/ thirty years, but will be sold at a premi-

! there viii be no reluctance upon the part
! OF the banks TO buy them up.
! or course, it naturally looks as If Mr..
! Cleveland were attempting the absurd
| T-licy Of attempting to keep up gold re-
serve of $l000yO,O)0 by issuing bonds at
! intervals, while there was outstanding
| about 500, go 900 of legal tender end Treas
! ury notes, which the banks or money
interests could constantly secure and for
which they could demand the gold of the
! reserve.
WILL DEPEND on INCREASED REYENUEs.
| This, however is not the case, for 1t has
| been said by people very close TO Mr.
| Cleveland that he would let the entire re-
| serve be exhausted rather than issue
! bonds II he could get money any other
| way.
The fact is. the revenues are not suiii-
| cient Just at this time TO meet the cX-
| psuses of the Government, and the Treas
| uly is in a condition Of absolutely have
| 10 have it," and so the bonds viii be is
| sued. Men like William J.. Wilson and
| other friends Of the administration and
| ltNlScIS OIL the ldIllls litl7l9lfittI9 N4ti4'iA
| that in a few months the revenues Of
| the Government will be tremendously in
| creased by the operation OF the new tariff
| law, many OF whose provisions, as the
| income tax, have not yet contributed 10
| the Treasury, and because OF the large
| amount Of whisky, sugar and other artl-
| Giles that were bought and stored IN oIder
to obtain the advantage OF the old rates.
| When these thirgs, they claim, enter into

| there will be no deficit, and consequently
| no need for further bonds or unusual
| financial legislation.
| The outlook now is very decidedly that
| there viii be no financial measure passed
| by this Congress. and II IS generally re-
! garded that the President would trust 10
| the increased revenues, and would sue
bonds again before he would call an extra
| session.
| IT Is DIFFERENT IN tn sFNATT.
There were great and exciting times at
| the Capitol yesterday. On the Hou'e side
! loud and angry shouts prevailel. Fierce,
! glaring eyes bespoke the wild pass ons OF
| men. and Ike Hill, with uphtted mace,
| demanded. in the name Of the dignity and
! law Of the House. that the silver-tOnSuad
| orator from Kentucky, Colonel W. {. L.
| Breckenridge should not assault MI.
| Heard, OF Missouri. 1t is very sad 10
| contemplate this awful state Of affairs.
| OF course. animals born in captivity oc-
| casionany refresh themselves by deVour-
| ing their mate, but the idea OF these
great and good men, eminent legislators
and national heroes, descending nearly To
nsticuffs, is appalling.
Now in the Senate al is different. There
Instead Of the cry of anger You hear
the soft cooling Of the dove, and ye5ter-
| day, while representatives were GAZING
| for blood, senators were bubbNnS over
with peace. and, with their hands clasped,
! side by side, IN the seclusion OIL the
| cloak room, little Willie Chandler and
| Jakcy Gallingcr, who Tor TOUR IonS
} wears had been estranged were dcclar-
| ing their mutual affection, and rejoicing
| over the loving reconciliation when
| trends had effected. This IS a beautiful
| example which the senators present Tor
| emulation by the House but it's aWiul hard
| in New Hampshire, for during the -FOUR
years when Chandler and GallnSer q
| not speak the State had some show, Dnt
! with that tender, fearful, tru-tlul EN-
| bracing Of yesterday, even the NiHc-cidd
! hills are in danger.

CONGRESSMAN Jones was present during
the consideration Of this bill in the com

oupCsed these claims, ana as many Oh
