Washington, May 1.-The house
spent the day in further discussion of
the bankruptcy bill. Connolly spoke
in favor of the measure, and Stone.
Newlands and Broderick in opposition
to it. Connely predicted, in the event
OF the enactment of free.coinage law.
an universal demand for bankruptcy
law. Before the bankruptcy bill was
taken up, there was some discussion of
the treasury situation in connection
with the appropriation for this session.
Dockery declared that the liabilities
created by this congress (including $93.
600, ZOO for contracts) would reach
$6O5, 900, 900. Dingley, the leader of
the majority on the floor, defended the
appropriations, calling attention to the
fact that the house had passed bill to
increase the revenues.
Washington, May 2.-The debate ON
the bankruptcy bill was resumed today.
The speakers were Daniels, Ray and
Culberson, in support of the bill;
STROBE, Terry and Bailey, in favor of
voluntary system, and Griffith, Dear.
mond. Bell and Tracey against any
bankruptcy law. DeArmond, who
opened the debate, argued that the
states had ample legislation to enforce
the collection of debt. II bankruptcy
law was passed, he thought it should
have only the voluntary feature for
the protection of the insolvent debtor.
He charged that the pending measure
had been prepared by the agents of the
creditor class. Bell opposed the pass.
age OF any bankruptcy bill, and Burton
advocated the measure. The latter de.
sired particularly the technical pro.
cedure under the terms of the bill.
Washington, May 4.-The house
again devoted the major portion of the
day to debate on the bankruptcy bill.
Several amendments were offered, but
none were adopted. A bill to provide
for delegate in congress from the ter.
ritory OF Alaska was defeated, A to 60.
Scranton called up the bill and spoke
OF the development of the Alaska min.
ing and fishing industries and the in
crease of population in the last fifteen
years. Its vast area rendered it proper
and necessary that it should have
well-informed representative in the
house. There were over 10, 600 white
Americans in Alaska.

0OINGS OF CONGRESS,
Routine Work OF the Fifty Fourth ses.
sion-Senate.

Washington, May 1.-Two notable
speeches by Senator Teller and
Senator Sherman, representing op.
posing elements on the financial
question, were heard in the SEN
ate today. Teller addressed him.
self particularly to the Ohio senator,
for controverting the views held by
MIN and maintaining that no honest
effort had been made in the present
congress to pass tariff bill. The
senator referred to the MCKINLEY oan-
dldacy, saying that the motto of the
advance agent of prosperity" was
elusive, as no prosperity could come
until financial conditions were re-
formed. The climax of Teller's speech
was reached when he announced that
he would vote as he spoke, and that he
would not hesitate to separate himself
from the great party with which he
mad been allied for forty years, if it
pronounced for the gold standard
Washington, May 2.-The senate
spent another day ON the naval appro-
prlation bill without completing it.
Gorman further opposed the item of
four battle-ships and expressed the
opinion that the appropriations already
made would consume the balance in
the treasury. A determination of the
number of battle-ships has not yet been
reached. Chandler has proposed sub
stltuting thirty large and fast torpedo
gunboats for two of the battle-ships.
White spoke of the need of coast de-
lenses before further naval vessels were
built, and Allen made speech of over
three hours arraigning the two old
parties.
Washington, May 4.-The debate in
the senate today was of dramatic and
Sensational character, recalling the
famous Ingalls-Voorhee contest of
some years ago. Senator Tillman, of
South Carolina, again brought his uni
que personality into the debate, his
speech being the first of any length
since his memorable maiden effort at
taoking public officials high and low.
While he spoke today, the silver pitch
FORK presented to him in the West was
oonspicuously displayed ON his scarf.
The senator used the blunt words char
acteristic of his utterances. arraigning
the president and cabinet officers ), lth
unsparing criticism and personal in.
vective. He also addressed himself per.
sonally to Hill and Sherman, and drew
from the former sharp rejoinders,
while Sherman declined to be brought
into controversy with the South Car
olina senator.

San Francisco, May 5.-Mrs Jane
Stanford Wednesday last turned over
to the trutees of Stanford university
81, 500, 900, the amount of Senator Stan.
ford's bequest to the Stanford university
This amount was in railroad bonds
which pay interest at the rate of $10,-

month to run the university, and Mrs.
Stanford will make up the deficit from
her personal estate. The great ranches,
which also belong OF the university, do
not more than pay expenses, and the in.
stitution will derive no income from
them for several years.

TO MAKE A CUP OF TEA.
Something That Every Housewife should | Learn.

Something That Every Housewife should Nothing is easier. The odd thing is that so many girls fancy tea-making 8 difficult art, when it is really very simple process, which needs only atten- tion and care to produce excellent re- suits.
 Having good tea to begin with, next be sure that you have freshly drawn pure and filtered water of which to make the beverage. The water must not have been standing for hours ex- posed to the weather nor simmering on the range, and growing flat. It must be fresh, and then if you have brisk fire, or the hot flame of an alcohol lamp, bring it quickly to the boil. A flat-bot- toned kettle is to be preferred, as it has broad surface to expose to the heat, and the boiling is soon accomplished.
 Water is boiling when it bubbles and jumps merrily about, and the steam comes in white puffs from the spout of the kettle. It does not boil when it be- gins to simmer and to sing. That is only the sign that it is near to boiling. You must make your tea when the water has just boiled, not when it has been boiling a long time. A kettle which has been standing on the back of a stove all day, filled up now and then by a dipper or two of water added when some has been taken out, will not make good tea. You must boil the water on purpose.
 An earthen pot is better for tea than metal one. Pour little boiling water in the pot to heat it, and after minute or two pour it out. Now put teaspoon full of tea for every cup of hot water an even, not heaping spoonful-and ndd an extra one for the pot. Pour on as much water as will fill the number of cups you wish to make. Let it stand two minutes. then with a long-handled spoon stir the leaves once through the water, and instantly cover the pot again. Three minutes more and your tea is done. Never let tea steep or boil, or stand long time. It is quick, neat, nice process from beginning to end.-- Harper's Round Table.

REpuDIATED DEMOCRATS.
A Policy That Would Lead to National
 Calamity and Disgrace.

A Policy That Would Lead to National Calamity and Disgrace.
 Financial dishonor is the threatened danger now," says Mckinley, land good men will obliterate old party lines in united effort to uphold American honor." This statement of the situa- ton is strictly true, and the importance of it cannot be overestimated. The question is not simply one of ordinary politics, it involves considerations of morality, and appeals to the highest sentiments of human nature. The proposition of the democratic party is to introduce n financial policy that would inevitably lead to national calamity and disgrace. As the case now stands, the credit of our government is equal to that of any other in the world, be- cause we have always dealt honestly and properly with our creditors, and paid them what we owe them in the best of money. The Chicago platform declares in effect that we should change this course, and resort to trickery and rascality. It points out that by debas- ing our currency we can gain an advan. tage in the way of making dishonest dollar serve the purpose of an honest one, and the people are asked to indorse this scandalous method of doing busi- ness with those who have trusted us and felt secure against any form of cheating on our part. But for their con. fidence in our integrity, we should not have borrowed money from them at any price, and the democratic party now tells us that it would be good thing for us to betray that confidence.
 Such an issue does not relate to the difference of opinion which makes men republicans on the one hand and demo- crats on the other. It goes beyond com mon political interests and pertains to the matter of national honor. The rep utation of the country for financial straightforwardness is at stake. Repu- diation is declared to be justifiable way of paying debts, at least to the ex. tent of one-half of our obligations. In other words, we are told hat it would be fine stroke of business to pay only 50 cents where we have promised to pay 100 cents. That is what the Chicago platform means, and no intelligent cit

WOMEN AS INVENTORS.
History of the Progress of the Inventiv,
 Faculty Among Them.

History of the Progress of the Inventive Faculty Among Them.
 The United States patent office
 records give some interesting informa-
 tion in regard to the progress of the
 inventive faculty among American
 women. The office was established in
 179o, but it was nearly 20 years before a
 patent was issued to woman. The
 first was in 1909. This was issued for a method of weaving straw with silk or
 thread. In 1926 there were If patents
 issued to women, a larger number by far than had been issued any previous year. It is singular to note that the feminine genius for invention ap- peared to slumber from that time, un- til it was suddenly aroused by the great war. Many of the women's pat ents that then poured into the patent office were for implements and ma terials of war and for hospital appli- ances and sick-room devices. From the eos the number of women patentees steadily increased. In 1870 it was GO; in 1880, over 90; in 1890, over 200, and in 1893, over 300. From 1909 to 1888 women's inventions averaged 30 year. From 1888 to 1892, 230 a year; and since 1892, 2s0 year. Of the subject of these in- ventions, wearing apparel heads the list, with 16O different patents in two years and a half. Next come cooking utensils, with 100 inventions; fur niture, 55; heating or washing or cleansing apparatus, more than 40 each; sewing and spinning devices and building apparatus, about 30 each; and educational and surgical apparatus. toys and trunks, about 20 each. Other lines in which women have tried their inventive genius are preambulators, barrel and bicycle attachments, print ing and bottling apparatus, boxes and baskets, clocks horseshoes, mo- tors, musical instruments. plumbing and preserving devices, screens, sta tionery, theatrical apparatus, toilet articles and typewriter attachments. Most of the patents were for improve ments on some previously existing de- vice.

It Will Be a Republican Year.

l There are still a few who doubt thu { this is going to be republican year. We'll, it is. One of the most republican years we have had in this country since the days Greeley went to defeat, the madhouse and the grave, all within a month. The people are not in a mood to let the follies of populism and the trucklings of democracy carry them any further into the valley and shadow of death. They are going to reverse the engine. The American people are not going to permit any further trifling with their political convictions. What this country has passed through during the past three years is comparable only with that through which it passed early in the 60, except that there has been no direct loss of life. If the democratic party with it's populistic principles shall be allowed to continue in power another four years uncer- tainty will become more uncertain and ruin will become more ruinous. The success of the democratic party at the polls this year would mean the with drawal of millions of dollars more from the circulation and the industries ot this country. We believe that the peo- pie see this and that they are going to act accordingly. The crying need now is to place this country back oI, stable foundation. Almost any, foundation will do-so it is stable. That is the temper of the American peo- ple.-Iowa State Register.

 Ex-Congressman John R. Fellows, who shed tears at Chicago over the ne- cesSfty of refusing to follow the demo- cratic leaders on silver platform, is still firm, if not tearful. He passed through Chicago recently en route to virginia, and expressed himself as con- KdenE of McKinley's election.
 "Are you in favor of the nominat ton ot a separate ticket?" was asked of him
 ~E shnii express no opinion as to that rnow, and will leave that to the demo- crats of the country to decide" he an severed.
 Have you encountered much of the increased silver strength that is said to ae showing itself in New York?"
 ~Ob, there is some silver sentiment in New York, but the people are over wbelmingly against silver, and the country will find that out before very long,"
 ~Wnl the reported accessions to the si!Sefites among the agricultural voters of New York offset the loss to the demo- cratic ticket of the gold democrats?"
 -.No, and New York state will go for Mckinley by from 100000 to 15o,Ooo ,najprity, and the majority may be greater than the last estimate. In fact, there is no telling how big a majority Mckinley will get. The sound business Interests of the state are against the Chicago ticket"

 -I presume that many of the west ern states will vote for the silver candi- date, but can't be made to believe tbat the, people of this country will re- pndi,te the credit of their country, and that they will indorse the anarchistic views expounded by the Chicago con- yenticn.

PARENTAL DISCIPLINE,
Seven Maxims Which Every Parent should
 Learn by Heart.

Seven Maxims Which Every Parent Should Learn by Heart. As long as human nature exists in4ts present imperfect condition, so long will the question of the discipline of children remain of the greatest impor- tance in every home, for on the disci- pline of children in the home depends, to very great extent, the future well fare not only of individuals, but of the nations and the race. For the object of parental discipline is not to secure obedience to this or that rule which it suits the temporal convenience to make, nor even to secure good conduct" in the child, so much as to develop tine character of the young life intrusted to our care.
 Dr. Mary Wood Allen, in recent arti- cle on punishment, quotes Nora Smiths seven maXims, which we think every parent should learn by heart. They are:
 1. Tire discipline should be thorough ly in harmony with child-nature in general and suited to the age and devel- opment of the particular child in que g. ton.
 2. It should appeal to the higher mo- tives, and to the higher motives alone.
 3. It should develop kindness, help fulness and sympathy.
 4. IL should never use weapons which would tend tp lower the child's self respect.
 5. It should be thoroughly just and the punishment should be comm1nsu- rate with the child's first otfense
 6. It should teach respect for law and the rights of others.
 :. Finally, it should teach voluntary obedience, as the object of true dis cipline in the formation of character; it should produce human being mss> ter of his impulses. his pass:oLx ard hl will.-Womankind.

 Like every other fashion which origi- mates in Paris, the fad of wearing dia- mond backed gloves has crossed the English channel and few of the more daring English leaders of fashion have promptly had jewels set in the backs of their gloves. Following the invaria- ble order of such things, the fad will reach this country during the present season,
 American girls will doubtless com- bine this fad with the other one of wearing the stones appropriate to the month of their birth. Then those who believe in planetary influence upon the human disposition will have only to glance at the glove to know the charac- ter of the girl.

izen can misunderstood it. The men who framed it intend it to say that the bonds of the government should be paid in depreciated currency. Our government has never yet resorted to that sort of thing, and the people will surely refuse to decide in favor of such a proceeding. We are able to pay our debts dollar for dollar. and we cannot afford to pay them in any other way. The public credit must be maintained in spite of the efforts of free silverites to destroy it. There is no argument by which an honest man can make himself believe that the government should adopt dishonest policy; and as the honest men are certainly in Q majority in the United States, the democratic scheme of repudiation is not likely to succeed.--St. Louis Globe Democrat,
