Bill Better Than None.
Washington, Dec. 26-WhiIe the cur

many democratic members, who will

it because it will improve finance in
their opinion. Judge Culbertson put it
this way: I'VE are like a tramp" said
he, who has been ordered out of town.
1t does not matter whether he goes to
New York, Baltimore or Richmond. hut
move he must. The situation of the
treasury is identical. Something must
be done TO relieve 1t. If this bill does not
accomplish all that it should, it will at
least accomplish something"
Representative Bland, who has a free
coinage substitute pending, is very
doubtful of his ability to secure even
merchandising vote on it,
Chairman Springer has already given
notice that he will make point of order
against the substitute on the ground
that 1t Is not germane and Mr.. Bland
believed it was the program of the ad-
Vocates of the currency bill to rule out
this substitute, dealing as it does not
only with coinage, but with the cur
rency. He seems of the opinion that the
point of order will be sustained. In the
event that 1t is not sustained, however.
