THURSDAY. SEPT. IA.

In the Senate. after the disposition of some
routine work. Senator Daniel IVA, d. took
the floor against the repeal bill. Senator Daniel
is regarded the greatest orator in the Old
Dominion State. He displayed much force and
passion in his delivery. which occupied over
four hours. The principal point he made was
the statement that the demonstration of silver
would require the small gold reserve of the
Treasury to float not only 1000, 900 of paper
money, but 600000,000 of silver money, and
that thereby all the securities throughout the
eouRtry would decrease in value
Mr.. Voorhees, moved that the Senate proceed

Occasionally the members of Congress get
good joke upon those gentlemen who make
it a business to Object for the sake of Directing

last Saturday morning an incident of this sort
occurred. Buck" Kilgore represents dis

occasionally takes a shy at the express mes

introduced by New Jersey member authoriz-

has been minted, with gain seignorage of
81, 69I. l09 and that the remainder Of the bull
lion purchased under the Sherman act had not
been coined because further coinage had
been necessary to provide for the redemption
of the notes in silver.
The repeal bill was taken up. Mr.. Mitchell
tOre.. r. addressed the Senate in opposition TO
it. During the speech the absence of quorum
was noted by Mr.. Stewart. and 80 members an
swered to the roil-call, most Of whom h'Id been

this than certain clerical Baptist gentleman
from the West, who participated in the warm,

waged fer the Chaplaincy of the House of
Representatives. He pressed his devotional
abilities upon the attention OF members with
an assiduity which could only fnd excuse in
the Bible injunction TO he diligent in business.
He did not get the Chaplaincy, but the excit-

kinded in him that thirst for office of any
kind which becomes so apparent in those who
come to Washington with but one position III

Some of the many men who have responded
to the cali of duty at the expense of inconveni-
ence and modesty. by accepting seat in our
National Congress, aud the salary thereunto
appended, have been noted in our occasional
glanees through the Congressional Directory
Here are others:
Mr.. Baldwin, of Minnesota, calls attention to
the fact that he twice declined Congressional
nomination before he was persuaded to accept
one in August. 1892. Mr. Richards, of Ohio
says of himself: Though leading Democrat
living in Democratic city and district, he
always declined TO be candidate for Office,
though often urged TO do so. without being a
candidate was unanimously nominated and was
elected to the SD Congress-" What an example

In these days unfortunate are the people TO
whom Uncle Sam becomes creditor No better
proof of this is needed than the case of Capt.
Newberry, of the schooner Henry r. Hilton.
Last Summer, while some Army officers were
practicing with heavy ordnance at the Sandy
Hook proving ground, they fired shell which
struck the schooner and so disabled her that tire
crew was forced to abandon her. No one was
to blame except the officers. Capt. Newberry,
who had nothing in the world except the YES
sci, appealed last session in vain to Congress
for some compensation, and he is here again
asking for the passage of bill. The Secretary
of War and the Attorney, General have both
agreed that his claim is just, and the bill which
was introduced last session gave him little over
$4,000, the actual amount of his loss. 1t passed
the Senate but failed in the House. and Capt.
Ncwberry is still suffering without eompensa-
ton for the carelessness of some Army officers
who have probably forgotten all about tAe-dis-
aster which they caused.
