GEOROB M. GRAHAM, . Of Connoquenessmg twp The Repeal Bill in the Senate. The repeal bill will probably pass the Senate. There is hardly any doubt that a vote will be taken, and a majority of the Senators are known to favor repeal. The attitude of the minority of the Senate is perplexing and discouraging. It shows a distinct and extensive degradation. The Senato has been looked upon as a body of great dignity. It has been regarded by political philosophers, at home and abroad, as one of the finest legislative organizations in the world. It is evident, however, to observers of its present attitude that it is living on its traditions. Until recent years the rule of courtesy which required that every Senator should be heard as often as he desired to speak was not abused. The rule put Senators on their honors, and they were governed by their self-respect and their regard for the rights of their fellow- Senators. The Senators of the elder day did not resort to obstruction, because ob struction ought to be reserved as the re sort of a minority whoso rights are so threatened that they are ready to go to*thc verge of rebellion and revolution. Times hav« changed. The Senators who threaten to defeat the repeal bill by fili bustering are angrily protesting against what they call the oppression of the mild leadership of Mr. Voorhees, who simply asks them to fix a day when they will be ready to take a vote. Relying on tradi tional courtesy, they decline to permit the Senate to vote on the pending bill. They have asserted on the floor that, rather than permit a vote, they will put tho majority to the inconvenience and to thp danger to Jjealth and life of continuous and all-night sessions. The traditional courtesy of the Senate protected Mr. Stewart in a ruffianly attack on the President, which was an in sult to the country and degrading to the body by which the assault was tolerated. Apparently the absence of restraint no longer puts Senators on their honor. Onoe the rule illustrated the conscience and dignified self-respect of Senators; now it seems to furnish an opportunity for Sena tors to defy the majority and the desires and commands of the country. The history of the relations of the Sen ate to the bill does not end here. It is all a tale of petty politics that raises a serious question as to the constitution of the body. Tricks have been proposed with the elect ion bill; reprisals have been urged by the protected interests; bargains have been suggested by which the country's distress might be relieved for a price. All this goes to the character of the Senate, and the inquiry is raised as to its value—as to whether, after all, the system that places the small States on a level with the large States is not wrong; as to tho wisdom ot preserving the existing methods of electfng Senators. It is because the Senate appears to have fallen so low that repeal may be confident ly expected. The logical outcome of the position taken by the obstructionists has been stated on the floor by several Sen ators. It is that no vote can be taken ex cept by unanimous consent. The absurd ity and imbecility of this position is sure to dawn upon the minds of those whose words and conduct at present seem to indicate that they are reckless and blinded by fury. Senators are beginning to realize that the abuse of tho rule of courtesy must result either in making the Senate useless and hateful to the country or in the chang ing of the rule, the non-abuse of which here tofore has marked the Senate as the most dignified and independent legislative body in the world. This being so, it is inevit able that obstruction should cease in time and the bill pass. But, meauwhile, tha Senate's reputation has suffered serious damage, from which it may never recover. —Harper's Weekly. IMPORTANCE attaches to the recent decision of the State Supreme Court in the Bardsley case. The decision was that John Bardsley, the defaulter, was an officer of tne conuty of Philadelphia, and that consequently the county is responsible to the State for the amount of State money in Bardsley's hands aggregating several hundred thausand dollars. The decision will apply to a number of county officers who have got away with tax funds by speculation or embezzelment. Senator Quay For Repeal. Senator Quay has Hated his position on the silver question as follows: "I am not in favor of lree coinage of silver, and in this I believe I represent the judgment of a very large majority of the peoplo of Penn sylvania of both great parties. I will vote for the unconditional repeal of the purchas ing clause of the Sherman act, if a vote upon that naked proposition can be reached: will vote against any amendment and will vote against the Kepealing bill, if amended 80 as to include other financial legislation. The first duty of Congress, to my mind, is to get rid of the Sherman act, which all parties agree should bo repealed. After ward there will be time enough, during the present session, to matnre and enact fair and conservative legislation upon the currency. The Wilson bill would pass with little opposition did not the silver seuators apprehend that any subsequent legislation for the protection of silver would be vetoed. I favor an immediate vote, as do a majority of the Senate, but, if the minority are determined to resist, a vote cannot bo reached, except by violent methods. A cloture rule cannot bo adopt ed, because the discussion of the cloture also may be protracted an d its passage obstructed ad infmithm. Tho vote and procedure required to pass tho cloture would pass the repeal bill." TUK disaster along ihe gulf coast proved to have been without a parallel in the his tory of the South. Several islands wore swept by a wave of water fifteen feet high. One hand of grave diggers, buried 950 bodies, COL. SAMUEL M. JACKSON. Republican Candidate for State Treasurer. The Brazilian Revolution. i Like nearly all South American revolu tions, civil war in Brazil broke out over the struggle of two military chiefs tor the supreme power and the opportunities for personal profit which it offers in a South American republic. .The enormous terri tory of Brazil is no more empty of inhabi tants than its population of 14,000,000 is of political initiative. Out of this number not over 5,000,000 are white, and not a fifth of the white population takes any ac tive interest in affairs. A small army or navy is sufficient under these conditions to support a military des potism, or by their division to begin civil war. The precise issue, President Peiioto's determination to succeed himself in the election next March is of the smallest pos sible consequence. In Brazil, as in most South American republics, the navy draws its officers from a better class sortally than the army. The leaders of the two natu rally quarrel. President Peixoto, at the head of the army, imprisoned one of the naval chiefs, Admiral Wandeikolb. The other, Admiral Mello, had led a revolt. For a full month the navy has held the waters and the army the shores of the Bay of Rio. Neither has won a decisive ad vantage; but sea power, as usual in all history, has proved a weapon of more stay ing power than a force on land. Admiral Mello has been able to supply himself with coal by seizing the supplies of the Brazil ian Steamship Company. lie has provis ioned his fleet by the use of neutral flags which the forts respect, and he has cut off provisions from Rio by declaring a block ade. "Whether this is to prove effective appears still to depend the action of neutral warships. So far as the forts are concerned the fleet has been far less effective than had been anticipated of modern ordinances and iron clads. Rio Janero Bay is indifferently defended. The fortifications aro old-fash ioned, though some of the armament is new, and the defenses are of a character which it has hitherto been asserted modern guns would silence in a few hours. The 9- inch Armstrongs of the Aquidaban and the 10-inch Whitworths of the Javary have done nothing of the sort. The forts have remained tenable and the vessels, more or , less injured, have been forced to retire out of range. E7en the bombardment of Rio itself ap pears to have accomplished little. Some buildings have been destroyed, but far less damage has been done than was anticipat ed. Precisely the same thing was true of the bombardment of Charleston in our own war. For tbe present the bombardment of the city has been suspended. Thus far neither party has been able seriously to in ure the other, but the fleet is holding its own and by its grip on tho trade of Rio is wearing out its antagonist. Its one risk is in emptying its magazines. A THOROUGHBRED horse of tho best class can ran a mile in about ono minute and forty second#. The fastest bicycle rider can cover the distance in a little over two minutes. On a long distance ride, man has shown his superior endurance to the horse. An interesting bet was made last month in Germany, between a horse dealer and a farmer, as to the relative merits ol a horse and a bicycle rider in a 20-mile race. The horse dealer took the ground that no horse could compete with a first class bicyclist. A wager of 1,000 marks was made. The distance agreed upon was 35J kilometres, about 22 miles. The farmer rode his own horse, a thoroughbred hunter. The bicyclist won with ease, beating the horse fully three minutes. Several such races have been made in this country, and in distances of five, 10, 15 and 20 miles, the bicyclist almost invariably come out ahead. 700,000. Monday of this week was ''Cliieago Day'» at the World's Fair and the people of the city flocked to the grounds. The crowds at the gates were so vast that all the wag on gates were also opened; and by even ing the estimated attendance was 725,000, which was nearly double that of any day at any other World's Fair or Exposition. Several persons lost their lives or were seri ously injured in the jam. The first event arranged by tho World's Fair £ommittee of the Chicago Common Council took place at 9 o'clock, and was more closely associated with Chicago's birth and early history than anything else on the program. The old Pottawattomie chief, Simon Pokagon, whose father, Leo pold, deeded the land upon which Chicago is built, had been induced to come from his home in Hartford, Mich., for Chicago Day, and stood beside the Columbia bell with uncovered head, in the the white man. and received the homage of famous people. At his side was Chief John Young, 60 years old, who canu- from the Pottawattomie reservation, near Niles, Mich., to tell the people of all nations that his father, who bore the same name, christ ened the World's Fair city Chicago, which literally iuterpeted, means "where the skunk dwells." These two old and feeble Pottawattomie chiefs were the idols of tho hour. Poka gon read a brief speech, but Chief Yonug had nothing to say. The grounds of the Terminal station could not be seen for the mass of people who filled it in front of the stand erected for the chorus of 2,000 voices,under the di rection of W. L. Tomlius, an orchestra, the United Exposition bands and the Eighth Cavalry Mexican Band, accompanied the chorus in a mighty melody, which aroused the people in front to a high pitch of patri otic enthusiasm. While the festival of song and instrumental music was in progress. Chicago's crack society cavalry troop, the Chicago Hussars, passed by on their line horses from the Midway Plaisance. Fairticw Items. May Wilson was home over Sunday from Grove City school, to see her friends. Flossie Scott is attending her graduat ing term at New Wilmington. Mrs. Fitzgerald is trying to sell their oil well and fixtures. On last Sunday while John Kay and family, Samuel Adams and family and Thomas Banks and his family were going to church robbers ram sacked each of their houses and took valuables from each, such as jewelry, etc. to the amount yet un known. and about sl2 from John Kay's. The robbers appear to be strangers in these parts. Crawford Kankin bought a cow at Mrs. Hohert Campbell's sale for s4l. A full bred Jersey. Everybody around hero l ave loaded up their guns and revolvers and are watching for robber*. Why Compromise is Impossible. Since India ha» suspended free coinage, the issue presented by the working of the Bland silver act of 1«78 and continued by the Sherman act in 1390 has ceased to be a question between bimetallism and mono metallism. It has become an issue between silver monometallism or gold monometallism. The country has to de cide, and it has to decide promptly, wheth er it v> ill keep a gold standard or descend to a silver standard. One or the other it mn. ..jve, and unless the Sherman act is repea'od a silver >taudard it will have and nothing can do more than defer the ap prove Lof a silver standard. Prevent such a standard this country cannot standing alone, though it may by selling bonds and running in debt in order to buy gold, keep silver and gold on a parity for a while longer. This cuts up compromise. The naked issue is a silver standard or a repeal. Com promise will mean a silver standard soon or Into. Gold will begin to leave the country. American securities will be sold abroad. The investing classes |here will begin to seek gold investments. The banks will prepare for the evil day by reduc ing their loans. The last estate of the land will be worse than the first, which began last Spring. This is inevitable. Fifteen years ago silver legislation was passed on the plea that Europe would help in maintaining silver on a parity with gold. Europe will n a* chairman of the « a)s and means,aud Uolman had been deposed by triumph iiit Kemneracy for a coined erate. "I declare ! ere now on my own respon sibiliiv as a rtfpr*s«sii»iiv« th.it no more mischievous doctrines, n.> more deadl}' blow at our institutions, at the essence of oar nationality of our country can be dealt than by the denial of the right of this im perial government to cross the borders of a sovereign state." [Republican applause.] "If such doctrines are to prevail, then the cause for which I and 2,000,000 of my northern countrymen fought when the re bellion was put down, was not victorious. [Renewed Applause.] "I want you to understand," he continu ed, "that when yon rely on the dough-faces of Massachusetts and the ballot-box stuf fers of Tammany hull you are leaning on a broken reed.'' [Applause.] The house was listening eagerly. Sud denly Mr. Springer took exception against applying the epithet "dough-faoe to a member of the house. "It is an epithet," returned Mr. Boutelle defiantly, "which can be applied with equal force as well to the gentlemen as the gentlemen from Massacliussetts. The house held its breath. Mr. Spring er's face grew white with rage. "Do I understand you to say that you applied the epithet to me he shouted. "Y'ou understood it as "well as you are eapable of understanding anythiue," re torted Boutelle. "I want you to know sir," replied Mr. Springer, striding toward his adversary with fire in his eye, "that you dare not ap ply such aa epithet to ine." "Mr. Speaker, the gentleman from Illi nois can't be impertinent to me under the guise ot a point of order," returned Mr. Bontello. "But I withdraw the epithet," he continued, moving his arms magnaminous ly in Mr. Springer's diiection, "in order that I may go on with my speech. I deny, homevor, that it was unparliamentary. The aUcmpt*to mako it so is as silly as was the attempt in the last coDgress to take ex ojption to the w<#rd mugwump." Mr. Springer was evidently lar from sat jsSed with the bout, but be seated himself and Mr. Boutello read the extract from the law. Mr. Marshall of Virginia secured tire minutes in which to reply to the firey utter ances ol Mr. Boutclle. He appealed to Republicans not lo be oonstantly remind ing the South that it had engaged in an unholy rebellion. Mr. Payne of New York, who opposed the bill, said that the reports in the news papers were preventing the ginning ot cot ton in the southern states. It was, he said, but a result of methods which the South had adopted regarding tie ballot. He de tailed at great length the theft of the sen ate of New York by the Democrats in 1890 and the part taken by .Tudg.) I. H. May nard, who was nominated for supreme judge by the.New York Democrats last Fri day. "Why do you demand honest elec tions," he asked, addressing the Democrat ic side, "when you nominate for the high est judicial position of the Empire state a criminal." Mr. Fitch, of New York, chairman of the committee which reported the bill, closed the debate for the Democrats. He scored John I. Davenport, witdout re straint. In conclusion he denied that the question of rights or the interpretation of the Constitution were involved in this re peal. Washington Notes. On Friday last it was announced that the test of a continuous session would be made Wednesday of this week, in the Sen ate. On Tuesday the House passed the Elec tions Repeal bill by a party vote, and hur ried it over to the Senate. Wednesday the contiunons session began in the Senate. The first nigfct set hard on the venerable senators, but towards day light both sides were standing firm. COMMENTING on the Edison plan of mak ing dollars out of bushels of wheat an ex change says: This is a good idea, for, as Edison says, such.a dollar would not only represent actual value, but when you got hungry "you could eat your dollar, for when you wanted to use the wheat,all that would be neccessary would be to put your money to soak." Any man who doesn't even know an ohm from a volt or a dy namo from a donkey will appreciate the value of Mr. Edison's suggestion when he reflects on the possible expansion of it. If sound dollars can be made of wheat there is no good reason why eagles and half eagles should not be minted lrom Indian oorn, nor why our subsidiary currency should not be extracted from cereals of less importance, like barley or buckwheat. How nice it would be if the careful house wife could put a quarter-dollar in soak at night and wake up in the morning to find it expanded into the raw material for an abundant supply of luscious griddle-cakes! And what a pity it is that Mr. Edison didn't exploit his ingenious notion a little sooner, so as to head off the asinine pro position of Mr. Wharton Barker for the coinage of old-fashioned noncomestible I silver dollars. A Touching Tribute to Medical Heroism. Tho following touching tribute to medi cil heroism is from the Xew York .SMN. The Sun is always just to the medical pro fession, and in this instance speaks, as it has often done before, from its heart: "One of the first victims of the yellow fever at Brunswick last month was a practising physician, who caught the infection from a patient upon who he was attending. On Sunday last, one of the physicians of the Xew York Hospital, Dr. Walter Yought, died of typhoid fever, the infection of which bad been cummunicated to him by a child in the hospital. Again.a few days ago two young doctors of this city caught the small pox from a patient who was alSicted with it. There are always risks for doc tors in attendance upon patients suffering from contagious or infectious maladies. Tet they are always ready to brave the danger, without flinching, in the interest of humanity. Honor to our noble army of doctors! Hundreds of them volunteered for service here last autumn, when this city was threatened with cholera. We do not know how many of them have sent word to Surgeon Genera! Wyman that they stand ready to go to Brunswick, or to any part of the South in which the yellow fever may break out. Whatever be the risks from any disease, the medical faculty is ever willingly to confront them. Long live the doctors! We have sent American doc tors to the cholera-infected ports of Europe and several of them have done splendid work this year. If a hundred of them had been needed, we have no doubt that a thousand of them would have offered their services. Heroes are the doctors. They will enter the pesthouse without shrinking attend to every case in it, and do all that can be done to relieve the sufferers. Bles sed be the doctors ! They are men of sci ence, men of skill, men of earnest purpose, men of sympathetic disposition. They are devoted to their duties. Dr. Walter Vought, who died of typhoid fever last Sunday in the Xew York Hospital, of which he was house physician, was a man oftaler.t, and still in his early prime. He took charge of the quarantine station at Fire Island last year during the 'cholera scare;' he had rendered service in the Vau derbilt clinic; he died in a hospital. Though he had but just turned thirty years of age. he was the author of works upon malaria fevers, the cholera and other diseases; he had already won a name in the profession. We knew him personally,and we can testify that he was a high-minded gentleman: 'There's rosemary, that's for re membrance; and there is pansies, that's for thoughts.'" ON Saturday last, the yacht "Vigilant" owned by Xew Yorkers beat the yacht "Valkyrie''owned by an Englishman over a thirty mile straight course; and again on Monday over a triangular course of the same length. Three more races are to be run before the contest is decided. The racing is for the "America cup'' won by our yacht "America" from the English in a race around the Isle of Wight, about forty years ago, and held by us ever since. Silver Wedding of G. F Eeasley, Esq. and Wife. October 4th was a red letter day for G. F. Easley and wife, being their silver wed ding. Showers in the morninjr cast a damper on the face of nature, but notwith standing the gloom, the friends and neigh bors began to assemble at an early hour,and by noon the crowd numbered over a hundred The tables fairly groaned with the good things of tbis life. Afterthe feast an organ ization was effected by electing Capt, C. B. Gillespie, chairman of the meeting an.i W. J. Houston, secretary. Chairman Gillespie made the opening speech in which he con gratulated the bride and groom upon their silver wedding, that they had been bless ed with a faithiul and happy lot, and were surrounded by all the comlorts of this life as well as by a dozen alive branches, and wishing that they may live to celebrate the diamond wedding. Air. W. G. Russell, of Butler, followed, recalling mauuers and customs of a quarter of a century ago when Mr. and Mrs. Easley plighted their troth,ot the "quilting bees" and "flaxscotchings" and other social gatherings of ye olden time, and other pleasant features of the long ago. A letter from A. D. "Weir and wife who could not be present was read by G. W. Cramer. G. W. Cramer spoke in substance as fol lows: Ladies and gentlemen. I would rather sit and listen to the congratula tions, good wishes and words of love and kindness toward our host and his wife from those that I know are much more able and better prepared than I; but I would be un true to myself if I did not add my testimo ny and regards with the rest. It has been my great privilege for more than fifteen years to be near neighbor and friend of the brido aud groom of the day. I speak of what I know when I bear testimony to tho kind and neighborly regardo to their friends. It is with a heart overflowing with good wishes towards these good peo ple. I can well remember some of the dark and gloomy days that come to us all kind encouragement aud pleasant words ot 'Squire Easley stands out clear in my memory, and it is my earnest prayer that this bright, memorable day shall not be tho brightest, the best,but that all of their days (and may they be many) be brighter and better, and pray that peace and pros perity attend their footsteps as they hav ing crossed the mountain and now walk hand in hand down the path of life to that reward that we all await." Speeches were also made by M. X. Greer of Sarversville,and W. J. Houston, ofMon roeville, after which the gifts were present ed to the happy couple by Mr. Russell on behalf of the Iriends and neighbors. M. X. Greer responding on behalf of the recip ients, who called on tho 'Squire to help him out. Among the presents Mr. Easley found the following which speaks for itself: Sarversville, I'a., Oct. 4, 18lKt, G. F. EASLEY, Esy., My aim is to reform you. Therefore my gift is a years subscription to the X. X. Weekly Tribune. I am satisfied that if you read it one year you will be a "Pro tectionist," if not a Republican. But my dear friend regardless ol any difference of opinion you and I may have, I sincerely hope for you and yours many happy re turns of your marriage and anniversary. Very Truly Yours, M. N. Greer.

"I have discovered the greatest fly j trap on earth and I want to show it to t yon." He led the way to an instrument I at the rear of the store on which was a I newspaper. On the paper had been placed a bunch of sweet peas. At least a thous and dead flies were lying on the paper in the immediate vicinity of the bunch t>l flowers. "I threw these here by chance," "and in about ten minutes I happened to | notice that every fly that alighted on the flowers died in a very Rhorftime." Even as he spoke a number of the insects which bad stopped to suck the deadly sweet toppled over dead.
