One characteristic has marked all of Judge DeArmond’s public acts and utterances, and that is fairness to all parties and consideration for others views and interests. He as- sailed the workings of tue civil ser vice law because it was adopted when one political party controlled all the offices and it was manifestly unfair to all other parties to leave republi- cans 1n control after the people bad said at the polls, in no uncertain language, that they wanted a com plete change of administration. The workings of the civil service laws are unfair to a great majority of the people of the United States, because the majority are democrats and it leaves a minority party in control. Judge DeArmond has now intro- duced a bill by which the great horde of government employees, now at the National Capital, and represent ing in the great bulk only afew New England states, will be equitably apportioned to all the states accord ing to population and leaves with the states the right to select their own representatives in these positions It provides that the terms of all the offices shall be four years, at the expiration of which they can be re tained or displaced at the discretion of their respective states. It is an outrage that the small dis- trict of Columbia shall furnish over two thirds of the employees of the government, to the exclusion of equally as competent and far better men and women all over this great country. Judge DeArmond believes infairness and equity and the people have a champion in him who is fear- less in Advocating their cause and whose ability is equal to any man’s to-day in the Federal Congress. The fire insurances companies do- ing business in Mexico, Mo., recent ly advanced rates and this action naturally caused much discontent among business men. This has tak en definite shape in the formation of an Independent Mutual Insuruance Company officered by local mer ehants. It is expected to have the company on business footing by November Ist and $40,000 business has already been offered it. All in surance will be written for six years and premiums be paid ten per cent in cash and the balancein a bankable note.—Clinton Democrat. On the same ground a similar scheme was talked of for Butler by several of our leading business that commiitee to night, “than ae thing else in the world. For tbat | reason, although we have bad uo ex-| fressions direct, I am contident that the republicans will not delay action. | They feel as we do, that it is far Let | business world know exactly what to) expect.” its height there came a demand from certain Republidan papers that the Republican Senators employ all pos sible obstructive tacties when the tariff bill came before the House. The Republican Senators excited much comment and subjected them- selyes to no little party criticism by announcing their willingness to sup- port general cloture. It was held that cloture would mean the quick passage of ths tariff bill. So it would, and the impression generally prevails that the Republican Senat ors had their policy outlined at the time and had agreed that they would not obstruct tariff legislation for the business reasons stated. It would place them in an awkward position men but no final action has been tak- en. With the splendid fire protec tion we have in this city, there is little doubt but that the property of the merchants and others would be perfectly secure with a home com pany and thousands of dollars saved to the town that isnow taken away every year. The Washington dispatch says the officials of the treasury have di- rected the mint officers at Philadel- phia and San Francisco to be in readiness to the work. The treas ury department has now on hand 137,500 ounces of silver bullion pur- chased under the Sherman act,which will coin about 180,000,000 silver dollars. Work on the Tariff Bill. Washington, Oct. 31—There con- tinues to bea difference of opinion among the members of the ways and means committee as to the time when the tariff bill will be ready to report. Although some of the mem bers expect to have it completed by November 20, the majority seem in- clined to the opinion that it will not be ready before the regular session convenes. Expressions from business men and indirectly from republican senators indicate that there will be no attempt to filibuster on the pass- age of the tariff bill. The reasons for this are apparent. Among the manufacturers and business interests the one great de- sire is to have the question settled definitely. “Uncertainty is much worse on “business affaire” said a member of before the country, and the ery for a speedy solution of the tariff ques tion which has arisen in all sections of the country shows that business While the silver filibuster was at | IT IS All OVER.

Oct. 31.—The silver men, or the most intense sil verites in the House, will, it is said insist that the repeal bill be put through by force and without any agreement on their part as to time when debate shalll end or anything else. They say they mean to be forced into submission. The mode of procedure in the House to-morrow will probably be that as svon as the Speaker lays the repeal bill before the House, Mr. Wilson of West Virginia will move that the house concur in the Senate amendments, and upon thut he will demand the previous question. Then some one will suggest time be given for debate. Mr. Wilson wil! ask how much time is desired, and will try to get an agreement. The silvermen, if they do not change their minds, will not agree to any- thing- Mr Wilson will then insist upon the ¢previous qustion. Then the filibustering will begin. It is doubtful how much strength the silver men will have. A number of those who have always voted for free coinage, and will vote against concurrence in the Senate amend ment, will not join the filibusters But there is little doubt these men will have sufficient strength to call the yeas and nays, and that will en- force the committee on rules to re- port a cloture resolution. This ‘will be done if the filibustering begins. The repealers have been worried all the time about a quorum, and to- day could count but 165 members in the city who voted against all amend- ments when the bill was pending in the House before being sent to the Senate. Ifall the other members, about 130, who are here and who supported silver in some form or another, should refuse to vote on various motions, it would leave the House without a quorum. But it is understood that they will not do this. It is generally understood that Mr. Bland weakened his case very much when he objected to Mr. Liv- ingston’s motion to take up and con- sider the bill until to morrow night, when a vote should be taken. Mr. Bland wants an opportunity to vote on a free coinage proposition and if the rules will give him the privilege he will offer as an amend- ment to the repeal bill the coinage act of 1837. “I have done with all compromises,” he said to an Associ ated Press reporter, “and want nothing but free coinage. I will not offer the Bland-Allison law even if given anopportunity. Free coin- age or nothing.” Mr. Bland will be given an oppor- tunity to move to commit the bill to his committe on coinage, weights and measures, as such a motion is privileged under the rules. The clause in the Voorhees billjwhich dee clares the intention of this govern- ment to maintain the parity of all money and in favor of bimetallic coinage, gives the coinage comittee, and consequently Mr. Bland has the privilege of making such a motion. It would of course, be voted down. It is probable the rules committee will fix the time for voting on the bill at some time to-morrow evening, perhaps about 5 o'clock.

Boiu the Missouri Senators made speech. s. Mr. Vest’s, _ brilliant, forceful and attractive, and Mr. Cockreil’s earnest, candid aud indignant, were listened to with attention. Mr. Vest defended the silver States aud insisted that the entire demonetization of _ silver, which would be achieved by the un- conditional repeal of the purchasing clause of the Sherman act, was one cf the greatest crimes of the age. Senator Cockrell told some secrets. He classified the votes on the repeai bill in the House of Representatives and insisted that the Repulicans should be entitled tothe credit of repeal if there is any evedit attached to it and, if it proved tv be a bad measure, the Republicans should be held responsible, mainly for it. THE VOORHEES BILL. Following is the full text of the Voorhees bill passed by the Senate as a substitute for the Wilson bill, pased the House: That so much of the act approved July 14, 1890, entitled “An act di- recting the purchase of silver bullion and issue of Treasury notes thereon and for other purposes” as directs the Secretary of the Treasury to purchase from time to time silver bullion to the aggreate of 4,500,000 ounces, or so much thereof in each month at the market price thereof Hon. D. A. PeArmond. i DeArmond, of Butier, makes a} better speech than two-thirds of the} members. His speech on the silver question was a mode! of complete-! ness, conseiseness and neatness. It) reads like a carefully prepared edi | torial. He knows the art of con} densation perfectly and he never | speaks a minute too long nor says a! word too much. Heisa gentleman | of spotless integrity, and if he were | not cold he would ba universally | loved. When Miss Peasle McNeil, | editor of the Woman's Column in| the Post, wrote that delightfally en tertaining sketch some time ago on Prudence, in which she said men would let Prudence go to Jerusalem for all time, while woman would on | ly give her six month’s vacation, and would be willing, too, at the expira tion of that time to go down to the gate and meet her, it is quite evident that*she hadn't met the distinguish ed gentleman from Butler. Pru dence never gets outside his gate, and in his public life it can be said that his only fault is cautiousness That bump is abnormally developed aud will keep him from stepping out boldly, I fear, and winning the dis tinction he certainly merits De | Armond seldum receives a line of newspaper mention, and yet he makes a better speech —a more read able speech—than Builey or Pierce. The above is from Will Collier, the Washington correspondent of the Nevada Post. Bat Mr Collier is not as thoroughly acquainted with Judge DeArmond as some of his more intimate friends. The *cold- ness” ascribed to DeArmond is merely modesty, pure and simple. Few truer, better, more sensible men than Judge DeArmond ever lived. He is a statesman of marked ability aud a geutleman of pure heart aud keen sympathy, alive to every noble impulse and finer feel- ing. But DeArmond is not a_poli- and the seldom show upon the exterior of such characters. Many a sundered heart oft bleeds from sorrow or distress, with no outward mark of sadness— no copious tlow of tears—to show the pain and anguish that is going David A. DeArmond is true to the core, honorable, upright, fearless und full of sympathy for every just cause, aud ever ready to ‘strike a blow for the right, or make persoual sacrifice for humanity.

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 mon- ey of equal intrinsic exchangeable value, such equality to be secured through international agreement or by such safe guards of legislation as will assure 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 mark- ets and in 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 safe system of bimetallism as will maintain at all times the equal power of every del- lar coined or issued by the United States in the market and in pay- ment of debts.

The Ex-Attorney General's Only Daughter Ends Her Lite. Washington, Oct. 27.—Miss Daisy Garland, daughter of the ex-United States Attorney General Garland, committed suicide at ber home in this city by shooting herself this morning. She was 34 year old and} is thought to have been insane at the time. Miss Garland was the only daugh- ter of Judge Garlaud and as Mrs. Garlaud died in 1877, she repre- jsented the Garland family in all) social functions during President Cleveland's first term. Nine child- ren were the result of Mr. Garland’s marriage and of these five died in early years. The three surviving are young meu who have been attending college in Kentucky, Mr. Garland’s na ive state. Miss Garlan] had spent a very. pleasant evening with Ler father and brothers last night at their home and ; retired in good spirits. After break fast she retired to her room where her brother Will went shortly after | to talk with her concerning a theater party. He knocked at the door and receiving no response bursted into the room and found his sister lying onthe floor dead. He smelt gas and thought that she had been asphyxiated, but upon examination found a bullet hole in her left side and on the floor near lay an old re volver. About two months ago Miss Gar- land suddenly left home and was | found in Baltimore but since that | time nothing peculiar had been no ticed. The Canadian-Australian steam- ship Miowera, struck a reef and was wrecked at the mouth of Honolulu Harbor. Washington, D. C, Oct. 29.—Rep- 'resentatives Dockery, Tarsney and DeArmond of the Missouri delega- tion have been urged to take part in the campaigns in Iowa and Virginia. Tarsney is now in Virginia and will make severa! speeches Neither of the three Missouri rep- | resentatives have made any definite | promises to speak after congress has adjourned. Brings comfort and improvement and | tends to personal enjoyment when | tightly used. The many, who live bet- ter than others and enjoy life more, with less expenditure, by more promptly adapting the world’s best products to the needs of physical being, will attest the value to health of the pure liquid | laxative principles embraced in the remedy, Syrup of Figs. Its excellence is due to its presenting in the form most acceptable and pleas- ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly | beneficial properties of a perfect lax- ative; effectually cleansing the system, dispelling colds, headaches and fevers and permanently curing constipation. It has given satisfaction to millions and met with the approval of the medical | profession, because it acts on the Kid- neys, Liver and Bowels without weak- ening them and it is perfectly free from every objectionable substance. Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug- gists in 50c and $1 bottles, but it is man- ufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. only, whose name is printed on every package, also the name, Syrup of Figs, | and being well antoceed will not accept any substitute if offered.
