The cOcHRAN BILL.

Representative Cochran. Of Mis-
souri,, a member Of the COMMITTEES on
coinage, weights and measures. is
preparing a currency bill to be offered
as a substitute for the much talked Of
Fowler banking bill. The details
are not vet fully worked out, but in
40 Interview Mr. Cochran has said
that his bill will provide for deposit
with the secretary Of the treasury by
banks wishing { oissue notes, national,
state, and municipal, bonds equal to
fifty per cent Of their capital. Such
a plan. while much to be preferred to
the Fowler bill, is doubtless satiF-
factory to Mr.. Cochran only as being
the best that can be hoped for under
existing circumstances. 1t would

that truth lies in extremes, but in

will not circulate unless the govern

in which the government has much
to lose and nothing to gain. II the
government must endorse for the
banks it might as we'll be in the
banking business itself.

OLD PARTISAN BOOKSELLER.
One Of the Most Popular Vendors Of
Rare Books Is No More.

One Of the most popular, as well as
most erudite Paris vendors of rare
books, M. Porquet, has died at an adj
vanced age, at his rooms in the Az
enue de P0pera, whittier he retired
when he gave up his remarkable shop
on the Quai Voltaire. The deceased,
says the London Telegraph, had SUI
perintended in his time sales of such
Libraries as those of the Comte de
Behange, the Marquis de Gamay,
the Baron de la Roche Lacarelle and
NJ. Lignerolles. During a space of 70
years NJ. Porquet kept his shop, and
would never have it lighted BY gas.
For 30 years he had single assistant.
who was a specialist like himself. This
was Amadee, who was well known ia
many bookloyers, and with whom the
Due d'Aumale never failed to shake
hands when he looked into the shop
on the Quai Voltaire. NJ. Porouet
made a good deal Of money cut of his
sales. His only recreation after he
shut up his shop was to 60 to the
Coincide Franchise to witness one Of
the classical Plays, for he abhorred the
romanticists and the realists. The
old bookseller had presented the
Coincide with a very rare edition Of
Moliere, published in 1866. Inre-
turn he was allowed a permanentf free
seat in the leading playhouse.

one nan, IS responsible for the organl-

Mr. Gary was decidedly optimistic
He said that the steel trust had psid

threatening In renly to repeated
and persistent inquiries upon this
matter he finally admitted that there
was one danger ahead. He said:

mind was open on the tariff, but 1

Nos Mr.. Roosevelt tells a differ
ent story. He says that tariff reduc-

stroying the competitors OF the trusts,
thereby accruing to the benefit Of the
s.us.S. Mr.. Gary says it would de-
stroy the trusts. Between the two

Reoseyelt's prediction is based upon

Is as much as aa admission that the

such combinations is to maintain a

II NESBIT LAW.

The Jefferson club, OF St. Louis,
has appointed a committee OF thirty
i've members to hear and codify re.
publican objections to the present
Nesbit election law with a view to
suggesting amendments at the ap-
preaching session Of the legislature.
The Nesbit law is not perfect in its
practical operation. No election law
is So But certainly there Is no
similar law more fair in intent than
this one as it now stands. Up to this
time the objections fled against it
only to petty working details,
None Of the violent criticisms In
dulged in during the campaign find
place in the recommendations OF the
conservative republicans who have
suggested the changes desired by
their party. In fact the suggestions
Of Einkelnberg and Gillian seem
entirely reasonable and as desirable
to democrats as to republicans, being
in the interest Of hopest elections
and honest registration.

truth is, Beverage does not want any
