Washington, Feb. 1.-The session Of
Giving expression of the intense feel
'ng which has been aroused by the
financial question and to the apparent
lopelessness of relieving the situation.
Mr.. Sherman ofDOhio spoke for the
irst time since the new phases Of the
financial situation We're presented.
Mr.. Vest lent personal interest to the
lebate by declaring that the president
was seeking to make congress access
sorry to the welding of the. simple gold
standard on the people. The senator
asserted with dramatic emphasis that
lc had thus fur held his peace, but
hat there must now be separating of
The ways between him and the presi-
lent. The senate spent the rest of the
day in executive session on the Jap
lnese treaty which was ratified.
The house entered upon the consid-
grafton of the bill to fund the debt due
he government from the Union Pa
sific and Kansas Pacific railroads with
per cent fifty-year bonds. A special
order was brought in, giving to-day
and tomorrow for debate, but the op-
position to it was so intense and de-
termined that compromise was
forced by which the time for debate
was extended one day.
Washington, Feb. PA critical stage
If the financial discussion was unex-
sectedly precipitated in the senate just
| before the senator's were preparing to
20 home. Intermittent references had
Been made to the subject throughout
he day. but it was without definite
orm or purpose, and the senate finally
apscd into discussion Of the District
If Columbia appropriation bill. But
The financial question arose incidental
v. and finally Mr.. German launched q
speech which proved to be one of the
most effective he has delivered at the
present session of congress. He point
I'd out the gravity of the treasury STU
ltion, intimating that the facts were
being held back, and that an investiga-
jon would show startling deficiencies.
He defended the senate AGAINST charges
IF inlpotency. and declared that he
lad perfect faith that THIS great body
would do its full duty before congress
adjourned. He said financial remedy
would, if necessary, be added as
sider to an appropriation bill.
Spurred on by the energy Mr.. Cor
nan had suddenly injected into the
question, the senate at once proceeded
20 consider and pass three important
resolutions calling on Secretary Car
isle for information concerning every
letail bearing on revenues, reserves
deficiencies, etc. A warm party debate
occurred during the day on the ques
sion Of party extravaganza. Mr.. Chand
er, Mr.. Plat and other Republican
senators asserted that the total appro
priation for this congress would reacl
81 .OO1 600, 900, a million in excess OF the
billion appropriation by the Fifty-drs1

Washington, Jan. 3O.-The reading of
President Cleveland's message on the
financial situation formed the most
interesting feature of the session of
the senate. Most of the day was taken
up by the house bill with senate
amendments) disappearing an agree.
ment with the Southern Ute Indians
providing for their removal from Col
orado to Utah. allowing land in sew
crafty to those desiring them and re-
moving others from portion of the
present reservation and combining them
to the western part of it and to several
townships in New Mexico. The bill
was passed.
The interest in the house centered
in the presidents message which was
read after the body convened. Mem
bers were busy discussing the message
and bill throughout the session, and
gave little attention to the debate on
the bill to repeal the discriminative
duty on the sugar imported from
bounty paying countries. At the con-
clusion of the debate Mr.. Wilson at
tempted to affect an arrangement for
a vote, after two hours of debate to-
morrow. but Mr.. Grosvenor Qsep.,
Ohio objected. Despite the objection
Mr.. Wilson stated his purpose to try
to secure an agreement at the end OF
that time.
Washington, Jan. 31.-A special or
der was invoked to bring tho bill to re-
peal the One-tenth of cent differen-
tial duty imposed by the new tariff
law on sugars imported by bounty-pay
ing countries, and it was passed with
out amendment by a vote Of 239 to 81.
President Cleveland's financial mes
sage has again started the eddies and
currents of sentiment on the financial
question in the senate. While this has
not yet crystallized into definite action
several incidents occurred III the SEN
ate which indicated general tendencies.
Mr.. Henderson Usep.. Neb) presented
q compromise plan. The senator en-
plnsized the need of concession and
compromise In vigorous speech urg-
ing senators to give and take In order
that some common ground for meet
ing the financial emergency might be
secured. In replying, Mr.. Teller (Rep.,
CQlo.) made the significant declaration
that no such compromise legislation
could be effected mt this session Of
congress. Among the measures passed
durirs, the day were those for tho In
corporation of the National Associa.

A Low Price

a recent graduate of the Kelley in
stitute of Kansas City, Kansas, set
small value upon himself when he re-
marked the other day that he would not
for $1,000 exchange his present feelings
for those of year ago. Back in the fif-
ties this was but an ordinary price to
pay for likely male slave, and the VAL
ne of freeman, as compared with that
of slave whether of man or alcohol)
should greatly exceed such a sum, even
should this freeman be taken only in the
capacity of a wage-earner. II she is not
worth the price of slave, plus far more
than $1,000, he must be very poor
workman indeed, either with brain or
hand. When the average man receives
his freedom from the Kelley cure he re-
celves the difference between the earn
ings of sick man and one who is strong
and we'll; between what is paid to the
man who cannot be trusted and him who
can. Restored sobriety, looked at only
from commercial point of view would be
ridiculously cheap at $1,000. The value
of an inebriate to the community, it
should be remem bered, is considerably
less than nothing, while sober, indus
trious man is constantly adding to the
worlds wealth. During the past three
years the Kelley institutes at Kansas
City. Kansas, and Topeka have restored
about $4,000, 900 worth of men to this
section of the country, counting their
value only at the low price of $1,000
each. Why should one who has become
enslaved to alcoholics hesitate to avail
himself of this opportunity for relief, and
why should not institute doing such
work as is the Kelley cure receive the
support and endorsement of every man
and woman who has the good of human
itv at heart.-Kansas City Journal.

LAWRENCE. Nov 4.-Prof. L !. Blake,
the state university electrician who got
his name into the dispatches couple of
days ago by announcing that he had dis
covered new cure for diphtheria, it is
said has been sat down on by the chan
cellor of the university.
Prof. Blake has been working on the
theory for two years. His discovery was
the result of the long experiments. The
cure consists of solution of salt and
water through which an electric current
has been passed. The liquid is taken
into the throat and gsrgled. Prof. Blake
gave out the information to the repre-
sentative of the press, and no sooner had
it appeared than he was summoned to
appear before the chancellor to answer
for his deed.
Chancellor F. Il. Snow had an inter-
view with the electrician, in which he is
said to have told Prof. Blake that he had
no right to give out a thing like that
without having consulted Prof. l.. T.
Sayre, the university pharmacist, who Is
a doctor. The chancellor, it is said, de-
manded that nothing more be said about
the cure until a conference of physicians
was called.
Prof. Blake was very indignant over
the affair, and it is expected that there
will be some interesting developments
in the case, as the professor does not like
to be squeIched in this way. Prof.
Blake's cure is a perfect one theoreti-
cally, he says, and it cannot harm any
one.
Chancellor Snow was very indignant
over the incident, and it is said that be
accused Prof Blake of being entirely too
ready to advertise the state university in
his own interests. Prof. Blake's discov-
cry is purely scientific one, and it has
been tried with success.
