Day for Amendments.
Washington, Dec. 1S.-The general
debate upon the currency bill closed
Friday, and Saturday the bill was read
for amendment under the five minute
rule.
The debate proceeded quietly. Mr..
Mahon (Pennsylvania) criticised Mr..
Bailey for not admitting, as Mr.. Sib-
ley had done, that the return of pros
perity was due to the restoration of
the republican party to power. Mr..
Levy IN. W announced his deter
mination to vote for the bill, as did
Mr. Fitzgerald On. ".
During the discussion colloquy oc-
Cured between Mr.. Brown (rep., o.
and Mr.. Clark (dem., MOI. The for
mer resented what he regarded as a
slight put upon the memory of the
late President Hayes in some remarks
made by Mr.. Clark earlier in the day.
Mr.. Brown paid glowing tribute to
the memory of Mr.. Hayes.
| In reply, Mr.. Clark declared that Mr.
Hayes was a counterfeit president"
| for whom he had supreme contempt
even though he was dead.
HE stole the presidency" said he say

the Menardville road extricated itself from
the scattered jacals Of Fort McKavett and
headed out for the open prairie. It was
early morning of the oath of December, 1898.
Wells had freshly risen from an unappetiz-

was hungry; angry with the sharp sleet that

The Mexican gravely held them forth in

"They are gold, senior. They were given
me by the American, Senior Black-who
sends the meat of goats across the seas in

that drove from the Rio Concho."
Wells regarded the Mexican with search

Trade Expansion,

q The Baltimore Sun SAYS: The
Maryland Steel Company at Spar
rows Point has annexed good
part of England's trade in steel
rails and has expanded its own
trade to Europe. Asia, Australia
and South America" It has also
made great sales to the Russian
government for the Trans-Siberian
road and is now selling rails in
Scotland. Continuing the Sun says:
sour steel works ask for no govern
ment favors but only Justice and
fair play. = = That the Steel
Works have done so much under the
burden of taxation shows what
might be done if we had free trade
and sailors rights.
The Sun might see if it could un-
derstand the relation between cause
AMI effect that the tariff enabled
the Steel Works to prepare the ma
chlnery to produce rails at less
than what they cost in England.
Without this hated tariff Sparrow :
Point workshops would never have
been erected and England would
not only have Il monopoly of making
rails. but also Of many other arti-
cles. 1t is singular smart men can
not see the advantage OF oar tariff
In giving manufacturers a start.
Had it not been for oar navigation
laws there would have been few
shipyardS in our country. and We
would have been wholly dependent
on England for our commercial and
naval vessels.

Senator QUAY.

Every stone is being turned by
the enemies of the ring in Pennsvl-
vania to prevent the election of
Matthew Stanley Quay to the u. S.
Senate. Disappointed Office seekers
have shouted "bad man so often
that many persons really believe
that he is really a dangerous char
acter. He certainly has failings,
but it is questionable whether they
are any greater than those pos
sessed by many of his opponents.
The truth is that much opposition
to Quay proceeds from disappointed
applicants for Office. Quay favored
some one else and hence he is bad
mana very bad man. The cry has
been kept up so long that hundreds
OF persons regard him as being Il
great deal worse than he really is.
If he were as black as painted he
certainly would not have had liz
votes in the Legislature, only Bless
than necessary to elect him, over
the opposition which is composed of
50 Republicans and 81 Democrats.
How long the deadlock may con-
tinue we cannot say but We think it
probable that it will be broken long
before solution of the problem
which confronts us in our State
shall have been solved
