The silver bill, as passed by the
Senate last week, is a free coinage
measure, pure and simple, free from
all national bank and bond legisla-
ton contained in the financial bill
With the exception of a slight tech
nical amendment and the omission
Of the provision for covering into
the treasury the national bank re-
demption fund, the bill is like that
passed by the Senate last year,
which was the basis of the COM
promise embodied in the present
law. The bill is as follows:
AN ACT-To provide for the free coinage of gold
and silver bullion and for other purposes.
That from and after the date OF
the passage of this act the unit Of
value in the United States shall be
dollar, and the same may be coin
ed of 412B grains of standard silver,
or of 25S-10 grains ofstandard gold,
and said coins shall be legal tender
for all debts public and private.
That hereafter any owners OF sill
yer or gold bullion may deposit the
same at any mint Of the United
States to be formed into standard
dollars or bars for his benefit, and
without charge; but it shall be
lawful to refuse any deposit Of less
value than 500, or any bullion SC
base as to be unsuitable for the op.
erations of the mint.
SECTION 2. That the provisions
of section 3, of "an act to authorize
the coinage of a standard silver

dollar and to restore its legal tend
er character" which became a law
February 28, 1878, is hereby made
applicable to coinage in this act
provided for;
Sec. 3. That the certificates pro-
vided for in section 2, of this act,
shall be Of denomination of not less
than 81, nor more than 500, and
such certificates shall be redeema-
BILE in coin of standard value. A
sufficient sum to carry out the pro-
visions of this act is hereby appro-
priated out Of any money in the
treasury not otherwise appropria-
ted /; so much of the act Of July Ia,
1890, entitled can act directing the
purchase of silver bullion and the
issue Of treasury notes and for 9th
er purposes" as requires the pur-
chase of 100000 ounces of silver
bullion per month, be and the same
is hereby repealed.
Sec. 4. That the certificates pro-
! vided for in this act. and all silver
and gold certificates already issued,
shall be receivable for all taxes and
dues to the United States Of every
description, and shall be legal tend
er for the payment Of all debts, pub.
lie and private.
SEC. 5. The owners Of bullion de-
posted for coinage shall have the
option to receive coin or It's equiv
alent in certificates provided for il
this act, and such bullion shall b'
subsequently coined.

prices and initiation, hardly consti-
tute fair comparison. On the
whole, / think the rapid increase
in the States revenues from this
source, in late years, rising as they
have from 1857, 1882 in 1885 to
$486, ,28103 in 1890, presents an
encouraging prospect, and speaks
we'll for the efficiency of the pres
ent management of the company,
under which, if continued, we may
reasonably expect the annual rev.
enues Of the State from this source
will not hereafter fall below half
million dollars. The further build
ing Of new competing lines of rail-
road such as have of late years
greatly reduced the gross earnings
Of the road below what they would
otherwise have been, having en-
tirely ceased, there seems cause to
hope for gradual and healthy
growth in the revenue of the lines
in which the State will share with
the owners Of the stock"

The IUinOis Central RaiIroad.

The following extract from the
message of the governor Of Illinois
to the Legislature in regard to the
above road is certainly very fine
showing. 1t is said that the direct
tax paid to the State Of Illinois by
this road has been sufficient in
many of the past years to pay the
entire expenses Of the State gov
ernment:
"The Illinois Central Railroad
sustains such special relations to
the State government of Illinois,
in addition to those important re-
lations it shares in common with all
other roads of the State, that its af-
fairs may properly be made the
subject of special mention in this
message.
"Under the wise provision which
retained to the State, in considera-
ton of the franchise, and valuable
lands granted to this company, an
interest to the extent Of Z per cent.
of the gross earnings of the road,
to be paid annually into the State
treasury, there has been paid to the
State, all told, for the years 1855 to
1890, inclusive, the sum Of $l2,-
365,618. Upon the $40,000,000 Of
capital stock Of the company paid
in there was paid as dividends il
the same period the sum Of $64,-
782,357, showing that an amount
slightly exceeding 10 per cent. oI

A SHOW DAY FOX HORSEMEN.

In great live stock sections of some states
it is the custom, and a very attractive and
profitable one, for the owners Of stations
and breeders to have a Show Day, upon
which, at some convenient or central city,
all the superior breeding animals are
brought by their owners, which affords all
other breeders and owners Of mares to in
spect and compare and determine where
he would like to breed. Now Sedgwick
and adjoining counties boast of many fine
stations, some of a national reputation
among horsemen. Why not have Show
Day Our representative in speaking to
breeder about this, was told that the idea
would be a capital and popular one, and
suggested that meeting ought TO be ap-
pointed for Wichita for some day early in
May. It would be matter OF little ex-
peuse, and the show would be attractive to
many not in the business. 1t would bring
many farmers who have mares to town TO
look the field over. The columns Of the
EAGLE are open to the horsenen of this
and surrounding counties on this subject.

THE GOLDEN GRAIN BELT OF The WORLD

The annual slurs and slams against
Kansas are on their spring rounds now,
and Kansas defenders are bobbing up pro-
miscously. The days for such nonsense
are about over. Kansas can't any longer
be hurt with lies and the state needs no
defense. She will just as surely hold her
own from this on as the greatest and
most desirable agricultural state as that
Colorado will hold her own as the leading
state for precious ores There is an agri-
cultural belt OF land running from, and
including the Dakotas, to the Gulf OF
Mexico, from 100 to 200 miles wide and
200 or 1,50Q miles in length. In the center
of this belt lies Kansas, midway from
Lakes to Gulf, midway from ocean TO
ocean. This belt is one continuous agri-
cultural plain crossed and recrossed and
watered by many streams, but it IS broken
by no range of mountains, hills or bluffs.
No such another belt of arrable lands can
be found on any continent Of the globe. Il
bears from the north little east of south
and for long distance takes in the Mis-
souri, valley, the east half OF Nebraska,
the east half of Kansas, the east half Of
the Indian territory and the east half of
Texas, and il is the future golden grain
belt of the world
