FREE COINAGE.


 terney General and Ex-Minister to England, in a letter to The Silver Dollar, makes a very strong plea fer the restoration of silver in our curren- cy on more equal footing with gold. He says:
 "lt IS easy to dispose of the surplus and have no currency but gold and silver circulated by legal tender notes payable on demand Tn coin.
 "Ihe Secretary has the right to buy up the bonds and thus retire the Ma tlonal bank notes. He can gradually, as the surplus and the gold and silver accumulate redeem the green backs and supply ther place with com or com notes, as parties may prefer.
 Allow free coinage for gold as now, and let legal-tender notes issue upon the actual deposit.
 Treat silver in the same way as gold, Let notes also be issued upcn deposits of gold and silver bars of standard .ineness, c6ining only so much as tae Secretary finds needed to snpply the demand.
 Exclude all foreign silver from coinage or deposit. It is just as easy to exclude foreign silver from the mint. as to exclude foreign copper from fhe market, The object is to prevent the flooding of our mints with foreign silver-some of our most emi- nent statesmen think that we can alone maintain free coinage of silver without limit, and that foreign silver cannot come here to be coined,
 
 "Thus our entire currency would be gold and silver circulated by Govern ment notes payable in coin on demand.
 "The question is whether we are likely to have gold and silver enough to form thls basis for currency?
 Turn to the Mint Report of De- cember last p, 86, and we find that at the close of the fiscal year 1877, there was but S167,501,472 of gold in the country, and we find that on the first of November, 1887. there was $685. 130.375 of gold in the country, so that after ten years trial, we find that since we commenced the coinage of silver (which was so certain to drive out the goId) the gold has increased $527,- | 62S,909!
 "So much for theory which facts explode,
 "We have now in the country, of gold and silver together, considerably | over thousand million dollars, and we are adding from our mines eighty seven million year, to say nothing of the gold coming from abroad.
 1t is clear that the time has come when we can safely commence and bring about, what the President de- sired, and Secretary Manning urged in his report of December, 1885, namely:-
 "A better currency than the best by any nation; a currency in which every dollar note shall be the certificate of coin dol ar actually in the Treasury and pay able on demand; currency in which 1ur monetary unit coined in gold, and ts equivalent coined in silver, shall lot be suffered to part company"

Miss Mary Garrett too mnch for Ex-
President Spencer of the ID. & o.
The ousting Of Samuel Spencer from
the presidency of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Company was the work of
a woman. Although elevated to the con-
troll of the road by the CARROTS Presi.
dent Spencer had for some time been re-
garded as inimical TO the Garrett policy.
The election of Charles +. Mayer, to
succeed Mr. Spencer, was accomplished
through the energy and shrewdness Of
Miss Mary Garrett. 1t has been known
for some time that Miss Garrett, who.
since the death of the brother T. Harri
son and the illness of her other brother
Robert, has been in control Of the Gar
rett stock, has been opposed to President
Spencer's management Of the company 3
affairs.
Miss Garrett has been her fathers conf
dante aud often his adviser, and she was
said at one time to be more familiar with
the details Of the company than any one
connected with it. II was against her
protest that Mr.. Spencer entered into
negotiations with Jay Gould for the sale
Of the Baltimore and Ohio telegraph,
which was Robert CARROTS pet hobby.
Wnllo ROBERT was on lho ocean on Ms
way to the United States and could not
interfere, Spencer consummated the sale
Of the telegraph lines For this, it il
said, Robert Garrett accused Spencer O.
having accepted money from Gould
| When T. Harrison Garrett died it was
believed that Mr. Spencer would be abl
to hold his position, but Miss Garrett die
not propose that he should be continued
in control, and with that energy and tao
which she has always displayed, she Sc
to work to accomplish the overthrow o
| Mr. Spencer and his policy.

CITIZENS, ASSOCIATION.
A Registry Law for State Electors Woul'
be Unconstitutional.

A Registry Law for State Electors Would
be Unconstitutional.
The Citizens Association Of this city,
which accomplished so much good work,
for Wilmington at the last session of the
General Assembly, proposes to be more
or less active at the coming session. One
of the propositions in contemplation was
a registration law for the whole state,
similar in many respects to the one in
operation in this city. The association
as a body has as yet taken no decided
action. Some Of the individual members
however, have been considering plan in
regard to the election laws. With
this end in view they called
upon several members of the bar
recently and discovered that while the
proposed law was a good one in regard to
city elections, the constitution forbade its
application to state elections. 1t con
hicted in many respects with the qualih-
cations prescribed for electors by the
constitution There lis some difference
Of opinion, however, among lawyers in
this matter. This difference is as fatRl
TO the passage Of the bill as the absolute
opinion against IL would be.
President Andrew g. Wilson OF the
Department Of Elections was seen about
the matter, and ia reply TO the question
