SPEECH OF SENATOR MILLS.
1t Receives the Approval Of a "Jef-
fersOnian Democrat"
To the Editor of the Globe.

10 the Editor of the Globe.
Allow me word anent your criticism of
the speech upon the federal currency bonds
and banks. recently delivered in the United
States senate by Hon. Roger Q. Mills, of
Texas. cordially approve of that speech.
IL seems to me to have the right ring-the
tone OF liberal and plutocrat-despising
democracy. Certain it is that the president
ard his secretary Of the treasury, Hon. John
u. carlisle, in wagirg relentless war upon
the legal rehabilitation of our original silver
coinage, in advocating an extension and
TEN. AID in yielding to the demand that the
bonded Indebtedness be increased rather than
to exercise the option of the federal govern
ment to initiate the Bank of France in pay
ing either sold or silver as may be nest
convenient, have departed largely from the
traditions of Democracy and from the ancient
ways pursued with honor by the fathers of
the republic.
1t is time that some one in high place,
more mindful Of the public welfare than of
hcnage TO executive power, more obedient to
the traditions IF Jefferson than to the dc
tates Of those who loot the gold in the United
States treasury to sell it back &c the govern
ment, should voice the reasonable and eQui-
table popular demand that the interest-bear-
banking interest be nc more subsidized or
fortified. Strange is the spectacle of Dem
ocratic secretary of the treasury, either by a
Baltimore PLAN or otherwise, building anew
the structure of a federal banking system.

and conscientious ruler secures good
government, but he does not develop
those who are under him, as nothing
but a sense Of responsibility can do.
When the country once feels sure that
it has not Mr.. Cleveland's courage and
honesty to depend upon in the last
resort, it will demand something very
different from minor party leaders, and
they themselves will see the necessity
of adopting another programme. Those
who regret most deeply the near ap-
proach of the close of Mr.. Cleveland's
term of Office have at least the con-
ISOLATION Of knowing that, although it
must be succeeded by turbulence and
the triumph of much that is evil in pol
itics, it will doubtless compel greater
honesty and a larger care for the pub
lie interest among those who now leave
the exercise Of those qualities to him,
while they cater to the ignorant and
prejudiced vote.

AIIegiance Optional.

To the Editor of the Globe.
Sir: Referring to your editorial comment
under dates Jan. 1S and 16, in the matter of
native-born sons Of alien parentage, I beg
to say that this question was recently dis
cussed in the columns of leading New York
paper, ard the concensus of opinion then ex-
pressed was to the effect that the question
Of allegiance is optional with such persons
themselves.
Fer instance, an aliens son born in this
country may at twenty-one exercise full citi-
zen's privileges ON the ground of being born
here. If he chooses to decline such privileges
he may claim citizenship in the country to
which his father owes allegiance. In case
of war, he may claim exemption to draft by
the United States, provided he has not pre-
vously performed citizens duties Of any
kind, such as voting, jury duty, etc. Or. If
temporarily residing in his fathers native
country he may claim like exemption by
acknowledging allegiance to this country. But
having once declared himself in any manner
his citizenship is then determined, and he is
thereafter under the jurisdiction of the coun-
try to which he has professed allegiance.
The case of the Chnaman cited by you
may be special case, owing to the fact that
special legislation has been passed by the
federal government affecting the citizenship
of the Chinese. Respectfully,
j. ]. Farley.

PRICES TAKE A JUMP.
Coal Dealers Eject a Truce and
Prices Go Tn.

The large coal dealers of ST. Paul
and Minneapolis, who have been car
rylng on spirited rate war for the
past two months. came together during
the nrst OF this week and sufficiently
ADJUSTED their differences to admit the
declaration of an armistice. Just how
long the cessation Of hostilities will
continue, the dealers are unprepared to
state, but they all agree that the fight
has been too protracted already and
are anxiously hoping that no circum-
stances Will arise to inyalidate the
recent agreement regarding the resto-
ration of prices, which now place the
pest anthracite coal at 81 a ton, as
against $685., the lowest price quoted
curing the heat of the struggle. The
seriousness Of the differences which
have existed may in a measure be COM
pretended from the duration Of the
rate war and the numerous attempts
winch nave been made to effect an
amlcabie settlement. Meetings have
been held with varying frequency dur
ing the trouble, but not until this week
could the companies come to anything
IKE an agreement, and, in this instance
1t neceSSitated a two days session to
simply effect a truce. While no bind
ing agreement has been entered into,
it is the prevailing opinion among the
coal dealers that the fight is practically
at an end, and though the former rate
OF So ton may not be restored in its
entirety. it is very likely that next week
S7.75 rate will be inaugurated, which
will be understood to hold during the
remainder Of this winter. In speaking
Of the recent difficulties, the manager
Of prominent local wholesale fuel
company said yesterday: II see no
reason why there should be a renewal
Of our difficulties this winter. We have
been fighting each other for some time
and have concluded that we have lost
about all the money we care to, in
such senseless fight. We have been
selling coal for less than it costs us on
the cars here in st. Paul, simply be-
cause one concern would not give in
to the other, and now that the season
is about over and the time for profits
gone. we are beginning to realize our
mistake and are endeavoring to rectify
it. While we have entered into no iron
clad agreement, I think every coal deal
er in the Twin Cities is so pleased with
the results of our last meeting that
there will be no future trouble, and
prices will gradually approach the
former Standard"

THE RESPONSIBLE PARTY,

The great American bankers in Paris,
Monroe & Co., have sent the following
cable to this side:
'Relinve European investors would readily
take United States IS, principal and interest
payable in gold. but coin or currency bonds,
even per cent, would find quite limited
market"
Referring to this, "a contemporary
says that the administration has
begged in vain for permission to use
the word gold" instead CT "coin" in
the new bond proposals, but that the
free silver cranks in the senate will
not allow it. The free silver senators
are bad enough in all conscience, and
they would undoubtedly refuse to per-
nit any bill providing for the issue Of
gold bonds to pass through their body
At the same time, it is well enough not
to give even the devil more blame than
is his due. The first opposition to the
use Of gold bonds was made by Mr.
Reed in the last congress. Under his
leadership sufficient Republicans in the
house were brought into opposition to
the proposition to defeat it, In the
present congress, again, where Mr..
Reed undoubtedly had the shaping of
the pitifu1 pretense passed by the Re-
publican party under the name of g.
bond bill. the same stipulation was
made. The present speaker Of the
house is first responsible, and there
fore more responsible than any other
man for refusing permission to the
administration to issue that kind of
bond which would find readiest takers,
and could command n sale in those
markets from which it is most desir-
able that the gold supply of our treas
ury should be drawn.
If this country intends to maintain
the gold standard, and to keep the
money metals at par 18th each other
which is what Mr.. Reed and other
Republicans pretend, then it can make
no difference to them whether the word
used in the bonds is gold or "coin.'
When they insisted that 1t should be
the latter, they intimated distinctly
that q contingency might arise in
which we would force the holders Of
our security to accept payment in de-
prcciated silver. That the senate
would take such a stand is no pallia-

CHEEKY CAPT. CASTLE.
He Has IL Few Good Words for
Young Repubs.

The Young Mems Republican league
met at the Windsor hotel last night.
There were about forty members pres
ent. Applications for membership We're
received from forty-fiVe more young
Republicans, and on recommendation
of the committee on membership they
were duly granted. O. II. Rask, chair
man of the committee on permanent
Headquarters, reported that the com
mittee recommended the hiring of
rooms in the Central block at the juno
ton Of Sixth and Seventh streets. The
committee was authorized to secure the
rooms and it was voted to hold the next
meeting there.
There were a few speeches, though
none worth mentioning except that Of
Capt H. A. Castle, who impressed upon
the young men the beautiful lesson
taught by the report of the Parker re-
trenchment committee, and dwelt upon
the Importance of their acquainting
themselves with public affairs.
Upon motion of O. H. Rask the
league adopted a resolution indOrsing
the action of the city council in re-
ducing the municipal expenditures,
pledging it's support of the policy of
retrenchment, and it's assistance in
electing city and county officials that
will carry out such q policy.

wILL1Us SUCCEEDS BIcKEL
AS President of the Germania-The
Allemnnia.

The directors of the Germania bank held an
other meeting yesterday for the purpose OF
electlng a president to succeed William
Bickel. and by a unanimous vote selected
Gustav Willius for the presidency.
Mr. Wiilius was seen by a reporter for the
b e after the meeting and said that Mr..
Bickel made no official statement as to his
reasons for declining to accept the presi-
dency of the Germania. While he had under
stood that Mr.. Bickel was to become interest
ed in new institution he knew nothing about
1t beyond what he had read. If there were
plans on foot to start new bank he did not
think anybody outside of those directly in
terested in the proposed bank knew anything
about 1t, and those interested would certainly
not be willing to say anything until every
thlng had been consummated.
The withdrawal from the Germania takes
away from the bank man who has made
a good reputation as a careful conserva
tive fnancier while connected with the insti-
tuition In making Mr.. Willius his success
sor the Germania has, it is thought by bust
ness men, made fitting choice. Mr.. Will
excellent business judgment. He is an old
resident Of st. Paul, was one of the promo
tiers OF the German-American National bank
and was its president for number of years.
when he was succeeded by Joseph Jockey.
After leaving that bank he went tc Cincin-
natl, where he remained for few years, re-
turning to st. Paul two years ago. Mr..
Wiliius says his election will not result in
any change of policy in the Germania. He
VIII conduct II on conservative and sound
business principles.
The authoritative announcement made in the
G @ b e of Thursday that Mr.. Bickel would
become associated with company in the
organization CT new bank, to be known as
the Allemania, has caused considerable con-
lecture as to who are to become interested
in the new institution. The G b au-
thority intimated that the new bank would
absorb enc CT more Of the st. Paul banks.
and that doubtless led an evening paper to
surmise that the Allemania would take in
the Commercial, the Union and the Mime
sofa Savings bank. A gentleman in po-
sition to know said last evening there was
positively no truth in the report OF any such
combination. The Union bank has not been
considered in connection with the new or
ganization. The Minnesota Savings is organ
lied under a different law and it cannot go
into such combination. Beyond that the
gentleman refused TO make any statement
about the new institution. 1t is thought
however that Albert Scheffer will become
largely interested in the Aliemania and that
may mean that the Commercial will form
part of the new bank.
