Summer is merry time to almost everyone
but the sick. Little happiness falls to the lot
OF the sufferer from a phi vsical ailment, as,
when the body is racked with pain. tbs mind
cannot be joyous.
But the hope of happiness is held out to the
unfortunate aiing by The assurance thai their
ills can be healed. This assurance is expressed
by many good people in thess columns. The
words OF praise and CONNIE datio n they speak
cannot fail to make the i'm preston they desire
to create. Their object is noble and lofty
one 1t is to enable Others to find the way to
health and the enjoyment OF the physical we'll
being that God intended all to enjoy.
Now, tn the assurance that there are phy-
siclans who can furnish the relief and cure
that the sick desire, is the further assurance
that the cost will be 80 small that even those
most severely pressed for money can afford it.
Self-preservation is the fist law of nature, and
though this law works cruel effects at times, 1t
is just and proper. Our frst tuty is to our.

THE SCARCITY OF CURRENCY.

Comptroller Eckels Has Hopes for Re-
lief This Week.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 14.-Comptroller
Eckels thinks the currency situation
will be considerably improved this week
by money sinking to it's nominal value.
The premium paid for the use of cur
rency is drawing money from its hiding
places and during the coming week more
currency will be issued on bonds depos-
tied by banks than during the same
period for many years. The currency
was increased by this method during
July $5,000,000, and more than this
amount has been thus far in August.
When to this 500, ,000, 900 gold ordered
from abroad is added, there is certainly
strong ground to hope for relief.
PHILADELPHIA. Aug. A. The superin-
tendent of the Philadelphia mint has re-
ceived instructions from Washington to
70 push small gold coinage and subsi-
lisry silver as rapidly as possible, and
4 need be to have the mint worked after
lours to get the specie out.

Republicans of the house announce theif
intention of taking little or no part in

they were refused a chance to amend
the order regulating the debate. They
declare that they do not believe that
free silver or no silver, which are the
only two alternatives possible in the
Bland order. are the only two possible
solutions of the question. They would
have been glad to have secured vote on
another proposition which they believed

the silver question is disposed of. The
story circulated Saturday to the effect
that Secretary Carlisle had stated that
Wilson Of West Virginia would succeed
Springer as chairman OF the ways and

HOUSE PROCEEDINGS.

The Silver Debate Drxgs Its Weary
Length Along.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 14.-In the house
today the silver debate was resumed.
Boatner, Democrat. OF Louisiana spoke
in favor of free coinage.
Boatner was folio we'd by Layton, DEM
ocrat, of Ohio, on unconditional repeal,
and hes by Patterson, Democrat, of
Tennessee, on the came line.
Simpson, Populist. Of. Kansas, read a
speech made by the gentleman from
session of the fifty-second congress, ad-
vecating free coinage of silver, and asked
him to reconcile those views with those
he held today.
Patterson replied that he had modified
his views.
Snodgrass, Democrat, of Tennessee
asked Patterson, if, when Grover Cleve-
land was candidate for denomination,
he Patterson wis not strong advocate
OF the nomination of Hill.
Patterson declined to talk On this sub
ject, but said he was with Cleveland for
sound currency, economic government
and fair and just and equal taxation.
lApplause.l
Bailey, Democrat, of Texas followed in
q speech advocating the Bland free coin
age substitute for the Wilson repeal bill.
Pendleton, Democrat, of West Virginia
was satisfied that the only way a parity
could be brought about between gold and
silver was for the country to come to
accord with the other commercial nations
of the world.
Warner, Democrat, of New York would
vote for the coinage OF gold and silver on
. parity, but these metals must be OF
the same intrinsic value.
