The Nation, which enjoys the ines
Unable advantage of being edited IN
heaven. Is very severe in its denunci-
alton of the pending currency bill.
The fact that the bill is meeting with
violent opposition from extreme hard
money papers like The Nation and
from extreme imitation papers like
The Cincinnati Enquirer, is pretty
good evidence of its intrinsic merits
as a compromise measure. The main
objection of one class OF papers is that
the bill does not provide for con
traction of the currency, and that re-
sumption is impossible without con-
traction. while the other class assert
that 1t aims to enforce resumption
through gradual contraction and at
the risk of universal ruin. The Ma
ton styles the bill delusion and a
snare because it proposes resumption
in four years, and The Enquirer de-
nounces it as fraud because it names
so early day. 1t seems to be case
for the adage I'm medic tutissimus
ibis
The fact is, the bill. if passed. will
neither contract or initiate the curren-
cy to any apprcciable extent 1t is
not framed as a measure of expansion
or contraction, but as one TO provide
for the resumption of specie payments.
Four years of business prosperity and
of steady growth In population will be
equivalent TO a considerable contrac
ton of the currency Added to this
will be the positive pledge to resume
four years hence, and the consequent
interest of every person connected
with that pledge to make it good
Once let that policy be adopted and
the eountry's fare be set toward re-
sumption. and not even the Democrat
ic party will dare attempt TO thwart
its purpose or throw any obstacle in
the way. The currency does not need
either contraction or expansion per Sc
it needs to be placed on solid foun:
dation by being brought to par with
gold. and that is the expressed pur-
pose of the pending bill.

INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 31.-The con-
Guiding sessions of the State Teach

Council met in special session last
Wednesday evening, Mayor Elder in
| the chair.
The Mayor stated the object of the
meeting was to receive the report of a
committee appointed to fill the blanks
lett for the Assessor name In the
ordinance for the assessment of city
real estate The committee reported
recommending that the blanks he
filled with the name of William ii.
Bradbury.
A motion TO substitute the name of
personal property, was voted down.
The report of the committee was
| adopted, and the blanks filled with
| the name OF VIM III. Bradbury.
The ordinance was passed to the
! third reading and passed.
Nestor stated that the Linden Hill
matter should come up to- night
| The resolution which was adopted
at the last meeting for the withdrawal
and dismissal of the Linden Hill mat
ter. and agreeing not to institute pro-
| ceedings for the annexation Of said
territory until the city is prepared to
extend the conveniences of the city to
| the citizens of Linden Hill, was re-
| read.
Messrs. Burchenal and Whitridge
were allowed TO give their views on
the matter They had no advice to
give in the matter. but Mr. Whitridge
gave a history OF the case. stating that
he understood that the atteDps TO in
corporate Linden Hill "a a town was
prompted more by desire to prevent
the premature annexation of the rop-
erty to the city, and not by any special
desire to make 1T Il separate town.
He and Mr.. Burchenal had been en-
gagged in the matter for year, and if
they both continued to have good
health they might possibly be engaged
in it for another year. The city of
Richmond is actually not a party to
| the suit, but having a direct interest
| in the case, it is virtui lily party to
/ the suit.
Mr. Burchenal being again called
| on said that he did not feel any inter
est in the case as an attorney. but as Il
private citizen, ne felt that farther
prosecution of the case would not re-
suit in the advantage of the city. He
believed that the Incorporation of
Linden Hill, as separate town, would
be disadvantageous to the city, and
that as the matter could now be ad-
justed so as to quietly annex the ter
ritory at the proper time, 1t had better
be done
On motion, the petition and resolu-
ton were laid on the table.
Mr.. Nye offered a preamble and
resolution, setting forth that the city
was willing to unite with the citizens
of Lind n Hill in presenting to the
courts full and impartial statement
of the facts in the case so that an
early decision could he obtained.
This was also laid on the table
Mr. Whitridge, by permission, stat
ed that as the matter now stands il
will be passed upon by the Circu t
Court within two or three weeks, and
that, in his opinion, the most satisfac-
tory way OF dealing with the case
! would be to quietly leave it alone
