Washington, Oct. 23, 1893.
President Cleveland and the dem
ocratic Senators—all of them—have
found that common ground upon
which all democrats can stand with*
out sacrificing either the party or
their individual principles concern
ing the treatment of silver by the
government. Renders of this corre
spondence Will not nerd to be told
that 1 have never for a moment dur
ing the long and sometimes seeming
ly endless controversy in tlie Senate
doubted for a moment that the final
result would be such a compromise.
To repeat a hackneyed phrase, “the
logic of the situation” pointed from
the first to compromise as the only
satisfactory end to the contest, from
a democratic point of view.

accepted bv the Senate committee

No Senator, either democrat, repub

of the party. The democrats who
voted against his confirmation did so
for other reasons.
From the best obtainable iufor

in a democratic majority in that
State little if any short of that given

The legislative day of Tuesday
October 17, will be a long one. From
that day the Senate for the purpose
of lessening fillibustering lias taken
a recess every afternoon, instead of
adjourning, so that the legislative
day of Tuesday is still going on iu
the Senate and will probably contin*
ue until the elver compromise is fi
nally disposed of.
Note—Later news from Washing
ton bring? the intelligence that the
compromise failed aud silver Sena
tors will make no further resistance
to unconditional repeal.
There were two good things ahout
the late compromise. The first was
the fact that it was a compromise.
Second the provision for the issue of
bonds was omitted.

ent rules of the Senate, and approv
ed by Secretary Carlisle as President
Cleveland’s official representative,
provides for the repeal of the pur
chasing clause of the Sherman law
to take effect October 1, 1894; for the
coinage from time to time of the sil
ver purchased and of the seigniorage
la the Treasury and that to be no*
cumulated by future purchases, and
for retiring all greenbacks and Treas
ury notes below $10 and the issuing
of silver dollars or silver certificates
in place of them. It was at first pro
posed to include authority for the
issuing of low interest bonds to res
plenish the gold reserve at the dis
cretion of the Secretary of the Treas*
ury, but some democrats Senators
were so much opposed to this that
Secretary Carlisle suggested that if
the purchase of silyer was not con
tinued for more than a year longer
he thought the bond issue would be
unnecessary, so the bond issue was
left out.
It is hoped and expected that this
compromise will be put through both
Senate and House this week and an
end be put to the uncertainty. If
it is not it will not be the fault of the
democrats. The republican Sena
tors have given no indication of how
they regard the compromise, al
though before it was agreed upon a
number of them stated that they
i would support no compromise that,
did uot include the issue of bonds.
The populist Senators do not like
the compromise even a tittle bit, but

licans they can do no harm. If the

In the United States senate the old

Justin Morrill, the dean in point of
years if not in service, was born in
Strafford, Vt., in 1810. He is eighty
time years old. John M. Palmer, of
Illinois, who was teaching school in
that state twenty years before gold
was discovered in California, is sev
enty-six. Senator Pugh, Of Alabama,
is 73. and Senator Isham Harris, who
was governor of Tennessee iu 1857,
and fought on the Confederate side
in the war, is 75. Senator Hunton,
of Virginia, is 71, and so, nearly, is

army, is 69. Gordon, a major general
in the same service, is 61. Voorhees,
of Indiana, is 66. Allison, of Iowa, is
64; his colleague, WiUoD, is05. Peffer,
of Kansas, is 62, but his long whiskers
exaggerate his years. Culiom, of Illi
nois, is 65; Frye, of Maine, is 62; Geo.
Frisbie Hour, of Massachusetts, is 67.
He went to congress for the first time
in 1869. Stockbridge, of Michigan,

Here he was born on bis father’s

Lumpkin. Here he received from
our people his first honors. From
this county he was sent to the state
senate when only 26 years old, and
from this county he went to the Con

of his life, including the war period,
were given to this county; and al
though the ministry has carried him
over the state^lie ha* always retained

uniformly successful in everything he
has undertaken, and his yaried train

trust. His native county is gratified
by the almost unanimous approval
by the press and people of bis fitness
for tiie high position, ami his old
county people know that tiie inter
ests of all sections of the state will be
safe iu his bauds. He will zealously
promote the welfare and guard the
interests of every citizen of his native

A few years ago—three, I think—
Mr. Daniel Frcluuan, manager of
tfie Lyceum Theatre, endeavored to
induce his lady* patrons to remove
their hats duringthe performances. A
few willir;g[and sensible persons com
plied with the request, but they were
made so conspicuous, aud were the
subject of so much remark, that not
more than two or three continued the
humanitarian habit. Butsee how true
it is that “a little leaventh the whole
lump.” Now, ladies who wear large
hats to auy of our Metropolitau
places of amusement, are reasonably
sure to take them off, and this was
brought abont by education.

Isn’t hot bread liot, whether it is
raised by compressed yeast or by
saieratus? And if it is the heat that
hurts the digestion, what difference
does it make how the bread is made,

The woman who asked the above
question evidently knows very little
of chemistry, and is also deficient in
observation and logic.
Hot biscuits are no more harmful
than anything else hot, provided
they are properly made and baked.
But if they are made of slackly-
baked dough, they are destructive,

Tho superiority of raised bread
over acid and alkali bread lies in the
fact that the former contains no ir
ritating substance, and the latter
