WASHINGTON, Oct. 13.-The silver
men were not so severe as anticipated
on their opponents, only calling for
quorum about once an hour, allowing
the repealists considerable time to
sleep. Between and Z o'clock yes
terday evening proposition TO take
a recess until 10 o'clock this morning
was rejected by the silver men on the
ground that the repeal senators had
forced the continuous session and
must abide the consequences. Sena-
tor Aliens power of endurance was
amazing to all. a few minutes before
s O'Clock yesterday evening the
quorum was first broken, vote dis
closed only forty present. In couple
of minutes three more senators came
in and the vice president announced a
quorum present. Mr.. Voorhees,
moved to lay the PETER free coinage
amendment to the repeal bill on the
table and thus suddenly precipitated
crisis. Roll call showed no quorum
present. Dillatory motions. points Of
order without number were made and
finally by a vote OF SO for to II
against, the amendment was tabled.
and Martin of Kansas took the floor
against repeal. At 1:45 this morning
after continuous session Of 81 hours

WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.-The resolu-
ton offered by Mr. Wolcott directing
the committee on finance to report a
bill embodying the bi-metallic declara-
ton contained in the Voorhees, substi-
tute for the Wilson repeal bill was
taken up yesterday and Mr.. Wolcott
addressed the senate in favor of its
adoption. but more particularly in
criticism of the presidents letter to
Gov. NOrthen of Georgia, characteriz-
ing it as intrusive and offensive. Mr..
Voorhees, said that the constant asser-
ton that the pending bill demOnetized
silver was not a fact. The pending
bill did not take from a single dollar
of silver money its monetary value.
Mr.. Voorhees, then defended the
declaration of the policy of bi-metal-
lism contained in the senate substitute
saying more had been accomplished
by Just such declarations than by
positive laws. and he cited the Decla-
ration of Independence as an illustri-
Gus example. MIR Teller said if the
pending bill became a law it was a
complete and utter extinguishment OF
silver as standard money all over the
world. The resolution went to the
calendar and the repeal bill was taken
up.

CIrreIand,. Cabinet.

The plain fact OF the matter is that
Cleveland cabinet is the weakest
ever got together by an American
president. Gresham is a mugwump
of considerable native ability, but he
is jurist rather than a statesman.
Carlisle is a statesman of the second
class, called to position that should
have been filed by an experienced
business man. The remainder of the
cabinet is a Job lot OF odds and ends,
without one spark of genius, without
one ray of real talent. without sin
gle claim 10 distinction from the COM
mon herd. But for Cleveland force
of character-bu for the fact
that he rules his official fam
lily as sultan might his
harem his cabinet would be the
laughingstock of Christendom. I'm
agine man like James Buchanan at
the head of such a layout. An
tonic Express.
Had we found the above in Popu-
list paper. or one that IS openly Re
publican. we would have thought but
little of it, but It is rather a singular
declaration to come from paper that
pretends to be great admirer of the
president, and can see nothing but
greatness in him. The inference
naturally would be that Cleveland
purposely selected lot OF fools that
he might be able to play the sultan
in his political family.-New Braun

Continuous Session.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 12.-The test OF
endurance on the silver question Is
finally on in the senate. At o'clock,
yesterday as per notice given by Voor-
hees few days ago, the matter of a
continuous session came up. The
anti-repeal men, through Senator Du-
bois, announced that they would ask
for no adjournment. Dubois did the
speaking. 1t was known some time
ago that he would be the spokesman.
He is a young man with fine physique
and is understood to be the selection
of his side to do most of the fatigue
work. A coincidence in this fight is
that he is relative of Voorhees,. who
leads the other side, and Voorhees,
and Dubois fathers were the very
closest friends. The young senator is
bright. with good flow of language,
but he INDUCES more in sarcasm than
flights of oratOry, and he is especially
fitted for the work before him, which
consists of enduring and at the same
time annoying the other side. He has
prepared himself for the occasion.

I: is very refreshing to see the plute
press abusing the people for being
frightened and drawing their money
out of shaky banks! Oh, yes, the
dear people should go right On-lose
their money-let bankers, who are
quilting them and building fortunes of
from their savings, have their money
to lose for them,
A man who will not draw his money
out in shaky times is an idiot and
ought to have his head shaved. In
the first place a man never ought to
leave any money in the bank for more
than a few days. He should invest it
himself. That's what the banker
does.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 8. Secretary
Carlisle made a visit to the senate
wing OF the capitol Saturday after
noon. Coming at this juncture, when
every one of the senators was expect
ing the unusual 20 happen, the visit
created a sensation He had Just
come from a close conference with the
president, and it was naturally sup
posed that he had some important
message for individual senators or for
the body at large. If such was the
case he did not take the pains TO fur
nish the public with the same infor-
nation. He spent about two hours in
conference with various Democratic
senators in the marble room and the
room of the finance committee, but
did not enter the chamber. Among
others with whom he conversed were
Mr.. Voorhees, and Mr.. Harris. The
report was soon set in circulation that
he had been sent as the president s
personal official representative to ar
range the terms Of an agreement with
the opposing forces of the Democratic
ranks in the senate. Inquiry, how
ever, developed the fact that the visit
was just the opposite, hence no COM
promise.

CONGRESSIONAL NEWS.
Senator Stewart Holds the Floor all Day and is
Succeeded by a.. PETER.
PRESIDENT FIRM FOR ABSOLUTE REPEAL.
II All Oilers for Compromise Are Rejected Nothing
is Left but an Adjournment Of Congress-
coekrsll Wants Compromise.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-THE floor
of the senate was occupied all day by
Mr.. Stewart of Nevada, who ceased
speaking at s o'cock, and was sue
ceeded by Mr.. PETER, who promised
to hold forth all night. The presi-
dent remains firm for unconditional
repeal, and Mr. Voorhees, will hold
out as long as he can keep a quorum.
The failure OF the thirty-eight hours
session early yesterday morning.
however, without accomplishing a
single result beyond a demonstration
to the country that the silver men
are capable of keeping of a vote on
the Voorhees, bill indefinitely has
lampened the enthusiasm of the weary
and broken repeal senators and they
have returned to the fight disheart-
sned and discouraged. Meanwhile
the efforts of the compromises to
find a common ground goes on.
The basis seems to be the
Harris and Vest amendments
but there is a wide difference of opin-
ion as to whether the bond provision
should or should not be adopted. If
the president continues to reject all
propositions looking to compromise,
nothing is left but an adjournment Of
congress, unless the leaders should
decide to go ahead and pass a compro-
mise measure AMI send it to the white
house and place the responsibility of
vetoing or signing it at Cleveland's
door. Judging from the outcome of
other continuous sessions there is lit
tie chance of any practical result from
this second attempt to force vote,
even if the senate can be held in ses-
sion. The president has not yet given
his consent to a compromise. The
leaders of the repeal forces still say,
for publication. that they will not be
a party to a compromise, but they are
nevertheless participating in an effort
to arrange one. At 1850 p. IN. the
senate adjourned.
