Plans for 1891
The Century Magazine is nov so
we'll known that to tell of it past sue
cess seems almost an old story. Th5
N. Y. Tribune has said that it and its
companion, 81. Nicholas for Young
Folks, issued by the same house, care
read by every L person in thirty of
the country's population, and large
editions of both are SEM beyond the
seas. 1t IS an interesting fact tn It a
few years ago it was found that seven
thousand copies of The Century went
to Scotland,-quite a respectable edi-
ton in itself. The question in Eng
land is no longer Who reads an
American book?" but "Who does
not see the American magazines 2"
A few years ago The Century about
doubled It's circulation with the
famous War Papers, by General
Grant and others, adding many more
readers later with the Lincoln History
and Remnants thrilling articles on the
Siberian Exile System. One greas
feature of 1891 is to be
"THE GOLD HUNTERS OF CALIFORNIA, "

richly illustrated articles Wrstten by

as its contract was conce' ned, had Invested
itself of its sovereignty an6 dealt with them as
eminent was justified ir SAVING T that h the Union
Pacific, in view, of its situation, should bear
heavier burden than the Central Pacific could
bear without being crushed
He did not objf ct to the general provision of
the Frye BILL no.. insist that the Union Pacific
should be place d OH equal terms with the Gen.
trai racine. Neither was he here to say that
the terms 10 posed on the Central Pacific We're
too lenient. On the contrary, he was oh iged to
say that the provisions of the bill imposed as
heavy load as the Central Pacific could bear.
He cid not think that the Union Pacific would
be willing to take the property of the Central
Pacific with heavier load than the Frye bill
Imposed upon it.
The Frye bill was good and iair bill IN
| slany respects, but there were few material
points in which he would like to see il mod
flied.
| conclusion that the burden which the Frye bill
| imposed upon the Union Pacific was too severe
| and too heavy. He did not think he would be
willing to be responsible for the results of the
| future if the conditions OF that bill were i'm
posed on the company, especially at this time.
! 1t was not in the interest of the Government
| or the people that the Union Pacific should
cease from being dividend paying stock and
become a speculative stock; cease TO be an in
vestment sock and become q Wall street stock.
1t was not in the interest of the Government
nor of the Union Pacific that the company
| should be launched on a long voyage of fifty
years weighted down to the water line so that
those who navigated the craft should spend half
their time ciinging to the rigging in order to
save themselves from every wave that swept
over the deck. The Frye bill loaded the
company down to the water line and beyond
| what he considered the limit of safety.
Adams said the Frye bill was in the interest
OF the States through which the Union Pacific
passed, although the pe5p'e of those States
didn't see it. They had an idea that anything
| which helped the railroad injured them. This
was erroneous idea. The company, in its
desire TO get some liberty was forced to the very
limit of safety, and at tines ne had hesitated
whether it was worth the company's while &c
accept the provisions of the bill.

WINDOWS SILVER BILL.
Amendments Providing for Provisional
Free Coinage.

Free Coinage.
WASHINGTON, March 17th.-Eieven members
of the House Committee on Coinage, Weights
and Measures were present to day, when the
Window silver bill was again under discussion
An amendment by Bartine, providing for free
coinage when the price OF silver reaches 81 for
7l.25 grains of pure silver, was adopted by q
msi0rity vote.
Williams offered an amendment, which was
adopted, striking out the section authorizing
the Secretary of the Treasury TO suspend tenn
porarily the receipt of silver bullion at any time
when he is satisfied that through some combi-
nation or speculative manipulation of the mar
ket the price of silver is arbitrary, nominal or
fictitious.
A motion by Bartine, providing that the notes
issued Tor silver bullion deposited shall be re-
deemed upon demand in lawful money, was
lost, and a motion to reconsider was made,
, which aspending when the hour for adjourn
ment arrived
The bill goes over until Monday, and as sew
eral members of the committee were absent
from the mornings meeting, what has been
done to-day may be recalled or amended at the
next meeting.
