THE SENATE FOR FREE SILVER.
The long struggle in the Senate over
the free silver substitute for the
House bond bill came TO an end last
Saturday afternoon when the Senate
by a vote of AZ to 80 passed the bill
providing for the free and unlimited
coinage of the white metal. The
House bill is entirely displaced, and
instead thereof the Senate bill pro-
vides that the minis of the United
States shall be open to the coinage of
silver, and that dollars Of 4l23 grains,
troy, silver, shall be coined upon the
same terms and subject to the same
Limitations as regulate the coinage
and legal-tender quality of gold.
1t also directs the coinage of that
portion of the silver bullion in the
Treasury that represents the seign.
forage, such silver dollars to be used

TILLMAN SPEAKs.-The speech Of
Senator Tillman of South Carolina
in the Senate of the United States,
on Wednesday, the Goth ult., on the
Senate's substitute for the House
bond bill, was the sensation of the
hour in Washington. The speech
was torrent of bitter invective, we
might almost say abuse, of the Presi-
dent, the Secretary of the Treasury
and of all others concerned in the
management of our financial affairs.
He referred to Mr.. Cleveland as
besotted tyrant," to Mr.. Carlisle as
"Judas," and charged that the
nominations made by both the Demo-
cratic and Republican parties in 1892
were dictated by the gold bugs and
bond brokers of Wall street, bent on
the maintenance of the gold STAN
dsrd and the destruction of silver as
money metal. He spoke with great
earnestness, much directness of state
meut and dramatic manner of de-
livery which held the Senate and the
galleries in the closest attention. He
predicted the Approach of popular
revolution when an army with rifles
in their hands would march to Wash
ington demanding bread. Congress
and the Supreme Court were ar
raigned along with the President,
and the Senator did not fall far short
of charging all with corruption in
office.

THE NATIONAL SILVER CoNVEN-
TIoN.-The silver men determined
at their conference in Washington to
hold a national convention in St.
Louis on July 22nd, which is the
same place and time fixed by the
Populists. The basis of representa-
ton is In favor of the States which
have developed a strong sentiment
in behalf of free coinage. Thus
North Carolina is to have 10 dele
gates while New York will have only
Al, although the population Of the
latter is four times greater than that
of the former. Georgia will be ell
titled to so delegates, while New
Hampshire will have to be content
with only 6.

are one vast sea Of water. Bridges
have been washed away on several

damage from the food will reach
high figures. The Ouachita river
rose thirty feet within thirty-six
