 If the free silver men get control of Congress their first step will be to pass a law authorizing the coinage of the seigniorage. There is $55,000, ,000 worth of this bullion (about 40 100000 ounces) now in the treasury. Perhaps the Presidsaas will veto such @ bill. as he di9as perhaps he will sign it, n I>7',-

 With .ls- return of good times the ,,~l1ey that has been locked up will again be put in circulation. Every day invest ments are now made with money that has been hoarded. This shows that con- fdence has returned. The money thus put in circulation will add more to the volume of currency than free coinage of silver would, for free coinage would drive out good money.
 A free silver exchange says: An Amer ican dollar in Mexico in 1895 will do twice as much as the American dollar in 1874" Instead of this being an argument for free silver, it is against it. It goes to show the fluctuation of silver. In 1874 the Mexican silver dollar was worth $1 04 and in 1895 only 50 cents. This country doesn't want a fiuctuating currency, but sound and stable currency.
 The many friends in this city of MT Henry Wilson are pained to learn of his death, which occurred on Wednesday at Wharton Springs, where he had gone for his health. His remains were inferred in the family burial ground at Monte vallo yesterday. MT. Wilson was law yer of prominence at the bar, and was also well known in the political circles of the State. He had barely attained his majority at the time of the surrender, but he devoted all his zeal and eloquence to the redemption of Alabama from the rule of the denlagogue during the reconstruc- ton period. At the Montevallo mines on one occason he addressed a mob of ri- otous negroes, and by his coolness and courage induced the mob to disperse, and thus saved many lives.

REEDS BAD MISTAKE

Washington, Dec. l7.--(speeiai)--
This has been an epoch making day
In American politics and perhaps In
American history. In the first place
the president OF the United States
takes step which. aside from It's JUS
tlce. win prove the most popular ac-
ton OF his public career.
In the next place the speaker OF the
house OF representatives. always parti-
san. has today In partisan folly made
the frst serious blundcr in his play
for presidency. when after long day
of delay and impatlence in the house
the message moved members TO scenes
OF almost unparalleled enthusiasm. Mr..
Crisp OF Georgia Immediately rose and
offered a bill appropriating 100000 for
the support Of commission asked for
by the president, Tho house would
have paascd the bill without word OF
debate 80 unanimous was the common
dalton OF the course OF the admlnlstra-
lion. But the speaker had already seen
too much gloriicGtlon for u Demo-
cratic president to allow the Democrats
of the house any share In the congress
sional end Of the proceeding and, re-
fusing TO recognize OF to even notice
the member from Gcorgin, no enter
tanned melton TO adjourn.
This Is the political side OF the story
which always comes first IN Washing
ton. The historical side 10 more din
cult to predict. The case IN II very seii-
Gus one. II IL hard to see how II could
have been better handled with just
enough finessc and just enough care
fulness Many OF the wise old leaders
IN public life here shake their heads
over the outlook. There is no doubt
but that congress aud the people will
promptly come TO the support OF tue
administration.
The Texas members here 10 man
heartily commend the president for
what he has done and there is no doubt
but that they VIII follow him all along
the line as he projects II.

New York, Dec. 17.--speaklng OF the
Pacific Gable company. which was in
oorporated at Trenton yesterday, ex-
Mayor Hewitt, who Is one OF the
largest share holders in the new cable
company. said last night;
1.-THE government OF Hawaii has
granted to Colonel Spaulding, "a Well
known planter OF the Hawaiian island,
commission for n cable TO the United
States with a subsidy of $4,000 year.
Colonel Spaulding came to New York
for the purpose of forming company
10 lay the cable, but subsidy OF $4,000
n year Is certainly Inadequate to pay
the interest on the outlay aud expense
for maintenance. which, II IL estimated'
will be about 100000 year In the
last congress n bill was introduced and
passed the senate authorizing the pres
ident to contract for n cable TO the
Hawaiian islands Mt n cost not to cN-
coed s3.000,000 The bill failed In the
house. where II was thought that a
corporation would be a better agency
for securing, a cable because for gen
eral purposes government ownership
is not desirable.
