Bryan at u Murder Trial.

Jacksonville, Ill Jan. 20-WiIliam
Jennings Bryan has made his ap-
peararce as a witness in ths Draper
murder trial. Upon Mr.. Bryan's
entrance the audience became excited
and it was with great difficulty that
order could be maintained. The
presence of two of the Presidential
can didates of the last campaign

too much for the spectators. Coun
sci frequently appealed to the court
to prevent the demonstrations of
the audience, but his honor was uu
abe to keep them in control.
Mr. Bryan testified that he was in
the same Office with Draper for four
years, aad that be knew his reputa.
ton for honesty and integrity to be
good On cross examination the
witness admitted that Draper had a

GOLD MEN GET A SHOCK.
Silver Successful in Senate by
a Vote of III to %.
VEST LEADS INTHE VICTORY.
Upper House Begins Debate on the
Teller Resolution.

Population Not Involved. Provides for
Payment of Government Bonds in Any
money-WiII Be Hurried TO Vote.
Washington, d. c., Jan. 2O.-By
a vote of IL to 25 the Senate to-day
declared, in effect, a want of conf
dence in Secretary Cages declara-
ton in favor OF the single gold
standard.
Rather suddenly Senator Vest
moved to take up Senator Tellsr's
resolution declaring that government
bonds are payable in both gold and
silver coin The roll cali which fol-
lowed was test vote OF the strength
of the resolution and showed Al for
and 25 against.
The showing for silver in the
senate was a shock to the gold men.
The silver senators say that to- days
vote on the Teller resolution marks
an epoch in the development of the
sentiment in this country of the
money question and is q plain notice
to Secretary Cages single gold
standard policy that it does not
command the United States Senate.
It indicates, also, that in all plans
for currency reform any bill which
reaffirms the gold standard will meet
an unsurmountable obstacle in the
senate.
The impressive feature of to-day's
short but decisive battle for silver
was the confessed helplessness OF
the gold men. They sat gloomily in
their seats and offered no obstrue-
ton, while the silver senators march
ed in and took the right OF way
almost without question. The reso-
luton provides:
That all bonds of the United
States issued or authorized to be
issued, under the said acts of Con.
gress hereinbefore rscited,a ARE pay
able, principle and interest, at the
option of the government of the
United States 10 silver dollars OF
the coinage of the United States,
containing 412} grains each of
standard silver and that TO restore
to it's coinage such silver coins az
legal tender in payment of said
bonds, principal and interest. is
not in violation of the public faith
nsr in derogation of the rights of
the public creditor.
Mr.. Vest OF Missouri, the mem bsrs
of the finance committee who had
charge of the resolution,spok briefly
upon it, but diaclaimed any desire at
this time to thresh oyer the old
straw of financial discussion. He
believed, however, that the time was
ripe for reitsration with emphasis
of the declarations OF the Stanley
Matthews resolution, which had be en-
placed on the statute books twenty
years ago, particularly in view of
recent statements of the Secretary
OF the Treasury, in which the Presi-
dent, who had, az member of the
House, voted for the original resolu-
tions, evidently concurred.
THE VOTE IN DETAIL.
The motion of Mr.. Vest to take up
the Teller resolution was carried by
the following vote:
Yeas Teller
Allen Tillman
Bacon Turpie
Bate Vest
Berry Walthall
Butler Warren
Cannon White
Chiffon Wolcott-4l
Ciop.- NAYS
The Butler weekly times. (Butler, Mo.) 1881-1918, 1898-01-27


no desire at this time to tbresh
over the old straw of financial dis
cussion, but hoped to be able to call
the Senate attention to some reason
why the pending resolution should
be agreed to by the Senate. He said
that twenty years had passed since
the Stanley Matthews resolution was
first put On the statute books, but
he believed that there was now
reason why there should be reitera-
ton of the resolution and the decla
rations contained in them. MIR. Vest
maintained that if the resolutions
were originally correct and proper
they were correct and proper at the
present time.
DOES NOT INVOLVE REPUTATION.
"They do not in any sense" said
Mr.. Vest, ''involve either reputation
or dishonor. The Senator main
tanned that the issue involving the
consideration of the resolution had
been thrust upon the senate by the
and that the senators
were required either to remain silent
and by their silence give tacit assent
to the recent declarations of the
Secretary Of the Treasury in favor of
q gold standard, these declarations
being evidently Endorsed by the
President, or else to reaffirm the
Stanley Matthews resolution, which
had been passed by the Senate by
vote OF more than 2 to l, and by the
House by an overwhelming majority.
cit will be recalled" said Mr..
Vest, "that the present President OF
the United States was then a men,
Der of the House and voted for these
Mr.. Vest held that the time had
now arrived when the country must
either go to a gold standard or make
the last and overwhelming contest
for the financial system which he
believed a great majority of the
people were in favoi of. He said
that he had no desire now TO enter
upon an elaborate discussion OF the
pending resolution, and if any sena.
tor on the other side of the chamber
desired to speak upon the question
he would yield to him.
There was no response to this in,
vitation on the republican side, aud
Mr.. Vest was proceeding with his
remarks when Mr. Plat OF Connect
cut asked If it was Mr. Vests inten-
ton to press the resolution and
secure an immediate vote.
That il" inter jectea Mr.. Aldrich.
sis it the purpose OF ths Senator 10
secure O vote upon the resolution
to day."
FINAL VOTE TO BIZ HAsPHEED.
Il expect" replied Mr.. Vest, ito
endeavor to fecure a fual vote upon
the resolution whenever, uuder the
rules Of the Senate, final vote can
be reached"
The Missouri Senator was pro
cesding with his remarks when the
Vice President, the hour Of 2 O. clock
having arrived, laid before the Sen
ate the unfinished business, the
census bill
Mr.. Vest moved to lay aside the
unfinished busine IS and proceed with
the discussion of the Teller resolu-
ton The motion prevailed without
division, the effect being to make the
resolution the unfinished business.
Mr.. Vest then yielded to sugges
ton OF MIR. Aldrich that further
consideration Of the resolution be
postponed until tomorrow, in order
that those opposing it might have
opportunity to prepare for the de-
bate. At 2:10 the Senate went into
executive session, and at 5:55 ad-

New England Wage Reductions.

The New Yea opens with total
failure Of protection to maintain the
current rata of wages ID the cotton
spinning industry Of New England.
Reduction Of wages are announced
from every quarter day after day,
until now it may be assumed that
they will be universal.
The two chief causes assigned for
this unwelcome change are, first. that
the New England mills are over.
stocked with cotton bought at prices
above the present market price, and
second, the competition Of the
Southern cotton mills, with their
cheaper labor and less exacting
labor laws.
While both of these explanations
have a certain weight, they do not
wholly account for the situation.
The competing mills have had no
advantage whatever in the purchase
of cotton. The Southern mills have
less than one-fourth OF the capacity
of the Now England mills. Ii their
labor is cheaper ii is probably less
effective. The advantage Of proIim-
ity to tie cotton fields 10 more than

tons is not an explanation of the

SIMPSON FIRES AT OINGLEY.
Caustic Arrangement of Hi' Bill Forces an

Washington, Jan. 20.--Congress.
man Jerry Simpson utilized fifteen
minutes Of time on the consular and
diplomatic bill 40 well in caustic
arraignment of Mr.. Dingley's new
tariff bill, that the author of the tar
if monstrositY side-tracked the dis
cussiou on Cuba for an hour. He
devoted all this time to a labored
defense of the Dinglsy schedules,
and an explanation of the whv the
mill operatives OF New England and
even those in his own town, are now
on strike in the effort to prevent a
reduction to starvation wages
In opening his attack on the Ding
ley bill Mr.. Simpson said he was
not lying awake nights over the con
ditiou of Cuba. He had been watch
ing for some time the politics of the
two great parties. When the Cleve-
land Democrats were in power they
hesi:ated to recognize Cuba. They
were the agents of the bond holding
interests of the country That was
the reason they had not acted. The
Republican party inherited this
policy from Cleveland.

PICTURES SHOP GIRLS MISERY.

Continuing, Mr.. Simpson said that
while there were plenty to say a
word for Cuba it is little surpris,
ing that no one found time to say
anything for the shop girls working
at starvation wages and the mill
hands who were battling for a bare
living under the Dingley law, which
had closed factories and reduced
wages
It was time some attention was
being paid to the subject, he said,
for under the rules of the House no
chance WAS given TO legislators The
House was no longer a deliberate
body, and nothing could be passed
without the Speaker first giving his
consent
Mr.. Simpsons picture of the
misery of the New England strikers
because of the new tariff so irritated
Mr.. Dingley that for an hour he
talked on the blessings of protection
and the prosperity that would follow
later.
Nr.Simpson's effort to get him to
name the day when prosperity would
arrive so pettled MIR. Dingley that
he refused to be questioned, to the
amusement of the House.
BoTKIN GETS IN THE FRAY.
MIR. Botkin, also OF Kansas, added
to the days record by getting Mr..
Johnson OF Indiana out on q limb
and then saving the limb off. Mr..
Johnson WAS making q great defense
of Spain and pleading for more time
for it to subjugate aud starve the
Cuban patriots, when Mr.. Botkin
produced the Congressional Record,
showing that the same Mr.. Johnson,
now pro Spanish, voted in April,
1896, for the joint resolution grant
ing belligerent rights to Cuba.
This foored Nr. johnson and he
bad nothing more TO say.

WITHOUT PAIN.
Meaieai Discovery That EfrectuaIIy Cures
Files in Every Form

or many Years physicians have ex-
perlmented n vain, seeking a remedy
when would effectualIy cure piles and
other rectal troubles. without resorting
TO a surgical operation. MANY rene
dies were found to give temporary re-
llei. out none could be depended upon
70 MAKE tasting, satisfactory cure.
Wlthln recent period, however, a
new remedy, the Pyramid Pile Cure,
has been repeatedly tested in hundreds
OF cases and with highly satisfactory
results
The first effect Of the Pyramid Pile
Cure IS 70 Instantly remove the pain
and Irritation generally present and
from that time on the cure rapidly pro-
crosses and before the patient is hardly
aware of it he is entirely cured. The
remedy seems to act directly on the
nerves and blood vessels Of the parts
affected as it comes into direct con-
tact with them and sets up healthy
action which in a perfectly natural
way brings the parts to their normal
condition.
The remedy does its work without
any pain OF inconvenience to the SUI
ferer and is justly considered one Of
the most meritorious discoveries Of
modern medicine
Piles is one of the most annoying
and often times dangerous diseases
with which humanity is afflicted. If
neglected it frequently develops into
fistula on some equally fatal or in
durable trouble, whereas by the time
~ use Of this simple but effective
remedy no enc need suffer a single day
from any form Of piles unless they
want to.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is perfectly
harmless, containing no mineral
poiscns, and is also very reasonable
in price 1t is sold in drug stores
everywhere at so cents per package.
The manufacturers of the remedy are
the Pyramid Drug Co., Of Marshall,
Mich, who have placed this excellent
preparation before the public only
after giving it thorough and repeated
tests in the hands Of reputable physi-
clans. The results in hundreds or
cases have convinced us that it Will
not disappoint you.
