Finance In Congress.

On the 18th of January the Senate of the United
States was notified, through the managers of the
majority side of the chamber that the currency leg
islaton of the congressional session must be con-
fined to the A1drich bill, with which the public IS
familiar.
It had been observed that the latent opposition to
the measure becoming active and it became the
duty, SO assumed of the Republican control of the
Senate to guide the erring feet of the brethren into
the pathway marked out by the architects of panic
for whom Mr.. A1drich speaks whenever he says
anything decisive
The Fowler bill, which followed the draft ap-
proved by convention of the American Bankers
Association held at Atlantic City September 49, 1907,
was thus eliminated from legislative consideration
and the Congress directed to concentrate its
votes on the measure that bore the of the
patron saint of the New York money trust.
On the goth of January another influence projected
itself above the horizon of financial endeavor. The
resolutions committee of the currency commission of
the American Bankers Association issued report
of Saturdays session of the currency commission,
through which the public was informed that the
commission had rejected the asset currency PROPOSE
tons now before Congress in the form of bills
The Aldrich bill was declared by the commission
to be impracticable, unwise and financially unsound
and that the passage OF the Fowler Dill would ur-
settle, rather than improve financial conditions.
The A1drich bill was characterized "a step back
ward to the conditions which gave rise to the wild
cat currency before the Civil War" 1t would en-
courage the acceptance of undesirable bonds
curity for note issues and would cripple the lending
power of banks by taking from the reserves 100000
in lawful money that $4,000 in notes might be is
sued.
Finally the A1drch bill would tend to create
fictitious bond market and lead municipalities to
increase their indebtedness and would compel 1ssu-
ing banks to suffer net loss of two per cent on
notes issued.
The commission favored the issue of National
bank guaranteed credit notes. to the extent OF twenty
per cent of the capital of the bank without the de-
post of United States bonds, now required by
law.
Whether the A1drich bill will continue to thrive or
will fall of it's own weight under the ban OF the
Bankers Association will have to be decided by Mr.
Aldrich and the other steerers of the Senate
MANY of the National banks of Illinois have been
heard from on the subject of the Aldrich bill, IN
response to inquiries, and they manifest an over
whelmng opposition to the measure. They hold that
the securities upon which it is proposed to base asset
currency are held almost entirely in the East and
Western banks would be compelled to pay inflated
prices for them should they avail themselves OF the
privileges of the proposed law.
The milk in the A1drich cocoanut becomes visible
under this explanation. He legislates for Eastern
banks exclusively.

Unless this morning Secretary of State Frank N. Julian opens mali or telegrams announcing the withdrav wa 1 before midnight Monday of F, w Bromberg and pr. W. T. Henderson of / Mobile, Republican enterprise in Ala bama will have counted for naught. At o'clock Monday afternoon when Chief Clerk Cy Brown locked the doors of the Secretary of States office. these two nominees of the Republican Oa- vidson Faction" had not requested their names to be withdrawn as candidates respectively for Associate Justice of the Supreme Court and Presidential Elector.
 Representatives at Republican head quarters in Birmingham Monday talked to Secretary of State Julian relative to the number of Davidson nominees who had with drawn from the list. They were told that all but two had wired him to take of their names from the ballot, but that unless the last man made such request he would stick by his ultimatum given Saturday and certify out the two factions. David son as well as Thompson. to the Pro- bate Judges, to be placed on the official ballot in the general election.
 It would be a hard fight to lose. Not until late Saturday afternoon did the 'harmonizers' of the Republican P@A " hOW dFItNSAy lu claFSe or state headquarters in Birmingham, begin their lightning work to save the in- tegrity of the ticket. As soon as the firm position of Mir. Julian became known. and that the simple request of Jules W. Davidson alone for the with drawal of the "Arm and Hammer ticket meant nothing, the Thompson ttes began to hustle. ..
 Every one of the dozen or more nominees of the Davidson faction was telegraphed to send the resignations of their candidaciesf to MT. Julian i'm. mediately: In a. few hours the, wires began to get busy. The coveted re- quests were received one by one until at noon Monday all but four had withdrawn and in the early afternoon only two remained outside the fold of the administration. For 1t should be known that the Taft crowd Is the Thompson followers, and they are to appear on the official ballot under. the emblem of ''Vulcan."
 It was rumored that certain promi- nent Republicans opposed to the Thompson faction, If not of the David son crowd, are not in favor of giving

 A hat was found lying on the floor and with this as clue, the authorities set about to apprehend the culprit. As result of investigation two negroes were locked up on suspicion.
 The gin is located in the warehouse district where probably there is over a hundred thousand dollars worth of goods stored. The gin Is wooden building. as are the warehouses, and are very close to the Sessoms Grocery Company. a wholesale house, and there is no doubt that If the fire had gotten started all these buildings would have been destroyed Gs the wa ter supply Is very small in fact so small that it could hardly cope with a small fire.
 The wells from which the city gets It's supply are almost exhausted since the drought. and should a fire break out the fire department would almost be powerless to fight It.

way to the Taft adherents. They are said to be so badly split that they will not even permit of putting up 'har- monized" front even to in the matter of the ballot for November 3.
 If the Thompson faction does not succeed in wiping of the Davidson ticket before 1t leaves the Secretary of State. 1t will leave them but one alternative. They must then deal with the Probate Judges in the several counties. They win find this a difi- cult task indeed. for once the names reach these oficers from the State House they are usually deaf to all pleas for changes or omissions. Of course. mandamuses might bring about the desired result. but the action would have to be swift and the expense heavy. The outcome will be watched with interest.

MISUNDERSTANDING with the
request of yourself and associates,
that we submit to you in writing our
proposal on various questions, with a
view of harmonizing the different ele-
ments of the democratic party now
in Wallace. we beg to submit the fol-
lowing:
I'm the interest of harmony, we
propose that the following plank shall
be in the state platform. viz:
THAT we demand the determination
of polygamy and unlawful cohabita-
ton within the State Of Idaho, and
the complete separation Of state and
church in political affairs. We pledge
the people Of Idaho that, in the event
OF democratic success at the polls In
November, we will make effective BY
Legislative enactment the wise and
patriotic declarations in our state con
stitution, contained in section 3, arti
Gle 6.
"2-In regard to the seating Of del
legates in the Wallace convention, W.
propose that the delegates from Adj
| County be permanently seated on you
side, and that the delegates now OF
the temporary roll prepared by thu
State Central Committee be perma
nently seated on our side.
| GIN reference to the complexion
of the State Committee, we propos
that the convention itself decide tn
number and manner Of choosing tina
it shall be made plain that the demo
cratic party proposes to enforce tn
| State constitution, but that during tn
| campaign the committee officially VII
take no action to put into effect tn
recent decision of the supreme cour
of the State.
"In regard to campaign speaking

be at liberty to defend the State plat
!. form and to stand squarely thereon
but that said speaker shall be at III
lerty to discuss any questions contain
! ed in either the State or national plai
lforms.
I'm submitting the above proposal
we feel that we have gone to n
greatest extent possible in recon
