much did he lose?”
Jimmie — “ About six hundred dol

Deafness Cannot bo Cared
by local applications, as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
way to cure Deafness„an4 that is by constitu

flamed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets in
flamed you have a rumbling sound or imper
fect hearing, and when it is entirely closed
Deafness is the result, and unless tho inflam

destroyed forever; nine eases out ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an in

Thirty-Third I>ay. —Numerous pe
titions were presented' in the Beiiate
Thursday morning favoring the free
coinage at different ratios. Faulkner
offered an amendment to the Wilson
repeal bill outlined in hie speech the
other day and asked it to lie printed
in Record. It provides for three mil
lion silver dollars, 412 1-2 grains
weight, to be coined every month
until $800,000,000 is coined and
directs the way in which pur
chases shall be made and money
issued. It also provides for the
gradual redemption of national
bank notes until no currency of
that description is in circulation
smaller than the denomination of ten
dollars. The Wilson bill was then
called up and Mr. Daniel, of Virginia,
began his speech. He was glad to
note how, when the acute panic -was
over, it was"easy to see the Sherman
law had nothing to do with sending
away gold, and the threatened repeal
had been in no earthly use in bring
ing it back. The conditions brought
about by the panic were the enormous
increase of debt, unprecedented in
lowering prices, that had been going
on for twenty years, and contempora
neous destruction of the money power
of silver.
Thirty-Fourth Day. —There was
such a very slim attendence of sena
tors in the chamber Friday morning
that after prayer and the reading of
Thursday’s journal, Mr. Quay ventur
ed to suggest the absence of a quorum.
The vice president, thereupon, order
ed the roll to be called, and during
the progress of the roll call forty
four senators —being one more than
a quorum—answered to their names
Among the pititions presented was
one by Mr. Cullom signed by a
large number of ex-soldiers, residents
of bis state, alleging that they were
beset by detectives of the government;
traveling in disguise secretly co-op
erating with those who have been distin
guished by their antipathy for those
who fought for the flag. It is alleged
that these spies, with friendly preten
ses, visit the home of pensioners, and
with the basest liypocracy and fawn
ing deceptions, seek to find some clue
to furnish information to the pension
office to deprive old veterans of their
pensions. At 12 :35 o’clock the sen
ate proceeded to the consideration of
the repeal bill, and was addressed in
defense of the bill by Mr. Lindsey,
democrat of Kentucky, it being his
first speech in the senate, except some
I remarks of an obituary character. He
! argued that the repeal bill left unim
| paired the bill of 1890, so far as it af
fected the coinage of silver in the future.
The greater part of Mr. Lindsay’s
speech, which occupied an hour and a
half, was devoted to a defense of Sec
retary Carlisle from the imputation
that lie had been a party to the con
spiracy of New York bankers to bring
about a panic in order to compel a re
peal of the Sherman law. Mr. Mor
gan defended the consistency of his
i arguments against the conference re-
I port of 1890 (the Sherman act) with
his position now against the repeal of
that law. Mr. Higgins addressed the
senate in favor of the unconditional
repeal of the Sherman law. In his
opinion the people had fairly made up
their mind that the repeal bill ought
to be passed and passed without delay
promptly. At the close of Mr.
Higgins’ speech Mr. Allison took the
floor, saying he desired to make a few
remarks on some phases of the pend
ing question. He postponed doing so,
however, until Saturday, and the sen
ate, after a short executive session at
5.30 o’clock adjourned until Saturday.
Thirty-Fifth Day.—A second effort
on the part of Senator Yoorhees Sat
urday to reach an agreement as to the
time for the closing debate on the re
peal bill, and proceeding to vote on
the bill and amendments, had no bet
ter result than his previous one, ex
cept that there was a sort of intima
tion by Mr. Teller that as no speeches
had been made for delay, none would
be, and that the question of closing
the debate might lie over for the pritf
ent at least. Mr. Allison made a thri
hours’ speech in order to prove that
the true way to rehabilitate silver was
to repeal the silver purchase law and
thus force England and the nations of
Europe to come to an international
agreement on the subject. The re
mainder of the day was given to eulo
gies on the life and character of the
late Senator Sanford, of California.
Thirty-Sixth Day.—The attendance
in the senate Monday was a small one.
Stewart gave notice that he would at
the earliest possible opportunity offer
an amendment to the silver bill, invit
ing Mexico and South and Central
America to join the United States in a
conference for the purpose of adopting
a common silver dollar of not less than
383.13 grain. The senates then went
into executive session.
Thirty-Sixth Day. -After the
routine of Tuesday morning in
the senate, Mr. Squire, republ
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-o\*ners
of free silver bullion may deposit it at
any mint to be turned into standard
silver of present weight and fineness,
for his benefit. He is to pe paid, how
ever, only such a number of standard
silver dollars as may equal the com
mercial values of the ' silver bullion,
lhe difference between the nominal
and coined silver of the silver
bullion is to be retained by
the government as seigneiorage.
The coinage of silver dollars is not to
exceed $4,000,000 a month, and the
total not to exceed's2oo,ooo,ooo. They
are to be full legal tender and no sil
ver certificates are to bo 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 alid 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
the bill to repeal the silver purchase
act was taken up; and Mr. Yoorhees
made a statement to the seriate, which
precipitated a lively discussion.. Aftei
a speech by Mr. Mills, in favor of the
bill, and by Mr. Stewart against it, the
senate, at 0:15 o’clock, adjourned.
THE HOUSE,
Thirty-Third Day.- The struggle
over the federal election repeal bill
w r as begun in the house Thursday
morning at the opening of the session
by the republicans, under the lead of
Burrows, who filibustered to prevent
the reception of the report from the
committee on election of president
and vice president in favor of the
Tucker bill. On Burrows’ motion to
dispense with the call of committees
for reports, republicans refrained from
voting, thus breaking a quorum. Tho
vote resulted, yeas 4, nays 106. The
call of the house was then ordered.
When the roll of absentees was in
progress every member for whom an
excuse was offered was excused from
attendance. This led Mr. Wilson, re
publican, of Washington,to ask whethr
er the absentees could not be excused
collectively instead of individually. The
speaker replied that they could not.
“Well,” said Mr. Wilson, as he took
his seat, “I thought we could get
through quicker if we excused them
in job lots.” A motion to adjourn was
lost—yeas, 47; nays, 145. The Tuck
er resolution was then read. It re
vokes all leaves of absence, except those
granted on account of sickness, and di
rects the sergeant-at-arms to telegraph
fot absent members. The previous
question having been ordered, a half
hour of debate was had, after which
Mr. Turner’s resolution was adopted
and the bouse at 2:45 o’clock ad-
journed.
Thirty-Fourth Day.--- The order
made Thursday revoking leaves of ab
sences and directing the sergeant-at
arms to telegraph for absentees did
not, when the house met Friday morn
ing, appear to have been productive of
very gratifying results. The attend
ance was a small one; and there were
more empty seats on the democratic
side than on the republican side. Pub
lic business was suspended and, under
a special order, the house proceeded
to pay a tribute of respect to the mem
ory of the late J. Logan Chipman, of
Michigan. Eulogies were delivered
by Messrs. Weadock, Powers, Curtis,
Carutb, McMillin, Haugen, Dearmond
and Escovert, and then, as a mark of
respect to the memory of the deceased,
the liom|# jt 3:20 o’clock p. m., ttd
journei'^^ij^
Thirty-Fifth Day.--i he proceed
ings in the house S® irday were a,
repetition of the proceedings of Fri
day and of the (lay before, with the
single exception that the session was
shorter and lasted but forty minutes.
The tactics which the republicans
have adopted to keep out a report on
the federal election bill were again re
sorted to and the democrats, not lui#.,
ing a quorum, yielded to the inevi®
bit* aud moved an adjournment, whiinfl
was taken at 12.40 o’clock until 1.45
o’clock Monday. v
Thirty-Sixth Day— After some morn
ing business, fillmstering 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
tho hall the clerk fead 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 secure the attend
ance of a quorum of democratic mem
bers.
HE WAS DRUNK.
Senator Irby, of South Carolina, on a
Big Spree.
A Columbia special says that Sena
tor John L. M. Irbv arrived in that
city Tuesday morning from Washing
ton in a beastly state of intoxication.
When he got off the train at the union
depot, he pulled from his pocket a
a double-acting revolver, passed
through the waiting room and pointed
it at a colored haekman, without any
cause. The haekman ran and Irby
was quieted and hustled into a hack.
He immediately went to sleep and was
driven through the streets with both feet
hanging out. Ho was carried to the
governor’s mansion and was met by
Mrs. Freeman. He didn’t appear to
realize where he was, however, and,
recovering, he again pulled his pistol,
but made no attempt to fire. He was
put to bed, but left for Laurens in the
same intoxicated condition. Irby’s
conduct excited much comment in Co
lumbia,

Buying ou Credit.
Going into debt is not necessarily
unwise or imprwper; debt isnot neces
sarily an evil. It is the habit of run
ning store bills that often lands a man
in iextricable bondage and misery
which makes a debt an inevitable nui
sance. Many a man will buy that
which is not absolutely necessary when
running a store account, who would
hesitate to make a similar purchase if
he had to pay the cash out of his
pocket on the spot. How many have,
for the sake of possessiug a machine
which they could not use one month
in the year, overwhelmed them
selves in debt to the tune of
hundreds of dollars; when by asso
ciated effort one such machine would
have served the purpose of. a neigh
borhood. Again, and on tile other
side it has paid many a yoflng, thrifty
and energetic man to buy a farm on
credit when he had only money enough
to stock it and provide the few imple
ments essentially necessary. Thous
ands of men have succeeded under
such circumstances in earning a farm
in a few years who would otherwise
have dragged their weary way along
as farm laborers, earning but little
more than enough talive on. Buying
goods on credit and running store ac
counts is an intolerable source of wor
ry and annoyance. —Mural World.

Breadmakiug.
In an article on “Breadmaking as
an Accomplishment” an English con
temporary refers to the scarcity of
breadmakers among cooks. Says the
writer : “It is astonishing how com
paratively few professional cooks will
nowadays undertake domestic baking.
I was staying with some friends in a
furnished house at an out of the way
place where the village bread was so
sour and bad as to be pronounced Un
eatable, and they were obliged to have
a supply twice a week by train from a
town 40 miles away, their coachman
having to go seven miles to the station
to fetch it, and this because their Lon
don cook—an expensive and otherwise
efficient specimen of her class—did
not understand the mystery of set
ting the dough to rise.”

3d. An Income Tax.
Believing that those who have much
