be-
xar.

4 Collector of Uniforms.

In Buda-Pesth lives an old tailor whose
business it is to mend uniforms. His great
wish when he was young was to serve in
the army, but he is so diminutive in size
that he was refused. To get over his dis
appointment he became an army tailor
and began to collect military relics, of
which his little house is so full that there
Is scarcely any room left for himself and
his small wife. Archduke EUgen discov-
cred him some time ago and told the aged
Field Marshal Archduke Albrecht about
him. When he went to Buda-P esth on Sat
urday, the two archdukes visited the tinv
tailor together and made him tell his
story and show his treasures 1t was the
happiest day of his life, and Archduke
Eugen's order of uniform delighted him
hardly less than the Archduke Albrecht' ;
sending him his photograph and purse of
goid.-Eienna Cor. London News.

Denver. Hopes Receive Death Blow IN
the Message.

DENVER, Aug. 9-The full text of Presi-
dent Cleveland's message was awaited
with anxiety in Colorado and particularly
in Denver. There had undoubtedly been
vague hope that Cleveland had to some
extent at least, abated his hostility to
wards silver, but the universal impression
upon careful reading Of the message was
that the chief executive had not altered
his views one iota. There was general
feeling of resentment towards the man
who is so generally held responsible in a
large measure for the prevailing distress
throughout the country. and proposition
to burn the president in. effigy was freely
aired

With winter and shade before,
You crowd In your regal splendOr
Through the autumns closing door.
White as the snow that Is coming,
Red rs the rose that is gone,
Gold as the heart Of the lilies,
Pink as the flush Of the dawn
Confident, winsomc, stately,
You throng In the wane OF the year,
Trooping an army with banners
When the leaness woods are sere.
Sweet is your breath as Of spices
From far sea island blown.
Chaste your robes as Of vestals
Trimming their lamps alone.
Strong as your hearts, and sturdy
The life that In root and stem

In each fowcry diaden.
Nothing Of bloom and odor
Have your peerless lcrions lost,
Marching In fcrvid beauty
To challenge the death white frost
SO TO the eye OF sorrow
We bring flicker Of light:
The check that was wan with illnoss
Smiles ut your faces bright
The children laugh In greeting,
And the dear old people say:
Here ore the selfsame darllnRs
We loved IN our own young day."
As, summer and sun behind you,
Winter and shade before,
You crowd In your regal splcndor
Through the autumn's closing door.

1t is gratifying to observe the interest
which the present board Of aldermen is
taking in the sidewalk question. The
committee OF streets and alleys today
looked owe all the sidewalks and street
crossings. and will lay their report be-
fore the Council tonight. The Park
street walk is the one which brought up
the subject. and it il safe to say that the
matter will be properly handled this
evening.
The proposition to lay a new sidewalk
on the west side Of Park street. in front
the city park. is certainly deserving Of
consideration. and from the talk in the
Council last night. one is led to think
that il there is any show for the money
to he available. it will receive favorable
action. Mr.. Collins and his friends will
undoubtedly give 500 towards the
work. leaving the city 10 pay between
600 and 500. 1t will afford ladies' and
children an opportunity to reach the
depot under much better circumstances
than any present walk. and will be a
great benefit.
