Tho House at last reached a vote on

and passed 1t by amajority of seventy
five, III Representatives voting In the
affirmative and SO in the negative.
II is a matter of speculation how the
measure will fare in the Senate, al
though the silver sentiment is known
to be strong in that body that the
Bland proposition doubtless stands q
good chance ofgetting through.
Whether 1T shall or not, and lift shall
what disposition the President may
make fit, are not subjects upon which
busy people need disturb themselves.
The fate of the Bland Bill is ofllttle
consequence. Should It become law
It will neither prove the blessing which
It's advocates claim it will, nor the evil
its opponents charge. 1t Is not worth
the time aud contention which 1t has
received aud Is likely yet 10 receive. II
will make very little difference to any
body whether IL becomes a law or be
killed in the Senate or the White House
People can occupy themselves more
proftably in spring cleaning than in
concerning themselves over the fate on
this bill.--Courier.j ournal.
