John Lind, he said, would be called up

The currency bill, prepared by the
house committee of which Congressman
McCleary was chairman, was made pub
lie during the week, ana its principal
provisions are as follows: ,..
First "A division of issue and re-
demption is established in the treasury
for which the secretary of the treasury
is authorized to set aside the general
cash balance in excess of $50, 900, 900.
This excess on March II, 1898, was
$176, 1885, 32. United States notes re-
ceived by this division for redemption
in gold are to be cancelled and retired
to proportion as contain substitute cur
rency as issued. No note redeemed in
gold is to he again paid out except un-
der exceptional conditions.
Second National banks are required
to assume the current redemption of
United States demand notes in order to
OBTAIN circulation based upon their COM
mercial assets. A new class of potes,
called national reserve notes, is to be is
sued in lieu of legal tender notes de-
posted by the banks with the treasury,
and these reserve notes are to be re-
deemed upon demand by the banks out
of the redemption fund which they are
required to maintain in gold. These re-
serve notes are not treated in any re-
spect as bank notes, because the banks
are not liable for their ultimate redemp-
ton.
Thild-The basis of national bank
note circulation will be the commercial
assets of banks, but this will be reached
only afte- series of years.

Fourth National banks are to be
permitted to issue currency notes upon
their commercial assets to the amount
of the reserve notes Issued to them in
return for deposits Of United States
notes. S
Fifth-T Teasury notes issued under
the act Of July 14.1S9O, are to be dealt
with eventually on the same basis as
United States notes.
Sixth-A tax of 2 per cent is levied
upon currency notes issued III excess of
SO per cent Of the capital of any nation
al bark, and of 6 per cent when in ex-
cess of so per cent.
Seventh-The national currency
notes based upon commercial assets are
to be secured by bank note guaranty
fund, made up by the contribution ii
gold coin of per cent of the entire cir
culation of the bank, and provision is
made, for replenishment of this fund
within certain limits.
Eighth-The national reserve notes
will continue to be legal tender until
received into the treasury from failed
and liquidating banks, when liability
for them will be assumed by the gov:
eminent, and they will be redeemed and
cancelled. ~ I
Ninth-Standard silver dollars are to
be redeemable in gold, but silver certifi-
Gates are redeemahle only in standard
silver dollars. The parity of silver with
gold is secured by gold redemption

Of the Spanish government to delay and
delay in hope that the United States
will begin hostilities and give her an ex-
cuse for appealing to Europe. Sagasta's
plan is to wear out the patience of the
American people and compel Mckinley
or congress to take the initiative, no
matter what may be telegraphed from
Madrid or Washington. Enough has
been reported to show that Sagasta has
not the slightest intention of consen ting
t" American Intervention or Cuban in
dependence. He is playing with Nc
E'''Iey as Canovas played with Cleve-
land.
The reply of Spain to. President Nc
Kinley's demand that the war in Cuba
cease is said, in effect, to be:
"The independence of Cuba means the
parting or cession of Spanish territory
which cannot be done without the con.
sent OF the Spanish cortes, which is not

answer can be returned to the demand

give Spain time to treat with the insurg-

New Election Judges.

The County Board of Election Commissioners Wednesday after noon at 530 o'clock made their ap- pointment of judges of election for the several precincts and wards for the coming September election.
 The appointment of the Judges of election is the crowning infamy of the campaign. Not only was MT. Bells request for representation de- nied absolutely, but intense Mccoy partisans and Bell opponents were appointed in almost every instance. It is also the theory of the election law that the Republican member of the County Board Of Election Com missloners shall have the selection of the judges of election to repre-. sent his party, but in their appoint ments the commissioners turned down every recommendation made by Dr. Kite, the Republican mem
 Der, and ;n many instances appoint ed negroes who could not read or write, or make out legal ballot
 For instance, in the city Of Pine Bluff in the Second Ward, so esti- mable citizen asM Mr R. M. Galbraith, Master Mechanic of the Cotton Belt Shops, was turned down for a negro by the name of James Dukes, while in the Third ward so large a proper

I1e! Fie! For shame.

THE GRAPHIC published Wednes day the reply of Messrs A. B. Grace and Leo M. Andrews, Secre. tary and President of the Board of Commissioners respective ly, to Mayor Bells recent eommuni. cation asking that he be granted a at all the voting pre- einets and wards on the day of elee- tion, September }, Not only do the Election Commissioners deny Mayor Bells request, but their answer is couched in such language as to be insulting to Mayor Bell and his fol- lowers and supporters. Mayor Bell is the candidate for sheriff of 972 as true and loyal democrats of this county as ever supported a demo- cratic nominee, and they are en- titled to the respectful eonsidera
 tion of the Election Commissioners and their fellow democrats. But they asked for justice and were gwen a stone. The Commissioners, in their intense partisarrY and anxiety for Mccoy, have utterly ignored the pc tition and request of Mayor Bell and his 164 other petitioners, many of whom were Mccoy supporters. Indeed, many Mccoy supporters, whom time would not permit to see to get their signatures to the peti. tion, expressed a regret that they had not been given an oppor ty to sign it, and expressed full sym pathy with the movement to give Mayor Bell representation at the various voting precincts in order to insure an absolutely fair, honest and unprecedented election, but all of these petitions, along with the others, have been absolutely ignored by the Election Commissioners.
 As we before stated, Mayor Bel
 is the candidate ot 972 Democrats fer Sheriff; Mai Mccoy is the candp date of 757 Democrats and rarti- san committee of fifteen for the same position. If majority rule (which is cardinal creed of Democ- racyl counts for anything, Mayor Bell is more of q Democratic nomi, nee than Mal Mccoy.

 The Yssne.

Next Monday is election day
 On that day the people will be given an opportunity to express and register their sentiments as to recent political events in Jefferson county.
 Whether the fraudulent nomina- ton of H. A. Mccoy and his an- scrupulous methods shall be iudorsed, or whether these frauds and methods practioed in the name Of the party shall be rebuked at the polls, is the question at issue,
 The GRAPHIC believes in standing to principle, right and justice, and we believe the good name and in= tegrity of our party demand that such methods as characterized the Mccoy campaign, and through which his alleged nomination was accom- plished, should be re baked now and forever, as an earnest that sucb things will not be tolerated by the civilization and Democracy of tne county in the future.
 The good name of our county and party, and the reputation of cur people should be redeemed from the odIum cast upon them by the prac= tice of such disgraeeful fra uds as have characterized the Mccoy cam paign from beginning to end. Dem oeratie supremacy is in no wise en- dangered Mayor Bell is as good if not a better democrat Shan Mai Mccoy, and will make tbe county a more efficient aud reliable sheriff and collector Nothing will there fore be lost to the democratic party. which We love so well, by Mayor Bells election, but, on the contrary, the party will be redeemed from the odium cast upon it by Mccoy and his partisans, and disgasted and luke-warm democrats wlI be brought back into the fold, thereby saving the party from further political dis grace and possible defeat in the fu- l ture.
 The campaign for Mir. Bell is one based on principle and honor. as against fraud and interruptions I political methods, and in the move ment to reform 1he present condi- Ion Of affairs, ail good citizens should stand united, regardless of persons, parties, race or previous [ condition.

< New ss Champions

Many times Bolter Murray, in his famous Mccoy organ. says that in the Iress Eagle Mccoy "has 8 friend and champion that is well acquaintz ed with the past political history of Jefferson county, and especially that portion relating to shortages in the treasurer's office that were never adjusted, 7 and then proceeds to in innate that if the supporters of Mr Belldon't let up on McCoy's de- faleation we advise them as did MeBeth, to
 Lay on McDuH! and damned be he who first
 cries, Hold. enoughn"
 This is pretty good for Mccoy s new champion. (Buckie is the old champion.) Guess he will say next, sthe poblins will get youlf you don look out. But, say, Champion, while you are calling ion McDuf tc lay on, how would it do for your man Mccoy to tell the people what has become of that g, 396 30 which is Che difference between the $4, FOG which Mccoy as treasurer owed the county and state, and the g, ,303 7( which the Press Eagle says he pai6 back? Now, NcDuf and MeBetf are all right, aud were said to bt courageous fellows, and both c them may have been champions for aught we know, but the thisa most desirable just at tbis writing is, what has become of that g. 396 30? MeCoy's champion may bayt intended to tell tue public, but fel to quoting Shakespeare and forao. it. However, some other old timl will do just as well.

ty holder as Mr. J. A. Perdue was turned down for negro by the name of Richard sor. This shows to what low partisan intamy the Election Commissioners We're ready to stoop in order to accom- plish MeCoy's election, by fair means or foul. It is a fitting finale to campaign conceived in fraud and born in robbery. It is the crowning act of Mccoy s wrongful and frauduIentnominaton, and was done for the purpose of again thwarting the will of the people, as has already been done in two pri- maries.
 There is now but one thing for the people who believe in fair and honest elections to do, and that is to be at the polls on election day and see that their sacred rights are protected. and bitterly prosecute any and all parties who may attempt to prostitute or tamper with the ballot.
 The GRAPHIois pleased to say that in several instances the appointees, while intense partisans of MeGoy's. are believed to be men Of honor and integrity, and will see to it that there is an honest count. We only regret that there are not more of them, and that the Election Com missioners did not appoint men in every instance whose names would be q guarantee Of a fair and honest election,
 The public knows who are not to be trusted, and upon these they will keep careful aud scrutinizing eye, and should any of these attempt any fraud, it will not nor should not go unwhipped of justice.
