his speech will be read with interest and
curiosity. Mr.. Shermsn's wide expert
ence in public affairs, aud his recognized
ability In matters of finance, lend much
Importance to his public declaration.
But, Ia addition TO that. his relation TO
law which Is popularity called by his
name, aud the repeal of which Is the
great question of tbs day. render his
views on that S ubject particular author
alive.
THE FINAL uTcoM OF THE BILL.
To persons who are not familiar NTH
legislative ways aud who do not realize
tn Q care with which every step IN a cam
paign 10 calculated upon Ia advance, IL
might appear 10 be a ionR loot ahead TO
foreteli the course of the silver repeal
bill when 1t is again before the House.
But there Is good reason for the belief
that the managers OF the bill Ia the
House inve already begun 10 make their
calculations OF this course.
1t has been assumed In certain quarters
that after the Worries repeal bill passes
the Senate OF it does pass) as a substitute
for the Wilson bin, It must upon its
return to the House be referred to a COM
mittee. The proper reference in this case
would undoubtedly be to the Coinage
Committee, bnt as this committee is
known TO be bitterly hostile to the repeal
bill. it has been presumed that the House
will send the bill to the Banking and
Currency. or even the Ways and Means
Committee. This course il feasible, bu t
for the anti-sliver men think that
they have found u shorter road to the
desired end. This would be found in a
motion, made al soon Is the bill is
returned by the Senate, to concur In the
Senate amendments. 1t so happens that
under the new rules the bill may be dis
posed OF in this way at the pleasure of
rkA ~ ~ h Nfrr ~A1rsl-4 sR a..
In such state az to require consideration
In Committee of the Whole.
The bill as originally introduced, and
as reported In amended form from the
Senate Finance Committee, does not con
tain any paragraph Involving an expendi-
ture Of money. SO 1t doas not fail under
the terms of the proviso requiring consid-
alton of Committee OF the Whole. Il is
to be presumed that the Silver men In
the Senate will endeavor to attach some
such amendment to the bill before ir re-
turns to the House, but il they fail, ac-
cording TO the anti-silvsr view, there is
no obstruction to speedy concurrence by
the House If the great majority disclosed
on Ills passage last Monday can be held
together.
IN THE SENATE.

After the routine morning business
the bill for the repeal of the Sherman
act was taken up, and MI. Sherman
(Rep.,) proceeded to address the Senat Q.
He said that IL the repeal of the purchas-
lug clauses of the act of July, 1890. were
the emily reason for the extraordinary
session, 1t would seem to him insufl-
Client. 1t WAS. however, justified by the
existing financial strin gsacy.
