REPEAL BILL.
n a Compromise Measure Is
Reached 1t Win Be Vetoed
That Is the situation "a Given out Iyy High
Authority-No Compromise OF Any
Description VIII Ever BE Signed
By President Cleveland.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 4-Readers of
Washington dispatches concerning
compromise in the senate should bear
in mind the fact that in what is said
the president is not taken into consid-
GRAFTON in the calculation, and he is =
highly important factor.
The matter of some compromise
measure is spoken of only as il concerns
the senate, and tho statement that a
compromise is bound to come or will
not come, means only that such is tho
prospect in the senate as between tho
warning factions over the silver ques-
ton. 1t does not mean that a com
promise bill may or may not become a
bill
So long as the president maintains
his attitude of opposition to anything
but unconditional repeal, all the COM
promise talk is the idle gossip OF an
empty day. The senators may COM
promise till the cows come home, and
any measure short of unconditional re-
peal they send to the president for his
signature will receive instead the dead
ly sign of the veto.
There is no reason TO suppose that
the president has changed from the
position taken in his message, and en-
phasized later in the letter 10 Gov.
Northen.
On the contrary, il is given out by his
organ, the Philadelphia Ledger. in
italicized type, and from the highest
authority that no compromise meas
ure of any description will ever DO
signed by the president. That, too, is
the understanding here among those
closest to Cleveland, and that diagnosis
of the situation is believed on all hands
to be correct. This being SO, the SEN
ate must pass an unconditional re-
peal bill, or there will be no action
on the matter by this congress
With this measure the others would 90
to the morgue and really the chances
now are stronger that nothing what
ever will be done as that there will be
any action at all.
This has been Senator Frye's idea
from the beginning. Mr.. Henderson
still believes in compromise, and the
propositions he advocates were given
exclusively in these dispatches last
Sunday, and they have appeared Tues
day morning as fresh matter in the
eastern papers.
Mr.. Voorhees, still expresses himself
as confident of the passage of the con-
ditional repeal There is no satisfac-
ton in the situation. 1t is as mixed
and uncertain as ever, with no human
possibility of fortelling the outcome, or
foreshadowing it even.

SILVER QUESTION.
Probability That the Agony WIN Re
Over In Two Weeks.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-Two weeks
more and the silver question ought -
be over, says n special 20 the Cincin-
natl Enquirer. The temper of every
honest effort now directed is for settle
ment. Even the manifestation comes
from New York that rather than have
the question drag indefinitely n settle
ment on the best attainable terms
should be made
The air is now full of compromise.
That such will be the outcome seems
assured There will be continued de-
bate, some hot interchanges, pro-
tracted sessions, and every means taken
TO enforce "A vote on naked repeal
That such vote will ever be had is
improbable.
The stage of this fight has been
reached when truth can be told. It
ought TO be known all over that there
are not more than twenty senator's
who, in their heart of hearts, want a
vote. A class claimed for repeal, and
who will vote for it on the pinch,
give covert aid TO the silver
men who fight in the open. This
is the secret of silver defiance. 1t is the
index that every extremity of the ad-
ministration win fail Night sessions
will have no baleful effect. But they
must be held to convince both the pres
ident and the class crying repeal. re-
peal, that repeal is impossible. II can
be had If n direct vote can be enforced.
but this can only be had with closure
To attempt closure would only involve
collateral fight as bitter and pro-
tracted as the one now on.
III, Al IL
can be worn out is puerile. They can
keep up the line of debate a year
There is no power under the senate
rules TO intercept. The report that the
vice president could at some stage
bring on a coup d'etat is idle. TO at
tempt it he would usurp his functions
SO in the condition existing there is
but one final act to come. 1t is 20 make
grand rallying charge. 1t will be
made. II will have to the super
fetal eye the appearance of n
general assault. But it will not
be genuine. Men engaged in battle
in which there is no fear of bullets
can be brave and bare the breast
They can defy the forces opposing
These men bid defiance. The climax
of the struggle may run forty hours of
continuous session. 1t may, and will
lead to evaporation and recrimina-
tions. But the end will be where the
act began. The plot win not be seen
even through the lenses of a glass.
Physical fatigue will finally ring down
the curtain, and then will come that
which always comes of contention
compromise.
1t is the real situation here, and'there
is no Disgusting it.
Mr.. Blackburn to-day was ready with
a compromise amendment. Briefly put,
it provides for the free coinage of the
products of American silver mines, the
government 70 take the seigniorage
above the market value, which may be
] sold TO keep the gold reserved.

WASHINGTON. Oct again the fog
lifts. There are indications of a solu-
ton of the silver problem. II is yet

for terms IL is simple and without
ambiguity of language. IL provides
that the existing sherman law shall
remain on the statute books for three
additional years, and the monthly
purchase of silver be reduced from
$500. 600 ounces TO $500. 600 ounces :, n

PRIVATE PENSIONS.

1t Looks Now As II their Days We're
Numbered.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 5-As usual. on
the meeting of new congress the
committee on pensions it deluged with
private bills, which require an extra
detail of clerks to handle them. Sc
far this season there have been nearly
500 measures OF this character referred
TO that committee, but most of them
are those that failed to be acted upon
last season, and their. prospects are not
favorable now.
The days of the private pension bill
appear to be numbered. During the
Fifty-tirst congress about !, 400 of this
character passed, and the two previous
congresses We're quite as liberal, but
last session only 200 went through. The
committee this session will be even
more stringent in regard to them.
1t has been discovered that the act Of
June %, 1890. reaches the case of IA great
many persons who seek pensions
through Legislative action, which re-
lieves the committee OK n vast amount
