Minor silver Coins.

~om the Boston Herald.
The statement that the bullion in the
treasury for the coinage of subsidiary
silver has been exhausted should not con-
fuse the reader into thinking that Uncle
Sam does not ho.- in his vaults very
large amount OF the white metal. As
matter OF fact. he has. literally tons OF
II. According TO Secretary shaw's testi-
mony, there il enough silver in the treas
ury 70 represent nearly 500 carloads. al
lowing thirty tons per car, and to merely
count this silver would require an expen-
dlture OF something like 100000 With all
that stock OF the white metal on hand
there surely should be enough to mint
the coins that are needed for the subsid-
larry coinage without further purchases
from the silver mine owners. IL was sug-
gested recently that lightweight silver
dollars be reminted into subsidiary coins.
There is no provision at the present time
for the recoinage OF lightweight silver
dollars. there being no appropriation to
cover this expense. AS the subsidiary
coins contain less silver in proportion
than do the standard silver dollars, tho
lightweight dollars could be used with
out loss in striking the minor coins. In
this way there would be no curtailment
OF the general stock OF money In the
country. and, on the whole the currency
would be bettered by the change, full
legal tender dollars being replaced by the
limited tender minor coins.
Permission 10 do such a thing as this
should be readily granted by Congress.
unless the question is complicated by the
Introduction OF a number OF other feat
ures. Too often. however, that is the case
with financial legislation. and so much is
attempted that nothing at all is accom-
pllshed. From the common sense point OF
view. the country needs more small
change. The Government has the silver
in lightweight silver dollars to provide
for this coinage; all that is required is
Congressional permission to use coins that
do not circulate readily among our people
for the minting OF other coins that are
actually needed. Strange as 1t may seem.
recommendations to permit this common
sense change have so far fallen only on
deaf ears in Congress. This would be tho
reasonable way to provide for the new
subsidiary coinage, but If II Is TO stir up
the old silver question in Congress. II
would be better 10 allow the Secretary
to make further purchases OF silver bull
lion Tor the striking OF minor coins rather
than TO have an insufficient supply for
the needs OF the country. II should require
no general debate on currency issues TO
provide for more small change and a
larger number OF bills Of small denomlna-

mony, are demanded by the legitimate

PENNsY TO ISSUE BONDS

Stockholders to Be Asked to Increase
Indebtedness More Than $5o,ooo,ooo
Philadelphia, Jan. 1.-THE board Of
directors of the Pennsylvania Railroad
company decided to ask the share
holders of the company at their an

debtedness of the corporation. The
amount Of the increase to be asked for
was not made public, but it is be-
lieved it will he more than $50. 900. 900.
1t was stated at the Offices of the
Pennsylvania railroad that the au-
thority sought from the stockholders
to increase the bonded Indebtedness
of the company was to put the board
OF directors in a position to issue
bonds in such form as the interest Of
the company may require. The au-
thority heretofore given by the stock,

exercised. restricts the issue of bonds

A-roRNEY. eENERAL,s oEEIcE.

THE Attorney Generals office dur
= ing the next four years will be
conducted by two young men OF I'M
doubted ability and industry. The
comparative youth Of the chief and his
assistant causes nobody to expect in
efficiency. MIR. Richards has been
tested for four years, and his fitness
for the office has been determined.
In selecting his assistant he was
uptrammeiled. and we are pleased to
know that the only consideration that
moved him was the purpose Of select
ing some one who viii be a competent
helper and adviser.
This appointment brings to mind
the absurdly inadequate compensation
allowed by the State for the Attorney
General and his assistant. The former
IS paid a salary OF $4,000. and the lat
ter $3.50. Yet there Is no more important
branch Of our government than this.
II the Attorney General is to have but
one assistant, then the salary OF both
oricers should be raised. The chief
should receive at least $4,000 and his
assistant half as much.
Perhaps a better solution would be
an assistant for each of the counties
other than that where the Attorney
General resides. But one thing is inn
perative; contingent fund, sunicient
for the carrying on OF the work OF the
office. II has been the custom for the
Attorney-General TO pay a part Of the
necessary expenses out OF his own
pocket depending on the Legislature
TO reimburse him. That ought to be
made unnecessary.
