The Senate OF the United States occupies
an hOnored place in the hearts Of many
American citizens, but IL 1t wastes very
much more time in discussing a situation
with which the people are already too well
acquainted 1t win lose several friends.
There il before the Senate at this time a
legislative proposition which the House Of
Representatives. by a large majority, has
declared to be sound and Of great import
ance. Before that propositon-which is to
repeal Internationally the silver purchase
law Of IS9o-can be of any practical effect
the Senate must vote affirmAtively thereon,
and that the Senate is evidently not in q
hurry to do. In spite OF the vigorous effort
of determined and patriotic men the finan-
cial condition. while slowly improving. Is
still very far from satisfactory. and II will
continue to be unbalanced until the Senate
sets the seal of its approval upon the bill
which 1t Is now considering. Further de-
bate is unnecessary and inexcusable. Every
wasted hour means delay in the recuper-
alive process. and every day Of senatorial
language and miscalled courtesy means
prolonged stagnation and the bankruptcy
OF many men. Should there be six months
of debate II will change not even a single
vote. and this fact Is patent to every Sena-
tor. Why, then. delay? Why not at cnce
come to a vote? One of the legitimate re-
suits of this polite procrastination Is found
in the document framed by :ightsously-
angered aSrtculturists who nave appealed
to Governor Tillman to call an extra ses-
rion Of the South Carolina legislature to
pass a stay law on all debts falling due on
or before November Is. so that. as they put
IT, I'VE may be enabled to pay our debts
without bankrupting ourselves and starv-
ing our wives and children" The country
Is endeavoring. and with some show Of sue
cess to climb out of the financial hole In
which for some time past 1T has been COM
PEELED to wallow; 1t is hampered by sepa-
torial Inactivity; 1t will be aided II every
Senator who has or thinks he has views
on the subject Of money will waive the
utterance of those views until after vote
has been taken. The Congressional Record
was never less appreciated than at the
present time.

In the game Of see-saw now going on at
the Capitol the anti-silver men in the Sen
ate and the friends Of silver in the House
each managed yesterday to score a victory
OF these victories. however. the greater

hees, who. as chairman Of the committee
on finance, now holds the situation in his
grasp. By vote Of IS to 81 Senator PEI
fer's resolution of inquiry as to national
banks was referred to the committee on
finance; the Voorhees, bill providing for the
Increase Of national bank circulation was,
by Its authors action, removed from among
the unfinished business on the calendar.

the bill to repeal the silver purchase pro-
vision of the act Of 1890 becomes a part of
the regular order of business 1t is there

IN accordance with the law duly made and
provided this Is the day on which the life
saving season opens, and according to the
provisions of the same law the season will
continue until the first day of April next.
From the first day of April until the first day
of September Congress seems to suppose that
the oceans will be calm as the proverbial
mill-pond. and that human life among those
who go down to the sea in ships will not
be in danger. The absurdity Of this con-
clusion has never been more thoroughly or
sadly demonstrated than during the past
two or three weeks. Storm after storm has
beaten on our shores and from the rocky
barriers of Maine to the vast stretches of
southern sand wreckage and the bodies of
men and women who might have been
saved give heart-rending testimony to the
Observation-Disclosures of our legislators and the
insufficiency of the appropriation devoted to
a good cause. From now until the first OF
April all the life-savine stations will be
fully manned, but II Is questionable whether
throughout even the bitterness Of winters
Eales there will be more necessity for full
complement Of crews than has existed dur
ing this just departed month of August

during the recent hurricanes on the north

VIII hardly attempt to justify its penurious-
ness by arguing that the summer boarders
at seaside hotels can attend to all the
wrecks that take place between the first Of
April and the first of September There Is
no reason why the life-saving stations
should not be In working trim all the year
round, for there is no season when we are
exempt from marine disaster. And while
Congress Is attending TO this important mat
ter IL can add greatly to its reputation and
to the reputation of the country by agreeing
to pay the keepers and surfmen reasonably
good salaries and then by appropriating
enough money to make the promise good.

Heads OF Departments Must Report

WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.-The report of
the committee on accounts abolishing
clerks to unimportant committees was
agreed to.
Loud of talifornia, raising question OF
privilege, called the attention of the housc
to the fact that two resolutions of inquiry.
which he introduced over a week ago, had
not been reported TO the house. The first
was q resolution calling upon the at
torney general for the instructions given
to the United States district judges
and the United States marsha,s relating
to tho Geary Chinese exclusion act.
Loud explained that he pursued the un-
usual course OF calling up this resolution
as privileged question because Of the
near approach of possible legislation on
the subject Everett bill), and the house
had right to know what steps had been
taken to enforce the present exclusion
act. Resolutions OF inquiry addressed TO
tho heads of departments, under tho
rules. must be reported to the house
within a week. After some discussion.
participated i'm by Oates, Springer and
McCr Crary. the chair held that Loud's ques-
tion was privileged. The previous ques-
tion on the resolution was ordered.

tho secretary of the treasury for instruc-
tions TO be forwarded to collectors of GUS
toms and other officials Of the depart
ment with reference TO the enforcement
of the Geary law, and also for informa-
tion as 10 the number of Chinese in this
country, the number dcported. and the
number registered under the act. were
also agreed to. The house then ad-

HAZELToN. Pa, Sept. 22.-Silver Brook,

turned topsy-turvy on Friday evening by
the sensational termination of wedding.
for which elaborate arrangements had

kalskey. Miss kalskey's charms have
captivated scores Of the sterner scx. and
not n few of them were aspirants for her
hand Among the latter were Clarence
Winters and John Formoska. Both paid
the girl marked attention and until about
a month ngo no one could tell which would
bc the favored one. II was then AN
nounced that Winters and Miss kalskey
were TO be married.
Friday was to be the wedding day. The
guests had assembled at the home of the
bride and the minister stood in readiness
to tie the nuptial knot. Despite all this,
Formoska, the rejected lover. did no, lose
hope. Miss kalskey had come to HaEle.
ton on the morning of her wedding day to
mako the final purchases for her bridal
outfit. Her old lover. il seems, learned o.
this and when she was ready to return to
Silver Brook met her OH the train and
again he pressed his suit.
He pleaded with her to forsake the man
who was then waiting her arrival at the
depot. Whether the woman consented TO
do this is not known. but when the train
stopped at Silver Brook she did not alight
from il. Winters, who stood at the depot
saw the train pull out. lie glanced

WASHINGTON. Sept. 22.-The repeal mon
In the senate are still hopeful Of reaching
vote at n comparatively early day and
none Of them place the time beyond the
first week in October. II will be observed
that this will be in time TO get the bill out
of the way for the federal elections bill IL
that bill should come over from the house
of representatives on October 2. as II prob
ably will. They say, however, even In
case the federal elections bill should reach
the senate before the financial bill Is out
of the way, the bill would be in no danger
Of displacing the latter measure. The
silver senators believe that the agreement
reached to-day will inure to their benefit
and are very much pleased with 1t. They
are determined to hold on until IL can he
ascertaincd whether the elections bill can
he taken up in the senate to the displacc-
ment of the silver bill. II is understood
that the agreement is for only a week, but
it is presumed il necessary il will bo re-
moved at the expiration Of that time.
