Commercial Club Stands by the Ac-
ton Tnl>en Inst TueslnN.

A special meeting of the executive com
mittee of the Commercial club was called
yesterday afternoon for the purpose of
an attempt to rescind the resolu-
tion passed Tuesday, protesting against
the proposed extension of the water
works franchise. The matter was dis
cussed for more than an hour and finally.
by an overwhelming vote the resolution to
rescind was laid on the table. W. S. Popple-
ton made a vigorous protest against recon-
sideration and his views were supported by
several members of the committee One or
two members who favored reconsideration
said that they did so purely because they
believed it was not the province of the Com
mercial club to interfere in such matters and
not because they were in favor of the proposei
action of the city council in regard to the
franchise

Municipal Paper to he offered the
First of Next Year.


An ordinance is now under consideration
providing for another issue of renewal bonds
The proposed renewal bonds are to take up
short-time bonds that will mature during
1897. They aggregate $316.900. The bonds
will run for ten years and bear Az per
cent interest the same as those which were
issued year ago There is some complaint
from the agents of prospective bidders over
the manner in which the bonds are issued.
The plan that was followed last year and
which is contemplated for the new issue is
to deposit the bonds with the fiscal agency
in New York. AS each lot of old bonds
mature the purchasers of the renewal bonds
pay over the amount maturing to the fiscal
agency and receive renewal bonds to that
amount. The old bonds are then Cancelled
and the same proceeding is repeated as each
set of bonds natures.
The bond buyers now assert that this plan
is hardship on them. They contend that
the money market is always at its dullest
point from September to January, which is
the period in which most of the bonds
mature. During the spring when the bond
market 10 active they cannot dispose of the
renewal bonds but get the bulk of them
during the dull season. They want some
plan suggested by which they can get the
renewal bonds in lump and dispose of them
without regard to the date when the old
bonds mature. In the opinion OF the city
attorney and members of the finance com
mittee any such scheme Is not practicable as
1t would be impossible to issue new bonds
while any of the old bonds were still out.

"IF BRYAN Is ELECTED"

Reports are beginning TO appear in the
newspapers to the fleet that merchants
who are compelled to order their goods
for the winter at this time are not only
exercising extreme caution but are fur
ther protecting themselves by inserting
clause that the order is contingent on
ByRAN's defeat in November.
The dealers in holiday goods are taking
especial precautions in this way. We learn
that large orders have been received
by the "Yankee Notion" factories down
in Connecticut that are qualified by
such postscripts as the following;
"This order Is understood to be can
celed in the event of Bryan's election.
l"we shall not want these goods unless
Mckinley is elected"
"ShiD the enclosed order IL the election
goes against Bryan"

GENTLEMEN-To protect ourselves In
tilne OF panic and financial distress
which we regard as inevitable II the un-
expected should happen in Novem her
we have decided TO aud the following K
condition to all contracts made for
newspaper advertising:
"It Is also agreed that should the free
silver candidate Bryan be- tlecred, the DIR.
Miles Medical Company have the privilege
of canceling the contract
From this date contracts without this
clause will not be accepted.

This medical company is one OF the

Perhaps it expends in advertising al
much as 500, 900 q year.
All this is very signifi cant. IL we had
any theories as to the desirability OF the
United States guaranteeing TO furnish a
market for all the silver in the world at
twice it's market value, we should, under
the circumstances. pause o little to con-
slider whether we were tending toward
Foolville or were simply suffering from a
temporary alteration that would be
likely to pass away before November :

TOKENS THAT WILL TALK.

We are informed that large silver
mandatory is going to do little silver
coming of its own that will be illustrs-
tive.
II proposes to issue coin, or token
that shall actually contain 100 cents
worth OF standard silver.
OF course to represent full dollar the
coin, according to the present market price
OF silver will be just twice as big as the
present standard silver dollar. At the
present price of silver our silver dollar
would be worth almost exactly 80 cents
were 1t not for the government stamp
ana the ability of the government to
back up the difference that makes 1t
worth, for trade and purchase, 100 cents.
We're the private mandatory
to make tokens of the same
weight and aneness OF the
silver dollar they would be worth only
80 cents. BY making them twice as large
they will be worth dollar anywhere.
They will be worth dollar when the
government dollar under an unlimited
coinage act would be worth only 90 cents,
the value OF it's weight, the actual
bullion, or intrinsic, value.
The manufacturers OF the cart wheel
token propose to sell them for silver
dollar. In other words, you will be en-
abied to buy a coin containing just twice
as much ana twice the value in silver OF
the silver dollar you buy with. You
will get two for one because OF the gov
eminent hat This Will be instructive,
and besides the manufactures will be
