ate substitute for the House currency
bill was passed by the Senate by the
decisive majority OF 46 to 30, Senator
Caffrey, of Louisiana, and Senator
Lindsay, Of Kentucky. voting with
the Republicans. The bill fixes and
establishes the gold standard, and
also provides for the establishment Of
national banks with a capital of $685..
600. 1t is thought the bill will be
passed by Congress in its present
shape, and as such become the law oil
the land.
The bill as passed consists OF ten
sections. 1t provides that the dollar
OF 25' $40 grains of gold, $40 fine,
shall be the standard unit of value,
and that all forms of United States
money shall be maintained at pari-
ty with it; and that treasury notes
and greenbacks shall be redeemable
in gold.
The secretary OF the treasury is to
set apart a fund OF $50, 900, 900 in
gold forthe redemption of these notes,
and to maintain this fund at figure
not below $100,O0O,O0O, be is en-
powered to sell bonds of the United
States, bearing interest at not to ex-
coed 3 per cent.
1t shall also be the duty of the SEC
Rotary OF the treasury, as fast as sill
yer dollars are coined, to retire an
equal amount of the treasury notes,
and to issue silver certificates against
the silver coined. Under certain pro-
visions, too. gold certificates shall be
issued against the gold held in the
treasury. No United States notes or
treasury notes shall he issued in de-
nominations of less than $40, and no
silvercertificates in denominations of
more than $40. Thesecretary of the
treasury is also authorized to refund
the bonded debt of the United States
in thirty-year bonds, bearing per
cent interest, the principal and inter-
est OF these bonds to be paid in gold.
The 2 per cent bonds shall be issued
at not less than par. Any national
bank, by depositing with the United
States bonds of this country, shall be
permitted to issue circulating notes
to the face value of the bonds deposit
ed, no bank being allowed to issue
circulating notes in excess Of the
amount OF the paid-in capital stock
Of the bank.
Provisions of this act are not in
tended to place any obstacles in the
way of the accomplishment of inter-

same be secured by concurrent action
Of the leading commercial nations of |

The Fusion Ticket.

The Tines-Democrat has been &C.
cused of being rather luke-warm in
it's support Of the Democratic ticket.
Be this as it may, it is not carried
away with admiration for the s.com-
bine ticket. 1t says:
Even the strongest partisans OF
the fusion ticket which was adopted
on Tuesday by the Lily White Re
publicans and Populists cannot ac-
cuse it OF being strong ticket, or of
having in 1t the elements requisite
for success.
And not only Is the ticket weak
when regarded from the outside, but
we take the liberty of questioning
whether those who are responsible
for 1t believe that it has the strength
to come near achieving the purpose
for which 1t is ostensibly intended.
Whetherit win poll as many votes as
the Wimberly ticket we do not pro-
Tess TO be able to say: but that either
OF them will come within thousands
OF the vote that will be cast for the
Democratic ticket is a supposition too
absurd to be entertained by any one
who has the most elementary knowl-
edge OF the politics OF the State.
Louisiana is still not far enough from
the 1856 era to give any ticket that
has so much as a SAVIOR of Republican
ism in 1t even a chance of success.

Mr.. C.. NJ. Brannon our Democratic
candidate for Representative, is a fine
type OF the intelligent and thrifty far
mer, and is a man Of integrity and
sterling worth. He has been leader
in the truck farming business in east
Grant parish for several years. and
has made the business success. He
is in the race because his friends put
him there by a handsoms majority Of
their votes in the primary election,
and from no seeking or solicitation
of his own. In this respect he is a
long way ahead of the Populist nom-
inee, who was put up by the bosses at
a little side show run entirely in their
own interest.

BIG CROWDS COMING

MARTINS MALLS HEAVY
PROMINENT CATTLEMEN SAY
THEY'RE COMING.

Secretary Martin of the National
Livestock association says that never
i'm his experience has there been so
much interest mapifested in a conven-
ton as in the one to be held in this
city next month. His correspondence
is crowded with letters from prominent
cattIemen telling him that they will
be at the convention and asking him
even at this early day to secure hotel
accommodations for them.
In Mr.. Martins mail yesterday were
letters from F. NJ. Stewart of Buffalo
Gap, South Dakota, stating that thirty
cattlemen would be at the convention
from that state: T. F. 3. Sotham. the
big Hereford Cattleman from Chilli

here with some Of his best cattle; g.

; The matter Of the organization of a

week of the convention is meeting with
I great favor among the horse men of

week is considered the best time for
working the matter up. The idea is to

Important Matters to Come Up.

McGinnity thinks he has been shah

season, having drawn but s.. 800 salary.
$500 under the league limit and TeCeiV-
ing but 500 bonus for bringing the
championship to the city of churches.

stars like Kelly, Keller and Jennings

named being close to $1,000 Nc
Ginnity is not she least bit 'swelled, -
but he does realize the fact that he is
worth as much as any other pitcher.
He has not heard from HanlOn since
the season closed and does not know
what the Brooklyn manager intends To
offer him for the season of 1901. but he
states that the limit from HanlOn viii
not suit him and that for no amount
of money will he play under Wise
Neddie' next season OF any other East
ern National League club. The st.
Louis club and local fans would glory
in seeing the Iron Man on the
Cardinals team. 1t has been suggested
that the St. Louis management offer
Hanlon Sl5,000 for McGinnity's release
This would round out the entire team
and it Is thought make a sure winner
out of it for next season.
