DEATH LANES QUIGG

Atl2 o'clock yesterday, Mr.. JAMES
QUIGG, of this city, passed from earth
For some six or seven years Mr.. QUIGG
has been great sufferer from rheuma
trsm-much of the time being confined
to house; but the immediate cause OF his
death WAS, we believe, some affection OF
the kidneys He was seriously i'll but q
day, and expired, giving but slight evil
den ce OF pain. Mr.. QUIGG was man
OF deep reii sious convictions and was de
votedly attached to his church. A Cath
olic in the broadest sense, he had, during
his long and active life, endesred him
self to many besides those OF his faith,
Generous and kind hearted, he was be-
loved by those who knew him well.
AT the time OF his death Mr.. QUIdG
was about 20 years of age. He came
10 this country from Ireland wnen quite
Young, and soon after took up his abode
in Washington City. He possessed line
business habits and . superior intellect,
and It was not long after his arrival IN this
country before he became contractor on
the streets of the Capital City. Rev.
Father SULLIVAN informs US that he re-
members we'll of important contracts un-
dertaken and carried to successful
and honorable conclusion by the
firm of which Mr.. QUIGG WAS member,
when he was yet boy. No scandal at
lached to any OF his public works such as
have blsckened the names of many who
have succeeded him in improvin@ Wash
ington. Mr.. QUIGG was one OF tue lrst
men tn take contract in the construC-
tion of the Washington Branch of the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad, away back
in the wear Of 1886 or '3S From
that time until he fell a
victim TO rheumatism, he continued
AS a contractor on that road, and up to
his death he stood high with the chlet
men Of the great corporation. Since the
wear 1851, he has been = resident OF this
city. Mr.. QUIGG, as we have said, pos
sessed superior intellectual faculties and
a high sense OF the right. Had his edu-
cation IN early life been different, he
might have filled any position, business
or political, with grace and distinction.

SENATOR HEREFORD's SILVER
BILL.

Our smisble cotemporaIy, the Park
ersburg Sentinel, is not satisfied with the
provisions OF Senator HEREFoRD's bill,
because it provides that silver "shsll be
a legal tender for all debts except where
gold coin is expressly required by law"
that is, by contract. As the Sentinel ap-
parently approves the BLAND bill, which
has already passed the House and which
will probably pass the Senate, and as it
is identical in its provisions and effects
with Senator HEREFoRD's bill, we
fail to see the point to Its
criticisms. Mr.. HEREFORD uses the
words, except where otherwise expressly
required by law" while Mr.. BLAND uses
the words, except where otherwise pro-
vided by contract" AS they each refer
to precisely the same class OF debts, and
as all the CONTRACTS" referred to by Mr..
BLAND are founded upon the @lsw" re.
ferred to by Mr.. HEREFORD, the differ
ence is the difference between tweedle-
dunn and tweedledee.
We are not well versed In the statutes
of the United States, and may not be as
able in expounding them as our esteemed
Parkersburg cotemporary, but If we have
not been miSled IN our reading
none of the boEds of the United
States are payable in "gold CON-" or but
few of them, if any, nor is the interest OF
the public debt or the customs duties SO
payable. 1t is true that few Wall
street statesmen claim that the four per
cent bonds recently issued are payable IN
"gold coin," but Secretary SHERMAN
admits that the LarO does not say 50. The
Wall street statesmen do not claim that
the la,O so provides but they claim gold
as part OF the contract with the Secre-
tary of the Treasury. Mr.. HEREFORD
bill would pay these and all other bonds
according to claw" simply in "coin" and
not in "gold coin" If We have been mis-
Informed as TO the nature of the financial
legislation of the country, we hope our
able co.emporary will eniighted us. We
desire TO get at the exact facts in the

HOUSE.

After considerable discussion, IN when
Mr.. Blount, who had charge Of the bill,
promised rigid inquiry into the diversion
of the pay fund, and MIR. Hale said that
the late Secretary might be scrutlnIzec
from celler to attic and there will not
be found single dollar OF all the
millions that had passed through his
hands which had been appropriated to
purposes outside Of the maintenance OF
the American navy in the proper way,
the bill passed without division.
The House then proceeded to the con-
sidera,ion OF the bill to repeal the re-
sumption act,
Mr.. Eden offered substitute simply
repeating the third section OF the re.
sumption act and providing that there
shall be no fIrther issue OF national bank
notes except 10 replace such as aTe
mutlsted, worn or destroyed.
Mr.. Chittenden took the floor and sent
to the clerks desk and had read me-
mortal OF the National Board OF Trade
and the draught OF a substitute tor the
pending bill prepared by that body. DE
then stepped to the clerks desk himself
and addressed the House. Holding up
ten dollar legal tender no.e, he said that
be was very much mistaken if the o!i!
before the House was not downright re-
pudiation Of this note. In his hand was
q promise of the government to pay him
ten dollars, but no date was fixed tor the
payment. The note wss issued in 1915,
and on the l4th day Of that year Con-
gress had enacted law declaring that
tRis debt of the government should be
psid on the first OF January, 1879. The
government must keep its promise faith
fully or become the leader OF sll repudI-
stors in the land, including every de-
tsulung town, city and State. The ques-
ton of honor wss central snd vital " the
point in discussion. He criticized the
