The Silver Bill.

The Warner silver bill has passed
the House by vote Of one hundred
and fourteen to ninety-scven, few
Democrats voting against it and few
Republicans for it. During the rough
and tumble fight that marked It's final
passage several of its most objcctiona-
blc features were Topped OF. AS it
reaches the Senate it provides that
any person having silver can take it to
the mint to be coined, and receive for
the bullion the price at which it was
selling during the week previous in
the New York and San Francisco
markets. The bullion thus deposited
shall be coined into standard silver
dollars Of 412a grains, or in subsidiary
coins Of proportionate weight, the dol
lar being q legal tender for all
amounts, the fractional coin being Il
legal tender for twenty dollars. The
dcpositor shall receive silver coin
certificate to the amount of the market
value Of the bullion. No discrimina-
ton shall be made in paying out gold
and silver. If the deposits each month
shall average less than two million
dollars, the government must buy I'D
enough bullion to coin that amount.
Tho press dispatches reported the
minimum at t~enty millions n month.
but the New York Hcra10's report
gives two million, exactly the amount
se1uircd in the existing act. The
difference between the existing law
and the proposed bill is as follows: BY
tho present law the Secretary of the
Treasury is ordered to go into the
market and buy enough bullion TO
coin between two and four million
dollars month, the government
getting all the profits, and the coinage
being restricted. The Warner bill
first provided for al unlimited coin
age and gave all the profits, about
fifteen per cont, to the bullion holder.
But the amended bill still leaves the
profits TO the government, and allows
the depositor only The market price for
Ills silver. But coinage is no longer
restricted. Should n hundred million
dollars wosth of siNer be brought to
the mint in the next month, certificates
to that amount would have to be
Issued, thus creating rapid imitation
OF the currency, and in all probability,
throwing gold above par. WeiT IN
formed persons assert confidently that
this bill will not pass the Senate; and,
IN amy event, as the President vetoed
thapresent act he will inevitably veto
this Warner bill which is much more
swserings whilea requisite two-tlirds
cannotbe obtained te'ovelsYiae the veto.
The only safeguard to this bill is that
as the bullion holder is not allowed to
make any considerable profit he may
not wish to flood the mint with his
bullion. But the bill seems nnneces-
sary, as wc do not need moro money,
but more confidence, and this Will not
De secured by endless tinckering with
tho e,srreney.

which he says lie has received. The
letter accuses Shell Of having dccoycd
McNinch into Jail, knowing he would
be hanged. 1t says he tried to bribc a
prisoner in Jail to swear falsely against
an innocent man, and threatens that if
Shell does not sayc NIcNinch his life
will pay the penalty before the 2Gth
of June. The letter is signed, "Your
Enemies" Mr.. Shell, in his communi-
cation, says that he had not anything
to 90 with the McNincli-Kilgorc diff
Guilty Of which he is either afraid or
ashamed, and thnt while he has large
responsibilities and much to live for,
yet if those who have conspired against
him can afford to carry their threat
into execution, he can but submit to
their cruel decree. He also publishes
Il card from McNinch. certifying that
McNinch surrendered himself Of his
own free will, and that though he
asked Shells advice as to his course,
the latter had refused to advise him.
M.Ninch says he regards Shell as ono
OF his best friends; that during his mis-
fortune Shell has kindly carea for his
family, and that tho writer Of tho
anonymous letter is not his friend.

May ask your attention for few moments
while we consider the needs and wants of the

all have so deeply at heart The necessity
and value of education all will admit, but
how the State college is to benefit our people
as a whole, does not seem to be apparent to
all.
admit that the youths of Maine will not
and cannot avail themselves of the privileges
of this institution. But, gentlemen, it is the
smartest boys (and use the term boys for
short rs would exclude none on account of

are TO be the most valuable TO the State, al
lowing them to have that culture that will de-
velop their intellect, and that moral training
that shall give their smartness the right di-
rection- Some boys are so fortunate, and
some SO unfortunate rs to have parents able
to educate them, and these will mostly take
their degrees at some Of the purely scientific
and classical colleges or universities, and
will make in some instances professional men
and in some others professional nobodies
But some of our smartest boys who have to
depend mostly on their own resources and
wish to gain thorough knowledge of those
branches which shall enable them to success
fully prosecute their chosen life-work, will
avail themselves of the advantages of this
college, where caste is unknown, where to
work is no disgrace, and where, while storing
the mind with knowledge they are by physical
culture and discipline constantly imbbing
those feelings Of self-reliance so necessary To
success in any and all of the undertakings of
active life; and while his brain is wearied in
solving those intricate and perplexing prob
