COMPROMISE TALK,
1t Has Been Revived at the
National Capital.
NEXT WEEK MAY SETTLE MATTERS.

General Belief Among Senators That
the Silver Question VIII Soon BE Dis
posed of-The Days Proceedings in the
National LeGislature-Im Important Va
cancies in the Diplomatic Service at the
Disposal of the ePresidcnt-Capital Briefs.
WASHINGTON, Oct 7-Althhough there
does not appear to be anything tangible
upon which to base the conclusion there
seems to be general belief on the part of
senators that the silver question will be
disposed of by the end of next week. Just
how and in what way no one presumes to
say, but the fact remains that this idea
has many adherents, and believing that
this programme will be carried out some
s.nators are making their arrangements
to leave the city by the 18th of the month.
The compromise talk has been revived to
some extent and the details of many diff
erent propositions were discussed by
senators in the cloak rooms. 1t is said
that au attempt will be made next week
to hold prolonged sessions Night sessions
will begin probably Tuesday evening and
| continue until Wednesday night has been
| exhausted. Then, according TO reports
| that have been circulated, compromise
| amendment will be offered and put to a
vote with the expectation that IL will be
| carried.
How They Would Take 1t.
II such an amendment should be voted
| down the silver men would take it as an
| indication of bad faith and at once resume
the tactics that have been utilized since
! this extraordinary session began, leaving
| the situation, so far as the senate is con-
cerned, precisely where it was when con-
| gress convened on Aug. :. IT, on the other
hand, propositions for compromise are
| scorned the silver men will meet the issue
and embrace the opportunity of holding
! night sessions and interpose no objections
| even to continuous sessions. They will,
| however, in this event become the aggres-
| sors and insist that there shall be a quorum
of fOrty-three repeal senators i'll the senate
| all the time. BY this they say they mean
| in their seats and the moment any of them
| repair to the cloak rooms or committee
room call of the senate viii be ordered.
If the repeal men can occupy Their seats
constantly the silver men say they can
keep up the debate, and Senator Stewart
says he alone can talk as long as the sena-
tors can remain TO listen and if they
inaugurate any method of holding sessions
they will be compelled to listen.

OCEAN RECORD BROKEN.
The New Cunarder Lucania Beats the
Paris Time One Hour.


Paris Time One Hour.
NEW YORK, Oct. The fast Cunard
steamer Lucania, which has arrived from
Liverpool, via Queenstown, and which
came within an hour and thirteen minutes
of breaking the western record (held by
the steamer Paris on her maiden voyage,
has succeeded on this, her second, westward
trip in establishing a new record, having
made the passage in 3 days, IS hours and
- minutes The record of the Paris was
5 days, II hours and 24 minutes. The
Lucania, therefore, breaks the best record
for western trip by SO minutes. She
passed the Daunts Rock at lis p. N. Oct.
! and was reported off Sandy Hook light
ship at 1918 p. N. Oct. 6. Her former
(maiden) voyage was made in 5 days, Is
hours and 81 minutes, feat regarded as
remarkable considering the fact that her
machinery was entirely new, and iusti-
flying the belief that she would break all
records on this trip, which expectations

The following is an editorial article
that appeared in recent number OF
the Washington, ID. c.. Post:
In the opinion of the Hon. William
M. Springer, of Illinois, silver legis-
lation is to cut no great figure in the
legislation of the next session of con-
eress. 1t is the tariff question that
calls for early action. He admits,
however, that the export of gold is u
factor in the problem which has to be
considered in the arrangement of a
revenue tariff, and may involve diff
culties of adjustment.
As one of the veteran leaders OF
tariff reform, to the accomplishment
of which he has devoted years of stu.
dious observation and active effort
Mr.. Springer's views are always en-
titled to weight and are clearly ex-
pressed.
As long ago as 1871, in the genera
assembly of Illinois, of which he wa,
at that time member, Mr.. Springer
offered the following resolutions:
That all systems of taxation fol
protection and all class Legislation
Rock Island daily Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1886-1893, 1893-05-04

and monopolies are wrong in Princi-
pie and contrary to the spirit of our
free institutions"
Although the resolution was voted
down, it's author was not dishearten-
ed. The principle here stated be-
came the key note of his after life, so
far as the agitation of the revenue
reform is concerned, and he has
steadily adhered to it ever since, un-
til at last as chairman of the ways
and means committee of the house
he found an overwhelming majority
of the democratic party in thorough
accord with him upon this subject.
And now that the opportunity is at
hand, with the democracy in power
in the two great branches of the gov
eminent, to carry into practical eff
feet the policy that he has so consis-
tently advocated, it is creditable to
the courage and good faith of Mr..
Springer's convictions that he is
still at the front and ready for the
fray.
The pledges of the party remain to
be carried out, and mainly upon the
sagacity with which they are fulfilled,
so as to promote the prosperity of
the country and bring out of compli-
Gated conditions a revenue system
that shall meet all requirements, will
depend the success of the present ad-
ministration.

What He said.

The young man had been to call on
the girl the night before, and she was
expecting to hear something of espe-
cial interest to her, but somehow,
though he talked great deal, he did
not say those things she wanted to
hear most. The next morning her
mother, who also was somewhat in
terested, preached the subject.
Mr.. Henderson staid quite late
last night, didn't hel' she asked.

vIv People Yawn and stretch.

We feel inclined to stretch because
the muscles of the body are in IA
tigued state, and by stretching we
seem to awaken them to the proper
tone for renewed action. Moreover,
the muscles of respiration share III
this fatigue and perform their work
imperfectly; hence we often yawn as
we'll as stretch, the mouth gapes, and
the Jaws are separated widely SO as
TO admit as much air as possible. Ac-
cording to Richeraud, the Growing

Settling q Dispute.

Uncle John Berry was an eccentric
man with a large amount of common
sense. Two of his townsmen, who
had been lifelong friends, had fall
ing out Abram Green was going to
sue Benjamin Brown, while Brown
threatened to bring a countersuit
against Green, and the prospect was
good for a long string of lawsuits.
At this point friends interfered and
persuaded the two men to leave the
matter to Uncle John Berry.
The old man consented to act as
Judge on two conditions. Neither of
the disputants should employ law
yer, and they should promise to
abide by his decision.
To this they agreed, and Uncle
John drew up a bond which they
signed, agreeing to pay him $500 if
they did not abide by his Judgment.
After the papers We're duly exc
cuted Uncle John took the contest
ants into a room from which every
one else was excluded, and seating
himself at the end of a table told
Green to sit at his right facing
Brown, who sat on the opposite side
of the table.
Then he had Brown tell his story.
If Green tried to interrupt him, he
was made to keep still. When Mr..
Brown was done, Mr.. Green told his
story, while Brown in turn was
obliged to remain silent.
Have either of you ANYTHING
more to say" asked the referee.
Neither of them spoke.
Uncle John was silent for minute.
Then he held out hand to each and
said
My decision is that each of you
pay me so cents and go home-50
cents apiece, go home and s8y moth
ing more about this business.
They both began to eXpostulate.
That was no way to settle the mat
ter. they declared. They wanted to
know which was right.
But Uncle John was firm.
My decision is" he repeated,
that each of you pay me so cents,
go home and say nothing more about
it, or else pay me $500. 1 have your
bond for that amount, and l know
you are good for it.

A MONUMENT FOR THE SOLDIERS

A monument for the soldiersl
And what will ye build it Of?
Can We build It of marble or brass OF bronze,
Out1asting the soldiers love?
Can We glorify it with legends
As grand as their blood hath writ
From the inmost shrine of this Land OF thine
To the outermost verge of il?
And the answer came: We would build It
Out OF our hopes made sure,
And out of our purest prayers and tears,
And out of our faith secure.
We would build it out of the great white
truths
Their death hath sanctified.
And the sculptured forms OF tho men In
arms,
And their faces ere they died.
And what heroic figures
Can the sculptor carve in stone!
Can the marble breast be made to bleed
And the marble lips to moan?
Can the marble brow be fevered?
And the marble eyes be Graved
To look their last as the flag floats past
On the country they have saved?
And the answer came: The figures
Shall all be fair and brave,
And, as BETTING, as pure and white
As the stars above their grave!
The marble lips and breast and brow
Whereon the laurel lies,
Bequeath us right to guard the flight
OF the old flag in the skies!
\ monument for the soldiers!
Built Of peoples love
And blazoned and decked and panoplied
With the hearts ye build it of!
And see that We build it stately,
In pillar and niche and gate,
And high in pose as the souls of those
1t would commemorate!

HOW TO SAVE
MONEY.
"a Stitch in Time"

Now is the time to commence
treating for the Gold" that has
troubled you all winter.
Why do the physicians of the Scott
Medical institute make this state
ment?
In reply we would say. We have
been Overrun with business during
the winter. Numbers of cases for
consultation we have advised to wait
for warmer weather before commcnc-
ing treatment. Now is the best time
of the wear. We do not say this SIM
ply for the sake of making money
but because we can treat diseases of
the throat. lung and catarrh to bet
ter advantage now than at any other
time of the wear. Our disadvantage
haa been we did not have the facili-
ties for treating the great number of
cases thronging our offices. We have
dozens of patients who have to wait
until 10 y. m. to receive their treat
mcnt. To obviate this we have added
another treating room to our office
and secured the assistance of DR..
Morris. Buffalo. n. Y, and patients
viii not be required to wait so long.
We say with pardonable pride that
this is the only private Office in Iowa
