Scientists May Differ Ab to the causes of rheumatism, but there Is no difference of opinion among them as to the danger which attends it, the symptoms by which it manifests itself, and the difficulty of dislodging it in its chronic stage. Several mineral and vegetable poisons are prescribed for it, but none of these has been shown by experience to possess the same efficacy as Hostetter s Stomach Bitterg. This benign specific depurates the blood by promoting vigorous action of the kidneys, which strain from the blood as it passes through them the rheumatic virus when it exists in the system. Physicians of eminence testify to the value of the Bitters in rheumatism, and the professional opinions regarding it are borne out and corroborated by ample popular evidence. The Bitters remedy chills and fever, liver complaint, dyspepsia, : and constipation. In Mother’s Eyes. Pierre and Maurice are French chib I dren. Pierre is the elder brother. It never has occurred to him to be jealous ' of the last comer, Maurice, or to ba * troubled about “his nose being out cl joint.” He is very fond of his small brother, and seems to feel it his duty t> see that he is never neglected or forgotten. j One day he was looking lovingly in ! his mother’s face, when he happened to ! glance at her right eye, and to his de- 1 light he saw his imgge reflected in it. "O, there is Pierre!” he cried. Then he looked eagerly into the left eye, and exclaimed, in sorrow and surprise! “Why, where is Maurice?” A Great Outlay for Coffee.

Specimens of the Oratorical Outflow Mined from the Veins of the Congressional Kccord—Many Proposed Solutions of a Great Question. Debate in Congress. Silver-tongued orators in Congress have spoken for silver and against eili ver. Some have not spoken at all, i while still others, not silver-tongued. I have talked and have said nothing of i interest to the public. Many of the | speeches made during the two weeks’ debate have been of such length as to I be tiresome, and no paper except our ! esteemed contemporary, the Congressional Record, has cared to print those ■ speeches in full. Freni the column, of ; this more or less interesting journal we extract the following from the efforts of some of the prominent debaters: Senator Voorhees’ l*ian. • Senator Voorhees, of Indiana (Dem.): We are confronted by a law without precedent or parallel In American history; a law which for I months past had been the theme of all tongues and pens, and in whose name financial panic, alarm, and distress had been invoked, and for whose repeal this Congress has been convened. As a firm, unfaltering believer *Wai Usm, 1 voted ' lor its uneomln lonal reveal or whether a substitute must be agreed up n. 1 would at once eradicate this confessed evil from the body of our lawn with no other condition than my right and free agency to support and to secme, in connection with its repeal, or ft er ward by an independent measure, as the .success of its immediate repeal the primary duty of the hour —may at Lie time dictate, a sound financial system, embracing the coinage of silver on an equality with gold. In making this statciSent I only repeat the declaration I of the Chicago platform. The banks intensely I realize that the present supply of government bonds for banking purposes must be very largely increased within the next five years or they will be forced to commence v lading up । and retreating from the theater or action on which they have ho long appeared. 1 stand against the existence, the Increase or the per petuation of the national debt tor purposes of national banking and call upon the million, who constitute the great army of the laborers to take notice of this issue from this time on—an issue that will not down at any man's bidding. 1 do not expect the government ever to abandon a rational currency, though it would abandon the system of national banks The great value of State bank monev Is. and ought to be, mainly local. It will increase the home circulation and the home accommodation of every agricultural community on'American roll. In the meanwhile it should be the duty of the Federal Government to issue its own unassailable notes by retiring much of the present outstanding currency, and also by the payment of its debts, and to Issue I hem in amounts equal to the requirements of trade as nearly ascertained as p< ssible. Those wl.o live to witness the adoption of this policy will look upon the safest, strongest and most beneficial system of finance ever before known in American history. It has In it the elements with which to accomplish these paramount and Indispensable features ot nil sound financial legislation: 1. A sufficient volume of turrency at all times, State ami national, on practically a specie basis, guaranteed also by public honor, with which to transact the growing and expanding business developments of the country. 2. The absolute denial and destruction of all power in the hands of individuals, corpora- ; tlons or syndicates to cause fluctuations In i the amount of the different currencies in circulation. thus rendering panics and business distress impossible for the future. 3. Every dollar in circulation, whether gold or silver, State bank p iper or United States notes, ou a strict parity and interchangeable with every other doUnr. Gms wrcnf-lpf- AflM’R Rtnto currency and a national currency circulating tn harmony and uniformly ; crf<’nning all the functions of money nt home and abroad. 4. The settlement of the vexed qu- stlon of I sliver mom j- nt once ami forever by authoriz ! ing It to form its portion of the specie basin I required by the (’oust |-ut lon for mrycli.g tered bank in the I nion; by recognizing it \ when defining the powers of the stale to make legal tender money, thus making the use of i slivi r coined into money ns imperative n . it I was useful to the great body of the p< ople. t. The total and complete overthrow of the dangerous centralizi.tion of the money power now existing at a few money centers an I In the hands of a few individuals by giving to the people of the Slates the right ot home rule on the subject ot money, and thereby securing to them a reliable, uentluctuating home circulation. ii No Question of Sectionalism. Senator Hoar, of Massachusetts R<; ,1. Mr. President, any man or party in the Eastern I States who should desire to have the value or | the purchasing power of the dollar increased I in order that the value of debts, or that assured and permanent incomes might be increased. or in order that speculation in gold ! or in credits might be rem!eredmorepro:itable, would be hurled from power and burled in Infamy by the swift and righteous indignation of the whole people of thos, st.'t<> The j prosperity, tin power, th< rapid growth of the Northwest and f e South are as dear to the peo^e ot New Englund as their own. What they want, w hat they de- ; sire and strive tor, is not an appreciating standard of value, but an ur.changing st mdard of value, so far as the lot of immauity will ; admit. Appreciation mu I depreciation can be ascertained and provided for. Hut. to use the expressive phrase of Mr. Balfour, "mom y is I the record ot obligations extending over b ng periods of t line." And It Is an lniury.lt is destruction to any community which has risen in civilization above the pirate stage. | when that record is liable to urn "tointy or is I the subject of speculation or g>nblihg. If the people of the Northeast seem to the people of another part of the country to be contending for anything likely to bear hardly upon them, it is because they do not see or antici] ate such a result, ar.d not because they desire it or are indifferent to it. Ido not believe t hat any large number of the people of the Northwest desire the destruction of property. Impairment ofc 'dit or any injury whatever to the people of the Northwest. Their ambit ion is t o acquire property; their hope is in the establishment and maintenance of credit. They always ha e depended. and for a lomr time in the future must depend, for these things on a close alliance M>.i an i twehnnce of advantages with the people .•l.naroti tl.t-v nr ■ with tlin States whence th< \ came, umi nvuu c nm'itmA ties from whose institutions they have mod- I eled their own. and with whom in the great I ami glorious future they must live or bear no , life. Chief among the resources of the West is its alliance with a wealthy and prosperous i East. The wealth of the East must perish I but for its alliance with a wealthy and prosperous West. Locating the Responsibility. I Senator Cockrell, of Missouri (Dem.). Mr. President, I confess that the people have lost confidence; but in whom? in the financiers. ; the gold monometalists. who are undertaking {to fa-ten their iniquitous and oppressive and ! robber system upon the toiling millions of this I | country. Confidence has been lost in the banks that made this panic to order, who cut ' j ami hedged and rolled it in to suit themselves and then it escaped fr m their clutches and is i playing sad havoc with them ami with all the people of the United States. It passed beyond their control, and the people have lost conli- ■ i dence in them. What is the result? The peoI pie go to the banks to draw out the money | that is in the banks, and when they have : drawn out 10 or 15 per cent. of the liabilities of I the banks they have absorbed all the money In i the United States, and there is no money t hat | anybody els 6 can get for any purpose. There ; is not money enough in this country; as a matter of course there Is not; but the whole financial system that the distinguished financiers in the East have been building for years is based upon confidence, raith, nope, and charity. Destroy confidence, and the fabric falls. That is all there is about it. We have got just as much money in this count ry as we ever had. The people have confidence in every dollar we have ■ got, but they have no confidence in the men | who have misled them. Now, let the men who are complaining and whose actions produced ' this panic say to the people of this country, < “This monej r is all good; we are not solvent; we have misled you," and then they may restore confidence. Confidence in them Is all that is wanted; confidence for the people to take Lack to the banka and deposit there the

money and let it circulate: confidence that th, 1 people will take their money there anaief the banks pay somebody else, and ths® son deposit it. and then somebody else onn| pav it. You have got to keep the money off this country turning over almost daily or V o ®! will have a panic,. There is not money enough® in the country. I pointed it out here in 1391,1 and showed the statistics to prove that there! was only about 10 per cent, of the liabilities off the banks in cash. I then showed (anil I Hhall [ at some proper time read what I then saidk that the whole financial structure was based upon confidence, and that the moment you l destroyed that you had a collapse. 1 was? culled an inflationist then, a silver crank. * No Time for Contraction. Senator Wolcott, of Colorado (Rep.) When the papers yesterday and the day before announced that the banks were unable to furnish the farmers ot Indiana and Minnesota ond the Northwest with even the currency nuftlcicnt to move their grain, do you mean to tell us that confidence is to come back if you will only unconditionally repeal the Sherman act? Will it bring confidence back to the railroadfe, who sec diminishing earnings week aft er week,, earnings which will diminish in a st ill greater ratio in the mouths to come, with a povirtystrloken people unable to get their currency from the banks, and with the pries of their grain constantly decreasing? Is It to bring confidence back to them? Will it bring confidence to the millions of people In the fur Northwest, who have seen heir principal Industry stricken down by 9 existing condition of affairs, and whic. ine puHsago of this resolution would entirely obliterate? Will it bring them confidence? Those people. Mr. President, law-abiding and orderly, ask. under the protection ot the flag, to be permitted to earn their living and to curry on an industry which the law has recognized since tl e foumiaI tion of the republic. The .Senator fr< in Massachusetts tells us that wo want first unconditional rep al, and afterwards »ome„p.eyi\iy^ will be enacted for the rer.ipsay utmost bom- . You say. tqj.b'ivoi of iteU cabin gone and pov-j^ In tv IjjIMJU let uh <>”" yotbr foundation stone and obliterate all trace I of go or borne and the plui e of your h i bit utlon, in the (lino to conio. after wo have had conHiderat ton. we will binl<i , o<. « -tene-front house.” Now, Mr. President., confidence will not thus be brought back. A West Virginia Solntli n. Mr. Pendleton, of West Virginia (Dem.). I am satisfied that a rat io of 16 to 1. or a ratio of 17 to 1, will accomplish nothing,: s well a» a ratio of 20 to 1. But I uni satisfied, along with Grover Cleveland aud other good, honest, sterling Democrats, that the only whv In which we can accomplish that full, complete, mi l ample remonetization of silver is by an international agreement made with three or four of the leading commercial countries of the world. When that is done, and 1 believe it will ultimately be done, and at no distant date, then tile promisee ot the national platform of Chicago will be kept, the fnlthof Grover Cleveland wilt be malntutned. and the Democratic party will have fulfilled every financial pledge to the people of this country tor the future as well as the past, and 1 for one uni cont-nt to wait for that, expecting that we shall see the dawnlug of prosperity once more upon this beautiful land of ours. If we should fail In obtaining international agreement, I should then favor an issue of I Treasury notes redeemable < n de rand In gold. A gol I reserve in the 1 loasurv of f lio.cigf.ooo sustains r.uc.nio, hmi of Treasury notes mid fH7,i io.o o of silver certificates, and no holder of a Treasury note ever call :i for a dollar of that gold because the g overnment promises to pay in gold, and the creditor is satisfied with the promise. Thia is confidence. Issue flm’.'oo, l «'O of bonds for another *1' '.u' O'o of gold Put | the gold In the Treasure ns a re-erve On that Issue ? 'O.cxx'.t w in Tron-ury not es, the good old greenbacks, and send them into circulation from time to time as they are needed. Get them out among the people juntas the first $846.0<0.0i«) wore thrown Into circulation. Not a dollar of the new gold would I e called for as long an our faith wav pledged. We would know that we could get the gobi wb n we wanted it. < onfidence would be just the same, money would be plenty, and this great old land of ours would march onward in happiness, honor, and long-continued prosperity. ••I W ould Act.” Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts Jlep.L The Senator from Missouri Mr V< st yesterday said. In referring to the condition of the silver States, that If we were to have legislation to close the mills of N< w England every Senator from those States w ould be here ready to offer the most bitter re- lai ant e Mr. President. the mills of New England are closed now. There is no need of further legislation. At this moment, with the exception of two mills, there Is not a spindle tvrpitw in she Sts There Is only one mill going In the city of Lowell, and they employ over 20.<» o hnnda There arc over people out of < mployment at this moment tn < nly two of theclttcs of the i ommonweaith that I in part I repreai nt.

You were correct j when you said that the platform of the Demo- , cratlc party was a me re snare to catch votes, i You were right and we were w rong. You uu- ! derstood the situation and we did not." I’almer for Kepeal. Senator Palmer (Dem.), of Illinois, argued In support of the repeal bill. It could not fairly be asserted, he said, that the President did not favor the use of both gold and silver as the standard money of the country, nor did it follow that, because the President had failed tc say a word in reference to bimetallism in ills recent message to Congress, he woo*' disapprove of legislation provi ling for x -Inage of both metals t hat would be of equal exchangeable and intrinslo value. He expressed the, opinion that the great majority or the Amer- | । 'am MoV-i’,'",;”*!! ”! ’ 7’ v "pprobf l would i i establish and mail.t am t ' 'bi'n-'t ■.)!',’I 1 w-oul<i i , Chicago convention. I:e i»-l>ew<i that in tlie present state of the market ii was beyond the power of any finite mind to fix the ratio of silver to gold, because the market valueof silver was inastat of chronic fluctuation. The present ratio should be adh<red to, th • Sherman law repealed, and the use of silver coin encourage 1 bv judicious laws, and then the Influence of events upon the relative values of the metals might be calmly watched, with the hop? that by the use of effective means the country might at no distant day reach the point where both gold and silver could 1 e coined and used without discrimination between them. The Fifty-eight Cent Dollar. Mr. Cox, of Tennessee (Dem.). I have lis- : toned with a great deal of pleasure to the genI tieman’s argument. He has stated that the i silver dollar is worth to-day 51c. Mr. Harter, iof Ohio (Dem.) Fifty-eight cents. Mr. Cox. , Well, 58c. Now. the question is. do you know of any man in the United States who has sllI ver dollars that he will sell at that price, 58c? j Mr. Harter. Certainly not, under present conditions. But I know emy man who has a , silver dollar Mr. Cox. One moment, please. Does not the 58c silver dollar buy just as much of the products of this country as any other dollar? Mr. Harter. To that I answer yes. But that is not the point. That is the present condition under limited coinage, but you are proposing to change it. In further answer to my friend from Tennessee, whom I regard as an authority on his side of this subject, I say to him that while it is true to-day, the very morning that you have by your law established free coinage In this country, then It ceases to be true, and that every dollar in existence which is now held up to its full nominal value by our present law will sink to 58c, the bullion value, as soon as your law becomes operative.

I Take Courage, Colorado. BeAator Hoar, of Massachusetts (Rep.). I believe that if this country should be put on w hat is called a nil ver basis, and our home supply of coinage could be furnished by Colorado and the other silver States—l believe if the whole world could be put on a silver basis, and these silver States could furnish all the silver, It would be an unmlxed evil to them. No nation, uo State ever got permanent strength <>r prosjierity fr.nl its wealth of the precious metals. TLer.wilways has 1 een, and there always will be. an element of chance, not to say K^ndilmg, in that jirodnct. Spain and Mexico and Peru tell their own story. The true prosperlty of California began when the great profits of her yield of g .id ceas. d and other industrles app< are.d. I was specially gratified by the note of conr ige tn anutteranceattrib“VYu 0 110 w ' nior Senator from Colorado, in which lie told his people not to be downhearted they ceidd be a powerful State without silver. I am not sure that it would not have t>'«n better, both for Nevada and for the country, if there were not a mine within her uonlers I believe that the idle silver miners of c olorado wUi find some other employment then shedding blood, an ! some bettor leader than their present governor. 1 am told that tolorado produced tn l-.'2 fifty five millions I v.J 50 *-' B ^ xtv million* of farm products, thirty-iour miUioas' worth of cattle and that her manufactures w< n -eventv five millions, while her silver product »as about twentythree millions Two hundred aud twenty four millions of the products, the deman-1 for which no legislation can affect, is a pretty ' good showing for a State not vet twenty years old. <xf th" wealth she produces even now. her silver product Is not a tenth. The Evolution of Currency. Mr. Hendrix, of New Yor’. iDem.l. It is no new thing, sir. In the history of monev evolution for the more desirable currency to dominate.

Mr. ' ■ . you deceive yourselves ns to the temper of the people on this subject if v.m imagine that von 1 can pacify them bv shallow declamations ' about a dishonest dollar If the present silver dollar la not an honest one. the people are willing to make It so, according to any reasonable provision that can be proposed, and all thev ask ot yon today is an ojq • rt uultv to i fairly test the matter.

And break it to our hope.” The California Reason. Mr. Bowers, of California (Rep-1. I asked a ; min who was working for me. and who. as soon as he learned ot the nut on the banks, . rushed down to get his money, why he did it. | He did not w ant the money. He replied; “I , don’t know how It look* to you, Bowers, but to me it looks like corky time* ahead. I am ; afraid of Congress. If it knocks out silver, rt q s coining it, they have got money cornered sure.” And that is what has happened. And w hen you. gentlemen, ask why you can not get । m >uev to dobuHinesH. it 1* because it is cor- ] tiered. That is the ] lain English of ft. It was only necessary to send as» w millions out ot the country, lock up a few millions in bank ! vaults, the proper notices in the press, and the i stocking could be depended on to complete i the corner. England Is Financial Heaven. Mr. Hopkins, of Illinois (Rep.). I understand you to sav that the condition of England under its financial arrangements and ot the English people is better to-day than that of anv other country on the globe. Mr. Harter, of Ohio (Dem.): I did say so. Mr. Hopkins, of Illinois: Does the gentleman mean to say thr.t the condition of the laboring classes of Egeland is better than that of the laboring clifsea of America? Mr. Harter: I say that .fie! laboring man’s condition in Englan l to--1 1 'cv7n-, I , jmnueh better (owing to the ruin wrought I V 'this same silver question, however) as i, b -ill heaven is superior to a cot in j-urga^-A Massacbusetts Illustration. Jlr. Morse, of Massachusetts (Rep.). Some of the speeches that I have listened to on this floor on this subject make me think of the boy whose father was a clergyman, who was asked by another boy it his father ever preached any of his old sermons. "Oh. yes.” he said, “but he does not holler in the same place.” The arguments during this debate are the same old arguments which have often been refuted by abler tongues than mine. The only difference is that the speaker does not "holler" in the | same place. A Mormon Simile. Mr. Rawlins, of Utah (Dem.). Gentlemen say, “We do not want a dollar worth only fifty cents.” Well they have not any such dollar, and if we should have free coinage at any ratio which is mentioned here they will not have any such dollar. What do they mean by a dollar worth only fifty cents?” The cxpreselon is an absurdity upon its face. We might i as well say that the Almighty could create a 3-year-old bull in a minute. The artist Berghem married a thrifty scold, who insisted that he should work and work hard. His studio was just over the family room, and at frequent intervals during the day Frau Berghem would tap the ceiling with a pole she kept handy for that purpose, whereupon the patient arlist would pat the floor with his foot to satisfy her that he was not asleep.

COSTLY VIOLINS. The Remarkable Price of W l.aoo Paid f or an Antique Stradivarlus. A. Stradivarius violin was aoIH Jay St Puttu-k * ’£*, £BOO, that being the highest price yot ’X TVs “Ob 1« tboVuotC r< jm. This fact has caused some inquiry to be made into the rapid rise in tlie value of the violins of the great Cremona maker, whose workshop Edgar Bundy has so graphically deptetod in a painting in th® pvwcut, Royal Academy Exlubitlon. It seems that a fine “Strad” was sold in 1805 for £IOO, but by 1857, when the late James Coding’s collection was bro ightto the hammer at Christie's, a Stradivarlus viola fetched £2OO, and a violin by the same maker £212. In 18 2 a “Strad,” since rechristened by its fortunate owner “The Emperor,” realized £290 at the sale of the collection of Mr. Cui Hott, the penmaker, and it would pr.obably new not be parted with for four times that amount. The auction price of a “Strad” has since reached £B6O, and it is quite possible that before the present century is over the sum will pass into four figures, while the price at the fiddler fancier's is already a good deal higher. It seems that the increase of cost is due partly to tlie demand for old violins from the United States, partly to the wish of every violinist of note to possess at least oeo example of the famous maker. Dr. Joachim, for instance, has throe. Doubtless the bloated capitalist might step in and make a “corner” in these prized instruments \vere it not for the fact that to discriminate between a genuine “Strad” and an old c py requires enormous skill and experience, while few but experts can tell whether even a genuine Stradivarius has not at some remote time been fitted with a new head and thus half ruined from a commercial point of view, or has in some way been damaged and cleverly repaired.—London Daily News. Hams. Hams require very careful treatment in the kitchen, even when perfectly eur.-d. The most important thing is to get a go< d maker's ham. They should be neatly par. d, and cooked by slow degrees: if billed, they should only bo alb wed to just simmer. When hams are baked, it is best to cover t'lemover ! with a paste of flour and water, when ] they are actually steam d in their own moisture. While in the subject of hums we may give a tasty recinn for ■■ r- ■ ~ oHavin' s-’akod, scrubbed, and jm-od. cover the bottuiii wttli u tin k of Hour and water, and lay it upside down in a baking pan with, about a pint of water.

Cover thickly with cracker crumbs: brush over with bea’en egg and set in the oven to brown. It can be eaten either hot or cold.

Had Experience. । A certain judge in Chicago, who rather (prides himself on his vast and varied knowledge of law, was compelled not long ago to listen to a ease that had been appealed from a justice of the | p-a-e. The voting practitioner who uppoared foi-tlio appellant was long and 1 tedious: he brought in ali the elementary text-books and quoted the fundamental propositions of law. At last the judge thought it was time to make an effort to hurry him up. “Can't we assume.” he said, blandly, “that the ' court knows a little law itself?” I “That’s the very mistake I made in the ] lower court.” answered the young man: “I don't want to let it defeat me twice.” Beecham’S Pills act like ma;'c on the liver and other vital organs.

v * Woman Bootblacks in Fra^T A custom is gaining ground in France, and especially in Toulon and certain other towns, which shows that a bootblack need not to be always the be* grimed creature he appears to be here. 1 his is the employment of women as street shoeblacks:- The French woman shoeblacks are most coquettishly gotten up, and, as to their caps and. frills, have somewhat the appearance of hosI and is surprising that, ■ occ upation is a tolerably I tidy? some of them are doing the poi* j ishing in gauntlet gloves. An im* I provement that ought to be made, but 1 which no one seems to have thought of, 1 ' is that the bootblack should be made to moisten his blacking with something else than saliva. It is not nice to think of otherwiso cleanly persons going about carrying on their shining boots the dried secretions of the bootblack’s mouth. He may be diseased—you don’t know! Surely he could carry a sponge or a bottle and “spray” his brushes. It would only add a trifle to the cost of his outfit.—Philadelphia Ledger.
