The Democratic party was called upon
to meet great Crisis. Mr.. Cleveland was
great leader. and he was ready To- SUD-
port that leader. iApplause.l Hedid not
care who was responsible for these pres
ent difficulties. When a great city was on
fire no one. cared what old woman's
COW had kicked over the lamp.
Every one wanted to put out the
fire. The responsibility TO extinguish
the FIRE rested with the Democrats. III the
Republican party chose to help them.it II 1t
was willing 10 come forward on the lines
which Mr.. Cleveland had Indicated. they
would accept It's help and would be CRATE
ful for It's support. If it shared the risk 1t
would also share in the glory.
SIMPSON FOR FREE COINAGE.
Mr.. Simpson Populist). of Kansas,
spoke in favor Of free coinage. He severely
criticised the Democratic party Tor lts
absolute uselessness. Who ever had
heard OF the Democratic party ever re-
peallng law or making law Laughter,
Tho Democratic party was not party OF
progress. lRepublican applause.l There
was no Democratic party any more. IL

TO the Republican party and charged the
present depression of business TO Republl-
can legislation.
Before Mr.. Simpson had concluded his
remarks the House, at O'Clock took q
recess until O'clock, the evening session
70 be devoted to debate on the silver bill.
About twenty-five members only were
present when the House met at O'Clock.
Mr.. Simpson concluded his speech. He
was opposed To compromise OH any ratio.
COMPROMISES were dangerous. The men
OF the South and West would not stoop
down TO any aristOcracy. and probably
they would not stoop down to moneyed
aristocracy.
Mr.. Morgan Democrat), of,Missouri, ad-
yocated the free coinage OF silver.
APPEAL FOR ACTION.
Blr. Talbert (Democrat), Of South Caro-
lima. appealed 10 the representatives, OF the
people 10 10y aside all party politics and
to act as one man for the benefit of the
country. He appealed to them to
give 10 the people the free coinage
Of silver. He was ready 10 stand
by the free coinage plank Of the Chicago
platform, as be was ready to stand 10y
every plank OF the platform upon which
he had been elected. The Sherman act
was makeshift, but 1t was quinine pill
that would do good temporarily. though
il would not be of any permanent beneht.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Talberts re-,
marks the House, at 1905, adjourned until
tomorrow.

1t seems that the ball or shell wnlca
struck me had torn my scalp, carrying
away the periosteum of the occipital
bone and cracking the latter so that
subsequent infamm alton caused the ex-
poliation or throwing off of the bone.
Portions of the inner table of the
skull came away, but the in
ner periosteum remained intact;
nature has provided new matter, which
has formed a thin shell-like protection
over my brain. At the time the bone
was removed the surgeons could feel
the pulsations of the brain, the inner
periosteum having become visible.
After the bone was removed Profess
sor F. X. Hamilton, who attended Pres
ident Garfield during his last illness,
examined my wound and was so struck
with the peculiarly of the fracture that
he took me to Bellevue Hospital, where
furnished the subject of lecture to
the clinic. This lecture was published
in the London Lancet for 1864.
At the clinic with me was man
named Monk, with small hole in his
head. That is, it appeared very small
beside mine, though the lecturer init
mated that his chances of surviving
were not as good as mine.
Another interesting and not very
cheerful feature of this experience was
the fact that the lecturer brought from
cabinet number of skulls, each one
representing some phase of fracture
of the head. He would hold up one
after another of these ghastly memen-
