Montana and Idaho TO support state schools
Of mines.
MI. Morgan offered an amendment TO
the act Of January Is, 1881; TO be ia foroe.
Mr.. Dolph took the floor and continued bis
speech In support OF the repeal bill. He
quoted from the message Of President Cleve-
land Of 1885 urging the d!scontinuanco Of the
purchase and coinsge Of silver under the
Of silver than he was able To ofisr, aud said
he read II for the purpose Of showing that
Democrats who advocated the retention Of
| the Sherman net are not In accord with their
| party leaders.
Mr.. Teller asked MI. Dolph II he had any
reason to suppose that the President had
taken any steps looking to securing tho help
Of other nations In the interest Of silver. Mr..
Dolph replied that he was not acquainted
with the plans Of the admintstratlon, but had
no reason to suppose the President was not
| now as formerly friendly 10 the project for
doubt Mr.. Clevcland's good faith when he
states that he desires such arrangement.
Mnny believe the repeal Of the Sherman act
would hasten nm agreement with other ma
tions, and II was possible Mr.. Cleveland
might entertain these views
Mr.. Palmer took the same view, and while
disclaifning any authority 70 represent the
President regarded 1t As essential that the
United States should determine it, own policy
with reference to silver before inviting other
nations to confer upon the matter.
The Brussels monetary conference was
brought Into the discussion and Mr. Allison
Of Iowa, who was one Of the delegates to that
conference, said that while nearly all the dele
gates favored the utilization Of gold aud Sill
yer, they were hot ready 10 adopt the coinage
OF silver In their own countries. He denied
that the conference adjourned without attlon.
II had adjourned for the reasons which he
had stated In his remarks some days since,
and Europen countries now expected that the
conference would rcconvenc. Mr.. Allison
| snid that the conference had been postponed
from the thirtieth Of May until November, for
reasons which he had not understood. In
stead OF European governments not being In
terested In the question, there was not an
European government which was not watch
Ing every step, every movement taken In this
country. Those countries were hoping that
this country would get them out Of their d..
lemma by this country losing It's gold and
taking the whole burden Of silver upon itself
Mr.. Power Of Montana then addressed the
Senate In opposition TO the BILL
Mr. Power said the tenet Of the silver faith
10 which its advocates chung WAS Free coin
nge at the ratio of 10 to l." or al least such
legislation on what basis A. would restore
silver to its former place with gold as the
money OF the constitution. That Was the
shibboleth Of the friends OF silver, and on
that they put themselves upon the country.
Mr. Palmer Of Illinois then addressed the
Senate and deplored the impotence OF tho
Senate to govern itself and get vote on the
repeal bill.

DE Forest of Connecticut In its favor and Mr..

Mr.. Butler, Of South Carolina, addressed the

the minority. This was not government Of
majorities. 1t was government Of written
law to which the majority waa - amenable as
the minority, and TO which the president and
his cabinet were US amenable a. the humblcst
citizen. THE Senate Is not body where
some political boss or political hustler can
crack bis whip, said Mr.. Butler, Indignantly,
"and compel the minority to conform TO the
wishes Of mere numerical majority" Mr..
Butler argued In favor OF some compromise
measure.
Mr.. Blackburn, Of Kentucky, then addressed
the Senate In opposition 10 the bill. lie did
not want 10 sec the country 20 upon single

'This 10 tho hrst time on record" said MIR.
Blackburn, when dccapitation OF the patient
uas recommended ~ . cure. II seems 70 be
the policy to kill the patient and leave bis
body unburied, and trust 70 God Almighty TO
revive It," Mr.. Blackburn argued In favor
Of compromise. lie had but one condition TO
impose upon compromise, and that was Ia
unlock the doors Of the minis TO tho silver
metal. In conclusion, Mr.. Blackburn de-
Tended the administration against the iutima-
tion that II WAS party TO the conspiracy
that had brought the recent troubles upon the
country.
