Mr. ChsndIer,s Bill.

we mentioned the other day that Mr..
Chandler of New Hampshire. had intro
duoed into the United States Senate bill
providing for the free coinage of gold and
silver at the French ratio of rs IL, the
law to become operative only when Eng
land. France, and Germany shall have
passed similar laws.
A correspondent OF the Washington Post
says as to this bill
1T will be interesting to watch the
attitude OF the sound-money men and the
free-silver men on this bill. DESPITE their
constant professions of answering devo-
ton TO bimetailism. the sound-money
men are constantly accused by the free
silver men of being gold men at heart.
Monetary conferences having thus far
proved unavailing to bring about the in
ternatfonai solution which everybody
admits TO be the best. this bill promises
TO secure the same end by an easier
method--to settle the matter by the votes
of the four parliaments. instead OF those
of a few diplomats. instructed by their
chiefs according to personal preferences
This correspondent thus favors the
Chandler bill, but adds that everybody
admits international solution to be the
best. Yes, the free coinage OF silver at
a ratio TO be fixed by the commercial
nations of the world IL the only possible
solution of the silver problem. The cable
will soon tell as what the bimetallists OF
Europe propose TO do-that Is whether
they are real bimetallists or not.

NO haste about passing the ordinance

We should prefer to see board oil

The city of Richmond has lost great
deal of money during the last ten years
by defalcations. Every one of these de-
falcations might have been prevented, II
the books and accounts OF the defaulting
officers had been properly examined. we
feel sure that a city accountant could
earn his salary many times over, provided
that the ordinance gives him, or whoever
is to superintend and direct him, all need
full authority to examine the books OF any
department. On this point the ordinance
ought to be very explicit and strong.
1t would be well nigh useless TO have
an accountant II he would not have free
access to the books that he wished 10
see. II ne is to be rebuffed and turned
aside as the Committee on Retrenchment
and Reform was, what Is paid him VIII

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
I have read with good deal of interest
all that you have published about corpo-
rate or guarantee security for bonded
State officers. II is the only safe method.
But | have not seen mentioned the most
important advantage which would be gain
ed by this system. ana this is that the
State would not only lose nothing by this
method, but would be sure TO have good
officers. so far as human inves tigation
could discover. No company would 70 on
the bond OF a worthless or irresponsible
officer. Should IL discover during its in
yestigation that the man Offering for bond
Is unworthy or unreliable. II would de-
cline to bond him, and the court would
have to appoint another. OF course, the
Judge would not appoint one not worthy.
All that any one desiring 10 offer for the
place would then have to do would be to
submit his character to one OF these COM
panIes and ascertain whether or not he
would pass. If he did pass. there would
then be no obstacle to his submitting his
claims. And IL would be q great item In
his favor, II he could tell the voters that
there was no doubt about his giving the
required bond.
During my experience as an insurance
man had many of those desiring 10 run
to ask me IL the company would bond
them il elected. III the laws were such as
to require OF every bonded officer a bond
from one OF these fidelity companies we
should then have none but men who
could pass them, or, in other words, none
but good officers.
Two years ago l was several times be-
fore committees of the Legislature on
this subject. trying to impress this fact
upon them. and whilst a law was passed
allowing State officers to give bond such
as these II was not made mandatory,
and very few Of them have done so.
Under the present system OF guards and
checks which pertain 10 the collecting
officers OF the State. no responsible com
many will underwrite these officers. and
this also tried TO impress upon the COM
mittees. The result has proved my obser-
walton. Only two Of all the city trcasu-
rers In the State are required to pay over
their collections oftener than. say twice a
year. and none Of them settle In full but
once year. Now you can readily see
that the company would never know ex-
actly how it stood on these bonds. Could
some method OF monthly, or even BIZ
monthly checks be devised. think there
would be no trouble in having them all
bonded In this way. Such law could be
ssxiiv devised and nut into onerstion- I

IL Is arrange that no chapter OF the
Daughters of the Confederacy has been

so many effective organizations in aid Of

We take It. however, that our women

took action upon u communication from
the Davis Monument Association. and re-
solved 90 give one years work, or more,

purpose.

win organize a large chapter Then they.

plan whereby they may raise money
IN aid OF the monument fund.
II they should determine to hold
bazaar next spring. We cannot but be-
lleye that they would have the help Of

Of money.
The women OF Richmond ought to set
their southern sisters an Example of ear
nestness and energy IN this work. A
bazaar. here would doubtless be followed

Of the South. The Confederate camps
OF the country are pledged to raise $4,000

Speaker Reed Is a changed man. He
IS no longer the swapping. snarling. sar-
castle person that he used to be. Wheth-
err this revolution in his manner has
been caused by the increase of the fatty
matter OF his physical structure. or by
the cutting off of his moustache. or by
policy dictated by his presidential aspi-
rations, Is question.
We know that. as a rule, very fat men
are amiable men. There are some nota-
bic exceptions to this rule. but they
only emphasize the fact that there are ex-
ceptions to all rules.
So far as the elimination of Mr.. Reeds
moustache is concerned, We can well In>
derstapd that that removes much OF
that fierceness Of aspect which OF old
was wont to make timid members tremble
In their socks; but 1t cannot account lot
honeyed tones where erstwhile was
constant commngling OF irony and sar-
casm. We should be glad to be able to
attribute the Improvement in question
10 his barber. because 1t is becoming
quite the fashion nowadays to sacrifice
moustaches TO scissors and razors, and
we might thus hope that we Americans
were entering upon a more amiable era.
But least of all are we willing TO at
tribute to policy Mr. Reeds change.
We should think that 1t would be mis-
taken policy for him. What will the
Speaker be without disposition 10 sit
down on" 'cut up" and otherwise slash
and STAY his brother members? III
he Is not himself. he is nothing much.
Such party popularity as he enjoys was
won by ENTHUSIASTICALLY aggres-
siyeness upon a helpless minority-and,
while we would discourage no one who
is bent upon reforming his life, we CAN
not but say that the new Reed will hot
"enthuse" his followers as the old Reed
did.
Furthermore, the Speaker after being
good, amiable and considerable Of others
for a whole session, may not get the
presidential nominati ton after all. and then
what will he think of himself? or
all men in the world ne will most wish
that he could project the toe of his boot
upon that part of his trousers which be-
comes shiny first We concede that II
Is to the interest Of the House that Reed
should play the part of an amiable nan;
but we don't believe that it is going to
help him in his candidacy.

Duties and Pay of County Trca-
aurers.
ro the E.lItor of the DISPATCH:

To the Editor OF the Dispatch:
see since the assembling OF the Gene
raj Assembly that there gre various bills
proposed In regard TO what shall be ge-
quired OF county treasurers. and not
a word Is said about their compensation.
I say Il without fear OF contradiction
that county treasurers are the poorest
paid and worst abused OF any officers
in the Commonwealth. wonder how
many members of the Legislature know
that a tax-collectOr has to ride -FOUR OF
five times to some houses 10 collect tax
for which he gets cents for MS trouble.
Then. II he has to levy, advertise, and
sell cents is all he gets, and II the
bin is a little larger. making his COM
mission about % cents. and he has 10
levy on a work-horse or OK. he Is re-
quired to advertise it. take II TO the
courthouse, and sell at public outcry, all
for the y cents, when an auctioneer would
charge 80 cents for his service. Some one
proposes bill to require county urea
surers to make reports or receipts ana
disbursements OF county funds TO the
State Auditor. Does not our law-maker
know that each treasurer Is required 10
make bimonthly reports OF all receipts
and disbursements OF county FUNDS, make
oath to the same. and Iile them IN the
clerks ONCE, ana tndt tic ticAh ~ ~
aured to keep his book open at all times
for inspection? OF making many laws
there is certainly no end. Another bill
proposes q travelling auditor. Better pay
the officers you have enough to live on,
rather than multiply more officers. Ana
still another proposes that all treasurers
shall give as security some insurance
company. Who will pay this company
for it's risks? The State. OF course, Tor
the treasurers are not able 10 do 1t. Mucn
better enacs some laws looking % more
effective way of collecting taxes. Better
add the penalty LIST of september an"
let the tax-collcctors have the biis III
the fall of the year, when taxpayer
has something with which he could pay
his taxes. in the spring many are desti-
tute. and many able-bodied men have
left to seek employment elsewhere. Every
treasurers bond has to be examined by
a commissioner, and he IL required TO
examine the record. see what each surety
Is assessed with. and see that the bond Is
ample. after all liens against each and
every surety. And n he is faithful In the
discharge of his duty there can be nc
possible loss. We care not how strict
YOU make the laws. but. for Heavens
sake. give us some credit and some pay
for our trouble.
