others expressed opinions on Mr..
Carlisle's step. Chairman Wilson,
Of the House Ways and Means Com
mittee, said: THE sale Of bonds was
necessary, and the Secretary has
done the right thing. There Is, !
suppose, no serious contention that he
has not the legal right to sell bonds.
That was settled by the report made
to the House at the last congress by
Judge CuIberson, on~the question Of
tile power Of the Secretary to use the
proceeds OF such bonds under the act
Of JANUARY Il, 1875, for any other
purpose than that Of maintaining the
gold reserve -"

Of the committee, said: ct vas the

total suspension Of credit, and there

This is high authority. We ask
no better. No good Democrat ought
to allow his own peculiar notions to
influence him in this matter.

then Mr. Callisle's scheme may fall

Democratic opposition; in the other
from Republican opposition.
There ought to be no party qnes-

be relied upon TO uphold the Presi-
dents policy, how can we expect
such reports from the Republicans?

EAjor Post!
The proposed bond issue, although
expected, has aroused more excitement
among the anti-administration DEM
ocrats than the silver question did,
although it is regarded by most of
them as the logical sequence Of
President Cleveland's silver policy
The knowledge that it is impossible
for Congress to prevent this issue OF
bonds but adds to the excitement.
1t was fortunate thing for the adj
ministration that the announcement
was made while tho House was tied
up with the continuing rule under
which the tariff bill is being consid-
cred. The resolution Of Representa-
live Bailey, Of Texas, expressing the
opinion thet the Secretary has 10
authority to issue bonds under the
specie resumption act Of 1873, cx-
cept for the purpose of that act--the
maintenance Of specie payments-ls
now Ceing considered by the House
Judiciary committee, and Secretary
Carlisle has been asked to appear
before the committee and make an
explanation. No matter what de-
cision the committee arrives at it
cannot get its report before the
House until after the tariff is diapos-
ed of, and then the bonds will have
been sold, If not actually issued.
In the Senate this week tho oppo-
sition will be heard when speeches
arc made on the resolutions offered
DO Senators PETER and Allen, con
demn;ns the action OF Secretary Car
Isle. The opposition fully realizes
that it cannot stop the issleo bonds,
and that fact will operate to prevent
many who would otherwise support
the resolutions doing so, but there is
a determination Oh the pert of all
Of the populists and many democrats
from the south and west to put their
opposition to bond issue on record.
They know that it will be an easy
matter to 50 manipulate the govern
ment bonaas to buY gold for the re
demption of outstanding notes; and
they know also that the money will
actually be used to pay current ak
pellses Tho point they wish to
iaake plain TO the country is, that

authority to issue $50. 100000 Of

The Local Option Law.

There is q bill before the Lesisla-
turc Of Virginia to reqeal tic Local
Option Law, whereby cities and
towns can decide for themselves
whether or not they will have licens-
ed saloons. This Local Option Law
was placed upon the statute books
by Democrats and has no reference
whatever to the merits OF the law
but just says simply to every COM
munity YOU can license saloons or
not as you sec fit The question
then is, is the Local Option Las
beneficial, and if it has proven a
failure in practise should the Demo
Gratis discontinue it. The Posi-
thinks Fit is an absolute farce, but
as it caters to a certain temperance
element in the Democratic party let
it stand.

act Of 1875 was Intended to be used
only in the case Of some sudden
emergency when Congress was not
in session, and that its use at TINS

President Dole's latest letters to
Minister Willis, which were sent to

but others refer to the provocatlon

done what almost any manly man

The house committee on Naval
Affairs will make an adverse report

which has been privately printed,
with the following senatorial head
ing is causing much talk: ''P cmi-

steal on four ships. y million dol

There is little doubt that Sccrata
ny Carlisle would very gladly ex-
change tie Treasury portfolio for The
vacant seat on the bench Of the
Supreme Court, although there was
time when Mr. Carlisle would
have hesitatcd because Of hopes OF
becoming his paity's presidential
candidate in 1896. But that hope
WIS shattered during the long silver
controversy and was completely
abandoned when the official notice Of
bond issue was signed. Secretary
Gresham would also probably prefer
being en- tho Supreme Court to fili-
ing his present position, but he is
not considered because of the belief
that the Senate would refuse to con-
firm his nomination.

LETTER TO TIE EDITOR.

Editor Post:
One Of the burning issues Of pub
lie interest in some sections Of our
great country, ore which is making
and unmalling public officials; one
which, settled one way on the other,
will have much to do in determining
The destiny Of this great republic, is
the relation OF religious denomina
ton, to the public schools.
Roman Catholics have recently
made overt efforts in several different
States, and notably in the territories.
of the United States, to get control
Of public money for the lnaintainaucc
Of Roman Catholic schools.
Men not dominated By the priest
hood men rot ignorant Of the funda
mental principles Of our government,
are banding themselves together
against this aggressive movement as
an attack upon cur political institu
tons, the FIRST step in an attempt To
snbvert cur liberties. !
1t was hardly to be expected thf
these wiley ecclesiastics would 6Ed
sympathy with their principles dd
methods among protestants. If Else
where, certainly not in Big stone
Gap. But, Mr. Editor, are there
not some things significant precisely
Of Ike unexpected 1t has been an
occasion Of remark that che public
school Of our town is named, with
out exception, by the adherents cf
one particular denomination. That
denomination is doubtless a most adj
mirable one; and the teachers Of our
school are all that could bs wished
Not one word Of criticism has this
scribe against any one of them. But,
when the pastor of that particular
church Of which these teachers all
happen to be members, calls on
them publicly to close the school for
a certain hour daily for a number
Of days and attend with tie school
upon services at his church, are not
things becoming little mixad? 1t
is not known at this writing that the
teachers will comply with this high
mandate. But that it should be Civ
en- is the thing OF course, if adhcr-
ents to his filth choo.e to have their
children excused from attendance at
school during those hours, they,
doubtless, have that right. and the
teachers tie right to excuse them.
But that children of parents Of differ
ent faith shonld be thus entrapped,
or that the effort Should be made
thus to entrap them, suggests that it
is time to rise TO question Of prvil-
legs; whether the effort be made by
priest, pastor or high muck a-muck.

The Incon e-Tax.

Mr.. Tarsney, of Missouri, thinks
that an income tax bill viii soon be
passed by The House Of Representa-
tivcs. Perhaps 50. Indeed, we
rather expect the House to send such
Il bill to the Senate for its concur
renee. Thus The members Of the
peoples house can vote down the
tax. This seems to us TO be the pros
pcct at the present time. So much
hostility to an income tax IS mani
tested in the money centres OF the
North that we cannot but expect the
opponents Of the tax to succeed in
defeating it.-Erchongc.
