IN CONGRESS TODAY.
The House Gets irto TangIe Dur
ing Morning Hour.
Then Il Takes Up the Bland Bill for
the Coinage Of the seigniorage-in
Committee of the Whole.


WASHINGTON, Feb. "a tangle grow
ing out OF an error in the important roll
rail- by which the House yesterday went
into committee of the whole on the Blanu
bill, opened the proceedings in the house
this morning.
Mr. Babcock wis., explained that ne
had not voted upon that roll call ana Mr'
Tracey and Mr.. Reed attempted TO
make the point that this broke the
quorum and subsequent proceedings OF
Yesterday were therefore vitiated. III was
discovered, however, that Mr.. Marshall OF
Virginia and Mr.. Shell OF south Carolina,
who did vote, were recorded as not Votlng'
and as their votes would complete the
quorum no further objection TO the ap-
proyal of the journal was made.
Took Up Hands Measure.
On motion of Mr.. Bland the House
went into committee of the whole for the
consideration OF the seigniorage bill.
Mr.. Bland declared that IL was
only necessary TO keep enough
gold in the treasury to meet
meet foreign exchanges. Under the Sher-
man law, he insisted that every, dollar OF
the Treasury notes outstanding was re-
deemabl in silver.
.This bill. however, he continued, ,"does
not go as far as the Sherman Act in this
respect. 1t only provides that having
been redeemed lin gold ar otqerwise)
these notes shall not be re-issued, but
shall be destroyed and coin shall take
their place.
In other words the holders will no
longer be able TO force their redemption
again and "again in in gold" Cap
plause.)
Mr.. G. w. Stone, of Pennsylvania, who
Is at the head of the minority of the COM
mittee on coinage, weights and measures,
replied to Mr.. Bland.
"If we are prepared to agree to the prac-
tical embezziement OF trust fund in the
first section" said he, 1--WE should not
hesitate at the irregularity contained in
sc cond section"
He contended that their was no existing
seigniorage, that it was purely imaginary
as yet. Seigniorage, he said, was
the profit arising to the gov
ernment out OF the coinage oi
bullion, but the bullion not having been
coined there was no signiorage. There
might be in time, but there was not now

THE CONSTITUTIONAL AMEND
MENT,S.

At Tuesdays election nine constitu.
tionsl amendments will be submitted to
the voters OF California. Each is Of i'm
portance. Every voter should give them
due consideration and vote intelligently.
To aid the voter we will consider them
seriatim. Amendment No. carries into
effect the educational qualification for
voters that was 30 overwhelmingly ap.
proved by the voters when submitted as
a suggestion to the legislature two years
ago. 1t requires that electors must be
able to read the constitution in the
English language and to write their
names the proposed restriction, how
ever, being confined to persons who may
hereafter come Of age. This is aalu-
tary provieion. and should be adopted.
The second proposition, designated
amendm ent No. .. relates to the forma-
ton Of new counties. 1t allows the leg
islature to provide for the division OF
counties by general laws. 1t will take
county division questions out OF the legis.
lature and narrow pro tanto the field OF
operations OF the boodler. 1t is good
proposition and should pass.
Amendment No. 3 exempto fruit and
nut trees from taxation until they are 4
years old, and grape vines until they
are 8 years old. the purpose being to en-.
courage the planting OF orchards and
vineyards, aud relieve the orchardist
from the burden OF taxation on the in
creaaing values till the trees or vines
shall be in bearing and yield a profit.
A most wise law and should Do adopted.
Amendment No. 4 has the dement, in
the fret instance of being 90 loosely
drawn that it might bo made the meaue
of inhicting an almost unlimited amount
Of in juatice and wrong. 1t would further
almost sursly prevent any Investment oil
foreign capital in this atate in any enter
prise, even indirectly connected with
real estate, such aH irrigating systems
etc.
The fifth amendment allows cities and
counties to consolidate. II follows ex'
actIy the words OF the frat half of Sec
ton 7, article NJ, of the constitution al
it stands. Its sole effect is to strike oul
