From Our Special Corrtpomlent.
WASHINGTON, y. O., April o4.-"Wha
do you think Of the prospects Of your bill
in regard to the silver dollar certificates p
your correspondent asked Of Mr.. Bland, o
Missouri, Chairman Of the Committee OF
r Coinage, Weights and Measures, yester
day.
"Oh, l think we shall pass it." he an
swered, there is very strong feeling In ilt
favor in the House, and I have no doubt ol
its pasaage."
"You think that Il would pass a two.
thirds vote, then?"
"Yes," he answered, ~ do. It Ia gener.
ally conceded that we need more small
bills in the currency. and I think there
will be little opposition to the measure.
There has been a great demand Tor small
bills OF late, you know" Nae
The bill as agreed upon in your Com.
miltee provides for the Issue Of one and
two dollar certificates, does it not, Mr..
Blandm
"Yes, and five dollar certificates too"
"But does 1t not withdraw about as many
of tho one and two dollar gresnb backs as It
Issues silver certi6cates2"
"Well, 1t withdraws indirectly certain
number Of the Treasury notes, not as
many, perhaps, as 1t ie,ues silver certiti.
eates, but 1t simply provides the further
lssus OF the one and two dollar greenbacks,
while 1t iesues large number OF silver
certificates" 800 "a rEl7I ;.
"What is the advantage, Mr.. Bland, in
the silver certificates over the greenbacks?"
| We'll" he answered, with a laugh, "the
advantage Is simply this: That every dollar
OF the silver certificates in circulation is
backed by silver dollal in the vaults Of
the Treasury, while the greenback Is
backed by nothing except the faith OF the
Government. Besides, 1t puts the silver
prac c!icaliy into circulation, though it does
no: in the meantime burden peoples pock.
els with the article itself. You can not
make the people take the silver in any
great quantities, and this means OF Issuing
it in the form Of paper is the best that can
be devised"
"And you expect to see the bill pass this
session, then?'
"ies; I think there is little doubt about
it."
WARMERS GLASS HOUSE, - -
II don't see why somebody don't give
that man Warner away" said some man as
he Eat in the House gallery listening to
come remarks made by Mr.. Warner, Of
Ohio. Warner he3 been attempting, since
his Appearance here this session, to initiate
MIR. Holman, in the role Of "objector," but
hal made 10 poor an out at it that be has
rendered himself extremely unpopular
with everybody. Indeed Holman Is about
the only man who has played that role
successfully"
"What do you mean by. giving him
away? was asked by your correspondent"
Warner makes it point to object to nearly
every pension bill, and other measures Of
that nature coming up in the House, when
the TACT is he is q pensioner himself. He
is, as l understand it, a wealthy man, and
quite able to subsist without drawing
pension from the Government, yet am
informed on good authority that be draws
a large pension. and that too for wound
in the back" = II

fully aware OF the nece:3ity Tor pure

cattle for the United Ststcs and they are
most anxious that every precaution should
be taken to insure the genuinene.s OF the
