THE WEEK IN CONGRESS
Thursday. Feb. 10.

SAAOVoye q
During almost the entire session Of the
senate the Indian appropriation bill was
under discussion. Mr.. Allen Of Nebraska
ennvened the proceedings few minutes
before adjournment by making an attack
upon Speaker Reed for preventing the
enactment, as the senator declared, of
meritorious legislation sent to the house
OF representatives by the senate.
The house flibustered all day on two
bills OF minor importance, neither getting
beyond the third reading, roll call fol-
lowing roll call. The trouble arose
over the enforcement of the rule against
the discussion of irrelevant subjects when
Mr.. Handy, q Delaware Democrat, at
tempted to reply on the floor to letter
recently written by Thomas f. Bayard,

racy.
Friday, Feb. II.
The senate passed the Indian appropri-
alton bill, with the following amendment
proposed by Senator Pettigrew: r.,
That all settlers under the homestead
laws of the United States upon the public
lands acquired prior to the passage Of this
act by treaty or agreement from the vari-
Gus Indian tribes, who have or who shall
hereafter reside upon the tract entered in
good faith for the period requlfed by ex-
listing law, shall be entitled to patent
Tor the land so entered upon the payment
to tho local land officers Of the usual and
customary fees and no other or further
charge of any kind whatsoever shall be
required from such settler to entitle him
to patent to the land covered by his
entry.

sion, says:
In view Of the great principles involved
and of the danger SO close at hand we
urge the people everywhere to arouse
themselves and at once to take steps to
save themselves and their children from
the fetters now being openly forged to
bind them. In recent years there have
been number of instances of congress
sional districts where the advocates of
gold and monopoly were largely outnum-
,bered by their opponents, and where,
nevertheless, by a failure to unite and act
together, friends of the gold standard
have been successful Thus, as the result
of personal or partisan wrangle, the
cause Of truth and justice has been over
shadowed, the interest of humanity ig-
nored and the greatest good to the gov
ernment subordinated to an ignoble
strife. We appeal to you to let this not
be the case again.
Victory Predicted IL United.
Our only danger is in division. If we
arc in earnest we must have harmony
amongst ourselves If there should be
those who would divide us, let them be
summarily and emphatically rebuked by
the people, who have none but high and
patriotic motives.
After the bold declaration of the admin
istration in favor of the gold standard no
sincere bimetallist can ever again, by his
vote or influence, give aid or encourage
ment to the Republican party.
The issue is Joined; we cannot avoid 1t
II we would. Either the friends of bimet-
allism or the advocates Of the gold stand
ard, trusts and monopolies must succeed.
Who is not for us is against us. We are
asking no man to abandon his party or
change his politics. We ask no one to
yield any principle, but in this great con-
test we do appeal to all good men to stand
solidly together for liberty and humanity,
and strike down forever this conspiracy
of gold and monopoly.

The Dorsey Jury Fail to Find a Verdict
of Suicide.
The cOrOnor's jury who were empan-
eled Tuesday for the purpose of inves-
tigating the death of Nicholas Dorsey,
met this morning and brought in a
verdict, stating that Dorsey had come
to his death from natural causes not
known to the members of the jury. All
the indications from the death of the
young man pointed strongly to the
theory of suicide. A bottle containing
quantity of white substance was
found near the dead man and this
furnished the chief evidence for the
jury. DR.. Cleary however, made an
examination of the white substance
and could not determine whether it was
poison or not, so the jury decided to
give the young man the benefit of the
doubt.

TALK HEATING APPARATUS.
Board of Education Decide to Put in the
Smead System

Board of Education Decide to Put in the
Smead System.
The school board met in adjourned
session Wednesday evening for the
purpose of considering the question of
heating system for the new school
building in the Third ward, and while
two commissioners and the secretary
of the board were assent the meeting
was very interesting one. Rival sys-
TENS of heating had many friends
among the members Of the board and
the members were not slow IN uphold
ing their opinions. According to Pres
ident Jackson the heating question is
one of the most important in regard
to the school building and he urged
that the greatest of care be used in the
selection Of heating and ventilating
systems. There was considerable
difference of opinion in regard to what
system would be best, and the Presi
dent and Commissioner Newman were
strongly in favor of putting in a steam
system on the grounds that while the
original cost would be greater the sys-
tenn would be maintained at a smaller
fuel cost, as under the steam system of
heating cheaper coal could be used.
But the opponents to the steam system
were too numerous and it was finally
decided to accept the bid of the Amer
lean Foundry and Furnace company
to supply the building with the Smead
system of heating and Ventilating.
The system is the hot air system, very
similar to the one now in use in the
Central building, but greatly improved
from the fact that the system proposed
for the new building has a blower con-
nected with it which forces the heat all
over the building. The expense Of
running the system is said to be even
less than the water system, and the
representative of the company gives a
fine guarantee of it's efficiency and
the representative said that the cheap
est fuel when used would produce as
good results as the best coal. The
system of ventilating is also exceed
ingly mertorious and is of a new plan.
The cold air in the room is forced into
ducts arranged for the purpose under
the windows and is kept constantly in
motion by a series of blowers forcing
it. The adoption of this scheme of
heating will require some change in
the original plans of the building, but
the expense will be very small, and the
company putting in the heating appa-
ratus will pay all the added expense.
The special building committee
made a report in regard to the sewer
and water connections, and nOtwith
standing all reports 80 the contrary
their statement shows that the cost of
making all the sewer connections will
be only $7.68, or "a feet at 80 cents per
foot. An erroneous statement had
been published stating that the cost
would be in the neighborhood of $l75,
and the board asks that this statement
be contradicted. Commissioner Wood
worth was appointed superintendent
to see that the work on the building is
properly done. The usual bills were
allowed after which the board adj
j0urned.
