The pestilence that awaketh in
Time was when (od
punished his people for their idola
try by the sword and by famine and
pestilence. Idolatry was the chief
sin' of the nations the one most ab
hored by the Almighty the viola
tion of the first commandment. "I
an.-the--r.ord thy God," and for this
he sent iipon them the most terrible
of all afflictions. The prophet said
unto the Jews, "Because of this, one-
third of thee shall die by the sword
one-third by pestilance, and one-
third I will scatter to the winds."
That prophecy was literally fulfilled.
It seems to me that a man could
risk anything with less danger than
infidelity or atheism. ..'-that, is the
unpardonable sin for which the Jews
suffered such awful curses. They
do not suffer for it now for in the
whole race is not to
be found an in
fidel. They believe in God. ,
But the world is getting better.
Wherever there is a Christian civili-

not in the great masses of the people,
but in the great money institutions
that were locking1 up the currency ol

A resolution was olTered. by Mr.

was also the bill introduced by Mr.'
Ic--or for the reduction of the salaries
of all government employes from 81.
OUO upwards by 15, and 20 per cent.
Mr. Voorhees, chairman of the
finance committee, addressed the sen
ate in advocacy of the bill reported by
him last Friday, discontinuing the pur
chase, of silver bullion.
Arr.rsr :.'3. The debate was opened
in the house by C. W. Stone, of Pen
sylvania, who spoke' for. repeal and ad
jured the members to disregard par
tisan feeling - iu dealing with the sub
ject. ... ;
Mr. Covert, of Xew York, pleaded
for unconditional repeal," and compar
ing silver to a faithful servant fallen
into bad habits, held that nothing
would suffice to restore it but the gold
cure.
Mr. Fitch, of New 'York, followed in
the same line.
Dalzell contended for the' repeal of
the purchasing act and ascribed all
difficulties of the present situation to
democratic hostility to the tariff.
Mr. Hatch, in speaking in favor of
free coinage, advocated a caucus of
democrats of the house and senate to
interpret the Chicago platform every
man of whom would pledge "his life,
fortune and his sacred honor" to abide
by the decision.
Among the -bill, introduced in the
senate this morning was one by Mr.
Pasco, as a substitute for the minority
bill of the finance committee (propos
ing silver coinage at SO to 1). The sub
stitute proposes a commission of three
citizens of the United States to ascer
tain and report before January, 1894,
the intrinsic relative value of gold
and silver, and that on that report the
secretary of the treasury shall fix and
determine the ratio.

quiring of the secretary of the treasury
as to the conduct of national banks in
refusing to pay promptly in currency
checks-of depositors, was then taken
aP
and a motion to refer it-to the
finance coinmittee made by Mr. Hoar.
Tf Vnm-liees favored adoration of
the resolution and said it would not '
be buried in the committee.
Mr, tlorman pointed out that the
adoption of the resolution would be a
notice to the comptroller of currency,
who woidd immediately proceed to ex
ecute the law, and thereby necesitate
the closing of banks and cause the
nttcr ruin of the country.
' M r. Hoar called for the regular order
and the resolution went to the bottom
of the calendar.

Mr. Soiners, of Wisconsin, favored bi
me tali sin, but would not vote for un
conditional repeal.
Mr. Johnson, of North Dakota, spokt
for silver.
Mr. IMckler, of South Dakota, asked
unanimous consent to change the vot
ing1 order s.o as to take a vote Monday
on the amendment confining free coin
age to the American product.
; This was objected to by Mr. Wilsoni
in charge of the , administration bill.
Mr. Pickler then tried, to arrange for a
vote on the American product free
coinage proposition after the -Wilson
bill had been passed, but again objec
tion was made, lie then proceeded to
criticise President Cleveland as being
under Enylisli influence.
Lucas, of South Dakota, and Mr.

coinage, the latter intimating that his
people would not remafn-protectionists
if the party failed to observe the bi
metalic plank.
Mr. llarthold, of Missouri, declared
for repeal and the extension of bank
circulation.
Mr. Ding-ley, of Maine, advocated
the repeal of the purchasing clause.
He had voted for the Shermau bill only
.because it contained restrictions that
would postpone the evil day. "
; August 25. Nothing sensational
transpired in the house today. Aside
from the speeches delivered by Jlr.
Hurrows and Mr. Springer, there was
none that commanded the attention of
the members; and, indeed, these two
speeches were not listened to with the
interest they deserved. Today was a
day of calm -a precursor of the storm
that will come tomorrow. A large
number of members addressed the
house, but for the greater part they
wasted their eloquence on empty
i benches.
The silver debate was begun prompt-!
ly by Mr. Pendleton, democrat, of Tex
as, who expressed his intention to vote
for the free coinage of silver at any
ratio that had been suggested, but at
the same time he held the purchasing
clause of the Sherman . act responsi
ble for the present hard times. :
Others who spoke were Mr. Uowers,
republican; of California, for free sil
ver; Mr. Piggott,.. democrat, of Connec
ticut, spoke in favor of repeal; Mr,
Dockery,.' democrat, of Missouri, for
free coinage; Mru Cobb, democrat, of
Alabama! for free coinage; Mr. Marsh,
republican, of Illinois; Mr. Joseph,
democrat, of New Mexico; Mr. Mooney,
democrat, of Mississippi, all in favor of
free coinage. .
The announcement that Mr. Hill was
to speak today once more made the
senate the focus of public interest.
He spoke for something over two
hours, reading from a printed manu
script. There was accorded him the strictest
attention from the start to the finish.
Since his sensational support of Mr.
Peffer's resblutjon there has been
considerable curiosity as to his real
position
This he today dispelled. He de
clared himself to be on the democratic
platform and in favor of unconditional
repeal. The pledge to bimetalism was
more than empty words. Now was
not the time for experimental legisla
tion or the discussion of ratios. ; v
The senate, he predicted, would re
peal the Sherman act as soon as possi
ble. There would be no filibustering.
He said congress should adjourn a
soon as the repeal was enacted.

under the hour rule, was opened by
Mr. Clark, of Alabama, in favor of sil
ver at 16 to 1.
Mr. Keed, of Maine, spoke for repeal
and argued that Democratic tarifl
tinkering was what was hurting the
business of the country,
i The speech of the day was delivered
by Mr. Cockran, of New York.
He agreed with the gentleman from
Maine (Reed) that when the gavel of
the presiding officer descended on his
desk, on the 4th of March last, mem
bers of congress returned to their'
homes in a country blessed with univer
sal prosperity. In a period when
everything that ought to produce pros
perity existed here, the sky overhead
had been darkened. If the cause of the
disaster were sought, nothing could be
found, in the character of a providen-
' tial interposition io prevent the con-
prosperity. It was now the duty ol
congress not to seek partisan advan
tage, in this condition of things, but to
apply the remedy. He did not agree
with the gentleman from Maine that
such-recurring paiiics were insepara
ble from the progress of the human
race He did not join in the tone ol
levity in which the - political platform
of the democratic party , had been
treated. He believed that a declara
tion" of political faith was binding- on a
party, and he stood here today opposed
to the measure of free coinage; he
stood on, the democratic platform with
both his feet, while he who proposed
such an act was trying o push him
off. ' -'.-.:':- -'
