But the most absurd OF all these stump

hibits the giving OF masquerade balls,

has not been an entertainment OF this

rur Silver nr,.L. PASSED.

The House Of Representatives ysstsr-
day vindicatsd itself from the suspicion
that its members had Voluntarily be-
come the agents Of q private job In the
passage Of the Bland Silver bill, by
promptly accepting all the amendments
Of the Senate, thus making the Govern
ment the purchaser and coinsr OF silver
bullion. and putting whatever profit may
arise from the coinage OF the new dol
lar into the Treasury. instead OF into the
pockets Of silver holders. Ths bill In
this modified form. now goes TO the
President for his approval. and - the
vote In both branches Of Congress has
been more than the two.thirds requisite
to override q veto, its becoming . law 10
assured. The President. II Is true. may
desire to put himself on record against
demonstration. BY interpreting a formal
veto, aud he has the right to do 40 !; but
the bill will DO promptly passed over his
head. and for all practical purposes sill.
yer may now bs said to have been made
legal tender by the Government Of the
United States.
The bill. as passed. u q good ono. and
cannot fail to secure the hearty approval
Of every man In tbs. nation who 10 not
thoroughly identified with the Gold
ring Of Wall and California streets. The
limitation OF the coinage to from two to
four million dollars monthly Is . whole
some check upon the imitation which
anti-silver men have feared, or pretended
to fear /; and Il will be many years at
that rate OF coinage before We can pos
sibly experience any great decrease in
our gold circulation. In the meantime
the experiment In this country will be
closely watched by foreign nations who
still cling to the single standard, and u
IL works well they will not be slow to
follow our lead. The bill Is probably
the best, under all circumstances, that
could have been drafted. II makes the
poor mans money Ms good as the rich
mans for the payment Of debts. and
does not food the country at one fell
swoop with q currency which the major
ity Of civilized nations refuses to
recognize.

county and the State which honored him
by elscting him to = position Of trust,
but he has placed other lives. perhaps

hands Of the notorious highlander whom
he released. II is no wonder that China

that they arc never identified in our
