WEEK IN THE SENATE.
Little Hope ofa Vote on ths Bond BIN this
Week.


Week.
WASHINGTON. D. C., Jan. 1.-THE
greater part of the time of the senate
during the present week will be con-
sumed in the discussion Of the finance
committees silver substitute for the
bond bill. Senator Morgan VIII lead on
with speech tomorrow and Senators
Daniel and Dubois have also given no.
tice OF speeches. Various other sena-
tors are known TO be prepared to take
the floor either In advocacy OF or oppo-
sitIon to the substitute. The probable
tiles are oil against securing vote on
the measure during this week.
The bill Is one which under any cir
cumstances would call for many set
speeches and much animated debate.
which would render II impossible to
reach q conclusion after only one weeks
debate. The advocates OF the bill also
have n special reason In this tHstance
for desiring q temporary delay. Appre-
cintInE the close margin on the vote,
they are desirous that the Utah sena-
tors, of whose support they feel conf
dent, should be in their seats when the
vote is taken. They would probably
not resort to dilatory tactics TO secure
this delay further than to make sure
that there are speeches enough TO con-
sumo the time in what may be desig-
mated MS legitimate debate. There are
several other questions OF minor impor-
tance on the senate calendar which will
receive attention during the morning
hour each day.

Sundry esteemed contemporaries are in
a state of mind over the probable action
of the Republican convention at Mont
pelier, the 29th inst, on the money ques-
ton. Two years ago the following
plank was adopted
We favor the continued ana extended use
of silver in our circulation within the extent
OF the ability of the government to preserve
the present parity between gold and silver.
To this end we will hail with enthusiasm all
efforts of the government to obtain an agree.
ment with all other commercial nations to
secure the lree coinage OF silver on any prop
er ratio.
The foregoing is, if anything, an at
tempt to declare for bimetallsm. The
plank was adopted, as was understood at
the time, after due deiberation and be-
cause of the conviction of the platform
makers that a recognition Of the ele
ment Of the party which favored BIZ
metalism rather than the single gold
standard was necessary to keep the
party in in the nation together. If
thar reasoning was sound then, is
MT it sound today: The number of
Republicans in the United States who
want bimetalism is certainly larger
now than in 1884, and this i presi-
dental year, when union Of interests and
of voting strength is needed. \ similar
declaration to that of 1891 would there
fore seem to be vie, though it might
well be more clearly and more explicitly
worded.
