In THE HOUSE
Ten Long Hours Of Dull Debate on Silver
Coinage

Ten Long Hours of Dull Debate on Silver
Coinage
WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-The senate free
coinage substitute for the house bond bill
was debated five hours in the house this
afternoon and five hours at the night ses-
sion. Nevertheless the pressure from
members for time to present their views is
20 great that it seems possible now that the
debate may be run over into next week.
The speeches so far have been tame and
dry. Johnson of North Dakota and john
son Of California. both Republicans. but on
different sides of the silver question, af-
forded entertainment and perhaps instruc-
ton. The former was once a school
teacher, and today he brought the meth
ods of the school room into the house. He
placed some charts in front of the speak,
er's desk illustrating graphically the rise
and fall of prices in this country, the pro.
duction of silver, the price of wheat in In
dia measured in silver. and, pointer in
hand, like professor to his pupils, ex.
plained converging and diverging lines.
Mr.. johnson of California, on the other
hand, whose fiery protests against the
passage of the bond bill attracted general
attention and won the applause of the sill
yer men with an eloquent speech, urged
the Republicans not to ignore silver and
warned them of the consequences that
might follow if they did His wit was SO
trenchant and his blade so keen that he
was frequently applauded by those who
were not in sympathy with him.
SMr. McLaurin, Democrat, of South Caro-.
lima, occupied several minutes replying to
the speech of Mr.. Pearson, Republican, of
North Carolina, last night. He referred to
the contest between "brute force and
money! and manhood and voters,- de-
nounced Mr.. Pearson for catering to a
nh haf
by intimating the disloyalty of South Caro-.
lima.
Mr.. Wheeler, Democrat, of Alabama
then opened the debate proper with free
silver argument.
The house at o'clock took recess until
1880 p. m.
THE NIGHT SESSION
There were only abou. twenty-five men-
bers at the night session of the house. The
light attendance gradually dwindled away
until, when the last speaker closed, the e
was but solitary member on the floor.
There was no incident of any kind. The
speakers were Messrs. Arnold, Republi-
can, Pennsylvania, Danford, Republican.
Ohio, Turner. Democrat. Virginia, and De-
witt, Republican, Ohio. in favor of con-
currence in the senate substitute; and
Allen. Republican, Utah, Cooper, Demo-
crat, Texas, Wilson, Democrat, South Car.
Dina, hyde. Republican, Washington, and
Neill, Democrat, Arkansas, against con-
currence. Kirkpatrick, Republican, Kan
sas, said he would vote against both the
motion TO concur and that to nonconcur.
At 10 aclock the house took recess
until 10 o'clock tomorrow morning.

The True Ring

The Democratic party has at times fal-
tered in devotion to its primal tenets, but
whenever 1t has been thus recreant 1t has
met deserved defeat. Among its cherished
doctrines, obscured for time in the green.
back craze of twenty years ago, is the
maintenance Of the national credit and an
honest currency. When false to this i'm.
portant doctrine the party has been beaten
and discredited. The outlook for the party
this year is not encouraging The greater
reason, therefore, that when Democracy
assemblies in national convention 1t shall
reassert its time-honored principles with.
out evasion or equivocation, without the
slightest effort to conciliate any part of the
electorate by degrading compromises. If
the party is TO 90 to defeat this presiden.
tial year let 1t be defeated with honor.
We hear in Illinois suggestions Of COM
promise. There is hint of willingness upon
the part of various politicians to compro-
mise questions of high concern that this
person or that in the organization may be
placated.
The great body of the Democratic party
looks with unblapched cheek upon possible
defeat, to which it has grown accustomed,
but it will not tolerate disgrace Chicago

That n Is wise to be on hand when your
own lawsuit Is on trial was illustrated in
Judge Langieyis court yesterday when the
case of Carl and Caspa- Hochstrasser
against Arnold Keller ct al was called 1t
seems that Keller and Jacques Hcchsfras-
ser were partners in business at Birch,
King county, and at different times In
$50. 1899 and lss3 borrowed $500 from Carl
and Caspar Hochstrasser. one of whom
lives In Paris and the other in Asia Minor,
and neither of whom had ever been in this
country. To secure the loans promissory
notes were given. which were afterwarl
secured by mortgage on certain real es-
tate IN this county. In conducting their
business the partners bought goods OF
Schwabacher Bros. d Co., whom they SILL
owe about 1900. to recover which the COM
pany began attachment proceedings some
time ago. Subsequently the two Hoch-
strassers. who are brothers to Jacques
Hochstrasser and brothers-in-law to Kel-
Ter. began foreclosure proceedings on their
mortgage, but when the case was called
for trial yesterday they were not on hand
10 prove the execution of the notes sued
on. and the deposition OF Jacques Hoch-
strasser for that purpose was ruled out
Consequently their attorney was unable
make out his case, and Schwabacher Bros.
Co. successfully resisted the foreclosure.
