He thinks that the aathority will never need to be exercised, because the mere fact that it exists will give stability and inspire confidence throughout the world in our finances. The Renator says there is no connection between this amendment and the Silver ques tion, notwithstanding the efforts made by some to make it thus appear. The amendinent, already adopted by the - Benate, will, it is believed, get througls the house unless the opposition shall conclude to talk it to death, The Benate voted down the house amendment to the Bundry Civil Ap- propriation bill prohibiting the pay- ment of expenses incurred for warrants | Congress. This matter will come up again when the bill gets in conference, {butit is not believed that the demo- {erats will be inclined to fight very stubbornly for the restoration amendment, because they believe to a {man that the whole system of federal supervision of elections will be wiped { out by the next Congress, will be no Pension reform at The only result of the discussion was some bad lan- | and attempt to exchange blows by two members on the we House, There this | Pension session, guage an pe i CORBURN { A Little Child of Samuel Ulrich Buacket of Sealdiog Water Well here wo » hut tt 1s after a have are again time we come Lo stay aw hile, F A. 23. i i Sunday, Campbell was at home over| and remained to help hold | Tuesday. is rumored that there the he els ction on it 3.3 wedding in be Near will r midst in ture, on piled now, that many are The elect Tuesday was well attended on ace of the ondition of the roads in‘'many pl MOOS, Sunday night and roads full impassable.
