The rim's On war"cr's silver RI, ;
NEW YORK, May 3d.-The Times
to-day, commenting on Warmers
silver bill, says: While the Treas
ury will cease to receive present ac-
cumulations of coin from the mir ts,
it will receive II far larger amount
of silver bullion, covered by certifi-
Gates, in payment of revenue. There
is no limit to the amount of dues to
the government which may be paid
in these certificates, and this large
accumulation of bullion the Treas
ury is actually forbidden to coin
and must sell it for what it Will
bring. A more ingenious arrange
ment for the benefit of the silver
ring II would be difficult to imag-
inc. We are not aware what bene-
fit 1t Is even supposed would result
to the country from this generous
gift to silver mine owners, nor do
we know wherein the gentlemen
have earned such munificent liber.

The De mOcrats On the War PaGh.
CHICAGO, May 3d.-A Times
Washington special says: The
whole question of the use of troops
and Federal officials at elections
for Congress will come up in the
case of Elchoff,, contestant of Elm
stein, New York sitting me % Der.
EIchoff simply bases his claim to
Einstein's seat upon the fact that
he was defrauded of his election
through the Interference of Federal
officials. The House Election Com
mittee will make q precedent of
this case at once, by summarily re-
jecting Einstein upon proof of Fed
eral interference.
A member of the Joint Commit
tee said: We propose to give it to
Hayes hot and strong after this.
There were lot of Democrats who
were timid the last time and al
lowed Republicans to count US out
because they had the odds against
us. But this time we have the
country in our hands, and so sure
as there is God In heaven every
Statewill be thrown out where.
these Federal laws are enforced.n
The above clearly defines the fight
as II will be made by the Bourbons.
