BLAND'S SILVER BILL.

The House on Monday passed, un
der suspension of the rules, Band
bill for the recoinage IF the silve
dollar. The vote on the passage u
the bill was: yeas, 1873, and nays, "a
The largeness of the majority wal
due partly to the absence of mum
Der OF anti-silver Congressman, who
had gone to New York and othel
neighboring States to participate in
the elections, but il all the absentees
had been present, the bill would
nevertheless have commanded con.
siderable more than two-thirds
vote.
The bill "provides that there shall
be coined at the several mints of the
United States silver dollars Of the
weight of 4124 grains troy, of stand
ard silver, as provided in the Act of
January 1S, 1887, in which there shall
he devices AMI representations pro-
vidcd by said Act, which coins, to-
gether with all silver dollars hereto
fore coined 10y the United States of
like weight and fineness shall be legal
tender at their nominal value for all
debts and dues ublic and private,
except where otherwise is provided
by contract, and any owner of silver
bullion may deposit the same at any
United States coinage mint, or assay
Office, to he coined into such dollars
for his benefit upon the same terms
end conditions as gold bullion is de-
posted for coinage under the existing
law, section two. All acts and parts
of acts inconsistent with the pro-
visions Of this act are hereby re-
pealed."
We have but one objection to this
dollar-the weight is not sufficient to
make it equal to gold in 'mmercc.
This dollar will he at a discount
everywhere, and will give employ
ment to II horde of money changers
throughout the Union. Better that
silver be entirely demonetized than
to continue its coinage into tokens SO
greatly below the gold value that the
people are, compelled to submit to
loss in almost every transaction.
Give us subsidiary silver coin, but
let it contain at least 220 grains to
the dollar, and We believe few
grains more might be added with ul-
innate good results. The people of
the Pacific coast have fully tested the
deprecated silver coins, and find
themselves compelled to supp TT
thousands Of money brokers. The
productive indust,i les of the country
cannot do this always.

three hundred inhabitants, had not

Mongolians employed between Wads-
worth and Ogden on the railroad, or

SAYS the San Francisco Stock Re-
port: The recount FOR the shrievalty
has been good thing. 1t has shown
that Notwithstanding all the talk
about corrupt ~ in local political
circles there has been at least perfect
squareness SO far as the actual de-
post and count of the votes are con-
cerned. In this recount it has been
shown that many clerical errors are
liable to creep into every canvass OF
ballots, aud that it is out of the
question to expect absolute accuracy
Still, as the errors nearly balance
each other and favor neither contest
ant, 1t is quite Certain that there ha.
been no intent mai fraud. The re-
suit exhibits the following differences
from the official returns: humans Of
fetal vote was 1921; recount, IS,
219-a loss Of Is. In one portion o
the precincts he gained % v,tes
while in the remainder he lost Al
Rogers, official, l5,96l; recount, Is,
973-a gain of IL. He gained 50 il
certain Of the precincts, and lost A
ia the others. 4, Rogers net gail
by the recount was 80 v"tes, leavin.
