VOORHEES, SUBSTITUTE.
1t Will Be Taken Up in The Senate
To-day.

AS Heretofore Prehgured, the Wilson
Bill VIII Probably Give Way to the
Senate Measure, Because the Latter
Declares Bime.alIism to Be the
Theory of American Finance-Sen-
ator Gordon, on the Ground of His
Aversion to Delay in Settling the
Whole Question, Spoke Yesterday
Against the Substitute.
Washington, Aug. 2g.-Thc Senate COM
mittee on finance this morning decided to
report back to the Senate the Wilson re-
peal BILL with the recommendation that
the Voorhees, bin, already on the Senate
calendar be substituted for it. The
committee also resolved TO set aside the
national bank circulation bill, which is
now unfinished business in the Senate, in
iaVor OF the Voorhees, bill, ana press the
IaJJcr measure as rapidly as the temper
OF the Senate will permit. The difference
between the House bill and the voorhees,
Dill is found in the attachment to the lat
ter OF a paragraph declaring that it is the
polcy OF the United States to use both
GoIu ana silver as money metals and to
preserve their parity
WHAT THE SILVER MEN WILL Do.
The programme of the committee, as
far as il contemplates the setting aside
OF the national bank bill, can only be
carried out through the aid of majority
IN the Senate, for the national bank bill
cannot be Withdrawn. or set aside, save
through a majority vote i'm favor of the
consideration of the repeal bill The
silver men in the Senate profess to be in
different as TO which bill is considered by
the Senate, holding that the bank bill is
almost as Objectionable as the repeal
bill
But there are indications that the pro-
gramme willmeet with prolonged resist
ance, nevertheless, and the silver men
say they Will fight repeal at every step
hees bill to the Senate as substitute for
the House bill at 1918, and gave notice
that he would call IL nm Immediately

A Strong Point Made by Mr.. Cochran.

A Strong Point Made by Mr.. Cochran.
In his speech 10 favor Of the repeal Of
the sherman silver law last Saturday
Congressman Bourke Cochran called at
tention 70 the fact that the national dem
/. ocratic convention at Chicago did not re
ceive with favor a proposition TO commit
the party to the free and unlimited coin
age Of silver. Delegate Patterson, of Chi
/ cago, proposed as a substitute for the sill
yer plank Of the platform the free and I'M
limited coinage Of silver, and advocated
il very earnestly in a speech of consider
able length, but not a voice was raised in
support Of it. II received no attention
whatever.
If the Democr attic party is for the free
coinage Of silver under existing condi-
tions as some of its members claim, why
was it that Mr. Patterson's substitute
was ign ored? Was not the reception it
received pretty good indication that the
national democratic convention did not
intend TO commit the party to free sill
vcr coinaFe2 And yet there are demo-
cratic newspapers and democratic con-
gressmen who persistently declare that
the national democratic platform calls
for the free coinage Of silver
What the national democratic platform
calls for is sound money 1t favors the
free coinage of silver upon terms that
would make a silver dollar equal in in
trinsic value to a gold dollar but it does
not favor such free silver coinage as
Delegate Patterson wanted, nor as Mr..
90 J
ties want. They want debased silver dol
lara silver dollar that would be worth
only a little more than half as much as a
gold dollar-and TO the free-coinage of
that kind of a dollar neither the Demo
cratic party nor the American people will
ever consent.
A large portion of the people are sin
cere in their desire for an increase in the
volume of the currency, but they want
sound currency. They don't want a de-
based currency, and senators and repre-
sentatives who vote to force upon them
such a currency will not get their sup
port when they seek a reelection. There
are Democratic senator's who do not
seem to be familiar with the pro-
ceedings of the last national dem
ocratic convention, and whose knowledge
of the national democratic platform does
not appear to be very accurate. If it is
their purpose to remain il public life
they should study the wishes of their
constituents. They will be surprised
how few of them are willing that
debased currency shall be forced upon the
country to satisfy few silver producers.

The decisive majority by which free
] silver coinage at the ratio 81 lG 10 ! was
J defeated makes il certain that a free sil-
Yer coinage bill will not bc passed by this
] congress unless an international agree
/ mcut is reached by which parity between
silver currency and gold currency can be
I maintained The vote for free coinage Of
/ silver at any ratio greater than rs TO up
/ 10 ~ 10 was smaller than that at rs 10 !.
/ The sjlverites themselves do not want
! free silver coinage at ratio greater than
| % TO that is, they are not willing that
| silver shall be coined at a ratio that
would require a silver dollar to contain
| dollars worth Of silver Whatever. there
fore, the Senate may do, it is evident that
the House is solidlya against free silver
| coinage under existing conditions.
But what will the Senate dol There is
only one thing for it to do if it desires to
comply with the wishes of the people, and
that is to repeal the Sherman silver law
Internationally, Just as the House has
done fit should pass a free silver coin
age bill at the ratio of 10 TO 1, or any
other ratio up to 20 to /, the House would
the Senate receded from its position, the
sherman silver law would remain in
force. But it is difficult to see how the
Senate could consent TO an adjournment
without providing relief legislation of
some sort Indeed congress would not
dare toadjourn under such circumstances.
To leave the country without relief from
It's financial trouble would be productive
Of a greater panic than that which now
exists The sentiment against the Senate
would be so bitter that few, if any, of
those who opposed relief legislation would
ever be reelected, or honored with any
other political office
There is not much danger, however,
that the Senate will not follow the lead
of the House. The silverites, having been
so overwhelmingly defeated in the House,
realize that it would be folly to continue
the fight at any great length in the Sen
ate; and, besides, there are good reasons
for saying that a majority of the Senate
favors the unconditional repeal of the
Sherman law. Those who have been
counting upon majority of that body for
free silver coinage have not been able to
find out the sentiments of all the sena-
tors. Quite a number of the senator's
have not said whether or not they would
vote for the unconditional repeal of the
Sherman silver law. They have been wait
ing to see how the House stood, and now
that the House has acted they will make
up their minds to do what the President
recommended.
It's not at all improbable that a vote
will be reached in the Senate within a
very few days. There is no reason why
there should be further delay. There is
nothing new to be said on the silver ques-
ti9n and the country is impatient for ac-
tion. The senators themselves would like
to return to their homes for the next three
months, and they would give general sat
isfaction il they would pass at once to
the bill the House has passed or the Voor-
hees bin so that congress might adjourn

A Matter of Importance.

The whole force of the street and lane
department should be put to work open
ing drains from the puddles and ponds
within the city limits to where the water
can find an outlet into the main drains.
1t is matter of Importance that there
should be no stagnant pools In any por-
ton OF the city. The storm has filed the
low places and cutters with leaves and
grass which, under the hot rays of the
sun, will soon begin to decay and may
have the effect of producing sick
ness. We do not know that there
is any particular danger of
unusual sickness from the sources
pointed out, but it would be well not to
take any risk The fallen trees that do
not block the thoroughfares can remain
where they are until the drainage has
been attended to. They can be removed
a week hence just as well as at present.
On Sunday vast amount of water fell,
and necessarily there is a great deal of
water in low places in and about the city.
1t viii be some time before this water
will disappear unless assisted. Little
drains few inches deep will aid mate
rally in getting rid of it. The
city authorities, we are satisfied, are
alive to the Importance of this sugges-
tion relative to drainage, and win give
it the attention it deserves.
And the county authorities might uti-
lie the convict force to advantage in drain
ing the ponds and pools in the Immediate
vicinity of the city There are doubtless
a good many such ponds that may become
danger spots if not attend d to promptly
This special drainage work is of more
Importance than the regular county
work.

Elijah Morse, the stove-pOlish congress-
man from Massachusetts, has learned
that Commissioner of Pensions Lochren
is still a fighter, and that he is not 10 be
bamboozled by pompous man who hap
pens to be in congress Not long ago
Morse wrote to the commissioner demand
ing the immediate review and re-exami-
nation of particular pension case; 9th
erwise, - he wrote, Il shall call the atten-
tion of congress and the country to this
case at the first opportunity" The com
missioner's reply was right to the point:
Il shall have TO submit to this dire alter
native, for I assure you l will not order a
review or a denomination of the case. :"
And the commissioner went on to suggest
that the congressman was ian ill-in-
formed demagogue" with "a capacity for
willful and malignant lying" and afflicted
further with a development OF "sordid
meanness' which impclled him to wrong
fully use a government penalty envelope
TO convey n SILLY libel and thereby
'swindle his government out of the sum
of two cents" The SILLY libel" the
commissioner had reference to was con
tanned in a private letter written by
Morse to one of his constituents, in which
he said the confedorates were on TOP in
the pension bureau, and were revoking
ten pensions where they were granting
one. This letter was forwarded in a gov
ernment envelope, the wrongful use Of
which is punishable with fine Of $500

The Chattanooga Times thinks Atlanta

able voices and pen" in the city that are
doing so much fool blowing about At

vertise her as a yellow fever refuge camp"
She may expect 10 be quarantined against,
says the Times. Our Chattanooga friend

ing alarming IN the situation, at Atlanta
or elsewhere in Georgia. There is no
yellow fever in Georgia or in the United
States.
