Silver and the Tariff.

The battle over the silver repeal bill
in the senate goes on apace and grows
warmer. 1t is the policy of the silver
men to avoid a vote, and VOORHEES,,
the administration leader for repeal,
is using every possible method to
force the issue Several of the silver
senators have received letters threat
ening them with dynamite bomb if
they do not consent to repeal. Cleve-
land shows no sign OF compromise,
but insists upon unconditional repeal,
which means the absolute demOneti-
zation of the white metal. The silver
men fear that if the repeal goes, they
will not be able to pass subsequent
bill to save it. Hence their hard
fight. On the Dist inst, Senator White
of California addressed the senate on
the measure, and in the course of
four-hours speech, scored the presi-
dent severely, charging him with be-
ing a traitor to the Chicago platform,
and declaring that Cleveland and the
congressman who had Topped had no
honorable course but to resign. AS
White is the democratic leader of this
state, his remarks created q sensation.
In the house hot fight is going on
because of the efforts of the democrats
to repeal the federal election laws
which have been in force since war
times. These laws give the govern
ment a certain supervision over cleo
tions, and are a check to fraud. The
repeal bill will doubtless pass the
house with the full democratic vote.
The senate will be close.
1t is announced that the new tariff
bill will be ready for submission
within a month. 1t is believed it will
be the Mckinley act patched up, as
some of the strongest appeals for the
maint enance of the protective tariff
have come from the southern states
and from democrats. There is NJ
much prospect of the sugar bounty
being withdrawn, as there have been
strong protests against such n course.
The Geary Law.
The Geary exclusion law is still in
badly mixed condition. The ad-
ministration continues to instruct
officials to not enforce the measure,
while at the same time the supreme
court has decided the law constitu-
tional, and the United States circuit
judges are ordering the deportation OF
Chinese convicted under the deporta-
ton clause for non-registration. AS
the courts have refused to take orders
from Cleveland and Carlisle, and the
latter will not furnish money from
the fund to deport the Chinese, there
is liable to be fine row in the near
future. Cleveland is severely de-
nounced by his party for his course,
the Examiner (democratic) of this
CITY having declared him a Car, and
charged him with violating the Con-
stitution. The administration is now
endeavoring to pass an amendment to
the Geary law to give the Chinese six
months more to register, and to prac-
ticaIIy make the law worthless. He
will probably succeed against the eff
forts of the Pacific Coast delegation.
