Objects of the Measure.

The bill is accompanied with report
explanatory of the measure drawn up by
Representative Overs;reet.
The report says that the committee did
not consider the general subject of bank
ing, nor did it seek to arrange compic;c
scheme of finance bat confined its recon-
mendations to those subjects of most press
ing demand, as evidenced by the pledges
of the republican party, and the general
policy Of the administration" 1t was felt,
the report declares, that the strengthen
ing of the public credit by the removal Of
all doubt concerning the policy and pric-
uce OF the government relative 10 the unit
of value, IS OF paramount Importance" 1t
Is pointed out that there can be but one
standard at one time, but that the conven-
fence Of commerce is promoted by the use
of different media of exchange, convertible
irto the standard The report continues
When the standard shall be permanent
ly established and all doubt of its stahil-
lily removed, the parity of all our money
will be fully recognized. and the kind OF
money in which payments shall De MADE

Her Clever Devices.

Her Clever Devices.
"Dona Baldomera has played her hand in
this matter hitherto with singular shrewd-
ness. One day announcement was made
that she had paid out 100000 on a forged
deposit book. On another it was rumored
that she had left Madrid. Each time there
was a run for repayment. All demands
were promptly met; in an hour the tide
turned, confidence was restored and those
who had carried off their hoard in the
morning were only too glad TO bring It
back by nightfall. not to lose a single
days precious interest. OF course the
transparency of the fraud is apparent. The
same thing has already occurred in Italy.
The bank goes on we'll so long as the de-
posits increase in such ratio that the in

Of this rapidly increasing progression must
soon be reached, and then, as in Italy, the
bank must close its doors.
THE matter is a public scandal in Mad
rid. The press calls upon the government
to interfere. 1t replies that it cannot do
until an Offense against the laws is per-
petrated. Dona BaldOmera has been re-
quired to take out banking license at the
maximum rate and has done so under pro-
test. A delegate has been named to in
spect the establishment, and he reports
that no banking business is transacted be-
sides the regular payment of interest and
the reception of deposits, especially the lat
ter. On the occasion of his first visit there

THE utmost publicity is given to t. af-

the credit of possessing shrewdness enough

than the lottery or the green cloth. The
