in
the House Hews from
. the Capital.
TVAsnrN'GToy, July 10 The senate re
sumed consideration of the conference re
port on the sil er bill ind was addressed
by Mr Morgan in opposition to the report
Mr. Morgan spoke for three hours and
closed with an appeal to senators not to
alio v the senator from Ohio (Mr Sher
man) to thrust his stiletto again mto
Eih er.
He was followed by Mr Call, who also
argued against the conference bill
Mr. Plumb said that in the particulars
which he regarded as essential the bill was
compnrativ el y unobjectionable, suppos
ing always that a compromise had
to be made He had been surprised
to find that in regard to the free coinage of
siher the cnate had been more advanced
than the houe Free coinage was an ad
vantage because it took the monej supply
of the country from the suggestion of con
trol by any bbdj, leaving it onlj to the op
eration of natural forces The conference
bill would give to the country as much
money during the next j eai as free coin
age or sih er vv ould giv e The bill is a long
ptride m the right direction, a much longer
Btep than was rhoact of 1S78 in lefeience
to the conditions then prevailing A
longer fcterj because of the increased
amount ot treasury notes that will
be issued under it. Once out, these
notes will staj out and will
strengthen the whole fabric of indi ldual
and governmental credit The will be as
popular as the greenbacks were and will
be just as permanent! a part of the cir
cul ition
"If this bill becomes a law my own be
lief io that so easily and nicelj will it
work, so helpful will it be to all the people
of the United States, o vviselj will it com
mend itself to the good judgment of the
people that the next step w ill be free coin
age and a short step too, token with the
practical concurrence of the American peo
pie I shall vote for the conference bill,
regretting that it is no better, im
mensely glad it is no vvoise
Iff the house of . representativ es
had come up to the standard set
bj the senate, we should haehad, in my
judgment, a better bill than this one "We
should have freed the senate from the
necessity of further legislation on the sub
ject Tailing to get the confidence of the
house, sitting under the shadow of an
executiv e v eto, that has been freely threat
ened (no doubt without authority), we
fch ill get out of this whole controversy
more than we shall hao eer gamed since
the d.ij of the gieenb lek issue, to the finan
ci il well being of the countrv We shall
get that which will prevent senous hnan
ci ll disturbance in the coming season It

DEMOCRATIC OBSTRUCTION.
The House Spends the Day Discussing
This Vice.
"WSHlM,TO, Julv 10 Praer having
been delivcitd the point of no quorum was
raised A tall of the house was de
manded b in ens TOnajs, 100 members
w ero annoniK ea as p ured Furthei pro
ccedings undti the call weie dispensed
with by 12" Aoas to o9 nays and jesteulaj s
journal was read
Mr. Enloe moed that lournal be cor
reeted in th it it represented him as pies
ent and oting on a eeitam measure w hen
in fact, he was not present.
Mr PithiKii of Illinois, and Mr m
ianis, of Illinois then rose to correct the
journal but the sneaker pro ttm (Mr
Buirows, of Michignn) lecognized Mr.
Cannon, of Illinois, who moed the ap
proval of thejouriuland on tb it dem Hid
ed the previous question Despite Mr.
ritliian'spiotestHtions the previous ques
tion was put and cn and navs ordeied.
1 he previous question was ordered v ens
304 n.ivs.V the speaker counting a quo
rum Mr Ad nils, of Illinois, voted in the
negative with the Deniotrats
In the di bate w Inch followed, Mr I lth
nn of Illinois, said that the journal was
incorrect, in that it recorded him as pres
ent and not oting on .a certain roll call
vostcrda Ho further stat ed that he had
been recognized bv the speaker to iask that
the journal be comcted He h id been
taken off the floor and the gentleman from
Vrkansas had been recognized He had
been present at the beginning of the roll
call vestcrdav, but he had left before his
name hart be'en culled The worst part of
this whole proceeding wa that when the
error was pointed out, his colleague (Mr
Cannon) sought to suppress the truth and
publish a ho bv ordering the previous
q Mr Cannon, of Illinois, said that his col
league (Mr. Fitlnnn) had admitted that he
was present during the roll call
Mr Fthian said that he had not been
present w hen his name had been called
Mr Cannon replied that that made no
diflireine The lule could be evaded bv a
man stepping out of the hall a second be
fore his name was called and stepping
b ick a second after it had been allien the
rule then amounted to nothing Ever
Miicethedav before v esterdav the Repub
licans had been trjing to do the business
of the house His colleague (Mr
Pnv son l had been ready to proceed with
the" land forfeiture bill It was obvious
the Democrat did not want to legislate.
They did uot want the diplomatic and
consular bill to be considered Now to his
own side of tho house it was ev ident that
for the rest of the session, as in the past, if
legislation was to be had, the Republican
representatives must be in their places and
must do the legislating Republican ap
plause J There were more important bills
to be passed, such as the "original package"
and oankruptcy bills There were sitting
vv rongfully in this house members who
were not entitled to sit here, and the Re
publicans owed it to themselves to seat
the men who were entitled to the seats
Republican applause
Mr. McMilhn, of Tennessee, said that
the gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Cannon)
had said that the Democrats did not want
to consider the diplomatic and consular
appropriation bill That bill appropriated
1 j percent more than the current law. Yet
the gentleman having it in charge at
tempted to push it through after ten min
utes' debate Against that the Democrats
had protested. The Republicans had
twenty majority and the gentleman had
given out a hint that it would be larger
Why should the Republicans complain
of the Democratic side when they had the
responsibility attending a large majont
which they had made by question
able methods If they wanted to
do business, let them bring their
members back from fishing, from elec
tioneering and from summer resorts and
they would not put their speaker and
their clerks to the necessity of keeping a
constant vigil to see who was present and
not voting
Mr Grosvenor, of Ohio, said that when
the Democratic party obstructed the legis
lation of the country, he did not complain,
nor did he wonder at the present exhibi
tion of obstructiv e tactics made by the
Democrats of the house Tho school in
which the Democratic party had been
trained w as a school of obstruction It
was totally incompetent to be a leader of
public sentiment, to project an new ideas
of polic or to carry into actual execution
any afluraative policy it might advo
cate before the people While the
country had been going forward with rapid
strides, the Democratic party had stood
holding on to the coat tails of progress
"Send for the Republican members if
something was needed here Do not de
pend on the Democratic party, for it is in
capable, morally, politically and in ev ery
other way of doing an thing but hold on
The people had demanded of the present
house pension legislation, the Republicans
had given it to them The had asked for
a rev lsion of the tariff and the Republicans
had revised it to the satisfaction of the
American people and to the disgust of the
Democratic party and the manufacturers
of Euiope The people had asked for
a silver bill and the Republicans were
about to give it to them w ithout the help
of the Democratic party The people had
asked for a federal election bill The Re
publicans had passed one, and the highest
evidence that they had done right was the
wailing of Rachel "who mourns for her
childien and will not be comforted" be
cause they would not be in the next con
gress Republican laughter
Mr Grosvenor then proceeded to criticise
the Democrats for their obstructive tac
tics Let them be continued, he said Let
them keep it up Let them abuse their
constitutional privilege to order recalls,
but let it be understood that tho American
people knew what they were doing and
wh the were doing it The American
people would decide between the Repub
lican part and the Democratic part and
with their verdict he would be entirely
content
The journal was then approv ed yeas
103, nas81
The confeience report on the dinomatic
and consular appropriation bills was

Mr Funston, of Kansas, submitted and
the house p issed the conference leport on

'Ihe house then went into the committee

chair, on the land grant forfeiture bill
Pending discussion, the committee rose

Kansas City-, Mo , July 10 A local pa
per prints the following on Kansas and
Missouri crop prospects
Varied reports of the condition of crops
in Missoun and Kansas are being sent out
In some portions of both states heavy and
much needed rains have fallen, while in
other sections the corn crop is actually
suffering for water and unless there is a
change within a week there will be a big
falling off in thevield In Kansas where
rain is needed hot winds have hurt the
corn, although ev en in these localities a
good. ram at once would bring about a bet
ter condition of affairs and insure at least
an av erage crop
The best and most general rams in both
Missouri and Kansas fell Tuesdav night
and esterday morning In Kansas
Jennings' rain chart shows that there
have been local showers m the Sunflower
state where they were most needed except
in the east central portion Douglas,
Shaw nee, Oaage and a few adjoining coun
ties hav e had no rainfall of an consequence
for more than two weeks Jul 3 there
was a light shower, but it was not suf
ficient to afford more than tempor ir re
lief to the crops in the suffering districts
"I do not think there has been sufficient
drouth to matenally injure the com crop
in any section of the state," said Secietar
Mohler of the state board of agriculture,
"but hot winds are greatl to be feared
The corn can stand a great deal of hot
we ither Where it is tasseling ram is
alwavs needed, but in the southern part of
the state there have been good showers "
This pretty generally explains the situa
tion in Kansas It may be seen from this
outline, as well as fiom the telegrams
printed below that the situation in Kansas
is by no means alarming, w lule in Missouri
there seems to be little cause for complaint
Bams have fallen pretty generally over
the state within the past week and good

some advance in condition where It was
lower in June, in Michigan. Indiana. Illi

Ohio, Kentucky, the Pacific const and in
the southern states. The general average
is 7d.i against 7S.1 last month, and the re
auction is mostly in the non-commercial
distnets, the commercial nppiy stes,
taken together, making nearly ihe same
av erage a in June

ington 93. Taken together the winter and
spnne wheat makes an average of 82.1 m
steadb 82 4 last month The returns
from the south are very unfavorable, indi
cating scarcely more than half of a crop.
In Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Missoun
and Kansas the least injured fields mani
fest! improved during the last
month and promise better results
in the threshing, while the bad
ly winterkilled were worse but light
er and more chaffy than was expected. The
average was slightly advanced in all these
states Some counties in Kansas claim
sixteen bushels, some twenty per acre and
reports the best crop ever grown in quality
and vield, while others admit damage and
disappointment. Spnng wheat in the Mis
sissippi river states has had abundant
moisture, while there is considerable com
plaint of droughb m the Missouri valley.
A small increase in the area of corn is
reported. The largest proportional exten

Ohio valley and relatively high in the
corn growing states further west The
southern states generally report about 90
There has been a sev ere decline in the
condition of oats, w Inch has fallen from
S9 6 to SL6 It has been the heav lest in the

A LIGHT OUTPUT.
Mixveapolis, Minn , July 10 The
Northwestern Miller says There were
thirteen mills which ground flour last
week, but they were mostly of the smaller
or medium class, and the aggregate output
fell somew hat below that of the preceding
week The total production was 73.3J0
barrels against 53,833 barrels tho week be
fore, and 93,4w for the corresponding week
in 1SS9 and 1,171,100 barrels in 1SS3 Under
the stimulus of a stronger flour market
a desire is manifested to get more of the
mills m operation The flour market is
very strong, though the higher prices
asked on account of the advance in w heat
have lessened the demand for flour There
has been a v ery good export demand for
bakers' during the p it w eek, and this
gracle has been sold ahead b some firms
for future deliv ery as far as August The
domestic market is taking a fair amount
of patents
BIG DROP IN BEER.
Chicago, 111 , July 10 A big fight is on
among the brewers of the city which
promises to be exceedmgl bitter and
which mav not be decided until the funds
of one side or the other are exhausted.
The battle lies between the English svndi
eate, which has bought up a number of
smaller brewers w ho Ii iv e not been taken
into the combination or who hav o refused
to become partners to it The result of the
light up to today was a drop in the w hole
sale price of beer from $o a b irrel to s3 50
It is believed in brewing circles that the
war will go on until beer will be sold at
less than 2 a barrel

Archbishop Ireland on the Union
of State and Parish
Schools.
Protestant Teachings in the State Schools
Par Preferable to the Pres
ent Secularitj.
Two Plans Proposed for the Teaching of
the Popular Eeligion of the Section
The Work of the National Edu
cational Association Offi
cers Elected.
St. PAUL,Minn , July 10 The third day's
session of the National Educational asso
ciation -was called to order promptl,
another immense crowd being present
The first subject of the morning w as "Com
pulsory laws and their enforcement"
Archbishop Ireland, of St Paul, read the
first paper on the topic, "The state school
and tfie parish school is union between
impossible'"
Archbishop Ireland said, m sub
stance. "I will be permitted to
make, at once, my profession of
faith I declare most unbounded lovalt
to the constitution of ni country I de
sire no favors I claim no rights that are
not in consonance w ith its letter and its
spirit The rights which the constitution
allow I do claim and, in doing so, I am but
the truer aud more loal American "
He sas he upholds the parish school
but would have all schools state schools
The children must be imparted instruc
tion in no mean degree, that the man may
learn himself and earn an honest compe
tence and acquit himself of the duties
which souet exacts from him for its own
prospent and life The imp irtmg of thus
instruction is primanl the function of the
child's parent The state intervenes vv hen
ever the family can not or will not do the
work which is needed "I unreservedl
favor the state laws making instruction
compulsory Insti uction is so much need
ed by each citizen for his ow n sake and for
that of societ that the father vv ho neglects
to prov ide for his child's instruction sins
against the child and acramst societ , aud
it behooves the state to punish
him Of course firat principles
must not be forgotten and in
struction is primanl the function of the
parent The parent eujos the right to
educate his child in the manner suitable
to himself,provided always that the educa
tion given m this manner suffices for the
ulterior duties of the child toward himself
and societ Thecompulsor laws recently
enacted in certain states of the union are
to my judgment objection ible in a few
other incidental el mses These lam con
fident will readil be altered in approach
ing legislative sessions With the body
of the 1 iws and their general intent in the
direction of hastening amongst us uni
versal instruction 1 am in most hearty ac
cord The seculai instruction in the state
schools is our pride and onr glory and I
regret that there is a necessity for the ex
lstauce oi the parish school
The spirit of the parish school if
not the school itselt is wide
spread among American Protestants and
is m ide manifest bv their determined op
position to the exclusion of scripture read
ing and other devotional exercises from
the school room
"There is dissatisfaction with the state's
school as at present organized '1 he stato
school, it is s ml, tends to the elimination
of religion from the minds and hearts of
the countrv This is ni griev .nice against
the state schools toda I am a Catholic, of
course, to the tmieat fibre of mv heart, tin
flinching and uncompromising mm faith,
but God forbid that I desiie to see in
America, the ground which Protestantism
occupies exposed to the chillmganddevast
in" blast of unlclicf Let me be vour all
in stemming the swelling tide of irrcligoii,
the death knell of Chnstiamt on the pait
of .Christian civ llizatiou, the fatal foe of
souls anil of eountr The st ite school
is non religious Itignores religion There
is, and there can be no positive rebg
ious teaching where tho principle of
non sectarianism rules It follows then
that the cmld will grow up in the belief
that religion is of minor importance and
religious indifference will le his cieed
The great mass of children receive no lire
side lesson and attend no bundav school,
and the great mass of the children of
America are growing up without religion
The state needs not teach n ligion but for
the sake of its people and for its own sake
it should iermit and faciliate the action of
the church, but it hindt rs this action The
mind which it polishes is a two edge sword
an instrument for good, an mstniment
for ev il. It were fatal to polish it without
the assurance that in all likelihood it
shall le an instrument for good. You sh
the state school teaches morals but niorals
without religious principle do not exist
Seeulansts and unbelievers will interpose
their rights. I do not impose my religion
on them, nor should they impose their re
ligion or secularism on us Again, there
are differences among Chmtians. ami
Catholics would not inflict their belief up
on non-Catholic, nor should Protestant
ism be inflicted upon Catholic children
Some compromises become necessary 1 ax
ation without representation is wroag.and
while the majonty pays school taxes their
belief should be "spected As a holution
of thedifhcult,I would permeate the regu
lar state schooi with the religion of the
ohilriren of the Iand.be it as Protestantism
can be, and I would, as the y do in Eng-
lnnd. tmiv for the secular instruction given

HELIGOLAND'S CESSION.
Lord Salisbury Explains the Anglo-Germanic
Convention.
Lovdon. Julv 10 Lord Salisbury moved
the second reading of the Heligoland cos
sion bill in the house of lords today. He
said that the island had been ot some ser
vice to England during the struggle with
X.ipoleon Since then it had neither been
fortified nor defended and England never
had any intention to fortify it For strat
egic purposes it was worthless There was
no reason win the inhabitants of Heligo
land should oppose tho cesaion of the island
to German.
Referring to the Vfncan clauses of tho
convention, he contended that as long as
it was in tho hands of another power. Eng
lish interests northwards could be inter
fered wall, but under the convention there
was not a chance of interference until tho
confines of Egvpt were reached Re
gardmg Zinzibur he urged that an
exclusive English protectorate would
assist m the suppression of the
slave trade and develog the commerce
of Englaud and India. There was no
ground for apprehending a difficult over
the convention with an European power
The agreement was necessiirv if ouly to
prevent the dangers of a conflict between
the English and the Germans Both wero
animated bv an energetic desire for ac
quisition. Both showed a strong will and
little restraint of fetdmg 111 their
endeavors to secure supremacy and
influence amon the native chiefs
and tribes Anv collision was mag
nitied by the press and excited national
passions The governments might be un
able to resist the contagion of popular ex
citement Thus a happ sympath be
tween two kindred countries might be ex
posed to serious danger The agreement
was a gam to both sides, each obtaining
vv hat suited its ow n purpose .md neither
having an absolute advautage over the
other. The bill passed the second reading
without division
