Gen. P. W. Hardin has been nomi-
mated for governor Of Kentucky by
free silver democrats. General Har-
din Is life long democrat, and was
for many years attorney general.
Had he not openly declared some
weeks ago that he would not have
the gubernatorial nomination on any
other than a free silver platform, he
would have swept the convention.
This lost him many strong friends
Notwithstanding this he is among the
most popular men in the state. Gen
cral Hardin is about 45 years of age.
Like most active public men, he en-
tered the practice of law at an
early age and became well known il
his profession.

FEAR FOR ITS FATE
Serious Doubt as to the Pass
aCe Of the Administration
Currency Bill.
THE SUBSTITUTE OF REED
A Disturbing Element, But Net
Necessarily Antagonistic
Springer's Measure.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-Both Demo.
Gratis and Republicans of the banking
and currency committee who have sup
ported the administration bill express
fears that the bill VII not pass. Their
apprehensions ere based somewhat upon
the appearance of Mr.. Reeds substitute
as a disturbing element, but more upon
their estimate of the general temper Of
the house. The Republican plan which
the ex-speaker is urging will not of ne
cessity interfere with the administration
bill. It will be offered as substitute and
Republicans will vote for it as declar.
alton of their view of the policy dictated
by the necessities of the situation, but
they do not expect that it will receive
Democratic support, and many say that
after voting for it, they will cast their
votes for Mr.. Springer's bill. There is
talk of Republican caucus on the finan.
cial question, but it may come to naught.

BONDS OF NO VALUE.
Decision in a Noted Lyons County, Ia,
Case.

Decision in Noted Lyons County, Ia,
Case.
SIOUX CITY, Ia, Feb. 6. The famous
Lyon county bond cass was decided by
the United States supreme court affirm
ing the decision Of the lower court. The
decision is in favor of the county and
disposes Of case long in litigation, wip-
ing out debt Of about $3.50, 900, princi-
pal and interest represented by bonds
The case is said to lave grown out of
steals in the early history of the county.
When the county was organized the Or
ganizers wanted to get some swamp
lands. 1t was the custom to give these
lands to company for educational pur-
poses. Lyon county had no swamps
and the plan was to get some of the
land declared swamp land anyhow.
Accordingly the county board author
lied the
Expenditure of Immense Amounts
for lawyers and in other ways to estab-
lish that there were swamp lands in the
county. In this way bonds were issued
from time to time and the debt became
immense. In 1872 refunding bonds
were issued to take these ND to the
amount Of 100000, and it is on these
refunding bonds that the fight has been
made. The case went through the
state ana then the federal courts. In
the state conrt it was held that the
bonds We're invalid. This was in an Old
case founded on an injunction which
the citizens OF the county secured to re-
strain the payment of interest on the
bonds. After the case was settled one
Of the owners Of bonds sued on them
and got into the federal count. This is
the case settled by the latest decision.

MIR. REEDS PLAN.

The supporters of the administration
are reported as being Il little discon-
certed over the plan proposed by Thos.
B. Reed, the Republican leader. The
probability is that Mr. Reeds bill may
bring the Republicans into line, as we'll
as many Democrats to his support.
which woald upset the administrations
calculation Of getting Republican votes
for its measure. Mr.. Reed, proposal
is to restrict the bond rate uf inter, ST
to 3 per cent in case the secretary Of
the treasury shall issue bonds TO re-
authorize the treasury department,
when there is a deficit, as in the pres
ent case, to issue certificates of ind bl-
edness, in sums of S25, SoU and SlUO,
bearing interest at ) per cent. and ay-
able in coin. The reader will note That
II uoes not specify gold coin, but con-
;empla es that They may be redeemed
in either gold or silver. Being interest
bearing notes, they would be accepted

be paid off there would bc no risk, nor
would there be any heaitancy, in pay ing
them in silver coin, if need be. MIR.
Reed proposes this AS temporary ex-
pedient, which certainly would relieve
the present stress aud II would do 80
without the aid of foreign money. ltis
a wise aud far-seelng move on the part
OF MIR. Reed, TO spring this measure.
which if accepted would bridge over
the next ear or two, and thus defeat
the presidents plan vi completely rec
ognizing gold monometallism. Its
effect would be to hold in abeyance the
final settlement of the financial question
till it could be settled in 1897, on d
broader basis than would be possible
now. When it shall be settled, you can
mark this: 1t will recognize the prin.
pie of bimctallism.

OUR GOLD AND SILVER COIN.

According to the report of the secre-
tary of The treasury. for 1893, the esti-
mated stock of gold and silver coin in
the United States July ]. 1895, was:
Gold, S5l9, 9,l56, y: silver, 1896, TAI, ,573:
total, 81, OILS. .903,675. The reader will
note that the gold coin exceeds the sill
YER coin 10 the amount Of $22 ,40S, 529.
Now, besides this the treasury depart
,nent has on hand silver bullion, pur-
chased under the Sherman act, to the
amount nl l40,699. .5S2 ounces, against
which those endles. chain coin notes,
7redeemable in gold, have been issued.
If these were coined into silver dollars
and fractional pieces, our silver coin
would reach the amount Of s605, ST..
l73 The report of the director of the
mint shows that the gold coinage for
the fiscal year 1893. amounted tc $780,

that our vo,um, Of silver coin is moi
much in excess of our gold coin, anG
that the increase OF guld is practically
