BRYAN AS A GRAvE-DIGGER.

Congressman Bland, of Missouri,
in aletter sent toa colleague in Wash
ington, announces that he has selected
for his chief lieutenant in the cam
paign for free silver young Congress
man Bryan, of Nebraska, who made
his mark in the last Congress, Mr..
Bryan will be remembered as bril-
liant young man from Nebraska whose
free-trade views threw even the Mills
wing of the Democratic party in the
shade.
Mr.. Bryan is alert and good talker.
He is also popular and pleasant per
sonally, qualities in which Congress"
man Bland is VIGOROUSLY deficient. 1t
is an open secret that Mr.. Bland is I'M
popular even with the men who follow
the cause he so conspicuously repre-
sents. He is not a good leader and does
not even possess that quickness at
parliamentary practice which his long
service in the House could have given
him. He expects that Mr.. Bryan will
beo service to him in all these mat
tiers.
Mr.. Bryan's friends hope that the
dangerous prominence of being Mr..
BANDS first lieutenant will not prove
fatal, as it did to Mr.. Pierre, of Tennes'
see, who was in the last silver fight
what Mr.. Bryan is to be In the next.
OF the entire Tennessee delegation in
Congress every man was renominated
and reelected without struggle, ex-
cept Mr.. Pierce, who failed of renomi-
nation. The Nashville American, the
leading paper of Tennessee, signifi-
cantly pointed to Mr.. Pierce's defeat
as the most striking evidence that the
South is recovering from the silver
craze.
In the letter received from Mr.. Bland
the free-coinage leader practically ad.
mits that he does not expect to be
Chairman OF the Coinage, weights and
Measures Committee, a place he has
held in Democratic Houses time out
of mind. He admits that the new sit
uation will be more satisfactory to
him than to be chairman OF the com
mittee, majority Of which would hold

EX-SENATOR FAREWELL.
HE WRITES SECRETARY CARLISLE
ALETTER ON FINANCES.
Young Bryan Selected as the Grave.
Digger.

Ex-senator Farwell, OF Chicago, has
written a letter to Secretary Carlisle
on the financial situation. Mr.. Farwell
was for so many years the foremost
business man in the city OF Chicago
that his views are OF interest. He says
in part
"In the first place, l would provide
for the funding and refunding of all
the National debt, including bond,
greenback, silver certificates and
Treasury notes, into bonds running
1000 years and bearing 2 per cent.
interest. / would authorize the Ma
tional banks to use these bonds at par
as basis for their issues. They would
take all these bonds at par.
"I recommend the repeal Of the
Sub-treasury act. This act, as you
know, was conceived in haste, and has
never been any benefit to anybody.
The Government, by continuing to
use the Sub-treasury, discredits and
shows no confidence in the national
banks, which it has created and which
it superyises, and its example is fol
lowed by timid people withdrawing
their money from national and othel
banks and in placing it in safety de
post vaults, thereby adding to the in
tensity of the present panic. The Sec
rotary of the Treasury should be au
thorized, upon the repeal of this act
to direct his collectors to deposit TIT
revenues of the national banks selected
by him at the points where these rev
enues are collected. This would d.
away with the expense of keeping VI
the different Sub.treasuries of tn
country, which is probably not les
than 100000 per annum.

age and provide that silver shall be
