CONGRESS IN SESSION.
lie Daily Routine ot Ml Houses
Briefly Epitomized.
What is Being Done to Allay Finan
cial Depression and Bring Relief.
Thirty-Sixth Day. —After the
routine of Tuesday morning in
the senate, Mr. Squire, republi
ican, of Washington, gave no
tice of a substitute which he
intended to offer for the bill to repeal
the silver purchase act; and it was
read in full. It provides that owners
of free silver bullion may deposit it nt
any mint to be turned into standard
silver of present weight and fineness,
for his benefit. He is to pc paid, how
ever, only such a number of standard
silver dollars as may equal the com
mercial values of the silver bullion.
Tho difference between the nominal
and coined silver of the silver
bullion is to bo retained by
tho government as seigneiorage.
The coinage of silver dollars is not to
exceed $4,000,000 a month, and the
total not to exceed 8200,000,000. They
are to be full legal tender and no sil
ver certificates are to be issued. A
resolution to pay Mr. Beckwith $2,000
for his time ahd expense in prosecut
ing his claim for a seat in the senate
under appointment from the governor
of Wyoming was taken from the calen
dar and agreed to. Also like resolu
tions to pay Mr. Mantle from Montana
and Mr. Allen, of the state of Wash
ington, $2,500 each. At 12 :30 o’clock
tho bill to repeal the silver purchase
act was taken up; and Mr. Voorhees
made a statement to the senate, which
precipitated a lively discussion. After
a speech by Mr. Mills, in favor the
bill, and by Mr. Stewart aghast it, the
senate, at 0:15 o’clo li > adjourned.
Thirty-Seventh I4ay —After the
routine morninc business in the senate
tiierewas a conflict between
Mr. Voorhees and Mr. Platt as to the
right to the floor. Mr. Voorhees desir
ed to call up the repeal bill, while Mr.
Platt wished to make a statement as
to tho cloture rulo which he had given
notice of Tuesday. Ho intimated that
tho Indiana senator might be a little
kinder in his treatment of other sena
tors. Mr. Voorhees said that he
would have yielded if Mr. Platt had
asked it, and that now he would yield
without being asked. Mr. Platt was
thus given an opportunity of stating
that as tho senator from Missis
sippi (Mr. George) desired to address
the senate he (Mr. Platt) would not in
troduce the resolution of which he had
given notice but would do so at some
future time. Mr. George then began
his speech, saying that, as he happen
ed to differ from the democratic ad
ministration on the bill, and as he be
lieved that his constituents concurred
with him, he thought it well to state
his views with some jirecisiou. The
passage of the bill by the senate, he
thought, would be a leap in the dark,
as likely to increase as to diminish
financial troubles. <
Thirty-Eighth Day.— Mr. DJatt of
fered his cloture rule in the' senate
Thursday morning. Discussion on the
rule was closed by letting the matter go
over till Friday. Mr. Platt was com
plimented by Mr. Yoorhees for his
clear and lucid statement of the situa
tion. Substitutes for the resolution
were suggested by Mr. Hoar and Mr.
Hill. A strong argument in favor of
the cloture rule was made by Mr.
Lodge, although he recognized the
fact that the adoption of the rule would
be made use of to pass measures which
he considered worse than the Sherman
net—that is, anew tariff bill and a bill
to repeal the election laws.
Thirty-Ninth Day.— After very
short routine morning business in the
senate Friday, the cloture resolution
was laid before the body, and Mr.
Woloott took the lloor and made a
statement. Although he said that he
would vote against it, he declared that
no factious opposition would be made
to it, and that a vote upon it could be
reached much sooner than a vote upon
repeal could be. If the senate desired
a vote on the clotures resolution it
could have it without much debate.
He would not interpose the slightest
objection to a full and fair and free
vote upon it. He would be content
himself with voting against it. If there
was a failure to press it to a vote,
then criticism on senators opposing
the repeal would have to cease. The
debate on the repeal bill could be sti
fled by the cloture rule, but it could
not be stifled otherwise. In his opin
ion, however, cloture was not neces
sary, because there had been no fac
tious delay. Mr. Teller argued against
the cloture rule, and wound up his
speech by declaring that he would re
sist every method, obstructive and
otherwise, for the adoption in the sen
ate of a rule which should limit or ob
struct debate. He took his seat a few
minutes before 2 o’cloek. If he had
spoken till 2 o’clock the resolution
would have gone to the calendar, but
Mr. Turpie expressed an intention of
speaking on the resolution Saturday.
So the cloture resolution remained on
the table. 'The repeal bill was then
taken up and Mr. George continued
the speech against it.
40th Day.— ln the senate, Saturday,
Mr. Stewart offered the following res
olution and said he would address the
senate Monday: “Resolved, That the
independence of the co-ordinate de
partments of the government—the leg
islative, the executive and the judicial
—must be maintained and the use of
the power and influence of one depart
ment to control the action of another
is a violation of the constitution and
destructive of our form of govern
ment.” The resolution proposing the
establishment of a cloture rule in the
senate was discussed for nearly two
hours and was then referred to the com
mittee on rules. A constitutional argu
ment was made against by it Mr. Turpie.
He expressed the opinion that there was
no necessity for either extreme —cloture
on obstruction—and that a middle
ground should be discovered on which
the senate might prcjjeed safely and
without shock to its traditions. There
was an effort on the part of Mr. Yoor
hees to take up the repeal bill, but Mr.
-•ones, of Arkansas, reminded the sen
ators that there was a matter pending
in executive session which would occu
py the remainder of the day. The
senate then proceeded to executive
business, in which it remained until 4
o’clock, when it adjourned until Mon
day.
THE HOUSE.
Thirty-Sixth Day— After some morn
ing business, filbustering against the
federal election laws repeal bill was
resumed in the house, Tuesday. Bur
rows moved to dispense with the call
of committees for reports, such re
ports to be submitted without excep
tion, except as may propose changes
in federal election laws. Objection
was made. Burrows then moved to
dispense with the call and the ayes and
noes were ordered. Republicans re
frained from voting, but got no
support from democrats. The demo
crats came within five of a quorum,
securing 173 votes. Filibustering was
continued, when, rather unexpectedly,
Mr. Fitch moved that the house ad
journ, which was carried without dis
cussion, and at 2,45 o’clock the house
was declared adjourned until Wednes
day. Before the members could leave
the hall the clerk read a call for a
democratic caucus to assemble imme
diately. The republicans greeted the
call with laughter and applause as they
filed out. The caucus was called, it is
understood, at the instance of Speaker
Crisp, who was excessively annoyed
over the failure to securo the attend
ance of a quorum of democratic mem
bers.
Thirty-Seventh Day.—lmmediate
ly after the approval of the journal in
the house Wednesday, the fight over
the federal election bill was resumed.
Mr. Burrows moved to dispense with
the call of committees for report*-
Pending this, Mr. Catching*
ed a resolution from **> committee on
rules, but it was read Mr. Bur
rows raised <he point that the resolu
tion y'as n °t i n order. The
Pl >eaker overruled the point of order
and then the house was thrown into
great confusion. Mr. Reed and the
speaker had some very bitter j>as
sages. Mr. Burrows appealed from
the decision and Mr. Fitch moved to
lay the appeal on the table. Pending
a vote on the Fitch motion, Mr. Bur
rows moved a recess. Mr. Catchings
made a point of order against the mo
tion and Mr. Burrows argued
in its support. Mr. Burrows’ ap
peal from the speaker’s de
cision was tabled; yeas 172, nays 56.
The report of the committee on
rules was then agreed to—yeas 176,
nays 9, and the speaker proceeded to
call the committee for reports. Mr.
Tucker reported the federal election
bill and it w'as placed on the calendar,
and then the house at 5:45 o’clock ad
journed.
Thirty-Eighth Day. —The fight over
the federal election bill w r as inaugu
rated Thursday morning in the house
by a request from the committee on
rules, providing a cloture by which a
vote shall be taken on that measure on
October 10. After a short passage
between Mr. Reed and the speaker
relative to the journal, the approval*of
the latter was deferred, and Mr.
Catchings presented the report of the
rules committee, providing for taking
up the elections law repeal bill on
September 26 and a final vote on Oc
tober 10. The yeas and nays were
called on ordering the j>revious ques
tion, and it was ordered, 175 to 4.
Thirty-Ninth Day— After the ap
proval of the journal, the considera
tion of the report of the committee on
accounts assigning clerks to commit
tees was resumed by the house Friday
morning the pending question being a
motion to lay upon the table a motion
made by Mr. Crain, of Texas, to con
sider the vote by which the house
Thursday agreed to the Paynter Sub
stitute depriving certain of the smaller
committees of their clerks. The mo
tion to reconsider was tabled—yeas,
14*2 ; nays, 57. The vote then occurred
on the report of the committee on ac
counts, and, as amended, it was agreed
too. A resolution was adopted request
ing the attorney general to communi
cate to the house such instructions as
have been forwarded to officers of the
department of justice relating to the
enforcement of the Chinese exclusion
act. Also a resolution calling for sim
ilar information from the secretary of
the treasury as to the instructions sent
to collectors, etc. An additional clerk
was assigned to the committee on
claims. 'Then came a report from the
committee on accounts assigning an
additional clerk to the committee on
naval affairs. The vote on the report
resulted: Yeas, 102; nays, 70—no
quorum—and the house, at 2:20
o’clock adjourned.
40th Day. —The session in the house
Saturday was devoid of interest, ex
cept such as was given to it by Mr.
Bretz, democrat, of Indiana, who af
forded much merriment to the house
by complaining against Assistant Post
master General Maxwell for not re
moving a postmaster in a little village
in his district because the postmaster
had offered to make him (Mr. Bretz)
a present of sls if he would have him
retained. He wanted the matter in
vestigated, and the republicans were
perfectly willing to grant his request,
but Mr. Tracy, of New York, object
ed. The report of the committee
on accounts, giving an additional
clerk to the on naval
affairs, was postponed until Monday,
and in the consideration morning hour
the house, in committee of the whole,
proceeded to the consideration of the
bill remitting the penalties on account
of the delay in the construction of the
dynamite eruiser Y 7 esuvius. Pending
action the morning hour expired and
the committee rose. The printing bill
was tnen laid before the house as un
finished business. Mr. Pickier, repub
lican, of South Dakota, took advantage
of a few moments to enter his protest
against monometallism, and to have
read an editorial from the Ne.w York
in which the republicans in the
senate are advised no longer to sup
port the Cleveland administration.
Without disposing of the printing bill,
the house adjourned.

Glycerine.
Glycerine is one of the most useful
and misunderstood of every-day assist
ants. It must not be applied to the
skin undiluted or it will cause it to
become ned and hard, but if rubbed
well into the skin while wet it has a
softening and whitening effect. It will
prevent and cure chapped hands; two
or three drops will often stop the
baby’s stomach ache. It will allay the
thirst of a fever patient and soothe an
iiritable cough by moistening the dry
ness of the throat. Equal parts of bay
rum and glycerine applied to the face
after shaving makes a man rise up and
call the woman who provided it bless
ed. Applied to the shoes, glycerine is
a great preservative of the leather and
effectually keeps out water and pre
vents wet feet. A few drops of glyc
erine put in the fruit jars the last
thing before sealing them helps to
keep the preserves from molding on
top. For flatulency there is no better
remedy than a teaspoonful of glycer
ine after each meal.
A Lesson in Politeness.

Little Johnny—“ Course it is. What

enough for two.”
A thoughtful little boy asked his
father: “Papa, do men descend from

what about the monkeys?” And the
puzzled father replied:“The monkeys
descend, my boy—that is—er —they
descend from the trees!”— Chicago

Cow Pea Hay.
I cannot speak from experience of
the feeding value of cow pea hay, but
it is used in the South, and analysis
shows that it is a richer food than clo
ver hay. When cut before the pods
form it contains 17 per cent, of albu
minoids, aud its nutritive ratio is
about 1:4.5. When allowed to ripen
the peas on the ground they make ex
cellent food for hogs, although it is
said that like acorns, etc., they should
be followed by corn in the fattening
or the meat will not be firm and well
flavored. But it is asa manurial plant
that I value the cow pea, and lam
sure that as an adjunct to clover it will
grow in favor iu Ohio and South
ern Pennsylvania and when well
known will be regarded as indispensa
ble in its proper place.—National
