A mineral expert from this city was
called into North Georgia to report upon
a supposed gold find says the Philadelphia
Times. He had got wet through and

ing fire in the old-fashioned fire place he
asked his host:

The amount OF the genuine bids for the
sloeOo00oo OF % year 4 per cent. bonds oaIl-
ei for by the government some weeks ago,
Is considerably larger. in all probability,
than IL aas thought II would be. Il shows
that the people have faith in the govern
ment, and a firm belief that the currency
will be kept on a sound basis.
The treasury department viii have con-
siderable difficulty in deciding what bids
to accept. The bids range all the way from
par 20 1ls. the latter bid being practically
on a per cent. basis. One banking house
offers very nearly III for the whole issue.
and it may be that the Secretary Of the
Treasury will consider it advisable 20 &c
cept IT, The great majority Of the bids
range from 10 to ll2. 1t would hardly be
fair to make some Of the bidders pay 1l9
while others obtained bonds at 100 OF 10.
and yet that SouId be the case II the high
est bids were accepted first. and then the
next highest. and so On until all the bonds

bonds that were sold TO the Belmont Nor
gan syndicate II must not be forgotten.
however. that the Belmont Morgan syndi-
cate agreed TO do two things that the BID
ders for the present issue of bonds are not
required to do. The syndicate agreed 10
prevent the export of gold for a certain
number of months. and it also agreed TO
draw no money from the treasury with
which 10 pay for the bonds. These two
things cost the syndicate a great deal of
money. 1t was stated when the transac-
ton had been closed that the actual profit
outside of the interest on the money that
had been locked up in the deal. was less
than 6 per cent.
The present bidders can draw gold from
the treasury with which to pay for the
bonds. provided they can get the necessary
greenbaeks. and IL is probable that some
of them will do so. In fact. there is ground
for thinking that some of them have al
ready done so. Gold has not been exported
for quite a little while. and yet the gold
reserve has steadily fallen In view of the
fact that the bonds are to be paid for in
installments. the gold reserve may not
amount to SlOOOOO,OOO when all the bonds
have been delivered to purchasers. 1t will
be known very soon whether it is the pur-
pose of those whose bids are accepted to
depend upon the treasury for gold to pay
for the bonds or to get gold from sources
outside of the treasury. If they go to the
treasury for gold the benefit that will be
derived from the bond sale will not be very
great:

snrnrI.ed RepuhIicnn..


The surprise which the republican sena-
tors expressed Tuesday. when the anance
committee reported a free silver coinage
bill as a substitute for the House tarin
BILL was undoubtedly genuine. The SEN
ate having just passed a free silver COIN
age bill as a substitute for the House
bond BIN. IL was not thought that the
silver craze would show itself in another
free silver coinage bail.
The republicans began playing politics
just as soon as congress assembled The
President asked for legislation that would
protect the credit Of the government and
the integrity OF the currency. A declara-
ton OF the purpose OF the government to
pay its obligations in gold and authority
TO issue bonds al a less rate OF interest
than per cent were the only things
needed. But the republicans refused
these things. They wanted TO have the
country believe that the only reason the
treasury was having difficulty in main
tanning the gold reserve was that the re-
publican policy of protection had been
abandoned. Therefore they passed a bill
making a horizontal increase in the tariff.
and bond bill authorizing 3 per cent.
coin bonds.
The republicans in the Senate also
played politics. They wanted to get con-
troll OF the committees and also the Senate
patronage. The popullsts were willing to
help them for a consideration-the con-
sderation being that the silverites should
be given control of the finance commit
tee. The bargain was made and the sill
verites have control of all financial legis-
lation. And haven't they used success
fully the finance committee to defeat all
the nicely laid plans OF the republicans?
The republicans are responsible for leg
islation. They have a big majority in the
House. and they have the committees in
the Senate. The control of the commit
tees carries with it responsibility for leg
islation. and what sort of financial legis-
lation has this congress given the coun-
try? Has it done a single thing to rem
edy the troubles with which the treasury
is contending? 1t remained in session dur
ing the holidays and in other respects
made a great show of its purpose to give
relief to the treasury. and what has it
accomplished? 1t has not accomplished
anything. and there is no probability that
it will accomplish anything.
If at the beginning of congress the re-
publicans had gone to work honestly to
do what was needed to be done. instead
of trying to make political capital for the
presidential campaign. they might have
given relief to the treasury and greatly
strengthened their party. They hadn't
the courage to do that. and so they see
all their nicely laid plans for making
their party popular defeated by a few
populists and silverltes. They deserved
the defeat that has overtaken them.

On a stiII Hunt.

In the roll-can of states in national
political conventions. Alabama answers
first. The moral effect of having ones
ian voice at the beginning of the roll-call
is duly appreciated by political managers.
The Alabama woods are reported to be
fun of agents for Morton, Alger, Nc
Kinley, Reed and maybe one or two other
of the republican candidates for the NOM

ed as claquers. as well as for their votes.
But the republican advance agents are
not paying attention to Alabama alone.
Recently they have been heard of fire.
quently in Louisiana, Tennessee, North
Carolina and Mississippi and the report
is that they have invaded Georgia also.
The understanding seems to be that the
agents are entrusted with the disburs-
ing of money where it Will do the most
good. Whether the money is in crisp
new 81 bills" or in shining silver dollars
is a meter of conjecture. There is, in
deed, no direct evidence of the BARI" in
the still hunt for votes. But Senator
Sherman in his book very pointedly in
Inmates. that in 1888 he was beaten by the
use of money among the southern dele
gates. And the hunt for bargains in the
south is going on now just about on the
lines that were employed prior to the
convention of 1888.
The friendship of southern delegates is
viewed by Senator Sherman somewhat in
the light of an element of weakness tc
candidates for the republican presidential
nomination, for the reason that they car
never be counted upon. Senator Sherman
thought he had been able to hold the
southern line intact in 1883 until the last
moment, when he found to his disgust
that it had been broken, and the nomi-
nation went to Harrison. The managers
for the various candidates. however, seem
to be as eager to line up the southern
republican delegations as they ever were
1t is possible that the managers have
the idea that recent political changes in
the south have produced a new repub-
lican party If they think any such thing
they will find themselves mistaken. The
republican party of the south is in vir.
tually the same hands that it was eight
years ago, and the delegates who will &c

Charleston News and Courier Den

The Springfield Republican says: THE
Augusta (Ga) Chronicle let's it's hatred
of the President carry it a good ways
when 1t insinuates that there is the
slightest basis of truth upon which the
blackguardism of Senator Tillman of
South Carolina, can rest. The Chronicles
comments on Tillman's speech are more
than apologize, they are almost compli-
mentary. and a fair inference is that it
sympathizes with the spirit of the worst
of his abuse of the President, if not the
letter. The Chronicle cannot afford to
cheaper itself that way-it should let the
Atlanta Constitution have the monopoly"
But our Massachusetts contemporary
should not be too hard on the Chronicle
1t does not hate the President-it simply
does not know any better And besides
the Hon. Patrick Walsh, one of the ed
itors of the Chronicle, used TO get his
butter from Mr. Tillman.

1t is expected in certain quarters that
a Tillman presidential boom will be de-
veloped at the meeting of the Farmers
Alliance in Washington. Tillman boasts
that he is farmer. and is the only far
mer in the Senate. 1t has been asserted.
on the stump in South Carolina, that Till
man never did an actual hard days work
on farm in his life; that he never went
between the plow handles, or spent the
day from sun TO sun with hoe killing
grass; that he used to be an employing
farmer, wearing top boots, riding around
on horseback with a long whip in his
hand and sitting in the shade on the
top rail talking politics with his neigh
bors, but that he has never been one of
the hard working small farmers with
whom he classes himself. But if he were
a farmer, could the farmers of the coun-
try afford to put up as their type and
representative a man who has proved
himself one of the greatest Doors who has
ever sat in congress?

petrators of these foul crimes to justice

From the Atlanta Financial Index Qnd }

The entrance of Charleston in the field
against Savannah for the subtreasury,
is rather unfortunate, as it may cause
delay in the establishment of the much
needed institution at Savannah while it
can do Charleston no good, TO enter in
the race Savannah, is by far the most
convenient location for the territory to
be benefited, and a comparison of the two
cities from a commercial and financial
standpoint, places Charleston so far in
the rear as to make her practically a
non-combatant

New Orleans in it's clearings, both of
which cities have subtreasuries. and the

venient to Savannah than TO Charleston.

Not a thousand miles from here,
Two enchanted lakes l know;
On those lakes of azure clear
Oft my soul doth sailing go.
In their iimDed deeps / see
lights of potent wltchery.
Net so far away as Mars,
Without any telescope,
l have found twin elfin stars
Star of Peace and star of Hope;
And the magic of their rays
Holds me spellbound as 1 gaze
1 have seen a fairy bright
On this town her home she makes);
She can shroud the stars in night,
Hide from view the shimmering lakes
Would you see this mystic lass?
You will find her-in your glass.
Do you wonder how you may
Work this spell of magic sleight-
Make the blue lakes pass away.
Dim the stars alluring light?
In your power alone it lies;
You need only-shut your eyes!

Calculations of the strength of the sill
yer movement in the several states based
upon the recent vote in the Senate are
worthless, from the fact that the vote
was not representative of the majority
opinion OF many of the states. No well
informed person would in sincerity claim
Pennsylvania as being evenly divided be-
tween free silver and sound money. yet
her Senator Cameron voted for the silver
substitute. In the case Of Georgia,
through an error both of her votes were
recorded as in favor of silver. yet Sena-
tor Gordon is a sound money man. With
the Senate vote as a basis of calculations,
therefore. Georgia would be placed in the
free silver column, when as a matter of
fact there are the strongest reasons for
believing that Georgia's place is in the
sound money column.

CURRENT COMMENT.
Free silver Democratic Senator's.
From the Nashville American Oem.)

These democrats are willing to wager
the future of the party upon the sue
cess of a theory; are willing to stake the
future ability of the party to accomplish
great good for all the people upon the
success of a financial fad; are willing to
make the democratic party an appendage
er, to scatter its forces, and to remove
it from its present proud position be-
cause their peculiar financial views are
not considered by the majority of the
democrats of the United States to be best
for all the people of the United States.
What, then, have the democratic SEN
ators who voted for the free silver coinage
bill gained? What good have they done
their party? What good have they done
the people of the United States?
