the bridge across Little River. The
high water has kept the work back
some, but the river is reported as
falling today, and when it runs
down the work can be pushed and
the bridge flashed, We do not
know how far beyond the river the
rails will be laid after the bridge is
completed, but suppose it will be
finished a sufficient distance from
the river to the hills to give the

THREE FINANCIAL BILLS.
The Latest Remedies For Our Finan-
cal Ills.
1t Is not Likely that Either One Will Get
Through Congress at this Session.

Two bills purporting to give relief to
the treasury, have been introduced in
the senate, one by Smith of New Jersey
and the other by Jones of Arkansas.
The Smith proposition is the simpler.
1t provides merely for a nonpartisan
currency commission, and authorizes an
issue OF $500, 100000 OF three per cent.
bonds, redeemable in gold coin, at the
expiration OF 10 years.
The bill provides that the president
shall appoint four commissioners from
civil life, no more than two of whom
shall be members of the same political
party. The president OF the senate shall
appoint four senators, no more than two
OF whom shall be members of the same
party. The speaker of the house is to
designate four members under the same
conditions. The members chosen are
to be members of the fifty-fourth con-
gress. These are to be known as the
Monetary Committee"
1t is made the duty OF the commission
to take into consideration and to inves-
tigate thoroughly all the various ques-
tions relating to currency, so far as may
be necessary to the establishment OF q
judicious system OF currency on a per.
manent basis.
The commission is empowered to visit
different portions of the country and
make to congress a final report of the re.
suits OF its Investigations, together witt
such recommendation as it may deem
to be to the best interests of the United
States, not later than the second Monda,
in December, 1895.
The Jones bill is more ambitious. II
goes into the subject of the currency
deeper and is more complicated. The
Jones bill, too, authorizes an issue o
$500, 1000, 900 per cent. bonds at one enc
and the free coinage OF silver at thI
other.
These bonds are to be payable in coli
OF the present standard value, and bear
ing interest.
The bonds are to mature 30 years iron
date and may be redeemed in 20 years
The'proceeds OF the bonds are to be useo
to deiray current expenses OF the Gov

ernment, and for the redemption OF Uni
ted States legal tender and treasury notes
issued under the act of July IA, 1890.
The bonds are to be of denominations of
800 and $50 and multipes, and will be
free from taxes.
They must be paid for in gold, or the
secretary may accept United States
notes and treasury notes under the act OF
1890.
National banks may issue circulating
notes to the amount OF bonds deposited
with the secretary of the treasury, and
the tax on such circulation is reduced to
one-fourth OF per cent.
Section 3 provides that no national
bank shall retire its circulation without
written authority from the secretary OF
the treasury.
Section 4 says national banks desiring
to retire the whole or any part of their
circulating notes are required to deposit
gold coin equal to the amount OF the
notes to be retired, and at all times to
keep, on deposit with the treasury of the
United States, in coin, a sum equal to 5
per cent. OF their outstanding circulation
notes, to be used for the redemption of
such notes.
Sections 6 and 7 provide for the dis
placement OF all national bank and
United States treasury notes OF denomi-
nations of less than $40, with silver GER
tificates.
The secretary OF the treasury is direct
ed to redeem and cancel and not reissue
the United States and treasury notes
whenever made as fast as the aggregate
circulation of United States legal tender
notes, treasury notes, silver certificates
and national bank notes shall be in eX-
cess OF the aggregate amounts of these
forms OF paper money in circulation at
the date OF the passage OF the act.
The secretary OF the treasury is di-
rected to receive at any United States
mint from any citizen OF the United
States silver bullion OF fineness and coin
into silver dollars OF 4l2la grains each
The seigniorage on the bullion is to be-
long to the United States and is to be
the difference between the coinage value
and the price of bullion in London on the
day the deposit is made.
The secretary is required to deliver tC
the depositors OF such bullion standard
silver dollars equal in amount to the
price of the bullion, and whenever thes,
coins shall be received into the treasury
certificates in denominations of less than
The eagle. (Silver City, N.M.) 1894-1???, 1895-02-06

$40 may be issued on them as now pro-
vided.
The extreme'free coinage element, that
is to say, the senators from the silver
producing States, are not satisfied with
the section OF the Jones' bill which pro-
vides for the purchase OF silver bullion
at market rates, and the retention of the
difference between the market rate and
the coin value by the government.
The free coinage republicans in the
senate declare that they will not permit
the passage OF any bill unless free coin
age is provided for.
Representative Springer introduced
bill in the house on the lines OF the pres
idents message, but it would operate to
fasten an enormous gold debt on the
country as it contemplates the issue OF
gold bonds to take up the outstanding
treasury note circulation and does not
provide for silver. The bill is as follows:
'Be it enacted by the senate and the
house of representatives of the United
States of America, in congress as
sembled, that in order to enable the Sec
retary of the treasury to procure and
maintain a sufficient gold reserve and to
redeem and retire United States legal
tender treasury notes, and treasury
notes issued under the act OF July IA,
$780, entitled AN act directing the pur-
chase OF silver bullion and the issue OF
treasury notes thereon, and for other
purposes He is hereby authorized to
issue and sell at not less than par in
gold, except as provided in section OF
this act, United States registered or
coupon bonds, in denominations OF $50
and $50 and multipes OF said sums re-
spectively, payable 90 years after in gold
coin of the United States, of the present
weight and fneness, and bearing interest
at the rate not exceeding per cent. per
annum, payable quarterly in like coin:
and such bonds and the interest thereon
shall have like qualities, privileges and
exemptions as the bond issue under the
act approved July II, 1870 entitled AN
act to authorize the refunding OF the
national debt Such bonds may be sold
and delivered in the United States or
elsewhere, as may be deemed most adj
vantageous to the interest OF the govern
mrnt.
"Section 2, That whenever any other
legal tender notes or treasury notes shall
be redeemed in gold, they shall be cam
celled and not re-ssued, and the secre-
tary OF the treasury is hereby authorized
in his discretion to receive United States
legal tender notes and treasury notes is
sued under the aforesaid act OF July II,
1890, in payment for any OF the bonds is
sued under the preceding section OF
this act, and the notes so received shall
be cancelled and not re-issued.
"Sec. 3. That hereafter national bank
ing associations may take out circulat-
ing notes in the manner provded'by law,

The hanging Of Thomas Blair on
Tuesday morning was a foul murder.
That he deserved death for the part he
took in the killing of Captain Bomar,
we are not called on now to discuss.
Even If he did, the men who took his
execution in hand were not licensed
to mete out death to him. But this
is not the worst of this miserable
affair. 1t is broadly suspected that
that the motive assigned was only .
pretext aud that the real motive was
not disclosed. Let the motive be be-
cause some parties were afraid of him
aud wanted him out of the way, or
because some Of Captain Bomar's
friends determined to wreak vengence
for his murder. the crime was foul
one. If ten or fifteen men are licensed
to try, condemn and execute man
for crime of which the courts had
not said he was guilty, how long will
it be till these, or some other ten or fif-
teen men, shall feel called upon to re-
solve themselves into court, try, con.
denim and execute, dear reader, you,
