SHARP LOBBY WORK.
How u Millionaire Was Made the Innocent
Instrument of the Game.


Instrument of the Game.
"lf you will step out into the office Of
the sergeant-at-arns, you will find old
Huntington sitting there with a bag Of
money brought here TO defeat the funding
bill"
A note reading In about these words
was brought into the senate chamber one
afternoon by doorkeeper and put in the
hand Of Senator Thurman. The Old Ro.
man glanced at it. There was no sigma.
ture. The senator twisted the paper In
his fingers and sat still n few moments.
Then he pulled out his red handkerchief
the bandanna-and blew his nose. He
got up and strolled out through the mar
BILE room and into the Office of the ser
geant-at-arms. Sure enough, there sat
huntington holding n handbag, and In
confidential communication with him were
two well known members Of the lobby
Senator Thurman glanced about the room,
asked where French was and strolled back
to the senate chamber. lie went In on
the Republican side. sat down by Senator
Edmunds' seat and showed the bit OF pa
per. When Edmunds had read IT, Thur
man whispered to him few words, got
up and crossed over to his own side of the
chamber and took his scat.
Presently Senator Edmunds got up,
went cut into the corridor and walked
into the Office of the sergeant at arms,
looked around and then, as if not finding
some one he was in search of, went back
to the chamber. Instead of resuming his
seat, he went over TO Senator Conkling and
had few moments talk with him. Then
Conkling went out of the chamber glanced
into the door of Frenchs Office and came
4 la, Lot f.,,. Et,,f,
the funding bill before the senate.
Then ensued series of terrific attacks
on the influences which, it was asserted,
were arrayed against the measure. Thur
man, Edmunds and Conkling lushed the
unnamed lobby without mercy. The fund
ing bill went through practically without
opposition. Senators who had had honest
doubts about the expediency of the bill
did not venture to vote against IL.
The anonymous note to Thurman was a
lobby trick. Ii came from man who had
failed to form business relations with
Huntington, and who saw the chance for
which the lobbyist is always waitiug-to
get even. Huntington had just reached
the city and had come from the depot to
the capitol to inquire about some legisla
ton In which he was interested. There
was nothing more dangerous than night
shirt and toothbrush in the handbag co
which the senator imagined he clung with
care.
He had dropped into the Office of the
sergeant-at-arms, but it was semipublic
waiting room, and he was chatting with
Legislative agents while waiting to get his
information, His presence there at the
time had nothing to do with the funding
bill. Yet the smartest senators in the
whole body fell into the trap set for them.

The Pennsylvania Magazine gives a very
unHattering description Of benjamin
Franklin's wife. IL is taken from the di-
ary of Daniel Fisher, who was Franklin's
secretary for short time. "She sat on
the floor at neighbor's. She assumed
the airs of extraordinary freedom and
great humility, lamented heavily the mis-
fortunes of those who are unhappily infect
ed with too tender or benevolent dispo-
sition, said she believed all the world
claimed privilege of troubling her pap
py-so she usually calls Mr., Franklin
with their Calamities and distress, giving
us a general history of many such wretch
es and their impertinent applications. 1"
He mentions ''the turbulence and jealousy
and pride of her disposition" and the vio-
lence of her invectives, Pointing to Frank

New York, Dec 10.-The appeal of ex-
Police Captain Michael Doherty and his
one time wardmen, Hook and Meehan
from the decision of the police board,

Mr.. Fromme claimed the rights of the
officers had been infringed when they
were refused an adjournment and also
when they had been refused the right

had been prejudice against the discharged

national bank notes for each banking as
sociatiOn having circulation"
This suggestion, he said. would have the
effect of placing the silver certificates Of
small denominations in circulation. The
idea was not to issue national bank notes
of less denomination than SO. This would
force the people to cal for silver cer-
tihcates which were now piled up in the
treasury. The silver certificates were Of
course redeemable in silver dollars. He
believed that the due notes issued under
the new system would be kept on a parity
with gold.
To Mr. Sperry, dem, of Connecticut
Mr.. Carlisle said his plan contemplated
the ultimate retirement Of greenbaeks
and notes issued under the Sherman law,
and there would then be no paper of the
government redeemable in gold.
I'VE should then be on a silver basis, -
said Mr. Sperry.
No" said Mr.. Carlisle, ION a gold
basis"
Mr.. sperry also wanted to know II.
should the time ever come when there
was no paper of the government redeem
able nj gold, the debts of the government
would not be paid in silver.
To this Mr.. Carlisle said that there would
not be enough silver to do this. Further
more, the debts Of the government were
paid in large bills. The silver was needed
for small coin. Subsidiary coin was piled
up in the banks by tradesmen. The
banks could not pay il out and, therefore,
sent it to Washington for redemption in
notes of large denominations. The treas
ury department found great difficulty in
getting this money into circulation again,
and the secretary thought there would,
therefore, be no great demand for 1t in
the payment of the government debts.
Taking up his suggestion that the circu-
lation of state banks be exempt from fed
eral taxation, under certain conditions,
Mr.. Carlisle said that theoretically, he be-
lieved the government had no right TO tax
state banks, although the supreme court
had held that it was perfectly legal. He
thought that il might be a good thing,
however, to retain the tax, but II was
the intention Of the plan suggested by
him, to lessen governmental interference
with the banks as far as possible.
1t was contended by Mr.. Carlisle, in an
swer to several questions, that 1t was
necessary to give the government author
ity as was contemplated in his plan, to
impose a tax on the circulation of state
banks If they did not comply with the
conditions imposed by the federal law. This
was the only way the treasury depart
ment had of controlling national banks
which refused to comply with the pro-
visions of the law applicable to them
Mr.. Carlisle said that he believed that
the state banks were necessary for the
needs of the people for local purposes. He
believed that the plan would give needed
elasticity to the circulation in the rural
districts Secretary Carlisle said he
would return tomorrow morning and read
to the committee a complete draft of his
bill, embodying his currency plan.

isabilities-battleheld soldiers-of which
Corporal James Tanner Is commander, as
well as national commander, the following
resolutions were introduced by Comrade
William Howard Mills and unanimously

Resolved, That encampment No. g.
Union Veterans Legion, considers the
change of the name of the historic village
near which Gen. Robert f. Lee surren-
dered all that there was there of the gal
liant, but exhausted, famished, army of
Northern Virginia to Gen. T. S. Grant
and the magnanimous army of the Po-
tomac, April 3, 1866, from Appomattox to
Surrender, as an insult to the memories
of Grant and Lee and all the departed
heroes of those armies from Manassas,
Bull Run to Appomattox, as well as to
the survivors of these armies, and as an
unnecessary humiliation to the men who
surrendered there in good faith. accepted
the hospitalities of the shelter tents, the
blankets, the rations and the canteens of
the Union soldiers, and have been good
citizens since; and that we will never know
nor call the memorable ground by any
other name than Appomattox, nor permit
it to be so called within our hearing with
out protest; that, without knowing nor
desiring to know who has been responsible
for the change, but with malice toward
none and charity for all, a copy of this
resolution be forwarded to the President
of the United States with the request that
he make recommendation thereon and
transmit it to the Postmaster General:
that a copy be furnished the agents of
the Southern Associated Press and the
United Press and other press associations
with the request that it be sent over their
wires with the view of obtaining the
sense of the press of the United States and
of American soldiery as to the propriety
of a re-change of the name of the village
where the postoffice is located from Sur
render to Appomattox, whatever the place
may be called where the county court
house is now located, and that
a copy be also forwarded to
the commander of the national
encampment of the Union Veterans Le-
gion.
Resolved, That the commander of this
encampment is requested to appoint a
committee of five to present a COPY of
these resolutions to the President of the
United States.
