STILL TALKING IN THE HOUSE,
But the Roll Calls Have Given Place t
Speeches.

Washington, February 27.-The House
today went into committee of the whole
on the seigniorage bill. Mr.. Bowers,
Republican, spoke in favor of the bill.
He declared himself in favor of the free
coinage Of silver, because three-fourths
Of the people of the seventh California
District wanted it. Mr.. Bowers humor-
ously and sarcastically criticized the ac-
ton of the majority in its daily wall that
the Republican minority would not per-
nit it to do business. If the Democratic
party. he said, with its immense majori-
ty could not do business despite Gar
'keed and pestiferous minority, it had
better give way to party that would
take and exercise the responsibility of
the majority.
Mr.. Allen. Democrat, of Mississippi,
said there seemed to be an unreconcila-
Bile conflict between the capitalists and
the interests of the masses OF the people.
He had no hesitation in allying himself
with those who favored the coinage of
the seigniarage with which to meet the
obligations of the government and not
with those who favored the sale of bonds
Referring to the treatment accorded the
bill by the Democratic minority and the
bulk Of the Republicans, Mr.. Allen plead
ed, he said, in spirit of candor and
fairness with the Democrats to join in
making quorum.
Mr.. Cannon, Republican, of Illinois,
said the House had no right to take the
action proposed by the bill, affecting as
it would the interests of millions of peo-
pie. unless experience showed it for the
best The passage of this bill, in his
opinion, would make two kinds of dol
lars and cheat labor.
Mr.. Springer, Democrat, OF Illinois.
took occasion to correct some statistics
recently quoted by Mr.. Blair, Republi-
can, of New Hampshire, and MI. Reed,
Republican, of Maine.
Mr.. Bryan, Democrat of Nebraska,
said he had no criticism to make upon
any member who believed his duty to
his constituency required him to keep
silent and not vote. The pending bill
brought up conflict of the financial
ideas of the East and of the West and
South. He appealed to the Republicans
of the West to represent the wishes Of
their people as the Democrats of the
East did theirs, and stand by the bill.
The committee rose and the House adj
journed.

doubtless be willing to entertain a PROPOSE
tion of this kind, as they would have use for

Of this Kind would give the town an abun-

This suggestion is not likely to be received

who arc probably determined that il shall 20

ever, that it is made in good faith and in the
belief that it is the only way irretrievable
failure and serious loss to the borough can
now be prevented. We have no assurance
that the water company would entertain the
proposition If II were made, further than the

supply the borough with water they must
make provision for the dry seasons when their
present supply runs low. We feel that IL the

past and the proper spirit shall prevail be
tween them and the water company, an
arrangement can be effected that will be
mutually advantageous to both and that will

without inGurring the risk of an enormous
debt of 100000 or more. We believe, how.
ever that if proposition of this kind is to
water committee, and not from the water
company. Council may find it hard to
entertain the thought, but partial fsilure
now is preferable TO disaster in the future.

hard work accomplished is matter of pride
with every true graduate of Vermont Uni
versity.
To tho credit Of American scientists it is
said that the first fruitful investigations Of
the influence of the nerves upon the proper
nutrition of the body were made by Prof
Edward f. Phelps NJ. D., LII. D., while
active professor in the Dartmouth Medical
School and lecturer in Vermont University
Medical Department
These researches have since been carried
on in Europe; but the result by far the most
valuable from all these labors is Prof
Phelps discovery of the prescription that
has come to be known as Paine's celery
compound.
Now and then a discovery like this one is
so greatly in advance of its day that it
startles the whole body of conservative ply
sicians. No great remedy ever caused as
much talk and inquiry as Paine's celery
compound. Scientific men in this country
and in Europe have analyzed and discussed
it, and the medical world has agreed in
recommending it as a truly remarkable
remedy for disorders originating in impure
blood and impoverished nerve tissue.
Paine's celery compound is pronounced by
physicians of all schools to be the most
decided step in the knowledge of diseases of
the kidneys, liver and stomach,

probable actual cost is likely to be nearly
$4,000, including costs and counsel fees, and
certain not to fall below $4,000, or eleven
times the amount Of the original estimate.
The next item in the estimates with which
