Secretary Manning's letter OF resigna-
tion is in many ways an able document.
His pointed allusion to the silver question
at this time is, however, unfortunate, es-
pecially itishis purpose, through the action
Of the treasury, TO remedy in any way tho
prostratlon and depression that stagnates
the business interests Of the country. We
insist that IL is unpropitous because Con.
gress Is so near the close Of It's session aud
has already emphatically asserted It's posi-
tion on the silver question as being gnSag-
onistic to the policy Of the administration.
The American Congress and people are
utterly opposed to the decentralization OF
silver or an estoppel Of the coinage Of that
precious metal, Secretary Manning
untimely renews the agitation
Of the question, and yet sug.
gests no remedy for the financial evils
that he asserts grow out Of the limited
coinage of silver. Just how our mints are
to be opened "to the natural and unlimited
coinage" Of both gold and silver is what the
country is very anxious to have definitely
explained. II the Secretary is deslr-
GUS Of bringing our currency out OF
the chaos into which he maintains It has
lailen, IL would undoubtedly be the wisest
ana best policy, and one entirely in harmony
with the wishes OF the people, to give Of
tlcial pause at once to the crusade against
the silver coinage. The policy OF the adj
ministration could, indeed, be wisely re-
Verseu, ana instead OF discrediting
the SILVER com every eitort should be given

The Arthur XIII Bridge Bill Passed..

The Arthur Kill bridge bill, which passed
the House yesterday by an almost unanimous
vote, being Senate bill, will, after receiving
the speakers signature, go to the President for
his approval. II is similar in its provisions to
the bill introduced In the House by Repre-.
sentative Belmont of New York, and the
friends Of the met sure are grateful 70 Mr..
Townshend, who, standing high on the list OF
members entitled to recognition, consented to
call the bill up for action.
Mr. Townshend In briefly explaining the
provisions of the bill. stated that In making
the motion he was impelled by the belief that
the measure 10 in the interest of the general
commerce OF the country, and especially in
the interest Of the people living In the Mlssis-
slppi valley and in the southern states. The
present terminal facilities at New York were
very inadequate, and this made the cost OF
lighterage and other terminal charges enor-
nous, and imposed heavy tax on the com.
merce OF the west. The effect of the bill would
be to reduce the cost of terminal charges In
New York, end produce wholesome competi.
tion, which would enable the producers
of the country TO market their products at less
expense for transportation.

the bill was agreed to -139 10 3.

Assistant Secretary Smiths Opinion on
that Subject,

new 1OfR star.
Assistant Secretary OF the Treasury Will
lam y, Smith, who was met at the Fifth
Avenue Hotel last night, was asked as to
the truth Of the rumor that Secretary OF
the Treasury Manning would not return to
his portfolio, and that his successor would
probably be Congressman William L. Scott,
Of Erie. Pa.
"The letters Of the President and Mr..
Manning on that subject" said Mr.. Smith
"are before the public, aud truthfully show
the situation. | know that the President
was most anxious that MIR. Manning should,
hold his resignation in allegiance until the
LIST OF October, and that Mr.. Manning
yielded to the request with reluctance. You
may say positively that no change will be
made before the 1st OF October. Express
ing my individual opinion, do not think
Mr.. Manning will return to the treasury,
and l know that nothing has been settled
as yet as to his probable successor. Mr..
scott's relations with the President are very
cordial and intimate. His name has been
prominently mentioned for the place, |
know, and n ho should be chosen | think
he would make popular and efficient head
OF the Treasury Department. The names
OF some half dozen gentlemen have been
talked Of in Washington during the past
few days, and when Mr.. Manning's success
sor comes to be chosen feel confident the
choice will bo from among this number.
Mr. scotts name is among them. More
