ocratlc convention adopted a plank in Its
platform contaiping a declaration In favor
Of allo wing national banks to issue currency
bonds, aud now Senator VOORHEES, OF Indi-
ana has troduced bill to carry out in Of
feet this declaration OF tho Ohio democratic
platform. 1t Is estimated that, IL this bill
euthoriz ne the comptroller OF the treasury to
furnish national banks with circulating notss
equal In amount to the par value OF bonds
held by them respectively, were to become
law, it would expand tho currency some
$50, 000 900, since the banks under existing
statutes can only claim from the govern
ment notes to tho extent Of ninety PER cent
of the United States bonds that they own.
The statements Of the W ashingt ton CORE
spondent of tho New York Post go TO show
that the friends OF thi, measure are ex.
tremely confident OF its passage and well
they may he for Senator Voorhees,, its
author is chairman of the Senate finance
committee, and the measure is pretty GER
tain to command almost the full support of
the republicans in both Houses 1t is said
also that the representatives from the
South, where the principal opposition to
this step has her etofore existed, are comm &
out in favor OF the measure as one Of the
means OF satisfying the demand for more
money which is so persistent in that sec
ton, especially.
Senator Voorhees, in pressing this meas-
urs appears to be careful to have it under
stood that he is not impoIled to this step by
any feeling OF friendiness on his part tow
ard the national banks, hut that he resorts
to this means espeo ally to help relieve the
financial strpgency which is depressing the
business and industries OF the whole couu
try. 1t is not time to stop to inquire a
to motives that inspire any step calculated
to assist in the solution of the serious prob
lens which now face the people and espec
tally their representatives in Congress as
semblod.
We notice that the extreme silver men in
the Senate who were inclined to load this
n e lsure with amendments as riders, In the
belief that they could in this way secure the
support OF the republicans in many in
stances, On tho ground that tie latter
would not care to vote against bill in full
aCcoru WIN tue republican party
policy, have suddenly decided tC
adont as their beast OF burden
the Lodge resolution, evidently having dis
covered that If they antagoniEed Senator
| VOORHEES, in this direct way they nigh
seriously endsnger the chances Of any sill
yer legislation that they might hereafter
propose. Secretary Carlisle is al'o leading
his influence to aid in pushing th!,
mea,ure and the outlook for the passage o.
the bill seems to DO particularly encouras

POLITICAL POINTS.

It seems to be generally conceded that
Judge Wilson of West Virginia Wilt be
chairman of tho committee on ways and
means, although neither Mr.. Wil'on nor his
friends have any positive assurances on the
subject.
Minister Bount In q interview In Homo
lulu, said he knew nothing about the rumor
that he would be nominated for governor of
Georgia. He expects to be relieved OF the
mlnlstorship, aud awaits news to that effect
by the next steamer.
Vice President Stevenson must have q
peculiar sensation as he reads and hears
every where tho statement that MIR. Clevs-
lands health must be procured, or else the
country will go to the dogs.
Lawrence 4. Neel democratic candidate
for governor in ohio, says he Is willing to
meet Gov. Mckinley Ia joint debate, but
that does not prove that he Is correct.
Gen. William T. Malone of Virginia Is
opposed to any republican -populist comb
nation in that State. The StSe committee
has decided not 10 nomniste any State
ticket this fall
James p. Seward of Mansfield, who last
week at the Ohio democratic State con
vention decline the chairmanship of the
State copmittee has reconsidered the mat.
ter and accepted.
1t is reasonably certain, says the Albany
Journal, that the democratic State commit
tee will meet at Saratoga on August 29 or
%, and that it will call the State ven
ton to he held in Albany, not later than
Septembnr 2O. The republican State com
mittse viii not meet until September, and
will, it is thought, call the State conven-
ton for the last week in September or the
first week in October at Syracuse.
Barring accident, the nomination OF A..
A. Pilisbury for governor is pretty nearly
certainty by the Massachusetts, repubi-
cans.
Chairman j. p. Seward OF the Ohio dem
| ocratic state executive committee, has an =
nounced that the campaign will be formally

DR.. Carl Peters, tho African explorer in
the employ Of the G. erman government who
has just arrived in this country, expresses
the opinion that Emn Pasha Is not dead
az Stanley thinks, and in support of his
statement he says that he received inie Ii
gence of Il min Pesha no longer than three
weeks ago. although that explorer has not
been seen for year and half. Contrary
to general opinion DIR. Petors says that tue
northern part of Africa remains to be ex-
plored and he looks for many in
teresting developments lie think, the
prospects of Africa very great,
although 1t will resemble South
America, in hi, opinion, more than 1t will
North America. There are many Undue
trious tribes, and the,e will flourish and re
main, but the tribes that steal and murder
will undoubtedly be eItermnated IN the
course OF time. The doctor has heard of
the tradition of white people originally set
Ting in the heart Of Africa, and no sees no
reason for doubling that years ago white
people had a great empire around the lakes.
This being the case Rider Haggard may
have written better than he knew.

EX-MlNiSTEa PHELPS REPLIES.

he Does Not Agree With tho Washington
Lawyer About Our Los, Through the
Boring Decisior.
The attention OF ex Minister T.. J. Phelps
was directed to copy OF the remarks OF a
Washington lawyer quoted in the FREE
PRESS of elsewhere, to the effect that this
country had lost its control of the seal in
dustry through tho Boring decision and the
waters of Alaska were thrown open to
every poacher in the world except those of
England aud America. Mr. Phelps spoke
OF the matter as follows:
81 do not think the specuatous of this
writer are of any consequences. he evil
IDENTIFY does not know much about the case
and | do not understand what he says or
what he means. The real question, and
tho only material question involved in the
arbitration, was whether the seals should be
protected from determination. 1t was con p
tended on the part OF the United States
that pelagic sealing, that is TO say the pur-
suit OF the seals in the sea, was not only
barbarous and Thurman, but also neces-
sarily destructive to the. race, and that
it ought to be prohibited. 1t was contend
ed on the part of Great Britain that pelagic
sealing was a right that could not be inter
fersd with, whether it was destructive or
tended by the United States, and that only
such regulations should be adopted as were
consistent with the prosperity OF the busi-
ness OF hunting seals in the water.
The tribunal has imposed such restric-
tons upon that business as must virtually
put an end to it, since under III oss regula-
tions it can no longer bs pursued with
profit.
This decision is, OF course, satisfactory tc
us because 1T gives us substantially all tnai
was contended for, and almost all that W,
claimed In the outset of the discussion under
Mr.. Cleveland's former administration, anc
1t gives us more than Mr.. Blaine propose
to accept during the subsequent negotia

As the FREE Press representative aros
to take his departure he took the liberty Il
tell the distinguished lawyer that all Yer
mentors, and especially Burlingtonians
were glad to have him among them one
more. MIR. Phelps replied that he was gla'
to return to his home, and although Their
were great many!nics things about Paris
he liked Vermont best of all.
Mr.. Phelps is In very good health, and a
usual, isa busy man.

Congressman Grout was lately reported
as saying that he was not in favor of the
repeal of the Sherman silver law unless
some satisfactory substitute is enacted.
This report statement has been made the
text for some unfavorable comment, notably
by the Rutland H,rald.
We are not authorized to speak for Gen.
Grout but we can safely say that he is as
strong an anti-slver man there is in
Vermont. As we understand 1t, his idea is
not that the Sherman law should be re-
placed by some other silver measure, but
that the law should not be repealed without
provision being made for adding to the cur
rsncy. For this purpose, he is strongly in
favor OF q law authorizing national banks
to issue circulation to the full extent of
their bonds.
That, as we understand it, is the extent
Of Gen. CIRCUITS opposition to repeal.

One of the most significant signs Of tho

for the Northern Pacific railroad, upon the
petition Of the Farmers Loan and Trust
company. Vermont has a greater interest
10 this railroad than in any other Western

Vermontsrs as the late Ex-Governor J.
Gregory Smith of st. Adams, the late

have been prominently connected with it at
