Having a debt paying function only
in sums of not more than five dollars
in one payment.
AS last effort Mr.. Slafroth moved
to recommit the bill to the committee
with instructions to report bill sim
ply for coinage of the bullion now in
the Treasury into subsidiary coin, this
would provide for more than sixty mil
lion dollars ofadditional coin of smaller
denominations but it left the standard
dollar unaffected and every Republi-
can, except Sutherland of Utah, and
Mondell of Wyoming, voted against
the motion.
A rather curious incident connected
with the final action of the House was
the circumstance that Senator Stewart
sat upon the floor and saw his Repub-
lican friends vote as unit in favor of
closing the debate in ten minutes upon
bill which is intended as the initial
move for the utter destruction of the
silver dollars now coined.

Curious MiErations.

In Norway and Sweden a curious mi
grafton takes place. the irregular mi
grafton of the lenming. There is no
telling where this strange animal will
begin its march southwark through
Norway and Sweden in search of food.
The interval between one migration
and the next is seldom less than seven
years or, as in one instance, more than
seventeen years.
The lemming is a species of rodent
and resembles in some ways our COM
mon water rat. Once started, these
strange creatures press on in straight
line. There is no checking their march.
If wall or a house is in their way,
they will try to climb it rather than go
around it. and if they come to q stack
of corn they will eat it and then go for
ward. The Jennings are good SWIM
mers, and so they do not mind rivers
and ponds. although they cannot keep
afioat in rough water.
The migra ton comes to fatal finish.
Taking a direct course toward the
southwest and southeast, the animals
arrive after awhile at the seashore.
Still they must press on. and the lem
ming migration ends for another seven
years.

Ernnce,s Red Ribbon.

So freely has the ribbon of the Legion
of Honor been distributed in France
that it is no longer considered such an
overwhelming honor to be presented
with it.
A pertinent story is told of Partisan
who suddenly disappeared. The police
on being appealed to for aid asked how
he might be identified "Oh," was the
answer, that's easy. He doesn't wear
the ribbon of the Legion OF Honor"

Too Familiar.

1t was the o'clock rush hour, and
the Sixth avenue elevated station at
One Hundred and Sixteenth street was
packed with an impatient crowd trying
to escape TO their homes.
In the thick of it was a cloaked fig
ure, apparently that of a plump little
girl of eleven or twelve. She was hav-
ing a hard struggle in the crush, and a
big, good natured man behind her just
put his hands on her shoulders to help
her along.
''SirP' piped a shrill but quite ma
ture voice as she turned SO violently
that she created an eddy in the crowd
and turned upon the big fellow pair
of swapping black eyes.

Democrats Favor the Irrigation Meas
ure.
Especial to the Journal.l

Washington, May 29.-The Demo-
cratic Congressional Committee met
tonight and considered the issue of
the coming campaign. On motion of
Newlands, seconded by Senator Tur-
ner, of Washington, and Glenn, of
Idaho, the following resolution was
unanimously adopted:
"Whereas, the Democratic national
platform declared as follows: We favor
an intelligent system of improving the
arid lands of the West, storing the
waters for the purposes of irrigation
and the holding of such lands for actual
settlers. Now therefore, resolved, by
the Democratic Congressional ON
mittee, that we regard the pending bill
for the irrigation of arid lands of the
west, as complying with the pledge
contained in the national Democratic
platform and we therefore favor the
passage of said bill as a needed step in
the line of domestic development"

HOSTILITY OF REPUBLICANS.
How That Party Would Defeat the
Friends of Silver.
Especial to the Journal

Washington, d. c., May 29.-The
action of the House of Representatives
in passing the Hill bill with only two
hours general debate emphasizes hos
tility of Republican party TO silver
and its insincerity in dealing with the
money question. Not daring to make
the silver dollar specifically redeem
able in gold that provision of the orig
inal bill was taken out
The bill provides for coinage of bull
lion now in the treasury into subsidiary
pieces instead of dollars, and then as
public necessities may demand silver
dollars the Secretary of the Treasury
to determine when such necessity ex-
ists and the nature of the necessity.
Thus the extent to which the volume
of standard dollars may be reduced is
to depend entirely upon the judgment
of the Secretary of Treasury.
Then by the practice of the Treasury
Department all of this fractional coin
will be redeemable in gold.
The pet hobby of Mr.. Hill, who is
pressing the bill, is total elimination of
silver dollar, and this is merely step
intended to secure the desired end. A
Secretary regarding the silver dollars
as a menace to our finance system
would aim to get rid of them as rapidly
as possible by converting them into
smaller coin, if these latter became su-
perabundant; the next step would be
to melt them and sell them as bullion.
The speeches in favor of the bill, all
made by Republicans, breathed spirit
of intense hostility to silver and the
Newlands amendment was offered. 1t
was to the Republicans like a red flag
in the face of bull. Mr.. Grow offered
an amendment providing that the sub
sidiary coins should be half-dollars,
quarters, ten and five-cent pieces and
that they should be of the same pro-
portionate weight as the dollar. No
Republican opposition was manifested
to this but when Mr.. Newlands pro-
posed an amendment to the amend
ment making such coins full legal
tender it was at once met by point of
order that it was not germane. Mr..
Hill attacked it, while Mr. Newlands,
Slafroth and others on the Democratic
side defended it.
The fight was sharp and pretty
one, but it was made 30 clear that the
amendment was germane that it was
impossible for the Chairman of the
Committee of the Whole to rule it out,
then amid derisive shouts on the Dem
ocratic side of "too late,o Mr.. Grow
attempted to withdraw his amendment
in order to cut out the Newlands
amendment. Of course he was too late
and the chair was obliged to SO hold.
When the vote was taken on the
Newlands amendment the division was
on straight party lines, every Republi-
can voting against it, thus placing the
party on record in favor of measure
which, if it becomes a law, will destroy
the market for silver in this country
Cor subsidiary coinage as long as there
Is a silver dollar in the Treasury, and
gradually reduce six hundred millions
of full legal tender now existing to the
grade of token money.
