ADMISSION BOND DEAL
The Negotiations With Holders of City
Bonds Concluded

Admission, December 23-(Special.)-Ne-
gotiations which have been pending for
some time between the city of Admission
and holders of the city's bonds, which ag-
gresate SOS, 800. looking to the adjustment
of the city's bonded Indebtedness upon a
lower interest rate, have been brought to
a successful conclusion.

issue covering the bonds, and the amount
OF accrued and unpaid interest, amounting

United States courts for some time.
The new bonds will bear 2 per cent for
the first five years, per cent the second
FIVE years, 5 per cert. the third five years

SENATE DEBATE OF
CURRENCY BILL
Measure Will be Taken Up After
the Holidays.
WILL BE NO fILIBUSTERlNG
The Discussion Will be of Very Little
Intere st-Senator Teller and Other
Free Silver Republicans Will
Make Bitter Fight

Washington, December 23.-(Special.) Inn
mediately after the holidays the senate will
begin its debate of the financial bill as
amended by it's committee on finance. The
object of reporting the bill before the holi-
days was to give to the opposition opportu-
nifty to prepare its speeches on the subject,
though every man who will speak on the
measure knows now what he will say and
what position he will assume.
The debate promises to be of little inter-
est, hardly more than was manifested in
the house. The debate will in all probable
ity possibly drag along for three weeks,
but there will not be said any more on the
subject than was said in the house In the
house after the debate began it continued
without interruption. But when the senate
gets sleepy or tired of hearing finance it
can move to go into executive session and
get away from the public gaze.
Democrats Won't Tiiibuster
Every day the senate will go into session
for while to confirm appointments and to
discuss treaties, so a great deal of the time
will be consumed in this way. The repu'o-
licans will make very few speeches, and
the democrats will not inaugurate a fililous-
ter. They have not heart to do it with.
They realize it would be an uphill fight,
and no matter what they do, the repuoli-
cans have the votes to pass the measure.

pubicans will make the most interesting

fight, as they will take a more extreme
view than the democrats. Senaor Teller
says that for the first time in years there
is an opportunity to get fair fight on the
money question for the reason that here
tofore the republicans have talked internal
tional bimetallism instead of gold. The
fight now opening up will be literally a
fight to the death between the two metals
and no party seems to be playing the BIZ
metallic end of the game
Bimetallism for Free Silver
There number of democrats who are
in favor of substituting bimetallism for free
silver in the next platform, and of using
that term from the huskings iIs-sead of the
free and unlimited coinage of silver. The
eastern democrats say they could join with
the southern and western democrats in
fighting the single standard of the republi-
can party with bimetallism, but that they
can not adopt the free silver vocabulary
and make an effective issue.
The extreme free silver men say that it
is better to lose the eastern democrats than
to lose the free silver republicans and the
populists, and that whatever the result may
be the next convention must declare for the
free and unlimited coinage of silver at the
old ratio of sixteen to one.

HENDERSON NEEDS
A FLOOR LEADER
Payne is BungIing, Obstinate and
Irritable.
RICHARDSON is CONSIDERATE
Realizing His Superiority Over General
Henderson He Has Been Very
.Considerate and Has Helped
Him Out Several Times

Washington, December -(Special.)-Up
to the present time the greatest considera-
ton has been Shown toward Speaker Hen
derson both by members on his side and
the opposition He has gotten along fairly
we'll when there was no effort made to tie
him up, parliamentary speaking. The last
day of congress witnessed some queer an
ties on his part, and the house witnessed
for the first time a speaker addressing
members in the second person, instead of
the conventional form of THE gentleman
from Pennsylvania" for instance
If the had a good floor leader he would
overcome all difficulties, but Mr.. Payne is
not only bungling floor leader, but CO.
stinate and irritable. He showed as muoh
respect for Mr.. Grow, the war speaker, the
other day as one might expect Reed to pay
to the freshest populist on the floor. Mr..
Grow Is tiresome and little obstinate at
times, but he is an old man, and during
the war between the states me guided the
fortunes OF his party in the house. He
only wanted five minutes Ito speak on the
ground that he mad been misquoted Had
he known how to rise to a point of personal
privilege he could have mad THE floor. But
he asked unanimous consent and the
header of the republicans objected
This brought Richardson to the side of
the aged legislator, and between them they
made Payne ridiculous and put the speaker
in an unenvia5le lignt.
Richardson Very Considerable
Mr. Richardson, realizing his superiority
over General Henderson, has been very con-
siderate and has helped THE latter out
whenever he could do so without losing a
point for the democracy.
On Monday, for stance, when Represent
native Maddox rose in his seat to say that
Representative Bartlett, who had been i'll,
had arrived and was now ready to be sworn
in and take his seat, Speaker Henderson
ruled that as a special order was pending,
namely, to take a vote on the currency
bill, that unanimous consent would have to
be had before Mr.. Bartlett could take the
oath. Unanimous consent was asked and
granted.
After Mr.. Bartlett was sworn in, Mr..
Richardson arose and said that he merely
wanted to enter serious protest against
the ruling of the chair, for the reason, he
privilege than that of member taking his
seat; that there was no rule which could
prevent or even delay this.
Had Mr.. Richardson made his protest be-
fore the oath administered it would
have put the speaker in a very awkward
position and forced him to enter a rule of
all precedent retract publicly.
During the roll call which followed Speak
err Henderson sent for Richardson and
knowledglng his error of judgment, asked
him for his permission to leave out of the
record his ruling, as we'll as Richardson's
protest. So far Richardson has scored
every point in a parliamentary debate.

then before the House.

barrassed, as the day wore on, soon
recovered her equilibrium, and made
"a very good presiding officer.

Deafness Cannot BE Cured

By local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is infiamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed, deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
fiamation can be taken out and this
tube restored to it's normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out Of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous sur
face.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by
Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for cir
culars, free.

A Solemn Scene.

"The paths of glory but lead to
the grave" Such is the solemn les
son that is to be learned by death,
not only Of the lowly,' but of the
great and those who strive to attain
to high honor and glory.
The funeral of Hon. Nelson A.
Dingley, Representative in Congress
from Maine was a solemn and affect
ing scene. Never since the death of
Hon. VIM. Kelly, of Pennsylvania,
has such Il funeral been held.
The Hall of the House was packed
with congressman, high dignitaries
from other countries, the President,
the Cabinet, the Supreme Court and
"a vast throng of plain people came
together to render tribute to the
memory OF the honored and beloved
dead.
High honors had come to him as Il
rusult of honest and clean endeavOr;
but death is no respecter of persons.
The lesson for us all to learn is that
we should so strive, in life, to do our
duty that, as he who has gone, we
may be remembered for the good
and great deeds and have no stain of
sin and wrong to mar that remenl-
brance.
AS the nation stood reverently by
the bier of Nelson Ningley, it could
with truth be said "here was g reat
and good man."

liar to the name of another post

Another "Independent" Plays Out.

As is usually the case when a lot Of
people get so disgruntled with the
churches and rush off to establish Il
"Church Of the People," Free
Church." or something of that kind,
things go with rush while the en-
thusiasm of something new is on,
but when the steady strain and pull
of honest endeavor comes on, they
begin to stagger, get weak and
finally flicker out, just because there
is nothing solid and substantial back
of it all--nO real love, faith, patience
and cOnsecrated effort.
A fine illustration is at hand in the
meteoric career of Rev. Thomas
Dixon, of the Peoples Church, New
York.
He was so thoroughly disguised
because plain every day Christians
did not think that the pulpit was
the proper place for discussion of
pblitics, that he rushed out and es-
tablished "People's Churches" at
several places, finally drifting to
New York and becoming the head OF
such a concern there.
He has at last discovered, as they
all do, sooner or later, that the sor-
