Z than thirty members present and

NCWlands of Nevada , awoke the cmpt
i echoes of the big hall with a vi oren
argument in favor of the free and in
- dependent coinage of silver. Ile a.
serted that not one debtor nation ii
the world had maintained the golf

i we had done so at the price of contin
' ; , ued bond issues.
Mr. Ilartman of Montana , anil Mr

j in favor of concurrence and Mr
'fucker of Virginia , in favor of non
! concurrence.
.Mr. Talbot of South Carolina rose t
y a question of personat privilege t
+ correct what he said wai ; an uninten
't tional rnisrcnrescntntton of himself h
the public prints. This led to a stir
tings incident. 1e said that 111. Pear
son of North Carolina had made ah
untyarrantcd attack on the loyalty o
hip state , winch he declared was a
toYaleas any - state in the union. Mr
Pcirson , had said that North Caroline

thc'union. and had got whipped along
with the Palmetto state.

1 fellows. In the heat of' the moment , '
he continued "and

that she was proud of it , and that

thought we were right ; I think so yet
and' that under the same circum
stances , surrounded by the same coa
ditions , that I would do the same
thing again. Now , Mr. Speaker I re
. i peat it. "
"lie has said that he has repeatei
d the statement that under certain cir
cumstances he , believed in secession
I
I I propose now to offera resolution o
censure , put in Mr. Barrett of Massa
.cliusctts.
By this time the excitement on the
. floor was intense.
i Mr. Crisp said that he had never
known an instance when a member
was called to order and a motion Iva ,
made that he be allowed to explain hie
-utter anecs that such a motion was no'
. considered. To this Mr. Barrett re
plied that he had no objection to the
gentleman from South Carolina cx
1Ilaining at the proper time his state
ment ; that the gentleman , havint
taken an oath to sustain the constitu
tion of the United States said he
' would. under certain cirunst ce , at
1 tempt to overthrow and hulni late the
governu ent.
I There was more parlimentary spar'
ring between Mr. Crisp and Mr. Bart
rett , during which the excitement
gradually rose , The Speaker finalh
cut the matter short by saying that i
i , the house was not satisfied with Mr ,
' 'r tlbocs explanation the resolution
might be offered. The Speaker de
'eicled tiiat Mr. Crisp's motion was it
order.
- " ! take it for granted , " said Mr.
Dingiey , rising , "that the house doe :
not intend to vote on a resolution o :
eensurtwithout according the gentle
man from South Carolina an opporun
ity to explain. "
These words- won the applause of
the Democratic side.
.Mr. Talbot availed himself of the
opportunity and explained that he
had risen to correct a misrepresenta
lion. lie had no idea that the pros :
intended to misrepresent him inten
tionally. South Carolina , he nro
ceeded , was as loyal and as true to the
Union as any State in the Union. The
circumstances under which she set
ceded could not exist again and he
was glad of it. ( Democratic applause ) .
Mr. Barrettof Massachusetts jumped
up at these words an asked that the
, words be taken down.
Several members appealed to him
r not to do so and the speaker asked
Mr. Barrett if he insisted upon the
demancl.
.Mr. Barrett seemed to hesitate when
Mr. Talbot again got on his feet and
declared in a loud voice that he was
willing to have his words taken down.
"I will stand by them , ' said he.
These words seemed to clinch Mr.
Barrett's resolve , and Mr. Barrett replied -
plied to the speaker with feeling :
-'Yes , I insist I want to see if a
member can violate his oath in this
fashion. "
1 r 'The chair understood that the gen-
.tlcman from South Carolina was only
repeating what he had said on a for'
t rncr occasion , " said Speaker Reed.
Mr. Barrett replied that in that case
' t he had a point of order to submit. Mr.
'Crisp , the Democratic leader , how-
cver , at tWs point crowded into the
.arena and moved that Mr. Talbot be
t permitted to explain. The words
were then read at the clerk's desk and
Mr : Barrett then formally made the
. 'point of order that when a statement
I. made by a member had been called in
- question and he deliberately reiter-
t .sled it , it constituted a new state-
I mcnt and a new offense.
After a wrangle and some explanations -
tions , Mr. Dalzell of Pennsylvania
'moved to refer the Barrett resolution
'to the committee on judiciary. This
i was carried by a vote of 154 to 41.
i j 'This is understood to mean that no
.notice will be taken of the matter.
Mr. Owens of i entucky was the only
Democrat who voted against the mot
lion.

MONROE DOCTRINE AGAIN ,
Senator Allen of Nelrtska Ventilates 11' '
VlrxVL
W.&SniNGTONFeb. 8.-Senator Allcl
of Nebratsla addressed the Senate to
day on the Monroe doctrine resolu
tion. Ho contended that the Monro
doctrine was one of national self-pre
ervation , and that if the Invasion o
the South 'American republics b' '
Great Britain will endanger the wel
fare or menace the safety of this Gov
crnment in any way , we should resen
the action with all the strength am
resources of a mighty nation. Th
United States must be the exclusiv
judge of when the doctrine is to b
apnlied. The United States , Mr. Allen
maintained , cannot permit Grea
Britain or any other foreign power td
determine when and to what extent
the acquisition of territory on the
'Vestern hemisphere will imperil ou'
Government.
lie thought , however , that it wouh
be ample time to act when the Venez
uelan commission shall have repcrted
and said : "If we sitalldetermithe tha
the action of Great Britain in acquir
ing territory in Venezuela will impcri
our government by imperiling the
rights of Venezuela , it , will become
our duty to marshal all the resource :
of our people to resist the tlhreatened
or actual invasion. If , on the other
hand , we shall determine , after dm
investigation and deliberation , tha
our interests will not be imperiled , i
will be our duty to abstain from and
interference with the action of Great
Britain. "
Continuing , Mr. Allen said : "The
threatened demolition of England am
the Enrrlish institutions that we have
heard in thiscliamberisnot real ; tllert
is no danger from foes without. WI
have simply been indulging in tin
harmless pastime of twisting the can
dal appendage of the 1Jritish lion is
arouse a war spirit in the breasts of on
people , and thus induce them to for
get their grievances and their wrongs.
" \Vc inistalre the temper of the
American people. They know ful.
well that there is no danger of oil
becoming involved in a war with Eng
land , or with any other foreign power.
They do not seek tvar , and 1 cannot
condemn in too severe terms the Iaell
of confidence in the sober judgement
the intelligence and patriotism of the
American people that has led at least
one Senator to assert that a large portion
tion of them would welcome war and
bloodshed as a relief from their present
conditions.
"If , unhappily , the time shall come ,
which God grant it may not , that
American valor must again be dis
played on the field of battle in defense
of American institutions and against
foreign greed and aggrandizement
hve may confidently expect the sum
of America to march under the flag of
the free , consecrated by the blood of
a hrlndred years to permanent and
glorious victory. Then for cvery
Grant there will be a Lee , for every
Sherman a Johnston , for every Thomas
a Jackson , for every Sheridan a Stuart ,
and Mason and Dixon's line Ivtjll be
blotted from the map of the United
States and true Americans , North and
South , wedded by the blood of the
revolution , the war of 1512 and the
war with Mexico , renewed by the es
trangement of 1861 , as lovers renew
and intensify their affection by es
traugement , soothed and sustained by
a united and splendid American wo
manhood , will give to the world a
lesson in valor that it has never
known before. "
MR. CLEVELAND TALKS.
Discusses the Recent Boni Tsue and
Syndicate Deal or 1895.
\VASIItNGI0X , Feb. 8.-In an inter
view President Cleveland said regard.
lug the bond issue : "From such in.
formation as comes to me from various
private sources , I am convinced that
more small holdings of gold will be
drawn into the treasury by the present
arrangement than appear on the sur
face. The small , countrv banks , fox
instance , which are buying bonds for
their customers , have made their bid ;
through their Ir'ew York and Boston
correspondents , and thisgivesthe loan
the appearance of having been taken
up by the big financial institutions at
the money centers , although , as a mat
ter of fact , not a little of it will come
from the small investors. "
The subject of the syndicate contract -
tract of February , 10P5 , having been
mentioned , Mr. Cleveland remarked
that he had never had reason to question -
tion the wisdom of that arrangement
under the conditions then existing.
"That contract , " he added , "helped
us out at a time when a forty-eight
hours"delay might have produced serious -
rious results. I sympathize , nevertheless -
theless , with some of the objections
made to.that form of placing a loan.
The difference between the price obtained -
tained from the syndicate and the
price currently quoted can be twisted
into an argument which will appeal
to people who do not stop to calculate
the actual cost to the syndicate of
floating a loan at that time.
"My preference would have been to
have the present loan much more pop-
tiar than it appears on its face , but
we have done the best we could. The
people wh'o hoard small savings of
gold or the equivalent of gold are unaccustomed -
accustomed to transacting business on
the basis on which these bonds had to
be issued ; they arc unused to premiums -
ums or to the formalities of making
bids. If we could have sold them ,
three per cent gold bonds at par , I
think it would have brought out a
good deal of this gold , but the only
bonds the law allows us to issue have
to be sold considerably above par in
order to keep the net rate of interest
within reasonable limits. "
Treasury Losing Gold.
WA6mNGTON , Feb. S.-The treasury
yesterday lost $1,072,800 in gold coin
and $10,400 in bars , leaving the true
amount of the reserve $15,293,778.
Notwithstanding the success of the
new loan , tears are entertained that a
considerable share of the gold offered
in payment will have been withdrawn
from the treasury for that purpose.

Edson , who was at one time commit
sioner of health of the city and count

lishes an article in the Medical Recor
under the following title : "A Ill

headline comes the description of
discovery made by Dr. Edson , which
it is said , may solve the hitherto ugh
solved nroblem of the cure of tubercu

losis.
After a long and tedious experimen
lie prorlrced a fluid which lie call
aseptolin. It is perfectly colorless

syringe once in twenty-four hours.
Tuberculosis - consumption-is

are called the tubercle bacilli. Dr
Edson discovered aseptolin in Septem

the patients have been under treat

Behind the bat lie

And as he gives his

He seems to grow

"Come , get sonic ginger in yer !
Two out ! Play ball ! " he cries.
He's slender built and wiry ,
Withl freckles on lhfs nose ,
Could he throw down to second ?
Well , hardly , you'd suppose ;
But see how quick lie's snatching
The ball from off the bat ,

"Hey , Empire , how was dat ! "

is recounted as follows :
"Alas ! " cried a diamond to the whee
upon which it was being cut , "here

days. what a misfortune it was tha
I ever came your way ! "
"Say not so , " replied the wheel' in en

I shall ever adorn the brows of a king ? '
"It is quite possible ; but if not alt

The following pitiful story of the
ruin wrought by the rum demon , is reported -
ported :
A wretched mother dropped dead
about four weeks ago at the feet of the
son who had been a burden and a sorrow -
row to , her. This son , who was thirty
years old , instead of helping his
mother , spent his wages for whisky.
At last the mother concluded that corn-
mitting him as an habitual drunkard
might lead to his reformation. She
was called to the witness stand to swear
tothe , complaint , but the strain was too
great for her , and she fell dead with the
words on her lips , "It's breaking my

How to Breathr.
A gentleman gave good advice to a
young lady who complained of sleep-
lessness. He said : "Learn how to
breathe , and darken your room completely -
pletely , and you won't need any doc-
toring. "
"Learn how to breathe ! I thought
that way one thing we learned before
coming into the world so terribly full
of ether things to be learned , " the insomniac -
somniac said , ruefully- .
"On the contrary , not one in ten
adults know how to breathe. To
breathe perfectly is to draw the breath
in long , deep inhalations , slowly and
regularly , so as to relieve the lower
lungs of all noxious accumulatlom
Shallow breathing won't do this ,

a man was killed on a bridge hetweel

spot. The boys decided to go and hay
a tilt with the ghost , and started for the
bridge. One of the boys rigged him

Opening Schools of I'atriutistn.
The underlying merit and main par
pose of the Order of the Patriots of
America is the opening of schools o ;
patriotism in all parts of the country ,
In this way the people will learn the
elementary principles of a popular or
republican form of government. It is
expected by its promoters that this will
also secure harmony of action among
the people and teach that fellowship
that comes with a cultivation of the
brotherhood of man. The idea of schools
of patriotism will hardly be objected to
by any one. A closer study of this new
order wilt be made by many with great
interest.
The ilotiter of Vice.
It is a significant fact that the following -
ing denunciation of the liquor traffic
should come from the London Times :
It would be impossible to find anything -
thing which stands for so much loss to
soul , body and estate as the public
house. Even if we accept the best case
that can be made for it in principle ,
the fact is it is still a huge nuisance
and misery , there is not a vice or disease -
ease or a disorder or a calamity of any
kind that has not its frequent rise in
the public house. The public house
degrades , ruins and brutalizes a large
portion of the Britishh people.
Value of the Ophir Gotd.
A learned German has calculated the
amount of gold which David and Solomon -
mon fetched from Ophir , that mysterious -
ous land of fabulous treasure , for the
adornment of the temple at Jerusalem.
David got 3,000 kikkars and Solomon
540 kikkars ; total , 3,540 kikkars , or 160 ;
804 kilogrammes of gold , representing
a value of 580,000,000. With equal
learnedness the same authority has fig-
tired out that "Ophir" signifies "the
land of the south. "
Perjurers to Bo ] 'uni'hed.
Henceforth the German courts will
prosecute perjurers more generally and
more severely than heretofore. even
when perjury is to be attributed to negligence -
