Mr. Kyle. pop . South Dakota, of
fered a free silver coinage amendment to
the repeal bill, ami it was referred to the
fluance committee.
REPEAL TAKES THF. FLOOR.
At 1:10 Mr. Cullom, rep . Illinois, ad
dressed the Senate in favor of the bill to
repeal the purchasing clause of the Sher
man act. In the course of Mr. ( ullom s
speech he was asked by Mr. Mitchell,
rep.. Oregon, whether, if the repeal hill
was passed and there was no further
legislation on the subject, another silver
dollar could be coined.
Mr. Cullom admitted that there could
not be. and added that that was the cast
Up to the passage of the Bland-Allison
bill. The repeal bill, he said, had no
suggestion as to what the standard should
be. whether gold or silver. He assumed,
however, that the party in power in the
Senate and country would take such ac
tion with reference to the silver on hand
as would be wise, and proper.
Mr. Cullom began by saying that the
question which engrosses the attention of
congress and the country was of more
surpassing imiortanee than any which
has t been the subjects of congressional
action since the abolition of slavery'.
Commerce is stagnant, banks and com
mercial houses are failing, ftu tories and
mines are closing, and within the last tax
months perhaps a million of
wage-workers have been thrown out
of employment. Unfortunately, there
was no agreement of opinion among the
people as to the cause of the distress or
of the remedy. Xo such peculiar condi
tion of affairs was ever known in our
history. All classes were without con
fidence and were appealing to congress for
speedy relief. He did not lielieve that
the appeals to lay aside sectionalism and
politics were needed; if tie did lie
should deplore the decadence of national
spirit.
ARGUMENTS GROWN HOARY.
If the national bank bill were enacted
it would result in an increase of our cir
culating medium, with as good money as
the world affords. It was rec ommended
by the Secretary of the Treasury. Before
a vote could be had upon it, it was found
to be necessary to discuss
all over again the whole na
tional banking system in the same old
strain and with the same old arguments
that had been heard over and over again
since it was established twenty-five years
ago. Wh.v not give the country the relief
it demanded and afterwards, when the
people had emerged from their present
distressed condition, take up and amend
the bank note act! He favored the pas
sage of the bill as it was, but he would
not object to the Gorman amendment.
He should vote for tne repeal hill
reported from the finance committee.
He did not believe that the Sherman act
was in a great degree responsible for the
condition, but he was for its repeal be
cause it was but a temporary' expedient,
and government could not afford to buy
silver and coin it or issue paper upon *it
when tile dollar represented less than
sixty cents worth of silver. Such
a performance, long continued,
would embarrass any government. Ho
was not a monometallist, and few men
demanded the ostracism of silver or of
gold, but the close commercial relations
which existed between nations made an
international agreement desirable, if not
absolutely necessary So he favored the
free use of silver upon an agreed ratio.
GOLD AND SILVER ALIKE AS MONEY.
Gold had no money function which sil
ver did not ixisse-s. Both metals were
the creation of nature, while money was
the creation of law. All that was known
of the science of money was the result of
eximriinent and experience, and it was not
certain that what to-day appeared to be a
well-defined principle would long remain
so. The people wanted silver, and so did
he; but first of all they wanted to have
all of the circulating medium of equal
value, without regard to material.
Mr. Cullom entered on an argument to
demonstrate the unsoundness of the prop
osition that a fixed ratio could not he
maintained between gold and silver, and
continuing, he said that the United
States must adopt a policy which would
do justice to all classes and all sections
of the country. Universal bankruptcy
would be as fatal to the creditor class as
to the debtor class. He sympathized
with the people of the silver states, but
it was necessary to have in mind the in
terest of all the people ands •cure free
coinage, if at all, upon an enduring basis.
"THAT AWFUL TARIFF."
Turning his attention to other causes
than the Sherman act of the present de
pression. Mr. Cullom said that he doubted
if the credit of the United States was as
good to-day as it was a year ago. In 1*93
a party came into possession of all the
branches of the government pledged to
repeal the protective tariff under which
the country had been developed and to
overturn the national bank sy stem which
had furnished the best money
the people had ever had and replace
it by state hank money at a discount
everywhere except in the neigh borhoodof
its issue. IVhat wonder that doubt or
want of confidence seized upon "the people,
which resulted in the almost complete
paralysis of business and the hoarding
away of money, and this extra session!
He hoped that lie was mistaken, but he
believed that we would not again hfivo
good times if the pledges of the Demo
cratic party were to be observed. Sena
tor Vance had argued that conditional re
peal meant a united party. The inference
was that conditional repeal meant a di
vided party. That would be a calamity
the country could easily bear.
BOTH PLATFORMS ALIKK.
In conclusion Mr. Cullom compared the
financial planks of both parties, holding
that they were much alike in respect to
the maintenance of the value of the
money in circulation. He showed that
the Sherman law had closed mines, and
under its further operation the United
States would buy only foreign silver.
The people wanted no fiat money, but
they did want a dollar intrinsically worth
100 cents. Said Mr.' Cullom: ' The
business men of all classes appeal
to us to pass the bill of the repeal of the
silver act of I*oo. Multitudes of laborers
are pleading for work, if there-is any
thing we. as legislators, can do consist
ent with national honor and financial
safety to lift the clouds that darken the
situation, remove the difficulties and
start the wheels of commerce, which are
now rusting on the railroad tracks, in the
shops, factories ami mines, let us do it at
onec.
SILVER COULD STILL BE COINED.
Mr. Aldrich, rep., Rhode Island, re
marked that the repoal of ilie purchase
clause of the act of 1 890 did not repeal
the provisions of the act which author
izes the coinage of the bullion on hand for
the redemption of the treasury notes.
slr. Cullom expressed his obligation
to the senator from Rhode Island for Ihe
suggestion. The repeal hid did not deal
with that question at all; so that the
whole subject stood as it was before any
effort was made to repeal the act of July,
1890. because it simply applied to the
purchase of silver bullion, and stopped
there.
MR. COKE FOR FREE COINAGE.
Mr. Coke, dem.. Texas, was the
next speaker. His speech waa bits...
more on the President's message th in on
tli" repeal bill. He declared that the
people would never be content until the
wrong of 1873, by which oue-lialf of the
country's money was stamped out in
order to double the purchasing power of
the other half, was undone, and reversed.
And now. said he, we are called uixiti to
perform the last act which expunges from
the statute book all re *ognition of silver
as money. To day silver bullion, degrad
ed as it has been, will buy in the markets
of the world as much more of the cotton
and wheat as it did in 1*73. be
fore it was demonetized, thus showing
conclusively, that it is not silver which
has fallen in value, but it is gold which
has risen, and under the influent* of leg
islation If. snid he, in the progress of
his s |eoch, this bill jxisses, the freemen of
America will have bowed their necks to
the yoke of European domination in their
foreign and domestic financial affairs.
Rothchild and the Bank of England,
with their connections, dictate the finan
cial policies of Europe: and if the single
gold standard is established in America,
then Rothschild and the Bankof England,
with their New York associates, will be
come the arbiters of American finance
and the dictators of our financial policy,
because they control the gold, which we
will be compelled to have.
Mr. Coke having drifted into the ef
forts of the New York bankers to in
flunce financial legislation, lie was inter
rupted by Mr. Vance of North Carolina,
who said he had received a letter this
morning bearing on that jioint. and with
Mr. Coke's permission he would read it
to the Senate. It was a letter received
by I H. Foust 'of Salisbury. N. C.. from
E. I*. Shepard &. Cos., bankers, of No. 3
Broadway' New York. The letter de
clines the offer of a loan, and adds:
“The senators from your country are not
looked upon as promoters of the general
welfare. If their stand represents the
views of your people on financial matters,
it will be very difficult for you to sec are any
accommodation from capitalists in this
section until there is a decided change.”
At the close of Mr. Coke's speech, the
Senate went into executive session. The
doors were reopened at 4 o'clock p. m.,
and the Senate proceeded with the con
sideration of the House bill to repeal the
purchasing clausei of the Sherman act.
THE PEFKER AMENDMENT.
The amendment offered by Mr. Peffer
on the first of September was called up
by that senator, and read. It consists of
nine sections, fixing a standard for both
gold and silver coins. After it was read,
Mr. I’effer intimated his willingness to
withhold his speech until to-morrow.
Mr. Voorhees asked the Kansas senator
whether he preferred not to go on to-day',
arid as Mr. I’effer professed indifference
on the point, Mr. Voorhees thought it
right to continue longer In session to-day.
MOTION TO ADJOURN REJECTED.
A motion to adjourn was thereupon
made by Mr. Jones, rep., Nevada, and the
yeas and nays on that motion were de
manded by Mr. Hale. The motion to ad
journ was rejected—yeas 30, nays 31—as
follows:
Yeas. Messrs Allen . Bate. Berry, Black

MR. REEFER IN EXPLANATION.
Mr. Peffer then took the floor and ex
plained and advocated his amendment,
lie said that it was copied verbatim from
the sections of the law of July, 1*73,
when the ratio between gold and silver
was changed, except that It omitted the
provision as to five-cent silver coins. He
said that the administration hud come to
congress demanding a particular act, the
repeal of the Sherman law. It had sug
gested no policy which would admit of
the usual compromise in legislative pro
ceedings. The administration had de
manded the pending bill or nothing, and
the people whom he represented had
accepted the • challenge. They
proposod to give no quarter,
as the administration promised to give
none. Avery large majority of the far
mers in the south were members of the
Farmers'Alliance, and one of the cardi
nal doctrines of the alliance was the free
and unlimited coinage of silver at the old
ratio. The alliance had supported no can
didate for any important oifice who was
not in sympathy with their views, and
who did not so express himself. Among
the public men who had done so was the
senator from Georgia (Gordon), who had
written a letter to the alliance
oxpressing his sympathy with it
and his approval of its doctrines.
QUOTING GEN. GORDON.
Mr. Peffer read Senator (lordan's letter
stating that lie indorsed "Without re
serve, and with unabated emphsius, the
policy of the alliance for an increase of
the circulating medium of the country.”
And that his sympathies were "deeply
enlisted in all the high purposes sought
to be accomplished by the farmers’ al
liance.
Mr. Peffer declared that a repeal of
the Sherman act, without a provision for
recoinage, would destroy the two old
political parties, and that the idea of the
abandonment of silver money was rejected
by all the people.
RENOUNCES THE FARMERS’ ALLIANCE.
Mr. Gordon said, in relation to his let
ter: “I indorse now all that I then said ;
hut I do not indorse the farmers’ alliance
since it fell from grace.”
"That relieves me,” said Mr. I’effer, “of
some embarrassment. It is not the farm
ers’ alliance that lias fallen from grace.
It is the Democratic party." For the peo
ple whom he represented he “spurned the
imperial decree.” and he gave warning
that they were in open rebellion against
it. He would bid Godspeed to tlie revolu
tion whicli was coming and which would

drive those people from power and restore
the government of the United States to
the people, to whom it belongs. He said
it was free coinage at the present ratio
which the people were asking.
■What do you propose!” Mr. Palmer
asked.
"To restore the old law of 16 to 1,” was
the answer. There has been no difficulty
in understanding where our people stand,
where the farmers are. We have been
there all the time.”
MR. PALM EH AGAIN INQUIRES.
“Will that produce the result you de
sire!” Mr. Palmer further queried.
“Yes,” sir, said Mr. Peffer; as it did be
fore. Will it now? It will now. Let us
try it awhile and see.”
Drifting into a discussion of the New
York newspapers, he declared that the
insolence of the metropolitan press was
to him intolerable, and that the people of
the west had no patience with it. He re
called a prediction which he had made
two years ago to the effect that the two
old parties would be brought together un
der the leadership of Grover Cleveland,
and announced that the prediction had
already been fulfilled. “They are there
now,” he said.
GAVE ’EM THAT TIRED FEELING.
At this point of the speech there were
not more than a dozen senators left in the
chamber, and among these were many in
dications of weariness. Mr. Peffer
showed no sign of it, however, and might
have gone on indefinitely, but after a
whispered colloquy with Mr. Cockrell,
the Kansas senator agreed to let the Sen
ate adjourn on condition that ho should
have half an hour to-inorrow before Mr.
Stewart takes the floor.
The Senate thereupon, at 5:45 o'clock,
adjourned until to-morrow at noon.
PRISONERS ESCAPE.
Albany Removes the Quarantine
Against Brunswick.
Albany, Ga., Sept. 4.—C. J. Williams,
alias Fayette, a forger, and Paul Oliver,
a negro burglar, confined in jail in this
city, effected their escape at an early
hour this morning. Fayette is the man
who, some time since, forged the name of
W. J. Roberts to several small checks.
He was subsequently captured in Way
cross. He is a very expert pfniuan and
slick citizen generally, and is believed to
be wanted in several other places for
different offenses.
The frequency of escapes is making
Dougherty jail a joke as a prison.
QUARANTINE RAISED.
Believing all danger from the yellow
fever to have passed, and that further
precautions were unnecessary. Mayor
Gilbert of this city to-day declared Al
bany's quarantine against Brunswick
and other hitherto affected points raised,
and persons from these points can now
come to Albany without hindrance or
objection.

thorpe streets, and captured live gay
women who had been making night and
day hideous in that vicinity. The women
were placed in charge of Sheriff Berrio
at the jail and will have a hearing to

Judg e Lumpkin Succeeds Judge Clarke
• Atlanta. Ga., Sept. 4.—Gov. Northen
to-night decided to appoint J. H. Lump
kin judge of the superior court to succeed
Marshall J. Clarke, resigned.
EFFECT OF THE APPOINTMENT.
Mr. Lumpkin’s appointment is one of
the worst blackeyes that has been struck
to "slates and combinations" in many a
day. and fully sustains Guv. Northen's
record in this respect. Messrs. West
moreland and Pendleton, who opposed
Lumpkin, were backed by the influence
of Secretary Hoke Smith. Mr. Smith re
mained in the city until this
evening, presumably to see the
end of the contest, which lias
been exceedingly heated and close.
BESIEGED BY THE FACTIONS.
Gov. Norihen lias bet n besieged all dav
by lawyers of the two factions, and to
night lie finished going through the docu
mentary recommendations at the execu
tive mansion and determined to reach a
decision ,illicitly. Mr. Lumpkin’s friends
are le.oiciug exceedingly their suc
cess to-night, and since the exclusive
exposure of the "slate” in their dis
patches of Sunday the governor's action
in smashing their programme is generally
commended in strong terms.
Judge Pendleton and judge Westmore
land, who were turned down by the gov
ernor. are both gentlemen of tlie bright
est reputation and hate many warm ad
herents who would have rejoiced at their
success, but the unmistakable evidence
.of the "deal” in the judgeship is what iu
cur red the public disapproval.

COTTON BADLY DAMAGED.
That is the Report That Comes From
Milieu.
Millen, Ga., Sept. 4.—Prof. Frank Lit
tle, of Sparta, Ga.. who was elected some
time ago as principal of the Millen high
school opened his school this morning with
quite a large attendance.
The cottofi planters around here are
still claiming a high jicrcentage of dam
age to their crops, and we are prepared
now to believe that they have not exag
gerated their loss, as nearly all the open
cotton was blown out on the ground and
the rains which have been falling since
the hurricane have caused the seed to
sprout in all the cotton which was blown
out.
One of our largest and most successful
planters stated to-day that the young
cotton was injured as much as the old,
but in a different way, the young cotton
being blown over and whipped about so
that it has quit blooming, and that what
has been heretofore known as the late or
top crop will be an unknown quantity in
this section this season.
David Buxton, a negro man living just
out of town, decided that his old-time
wife was not quite stylish enough for his
present state of prosperity, and that he
would change his residence to that of a
blue-black dudine who wore sy>ec
tacles. So packing his sack
with provisions and duds he
quietly wended his way yesterday morn
ing to the abode of his spectacled charm
er, expecting, doubtless to spend a quiet
day. But in this he was mistaken, as Bob
Anderson, the husband of his new mash,
came upon the scene armed with a double
barrel shotgun, and without stopping to
jaw over matters proceeded to pour hot
shot into the aforesaid residence by which
Dave Buxton was severely wounded in
the arm and had one of his eyes shot out.
Bob. however, continued to shell the fort
until he had crippled bis mother-in-law
and a little negro in the room. Then, he
quietly walked away and has not been
heard of since. None of the wounds are
likely to prove daugerous except those
received by the gallant David, which are
apt to prove fatal.
PROGRESSIVE WAYCEOSS.
The Thriving City to Have a Fine New
School Building.
Wayeross, Ga., Sept. 4.—The board of
education and city council, with several
of the most prominent citizens of the city,
met at the city hall Saturday evening to
consider the expediency of erecting a
large and substantial school building for
the accommodation of the white children
of the city. Judge Sweat said that
though the city had already incurred a
bonded debt for its water works, he
thought it advisable that an additional
debt could with consistency be incurred
for the consummation of this most laud
able enterprise. He suggested a building
to cost not less than $20.0(M) for construc
tion and furnishing. Capt. H. \V. Reed,
chairman of the board of education, also
spoke in regard to the inadequacy of the
present building.
Col. L. A. Wilson fully indorsed the
proposed undertaking.
Alderman W. W. Sharp thought the
amount suggested was too small to se
cure the entire object desired, and sug
gested $25,000 as the amount to be appro
priated.
Judge J. 1,. Sweat introduced a resolu
tion proposing tin appropriation of $25,000.
Representative L. A. Wilson was re
quested to introduce and have passed at
the next session of the legislature a bill
authorizing the issuing of $25,000 of
thirty year 6 per cent, bonds, or so much
thereof as may be necessary for the pur
pose of constructing and furnishing a
suitable public school building. Messrs.
Wilson. Hitch, Reed anil Crawly were
appointed a committee to draft a bill.
AN IMPORTANT CASE.
To Be Tried in the Superior Court of
Washington County.
Sandersville, Ga., Sept. 4.—Washing
ton superior court convened this morning.
There are 255 cases on the bar docket.
The most noted criminal case set for this
term of court is that against Hun Rogers,
for shooting and killing Junius Lawrence
and William Downs a few months ago,
near Harrison. Rogers was a leader of
the white caps, and Downs was one of the
crowd, but was accidentally shot, and
died a month later in jail, testifying on
his deathbed that Rogers had fired the
fatal shots.
The damage done to the cotton crop in
Washington county by last week's storm
is estimated at 15 per cent. Open cotton
was blown out of the bolls and beaten
into the ground, and the seed sprouted in
the half open bolls. A good deal was
blown down, and the bolls that rested
upon the ground or were densely shaded
have rotted. The damage to corn was
comparatively slight, except very late
corn. Farmers aregenerally discouraged
at the condition of cotton, but many are
congratulating themselves that they have
ample provisions for another year.
