MUST BE FOUGHT AGAIN
Another Battle Between Gold
and Silver.
$0 EXPERIENCED POLITICIANS SAT
she Present Session of Congress Will Be
In » Measure a Skirmish For the Com
ing Elections—And Both Parties Are
Lining Up For Battle.
Washington, Deo. 9. —[Special.)—Now
that the president's annual message to
congress has been read and discussed by
the statesmen it would seem only natural
to expect a clearing of the skies as to what
is to be done about Cuba and the currency
question. But the situation does not de
velop rapidly. The president’s message is
very clear on both these points, but as yet
congress shows no disposition to take up
and pass a bill providing the means of
breaking the endless chain which the pres
ident recommended. It is said to be the
programme of the leaders of the house to
try to agree upon a bill, and the banking
and currency committee will soon meet to
consider a measure looking to some action
in the direction indicated- by the president.
But it is considered very doubtful If siich
a bill ever comes to a vote in the house.
Speaker Reed doubtless has power to for
mulate a measure and make it party poli
cy and push it through if he wishes to do
so, but the speaker is understood to be in
a frame of mind rather indifferent than
eager.
They Cannot Agree.
The chief trouble is that the Republic
ans of the house cannot themselves agree
apparently as to what is best to be done.
As Mr. Reed says, “It would be impossi
ble to get ten men together to sign the
same affidavit that they know what the
country wants.’’ The speaker, foreseeing
the difficulty of agreement between the
men of his own party, does not care to
take the risk of trying to force action. He
would only weaken his leadership thereby.
Even if the house frames and passes a
currency measure of some sort, either a
simple endless chain breaker such as the
president wants or a more elaborate
scheme like that recommended by Secre
tary Gage in his report to congress, the
senate is pretty sure to sit down upon the
whole affair. Every one here knows just
what the trouble is in the senate. A little
less than a majority of the senate are in
favor of the gold standard and of every
measure that will tend to its preservation.
A little less than a majority are openly in
favor of the silver standard, or bimetal
lism, and they are not willing to do any
thing that will help to preserve the yellow
metal as the standard of this country. Be
tween these two columns are a number of
men who are in more or less doubt as to
where they stand, but whose desire is to
escape facing the issue. Under these cir
cumstances it is difficult to see how any
action of a positive nature can be expected.
A Battle predicted.
The most experienced mon here say they
think nothing of that nature will be done
by this congress. They believe the whole
question will have to go over till after the
financial question has been once more sub
mitted to the people. Most of the leading
men of both parties agree that the battle
between silver and gold has to be fought
over once more before this nation can be
regarded as having settled down either to
one standard or the other. The principal
difference of oipinion between the two
sides is as to whether it will take a presi
dential election to settle it. Some of the
Republicans think the congressional elec
tions of next year will be sufficiently de
cisive to determine the matter without
waiting for the campaign of 1900. Os
course they believe the* silver cause will
lose next year, and that .as a result there
of the Democratic party will not care to
make silver the leading issue in 1900. The
Democratic leaders, on the other hand,
believe they are going to win a big victory
next year. They say they will carry the
house of representatives, deprive the Re
publicans of complete control of the gov
ernment and then carry the fight into the
presidential campaign.
In any estimate which one may wish to
make of the work of this preseat session
of congress it is necessary to bear in mind
the conditions of which ! have just writ
ten. It is in large measure a skirmish for
the coming elections. Both parties are
trying to get into the best possible situa
tion for the battle. This applies to indi
viduals as well as parties. Therefore it is
safe to look for very little action and a
great deal of talk. Neither party cares to
incur any unnecessary responsibility. The
Republicans are afraid to strike down the
greenbacks, and the Democrats, being in
minority, are not called upon to do any
thing but oppose the policies of their ad
versaries.
Acres of Eloquent Words.
But talk—there will be no end of that.
All the senators who are to go before their
people for re-election,,and all the 357 rep
" resentatives who must submit to the will
of the voters next fall, are eager to express
themselves. They want to make records
with words rather than with votes, for in
voting they must as a rule follow thetr
party, whether it leads them into favor with
their home people or not, but the words they
may choose for themselves. So there will
be a great talking match, an endless chew
ing of the rag of disputation. Acres and
acres of The Congressional Record will be
filled with words which the able states
men want to send out'to their constituents
by means of millions of printed speeches.

Among the shrewd leaders of the house
this craze for talk in every session just be
fore a congressional election is well under
stood. The managers contrive in every
way In their power to “give the boys a
chance.” So no one need be surprised if
there are in both houses long debates
which will lead the uninitiated to the con
clusion that congress is about to enact the
nioSt important legislation. But a good
deal of it will be stage play, a mere pass
ing show in which the various actors are
to strut and froth for the benefit of their
admiring constituents back in the states.
Such is political and legislative life in
Washington. “How to get back to my
seat” is a much more important question
with most statesmen than “Howto save
the country. ” Walter Wellman.

FLORIDA SEASON NOW ON
Hotel* In the Laud of Flower* Open Their
Door* Fee the Winter.
Tampa, Fla, Dec. a—The Florida
season of 1897-98 commenced when the
doors of the Tampa Bay hotel at this
point were thrown open for the recep
tion of guests. Sixty days ago it wai
feared that the existence then of yellow
fever in some of the southern states,
but which has since entirely disap
peared, would huve a detrimental effect
npon the tourist business in Florids
this winter, but the fact that there hai
not been a single case within the con
i’ nes of the state having become s
widely known, the hotel managers re
port the prospects better for a largt
business than for years past.
In addition to a darge flow of people
arriving, they are receiving hundreds of
letters from tourists who will come
down after the holidays. They attrib
ute the bright aspect of things to Flor
ida’s having been entirely free from the
fever aud the extremely healthy condi
tion of the state, as well as to a not less
important fact, the restoration of ths
orange crop and the prosperous condi
tiou of affairs prevailing throughout
the country generally.
Large amounts have been spent by
the managers in additions and improve
meats to their houses, and the railway
and steamer lines are augmenting tho
present service, so as to give faster and
more luxurious transportation and fa
cilities for reaching the various resorts.
Other hotel openings will occur al
most daily until Jan. 15, by which time
the season will be in full blast.

ACTRESS ON A LIVE
Mlaa Flo Irwin la Hodty Shoekod at a
Kansu. City Theater.
Kansas City, Dea A—As Miss Flo
Irwin, the star of the “Widow Jones”
company, tripped on .the stage at a local
theater in the middle of the third act,
her foot caught on an electrio light
wire that had carelessly been left ex
posed across the floor from her dressing
room to the stage. She was so shocked
by the current that she fainted as she
reached the stage.
The curtain was rung down and the
performance closed abruptly. Miss Ir
win was carried to her room. It re
quired 20 minutes persistent attention
to restore her to consciousness and it
was an hour later before she was able
to be taken to her hotel.
Now the actress is apparently none
the worse for her experience.

AN ODD RESTITUTION.
Ring Which Had Been Lost In Italy Re
covered In America.
That truth is stranger than fiction is
often demonstrated, but Miss Reba Bryu
of Philadelphia tells of an experienc.
that carries off the palm. Twq year
, ago, while traveling through southern
I Italy, Miss Bryn lost a leather satchel,
i There were quite a sum of money and
some valuable papers in the satchel, but
what worried her most was the loss of
her engagement ring, which was of very
quaint design, having been the marriage .
token in the family of her fiance for sev
eral generations. Os course every en
deavor was made to recover the lost
article. Advertisements were inserted
in all the principal papers of the prov
ince, and although strenuous efforts
were made nothing was ever heard of
the satchel.
A few days ago, while visiting a
friend in West Philadelphia, a street
piano wheeled up before the porch on
which they were seated and after play
ing a few melodies a young Italian girl
came up to collect some money. Imag
ine Miss Bryn’s surprise to recognize
her long lost ring on the girl’s finger.
Questioning the girl in her native lan
guage brought forth the fact that her
family was from the district in which
the satchel had been lost. Her father
had been a sheep raiser, and a shepherd
dog he owned had one day come in with
the satchel in his mouth. No one in the
family could read, which probably ac
counted for the fact that it had never
been returned. An explanation of the
circumstances, together with a generous
reward, restored the ring to its rightful
owner.—Philadelphia Review.
