SILVER BIZ Prospacts.

When the silver bill was sent tn the
HOUSE from the Senate it was confidently
predicted by the silver men that the Presi-
dent would soon have a chance 10 act upon
it. IL begins 70 look, however, as If the bill
would not reach the Presidential least in its
present shape. Il is now an absolute free
c5inage bill IL turns out that a majority
Of the members of the House committee on
coinage is opposed to free silver coinage.
On Wednesday motion was made in the
committee TO report it favorably 10 the
House at once. which was defeated by
majority of two.
The silver men are beginning b get
alarmed. They are apprehensive that there
will be no silver legislation at this session
They have been told by persons who are in
position TO know what they are talking
about that the President would not sign a
free silver coinage bill. They have been
acting upon the theory that the President
would not dare to veto such a bill At last
they are becoming convinced that this
theory is an erroneous one.
The silver men, believing that there is
very little reason to hope for the success of
free silver coinage.are beginning TO listen to
compromise talk. The proposition to limit sill
yer coinage to American silver is bsing
seriously considered 1t is believed that
the President would sign bill authorizing
the coinage of all the silver product of
American mines.
The House committee on coinage has
been listening to the director of the mint.
His view is that it,congress should authorize
the free coinage of silver European countries
would unload their stock of silver on this
country, and that silver could not be kept
on par with gold. If the United States
aud a number of other strong commercial
nations should unite in favor of free silver
coinage they could, in his opinion, keep
silver in the position with respect to gold it
now occupies. The United States alone
could not do it.
The investigation of the silver scandal is
not without its effect upon silver legislation.
IL is creating sentiment against the silver
bill. The impression is strong that quite a
large number of senators and representa-
tives we're in the silver pool last session, but
that they did not make any money. .Ac-
cording to the story told the price of silver
did not advance Immediately after
the passage Of the bill. On the
contrary it fell, and the spectators sold out
their holdings at loss. Had they held on
to it they would have made great deal Of
money, because silver subsequently ad-
vanced more than fifteen points.
The silver scandal investigation may not
develop anything Of a startling nature.
But whether it does or not the outlook for
the passage Of the free coinage silver bill is
not very bright at present.

push the Public building.

Representative Lester was so successful
in getting the bill through congress which
greatly increases Savannah's appropriation
for public building. and in persuading the
President to sign it, that it is hoped that he
will be equally successful in getting the
supervising architect of the treasury depart
ment to appoint a commission, without
unne ,essary delay, to select a site and begin
the work Of constructing the building.
The one thing Of which Savannah stands
greatly In need is postoffice building. The
building now occupied for postoffice is
wholly unsuited for postoffice purposes.
All the postoffice inspectors who visit this
city say that no other city of its size in the
country is so badly off for postoffice facili-
ties.
And the people ought to object to any
delay in the erection OF the proposed new
building. If a new site is to be chosen let
it be done promptly. The available sites
are known and their value is pretty well
understood. There ought to be no diff
Guilty, therefore, with respect to the site.
Before summer begins the foundations of
the new structure ought TO be laid, and a
year hence the people should be getting
their mail from a new postoffice. If the
people insist upon prompt action the pro-
posed building will soon be erected.

The Force BIZ and the Worlds. Fair.
II the force bill should be passed the
south would not take a very prominent part
In the worlds fair. Tho southern people
would not feel like doing so. They look
upon the force bill as a sectional measure.
And that is exactly what il Is. Il is aimed
at the south, and the effect Of it would be
to check the south's prosperity.
On Monday the legislature of Alabama
decided not TO pass a bill appropriating
100000 10 enable that state to make an
rass the force bill. on Tuesday the legis-
lature of Arkansas and on Wednesday the
legislatureof Tennessee reached a similar
decision. II is doubtful If any Of the
southern states would be represented at the
fair il the force bill should become a law.
In the north perhaps this action of the
legislatures of Alabama and Arkansas will
be regarded as unwise. In the south, how
ever, it will not be regarded So The south
ern people feel that there is little use in
trying to build up their section of the
country and increase its wealth if it is the
purpose of congress to throw obstacles in
the way Of its prosperity.
Threatened with such evils as would be
certain to flow from the force bill the south
would not feel like taking part in such
celebration as the worlds fair will be.
However, it doesn't matter much to the
force bill senators what course the south
pursuee with respect to the worlds fair.
They do not care particularly about the
fair, nor are they especially DESTROYS that
the south shall be prosperous. What they
desire more than anything else is that their
party shall retain control of the govern
ment

Washington is greatly excited over the
frank earnestness of candidate for United
States senator from that new state who
ingeneously put $500 in legislators
hands as an inducement for the
legislator to vote for him. Novel ideas of
propriety seem to prevail in these hustling
new states. Evidently this candidate re-
garded that very practical proposition as
merely squirt Of sagacious business enter
prise in nowise reprehensible. But it SO
amazed the. assembled statesmen that they
adjourned and took short recess to gaze
upon the guileless speculator. Even now
he does not appear to realize that he has
done anything remarkable. Nevertheless
the House intends to ask him some very
pertinent questions.

The present struggle in the Senate is not
without its comedy features. On Wednes-
day Senator Eustis of Louisiana read some
history to show that political outrages were
not confined to the south. He showed that
a great many unlawful political acts had
been committed in Massachusetts,. This
made Senator Hoar of Massachusetts, ex-
ceedingly angry. In replying to the Louis
lana senator he exhibited a high degree of
feeling. He pounded his desk and strobe
over toward the democratic side, talking at
the top of his voice and gesticulating wildly.
Senator Eustis, observing the Massachusetts
senator advancing toward him. suddenly
arose and, with humorous expression on
his face, reiterated several desks away, as if
in fear of a personal attack. 1t was one of
the finest bits Of comedy ever witnessed in
the Senate, says correspondent, and SEN
ators and spectators in the galleries laughed
heartily and appiauded as they would fine
piece of character acting upon the stage
This little bit Of by-play on the part of the
Louisiana senator completely demolished the
force of Senator Hoar's argument, and the
latter soon subsidized
