Proposed Legislation BY CenWcss- OPP
position TO the Sherman B4.
Washington Dispassh.i


The Finance committees of tho rwo houses
have entered upon the considcraaion o. the
important subjects referred b them Last
winter, when the bill extending the national
bank charters was passed, a. YVES tho general
opinion that the question of the existence OF
the banks was settled for ~ hast twenty
years, but, under existing conditions, the
time can be easily calculated when the basis
of the system will have reached it's vanish
ing point. Two conflicting propositions are
now before the Finance committees. One
looks to giving TO the national banks more
stable basis: the object of the other is 10 ui-
timately supplant the present Wstem by
treasury notes.
The Senate Finance committee has under
discussion the bill of Mr.. Sherman, which, in
brief, proposes TO allow nationm bafrks 10
issue circulation 10 anamount wnhm ~ per
cent of the market value Of me bonds.
Provision is made that I'm the evens OF shrink
age the Secretary of the Treasury shah have
the power to call upon the banks 20 make
good their margins. The meetings OF
the committe have not been at
tended by all the members, Messrs.
Allison and Aldrich (Repubfioans) having
both been absent. Enough has been said,
however, TO show that the Democrats viii OPP
pose the She rman plan, while the Republi-
cans are not all prepared TO support H. me
than to agree that the banks may issue circu-
lation equal 10 the par OF the bonds. This is
an increase of 10 per cent over the existing
law. They may also vote for some reduction
of the TAX on circulation. The Republicans
of the committee are not an agreed To the
plan of the Sherman bill.
Senator Aldrich proposes 70 Introduce bill
of his own which provides for the exchange
of the As for as, with the difference to be
paid in cash. Then he would allow the banks
TO issue circulation equal to 100 per cent. of
the value of the bonds, instead OF 30 per
cent. as under existing law, or 30 per cent OF
the market value as proposed by Senator
Sherman. He thinks that a bal like the one
he will introduce will settle the banking
quest on favorably 10 the banks and the coun-
try for twenty three years at least, which he
does not believe will be achieved by MIR. sber-
man 8 proposition.
The suggestion Of the Secretary OF the
Treasury, that an additional appropriation
will be necessary If the printing OF the 81
and 81 notes il continued, win furnish new
text for the discussion of the financial ques-
ton. Some OF the silver men indicate their
purpose TO take advantage OF this sup gestion
70 refuse an appropriation for the 81 and 81
notes, the expectation being that II these
notes shall be retired the effect wiz be TO
force the silver dollar into circulation.

The agitation in Ireland based upon Lord
Rcssmore's recent Orange protest., is briskly
maintained. Three-fourths of the magis-
trates have already publicly placed them
selves on record in opposition to the platform
which Lord Rossmore has laid down as
the only one on which loyal Irish
men can stand. In the County Cork
alone 14S magistrates have de-
clared that loyalty and Oranreism are In
compatible, and that they will not be ccerced
into inaction or submission by the bra9gado-
clio of the anti-Catholio partisans. The Or

n series of meetings to be held In England

GRAND GRABS.
Contemplated Raids Upon the National
Treasury.

Washington Telegram to Chicago Tribunel
The most dangerous attacks on the Treas
ury are the bills proposing additions TO the
pension rolls. Each bill is backed up by pc
titlons which apparently come from ex-
soldiers. The large part OF them are col
lected by claim agents, one of whom has
gathered 80, 600 signatures of alleged soldiers
asking for additional pension Legislation.
Aside from the general bills which involve by
official calculation over S200,0O0,OOO there
have already been introduced nearly
1000 private pension bills. Many originate
with attorneys, who send bundles OF them 10
members, with a request 10 present them.
They then charge those interested S25. Not
one In ten OF this class can ever p,ss. Many
have no merit. Few sent In by claim agents
are ever followed further than the fee. The
proposition To equalize bOuntiee has been In
troduced by dozen members. There have
been several official calculations made OF the
amount which the passage OF such bill
would require. The Paymaster General es-
timated that it would take as a minimum S157,-
600, 200, and that the amount might run
up To Sl63, 600. No official calculation
places the sum at less than Sl25, 000, 000 At
least $50 additional clerks will be needed 10
make the settlement. The next scheme In
the order Of magnitude Is the one for remov-
ing all limit upon granting arrears or pen
sions. This also IL strongly supported by
DetIlOnB WHICH pension tiRtuJS nave pTOCuftQ.
bill which is being urged with great per
slstence Is the bill for pensloning all who
were prisoners of war for two months; with
out regard TO the question whether or not
they suffered thereby In health, this is an in
sidious measure, since few politicians have
the courage to take even an apparent stand
against pcnsioning those who suffered as
prisoners and there are very many deserving
cases. Added &c. these are the bills TO pension
all who served fourteen days in the Mexican
war, all who served in the various Indian
wars, and the two extraordinary bills of
Price, of Wisconsin, and Peters, OF Kansas,
one providing for pensioning all who served
in the Union army upon their reaching the
age of As years, and the other providing for
pensoning all who served sixty days for the
terms of their natural lives. For all except
these last schemes there is great pressure
here.

Although the Forty-eighth Congress has
been in actual session only three weeks, the
bills already introduced would, If enacted,
absorb all the surplus revenues OF the Gov
eminent for several years TO come. No reg

but nearly every measure presented contains
an appropriation direct, Indefinite implied,
or oblique. An attempt has been made TO
classify the most important bills and estimate
the probable amount involved, so that the

The Erio The Chief sufTerer.

The question is now asked what will become
of the poor Erie. The West Shore and New
York Central fight carries its ravages necessarily
into the ranks Of all neighboring and competing
lines. The Erie becomes sufferer through no
fault of its own The Lackawanna is hurt in a
less degree, and the Pennsylvania and Balti-
more & Ohio have quarrel of their own, which
adds to the difficulties of the situation These
difficulties are all comprised in the one over
towering fact that more capital has been in
vested in trunk line railways than the business
will at present sustain. The Erie however, is
likely, in the end though innocent in inaugural
ing the fight, to be the worst crippled as obliga-
tons are constantly falling due which the Erie
would have its hands full to meet under the most
favorable circumstances

INDIANA'S SWAMP LANES.
Discoveries that Are Worth Many Thou
sands to the State.

In examining the records in the land depart
ment Auditor of State Rice sometime ago it was
discovered that the United States government,
through mistake, had sold considerable land I'M
der the presumption act which, under the swamp
land act of 1850, belonged to the State, and as
the result of a careful research of the records it
has been found that there are over 5000 acres
of swamp lands that have been sold by the gov
ernment upon which the State is entitled to in
demnity The investigation has not been com
pleted yet, however, and the clerk of the land
department believes that it will be found
that fully 10000 or $1,000 acres be-
longing to the State have been
sold since 1850 through mistake. The
amount of indemnity to which the State is en-
titled is about $125 per acre. and it will prob
ably aggregate something near 100000, all of
which will go to the school fund. The discovery
is very important one to the State.
A large area of territory along the course of
the Kankakee river, over which the sluggish
stream at one time spread, has been claimed by
the government as river or lake beds. The wa
ter has receded from thousands of acres of this
land, and the Auditor will make an effort to Sc
cure it TO the State swamp land. A test case
on an old lake bed of seventy-ive acres in La
Porte county has recently been decided in favor
of the State, and was sold by the Aud
itor as swamp land There are over
hundred thousand acres in the
marshy region of the northern part of the State,
now held by the government as lake and river
beds, which the Auditor will claim for the State,
and the decision in the test case is pretty good
assurance that the claim will be sustained. 1t
will then be appraised, under the requirements
Of the swampland act and will be sold. The
proceeds will swell the State school revenue to
an enormous fund.- and the State is several
hundreds of thousands of dollars richer than has
been supposed.

Doctors pay cheerful tribute to the merits of
Athlophoros as remedy for rheumatism and
neuralgia. Says Arthur NJ Lee NJ D., Pomona
ILL.,: "Have subjected Athlophoros to a careful
test in neuralgia and rheumatism. Bear cheer
full testimony to its uniform efficiency as a rem
edy for these diseases under my personal treat
ment for the last six months"
When doctor knows what he is about he
doesn't fail to use the right remedy, and to give
credit for it But that is neither here nor there.
Athlophoros is above all doctors. 1t is sover-
eign. Its works are its recommendations. G.
G. Thompson, New Haven, Conn, writes to say
tspace will not permit the printing of half he
writes): 'For twelve years have suffered from
rheumatic neuralgia. Sleep was impossible.
could not walk nor attend to business Rene
dies were not wanting. Have tried hundreds of
them without relief. Considering the number

physicians in this and other cities have labored
faithfully with me, without avail. Opposed a
trial of Athlophoros as among other useless
remedies. But in despair, and without par
ticle of faith tried it. The first two doses re-
LEVIED my pain entirely. Have had but one
slight attack since, and this l dispelled with a
single dose of Athlophoros. never before wrote
this deserves all, and moro than l have said

In all cases of rheumatism flying from one
remedy TO another is waste of time and money.
Get the only specific at once and save time,
cash and pain. Mrs. Harriet Strong, West

a change for the better. After taking four bot
