The evidence is taken in perfunctory

sometimes another; it drags on. .Feel-
ing Is gotten up in behalf of the accus-
ed and against him. Sides are taken by
the party papers and before the commit
tee makes its report everybody is dead
sick of the whole thing. If a majority
and minority report are made the whole
thing is left in doubt. In this way some

1t Is hardly necessary to cite instances of

The case of Mr.. Stanley Matthews, when
the Potter Committee wished him to tes-
tify as to his own letters to Anderson, is
fresh in the mind. His immediate refuge
was an investigation. If investigations
into personal conduct lead to nothing,
political investigations are, if possible,
still more worthless. There have been
many such committees, and in no case
has report beeA made or a result reach

Foreign Ships for AIneric an
Register.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 30.-There is a
strong combination forming here of Eng
lish interests in favor OF procuring some
legislation for the admission of foreign
ships to American reg sters.
Democrats OF both houses favor such
legislation, and assert that no subsidy
scheme for the ocean mail service shall
pass without embracing clause TO this
effect. The Ways and Me ans Committee
have the matter under advisement.

says he intends to make a fight for the

SECOND EDITION
STATESMAN STEPHENS.
HIs BILL TO gELIRvE MoNATBRY srRIN
GENCY.


Mr.. Alexander IL. Stephens says the
present Is one of the severest monetery
crises the country has been called upon
to pass through. As 10 Inc mater of re-
sumption, he has nothing to say against it,;
let 1t come. But, uBl-ss something is
aone to relieve the distress of the people,
there will be terrible suffering. When
asked what means of relief he would sug-
8es', MIR. Stephens answered.: 81 would
relieve the stingency by the issuance of
silver dollars, silver bullion and gold
bullion silver certificates aud gold certifi-
ciies to an equal amount. l have al
aeady embodied my views in bill which
is now In the possession of the Commit
tes on Coinage, Weigh and Measures,
and which at the earliest opportunity, l
shall present to the House. 1t provides
for The unlimited issue of bullion certif-
Gates, that is to say, they are never to ex-
ceed the amount of bullion, but they may
exceed the amount of coined money in
existence bundled fold. The trouble
with the country is not the quality of its
money but III its quality. Peope may
talk as they will about the desirability of
the paper dollar which is at par with gold
or silver l want dollars to be at par " ith
each other, but l also want enough of
them to do the business of the country
with. There are not nearly enough of
them nov, and hence the terrible sting
ency in the labor markets of the world.
My plan will entitle the holder of bull
lion, gold or silver, TO carry it to the mint
and have II stamped and get his certfi-
cate therefor, which certificate l would
have legal tender money otvalue. 1t takes
no longer to stamp on bar of silver the
figures, description of its weight, and
therefore value, than it does to stamp a
dollar, and not so long. These certifi-
Gates l would make full legal tender, re-
ceivaole for both public and private debts.
The beauty of my plan is that it will act
quickly. Large blocks of bullion eau at
once be stamped, aud the certificates
issued in multiples of $1,000, say, or
smaller, even down to the fractions of a
dollar. In this way we should not have
to wait for the slow and weaiisome pro-
cess ofcoining the standard dollars. Two
or three hundred millions of dollars
worth of certificates could be issued in
very little while, and that amount of le-
gal tender injected into the great ateries
of trade will revive business as bv gal
vanic shock, and :he reaction will be en-
tirely healthy, Ioo." Mr.. Stephens says,
in regard to the course the Democrats
ought to pursue as 10 the cipher kilograms:
am in faver of the fullest aud freest
Investigation, if it is desired or thought
necessary by anybody. l must confess
however that know little about these
kilograms, as never read them. But, if
there has been wrong done let it be criti-
cally looked into. lfthere is any thing in
them, then probe down to the bottom
facts"

NEEDLE IN A CTILD's LEG.-Some

New Years day is a legal holiday, and
the Sub Treasury, as well as the banks,

any difficulty from postponement of spe-
Gle payments for one day. "For some

been receiving gold in exchange for

ready paid out nearly $40, 900 in gold
to meet the demands for the January in

Haverly's Mastodon Minstrels attracted
one of the largest audiences ever gather

In fact many were unable to gain admit
tance. The performance was a great
success, and contained many new and
novel acts and specialties. In the first
part forty people appeared. The singing
of the California quartette was feature,
while the jokes and sayings of the end
men, eight in number, were extremely
mirth-provoking. The clog dancing of
twelve took the house by storm, and
everything was spiritedly and well done.
As minstrel show it cannot be surpass-
