Senator Voorhees, ought to be good
authority on Mat Ilr Senate Finance
committee will do with The Bland bill
for the coinage OF the seigniorage, which
WAS passed by the House last week. He
says that the committee will o report
the bill to the Senate until after the tar
if bill shall have been disln,sri nj. In
that case one vi the principal objects OF
the originators OF the bill will he defeat
ed. This is, to furnish the Treasury with
money that Will soon b. needed, TINS
avoiding All eAcnse for another bond
issue. If the bill IL o 10 be even re-
ported to the Senate until after the tar
if bill IL disposed of There is no telling
when it will Let there, IA the tariff bill
is not yet before the Senate and no Sem
ator seenIs willing 10 say when it will be.
Women are accused OF being more
changeaDle than men, but ii there Is II
WOMAN in existence who can change la,-
ter or oltener than he senators who ale
try ing to fix up the tariff bill so thai ~
can command votes enough 10 pass
tile Senate she would be exhibited as
the greatest curiosity. Six different
times the bill has been printed and each
time it was supposed 10 have been COM
plete, but it Is not yet complete, unless
IL has beeen completed wilihn the last
three hours. The trouble seeLls TO be
that when HI it n, is changed TO meet
tile demand oil one Sel.a or 1t just as like
as not otfeuI another D nIlor aud jeo-
some sort OF u tariff bill is going To be
passed, but he is either u daring or n
foolish man Mhu assums It tIis tine 10
tell lis exact nature.
Representative Bailey, OF Texas, has
AN internal machine in the shape OF u
bill ~ least it Will be ~ regarded by ~
considerable number OF Senators and
Representatives should Mr.. Bailey reall,
push it, as he now says he will do. The
bill provides for an absolute divorce ol
tie Executive and Legislative branches
OF the government, SO far as patronage is
concerned, and makes it impossible for
any member of either branch OF Con-
gress to have any voice in the distribu-
tlon OF patronage. 1t also provides that
when the President needs any infornIa-
ton or suggestions not contained III the
papers 81 applicants he must get it from
some one not u member OF Congress.
Mr.. Bailey is Enthusiastically right in
believing that surh u law would make
Congress msre independently than 1t has
ever been. 1t would also bring man,
new lei to Congress, 1T there are lew oil
thu old ones who could not get back with
out the aid OF their patronage machine
A bill transferring the appointing power
from the President to Congress would be
much more likely to pass.
Representative Br, an, of Nebr., has
introduced u bill in the House to have a
proper construction put upon that sect
ion of the Sherman law which gives the
Secretary OF the Treasury authority to
r .deeil coin obligations in gold or silver,
at his discretion. Mr.. Bryan contends
that the prevailing construction, witch
allows the presenter OF the obligations
TO demand whichever coin he prefers, is
a wrong one, being u contradiction of
the language OF the act.
