cULBERsoN's SILVER BILL.

Hon. ID. b. Culberson, of Texas, has
gotten up a splendid free coinage bill,
which he will introduce in Congress.
AS it possesses real merit and is in
the right direction, we trust il will be
passed and become law.
His bill requires the outstanding
notes issued for the purchase of bull
lion to be redeemed when presented,
out of the current receipts of the Gov
ernment and when redeemed shall
not be reissued, as the law requires
Mr. Culberson thinks that such a
measure would not conflict with the
Chicago platform. That platform de-
mands the repeal of the Sherman law,
but it also commits the party TO the
doctrine of bimetallsm and the coin
age of silver and gold without dis
elimination. Congress must fix the
ratio, 1t is quite impossible for Con-
gress to agree upon proper ratio un-
til the relative value of the two metals
and consequently the proper ratio TO
be fixed is established, but will guard
the flow of silver iuto circulation and
thereby prevent any scare as TO an
overflow. In other words we need
the Bland act as safe, conservative
guide by which to carry out the Chi
cago platform. Besides, the coinage
of the $125,O00O00 out of the bullion
now on hand viii give the Democratic
administration fund sufficient to tide
over any deficiency likely to occur. II
will be in the nature Of an increase Of
the volume of currency as the ninety
million of notes issued for the pur-
chase of the bullion will not likely be
presented for redemption for years to
come except in small sums.
Mr.. Culberson thinks the Democrat
ic administration would favor this
temporary adjustment. The South
and West will not submit to the repeal
of the Sherman law outright They
are willing to repeal it if some consid-
crate one shall pass TO secure silver
but not otherwise. Mr.. Culberson is
a free silver advocate, but thinks that
the only proper and safe way to reach
it is through some safe channel as pro
posed by his bill.

AN INTERESTING EVENT.

On last evening at the hospitable
home of Col. John w. IIallum, in this
city, were assembled party of gen.
tlemen composed as follows: Col. J.

Mayor W. II. Arnold, Alderman w.

5 A Gibson, A b Matson, NJ S S'og | ,
r. III Munson and w II Ward, Who
had been invited TO be present at Ire
reading of a paper on local Sanitary
Measures and general Sanitation, pre-
pared by Engineer Coates, now Of
this city, to be read before the State
Society of Michigan engineers, at their
approaching annual meeting in the
city of Detroit. The paper, as read
by Mr. Coates, both from scientific
and literary standpoint, proved a
most able, interesting aud exhaustive
document, taking up the numerous
details of the several systems Of Sani-
tary improvements as applied to
towns, cities and other densely pop
ulated districts, and discussing in q
forcible and comprehensive manner
the rules, regulations, etc, which
should most properly be applied to
such local measures in order that the
greatest good to all might be obtain
ed. The question of u local Sewerage
System, which has so long agitated
the minds of this people, coming up
incidentally, came in for full share
of general discussion, after the read
ing of the paper by Mr.. Coates had
been concluded. After coming over
the numerous excellent advantages
to be derived by our people, the con-
struction of such system Mr.. Coates
was requested TO estimate the prob
able cost of same, which he did, plac-
ing the figure at $4,000 maxium cost
for the main, or trunk lines aud an
average number Of connections for
the new System.
Altogether the evening was passed
in most agreeable and profitable
manner, the pleasure Of the occasion
being enhanced by the presence Of
Mrs. Halum, the estimabla wife of
the host, and her charming daughters,
Misses Matte and Laura. We very
much regret that lack of space pre-
vents our giving q more extended
and detailed statement Of the subjects
discussed by Mr.. Coates In his paper,
together with the able manner in
which the same are treated upon
therein, as we are assured that the
general public benefit TO be derived
from same, would more than repay
the amplest description.
We hope, however to hear and
write more Of the matter at an early
day, as Mr.. Coates has been invited to
appear before the city council Of the
East side, for The purpose of elucidat-
ing his views on this subject, before
that body, and we are pleased to
know that he has accepted the invita-
tion, us rendered by Mayor Arnold.
