tonight the Senate adjourned, after a
determined but fruitless effort on the
part of the silver men. led by Mr..
Jones, of Arkansas. to pass the bill for
the unrestricted coinage of silver
Mr.. Jones himself made the motion
to adjourn after it had been made evil
dent that voting quorum OF senators
could not be held in the Senate cham
Der for an all-night struggle.
One of the surprises Immediately pre-
ceding the adjournment was resolu-
ton submitted by Mr.. Wolcott. one of
the most active silver leaders, declar-
ing that while the welfare OF the coun-
try required the unlimited coinage of
silver at 16 to l. yet. in view or the
near adjournment of Congress and the
pressing demand of appropriation bills,
1t was ineHpedient to enter upon. the
consideration of the silver bill at the
present session of Congress. No action
was taken on the resolution, but it
was regarded as significantly fore
shadoWlng the course OF the silver bill
when it comes up tomorrow.
The silver forces asserted their
strength at the outset Of the proceed
ings today, and by vote of IS to Il
displaced the morning business and
took UP the silver bill before the reg

Mr.. Villas, OF Wisconsin, then took the
floor for four hours in carefully pre-
pared speech, defending the admlnis-
tration for the recent bond contract
When Mr.. Villas concluded, at 5:2O D.

silver men to force final vote. 1t

voting quorum. although a quorum
was present most of the time, many
of the senators refused to vote. This

Gentry Is in hiding in this city.
The man Gentry is now about 50

disgust with his failure as an actor led
him to drink. 1t was about three years
ago that he met the young woman

She was Scotch by birth. her father

cleyerest and most attractive. She
grew up into fine looking woman with
a sweet soprano voice and figure and

An Editors Personal Grievances,

The Milford Neps has the following
in lts last issue
While the country editor is almost
the antpodes of millionaire, or even
of a moderate capitalist, and is gener-
ally supposed to be about the poorest
man in town who is in business for
himself-yet after all no one gives SO
much credit, or so long credit, ac-
cording to his capital, as this same
country editor. Following is an in
stance of the way the public relies on
the good nature of the man who fur
nishes them the local news:
| Last week this office sent out sub
scriptiOn bills, ranging from one dollar
to ten dollars each, aggregating about
one thousand dollars. The requests
were urgent, though polite. Did hall
| of those who received these bills re-
spond, as many merchants would ex'
pectP No. Did one IN four pay up !
Hardly. Just two out of a hundred
responded. The others evidently think
that the country publisher has more
endurance than camel, and can &c
days, weeks, and even months without
food or drink.
The publisher pays cash for labor
and materials, and a large portion Of
the public have no realization Of theiI
financial obligations to him. They
think he can afford TO wait on them fol-
wears, and when they are dead be salts
fed with sending them probated bill
