Senator Blackburn does not trust his
constituents to say whether they desire
him to go back to Washington as his own
successor; he is at Frankfort to keep them
in line, and see that they vote to send
him back, or know the reason why. Prob
ably if he were to slack his hold upon his
followers for a few days and go to Wash
ington to attend to the public business,
he would find his prospects "out of sight
when he looked for them again. Senator
Blackburn does not trust the peoples rep
resentatives.

An anti-options bill is pending in con-
gress. That fact seems to have escaped
public attention. Two or three years ago
the anti-options agitation was carried on
with about as much noise as any other
in congress. The demand" for such leg
islation seems to have subsidized to great
extent. A canvass of the House a few
days ago by Mr.. Aldrich of Chicago is
said TO have shown that a majority of
the members will vote against the bin
when it comes up upon its passage.

CURRENT COMMENT.


From the NASHVILLE American Dem)
The democratic nominee for President
must be for honest money, honest govern
ment, honest politics and honest admins
tration. He may not win, but if the party
will put an able man on such a platform
It will blaze the path for future victories
Senator Harris, in his recent interview,
antagonizes such a policy for the demo-
cratic party, but Senator Harris predic-
tons do not ALWAYS materialize.

If Senators Lodge and Teller had known
how good diplomat Dupuy de LONE. the
Spanish minister at Washington, is they
would hardly have attacked him so fierce
~ as they did in the Senate for crticisng
their speeches in support of the Cuban
belligerency resolutions. They supposed
that he had acted hastily and therefore
they jumped on him with both feet and in
timated the possibility of his being sent
out of the country for meddling with
matters with which he has no concern.
The minister, however, had taken pre-
cautions against making himself unac-
ceptable to the administrative branch or
the government by submitting the article
he sent TO the newspapers in which he
criticised the senator's in question to the
Secretary of State before he gave it to
the public, and was told that while the
state department did not indorse the ar
ticle it saw nothing Objectionable in it.
If the state department did not disprove
the article there would be no ground on
which to ask for the minister's recall
AS a matter of fact, there was nothing
offensive in the article. Senators Teller
and Lodge objected to it because the min
lister virtually told them that they had,
unintentionally, as he believed, been i'm
posed upon, and had made statements
about the condition of affairs in Cuba
that were not true. 1t is a risky thing
for minister of another country to ques-
ton the statements of a senator or rep
resentative made in debate. a fact of
which the Spanish minister was we'll
aware apparently. He was shrewd enough
therefore to put the state department be-
tween himself and the senators whom he
criticised, and whose wrath he invited.

After the Bond Syndicate.

Toward the close of tho la.t session of Congress committee, of which Senator Gray, of Delaware, is chair man, was appointed to investigate the conditions and circumstances under which the several issues of bonds were made by the presen. administration. They took the testimony of the secre. tary of the treasury and other officials in Washington, and after the adjourn, msnt in July held their sessions in New York, where they summoned number of bankers who were interested in Mir. Morgan's famous syndicate, and were bidders for bonds at the later issues
 Each of these bankers was asked many searching questions with regard to the profits derived by the syndicate. and the committee got good deal of gos- sip from irresponsible sources, tut the principals, who alone could give the facts, declined to answer questions affecting what they considered to be their private affairs.

Gold and sn,sr Hoarde fin apd,..

Between lo5D and lSsy, oU years, or less than half one lifetime, india has absorbed Ell7.O00,000 in gold and
 E2?7,p00,0o0 in silver. or G34i.0uO. 900 in all. What has become of the silver We do rot exactly know. though 1t is certain that a great proportion of 1t is hoaTded as fixed nnd visible egIth. but about the destination of the gold there Is no doubt whatever. The people have got the W hole of it m their own hands, for it is not m cremation, and are us- ing It either in ornaments kept. be 1t observed, to pawn m extremity. or as hoarded treasures in coiu. such as lies under almost every peasants floor in the Punjaub and eastern Bengal. India is treasure house of gold, yet man may live 5O years m the British prov ipccs and never see an ounce The whole of this wealth. says Lord Roberts, with perfect justice. and especially the gold which represents obviously and necessarily part of the profit on the foreign trade, is due to security, and security is due to the presence Of that army of s0,000 white men. which is so often represented as burden on the Indian peasant.-London Tid- Bits.

Instead of using base metal and washing it with a solution of silver the work is done with silver bullion bearing the marks of th, government assay office, and the spuri oIs coins that have come into posses sion of the treasury officials are found to be few grams heavier and trihe finer than the cons issued from tine hints.
