Secretary Foster has about SlS, 600, 00O
in silver half dollars in the treasury,
which he is very anxious to get into
circulation, and it has been about de
cided to withdraw, gradually, enough
of the S24 100000 now on deposit with
the two hundred national banks, which
are designated government repositories,

silver half dollars, SO no one need be
surprised to find the national banks
paying out an unusual number of silver
half dollars. 1t is expected that the
transfer will be effected by July /, on
which date the Treasury department
will have to pay out about $50, 900, 0OC

The Elections Bill.

While there IS little or no hope that the
federal elections bill can be again taken up
and pressed to passage by the Senate, it
is still well enough to keep before the pub
lie the main features of the measure in
order that all may see Just what sort of a
bill it is which the democrats and silver re-
publcans in the United States Senate re
fuse to permit to become law. As aptly
summarized by the New York Tribune, the
bill enacts the Australian system of voting
for any congressional district where the
people, in formal petition, charge that
elections IRE not being properly conducted.
it provides for registration of all per-
sons entitled to vote in that particular dis
trict
1t provides for the appointment by the
federal courts Of supervisors to superintend
this registration md watch the election
when it occurs, These officers and all APP
pointed under tho act must bs of different
political parties.
Il makes provisions as to the manner OF
taking the vote designed to insure the free
dom Of the voter from all kinds of inter-
ference; as for instance, that the ballot
hox shall be placed in full view OF the voter
and of all The election officers, national and
local, 50 that he and they can both see that
his folded ballot is actually placed, as he
offered it, in the box.
It makes false registration. intimidation
and bribery crimes.
