Tariff Nonsense and Fillbustering.
Washington Correspondence.
Mr.. Pence quotes scripture TO the
house. He gave the text straight at the
first, and then psraphrRsed it thus: "Bs
ys not deceived; the people are not
Knocked; whatsoever a party soweth, that
shall it also reap" Mr.. Pence preached
q sermon from this text which created
big commOtion. He said that II the Vot-
ers of his state could have witnessed
from the galleries Of the house the
seer es which had trsnspired within the
last ten days there would not be repub-
lican vote cast there next November
Mr.. Pence is correct. The masses Of the
people, busy with their daily bread win
ming, cannot realize the extent Of the
fraud and the farce played in the ma
tionsl congress. Il makes not the slight
est difference how great and how urgent
the needs of the people, the game called
party politics must be carried on at the
capitol. Shame on this idocy which
they call "filibuster;" it is the gamblers
little Joker which both old parties use to
euchrs the people. There 10 no earthly
chance for legislation which would be
beneficial to the masses 90 long ss the
national law-making body is allowed to
tie it's own hands and lsriRt itself to
ssnseless set Of rules which completely
block all progress.
This Bland bill for the coinage Of the
seigniorage should have passed the
house and senate, and the presidents
veto, within o week after it's introduc-
tion. Everybody knows it is right, and
everybody knows that the country
sorely needs the money it would speed
lily bring into use, yet just because OF
this "Hibuster," congress can't help
itself nor get it's own consent to take 40
tion. Why in the name of common
sense and the continental congress
should our national business be trans
acted by rules and methods which would
send q private business firm to the in-
sane asylum for life. For nearly two
weeks the house has presented q daily
scene Of confusion which brought the
blush Of shsme to every loyal lover Of
his country. Every now and then
democrat grows distracted over his help
lessness, and sickens with disgust that
his own party, with its ample mSjority,
should stink away from duty and fail
even to attempt to carry out its cam
paign promises to the people. Demo
cratic members goad and tsunt each
other and get fairly frantic over the pit
Of party defeat which the house is dig
ging.
Mr.. Fithisn, Of Illinois, said the other
day that il he were compelled TO choose
between going with eastern democrats
or Populists he would take the Populists
every time. Pretty straight talk thatfOr

BLAND's COINAGE BILL
Passed the Lower House and will Probably
Reach the President,


WASHINGTON, March 3.--While it may
not result in any good to the country, it
is still source Of qualification to the
advocates Of silver money that the
Bland bill for the coinage Of the seignor
age and silver bullion in the treasury
has passed the house Of representatives.
The struggle in the house ended Thurs
day in the passage Of the bill by q vote
of 167 to l30, a majority in favor OF the
bill Of 81. The special order to bring
the bill TO a vote was adopted by
bare quorum Immediately after the
house convened. This broke the oppo-
sition of the filibusterers, and they were
Powsrless TO do anything further to
place an obstacle in the way Of the bill.
All the amendments offered to the
measure by its opponents were deteGted,
the one which pollsd the moat votes
being Mr.. Outhwaite's amendment to
strike out the second section.
The bill, as passed, was in the nature
Of substitute for the original text Of
the measure. The changes do not sf-
feet the material features of the bill,
which provides for the ooinsge Of the
silver seignioFBge in the treasury, the
issue Of silver certificates thereon, If
need be, in the discretion Of the seCrs-
tsry Of the treasury, in advance Of the
coinage, and thereafter the coinage Of
the remainder of the bullion as fast ss
practicable and the issue Of silver certiA
Gates thereon to take the place Of the
treasury notes issued under the Sher.
man act, which are to be retired and
cancelled as rapidly as the coinage
takes place. The changes in the Bubsti
tuts simply makes specific the fact the
seigniorsge is to be coined, and that this
bill shall not affect the redemption Of
the treasury notes under the existing
law.
An analysis of the vote by which the
bill passed shows that 140 democrats,
nineteen republicans, and eight Popu-
lists, total, 167, voted for it, and seventy
nine republicans and fifty democrats,
total, 129, voted against it. All the Kan
sas members voted for the bill.
In explanation Of his substitute Mr..
Bland said it made the coinage Of the
remainder of the bullion in the treasury
begin after the coinage Of the selgnior-
age, and specific proViso was added to
the effect that nothing in the act shall
be deemed to change or alter existing
laws as to the legal character or mode Of
redemption OF the treasury notes. This
would set at rest all alarm on tho point

a RrookIyn Woman Reports the Dis
appearance of her Two Children.
A woman called in Prosecuting Attorney
Rrssell's Office this morning and reported
the disappearance of her two children.
She said that her husband. James Ward,
Is employed at the Electric light station.
They have been in Waterbury only six
months, coming here from England. They
live in Patrick Fitzpatrick's house, 52
West Porter street. Yesterday morn
ing she sent her two boys
George, aged IL years, and Joseph, 6.
to the Bank street school as had been her
custom. They failed to return home to
dinner and at one o'clock she began
search for them. She found that they had
not gone to school at all. The search was
kept up all day and last night. but they
have not been found up to the present
writing The boys were attired in knee
pants, with velvet sailor jackets, with brass
buttons and velvet caps, which were made
in the old country. The oldest boy about
two weeks ago went away and was missing
for day before they found him. He is
incorrigible and if found now will probably
be committed to the reform school. The
mother also went to the police station and
reported the matter.
Word was received from Naugatuck this
afternoon by the DEMOCRAT. stating that
two children named Ward were found
wandering about Naugatuck yesterday
afternoon. They were taken in Charge by
the police and said their home was on
I eonard street, New Haven. The New
Haven olice were notified, but could not
find the parents of the waits. 1t is prob
able that the children are the ones who
have caused their parents in this city so
much anxiety. 4 DEMO, RAT reporter
visited the Ward residence this afternoon,
but found no one at home.

WORLD OF SPORTS.

Two runs. two hits including two
doubles, eleven put outs and no errors was
Roger Connor's record yesterday.
Long of Boston, has yet to be credited
with strike out.
Buck Ewing improves with each season
as an outhelder.
Boston will not release Tucker under
any circumstances. His lay off was en-
tirely due to very bad finger, the top of
which is nearly torn off.
OF the seventy-four pitchers in the
league twelve are left handed, nine made
their debut in the big league this season.
thirteen during last season and only
eleven were in the major organization be-
fore 1890. The stars of the old associa-
ton number fourteen.
That Meekin- Farrell deal was after all q
good think from the New York standpoint,
except that thessNew York club in haste
and over eagerness paid more for the
players than was necessary, Farrell is the
star catcher of the club unquestionably,
and Meekin is the winning pitcher, out
shining Rusie.
