Proceedings of Congress.

w ASHINGTO\, Sept. 29-Ihe senate was in a calm and acquiescent mood, very diff ferent from its condition the day before. There was only one instance in which there was a ripple on the surface of its proceed ings. and that was over a matter of ancient history, which MT. Hoar brought up in the way of personal explanation on behalf of a former colleague of his in the house of rep resentatives, now long dead-Mr. Hooper. This senator was chairman of the commit tee on banking and currency at the time of the passage of what is commonly known as the silver demonstration act of 1873. \ story has been in circulation to the effect that MT. Ernest Seyd, French writer on finance, had had much to do with the pas sage of that act by the use of a corruption fund of $500, 900 contributed by foreign cap italists. The absurdity and falsity of the story have often been exposed, but it al ways comes up again. \ recent letter from Mir. Seyd's son, asserting that his fla ther had not been in the United States since 1856 was supposed to have given the islander its deathblow, but it seems that even that statement failed of its purpose.
 In order to contradict it an extract from one of Mir. Hooper's speeches was published a few days since in the Peoria Journal and q copy sent to Mir. Hoar, in which a refer. enCe to MT. Seyd was made and the words now here" were fraudulently interpreted.
 MT. Hoar Forgot Himself.
 In denouncing the fraud Mir. Hoar forgot his usual benigniUy of manner and Ian guage, and characterized its author as be longing to the species of the bedbug or the squashbug.
 MT CullUm came to the defense of the editor of the Peoria Journal as a man who would not knowingly commit such a fraud and forgery. and it appeared, after much discussion. that the extract from Mir Hoop CTS speech has been floating about thus falsitied for the last 15 or 20 years.
 The only speech made on the silver pur- chasing repeal bill was hy Mir Peffer. He declared that if the administration senators would accept his amendment tthe restora tion of the law for free coinage of gold and silverD the repeal bill could be passed in D minutes and senators could shake hands across the bloody Chasm and go home for a week or two. But no compromise less than that would he offered or accepted by him selt or the people of Kansas,
 The debate in tn" house on the federal election repeal bill was productive of but little excitement Mir Breckinridge of Kentucky and Mir Johnson of Indiana be came involved in a personal controversy, which at one time promised to become ex- citing but finally lapsed into insignif canoe Prior to this time there had been 2 colloQuy between Mir. Morse of Massa- chusetts and Mir Fithian of Illinois, where in the epithet ''Falsehood' was passed. but this also ended amicably.

THE ONE ISSUE.

People of Ohio want to Hear of the
Tariff Only.
"We have everything in this country we
had last year except prosperity, and we traded
chat for Democratic Administration and a
change; and now how do You like it2"
eve don't like it at au,o was the answer
that came from thousand voices when Gov.
Mckinley asked this question the other night
before the crowd that, unable to get into the
opera house, in Dennison, Ohio, gathered
before the hotel and clamored for speech
from the great champion Of protection
This year politics is business and business
is politics Every man in Ohio is going to
vote for what he believes will be best for him
and for his family. And if you don't like
free trade, now is the time to hit it and hit it
hard"
The cheers which greeted these words Of
Gov. Mckinley would seem to fully Indicate
the feelings and determination of Ohio Re-
publicans in this campaign Never has the
Buckeye state witnessed larger or more in
terested outpourings of the people. At Cadiz
that same afternoon 5000 of the farmers of
Harrison county turned out to hear Nc.
Kinley. They have reason to be dissatisfied
with the results of the change. With wool
at 10 cents pound the farmers of that, the
chief wool-growing county of Ohio, are in no
enviable condition. And their numbers,
earnestness and enthusiasm are excellent in
dications of how their ballots will be cast in

HERE IS AN INSTANCE.
Doesn't This Democratic Plea Work Both
Ways?

Doesn't This Democratic Plea Work Both
Ways?
Last evening one of the most prominent
candidates on the Democratic ticket made a
thorough canvass of the town in company
with an ex-saloonkeeper. The candidate is a
recognized total abstinence man and during
bis rounds last night he made temperance a
special plea. This question he repeatedly
put to people whose support he asked, "You
do not wish to support a saloonkeeper for
office, do you ?" and it was directed against
his Republican opponent.
Now it is a poor rule which does not work
both ways If voting for a saloonkeeper is
against any law of morality or law of the
land then the people who think so and are
advocating it must also attack the Democratic
ticket. But singularly enough the Demo
cratic candidate who was making this plea
last night made no reference to the aaloon-
keepers who are candidates on the Demo-
cratic ticket for two very important offices,
neither did he seem to see the Inconsistency
of being piloted about by gentleman who
kept sporting saloon in town for several
years and is still very intimate friend of
most of the prominent men in that business

GREAT ACTIVITY.
All Concerned in the water works on the
Move.

All Concerned in the water Works on the
Move.
1t is quite evident that the injunction suits
recently instituted to restrain the construction
of a reservoir for the public water works on
the Girard Estate and in proximity to the
Kelley Run colliery workings are the most
formidable distractions yet thrown in the
way Of the undertaking, and it is also
evident that all parties concerned realize
that they have on hand what promises
to be lengthy and bitter legal
controversies. When the suits were
first spoken of the water works people
treated the reports slightly and said that the
borough would soon bridge the threatened
difficulties by filing bond to indemnify the
complaining parties against damages but it
now seems that the proposed indemnity plan
will not work as smoothly as was expected.
The Thomas Coal Company takes the ground
that it is not so much the damage to its mine
workings and tho loss by suspension of opera
tions by reason of floods which it
fears, but loss of human life. and
it is claimed that all the security
the borough can furnish would not Justify
the placing Of scores of miners in the laws of
death when there is no necessity for it. It is
claimed that the borough can secure just as
good site with little additional cost at
another place. Of course this is the coal
company's claim and it proposes to establish
it by many afidavits of citizens who work in
the mines and those acquainted with them
The borough officials, on the other hand.
claim that the suits have been instituted
merely as means to obstruct the project in
the interest of the old water company people
and they say they, too, will have an abund-
ance of afidavits on hand when the day for
argument arrives
Both sides are determined and none on
either side are idle. Yesterday Engineer
Andrew Cochran, of Pottsville, spent the day
ON Locust mountain, making surveys for the
old water company, and incidentally made
observations which the Thomas Coal Com.
pany may use in court. Last night Council.
men James, Gable, Gallagher, Dougherty and
Others were in lengthy consultation with
Contractor Murt. Quinn and Borough solici-
tor Pomeroy and the fact that to.night's
meeting of the Borough Council has been
called for an extra early hour leads to the
conclusion that something of Importance may
be communicated.

and the defendants were Thomas Hogan,
John Wills and Patrick Mccarthy. Byrne
complained that he lost drill in the mine
and did not find it until several days after
when he saw it in the blacksmith shop
of the colliery. The next morning
he went to the shop early and saw
Hogan take it away. He followed and
after they had walked some distance into the
mine Hogan saw he was being followed and
surrendered the tool. Byrne then had Hogan
and the miners for whom he was working.
Wills and Mccarthy, arrested on a charge of
larceny.
AT the hearing Wills and Mccarthy proved
they did not know the drill was stolen and
they had not claimed ownership of it, as it is
customary for their laborers to furnish their
own tools, This being shown the two men
were honorably discharged, but Hogan was
put under $500 bail for trial.

Miss Stein teaches

Yesterday the mother and daughter were

upset the occupants falling beneath it,
Fortunately the horse was quiet one and
did not start to run away, but the upsetting
of the carriage and the screams of the
frightened women made the animal nervous.

Several men and women hurried to the

extricated Mrs Stein and her daughter from
their perilous situation and they were carried
