A FARCE CONTINUED. !

CONGRESS KILLING TIME BY SENSELESS DISCUSSIONS. IVIiilc Kusines-s Is Paralyzed llankmptcy and Iviiiri Staring the Country in the Face, Vet lielief ".Vilich Could HeOivciiCrimiiially Withheld. Wast tiii; Precious Time. J. II. Turner, writing from Washington in the Chicago Express, says: The indifference ami stupidity of Congress I at this lime vcrv forcible reminds one ; of the time when Xero iiddlcd and danced while Koine burned. This i.s especially true of the Senate, which is still discussing the Nicaragua ('anal bill. How ridiculous it is for those men to spend days, and oven weeks, dis cussing a bill which, if enacted into law at this time, would vield no benefit i i. whatever to the present generation, j lor no one imagines for a moment that this proposed car.al could possibly be completed and in operation Inside of twenty-live or thirty years, yet these legislators are absolutely wasting the precious time that belongs to the present generation, while bti.-iness is paralyzed, and bankruptcy and ruin is staring the count! y in the face. When we contemplate the millions who are tramping our highways, and the untold suffering of their families, it appears almost criminal, and very close akin to treason, to see the rights and liberties of th" people tampered with in any such way. wlem relief is in their hands and could be so easily applied. How long this long winded, discussion of this canal bill will continue in the Senate no one seems t have the least idea at this time. The debate for the last few days lias developed some very interesting speeches. l?ourke Cochran entertained the House for more than an hour and n half wi;h one of his sky-sera ting, high-soaring, senseless speeches, in which h made it very plain that he was the willing tool of the gold trust. He Is in favor of issuing bonds to fund the greenbacks ami treasury notes, and turn the government over to the tender mercies of the national banks. He also took the position that we have too much money instead of too little, and the remedy he proposes for present conditions is free trade, less money ami l etter money. Last Monday the Democrats concluded i hat they had better have a caucus and see where they were at. So the caucus was held, with 1I' Democrats present. Speaker Crisp o fife red the following resolution, which was adopted by a vote of SI to ."!: 'Iieyolvod, That it is the sense of this ill caucus that the Carlisle currency bill should be passed Ivy the House of Representatives, substantially as presented ill tin? substitute which has been printed in the record, and which will be offered at the proper time by the chairman of the committee on banking and currency, and that the committee on j mles be requested to report an order i tomorrow, immediately after the read-' iifir of tili Journal, which shall pro-j vide for its consideration for one day for general debate, and thereafter undor the live-minute rule, and final vote lhere'i at the earliest time practicable during this v.vek." Mr. Ciisp knows very well that he is tot representing the best interests of his constituents, four-lift lis of whom are farmers, in supporting this bank scheme, which is equivalent to opposing tho free coinage of silver. He further knows that the people of his district would repudiate him too quick should he oppose free coinage with an open hand. His lingering at the pie' counter has undoubtedly done its work. Mr. llland of Missouri immediately tfok the door and opposed Crisp's resolution. He characterized the Carlisle hill as a repudiation of the time-honored principles of the Democratic parly from the days of Jefferson, llenton ami 4thers of the great leaders, down to the present time. He stated with great emphasis that ho would never support any measure which extended the power of the national banks. He was willing to go back to the Democratic doctrine of coming lxth gold and silver, ami abolishing the 1') per cent, tax on State hank, but he was unwilling to accept the dictation of the secretary of the treasury in this matter. Afier the caucus Congressman Sibley of Pennsylvania made one of his characteristic patriotic telling speeches, in vhich he handled the president without gloves. He described the president as a combination of "brain, belly and brass" without being called to order. He .said the mouths; of members had been padlocked by promises of patronage, ajid when pressed by Mr. Outhwaite to tell who put a padlock upon Ms lips, said: "Let me tell tho gentleman that I am talking to-day to men who believe in going to hell in :i handcart instead of to heaven sujh ported by truth. Let me tell him also that I am not addressing men who believe more in a bobtail Hush than a contrite heart." So this farce goes on while the people wait and suffer. How long will the people stmd it? While Justice Weeps. Francis Lester tells of a Polish lad of twelve years, "who was scut to the (.'Idea go l.rideweil thirty days for stealing coal. He admitted Lis crime und could talk enough Fnglish to say that he stole coal. He served out his time and then he tramiod home to his widowed mother. And she was dead. He had stolen coal to warm her as she hy dying. Mrs. Lena .Tohnron. of St. Paul, Minnesota, was arrested and thrown Into jail for Mealing in order to keep her four children from starving to death. A wealthy New York girl. Miss Sufferin, was arrested for shoplifting. Forty dollars' worth of stolen goods were found In her possession, mostly Jewelry and trinkets, concealed In Ler fur

F od.Thus wc see that in their conspiracy to promote bank control of the currency the banks are even ready to proclaim a treasonable assault upon the credit of the nation. All these flings, we cheerily believe. are rapidly ferving to open the eyes of j the American people to villainous moj lives and practices of the plutocratic ' conspirators who are to-day employing I the power of the press and politicians I to clinch their control over the property ami government oi the country. i- armors' Tribune. Citt Your Kycn Opptutt. When they tell you that nionoy cannot be mad" of paper, ask them if, during and after the war, when gold and silver were in circulation, if the people Lad no money. Ask them if the billions ami billions of business transactions during those years wen? transacted without money. Ask them if goods wen not exchanged with greater ease than now. when we have the .sacred gold money. Ask them if the fanner didn't exchange his crops for the things he needed more readily than he can today. Ask them if the man who labored oil the farm did not get the productsof the farmer, by the use of the worthless paper, even more readily than today. Ask them if the relative prices of things exchanged did not bear the same relations then as now if paper was not money are the debts paid in that stuff still unpaid? Is a cow worth more wheat because gold instead of paper Is used to make the exchange? Was the late war carried on without money because no gold and silver coins were received and paid out in the transactions? Do the silver pieces used as change to-day any better perform the uses of money than the paper fractional currency of war days? When you get a dollar in paper for a day's work, and buy three pounds of coffee with it, Mould you get more coffee if you gave a silver or a gold dollar? And if the paper would not buy as much as during the war did not the laborer get more dollars? I f three pounds of coffee is worth a day's work, does it make any difference whether It Is paid for by two dollars or ten cents? (let your eyes open and see what horrors have been brought on the people by bankers monkeying with our money laws. J. A. Way la ml. Iuucocl ly the IVckh. The Kansas City Star says: "The foreign trade reports of the United States for the eleven expired lnontns of ISiU show that tho exports of merchandise and gold amounted to ;,ooo, km) more than the value of all commodities brought In from abroad. The December returns will make the entire year's excess of exports over Imports more than ::ro,Ooo,MM." And the same thing has been going on for Hi years. This Is the tribute American Ignorance Is paying to P.ritish capitalistic cunning. I a tlirm, and can prove It boj-ond any shadow of a doubt, by the United States reiwrts, that Ilrltlsh or any other foreign people never paid for or Invested forcigu capital in any national, State,

(loM e.ie.l Silver Tlininj;. The decline in silver riining in the United States during the past year has been great, but is hugely compensated by an increased activity in gold mining. The production of silver during the year 1SP4 fe-1 oil" over eight million ounces in Colorado from the production in ls;;:, which was a decline of over ."0 per cent., while the product of gold in the same State was nearly doubled, the output for IS'M being r.i.(HH ounces, while for lsi: the amount was only "Chooo. In California there was a slight gain in the product of silver, while the increase of gold was :?J.ooo ounces, the total output for 1SP1 in the State being ClU.ooo. South Dakota in 1'..'! only produced Utl.utiO ounces of gold, which was mere than doubled in 18P-J, the amount reaching 4b".,ont) ounces, while the product of silver was almost tike same as the previous year. In Montana the output of gld was'J17,n0 ounces, an Increase of 4.",iH over the amount in 1S1:. while the silver product decreased nearly one-half in the same period, being Id.'.HH'i.ooo in ISSW and only S..VJ7.MH in 1SP4. In Idaho the gold product in 1S! was 7!Uoo ounces ami increased to N7,otM hi ist I. These live States produced last year ,SL' per cent, of the gold mined in the United Stales, the entire gold product of the country amounting to $JS.Knuxk as compared with $:M.(.do.ooo in lsp;:. while the silver product has declined from about if::r.. nki.inmi in IX:; to only JflM.tMMUHM) in 1SP1. The loss in amount of silver mined has been more than offset by the Increase in gold mining, so that the aggregate gain is over 00,Mo above the product in isp.5. Ilroono, or (ititis.

When the town äe becomes, organized as a inuniclpa'.iiy and proper proof is furnished to the department, a patent will be issued t.i the town for the remaining tin acres, to be maintained for public purposes. The Interior Department has called for bids to be open,.;1, February IS for furnishing a sheet metal ceiling and new copper roof for the Pension Ihuvau Building. T'.e present appropriation is $l2S,0O0. but Congress h: been nsj;cd for on additional appropriation.

It is charged that tho lands embraced were non-mineral and that the entry was fraud ulent.

Ex-Ranker T. R. Rurlingnnie, who was brought to SpringliilJ, Mo., from Oklahoma to answer to three new indictments for grand larceny, was put in jail, being unable to give bonds.

The leaves on the trees are sere and yellow. An orange grove can easily be picked out from a long distance. The live oaks, palmetto. cabbage, palm and ether such trees do not seem to have been affected. As they generally surround more er less the orange groves, the yellow leaves of the latter, in comparison with the green of the others, make a striking contrast. In many id' these groves few oranges had been pickt d. In others nearly all. Th" total crop was estimated by experts at 0MsO,(00 boxes, half of which had been gathered before the frost. The average price of thee oranges to the consumers was 2 a box. This would make a loss of $0.0K.OOO on lh" !. KtO.Ot I,xes that have been spoiled by the frost. One-half of this loss falls on the growers, the other half on the lealers and the transportation companies. I have met a number of growers who effcred to sell the fruit on the tti'cs at live cents a box. Rut they wire unable to sell oveii at that rate. The ö.(! 0.OOO loss on oranges is by no means all. The young trees' and mnny of the old ones h.nve been killed. How great the loss will be in this respect will not be known until spring. II. S. Kidney, an old resident of Waitland. says that he does not believe that more than one-third of the orange trees of the State will come out of the freeze alive. It will be possible to' save time, he thinks, by cutting them to the ground and letting them sprout from the roots. Ibit he expresses the belief that tho budded trees of tho liner varieties are killed to the ground. As to limes and lemons, he says that he does not believe that there are any live trees left. The pineapple plants ia the southern part of the State ?re also gone. Tomat. es and other vegetables which are raised in large quantities for the early Norther;! markets are also killed.

Samuel Cohen, 22, and Jacob Schölt key, Id, may die. One of the gas wells near Klwood, Intl., has ceased yielding gas ami is now Hewing oil at the rate of several barrels a day. Tho call for help from the distressed mining districts of Ohio continues and several ear loads of provisions and clothing are daily hurried forward. In a sawmill boiler explosion nt Kison. Ark.. J. T. Sunieron and Charles Valentine were killed. IM Valentin1, James McCuliough, and Will (tray will die. Chris Rogers was killed. Lewis Cash was fatally injured, and Mike McLaughlin was hurt by the falling of the false work of a bridge in course of construction over the Monongahela River at Homestead, Pa. R. O. Outealt. cashier of the late Capital National Rank, at Omaha, Kan., has been indicted by the United States grand jury for falsifying the books of the bank. In a sermon on the power of the daily press at Allegheny City the Rev. J. II. Craig said: "Malign it, criticise it, teat it to pieces as you may, it is a Oibraltar of power in our national domain." At a ghost dance Wing given by it party of Pawnee Indians on their reservation northeast of Guthrie, Ok., the mother of Chief Siotted Horse went too near the fire, llor clothes were ignited and she was burned to death.
