The political situation at Washington is
interesting. The Republican members of the
Senate, after much caucusing, have agreed,
it is said, upon financial measure, which
does not include free coinage, but provides
for the purchase of $12, 900, 900 of silver, the
reduction of the compulsory requirement of
bond deposits by national banks and the ex-
tension of national bank circulation to the
amount of their deposit of bonds. Senator
Sherman was anxious to issue 2 per cent
bonds, probably knowing the deficit which
exists in the treasury, and the need of more
money for pensions, but this was not agreed
10. The committee on rules was ordered TO
prepare and report a rule which will enable
the Republicans to close debate at any time
30 that they may pass the force bill or any
extreme partisan legislation they may desire.
The emphatic expressions of opinion against
the Force Bill from all parts Of the country
and from many Republican as we'll as DEM
ocratic newspapers, should make Mr.. Hoar
and his fellow members pause before they re-
sort to desperate and unconstitutional
measure, which can only breed mischief.
