SMOOTa SCHEME
To Satisfy the Disappointed Silver Men 10
Proposed.

WASHINGTON, Sept. Some of the
Northwestern senators have been casting
about for some sort of an amendment to
the repeal bill that will be satisfactory to
the silver men and at the same time get the
signature of the President, should it pass.
Mr.. Marlborough believes that he has one
that will accomplish this purpose and which
is satisfactory to the men from the Pacific
coast. The amendment has been printed
and referred to the finance committee.
where he hopes ii may be taken up and per
haps amended, keeping intact, however, the
principal it enunciates.
The amendment will retire all paper
money Of denominations less than $50 and
all gold coin of less than the same amount,
except possibly the silver certificates OF
denominations less than $50 now outstand-
iug II requires that, in the place of the
currency thus retired, including nationa!
bank notes, silver certificates shall be is
sued to like amount, and that those silver
certificates shall be based upon silver pur-
chased at the market price and coined into
standard silver dollars as fast as the eur
rency indicated is retired.
The intention of the amendment is di-
rectly antagonistic to the provisions of the
repeal bill in that its cardinal principle
seeks 10 maintain the use of silver and it
purchase, although it does not increase the
aggregate Of the country's currency. The
two points Mr. Hansbrough had in mind
when he framed the amendment were to
present substitute that was not radical 10
its natlire-a proposition which, if enacted
into law, the President could with consist
encv sign Again, he wants to see somt
sort Of legislation that will recognize shvei
as part of the money of this country and
keep open the mines which produce 1t.

The increased crowd contains . much

people, and by some mysterious law of ma
ture they get worse bewildered in the Man

The Columbian guard in charge Of the de-
partmeut of watches has something about
him which makes all these people appeal
to him like lost children. 20, mister,
have you seen my husbands He said hid
wait here" was the salutation Of one
lady the other day. Without smile the
guard informed her that 30 far as be had
observed people who made special ap-
pointments will always be an hour longer
getting TO the place than they had ex-
pected And so testify many others. In
crossing the grounds many people use up
At least twice a. much time as they real
ize. A gentleman who had evidently lost
his bearings completely addressed to this
guard the startling inquiry:
Say, guard. where am going"
III you had asked Where am ! at
could have told you," replied the guard,
who evidently reads the congressional
news. Another gentleman bewildered
guard and bystanders alike by asking with
all the innocence In the world.
"Where will find Jerusalem"
"H you 60 far enough east and then
turn south you may come to It," was the
joculsr reply; but the man was too much
In earnest to be put Of with . joke. He
finally made it plain that he had some
where seen place with q sign announcing
view Of Jerusalem, but could not not re-
member where it WIGS. Az the guard did
not know and have never seen 1t, con-
clude that 1t must be down in the plais-
ance or in the city. A lady asked another
guard in that building where she would
''find the bazieri" It turned out that she
wanted the bazaar.
