New YoRR, May 81 "A Cincinnati
dispatch states that n combination
~ Cincinnati capitalists executed n
coup detat which viii probably give
them permanent control OF the new
Southern railroad. The people Of the
city OF Cincinnati have already raised
$40 100000 for the building Of the road,
The money IL all expended, but still u
large part Of the work remains un'
finished, The completed portion,
extending nearly through the state
OF Kentucky, only waits equipment 10
bo put into immediate operation, and
with view 10 making this portion
available for use, the trustees decided
upon temporary lease. A common
carriers company was organized, with
u capital OF u half million dollars,
and books we're opened for subscrip-
ton. Tho city was thoroughly can
yassed and ut o y. m, to-day, the hour
for closing tho books, lesa than half
the amount WAS taken. At that mo-
ment, however, asyndicato subscrip-
ton OF six hundred shares was made,
giving tho control OF the lease TO a
ANAL combination Of man. headed by
Il. M. Shoemaker. This takes the
business community 10y surprise, and
fears are expressed that by this move
the city has lost control OF the road,
and will mover zee u return for her six
teen million dollars. On the other
hand, II may be said that the gentle-
mon composing tho syndicate are we'll
known citizens and heavy taxpayers,
who would not DO suspected OF lnten-
ton 20 fleece the city. The trustees
have also the right to revoke the lease
at any time, upon sixty days notice,
and no very.groat rascality can be per-
petrated without their connivance. IL
will take 81, $50, 900 more TO complete |
the road TO Chattanooga.

AMENDMENTS TO THE SILVER BILL
The two principal amendments which
the Senate Committee propose to add to
the Bland silver bill, if adopted, have
the effect to deprive the measure of some
OF its more radical features The first,
amendment. in effect. make the Govern
ment q purchaser of silver bullion at
market rates, and authorizes it to put
silver dollars in circulation at par This
amendment seems to us eminently Just.
II there is any profit in turning silver
bullion into coin. the Government ought
to receive it. The second amendment
contemplates the appointment of Com
mission to confer with officials from
double.standard nations in regard TO the
relations to be sustained between the two
metals. If we are to use silver as full
legal tender, some understanding with
other silver nations as to its relations to
gold will tend to give steadiness to its
market value. The first amendment, by
limiting the amount of silver bullion the
Government may purchase and coin
each month, limits the amount of silver
which can be circulated, without limit
ing its legal tender functions. The Gov
eminent will be a steady purchaser of
from 1924, 600, 900 to $4S. 000,C year,
which doubtless will be dsbursed to
meet ordinary expenditures. But, while
the issue of silver is thus limited. it will
take time to put it in circulation in
large quantities, and thus the incon-
venienoe which might arise from q
plethora of silver coin will be avoided.
This comparatively slow issue of silver
will give the money of the two metals
time to find their proper relations to
each. In two or three years we shall be
able to determine whether remonetiza.
ton will cause silver to rise 30 that a
dollar of 412Ha grains will be worth as
much as o gold standard dollar. If not,
Dur silver dollar must be made heavier.
There can be no difference on that point,
unless we fall back on silver standard
and let gold go out of the country. We
cannot maintain two dollars of equal
value in trade without inconvenience
and loss which would be fatal to bust
ness.--[S. F. Call.

To the Editor of the Chronicle: Sir
l have read in the Chroicle of November
LIST ON article, "Will Alfalfa Kill?" Yes;
it will kill if not properly fed. To pre-
vent bloatipg, DO not let the cattle go
into the field for the first week or two
while there is dew Oh the clover or wet
from rain. After the first week there is
very little danger. A remedy, when
bloated, is to feed the cattle on Indian
corn nubbins. They are in such great
pain that they will eat it instantly, cob

wey when they were 80 weak that they
could not stand up. One feeding will
have the desired effect. and at once.
