On taking the chair Vollmer said: "We live, it is true, under a Democratic administration, both state and nation.- al, but both in state and nation wo are cursed by Rerublican laws. Let us not forget, nor permit the people to for get, that we still have the blesS'd Mo Kinley bill, that latest buv moat devel oped oftsboot of tbe poisonous plaut of protection. Let us not forget, espec ially, that that cowardly makeshift denounce 1 by the National platform of last year, tbe Sherman bill, discred ited now by its own author, still stands upon tbe statute books. Our party is even held responsible fortbo condition of the treasury of the United States, yet four years ago it went out of power, leaving a surplus of a hundred million dollars. Both tbe MeKIuley and Sher man bills have got to go, and tbe people will sustain us in the good work.

A scrapbook should not be composed of miscellaneous material, but confined to tome special purpose. Let tbe collector de cide rigidly whether pictures or printed texts are to be collected. In plotures tbe Collector should con (1 no himself to n definite subject, whether portraits, historical land scapes or some brunch of natural history. A book of fumous -authors may be collected front publishers' catalogues alone. In al most every city or county a volume of local scebery may bo collected. The collector fthoutd especially seek to savo what ia like ly to bo lost. For a book In which to paste the cuttings almost any bound volume will do, especially if its pages show a wide mar (dn, and the print can be readily, covered by two widths of ordinary newspaper clip pings. The margin may be used for notes, Including dates and a few explanatory mem oranda. The clippings should be kept for a week or so before they are pasted down because a second Judgment may rule them out, ljls quite Bate to advise collectors that no cut-' ting will do unless it bids fair to bo fresh and intelligible a year after it has been hon ored with a place in tbe scrnpbook. If the pages become too thick for tbe cover, cut out two or three leaved after each page fill ed with the cllpplugs. When there Is the slightest possibility that a scrnpbook may tie used for publishing purposes or that any of its entries may be cut out for other uses, cover one page only, tint on the pago used the clippings should bo packed closely to gether. If possible, each clipping should retain the "rule" which marks the eud of a print ed paragraph or poem. The column lines need not bo retained. In fact, it Is best to cut newspapers always along these lines. Ragged edges of course should be avoided, and the mucilage with which tho clippings ore pasted down should boused sparingly, lest it ooze through the paper or exude from under the edges. Flour paste is better than mucilage, and what is known as photog rapher's paste is excellent. Literary World. Familiar 'iu ut EgIUh Illrili. The number nf birds "dicky birds," shall we call them f which are famllarly known by Christian names is probably much larger than most people supposes. Besides Tom Tit, there Is Tom Noddy, the puffin (Tammle Norrie or Tanimas In Scot land); Tom Harry, the skua, and Tom Pud ding, tho dabebick. The Jacks, as we should suppose, are commoner still Jack Daw, Jack Sparrow, Jack Snipe, Jock Kicker (the goldfinch), Jack Curlew (the whlmbrel) and Jack Saw (the goosander). The town sparrow is surely Jock rather thun Dick, at least when he Is given his name in full, although bis somewhat dis tant cousin, the hedge sparrow, is certainly Dick Durnock.

Interest in tho financial discussion in congress was transferred to the senate, when Senator Voobeea made a great speech, justifying his position in voting for the uncondl tional repeal of tho Bherman act. Near ly one-third of the entire membership gathered in the rear seats, aud the gal leries above were packed to suffocation. The speeob of Senator Voobeea wrs one ofhla greatest efforts, and while the senator did not abate one Jot of bee past bimetallic record, the burdon of his ar gument was directed to proving that tho repeal of tho Sherman act waa a proposition which, as a necessity, could have no material effect on the merit of blmetallsnr as public policy. Allen gave notice of an amendment be would nfler to Voobeea' bill. It proposes, to add to tho repealing clause of that bill a provision that hereafter standard sil ver be coined into dollars, halves, quar ters, and dimes at tho present ratio ol sixteen to oue, under the same condi tions as to mintage and other charge euforced In rotation to tfe coinage ol t?old, and that tho secretary of tbe treas ury shall, without unnecessary dojay, cause all the silver bullion owned by tho government to be coined into stand ard silver dollars, to be legal tender. Voobeea then took tbe floor and ad dressed ithe senate 1b advocacy of the bill reported by him, discontinuing the purchase of silver bullion. He explained that the action of tbe president in convening the extra ses sion was owing to tho loss of confidence In tho financial world. This loss of confidence be said, was not in tbe cred it of the government, wblon waa better today than any other on tbe globe. He praised tbe administration for refus ing to gratify tbe demand of capital lata for tho issue of (300,000,000 more bonds He summarized tbe elements of tbe na tion's financial strength within its own borders, and regretted tbar legislation bad checked our foreign trade, and had left us today without a commercial friend la the world. He bad faith that the giant evil which crippled tho com merce of the country would be remov ed with tbe other evils wbiob chal lenged attention and action. If tbe true greatness of the country were stud ied it would be Been that financial panics and alarms could have no faun datlon here. There was another ex ceedingly powerful test of tbe govern ment's credit. Money was simply a medium for exchange os values; money was a creature, congress Its creator. Gold and its alleged Intrinsic value went for naught as a circulating med ium unless tbe coin bore the stamp of the government. The same official sump on silver or paper at onoe ennobles them to the same quality with gold in purchasing power, so matter how debased and valueless tbe materia may have become as commodities by slnstcr or unwise legislation. There were nine different currencies used In tbe transaction of business in this coun try, which should be uniform in pur chasing power, ho as to make them in terchangeable. Never but once had these currencies been discredited by tbe government, and that wonld never happen again. It was the duty of the government to furnish a sound, reliable, constitutional money for the people. At tbe evening session of the bouse, Ellis, Dem., of Kentuoky, spoke ia fa vor of free coinage. Kalg, Dem., of Maryland, and De Forest, Dem., of Connecticut, spoke vigorously for the repeal of the purchasing clause of tbe Bherman act. He asserted that tbe cry for relief came uot so much from the rich aud powerful as from tbe bumble poor, from the worthy and Industrious masses. Arnold, Dein., of Missouri, denied that there was any condition In the country to justify the demone- Highcstof all in LcaveningTWer. Latest tJ. S.

In the unmo of the farmers and laborers be protested against the minority of tho Democratic party joining tho bulk of Ilepub leans In repealing tho Bherman law. Tracy, Democrat, of New York, vohomeutly asserted that when tbe vote oame a ma jority bf tbe Democrats would be found voting for tbe unconditional repeal of the purchasing clause. Williams ie- plied that would never be In this world. He predicted thai after tho next elec tion tho monometalist Democrats would find tbemsolvea with protection Dem ocrats either at home or on tho Repub lican side. At the conclusion of Wll (lams' speech the bouse adjourned. Unless there are changes In tho sen nate, which are not looked for, the majority against tho three appointed senators will be three or four, rievorul votes, which will not be according to the honest oc nvlotlons of the senatorn but either for personal or silver consid erations, will be for their admission. Benator Mitchell, who baa been con ducting tbe fight against their ad mis: slon, said today that be had uo doubt that tbe vote would be agalust tbem. IEAOH2S AMD PUNOH.
