THE LIVTH CÖNGBESS

AUGUST BODIES ARE AGAIN IN SESSION. Chiefly Notable at Present for the Lack of Familiar Faces Flood of Bills and Resolutions Is Keadj for the House. Assembling of the Solons. VTashlngton correspondence: The Fifty-fourth Congress began its first session at noon Monday, and the most striking feature to the old observer of the lower house was the absence of familiar faces. The appearance of the 8enate was not greatly changed. Of the famous men in the House these are about all that are left: Reed, Boutelle, Dingley, and Milliken, of Maine; Dockery, Cobb, Tarsney. Hall and De Armond, of Missouri; "Private John" Allen, Catchings and Money, of Mississippi; Crisp, of Georgia: Cannon, of Illinois; Cobb, of Alabama; Hifforn, of California; and McCreary and Berry, of Kentucky. TL - M MS? x " " 1 a - 01 Breckinridge 1 s missing, as is also many another fa in 1 1 1 a r o n e sexator ELKixs. Bland, of Missouri; father of the cart wheel dollar; llolman. of Indiana, watchdog of the treasury for thirty years; Bourke Cockran, New York's famous campaign orator; Bryan, of Nebraska, the "boy orator of the Platte;" Springer, of Illinois, and Kilgore, of Texas. Conn, of Indiana, is not in the Congressional parade; like that other ex-Congressman. Beriah Wilkins, of Ohio, ho has prospered in the field of journalism at the capital. But the list is too long. It would fill a column to record nil that have gone and all that still remain. To the stranger eye perhaps the gathering is much .as it was two years ago. Here and there a face made familiar by the cartoonists appears, but for the most part the crowd on the famous avenue on the morning of the first Monday in December was made of curious visitors and tho customary shopping mob of Washington men and women. There was more of life in the UNCLE SAM'S WISE throng than there has been for many a day, for all ror.ds do not lead to the eapitol, and Pennsylvania nveuue is the chief thoroughfare to that Mecca of the politician. The Meeting of the Senate. The number of new faces in the Senate ii amber when the Vice President called that body to order was comparatively few. Mr. Ransom's was missing. Mr. Butler, of South Carolina, another relic of the age of chivalry in the South, is also gone into retirement Georgia sends Augustus O. Ilacon to take the seat held for a brief space by Patrick Walsh, the editor of the Augusta Chronicle. Mr. Hear, an old-time member of the House, be? known as "Gov. Gear," fills the seat of Wilson, of Iowa. Ex-Got. Knute Nelson, known not so long ago as a member of the House, takes the place of Washburn, of Minne sota. Mr. Dixon, of Rhode Island, gives n.V to George PeaIxidy Wet more. W. J. Sewell, once a member of tlw Sonate, tikes the seat ot McPherson. Kx-Secretary K 1 -kins succeeds Johoo n Camden, of West Virginia. ExHenator Warren, of Wyoming, returns to take the place of Mr. Carey, and Thomas S. Martin, of Virginia, displaces Eppa Ilunton. Not many changes. But the Senators serve for six years and are reasonably sure of re-election. Mr. Morrill has been in the Senate twenty-eight years, Mr. Sherman thirty years, Mr. Allison twenty-two years. Mr. Ransom had served for twenty-three years continuously when he retired. Because there are so few newcomers among them the gathering of the Senators was like the reunion of a big family. No party distinctions were drawn as they grouped themselves on the floor of the Senate chamber. Personal friendships obliterate fcr a time that imaginary line which separates Democrat from Republican, and the representatives of the parties and of all sections of the country mingle freely, shaking hands, exchanging congratulations cn improved health, swapping a little gossip of the late election perhaps. A long time before the noon hour the floor of the chamber had been cleared of strangers. The pages hurried to and fro with an air of bustling importance. They are prime factors In legislation, they think. But at least from this day they are the recipients of a daily stipend of $2, and that is a matter of much seriousness to them.

them, now past the semi-centenary of

service and conscious of his importance as a one time protege of the great Webster, was in charge of the floor. Everything Is fresh and clean and bright-looking. The furniture has been reupholstered, a new carpet has been laid. The VICK rilKSlPEXT STKVEXSOX, President of ihe Senate. Senate wears out a carpet in every Con gress. The Senators dropped in one at a time. There are not many in their places usually when the gavel falls, but on the opening day there was h larger number than is customary at other tim'es. The galleries were fairly well filled when at one minute before 12 o'clock the eastern door leading to the lobby opened and the Vice President and the chap lain appeared. Mr. Stevenson, who has been spending Iiis 6ummer in Alaska and at his home in Bloomington, and whose ruddy com plexion tells of im proved health, and Dr. Milhurn. the fa mous "blind chapSEXATOROEAR OF aj' who has Wen 1UUA' in the service of Congress off and on since he was a youth and whose thousands of miles of travel have been increased during the Congressional recess by n trip to Furope. The gavel of the Vice President is nn ivory device, small and shaped something like an hour glass. It has been in the care of Capt. Bassett through tie summer, concealed no one knows where. but hidden as completely as is the iden tity of Daniel Webster's desk, which Basset t has stored in his mind. MEN CALLED BACK. The Vice President took the little gnvel and tapped lightly on the cloth-eoven-d desk. Conversation erased nnd many of the Senators arose while the chaplain delivered a brief invocation. At its con clusion the chairs filled rapidly. There" was no journal of the last day's session to read, and the first business to transact was tho fcwrariiy;in of newly elected Senators. Many had been sworn in at the last session in preparation for their inauf urntion. So this business was accomplished quickly. Announcement was shortly made that the President would send his message the following day, and adjournment was taken; but not until a flood of bills had poured in. for the Senators were well loaded with business. In the IIone. The House was a far more entertaining place than the Senate. The new Congressman is all excitement as he sits in n group of admiring friends vrho have cr-me to see him installed. His wife and children are in the gal.ery perhaps, and he tries to look less conscious than he feels for their sakes. The older member has nineh to say to old friends on the floor reminiscences to exchange and regrets to express for the departed. But the beginning of the session is an old story to him. Perhaps he feels a momentary uneasiness about that coinniiKee chairmanship which was half promised to him, but he keeps his own counsel about it. lie does not get flurried, because he knows that it will do no good. He has put in all his hard work in advance of the meeting of the caucus, and he knows nothing will help him now. Here, as in the Senate, the tnrsi;c receives but scant attention in the reading. Most of the members take their printed copies into the committee rooms and read the document ut leisure there. The House, too, adjourns as soon ns the rending is concluded, and the first session is usually hardly more thr.n an hour or an hour and a half in length. No lulls are introduced because, unlike the Senate, the House has no rules to govern it. It is acting under general parliamentary law until such time as it shall adopt the rules of the preceding House or formulate a code for itself. It is more than likely thai the rules adopted by the House in the Fifty-fourth Congress will be those prepared under the Bifrriioij of Mr. Reed when he was Spear bei;r. The Bnainenn of Cong res. TVfcre will be no lack of bills and resolutions. For example, the new Congress wilt have to consider the question of proTidiag revenue adequate to the Government's expenditures. Then there is the fintrucial problem. Two important foreign masters are to be considered again during thSc Congress the Behring Sea award anrf fix Nicaragua Canal. Mr. Greahain

agreed with England on a payment of $425,000 to the sealers In Behring Sea, but the last House refused to accept thif adjustment of the question. Cuba will also come in for early attention, for there is no doubt a proposition to recognize the rebellious natives as belligerents will be made in both Houst and Senate, and the discussion of it will give the Republicans more campaign material. In home affairs there Is the bankruptcy bill, which has come so near adoption in two Congresses, but which still bangs fire. It passed both House and Senats three years ago, but never got through conference. In the last Congress it passed the House. Its legislative expe

rience has polished it and made it a mors perfect measure of ifs kind than nhen Mr. Torrey first brought it toVashington. The bill to reorganize ihe navy and so dispose of the "hump" in the naval list as to give younger officers a fair chancs of promotion will be taken up again at the urgent recommendation of the Secretary of the Navy. The proposed reorganization of ths Jinny will come in for a share of attention. This measure differs from ths other in that ft is not supported unanimously by the officers affected. The cavalry officers think the reorganization proposed by Secretary I.aniont will do them great injustice. The Pacific Railroads Committee will have again the seemingly hopeless task of effecting np agreement for the reorganization of the "pacific roads. Another problem which concerns ths fate of legislation is the choice of commiYce chairmen in the House. Much power to suppress or forward legislation lies with the chairmen of committees. It is thought Hitf. of Illinois, will have foreign affairs and Boutelle the naval committee. Appropriations may go to Canrncs. rt. i:r.Er, Speaker of the House. non. of Illinois, or Henderson, of Iowa. r.nd Cannon is the favorite. For wavs and mer.ns there are Payr.e. of New York; l:ilze'i, of Pennsylvania, and Dinglev. of Maine, with chances favoring the first named. If Mr. Din-ley fails on wavs .ind means he will get coinage, weight and measures without doubt. Monkey and Cobra. The sagacity which manr animals display when dealing with snakes is one that snakes may bo venomous, and treats them accordingly. If he attacks a snake, he does it with a scries of qulcq jumps and recoils, and continually Jerks Iiis head upward to avoid a possible dart from the snake. A horse kills a snake by leaping upon it with all four feet kept together. -- - - - "ict Ocean pives an lntere-tin? description of a roonko3-,s at.ack 01 a deadly cobra In India, The sennit was colled tip j corres.oonoen r .or no i nieno int i on the pround tinder : tret The monkey slowly leit Van pren in the forks . 6 .1. .. ...1 I . l vi t ie uif, nun -u.t .iu preax caution, moved tlovawciril until I ' , nau appR-acutMi um aimui iwo icet of the n-tt11e.

G ;LD'S INTRINSIC VALUE. THE gold men are always full of the "intrinsic value of gold." and that by some mysterious law of nature in the adjustment of Iter mineral deposits gold is endowed with the occult power of infallibility, and like the infinite, never changes. A friend lias sent us a pointer that has been generally overlooked, that explains the whole matter one that very careful silver men have overlooked. In Horr's debate with Harvey he fairly howled over this fact attributing the stable value of gold to the uniform cost of mining it. Elalioiate calculations have been made to show that it costs more to mine silver, dollar for dollar, than gohl-a fact well proved-and thus an answer to that argument satisfactorily afforded. But hero is the real cause: England is th pioneer gold government, and lias very effectively provided herself with the means to maintain a supply. The Bank of England is the real treasury of the British empire, and as gold is made the ultimate money of redemption or the sole primary money provision is made for a fixed value and full supply. Thus, by law. or by its harter, the Bank of Fmrhind is reoiiired to purchase all gold bullion, all light weight gold coin and all foreign gold coin presented at the bank at the fixed rate, or value, of 17s Pd per ounce r in our money .$1S.L. As the Bank of England is the great clearing house of the world and the financial institution of the British empire, this fixes the pi i-. of gold permanently for the world. The only variation in price is that of exchange, or shipment. Anyone can now readily understand why gold shipments from Atnerkr. are sometimes active and sometimes suspended. It is the difference in exchange from SbS.lL' per ounce at the Bank of England, and The exchange in Wall street. Thus disappears at once the gigantic fog-bank of "intrinsic value." It makes of gold ebsolute fiat money and gives England the controlling advantage over all other countries in the supply of gold for it is only .-it the Bank of England that gold purchased at a fixed rate is made compulsory. It is only another evidence of the slavery of the Tinted States treasury to the institution of Thread needle street and emi din sizes Mill more the crime of our present financial policy. The reader can verify these fails v - - , us as we write, which nre: Chambers' Cyclopedia. Edinburgh edition of l.ssi, volume I., page ,;(7. i:,.v,iIu.dia' Britannien.

currency legation of the country, and It will be found that they already have a fc.heme to supplement the retirement of the greenbacks which will put the banks in control. The danger ioiiit is close at hand.

The Flood of Gold. If there is going to U such a flood of gold as the monometallLsr talk about why is it that they are soared Into fit.s over the growth of the silver sentiment? They say that recent Uscoverics have

made it certain that the output of tho gold mines in the next few years will surpass anything that the world has

ever known. They are sure that Tali fornia and Colorado will each produce fray ifi,iioo worth of the yellow metal next year, and Alaska will produce sev eral millions more, while South America. South Africa and Australia will come in with fabulous returns. And as Though this were not enough, they talk alout the gold that is within reach though not actually in sight, and sa.v there is no doubt whatever that there will soon be enough gold to do the business of the world without the pulling and hauling that is now necessary to get it. But if all this is so whr is it that these gold worshipers are crazily sweeping the air in their efforts to make people lelieve the world will go to the dogs if -silver is admitted to coinage on the same terms as gold? If it is quantity that determines the price, and if the purchasing power of the metals is in the price, of the bullion and not in the coinage, why not restore the money function of silver before tho decline in the price of gold sends the value of silver to the skies above it V The purchasing power of gold lias doubled in the iast twenty years simply because the increase in supply has not kept pace with the increase in jopulatioti and business. And the gdd dealers have made thousands of millions while the upward movement of the metal has been going on. Now if the ti?e is to turn, how are they to continue piling up millions in their business of money shaving if they are not on the long side of the markt-and howare they to Ihi on the long side of the market unless there is some kind of money to increase in value while gold is going down? But there is a screw loose soniewher. The monometallism take no more stock in these mining eamp yarns than other people do. That there ha been a great stimulus to the gold mining industry everybody knows, but nobody needs to be ö '-elved by the volumes of stuff now being printed about it in the organs of the gold monopolists, it is a part of the program to head off tin- silver movement. And it is a mighty cheap kind of business. How the House Democrats Stand. The Louisville Courier-Journal presents a statement of the stand of tho Democratic members of the House on the money question. It sets down tho names of forty-one for sound monev v-M.v mo ... ... t An lars and seven "doubtful." The following is the result of the canvass: Alabama Sound money. Clarke. Free silver, Stalling. n:Jmsn ioihinf obb, Bankhead. Pnderwood and Wheeler. Arkansas-Solid for silver, MeCu-Ik-1i. Little. Mil and Xeill. California -Free silver. Masruire.

None for free silver. South Carolina Talbcrt. Latimer. Strait and McLaurin. Republicans, vot against the repeal of the Sherman act and are counted for silver. The newly elected members. Slliott. Wilson and Stokes, are c lassed as doubtful. Tennessee Sound money. Washington and Patterson. Free silver. McMillan, Kichardson, Cox and MeDearmon. Texas Sound money. Crain am 1 rowiey. i-ree silver, Pendleton. Ilutcheson, Cooper, Yoakum. Culber son. Bailey, Abbott, Bell, Sayers and Cock nd I Virginia Sound money. Tyler. Swanson. Tumor, Meredith and Tucker.

Of the seven doubtful, judging from

llielr localities, five may Ik? wifely counted for free silver. This would glvej the free silver champions In the House
