THE SILVER BILL.

1t is reported by telegraph that the
prolonged discussion of tho silver bill
in the Senate is strengthening, rather
than weakening, the measure. There
are seventy six members in full Senate.
Two of them, Patterson, of South
Carolina, and Sharon. of Nevada, are
expected to be absent when the bill is
brought to vote. Patterson is said to
be in favor of the bill, and. if absent,
will pair with his colleague. Butler,
who is opposed to it. Sharon, of
course, will not be present or paired,
as he has not been in Washington
during the present session of Congress,
and no Senator will pair with him on
the silver or any other question. Ac-
cording to late canvass, if all the
mem bers but Sharon are present, the
vote on the Bland bill will stand 50
ayes and 90 noes. This majority is
sufficient to pass the bill over the Presi-
dents veto should he conclude to exer-
else his power III the interest of the
money kings of the east. 1t is a little
strange that the majority do not press
the bill to vote and end the suspense
in which the country awaits its action.
as the debate, with the exception of the
speech of Senator Jones, delivered on
Thursday, which is universally pro-
nounced the best argument made in
favor of the bill, has shed no new light
on the principles involved in the re-
monetization of silver.

NO CONFIDENCE IN SHERMAN.

Ben Butler of Massachusetts, the
only member of Congress from the
Eastern States who has the courage to
take the part of the people against the
money kings on the silver question. is
represented as having said that he had
no confidence in the financial ability of
Secretary Sherman. 1t is stated that
he has prepared resolution, which
will be presented after the amended
Bland bill is passed by the House,
declaring that the House has lost con-
fidence in the administration of the
Treasury Department. Should the
resolution pass, and that it will there
is no doubt. Honest John Sherman,
who few years ago wanted the bonds
paid in greenbacks, and declared that
it was reputation for the bondholders
to demand coin, but now wants the
bonds paid exclusively in gold. will
have to retire to private life or content
himself with the Presidency Of one of
the national banks. for which. at the
expense of the country, he has secured
so many favors.
