A‘nent Ventilation.
A ‘well known New York physician
was consulted by a patient suffering
from weak throat and lungs. The doc-
tor gave the expected prescription, the
usual advice about diet, and exercise,»
and in closing added: “Never go to
church, and go to the theater only very
rarely.” There was no moral or im-
moral significance in this, says the
Courant, “it was simply the professional
man’s verdict on the ventilation of pub-
lic buildings. .
. And it is painfully true that a certain
class of weak throats are very prone to
develop “colds” after being in such ill-
vcntilated places. Many are the minis-
ters, too,who suffer pangs at the appar-
ent drowsiness that their sermons cre-
ate, while really the sermons are inter-
esting enough,but the audience are be-
ing stifled. Some churches keep the
‘1 same air for months. As for theaters
and balls they are only better in being
oftener opened.
Nor is the trouble all in these. What
human habitation is less ventilated,
more stifling, surer to create a cold,
than a railroad car? It may be a sleep-
er,a drawing-room or a common coach.
Whichever and whatever it is,it is equal-
ly sure to be too cold or too hot and to
possess an atmosphere that __is at war
with good health. '
What the constructive arts need is to
learn how to apply ventilation to the
structures they create.”

Our Warm Fall Weather.
The continued warm weather, warm-
er even than usual for Indian summer,
is having a curious effect. In some
parts of the country fruit trees are a
second time in blossom. Several such
cases have been reported in the GA-
ZETTE. Young flies and othei' new-born
insects, are as plentiful as in spring,
and in some quarters great flocks of
birds ready for winter, migration have
put off their trip and may be seen in
hundreds and thousands fluttering out
of the fields and woods when a carriage
or pedestrian goes by. On a recent
'visit to the charming summer home of
' Col. Henry Huss at Shell Island in By—
-ram Harbor, not only were his apple
trees in Spring bloom, but young apples
the size of marbles plentifully adorned
the branches. This has. certainly been
a most extraordinaryyear in very many
respects.
This season has been one series of
successive surprises in the sudden
change of the weather from heat to
cold, from rain to shine and from still-
ness to the noise of the raging tempest,
remarks a correspondent of the Regis-
ter, who adds that “on Saturday I
picked from my trees at Madison, sev-
eral bunches of lilacs, some apple blos-
soms and the buds of a real flovvering
shrub, while a plum tree was also in
full bloom and peach buds were swell-
ing. While out driving, I observed a
horse chestnut tree blooming by the
wayside. Sunday the church in Madi-
son was decorated with 75 sprays Of
white lilac blossoms which were picked
from a neighboring farm lawn. In
New Haven today, I have seen pear
trees in full bloom. Occasional freaks
of this character have been hitherto
observed, but such a wholesale min-
gling of fruit, bud, leaf and blossom
on the same tree and at the same time
is a feature of so rare occurrence as to
be worthy of note.”
It is to be hoped, for the benefit of
the poor families obliged to purchase
high priced coal, that this 'mildness
may continue far into the usually rigor-
our winter months.

The Unsettled Settlement.
The Senate silver compromise ar-
rangement has gone to pieces irre-
mediably, and that before it was com~
pleted. It satisfied a fewSenators, but
dissatisfied so many more that it had
to be abandoned before its report to
the Senate. This was caused by the
open and defiant hostility of those
Senators representing the views and
wishes of‘the President on the one
hand and those who repr esented silver
on the other. A compromise could
have no value except to gain votes and
silence opposition. It was found that
the compromise Was weaker in votes
than unconditional repeal, and, was
even more obnoxious to the silver filli»
busters. The project was solely a
scheme of Senator German to~keep
his party united. Party unity is im-
portant to the strict partisan. But to
the patriotic and conservative states-
'
r
man the’fPresident’s plan _of meeting
the immediate emergency outside of
politics, and leaving the course of
events to determine the future policy
of the party, is deemed the safest and
wisest, even from a political point of
view. There was clearly nothing 'to
be gained by any compromise that
might notbe gained by unconditional
repeal, and much that would be lost.
TheTribune today, with just exult-
ation, says the “Republicans have won,
and owe their victory to President
Cleveland. Washington dispatches say
that the silver men are demoralized,
and that a vote will come within a few
days. All telegrams from that quarter
havelbeen confusing, while the Senate
didnot know‘its own mind from hour
to hour; .but the silver men realize a
collapse of their forces from which only
one result can come. It makes no dif-
ference now when, or by what vote. the
end comes. It makes no difference
whether at the end the Republicans
furnish the majority of votes or not.
They‘ furnished. practically all the
President counted upon when he killed
compromise.” '
The surrender signed .by nearly all
the Democratic Senators has disgusted
every man on either side who had a
sincere conviction. The silver Senators
are profoundly disgusted, and it is
enough that the President himself
made compromise impossible, and step-
ped a democratic Congress from a most
infamous surrender of National inter-
ests to filibusters and inflationists. It
will serve these Democrats right if
their efforts are defeated by the ex-
pected speedy vote on unconditional
repeal, in which they will be compelled
to take their stand with the President
or against him. It is now believed at
‘Washington that unconditional repeal
will pass with little delay.

Did he Steal the Bicycle?
Mr. H. D. Wolcott, of bicycle fame,
and who has a store on Main street,
was arrested Tuesday night on the
charge of having stolen a bicycle.
The complainant was Thomas Walsh.
As a GAZETTE reporter gleans the story
'of the arrest, Mr. Wolcott is not at
all in the fault. It seems that a bicycle
was shipped to Walsh in the care of
Wolcott, the wheel to be used by
Walsh “for advertising purposes.” Mr.
Wolcott and Walsh had some words in
reference to the express charges on the
wheel which the former had paid.
Wolcott alleges that Walsh was not
working in the interest of the manu-
facturer, and took the bicycle and
placed it in his store, whereupon Walsh
caused his arrest. Mr. Walsh has re-
tained Attorney Austin for his counsel,
and Wolcott has secured the services
of Attorney Hurlbutt. It is believed
that the manufacturer will uphold Wol-
cott in the action. Local wheelman are
somewhat divided in their opinion as
to the merits of the case, but a larger
number of them, while regretting the
occurrence, are free to say Wolcott
acted just as they would have done
under the circumstances.

Vote on the Bill May Be
' Reached Saturday.‘
Silver Men-Only Demand Time NOW
to Finish Their Speeches—Believed
That the House “Fill luake Quick
Work of the Senate Amendment.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.-The unusual
placidity of the Senate yesterday and the
comparatively early hour at which its pro-
ceedings closed strengthens the feeling
this morning that, after the long and
stormy voyage which the silver purchase
repeal bill has experienced, land is in
sight. There were but two speeches, or
rather sections of speeches, made, and
they were those of the two Nevada sena-
tor s, Messrs. Stewart and Jones.
Only Want Time to State Their Views.
The latter assured the senate, before
taking his seat, that there was no inten-
tion on the part of the opponents of the
repeal bill to prolong the discussion fur-
ther than was necessary to enable them to
state their views clearly to the senate and
to the people. This assurance was ac-
cepted by Mr. Faulkner (dem., W. Va.),
on whose motion the senate, at 4 p. m.,
took a recess till 11 a. n1. to—day.
The Wilson Bill.
If the senate repeal bill passes what will
happen? This inquiry prompts a reference
to the facts of the situation as they stand.
The Wilson bill which the house passed
August 28 last providing for the repeal of
the silver purchase clause of the Sherman
not contained this proviso: “But this re-
peal shall not impair, or in any manner
affect the legal tender puallty of the stand-
ard silver dollars heretofore coined; and
the faith and credit of the United States
are hereby pledged to maintain the parity
of the standard gold and silver coins of
the United States at the present legal ratio
or such other ratio as may be established
by law.”
The Voorliees Substitute.
The Voorhees bill which was reported to
the senate from the finance committee as a
substitute for the Wilson bill replaced
that proviso with the following substitute:
“And it is hereby declared to be the
policy of the United States to continue the
use of both gold and silver as standard
money, and to coin both gold and silver
into money of equal intrinsic and exchange-
able value, such equality to be secured
through international agreement, or by
such safeguards of legislation as will in-
sure the maintenance -Of the parity in
value of the coins of the two metals
and the equal power of every dollar
at all times in the markets and
in the payment of debts. And it is hereby
further declared that the efforts of the
government should be steadily directed to
the establishment of such a system of hi-
metallism as will maintain at all times
the equal power of every dollar coined or

House \Vill Probably Concur.
Should this bill pass and be sent over
to the house, Speaker Crisp says there will
be two motions in order, one to concur in
the senate amendment or substitute, the
other to refer it to a committee. The ex-
pectation expressed was that the former
motion would be adopted.‘ The dcclaraé
tion in the Voorhecs bill is so far satisfac~
tory to the repealers in the house that,
in order to get prompt action on the bill,
it is believed that they will concur in it
without question.
No Show for the House Minority.
Whether or not any obstructive tactics
will be employed against the bill in the
house was a question asked to-day, and
the impression received was that there
will not be.
One silverite when asked if it was pro«
posed to obstruct the ~measure when it
reached the. house, -replied: ,“How can
you obstruct anything under the rules
here? What earthly chance has the min-
ority. There is no freedom of speech.”
Want to Adjourn.
Representatives would like to adjourn
this week if possible, and the speaker and
the committee on rules will do all in their .
power to bring this about, if the matter
comes within their jurisdiction. But ad-
journment does not rest upon the silver
bill alone. The senate must first dispose
of the McCreary bill to amend and modify
the Geary Chinese restriction and registra-
tion not before the administration will ac-
cede to an adjournment.
May AdJourn this Week.”
But that bill can be acted upon in, the
senate while the house ‘~ disposes Of the
silver question. Congress may adjourn, if
the senate so wills," and if ‘ both bodies
earnestly pursue the purpose which promi-
nent members of each express. An adjourn-
of the extra session is not only a possibility
but a. probability this week.
Populists Still Show Fight.
The populists were heard from to the
following effect: Mr. Allen (Neb.): “It‘be-
gins to look as if the end was coming. I
for one will never give up until the wagon
runs over me. Of course, I recognize the
fact that I cannot carry on the fight
alone.” -
It is the intention of those in charge of
the bill, now that the struggle has been
abandoned. not to push the measure to {a
vote with unseeming haste. It is believed
that the voteon the amendments will be
taken or; Friday. The vote en the '.bi_l_l
"its—0H will pmbdblfi'efit Tia—ken, untfl'
Saturday.
SILVER IN THE House.
The Ail-Important Subject One of
the Chief Incidents of the Day. 4
WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.—-After passing
a. bill to license engineers and assistant
engineers on vessels in the merchant ma-
rine, the house took up the bankruptcy
bill. Mr. Denson (dem., Ala.) made a.
vigorous speech against it. Mr. Dalzell
(rep, Penn.) favored such a bill if objee
tionable features couldgbe eliminated, as
did also Mr. Ray (rep, N. Y.).
Silver in the House.
The the chief incident of the day was
- a Buyer discussion, which the declaration
of Mr. Denson that silver, had. been de-
monetlzed by the democratic party had
precipitated. " Mr. Patterson (dem., Tenn.)
said that the repeal of the Sherman act
would not eliminate one dollar of silver
from circulation. .
Mr. Bland, interrupting, said:
Silver Like Greenbacks, Says Bland.
“It remains in circulation like greenbacks , .
to be redeemed in gold. It is virtually,
as money, demonetized, and the gentleman
from Tennessee cannot deny it. (Applause
on the democratic side.) ' The bill that de-
monetizes silver, called the repeal bill,
goes further than that. It re-enacts the
provision of the Sherman law that all the
silver shall be redeemed in gold. ” (Ap-
plause on the democratic side.)
Bimetallism Discussed at" Length.
Mr. Patterson—I do not so understand;
but I do admit that it is the policy of the
administration to retain every dollar of
silver now in circulation on a. parity with
gold.
Messrs. Bryan, (dem., Neb.,) and Pence,
(pop, Colo.,) were drawn into the colloquy
and bimetallism was disdussed for some
time.
‘At 4:45 the house adjourned.
