The interest in the silver discussion showed
no sign of abatement this morning. The gal
leries were well filed long before the hour OF
| noon and the attendance on the floor was a
large one.
Mr.. Bland (Mo) Immediately after the read
ing of the journal demanded the regular order,
and the speaker proceeded to call the CON-
mittees for reports.
Mr.. Townsend Col }. from the committee
on mines and mining. reported a bill to aid the
state Of Colorado to support a school of mines.
Committee of the whole.
Bills were reported for the erection of pub
lie buildings at Oakland, Cal; Fond du Lac.
Wis; Salem, Ore, and Helena. Mout., and
they were placed on the calendar.
The silver bill was then taken up. and Mr.
Bland (Mo.) gave notice that Tin order to per-
weights and measures to address the House, he
would not call the previous question until s
o'clock.
Mr.. WILLIAMS OF ILLINOIS.
Mr.. Williams QlL) contended that in order
to have a fair and equal dollar the amount of
currency should increase as the demand for ii
increased. Much had been said recently about
dishonest dollar. II we had such dollar it
was made SO by legislation and maintained as
| such by the republican party.
While be did not believe in 7o-cent dollar.
| neither did he believe in a 140-cent dollar. The
former was as honest a dollar as the latter.
(Applause) He believed in huntlred-cent
dollar. The power to declare what
should be the unit OF value was
vested in Congress, and Congress had no more
| important duty to perform than to fix and
maintain unit of value that was fair to the
creditor and the debtor alike-a unit of yalue
by which every piece of property and every
day 3 labor could be measured. This bill did
not provide for imitation: it provided for a
reasonable increase of currency.
SOME STATEMENTS coSTRovERrEp.
Mr.. Williams then proceeded to contro-
vert the argument that the passage of the
bill would have the effect of dumping
into the United States all the silver OF
Euio pe. 1t was said that this legislation
would drive the gold dollar out of the country.
He recognized that sad prediction as one which
had been made by the same gentlemen in 1878.
1t had then been said that silver coin
Was so obnoxious to its yellow brother
that it would drive him out Of the
country. In spite of this prediction the United
States had today over $500 ,o0o, 900 of gold
Gold would not be driven cut. The gentleman
il We wished TO force Europe to double
standard we must stop coming silver.
They would be forced TO the double standard
only after England had taken from the United
States, with the securities she held against
it, every dollar of American gold. FREQ
coinage would not drive gold out
Of the country. IT it went abroad it would 90
in the payment of our bonds and securities
and in the settlement OF the balance OF trade
1t would be better to have silver than no metal

Such a machine would be a dead
investment in competition with Bro.

itorials written in Chicago and sold
in stereotype form, at so much per

matter is. Fiji chose to do so the

cheap as the Leader. On home
matters n editorial stating that the
Leaders efforts are not true would
answer for nine pieces out of every

brains be to a man, unless the Lea.

ever. Bro. Knapp would not know it

BY a careful perusal of the pro-
ceedings ofthe board of county COM
mi,sioners it will be seen shat the
county attorney has handed in no
written opinion as to what recourse
the county has fr recovering the
money paid for the services of The
experts, as he was by resolution
ordered to do at this session. Nor
has he begun suit to collect such
taxes as have been evaded by par
ties, where the property had passed
into the hands of innocent purchas-
ers,hy taking advantage ola previous
resolution authorizing the treasurer
TO accept the face Of the tax in full,
IN certain cases. Since Mr.. Miller
has not Performed the services he
was asked TO preform, the board re-
fused to allow his bill for the quar-
ter. HE who will not work shall

There is no question OF doubt but
that the election was illegal, aud
that both factions were to blame.
1t is a matter of serious doubt
whether the future acts of the pres
ent council would be legal. This
object Mayor Murphey had in view
when he issued his ultimatum.-
Lent'cr.
Well, I wantto know! If the cleo
ton was illegal, would the installing
OF the officers who received the
smallest number Of votes make it
legal? Mr.. Murphey declared their
election legal, by ordering c~ertiti-
Gates Of election Issued. Had
this taken place in the South it
might have been considered legal
butnever here--never. Ifhethought
the election illegal, why did he not
call a new election? Was there any
question as to what is the will Of the
people?
