WASHINGTON, Feb. 22, 1910.


Well, ''the long agony is over" Sub
Treasury, and hard money currency
have been laid on the shelf. You will
perceive by the Presidents Message. and
the Report of the Secretary of the Trea-
sury, that the government is literally at
stand for means to pay the public cred
| ltors, and asks for power forthwith to
issue Treasury notes TO the amount now,
of about four millions, and probably five
millions more prior TO the 4th of July
next. :'To this complexion it has come
at last" after debates, protracted and
painful, documents, mes sages, pamphlets,
speeches, public meetings and orations,
on the beauty of the hard money cur
rency, the government is under the ne
cessIty of asking, not for authority to
make loan, but to issue four or five
millions, an paper, to meet the current
expenses of the government. In paper
asks to use the despised credit of the
people. What commentary this is on
the ruinous course of the administration,
compelled to pursue measures which
they have long earnestly and zealously
denounced. When the Secretary made
his report TO Congress, those who were
U.s. with tSAfitl1tCSs Sdtu q

revenue was sufficient to meet the expen-
ses oil tne government whereas, it was
evident. from his own showing that while
overrating the receipts, he has omitted
TO state that payments fell due sometime
before even the estimated receipts could
be made available; and SO the President
has said in his message, which is by no
means an open, candid exposure of af-
fairs, saying with Bonaparte, "Finaace
icants money and must hare ill., but

Thus the affair stands, and in the face
of this condition of things. let them press

and hard money currency if they please.

cious Journal, the Charleston Courier
1t says:
A great INSTRUMENTATION meeting,
OF the Wings and Conservatives of the
District of Columbia, was held at our
National capitol on the evening of the
18th inst.
The Intelligencer, describes the assem-
blags as a most animated and imposing
ssmultitude," marching with banners and
transpa rencies to the place of meeting.
A number of eloquent addresses were
delivered, among others, by Messrs.
FendaH. Coke, J. H. Bradley, Col. Brent
and Gen. Jones, and resolutions were
adopted responding to the Harrisburg
nominations. After the meeting adjourn
ed, a suggestion was suddenly made and
enthusiastically adopted, that the meet
ing should formin procession and m1rch
TO Mr.. Clay's lodgings. This was done;
and Mr. Clay, in compliance with their
request, appeared at his door, and utter
ed a cordial and impressive response to
their greetings. The procession then
moved to the lodgings of Henry A. Wise,
(this we regret, for we are sorry to see
a token of respect offered to that man Of
violence) who rose from his sick bed and
addressed the multitude, and was follow
ed by Mr.. Stanley Of N. G. and Mr.
Profit of Indiana, who lodge in the same
house with Mr.. Wise. Mr.. Stanley was
not allowed to cease speaking as soon as
he intended. the enthusiastic crying out

In the United States Senate, February
81, Mr.. Buchanan's resolution for in
curing into the expediency of amending
the Constitution of the United States, Sc
as 10 give to the General Government
the specified power to suppress the cir
culation OF small notes, was further de-
bated and agreed to. Oar Senator, Mr..
Grundy. is represented as having made
quite Conservative speech on the coca
sion, declaring his opposite to the theory
! of exclusively hard money, and his conf
dence in mixed currency. He was for
reforming and regulating the banks-not
for destroying them. The Chair named
as the select committee on the resolution,
Messrs. Buchanan. Grundy, Crittenden,
Henderson. The Assumption question
was next taken up, and debated by Mr..
Strange and Mr.. Henderson. Mr.. Tall
madge followed on the same question,

In the House, February %, vote of
some importance was taken on the New
Jersey election question. A resolution,
originally moved by Mr.. Cave Johnson,
to the purport that the Election Commit
tee should report the set of claimants
having the largest number of votes, was
SO amended, on motion of Mr.. Fillmore
OF New York, as to read as follows:
Resolred, That the Committee of Elec-
tons be instructed to report this House
such papers and such proceedings as
they may desire to have printed by or
der of the House; and that they be in
structed also to report forthwith which
five of the ten individuals claiming seats
from the State of New Jersey received
the greatest number of lamful votes from
the whole State for Representatives in
Congress of the United States at the
election of 1888, in said State, with all
the evidence Of that fact in their posses
sion: proUided, that nothing herein con-
tanned shall be so construed as to pre-
vent or delay the action Of said commit
tee in taking testimony, and deciding the
said case upon the merits of the election.
The vote on Mr.. FiIlmore's amendment
to insert the word kayfnE--stood 80 to /
80, which gave the Speaker the casting
vote in its favor. The resolution, as /
amended, was then agreed to without a
division. As it stands, it amounts to an
