An Honest COnfrssiou.

The Yuma TiTes comes manfully to the rescue of the last legislature and Mark Smith. Although Repub- lican in politics. it can be just 10 a honorable foe. It says: "It is alto gether likely that every bond issned in the last 90 years is payable ip gold, and if Arizona can sell her bonds on any other basis she will be doing some. thing unusual in a financial way. The gold lsuse is a necessary concession to circumstances. The territory needs the money badly. and it can only be had at the present time by offering a bond payable in gold, for which gold has been received. The financial centres have been ransacked for the past year for some one willing to take Arizona bonds for "lax xful money" with no takers. We are as strong a believer in donble standard, l6 10 ] free silver coinage as anybody, but when it comes to selling bonds ray able in lawful money" it cant be done just now."

STATUS OF THE BLAND BILL.
Speaker Crisp Refuse. to Aid In bringing
1t to a Vote.


Mr.. Crisp has deserted the STANDARD Of FREE
silver, at least FOR the present. When the
House met on Monday morning he announced
that the committee on rlles would 10; bring
ina rule to shut Of flabusterinc on the silver
bill unless requested 10 hy Il majority Of the
Demoafats. When this announcement va.
| made petition was Immediately drawn UP,
but it seems doubtful is the rrqulred number
of signatures will be obtained, as macy
Democrats decllned to sign it.
Mr.. Bland is not only disappointed but an.
CRY. He charges Speaker Crisp with bad
faith. He said:
II made the move that the House adjourn
on Thursday at the Instance Of the Speaker,
and with his emphatic statement that be
would report rule cutting of dlibusterlng
motions, and bring the bill TO a vote
''The next day / went into the Speakers
room and met Judge Crisp. He then advised
the Introduction Of rule to De voted on To-
day lMonday), preventing all Glibustering
motions, and compelling a vote upon the bill.
He wrote out the rule himself introduced
1t at his request and suggestion, aHd had It re-
ferred to his committee, with the distinct un-
derstandlns that the rule would be reported
to-day.
Il see al this time but very lttle hope Of
getting majority OF the members on a petit
tion asking that the rule be reported. OF
course the Speaker has great power and since
he has shown disposition 70 lay the bill on
the table, members who have confidence In
him will 90 with him and this leaves Us with
the bill. having not only the antl-frce-oolna-e
men as opponents, but also the Speaker oF,-
posed to il and those who personally follow
him. What may be the outcome can't say.
We can count a sufficient number Of members
who have been voting against consideration Of
the bill, who state emphatieally that they will
vote for the bill II it ever comes upon its pass
age, to give 1t from ten 10 twenty majority
Mr.. Crisp defends himself hy saying that
several Democrats who voted against tabling
the bill had come to him and requested that
that no cloture rule be brought in. and that
he had agreed at the opening Of the session
that he would not favor clotlire unless a ma
jority of the Democratic members indicated
desire for it.
