FINANCE LEGISLATION KILLED.

All hope of financial legislation of any
kind was killed in the House on Thurs
dav by the defeat of the Springer bill,
and the Reed substitute. No more at
tempts will be made probably because it
is evident that they would be useless.
The Republicans, or the most of item,

sage. and as matter of fact many of them
supported it on the final vote. But it be-
ing perfectly evident that the sound mon
ey contingent of the Democrats could not
furnish votes enough to constitute with

The reason why cylinder form is
best in tile is that the water may be
heaviest at the lowest point through its
entire length, and SO dislodge and wash
