nssemblltig by persons Interested in the re
sult of the balloting on the silver question
nfter the two weeks of debate. When the
speaker rapped for order at noon nearly

While wallinir for the call to order Mr.
Dland freely admitted that.tho claims of the
null-silver men of a majority of
Jlfty were well founded , and might bo ex
ceeded , and it looked as if the Wilson bill
might po through with llttlo or no friction.
After the reading of the Journal Mr.
Wovor of Now York nppnared at the bar of
the house and was sworn In. Then the
clerk reported ttio resolution containing the
order of procciJuro on the silver question ,
providing for a vote llrst on the free coinage
of silver at the ratio of Hi to 1.
Mr. Hailoy of Toxaa asked if , in case all
the amendments as to the ratio were de-
fen ted , it weald bo In order to propose an
additional amendment.
The speaker thought not , but would hear
tbo gentleman on the subject when the time
came lo formally present the subject.
Mr. MpMIllin of ronncsseo wished to offer
an amendment for the free coinage of the
product of the silver mines of tlio United
States.
Mr. Bland objected oven to the reading ,
saying It was not free coinage at all.

Silver as a money metal received a stun
ning blow In the housoof representatives
today. Not only did that body p.xss a bill
unconditionally repealing the silver purchas
ing act of July , 18UJ. by ISO majority , but it
refused a free coinage amendment by an
overwhelming majority and defeated a num
ber of amendments increasing the ratio of
silver as a money metal compared to gold by
an equally largo nr.ijorily , and.burli'd forever
the Hlnml-AllUun act of 188 , which one of
Its authors sought to rovlvo.
No ono antlclp.ilodanylhlng like the ma
jority glvon unconditional repeal , the highest
estimate placed upon the majority Just
before the roll was called upon the llrst
vote being sixty. Mr. liland ana his fol
lowers were almost breathless with surprise
when the result of the vote upon free coinage -
ago was announced. All of the republicans ,
excepting about a dozen , voted against free
j coinage upon any ratio and for rcpo.il. The
bulk of the free coinage votes came from the
democrats , as also most of the opposition to
"
uncoiuillional repeal.
in'uct In.tho Srimlr.
The votes of the house have had a very
slrong effect upon the senate , whore the Ireo
coinage advocates have for somn time hinged
their hopes. Four or live senators have
already : i announced a change of heart , among
them , Hansom of North Carolina and Cordon -
don of Georgia. A loading democratic sena
tor t is authority for the statement that thcro
will * ha no lllibustering or any unusual
methods employed upon the democratic
sldo to defeat a fair and square vote upon
tbo hill that p.issod in thu house to.hu. Ho
says that so far as the democratic free coinage -
ago so"ators are concerned they wlllspoak
and vote against unconditional repeal and
for the amendments which will bo offered
and then lot the bill eomo to a voto. Tlio
free coinaeo senators openly acknowledge
that they arc In Die minority In the senate ,
and that It Is now next to an impossibility
to dofcat uncondilional repeal by any method.
Their hop ? of defeating it by a prolonged
dcualo and avoiding a direct vote seems
almost blasted. It Is bolloved by almost
every ono that the hill , which passed the
> iouso today , will become law before many
days. Then silver as a money metal , further
than that already in use in this country ,
will have to depend upon the success of an
international agreement.
The Nebraska delegation , during all of tlio
voting , was consistent with the positions
heretofore assumed by the members. Mr.
Ilainor voted against all of the amendments
offered to the unconditional repeal and for
the bill. Mr. Mercer voted against all but
unconditional repeal. Mr. Bryan voled for
the ratio of 10 to 1 and against 17 , 18 , ID and
20 to 1 and against ropeal. llo is for free
' coinage at the prcsont ratio. Mr. Kern votca
'tho same , Mr. McKcighan ditto , and Air.
Moiklejohn voted against all amendments
and for 20 to 1.
How llppulilionns Are Disolmrged.
.At 'no tlrao prior to the enactment of the
civil service law wo'ro' changes niado with
greater frequency or In n moro swooping
manner than have taken place m the minor
calces' of the various oxocullvo departments
during thu past Ihreo months. This is
especially true in the Treasury and Interior
departments. It would scorn that Secretaries
Carlisle and Smith were pledged to exercise
most vigorously tbo USB of now brooms.
Scarcely a weelc day has passed within
three or four monlhs that the local news
papers of Washington have failed to chron
icle the displacement of from ten to fifty
clerks In those departments. The past few
days have been fruitful harvests for the
spoilsmen.
'An impression abounds that when once a
man or woman secures employment in the
executive departments of Washington
through the Civil Service commission and the
competitive examination processes that
cleric is secure from displacement for partisan -
san reasons. Most people behove that department -
partment employes within the classified scrv-
ice those whose salaries range fron i'J'M to
? 1,800 annually are secure against icmoval
if Ihoy only properly perform their duties
and commit no personal ofl'unso. This is n
mistake. There are two direct muthdds of
gulling rid of any i-lerk or other employe.
The first is to discharge him or her for the
alleged reason that the service performed is
not nuccssai-y. The sccouu is that the clerk
is incfllcicnt.
Other WIIJ-K to Work It.
Again , the head of the department can
reduce Ihe salary of the clerk or employe tea
a point below the minimum of the civil
service classification or promote and In
crease the salary to a point above the classi
fied list and then dismiss without giving
any reason. Still another way to dispose of
a clerk within the chiselled list is to simply
dismiss , and then when cause is demanded ,
to say : "You were offensive In Iho discharge
of yourdulles. "
Not one of Iho thousands of republican
employes of the federal government who
have been summarily dismissed from service
since thu advent of President Cleveland has
ever thought for a moment of making com
plaint to the Civil Survico commission or du-
mandlng a reinstatement. Thuru is prob
ably not a case on record where an effort at
roinstalomont was successful , Efforts have
been made , but a sunluiunt excuse was given
by the huad of the department who dh-ijclud
the dismissal. A largo number of tests
wore made during PrcsiJcntCluvolnnd'rflirst
term , but it was soon learned that'efforts nt
reinstatement wore so much good labor lost.
A popular method of getting rid of repub
licans under this administration has been to
'order a "reduction of forces" In this ami that
department. Some time after thu wholesale
dismissals the.head of the department will
begin to promotn democrats to fill the va
cancies In the higher grades , and in many
Instances democrats under the classified list
have been pushed up within classification.
When ox-Governor Thompson of South Carolina
lina was assistant secretary of the treasury
during President Cleveland's first term , ho
Invented the scheme of reducing or raising
republican clerks , so as to gut them outsldo
of thu classified list , with the view to sum
mary dismissal , Ho then got democrats Into
tnolr places by the sumo process. Repealed
attention was called to this work , but the
Civil Service commission was impotent. Gov
ernor Thompson was rewarded for Ins disre
gard of'civil service principles by being made
a civil service commissioner.

tarty had twisted Its platform until it re
sembled the remnants of a tornado. Ho
said the action of congress reminded him of

i court housu and resolved that
ho "new one bo located where tbo old
no stands and the old ono bo not torn
lown until the now Ono Is erected. " This ,

cratic congress is handling the silver ques-
ion. The allusions of the speakers to
Icmocracy and Cleveland were applauded.

The llrst demonstration of the day was the
irrivalof Judge A. II. Cnurch , commander '
of the Department of Nebraska. Ho came
n ut 2 o'clock from North Plattc , and was
eeoived at the depot In belllting manner.
I lo was mot by the Hoys Cornet Imnd of
laslings and tlio members of the reunion
. ominitteo. Later in the afternoon other
listingulshcd veterans came. They were
riven a proper reception at the depot. At 4
/clock Adjutant General Evans , Chief of
itatT Hurmcister. Adjutant General Uago ,
W. B. AlcArthur , colonel commanding Sons
of Veterans , and ColoifflrHraB-Cook-nrrhodf -
The Jlrst band to arrive was the Boys
hornet band of Hastings. Thb' ' Edgar
Cornet band soon followed , and
there was music galore in the camp.
Both' ' . organizations remembered de
partment headquarters with a serenade.
[ " " "ully 4,00(1 ( people were on the ground
ill afternoon , wandering hither and thither.
Beyond the music provided by the bands
mil tlio arrivals of distinguished people ,
there were no attractions , barring , of course ,
the merry-go-round , the fuativo fakir , the
sldo snow , etc.
At tlio quartermaster's ofllco it was given
out that nearly all the tents had been taken.
There was a constant stream of people tliore
and the supply will soon bo exhausted. The
llnust of weather la favoring the reunion.
J'hu sun sheds Its brightest rays and the
temperature is pronounced perfect.
I.oolclnt ; for a Crowd.
The indications today are that the reunion
will bo biggur and hotter than over before.
At no time since Grand Island has had the
gathering of the veterans has tlioro been
such a demand for accommodation. Inquiry
from almost every post in Nebraska has
been made and quarters have been piovided.
The veterans seem to regard the Colum
bian year as a year of patriotism , and what
ever in that hne.is undertaken is marked by
astounding success. Such is the reason for
ttiu belief that thl ? reunion will-eclipse all
others. Whenever there is any patriotism
to bo shown In it" truest colors-lt'takes a
veteran to do It oviry : tlmo. , , 'Ho hps had it
Instilled into his blood froin\tuef'fcrat \ > lo up
and the facing of the oneilly'ori a battlelluld ,
the roar of musketry and' cannon and the
scent of powder has sorvui ] totemper it with
the characteristic of slocl 'io far us trnonca
