Oppose the Bill,

WASHING TON, Jan. 9.-Considerab l e
opposition has beer aroused against
the bill recently introduced by SEN
ator Chandler, which in it's effect
makes practically unlawful all ind =
pendent military organizations in the
United States not connected to the
National Guard. The regular State
militia organizations favor the bill,
as they always resented the as
sumption of social superiority of the
independent organizations. While
the bill is earnestly advocated by the
National Guard, almost every large
city in the United States mas its crack
military organization not connected
with the National Guard, and they
will doubtless oppose the bill atevery
stage. Arrangements are being made
by the National Rifles of this city. one
of the independent organizations, to APP
pear before the House Military Affairs
Committee and oppose it in it's pre-, emit
shape, and it is probable that the
friends of the respective independent
organizations in other cities will unite
in opposition to the passage of the
measure unless amended.

James Corbett and Joe Goddard, of

case Involving the Right of Man to Hold
stat. and Federal offices.
Washington, ID. c., Jan. THE post
office department is having a great deal
of trouble in settling the question of
eligibility raised against the right Of
postmasters to hold seats in the state
legislature or to act as county officers.
There are many instances where such
postmasters have sought to qualify and
have been confronted with the consti-
tutional prohibition.
One such case from KeWaunee county,
Wis, has just been settled. The post
master at Luxembourg was elected to the
assembly and subsequently discovered
that he would either have to give up his
postoffice or forfeit his seat in the legls-
lature. He chose the former course. 1t
remains to be determined whether he
should not have resigned the post-office
before the election and established his
eligibility before the votes were counted.
There have been numerous such cases
from Michigan, Minnesota and other
western states.

Philadelphia, Pa, Jan. AT Read

80, 1892, showed a net profit of Sc, 49,
147. The net profit of the Coal & Iron
company for the year makes a total for
all of S3,1S1, 1856.
The report refers to the lease of the
Lehigh Valley railroad system, and
says the net traffic earnings of this
system have already increased about
$1,O0O,0OO since it's acquisition by the
Reading. The combination has been
assaulted in various quarters as being
in contravention of the law, but the
points involved, the report says, were
carefully considered by able counsel be-

and pending legal proceedings will, it is
believed, determine the validity of the

SILVER IN THE SENATE,
Senator Mcpherson Argues for the Repeal
of the Sherman Act

of the Sherman Act
WASHINGTON, Jan. 9-Senator Nc.
Pherson to-day addressed the Senate
on the joint resolution introduced by
him Dee. FL directing the Secretary of
the Treasury to suspend all purchases
of silver bullion under the Sherman
act of 1882. He said that the
Democratic convention at Chicago
denounced the sherman bill as a cow
ardly makeshift and the people
followed that up by giving Grover
Cleveland 100 majority in the electoral
college. The people now wanted to
know if the pledge for the repeal of
the law was to be fulfilled. Senator
Hill had introduced repeating
law, but the enemies of sound money
had, through Senator Stewart, brought
forward the old scheme to foiSt on the
people the dollar of the daddies'' and
open wide the mints. 1t was time the
people knew how the lawmakers stood
on this subject.
Senator Teller declared, with much
emphasis, that the Sherman law would
not be repealed at this Congress. That,
he said, was morally certain, and those
who desired its repeal might as well
arrange their financial affairs and
their financial views with that full I'M
derstanding.
The House committee on banking
and currency has ordered favora BILE
report on the Andrews bill, with an
amendment offered by Mr.. Cate of Ar
kansas, providing for the coinage of
all the silver bullion now in the Treas
ury. The bill as reported repeats the
Sherman law for the purchase of
bullion.
