The free coinage bill passed by the senate Saturday has been sent to the house, and it will be interest- img to see the congressmen show their hands when a vote is taken. | es | President Cleveland will not be} given an opportunity to veto the | free coinage bill passed by the sen- ate. The republican congressmen will saye him that trouble. Why didn’t the commander-in- chief of the G. A. R. kick when the republican eongress reduced the pension appropriation asked $50,000. A howl would have gone up if a democratic congress had done the like. The state executive committee which met at Excelsior Springs the 25th fixed the basis of representa- tion to the state convention at Se- dalia April 15, at one delegate for every 500 or fraction of 250 votes east for the democratic electors in 1892. eated by the republican house it is said he stands ® good show of getting an appoint- ment from the president, as his name has been mentioned in con nestion with the office of minister to Germany, and with the vacancy on the United States fish commission. re The democratic national commit- tee has selected the Coliseum as the plaee for holding the next national convention, and has also chosen the Palmer house as it’s headquarters. Phe Coliseum is being erected on the site of Buffalo Bill’s Wild West show at the World's Fair, Chicago. The republican bosses in Kansas Gity and the A. P. A.’s are having a monkey and parrot time of it as to who shall control the state republi ean convention and who shall make the nominations. The catering of the republicans to the A. P. A. vote has gotten them into a serious soape. In the last election the re | publicans accepted the support of the A. P. A. and took all the office, now the A. P. A.’s wish to reverse things and take the offices for them- selves, and a merry row is going on} The House election committee, | having charge of the contest between 2ongiessman Tarsney and Van Horn, have decided, by strict party vote, $o recommend the seating of Van Hora and the ousting of Mr. Tars- ney. Should the recommendations ef the eommitte be concurred in by the house, it will be the second time Wan Horn has stolen a seat in con- grees te which he was not elected. Jn the election a year ago Tarsney had a big majority and it is down- right brute-force robbery in the re- publican majority in congress to take his seat from bim, and they will gain nothing in their rascality.

The coming year will be a period memorable in the history of the world, if but a part of the plans of the United States government and European nations is carried out. In the United States there will be the liveliest presidential campaign ever held, and the fifty fourth congress, now in session, will furnish exceed- ingly interesting debates on the tar. iff and financial questicns until June. | There will be several exciting State elections and many great political speeches. Every one will watch with interest the progress of the Venezu- elan commission's inquiry, the re sult of the wars in Cuba, in South Africa, in Turkey, and the outcome of other complications now arising in the old world. It is a remarkable coincidence that at the beginning of a year such rich promise of stirring news the greatest metropolitan newpaper in the United States—The St. Louis! Republic—ahould reduce it’s price to $6 a year, or to less than two! centsa day. This low price now places The Republic within the reach of everyone.

C., February 1.— The long contest over the silver that body having passed the free ail- ver coinage substitute of the House bond bill by the decisive vote of 42 to 35,a majority of seven for free silver. This result was reached at two o'clock today after three hours of caustic debate and sharp parliament ary fencing. The pubblic interest in the culmination of the protracted struggle was shown by crowded galleries and a fuil attendance on the floor, seventy-seven Senators being present and the other paired. Bar on Von Thielmann, the German am- bassador, occupied a front seat in the diplomatic gallery, showing keen interest in the final vote. Members of the House crowded the chamber filling available seats, and standing room in the rear and side areas. It had been expected that a final vote would be taken at 2 o'clock, but a conflict of opinion arose us to the agreewent, resulting in considerable bitterness aad personal feeling. Many umendments were pendiag when 2 o'clock arrived, and these were summarily cut off by a strict construction of the agreement, al though the differences over the agreement itself held off the vote for an hour beyond the time set. The result was such a foregone conclu- sion that little excitement er surprise was occasioned by the announcement of the passage of the substitue. THIS I8 THE BILL THAT PASSED. Washington, D. C., Feb. 1.—The silver subject for the House bond bill, passed by the Senaie to-day, provides for the free coinage of sil- ver and for the coinage of the seign- oragein the Treasury to redeem greenbacks and Treasury notes in either gold or silver. The retirement of all notes of less denomination than $10 is also provided for. Fol- lowing is the text: From and after the passage of this act the mints of the United States shall be open to the coinage of silver, and there shall be coined dollars of the weight of 412} grains Troy, of a silver dollars nine-tents fine, as provided by the act of Jan- uary 18, 1837, and upon the same terms and svbject to limitations and | provisions of law regulating the coin age and legal tender quality of gold and whenever the said coins herein provided for shall be reeeived into the Treasury, certificates may be issued thereon in the manner now provided by law. Section 2.

Decide to Censure Bayard. Washington, D. C., Feb. 1.—The house committee on foreign affairs this afternoon adopted, by a party vote, a resolution censuring Ambas sador Bayard for his two speeches at Edinburg and Boston. The resolution quotes the pas- sages of these two speeches which are condemned in it’s preamble, and then expresses the sense of the house that the utterances were im- proper and that Mr. Bayard is de serving of censure therefor. It continues tkat it is improper for our representatives abroad to condemn any political party or policy in America, and that such actions tend to destroy their influence and impair the confidence whish they should always command at home and abroad. Those voting for the reso- lution were: Hitt of Illinois, Adams of Pennsylvania, Quigg of New York, Cousins of Iowa, Taft of Ohio, Smith of Michigan, Heatwole of Minnesota and Pearsons of North Carolina, republicans, and Newlands of Nevads, silver republiean. Me- Creary of Kentucky, Price of Louis iana, Tucker of Virginia, Dinsmore of Arkansas and Money cf Missia- sippi, democrats, voted against it.

Then, too, the time is so short be- tween now and the convention that we should stand no possible show even if we should try to do some- thing. For thut reason we have cancelled all contracts we had made with distinguished sound money democrats in other states to come out to Missouri and speak for us.

His Name Will Not be Presented to the St. Louis Conyention. Indianapolis, Ind, Feb. 3.—Cap- tain John K.

John K. Gowdy, Indianapolis, Indiana. Sir: In view of the resolutions | passed by the State central commit tee at its recent meeting, and of the | fact that the delegates to the natien | al Republican convention are soon to be chosen in this State, I have eon-| cluded that some statement from me | as to my wishes and purpose should now be made to my Indiana friends. Hitherto I have declined to speak to the public upon this matter, but scores of friends to whomI have! talked and many scores more to! whom I have written will recognize | in this expression the substance of | what I have said to them. To every | one who has proposed to promote | my nomination, I have said “No.” | There never has been an hour since I left the White House that I have felt a wish to return to it. My Indiana friends have been most devoted and faithful, and I am their grateful debtor. The Repub. lican party has twice in national con- ventions given me its indorsement, | and that is emougbh.

Literary Notes. The Youth’s Companion begins the New Year with several note worthy changes, which include the use of larger faced type, the addi- tion of departineuts devoted to Cur rent Events and Scientific Items and the enlargement and extended scope of the Editorial department. The character of The Companies is, and will be, unghanged. Three generations of Amerisan parents have learned to trust it. Its ability to entertain its readers of all ages will be maintained and promoted by the sume enterprise and thoughtful care that have governed its columns during the many years in which it has sought the confidence and the favor of the public.
