Ready For the House Nov. 1.
".OLGOTT’S SILVER. SPEECH.
he Colorado Senator Discusses the Finan-
cial Situation and Incidentally Pays
His Respects to Hill, Vbor-
bees and Cleveland.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.——The tarifi ques-
ion is now undergoing a course of under-
.tudy preparatory to taking the place of
he silver question as soon as that drama
s removed from the boards, and perhaps
.fore that event occurs. The cry, “Repeal
he Sherman law and go home,” has been
'irtually abandoned as impracticable of ex-
cution.
It has been the expressed wish of the ad-
ninistration that congress should take this
ourse, because President Cleveland, Secre-
. ' Carlisle and Mr. Wilson, the chairman
. the ways and means, concurred in think-
.5 that a tariff bill could be better pre-
. . red while congress was not in session.
I r. Carlisle finds his time during office
1' ours almost wholly taken up with visits
‘ om senators and members on matters of
atronage, and he has been able to give but
I'ttle attention to the recommendations
vhich he will make as to the shape which
.he ‘ w tariif bill should assume.
He as very anxious that congress should
,. v 'ourn quickly, and yesterday, it is said,
h e visited the capitol and had a quiet talk
ith friendly senators and with Speaker
' risp and Mr. Wilson as to the practice-
ility of bringing ‘ this to pass. The result
of his survey of the field convinced him
that all hope of making any break in the
continuous course of the extra session and
the regular session must be abandoned. It
is conceded that general legislation will be
entered upon in the extra session.
\Vllson's Expectation.
It is understood therefore that Mr. Car-
lislo now contemplates going into retreat
for a month or so in order to be able to
bring his mind uninterruptedly to the con—
sideration of tarilf questions.
be present expectation of. Chairman
lson is that his committee will have a.
tariff bill ready for the consideration of the .
house by Nov. 1, but certainly not before.
A very urgent question which may be
forced to the front at an early day is the
necessity for making some provision to put
money into the treasury to meet the cur-
rent obligations of the government. There
is a deficiency of from $10,000,000. to $11,000;
000 in sight already, and the revenues are
running behind the expenditures to the
amount of $300,000 a day. Rigid economy
inappropriation'will not suffice to meet
the difficulty. The fixed and unavoidable
expenditures of the government are at the
present moment in excess of its income.
01‘ perhaps a better way to put the case
isthat owing to the financial stringency
and consequent falling off in receipts from
internal revenue, taxes on distilled spirits,
tobacco, etc, and owing to the tariff uncer-
tainty and the monetary stringencies com-
bined, which occasion a falling Off of cus-
toms receipts from imports, the daily rev-
enues of the government are considerably
less than the compulsory daily expendi-
tures for pensions and the ordinary ex-
penses of government.
In the Senate.
There Was nothing of public interest in
the morning business of the senate aside
from a discussion as to the office of the su-
pervising architect of the treasury, Mr.
Dolph complaining that, under the limita-
tion of cost imposed by the last congress,
the office was unable to secure the services
of draftsmen and civil engineers so asto
proceed with the construction of public
buildings. He introduced a joint resolu-
tion on the subject, which was referred to
the committee on public buildings and
grounds.
The morning business having been dis-
posed of, the senate on motion of Mr.
Voorhces (Dem., Ind.) took up the house
bill for the repeal of the Sherman act, and
Mr. “Volcott (Rep, Colo.) addressed the
senate in Opposition to it. Senators on both
sides settled down in their chairs to give
him an attentive hearing.
‘lVolcott’s Speech. .
Senator VVolcott sarcastically referred to
the great number of senators who, profess-
ing to be bimetallists, held that an inter-
national agreement was necessary and
pointed out that thereby they accepted the
single gold policy of England. He said
WEEKnYeNeuw
may oy‘sucu utterances as mass or Sens
ator Hill of the other day. “110 was not
for them was against them, and his speech
would have been as logical if made against
silver and in flavor Ofunconditional repeal.
The senator knew that free coinage by
separate act was impossible during this ad-
ministration, and that any assistance he
desired to render must come now or not at
all. , Silver had been compelled to bear
everybody’s burdens for many months, and
it seemed now to be involved in some fash—'
ion with the Democratic factional differ-
ences in New York.
Senator Wolcott next paid his respects
to Senator Voorhees and said that his
change of front was one of the most re-
markable and ominous occurrences. He
attacked the senator’s record on silver and
national banks and said that all his past
utterances, as was shOwn by the Iecord,
were “words writ in water.”
He quoted from the senatorlsurticle last
year in The North American Review to
show his lack of consistencyand asserted
that now for the first time he (Voorhees),
supposed to represent the masses, and Sher-
man, supposed to represent the classes,
were in complete accord in financial mat-
ters. The wolf was dwelling -with the
lamb, and the leopard was lying down with
the kid. This harmony, he feared, would
not continue.
Cleveland u a Blmetallifl.
No man could be a bimetallist in the
sense that he believed in the further ooin- .
age of gold and silver by the United States
and advocate this bill. The president
would undoubtedly veto any independent
measure for the free coinage of silver, and
there was not a senator in the body who
did not believe this to be true. Any man
who vouched for Mr. Cleveland as a bimet-
allist would vouch for the man in the
moon. Why- not’ act now on the whole
financial question? It was glibly said that
we could have further legislation later.
We should never know any more about sil-
ver than We know now, and congress was
in session to deal with the subject.
Mr. Wolcott then went on to oontrovert
the argument. that there was an overpro-
duction of silver in the world; that it was
cheaply produced at a cost much less than
its present market price as a commodity
and that upon a return to free coinage at a
ratio of 16 to 1 the present product would
be largely increased. He held that not one
of these statements was true and that the
falsity of each of them could be readily
demonstrated.
The people of the for northwest favored
the resumption of: free silver coinage be-
cause they believed in bimetallism. They
were not inflationists. They did not advo-
cate fiat money. They believed that, as
Senator Jones; had happily put it, the rude
obstacles which nature had interposed of—
fer a better safeguard for the people than
the wisdom or umviszinm of their rulers.
They Opposed tne single. standard because
there was not enough gold to do the busi-
ness of the world and :urnish its inhab-,
itants with the currency they needed.
Twenty years’ experience had emphasized
the experience of centuries. Silver had not
depreciated, but gold had appreciated
The Whole Country Aflected.
There could be no stronger bulwark of a
country’s safety thanthat she produce her
own coin for her own people and was not
dependent for it on foreign nations. If
these mining states alone were to suffer by
unconditional repeal, they would sufier
without a word in the interest Of a mis-
taken policy for the public good, but there
was no section of the country that was not
likewise being devoted to disaster and im—
poverishment. The senate was endeavor-
ing to remove one of the cornerstones of
the government frbric, to tear down one of
. the pillars of the temple of our prosperity.
They would find to their sorrow that when
the western and southern walls had crum-
bled the eastern facade would not remain
unmutilated and secure.
The results of this action would effect ev—
ery home and fireside in this broad land.
Measured against the welfare of a. great
people threatened with the misery and suf-
fering which ‘must follow the abandon-
ment of silver, of how slight importance
Were party lines, and how paltry and sor-
did did patronage and the favor of the ex—
ecutive appear. .'
If the contest for the people was to
won, it must be because against the selfish
demands of the east were arrayed the
united votes of the south and’the west. It
was standing together on this great ques-
tion to save the common country from
greater suffering and impoverishment than
even the horrors of war could inflict, 8.111
by their united votes to maintain not alone
the standard of both gold and silver con-
templated by the constitution and conse—j
crated by centuries of usage, but to main-
tain as well the standard of American in-
dependence and American manhood.
At the close of Mr. Volcott’s speech no-
tice was given by Mr. Mills (Dem., Tex.)
that he would ask the senate next Wednes-
<senate was in favor of the unconditional
repeal of the purchasing clauses". offitheW',

an amendment was adopted giving the

Then the floor was taken by Mr. Cadery
(Dem., La). His maiden speech in the
Sherman act. ,
,In the House.
After very little and very unimportant
routine morning business had been trans-
acted the house resumed the consideration
of the new code of rules.
Mr. Hooker (Dem., Miss.,) attacked the
proposition in the rules which confers upon
the committee on rules jurisdiction over
all proposed action touching the order of
business. He contended that such a course
would mean the surrender of the powers
of the great committees of the house to a
committee consisting of five men.

membership of the committee on rules

The Tax-m Consideration;
WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.——The decision of
the committee on ways and means yester-
day to give hearings to persons interested
in the preparation of a tarifi bill between
the 4th and 20th of September dOes not ex-
haust the intentions of the committee in
that regard. '
Chairman Wilson has been instructed to
present a resolution for consideration by
the house authorizing the committee
through its various subcommittees to pur—
sue investigation of the several subjects
over which they have especial charge, the
expenses of those investigations to be paid
out of the contingent fund of the house
upon the warrant of the chairman of the
committee.
This will meet the criticism of Mr. Reed
upon the action of the committee yester-
day that 18 or 20 hours seems a short time
to devote to a presentation of the great
manufacturing and producing interests of
the country.

Standing on. the Track When Hit.
Wednesday afternoon as the pay train
was coming from Wilson Point, the en-
gineer saw two Hungarians standing on
the track near the hat factory of Otto

sharp blasts of the whistle,but the men,
who were apparently intoxicated paid
no heed to the warning. At the some
time several of the men in Barthol's
factory saw the men and approaching

of the way, but they apparently did
not hear or were too drunk to under-
stand. J net as the locomotive was up--
on them one of the Huns looked. up
and seeing his danger Jumped from the
track, but the other was too late and
was struck and hurled against Barthol’s

" 2. To authorize and empower the Water
Commissioners, If deemed advisable, to build
a. suitable reservmr upon the Site purchased;
and to make the necessary appropriations to

The meeting was called to order by
V Warden Sloan and Clerk Hubbell read
the call. _
Water Commissioner Coolidge put a.
sort of a dampener on"the meeting at the
outset by saying that grave doubts had
been expressed as to the legality of the
call. He said that the commissioners
were not'present to ask for an appropri-
ation but'that they would like to make
a statement. He said that in 1892,
the Water Commissioners were em-
powered to purchase the property
known as the Roscoe place, and that
an appropriation of $1,200 was made to
be used in. the purchase of the land.
The commissioners had made such pur-
chase, but there were seven acres of
would be desirable for the borough to
own, but-that the present owner wants
$1,000 for the same. The other land,
had been secured at an average cost of
$25 per acre. He stated that there was
a highway running across the tract that
it would be either necessary to raise or
change the course of if ever the tract
was‘fiooded. The present board of N.
Y. highway commissioners were agree-
able to a change in the course of the
road. Thought the the cost of _the
change would be about $1,500. It might
cost more later on if there should be a.
change in the board of, highway com-
missioners. .He said that since the call
for the meeting had been promulgated
he had heard all sorts of reasons given
for the call, also that it had been stated
that some one wanted a job, that there
was a “nigger in the fence,” whatever
that might mean, and that several com-
munications had appeared In the GA-
ZETTE in reference to the matter. The
sole reason for the call he added, was
that at the t1me,there was not more than
ten days supply of water in the reser-
voirs,and the situation was so alarming
he had visited the South Norwalk water
commissioners to engage a. supply of
.water in case of need. ' Since that time

could not understand why it had ever

Moody, speaking of the'laying of a
16 inch pipe from the Grape In place of

the change was made there would be
liable to be trouble with mill owners in

wished to be heard. ”Mr ' . H._Byington
also asked that the matt be ventilated.
It was claimed that the motion to ad-

was called for. .
Mr. Maples thereupon made, the toll-
ing point that as there had been. no mo-
tion before the meeting previous to the
motion to adjourn, the latter motion
was debateeble. ., .
Mr. Maples, when quiet had been re-
stored, said that the. present- l2-inch
pipe between the reservou's did not
bring the water down as fast as needed.

Union M’f’g. 00., whlch provided that
nothing larger than a ‘12-1nch pipe

obtaining the money so appropriated. .
Mr. Moody spoke of the amount of
water used by water motors, and his re-
marks suggested the idea that the be.
rough was not properly remunerated
for the amount of water-so used.
George Raymond asked to have the
rates charged to private consumers re-
duced to $5. Said that he had secured
the rates charged for water In five dif-
ferent cities and in every instance they
were lower than the rates charged 111
Norwalk. He also presented an amend.
ment to the Maples’ resolution.
0. B. Coolidge asked Mr. Raymond
if he had ascertained in getting his dif-
ferent estimates if there had been any-
thing said in reference to the use of
hydrants. Said it was necessary for
the commissioners ~ to raise so much
money every year to pay necessary ex-
penses and if that. amount was not
forthcoming it would become necessary
to ask for money to make up the defici-
ency.. . _
In reply to Mr. Baympnd, A.‘ H.

to Miss Smith, which was to take place to-
morrow.
Miss Smith says Howland very seldom
missed calling upon her once or twice
during the day, 'and on Sunday he spent
nearly the whole day at her home. On
Sunday night, before leaving Miss Smith,
he said, “I don’t think I will be over to-
morrow, but be sure and be ready on Tues-
day morning and we will drive to Freehold
to see the house.” He was getting it in
readiness for his honeymoon. '
While Miss Smith was seeing him to the
gate on Sunday evening, H owland re-
marked to her that he was going home by
way of the New Jersey Southern rail«
road track, which was a roundabout way
and which was something unusual for him
to do, saying he wanted a we k. He told
Miss Smith to go in the house and close the
door, which she did. Howland did not
leave the gate until this was done. That
was the last seen or heard of him.
It was rumored this morning that How-
land said he was going away on Sunday to
buy some carpets to furnish his house at
Freehold, but Miss Smith says this was to
be part of their errand to Freehold on
Tuesday. Howland asked Miss Smith one
day last week to get married at once, but
she preferred to have the matter postponed
until tomorrow, which was agreeable to
him.
If the missing man has been murdered, it
is believed that it was dbne near the home
of Miss Smith and his body taken to a deep
swamp or to the Branchport creek and
thrown in the water. The citizens are out
today dragging the creek and searching
the swamp with the expectation of recov—
ering the body. A reward will be offered
for the recovery of the body.
