SILVER WARRIORS.
A Possibility that the Fight May be on
New Ground.

A Possibility that the Fight May be on
New Ground.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1S.-There is a
possibility that the contest over the silver
question may be practically transferred
from the Coinage Committee of the House
to the Committee on Banking and Cur
rency. During the recent session Of the
Coinage Committee, Chairman Bland
intimated very strongly that unless
some positive action was taken by
his committee on the matter at
issue the subject might be taken
out of their hands by u prompt
report from the Committee on Banking
and Currency on some Of the propositions
before that committee relating to the issue
OF silver or coin certificates on bullion de-
pOsits. That Mr.. Bland had some tangible
ground for his remark is apparent from
the fact that the Committee on Banking
and Currency has determined to begin
next week consideration of measures re-
lating to silver coinage with view to
formulating a bill to be reported to the
House.
THE REAGAN BILL.
The committee will first consider, at the
instance of Mr. DINGHY, the Reagan bill
Gates of denomination Of 81 and 50 in ad-
ditiOn to the certificates authorized at
present. 1t will endeavOr to reach an
agreement upon the question as to
whether public interests will best be
served by the issue of silver certificates
OF small denominations or by the resump-
tiOn of the issue of 81 and 80 Treasury
notes. The decision OF this question as a
consequence involves some decided action
upon the silver question. A careful re-
view OF the composition of the committee
as stated by its chairman discloses the
fact that Notwithstanding the addition of
Mr.. Findlay, a monometalist, a majority
of seven of the members are opposed to a
suspension Of the coinage of silver.
THE SILVER FIGHT.
The programme OF the anti-silver men
in the House is to propose as a substitute
for Mr.. Hands free coinage bill reported
adversely, which MIR. Bland will call up
next week, u resolution to be offered by
Mr.. Hemphill, OF South Carolina, sus-
pending the coinage of the silver dollar
while the President negOtiates with for
eign countries with view to an inter-
national agreement as to the coinage
and circulation Of silver, a
number OF propositions will be offered by
the silver men, who are of differing shades
of opinion, so that the House may have a
chance TO vote on every proposition that
has been before the House Committee on
Coinage and as many more besides. Mr..
Bland will conduct the silver side of the
debate, and Mr.. James, OF New YORK, the
anti-silyer side.

its condemnation of the refusal of the Attor-
ney General, under whatever influence, to

OF the revised statutes, declaring THAT per-

or naval service by reason of disability result
ing from wounds or sickness incurred in line

civil Offices, provided they are found to pos
sess the business capacity necessary for
proper discharge Of the duties of such office"
ought TO be faithfully and fully put In eNecu-
tion, and that to remove, or to propose TO re-
move any such soldier whose
falthfuiness, competency and char
acter are above reproach, and
to give place to another who has not rendered
such service Is In violation of the spirit Of the
law and of the practical gratitude the people

the defenders of constitutional liberty and in
tegrlty of the government. All Of which is
respectfully submitted"
