Villas Makes n Discrimination as to "Fu-
ture' Trading.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-While Villas was
delivering his speech against the anti-op-
ton bill yesterday he laid special stress on
his opposition to the bill as it referred to
dealings in futures which were sustained
by the courts of all the states. A colloquy
ensued in which Washburn said his OBJ
ject was to prohibit the gambling transac-
tion-that in which neither party expected
any delivery of product to be made
which constituted % per cent of the trans
actions. Villas asked him il he would ac-
cept an amendment limiting the effect of
the bill to transactions where neither par
ty intended delivery. Washburn replied
no, because he believed it would be evadtd.
Congress Without Power Over Either.
Villas then said: off that can not be done
then the distinguished senator must admit
that there's a line of division, on the one side
of which are gambling contracts and on the
other side legitimate future contracts which
the courts of the states will enforce and
maintain. The senator mods his head in adj
mission of'the proposition. Now, once again.
1 say that with gambling contracts on the
black side of the line l have no further
dealing except to say that the constitu-
tional power of congress is just as little to
be invoked for that purpose as for the
other. But / address my argument partic
ularly to the lawful contracts on the other
side of that line of division; and 1 think /
may safely declare that congress has no
right to enter the domain of state to pro-
hibit its citizens the privilege of making
contracts expressed and designed to be en-
tirely performed within the state, and sane
toned by the laws of the state"

than 1880, in the time of Nuno de Guzman.
viceroy of New Spain (Mexico), remark
able story was told to friar of the CITY of
Mexico by an Indian. This red Joe Null
hatton said that directly north of the Mex
lean capital, about forty days journey,
there lay seven cities, each as large as the
City OF Mexico itself, where the inhabitants
did nothing but work in the various arts
in which gold and silver are EMPLOYED.
With the characteristic spirit of the in
vader Guzman sent an armed host in
search of the seven golden cities, but they
returned without accomplishing the object
of their mission.
Later on, about 1888, Mendoza, the then
viceroy of New Spain, sent Friar, de MIA
in quest of the 'Cities of Gold., After
his return to the capital MIA published a
narrative of his trip and adventures, in
which he says: II found Cevola, the larg-
est of the cities, to be place of very many
houses, all five stories high, all of the YES
sells and ornaments therein being of pure
gold. The people are white and use YES

Forty days journey north of the City of

have proved failures.-St. Louis Republic.
