NOT EN- THUS:

As the Norfolk Public Ledger
says, it is not often hat the Re-
publicans in the Senate get caught
mapping, but they were certainly
badly outgeneraled last week when
the Bland Seignlorege bill was bea
fore that body for action. TheSena-
tors have become SO accustomed to
the interminable speeches of MI.
Stewart on the subject of silver,
that they generally abandon the
Senate Chamber and betake them-
selves to the cloak rooms and other
places when he commences a speech
on that subject, When the Bland
bill came up for Senatorial action
the Nevada Senator offered an
amendment, whereupon the Re-
publicans deserted the Chamber,
leaving but one or two of their
members on guard. They were
rot as vigilant as they should have
been, for before they were aware
OF the fact the amendment had
been Withdrawn and the measure
passed to its third reading and en-
groasment preparatory to the final
vote which should determine
whether or not the Senate should
concur with the action of the
House.
AS soon as Senator Hoar was
made aware of the fact that be had
been caught mapping he made
frantic efforts to repair the mischief
that had been done, and vas az
sisted by Mr.. Sherman, the willy
Senator from Ohio, but the frierd
of the bill, knowing the advantage
that they had gained, refused to
accede to the requests CT the oppo
nents OF the measure, to the great
discontinue of the latter, who
would probably have talked a
couple of weeks before they would
have permitted a vote to be taken.
AS matters now stand a vote will
be taken next Thursday, when the
bill probably pass the Senate, but
it is said that the President will
nterpose his veto to prevent it
from becoming a law. In the
meantime Senator Stewart and his
associates are enjoying the predicai
meant in which the Republican
Senate RS have been placed by the
eagerness to refrain from hearing
a speech that was never delivered.

sESILVER AND THE PLATFORM.

O. The following is the financial plank o.
the platform adopted By the National
Democratic convention at Chicago, IL
1892:
1--WE aenounce the republican legislator
known as the Sherman act OF lS9O, as 9
eoWardly makeshift, fraught with possls
bnities of danger in the future, which
should make all of It's supporters, as wei
as it's author, anxious for Its speedy repeal
We hold to the use Of both gold and silver
as the standard money of the country. and
to the coinage of both gold and silver
without discrimination against either
metal, or charge for mintage, bat the dol
lar unit of coinage of both metals must be
of equal intrinsic value or be adjusted
through acknowledgement or by such
safeguards of legislation as shall insure
the maintenance Of the parity OF the two
metals and the equal power OF every dol
lar at all times in the markets n III pays
ments of debts; and we demand that all
paper currency shall be kept at par with
md redeemable in such coin. We insist
upon this policy as specially necessary Tor
the protection of the farmers and labo1lng
classes, the first and most defenseless vic
tins of unstable money and a tutuat1ng
currency.
Before the adoption CT the platform
r. Thomas NJ. Patterson, of Colorado,
secured the floor and moved to amend the
above by the insertion of the word
FREE between the words the and
"coinage'7 in the eighth line, SO as to
make the platform reac:
w hold to the use of both gold and
silver at the standard money eff the couns
try ard, to the FREE coinage Of both
W. bout discrimination against either
metal or charge for mintage, etc.
The Official Proceedings of the Chicago
convention, page 95, show that on a
call for the yeas and nays, the motion Of
the gentleman from CoEado (Mr. Pat
terson) was lost So the contention des
clined to put a declaration for FREE
coinage in the platform.

The Closed Mouth.

Indian mothers are wiser in one re
spect than we are. They are most care
full to inculcate the habit of keeping
their children's mouths shut from their
infancy. When a baby IL laid down to
sleep the mother carefully presses its
lips together. The habit, thus early ac-
Guired, seldom departs In after life.
Mothers, as a rule, regard with little
concern an early inclination to keep the
mouth open on the part OF their child.
