The Bland Law VIII Not Be Revived.

This letter from an intelligent CORE.
spondent illustrates the confusion in the
minds Of many people respecting the effect
OF an unconditional repeal OF the silver
y purchasing clause Of the SHERMAN act:
ITO THE EDITOR OF The sux-Sir: By the BLAND act,
passed Feb 49, 1873 Il provided that the Treasury
should purchase not less than 81. ooooo0 worth. and
not more than $4,000 900 worth. of silver bullion
each month for the purpose OF coinage into dollars of
4l24 grains ineness Tho BLAND law made such pur-
q chases of bullion obligatory The Secretary OF tho
Treasury had discretion. except between the limits
of $4,000 900 and 81. 100000 He could not 20 below
the former above tho latter figure in any month.
From the date of the passage of tho BLAND bill in
February 1873 until the passage of the SHERMAN bill
in July 1890 the United States coined 3Ss ooO 900
silver dollars
!. 1T 10 proposed repeal the SHERMAN purchase
clause II that is done does It not revive tho BLAND
law: and II It does what is gained by thatl Nothngl
Repeal them both! al"
: "Nkw YORK. Aug 7.
To these questions we reply that tho re-
peal OF the clause Of the SHERMAN law Of
1899 requiring the purchase Of silver bull
lion up to 100000 ounces monthly. will not
revive that clause Of the BLAND law of
1878 which required tho purchase and coin
age Of from 1000. 900 to $4,000, 900 worth Of
silver bullion monthly.
Section s Of tho so-called SHERMAN act
expressly repealed the purchase and coin
age clause OF the BLAND act.
In chapter Of tho Revised Statutes the
form Of statutes and the effect Of repeats
are prescribed. Section IL is as follows:
whenever an act is repealed which repealed u for
mer act snch former act shall not thereby be revived
un,oss It shall be expressly 30 provided"
Even IL the entire SHERMAN act OF 1890
were to DO repealed tomorrow. the BLAND
purchase clause would not thereby be re-
vived, unless its revival were expressly pro-
vided for; and that would practically
amount to new legislation on the lines Of
1873. And If merely the purchase clause OF
the SHERMAN act Is repealed. that repeal
leaves intact and in full force section 5,
which expressly repealed the purchase and
coinage clause Of the BLAND act.
Our correspondent will perceive that his
anxiety lest the naked repeal Of the SHER-
NAN purchase clause should restore the al
most equally pernicioIs purchase and coin
age clause Of the BLAND act. is unfounded
There Is no need to repeal the BLAND pro-
vision along with the SHERMAN provision.
The BLAND provision is already repealed

After two Presidents OF Nicaragua had
been driven from power In June we expressed
hope that the dictator who succeeded them
would turn out to be q first class dictator, one
who would stand his ground. hold his seat,
stiffen uD his nerves. keep his tongue still
and give his sword a rest: q man without
humbug. q master OF the situation. Dictator
ZAvALA. however. proved to be even poorer
specimen OF a Nicaraguan than Preside emit
sAcAzA. who had fed the country or President
MAcHADo. who had been sent to jail He had
dictated, in an imbecile fashion. for but few
days. when ZELAYA sprang to the front at the
head OF the revolutionary Leonists. and
fell upon him. The dictator sent word
to his foe that he would be amnos-
tied and pardoned II he surrendered:
but this offer was taken as an insult By ZE-
LAYA. who at once attacked and captured tho
city OF ManaRua. drove Dictator ZAvALA out of
his palace, and seized the reins OF power. He
has been President for about week. and has
proclaimed an amnesty, which has been taken
advantage OF by the fallen dictator. II ZEIAYA
shall now set up Dictatorship. we must on
terrain hope that it will be more vigorous
than that OF his immediate predecessor, and
that 1t will last until SAcAzA returns to Near
aqua or MAcHADo gets out OF Jail. In the

OF creation. Its perpetual cry Is Death to

There was once an American named WILLIAM
WALKER who played q bold part. for while.
as Dictator OF Nicaragua He needed but
si1ty-two American fighting men for the con-
quest OF the country. which was under his
dictatorship for nearly a year. He was shot at

foreground of sand yellower than usual
as the sun blazed down on it. 1t must
be owned that Virginie could hardly

1t was the duty of each to respond to
the calls of more brick" and more

between them as to which should carry

One day Pat was going up the ladder
with Mike just behind and directly un-
derneath. Suddenly Pat stopped and
refused to proceed up or down. Mike,
however, preferred going up to stand
ing still, for the bricks became heavier
every minute, but in spite of his ap-
peals his companion remained firm. At
last the situation grew serious.
''In the divil's name, Pat. get out O.

as if to keep one another company; but
at the farther end, which finally sloped
up to the cliff, it was full of stiffness.
Some way before you reached Mother
Virginies cottage the shops ceased,
and the street was continued on the
right by houses, some large, some
small, standing in gardens, while on
the left were groups of cottages be-
tween which the sea showed itself
close by. Some rough stone steps led
from Nirginies garden into the High
street, and tall woman, fashionabl
dressed, stood on the topmost step and
gathered up her clinging blue skirt as
she nodded to Nine. Dupont.
"Well, Mother Virginie, we shall see
who is right she said in mocling
tone. Il know what | know. | am

home: he does not mean to marry. You

Mile. Marie Trobe looked furtively
over her shoulder to make sure that
Pierre Dupont was not within hearing
distance, then she turned slowly to her
hostess thereby exhibiting the elegancy
of her hower-trimmed hat, and held
her skirt carefully, so that it
might not rub against the steps.

Before Mother Virginie had found a
word of answer Marie Trobe picked her
way down the steps and sailed back
to her natty shop, gay with bathing
costumes and 'many-colored stuffs for
gowns.

A DREADFUL SCENE.
Last Act in Domestic Drama of Discord
and Dependency.

Snu Oesponuency.
PITTSBURGH. Sept 81. Samuel G.
Stodhart, car accountant at tho Car
negie Steel company, shot his wife in
the heart while she was sleeping,
and then placing the muzzle
Of the revolver into his mouth
sent bullet crashing into his own
brain. The tragedy occurred ut 5:s5
o'clock a. m. at the home of Stodhart
on Point View avenue, East End. In
sanity over religious differences and
despondency over business troubles are
the causes which led to tho awful deed.
Stodhart was As years old and his wife
two years his junior. The couple have
been married sixteen years, and have had
seven children, the eldest being girl
10 years old. Mrs. Stodhart was
Catholic, and the two frequently quar-
relied over the education of their chill
dren. Recently Stodhart's salary was
reduced 10 per cent, and this also
proved on his mind.

Two evenings later there was a tar

so eager to hear all that had been hap

on at supper the young soldiers hand
some face looked embarrassed as he
glanced at his companions. He began
to speak, and then he stopped. This
was the moment which Virginie had
dreaded, and for which she had beer
trying to prepare. She had resolved tc
let Marcel question her, instead of Of
fering information, for it had seeI cd
possible that he might learn the news
as he passed through Bayeux.
For about five minutes there was ST.
lence in the cottage.
Then Pierre said; "What,ails you two

been trying to find something to say
and she could only think of Mario; il
was strange that Marcel did not ash

He said, abruptly:

No, father" Marcel rested both
