The silver state. [volume] (Unionville, Nev.) 1870-1903, 1893-10-16

WASHINGTON, Oct. 15.- Yesterday
was pregnant with rumors of COM
prises and agreements on the silver
/ question. Enough is known to lead
/ to the conclusion that mutual con-
cessions have been made, and that
the statements of senators justify the
hope that before next week has passed
there will be a movement toward a
settlement OF the question. Just
what the compromise will be cannot
be said, but the idea that meets with
most favor contemplates about the
same provision as the Harris amend
ment combined with a bond pro-
4 vision.
/ The session of the senate opened
with personal explanation from
Morgan of Alabama. He denied hav-
ing ever intimated that he would
vote against unconditional repeal but
said he would vote against uncondi-
tional repeal as proposed in the Voor-
hees substitute, which he character
lied as livery ridiculous, very injur-
ious and very cowardly.'
Various important amendments to
the rules were offered and went over
until Monday. They were as follows; !;
BY Lodge OF Massachusetts, shall
not be in order for senator to read
a speech, either written or printed !;
also. when the senate refuses to ex-
cuse senator from voting and he
still declines to vote, he shall be
counted as present for the purpose of
making a quorum.
BY Mr.. Stewart of Nevada-That
no senator interested in any national
bank shall vote upon any question
affecting the coinage or issue of cur
rency by the government or through
the instrumentality of national
banks.
By Gallings of New Hampshire
When a majority of the senate sub
mits a request in writing through the
chair that the debate close on a bill
or resolution reported from COM
mittee, such papers shall be referred
to the committee on rules, whose
duty it shall be within five days to
report an order naming day and
hour when the vote shall be taken,
and action upon such reports will be
had without amendment.
The resolution offered by Dolph
yesterday referring to the committee
on privileges and elections the ques-
tion as to whether absent senators
may be compelled to attend was pre-
sented and agreed to.
The silver purchase repeal bill was
taken up at 12:45 o'clock and the
vice president set about disentang-
ling the parliamentary twist in which
the senate got itself last night over
the question as to whether Dubois
should be excused from voting on the
question of allowing PETER to have a
document read at the clerks desk.
BY vote of 90 to 81 the senate re-
fused to excuse Dubois. The name
Of the Idaho senator was then called
and Dubois remained in his seat ST.
lent. There was roll call because
at like stage of the proceedings last
no quorum had voted and no less
than ~ responded-29 more than
quorum-and by far the largest num-
Der that has appeared on a roll call
during the session.
After some more parliamentary
pitfalls from which the vice presi-
dent skillfully extracted himself, the
question was put whether the docu-
ments should be read from the clerks
desk and it was decided in the affirm
ative-ayes 80, noes 30. The docu-

NEW ENGLAND'S BENEFIT FROM
THE WORLDS FAIR.

Under this heading recent article
from Chicago gives interviews with lead
ing men as regards the benefit the fair
may be towards this section. These are
too long for us to copy entire, suffice it
to say that New Hampshire is already
reaping advantages in that foreign visi-
tors are beginning to flock to the White
Mountains. The article has this to say
of Vermont: Superintendent L. A. Drew
when asked what result Vermont ex-
pected from her representation, said:
'There are no pr ocular results eX-
pected. Vermont represents small but
wealthy Commonwealth, a community
where there are few paupers and few
drunkards. The State does not need the
advertising that many of the States are
expecting frorl the Fair. We couldn't
encourage immigration if we would, and
we wouldn't if we could. Our lands are
settled up. and foreigners would be of
no good to us"
Couldn't you make use of them on
some of those abandoned farms?' was
suggested.
'These aba ldoned FARMS" replied
Mr.. Drew warmly, 'are not so numerous
as reported. Our towns are full of sum-
mer tourists, and as many people come
into Vermont as we can take care of.
SIN reg; to our products, we do not
think it necessary to get brass band to
boom things. We have only to say that
we have the best granite in the world,
and everybody knows it is true. Yer
mont is much like Ireland in one re-
spect; she has personal representation
in every State and county in the Union,
and they give us all the free advertising
that we require"

sleeping cars or reclining chair cars, is
not in the least surprising. The number
of people who are willing TO ride all
night, or two nights, in an ordinary car
is not very large under any circumstan-
ces, and pull of thirtysix hours or
more of this kind is a tax on human en-
durance which few will stand. We have
never been able to fathom the mystery
that surrounds this method, for the ex-
TIA price charged for berth or for n
reclining chair would, to quite an tx
tent, represent the added cost of pulling
a heavier coach. Excursions of this
kind might succeed where the distance
was sufficiently contracted to permit of
covering it in ten or twelve hours; but
it seems to us that under the circum-
stance the reported failure of the plan
might reasonably have been anticipated.
The Jersey is singularly docile ard
well-bred animal. She came from an is
land where girls were her keepers, and
where no other horned cattle we're al
lowed. Her graceful figure, slender
limbs, fine head-in short, her beauty,
combined with her docility. have always
m ,de her one of the most estee med of
the domestic animals.

OUTLOOK FOR AMERICAN FARM
Fps

The fact that the present business and
financial stringency is likely to benefit
agricultural interests is pointed out by
correspondent whose communication APP
pears in another column. He says the
money which has for many years been
diverted Ill the direction of other inter-
est is again seeking investment in real
estate and he reports that there is al
ready better demand for farm lands in
some sections of the Green Mountain
State. The way in which this tendency
will effect the farming interests in Yer
mont, as we'll as in other States, is plain.
After time those who desire to sell
their farms can secure a better price per
acre than they can at the present time.
Those who do not care to sell will be
worth more money owing TO the appre-
citation in value of their land. Those
who are obliged to borrow money will
be able to do so in all probability on
better terms than. they can secure at
present. In this way nearly every farm
Ell will realize some benefit from re-
newed favor of real estate and especially
farming lands as basis of investment
through loans or as an actual purchase.
There is another side to this picture,
however, which should not be lost sight
of in considering this question. The
farmer can not be truly prosperous
without the existence of manufacturing
a-d other industries to furnish a marFct
for his surplus products. He my pos
sess hundreds of bushels of surplus
wheat but if there is no market at all for
wheat it is actually worthless as com
modify Of exchange. While the disas-
trous experiences of other business and
financial projects are likely to turn a
largely increased amount of capital in
the direction of real estate investments,
therefore, the chances are that the hun
dreds of business and industrial reYcrses
will lead to a largely decreased de-
mand for f;Tm products of
of many kinds, and, therefore, to a
depreciation in value of the farmers sur
plus produce. While farm may be
worth mere than it was before the pres
ent crisis its products may be vo tn less
for time. 81 that in this as in many
other Instances, the pot must not call
the kettle lck. In the end, however,
the balance of benefit will probably be
in the farmers favor.-Free Press.

Sea Water as Medicine.

When bather at Coney Island the
other day accidentally swallowed a big
gulp of sea water and then rushed off to
get drink of whisky to take the taste
out of his mouth, successful medical
practitioner who had witnessed the per-
Torrance said:
THAT man is either greenhorn or a
fool. Otherwise he would have taken
merely sip of lemonade and allowed
the sea water to do its work. AS a mat
ter of fact, one of the most beneficial fea-
lures of sea bath is the salt water in
Rdvertently swallowed by bathers. 1t
wonderful tonic for the liver, stomach
Ind kidneys. In many cases it will cure
biliousness where all drug preparations
Lave failed. It is peculiarly effective in
ordinary cases of Indigestion, disordered
stomach and insomnia, and has been
known to produce excellent results in
many cases of dyspepsia. Sea water is
full of tonic and sedative properties. 1t
won't hurt anybody. Two or three big
swallows of it would be of positive bene-
1t to nine bathers out of ten. 1t isn't
palatable or tempting, but neither is
guinine or calomel. You never see an
old sailor who is bilious, dyspeptic or a
victim of insomnia, and why? For the
reason that an ocean of good medicine
spreads all about his ship, and he doses
himself copiously with it whenever his
physical mechanism becomes the least
bit deranged. New York Herald.

NEWS AND NOTES.

There will be 221 Democrats and 127
Republicans in the New House of Repre-
sentatives which assemblies August 7.
How many business men are there in
New England who would not be thank
full if those figures could be reversed?
The suspension of banks, the closing
of mills and mines and the general cry
of distress that is heard in all parts of
the country at present are almost as
striking as the erection of new mills,
TIE enlargement of old ones and the
gener u demand for labor that followed
the enactment of the Mckinley law.
The 600 employees of the Tivoli hos
iery mills at Cohoes, N. Y, were paid
their wages Saturday at noon in gold
coin. Many of the employees immediate
ly exchanged the gold for greenbacks
and silver coin, for fear of losing some
of it, Secretary Nc Hattie pays his en-
ployes with god coin once year.
The correspondent who sent out the
first detailed account of the Victoria dis
aster and enabled the press of this coun-
try to beat all the newspapers of Europe,
has now furnished an account Of how he
performed the feat which would have
made the reputation of any journalist
who aspired to distinction in the profess
sion. 1t appears that he is practising
American physician in Tripoli, and he
had never tried his hand at reporting be-
fore. He happened to be the only for
eigner in Tripoli at the time of the dis
aster who could speak English, and he
took advantage of his opportunity to go
out and get the details of the sinking of
the Victoria ahead of everybody else,
getting the whole story from surviving
mid 4hipman who was on the bridge with
the Vice Admiral at the time the fatal
order was given. This enterprising
amateur reporter closes his account of
bis feat by saying that several requests
for news came to TTipOli from London
papers, but he bought the recipients of
these requests all off. Evidently this
raw recruit has been indicted into some
of the tricks of the business.
The English with pen and pencil in
times past, ridiculed the proceedings of
our Congress. From their accounts and
from the pictures in Punch an historian
of the twentieth century might easily be-
lieve that the revolver and the knife
were the favOrite weapons of American
debate and that "gouging' an opponent
was the preferred cloture. And yet it is
doubtful if in the exciting days before
1850 there was ever such dis raceful
scene at Washington as that of the 9th
in the House of Commons. There was
not merely physical discussion between
two members; there was general free
fight, and the motto seemed to be:
"Punch head whenever you see it,"
"Curses, yells of pain and gross insults
were heard on every side" One honor
able gentleman was thrown to the floor
head first; another was knocked over a
bench; there was "a struggling mass of
members striking, clawing each other"

trains to the Columbian exhibition,

times of reform and the following Is
what the present Kansas delegation

A FEW of our brethren of the press
i'm Kansas, notably those who de-
light in proclaiming themselves
members of the young crowd, are
finding a great deal of fault with
President Harrison for appointing
Judge Howell Jackson, Democrat,
to fill the vacancy in the supreme
court caused by the death Of Justice
Lamar. Conceding as we most GER
tainly do, the right of these young
men to find fault with whomsoever
il pleases them and on whatever pre-
text, yet we must insist that they do
not have to bear any of the resonsi-
bility attached to said appointment.
Mr.. Harrison il president OF the
United States and IL generally cred
tied with having done in the past
what was for the best interests OF the
whole country. As Republican
and exofficio patriot. this paper is
willing to say amen to the appoint
ment and let Mr.. Harrison bear the
responsibility. His reputation for
goodness aud discretion are better
than any man we know Of in Kan
