List summer Hr. D. T. Allyn, of this
place, w irked for the B. and Al., railroad

east from Tecumseh, the county seat of
Johnson county, Nebraska. On the 2d day
of July lie met with an accident that nearly
cost him his life. He and live other men
■were working a hand car in front of which
a push car. Air. Allyn was standing
f n the front part of the ear, with his back
towards the direction in which the car was
being run. Just as the two cars came to
•i -.her the foreman ordered him to step
from the ear on which they were riding on
to the push car, and at the same time
signaled another of the men to apply the
brake, which slackened their speed enough
to .cause a gap of a few feet between the
’ cars.
In stepping back to comply with the order
he feii upon his back in the middle of the
railroad track and the car, with its load of
five nn ■. tools and water keg, in all weigh

JAY COOKE ON SILVER.
Strong Talk frum a Famous Eastern
Finn ncier.
From The Philadelphia American.
Mr. Cooke is an advocate •■£ free sliver,
snu he </.pressed himself very strongly on
tiiat subject, expressing regret that the
subject v. aS so little understood by the peo
ple in the east.
“The tic monetization of silver,” he said,
"was a national crime, because at one biow
it cut off one-half of the basis ot values,
and that, alter aii, lies at the root of the
money question. 1 am a bimetallist from
bead to foot, and 1 believe much of our
.t .units may be traced to the blow at our
silver. The fight against silver has been
carried on for more than filteen years, ami
;*_ has been aided by official antagonism on
part of secretaries of the treasury as
’ uch as anything else. One ot the tilings
v.e need is the remonetization of silver. We
’..eed it, too, without any cowardly make
shifts, without Sherman bills or any other
kind of bills. I know the objection will be
--d that the ear.led Htates cannot act in
<;ep .. 1. '.tly in a matter of this kind, but 1
be* 1 ]i-ave to uisaenl. A binuil issue ul bonds
rer all the silver tha t
would come to us from abroad. Besides
this only the silver from our own mines
should be coined at the mints, and then a

tries ot Europe would be with us. This, 1

XOMINATIOIf IS ItJS
JECTED Jil TUE SENATE.
A Mugwump It Now Grata Persona—Tho
New Yorker is Defeated Worse than
Hornblower Was—Grover is Mad.
Washington, February 16.—(Special.)—
Wheeler H. Peckham, Mr. Cleveland’s nomi
nee for justice of the supreme court, was
rejected by the senate this afternoon by a
vote of 40 to 31.
Senator Gordon, of Georgia, was paired in
favor of Peckham. Senator Colquitt did not
vote, neither was he paired. He did not
want to vote for Peckham and he did not
want to vote against him unless his vote
was necessary to defeat him. Therefore,
just before the vote was taken, the senior
senator from Georgia was wheeled out of
the senate chamber in his roller chair and
thereby escaped voting at all. He had re-
WHEELER H. PECKHAM.
ceived scores of telegrams from Georgia on
both sides of the question. Among them
were several from Atlanta and other parts
of the state to vote against Peckham, while
one came from Augusta, signed by several
there, asking nim to vote for Peckham.
The action of the senate today demon
strates tuat that body is determined to have
for this position none otner than a man
whose democracy is unquestioneii. This is
the second man President Cleveland has
nominated for this vacancy which the sen
ate has rejected.
Mr. develuud <h Very Mnd.
Senator Gray is again being talked of,
and so is Secretary Carlisle, 'the president
stated a week ago that if Pecahum was
rejected he w.ould not nominate another
New York man, but who he will nominate
no one seems to know. He was very
when he received the news from the capitol
this afternoon that Peckham had been re
jected, and is said to have g.ven vent to
some choice language in commenting up
on the senators.
Senator Hill is very happy and looks upon
It as a great victory fur party organiza
tion.
The Vote.
The vote was as follows:
For continuation, democrats—Bate, Black
burn, Brice, Buller, Calfery, Faulkner,
George, Gray, Harris, Hunton, Lmusay,
McPaerson, Martin, Mills, Mitchell, ot
Wisconsin; Palmer, Pasco, Hansom, Roach,
Turpte, Vilas, Voorhees and \V hhc, of
Louisiana; republicans, Dixon, Hab .Petti
grew, Mitchell, of Oregon; P att, X’roctor,
Squire, Stockbridge; populists, ivyie—
Total 32.
Against confirmation, Republicans—Aid
rich, Allison, Cameron, Carey, Chandler,
Cullom, Davis, Dolph, Frye,Gal Huger, Itans
brough, Hawley, Higgins, Hoar, Lodge,
Manderson, Morrill, Pentins, Power, Shoup,
Stewart, Teller, Washburn, Wilson; demo
crats, Berry, Cali, Cockrell, Coke, Daniel,
Gibson, Gorman, Irby, Jones, ot Arkansas;
McLaurin, Murphy. Hill, i’ugh, Vest,
White, of California; populists, -ki.en, Pef
fer—Total 41.
This shows twenty-three democrats, three
e po voting for
confiri’Uition a.nd fifteen cemocrats, twenty
four republicans and two populists voting
against.
The pairs were as follows:
McMillan for with Vance against, Morgan
for w.ith Quay against, Smith for with
Dubois against, Gordon for with Wolcott
against, Camden fur with Jones, of Nevada,
against.
Bringing Pressure to Bear.
The most remarkable pressure has been
brought to bear by the patronage influences
from every part of the United States in try
ing to force Peckham through the senate.
Particularly heavy was it tills morning,
and It develops that a systematic plan ot
campaign has been directed Hum the lead
ing federal appointees here who have been
in touch with thousands of other appointees
frem ether parts of the country, through
whom they have hud telegrams sent to
senators here, stating that their people
were overwhelmingly in favor of the con
firmation of Peckham.
A queer feature of this plan of campaign
comes from the south. As a rule the south
ern democratic senators, who were disin
clined to put a premium on mugwumpery,
have been opposed to Peckham’s confirma
tion. They have been greatly surprised,
however, dining the past few days, at re
ceiving a number of telegrams from differ
ent parts of their respective states, asking
fur his confirmation, and strange to say, al
most every telegram came from the neigh
borhood of some appointee to a fat federal
office, or if it did not come from that im
mediate neighborhood in every instance,
there could be found some identity of inter
est between the sender and some prominent,
government official The senators have
laughed over the matter among themselves,
and have manifested considerable interest
over some of the telegrams received.
An Interesting Development.
Strangely true was this of Georgia, and
not until yesterday was it supposed that
there was any doubt about Senator Col
quitt’s vote. Everybody hire knew, of
course, that Senator Gordon would vote for
j’eckiiam’s confirmation. Indeed, from the
very beginning of the contest, all of the
senatorial cuckoos were counted on the
X’eckham side. But Senator Colquitt, hav
ing voted against Hornblower, was counted
as being against Peckham, until it was
rumored yesterday that he was doubtful.
The report that he was wavering was in
stantly taken up by the Peckhamites. It
is said that Senator Gurdon has been of
late pleading with him for Mr. Peckham’s
confirmation, notwithstanding the fact that
he was a mugwump. Then the patronage
officials here high in power went to work
creating a private public sentiment in
Georgia, to bring to bear indirectly on Sen
ator Colquitt the influence which they knew
they could not exert by personal appeals.
Their plan worked well, and the cousins
and the uncles and the la.v partners of
federal apointces from Georgia began their
work on Senator Colquitt. From Dan to
Bersheba they communicated with him,
trying to convince him that every man, wo
man and child in Georgia was desperately
Interested in I’eckham’s confirmation. This
little game was discovered, however, and
the news of it scon reached Georgia, w’here
upon Senator Colquitt received a mass of
telegrams from different parts of the state,
urging him to stand firm against Peckham’s
confirmation. The distinguished senator was
in doubt to the last, however, and while
he proved his unwillingness to vote for
Peckham and manifested his condemna
tion of the confirmation by refusing to sus
tain the nomination, lie retrained from go
ing on record against it, though he would
no doubt have done so had it been neces
sary to defeat it.
AH Hard nt Work.
Yesterday and today have been, practi
cally, holidays for the heads of the inte
rior department. Secretary Smith and his
able assistants have been hard at work try
ing to get Mr. Peckham through the senate.
So it has been with almost all of the other
leading government departments. The ji.es
sure was first brought to bear on the cabi
net officials, and they were given to under
stand that they were expected to work
like wheelhorses in behalf of the confirma
tion of the New York mugwump, who has
been devoting his time most energetically
since 18SS to the effort to make a republican
state out of New York.
The rock-ribbed, old-fashioned democrats
of Washington are enthusiastic tonight, and
nothing has happened since the adminis
tration has been in power to create such
democratic enthusiasm as the rejection of
FHE WEEKLY CONSTITUTION; ATLANTA, GA., TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 1894.
Mr. Peckham. It has fired the democratic
heart and ail of the old timers here are
in splendid humor over it.
IHugwnmpß Are Wearing Crepe.
Wheeler l J eckham’s defeat carries grief
to the heart of the mugwump and the
keenest joy to every faithful democrat.
Peckham has been the most unrelenting
enemy that Tammany has ever been called
upon to light. Like all apostates he has
the most intense hatred for the organiza
tion to w'hich he once belonged, Tammany,
and from which he seceded for some fan
cied grievance or imaginary neglect. He
has been a satellite of Cleveland from the
day Grover’s star began to move from the
eastern horizon to its zenith. Revolving
around Mr. Cleveland it was perhaps .1:. I or
al for the devoted Packham to 3?e in David
B. Hill a possible rival for the Buffalo
statesman. So Peckham fought 11.11 at
every turn and with bitterest acrin’cny.
A Hill ticket was to Peckham as a red
flag to a bull. In the campaign of 1587
he voted for Warner Miller, the repMlican
candidate, against Mr. Hill, and has opposed
the democratic'organization almost ever since,
and only a few days ago in the special con
gressional election in his district, refused to
vote for the democratic nominee.
Few Are Sorry.
Washington, February 17.—(Special.)—The
groat mass of the house democrats express
satisfaction and gratification at the senate’s
action in rejecting Nir. Peckham yesterday.
This docs not mean that the democrats of
the house side with Mr. Hili as against Mr.
Cleveland in their personal and political
disagreement, but it does mean that the
house is opposed to Mr. Cleveland bringing
personal resentment into his nominations
for high offices. They feel that Mr. Cleve
land has not risen to the occasion and,
therefore, they are glad that the senate re
fused to confirm a numineo who was not
qualified.
SutiNfnctiou at the Result.
Even among the senators who voted for
Peckham’s confirmation there is a feeling
of satisfaction over the result. This is
not shared by the cuckoos to be sure but
ft is by both the stalwart democrats and
republicans. Several of the senators who
voted for Peckham did so for personal rea
sons, knowing that their votes were not
needed to defeat him. Had it been neces
sary there were other democratic senators
ready to reject the New Yorker.
All the straighout democrats and repub
licans have it in for the mugwumps. The
republicans prefer a stanoh democrat every
time to a man who is first one thing and
then another. The republicans who voted
against Peckham did so not that they cqred
any more for one democratic faction than
the other but becauso they believe in party
discipline.
McLAI R I
Senators Pnsji n. Hill Requiring the
Rock Ihliiikl to lioilil Depots.
Washington, .February 15.—The newly
elected senator from the state of Mississippi,
Mr. McLaurin, in the place of Mr. Walthall,
made his nrsi appearance in Hie chamber
this morning. His credentials were present
ed by Mr. George, and tne oath of oiliee was
administered to him by the vice president,
atter which lie was introduced personally to
many of his future associates on both sides.
At 12:30 o'clock the unfinished business
was taken up, being the bill requiring rail
roads in territories to niaitain stations and
depots at aii towns established by the in
terior department; and Mr. Platt
addressed the senate in opposition
to it. The bill, while appar
ently of a private character, bad been
drawn, he said, for a special purpose, and
that purpose might have been expressed In
the title by the words, “an a l to carry
out the determination of the secretary ot
the interior to have the Rock Island Rail
road Company establish depots at End and
Round Pond.” It was special and there
fore mischievous legislation.
Air. Platt’s speech closed the debate, and
then Mr. Blackburn moved to lay the bill on
the table.
The motion was defeated—yeas 25,
nays 31.
An amendment reported by the committee
requiring an election in the counties of
L and O, in Oklahoma to determine
the location of the county seats in those
counties, came t.p for action; and Mr. Pef
fer offered an amendment to it. which would
allow the women, as well as the men, to
vote on the question. He declared that he
would avail himself of every opportunity to
strike out t.’»e word “male” whenever it in
terferred with the rights of females. “The
time has come,” he said, “when we
the help of women in pul lie affairs as much
as we do tn private affairs. It wad i tdve
to mi n God bles: hi very advantage,*
every right, every privilege.”
The Ladies Applaud.
A few gloved hands in the gallery were
clapped in approbation of the sentiment.
Air. Peffer's amendment was rejected—yeas
15. nays 42. The affirmative votes were
given by Messrs. Allison, Carey, Davis,
Dolph, Frye. Gallinger, Hansbrough, Kyle,
Manderson, Mitchell of Oregon, Peffer, Per
kins, Stewart, Teller and Wilson.
The committee amendment was then
agreed to.
Several amendments were proposed by Mr.
Blackburn and were rejected.
The bill was then passed. The vote was
yeas 27, nays 27, and the vice president vot
ed aye.
Air. Berry, in charge of the bill, asked
consent for the appointment of a committee
for conference on the amendment, but Air.
Blackburn objected, making a remark in an
undertone about a motion to reconsider.

A Disgraceful Inmilt Offered to Hon. J. 8.
Morton by His Fellow Townsmen.
Nebraska City, Neb., February 16.—(Spe
cial.)—Early this morning effigies were
found hanging at a prominent place in this
city of the Hon. J. Sterling Alorton, secre
tary of agriculture, and his son, Carl Mor
ton, bearing the inscription: “Compliments
of the Democratic Marching Club.”
It is not known who did the work. The
deed is the culmination of anger on the
part of many prominent democrats on ac
count of the Nebraska appointments made
by Secretary Morton, whose home is here,
and particularly the appointment of Wil
liam I’ilaeging to a lucrative position in
the packing house here. Pflaeging is presi
dent of the republican club here and was
given the place over a hard working, hon
orable democrat who was endorsed by all
the leading democrats here.
Alany democratic politicians came out in
interviews condemning the appointment
and declaring it meant the loss of many
democratic votes.
Carl Morton said: “I don’t care who
kicks. Father is under obligations to few
people in this section.” All citizens unite
in declaring the effigy hanging an outrage,
even though some think the provocation
was great.

BATTLING FOR SILVER.
TUE COINAGE OE THE SEIGNORAGE
DISCUSSED IN THE HOUSE.
A Number of Members Favor the Free Coin,
uge of Silver While Others Oppose It.
Tho Conspiracy of ’73 Reviewed.
Washington, February 13.—Immediately af
ter the house journal had been read and
approved today, the Hawaiian correspond
ence sent to the house yesterday afternoon,
which arrived during the delivery of eulo
gies upon the late Senator Stanford, was
read, at the suggestion of Mr. Burrows,
and rbfefred to the committee on foreign
affairs. , .
The seigniorage bill was taken up. and
Mr. Bland asked unanimous consent t..at
general debate should close tomorrow af
ternoon at I o’clock, but general objection
was made on the republican side, and there
was a demand for the regular order.
Air. Bell, of Texas, spoke in favor of the
bill. He compared the financial policy of
the present administration with that which
preceded it and held that the remarkable
extravagance which prevailed prior to Mr.
Cleveland’s inauguration was responsible for
the depression which followed and now
rendered necessary the issuance of the
bonds or money with which to provide
funds for the payment of current expenses.
He thought it better to issue money than to
sell bonds, which would pass into the hands
of national banks and become an additional
drain on the gold reserve.
He thought the Issuance of the paper
money in Hie shape of greenbacks prefera
ble to silver certificates.
Mr. Johnson opposed the hill. He favored
the coining ot’ the seigniorage and all bul
lion in the treasury, but he regarded the
pending measure as deceptive, misleading
and destructive in its effects, its real pur
pose and result would be to withdraw treas
ury notes and substitute for them silver cer
tificates. It would not only destroy the
parity between gold and silver, but woUTd
disturb tlie parity between the different
kinds of paper money now in circulation.
Silver and Fnrin J’rodncts.
Mr. Bankhead spoke in favor ’of the bill.
He did not. believe it pc v.lb’o that th • sec
retary of the treasury • mid acniniu aic an 1
maintain a sufiicieM volume of gold with
which to redeem currency and he thoug.it
t. at silver should also be made available for
p .rposes of redemption.
The price of commodiites and silver, he
said, had gone hand in hand for twenty
years. An ounce of silver today would
purchase just as many pounds of 'wheat or
corn as it would when the market price was
$1.29 per ounce. But an ounce of gold would
now buy double the amount of the neces
saries of life that it did twenty years ago.
The fact remained that, eitlu’r gold h id ad
vanced, or :diver had been reduced in val
ue. If, under the conditions that now ex
ist. it became necessary for the United
Sattes to have a singl ■ standard he would
prefer silver to gold. ID hoped that a free
coinage bill would be introduced and pass
ed. He considered sheer nous, use the as
sertion that foreign bullion would deluge
this country in the '-vent of free coinage be
ing established. H did not believe that
there was any considerable amount of sur
plus bullion, but even if it existed, let it
come and be coined.
C'apinlists f an Stand Hard Tinies.
Mr. Denson favored the bill. He said th<»s
financial depression affected only the labor
ing man and industrial classes.
The rich were exempt from the evil ef
fects of hard times. The repeal of the
Sherman act had brought no relief, but the
condition of the poor had steadily grown
worse.
Air. Bland called attention to the fact that
all of the speakers .. 1 a ked permission
to continue their remarks in the record, and
he hoped that no further requests would be
jnu.de.
Culberson for Free Coinage.
Mr. Culberson favored the bill. He favor
ed the free and unlimited coinage of silver
and never expected to see the time when
he would not vote for any proposition
calculated to increase the coinage of sil
ver. He thought that !he Sherman act
should be carried into this act to the extent
of saying that silver certificates shall be
redeemed as now provided for. He believed
that unless certain changes were mad'.' in
the pending bill the secretary of the treas
ury would find it beyond his power to re
deem any Sherman notes until after the
coinage of the seigniorage had been com
pleted.
Mr. Eland stated that he had prepared
an amendment which would obviate the ob
jection made by itlr. Culberson.
At the conclusion of Air. Culberson’s re
marks, Air. Bland askeii unanimous con
sent that general debate shall close at 3
o’clock tomorrow afternoon, but objection
was made, Mr. Warner, of New York, op
posing the bill.
The C’onsjiimcy <»f ’73.
Washington, D. C.,February 13.—[Special.]
Mr. Latimer supported tiie bill. He re
viewed the demonetization legislation of
1813, adduced evidence to prove mat it was
the result of a conspiracy against silver,
and recited the evil consequences mat had
followed its enactment, lie believed tnat
tne secretary ot the treasury had used tne
latitude given him tu discriminate against
Sliver, it tne secretary had used the same
ingenuity to interpret, the laws governing
the seigniorage, us lie had Hie sliiluies
bearing upon tne issuance of bonds, there
have been no necessity for the in
trouuction of the pending bill.
Air. Hendricks said that the impression
prevailing throughout the world was that
the United States had gone out of the busi
ness of giving u fictitious value to depre
ciated money. The demonetization of sil
ver, like an evil genius, was now haunting
the English house of parliament. The sit
uation in Ind.a had reached an acute stage.
The question of silver affected the entire
world and was now awaiting settlement
somewhere, in some way. The whole world
is now in a listening attitude waiting lor
England to do something. Speaking of the
pending bill, Air. Hendricks said that its
features are not new. Every ounce of sil
ver purchased by this government had been
paid for in hard gold dollars —the best
money in the world. The secretary had
heretofore coined seigniorage. He had nev
er come to congress to do what he was au
thorized to do by the Sherman act. But he
had no legal or moral right to take an
imaginary portion of the bullion deposited
in tiie treasury and designate it as seignior
age. The secretary of the treasury had al
ready coined $27,000,000 of silver bullion and
had made a. seigniorage profit of $6,000,000,
which had been coined. Let him continue
to coin seigniorage from time to time in
reasonable amounts, but not select an
imaginary portion of bullion and designate
it as seigniorage. He believed that the sec
retary of the treasury could satisfactorily
handle the financial question at this time.
He believed that tho people of all sections
could trust to his wisdom and discretion and
leave tho matter to his judgment without
the enactment of mandatory instructions.
If a bill was now passed which required the
secretary of the treasury to issue what is
practically fiat money, it would add to the
already great anxiety of the people and
gold would walk out of the treasury at an

Yen, Why Not?
Mr. Simpson referred to the remarks made
by Mr. Walker yesterday in which he said
that the entire financial problem should be
left for the banks to solve. He read Mr.
Walker’s biography to show that he was a
shoemaker, and said if a shoemaker could
discuss the financial question, why not a
farmer? The bankers desired a currrency
which would be a means of money-making
for themselves, while the farmer and labor
ing people needed a currency which would
be the most useful to them and attended
with, the least expense
Mr. Simpson refuted the impression which
he said prevailed in the east that the popu
lists believed fn an irredeemable currency.
He pronounede the whole system of gold re
demption as a makeshift. There had never
been any money but fiat money. He would
limit the issue of flat money to the wants
and needs of the people. He said that there
should be at least enough money to supply
a per capita circulation of S3O.
Mr. Bingham spoke against the bill.which,
he said, was but another step in the move
ment to establish a silver currency.
Mr. Boatner favored the bill, which, he
said, simply authorized the secretary of the
treasury to use the assets of the govern
ment to pay its obligations.
Loiikii for Another Reid.
Mr. Enloe favored the bill and said its
opponents were not satisfied with the re
peal of the purchasing clause of the Sher
man act, but desired to stop the issue of
money iff u.ny form. He said the oppo
nents of this bill were determined to kill
every industry of this country, except that
of clipping coupons from bonds. He believ
ed that as soon as the money realized
from the sale of bonds had become ex
hausted, the banks of New York would
again raid the treasury and compel repeat
ed issues of bonds. Ho had talked with a
gentleman who said that if the pending bill
passed not. another bond could bo placed
in New York. If the credit of the govern
ment was at the mercy of Wall street, it
should be’allowed to go by default. The
effort to establish a plutocracy would fall.
The day when the south could be terrorized,
either by bayonets or financial threats,
had passed. Tiie people would take care
of themselves. It is the duty of congress
to take away from Ihe secretary ot, the
treasury* his discretionary power. There
had been too much abuse of such power.
He believed that the people would nomi
nate a. candidate upon this national ticket
who would, afti r the election, carry out
their wishes and protect their interest.
Mr. Hall spoke against the bill.
Mr. Goodnight imule a legal argument
neninst the power of the socrc-mry of the
treasury to use money derived irom the
sal -of bonds for any other purpose than
that of re lei-ming legal tend<-r notes. He
favored the coinage of both seigniorage and
boHiin.
Judge Culberson showed in a succinct
manner that as long as there was out
standing one silver certificate, which, when
redeemed, according to the law, should be
reissued, the treasury could be drained of
Its gold and a bond issue forced upon the
government at regular stated intervals. He.
said the system now in vogue made an end
less chain by which the reserve could at
all times be dragged from the vaults.
’-.*•. .1 • Opposed io ( >••*, I'M*.*! *-'•*
Mr. Warner put himself into a machine,
which turned him out a free coinage advo
cate, pure an*l simple. He is bitterly op
posed to allowing one ounce of bullion to
remain in the treasury and as equally op
posed to the issuance of a single silver or
gold certificate. He concluded by declar
ing that the only l-<ical outcome of the
financial policy of this country was to ad
mit the free coinage of gold and silver,
put them in circulation and let them float
at their own value, leaving the banks to
take care of the paper currency.
i <,i' f'.viTj Ounce. Bland.
The debate wound up with Air. Bland
proposing an amendment, which he will
offer as soon as the live-minute rule id
adopted. He is willing, lie says, to allow
the secretary of the treasury to redeem the
silver certificates in gold or silver, but
when redeemed tiie silver certificate must L-e
retired and instead of the government issu
ing another silver certificate in its place
it shall issue a silver dollar and destroy the
reedemed paper. This law shall be in oper
ation until the present seigniorage, $.i:..0;2'.-
000, shall be coined. This is a great step
and it seems to be the sentiment of the
house that this amendment or this substi
tute will be adopted.

THE NEWS IN ATLANTA.
General Rejoicing Over the Rejection
of Peckham’s Nomina.il ion.
When the news came that Peckham had
been turned down—that his picture had been
turned to the wall as it were—there w. r s
general rejoicing all over ths city.
It is no exaggeration to say that there
has not been so great interest felt in any
one single event during the pi esent admin
istration as was felt in the fight over the
Peckham confirmation. And it is a notable
fact that a vast majority of the peoph- have
hoped that the senate would reject him.
Hence the rejoicing.
During the morning the telephone wires
in the newspaper offices were kept hot with
inquiries concerning the fight before the
senate. It was late, of course, when the
senate went into executive session and it
was, therefore, late when the news came
of his rejection. A few minutes before 3
o’clock a private dispatch told of the vote
and its result. The news was quickly trans
mitted to the hundreds of inquirers and on
the streets and in the hotel corridors noth
ing else was talked of.
During the morning it was almost an
impossibility to find a man who favored
Peckham’s confirmation, (t seemed as if
all Atlanta was against him and a great
many telegrams were sent to Senator Col
quitt and Senator Hill and others urging
his defeat. Never Indeed aid an event ot
this kirirl interest so many people and
never was the interest so general, so mark

COINAGE OF THE SEIGNORAGE.
Bland's Latest Bill Is the Outcome .of
Two Decisions l>y Secretaries.
Washington, February 12.—(Special Cor
respondence.)—The latest Bland bill, now
under discussion in the house of representa
tives, is the outcome of the decision, first by
Secretary Foster, next by Secretary Car
lisle, that the coin notes issued under the
Sherman act are to be redeemed in gold
uni:.-, in spite of section 2 of the act itself,
which declares that these notes “- hall be.
red* emable, on demand, in coin. ’ It it had
been intimated while that law was under
d ion in congress in the summer of
1830 that any administration would hold
these coin notes to be gold notes, that law
would never have adorned the statutes.
Coin notes, or instead ot gull
or silver certificates was a- favorable idea ot
that great democrat and stanch friend of
silver. Senator James B. Beck, ot Kentucky.
He introduced a b' . in tiie fiftieth congress
and made an able and interesting speech
upon it, but neither b • nor any friend of the
measure supposed . any secretary of the
treasury, least of ..,1 such a democrat as
John G. Carlisle then was, would ever treat
such coin notes as gold notes by surrender
ing the government’s option and refusing to
coin silver dollars with which to pay these
obligations.
But we have now an administration
which, in financial matters, is a law unto
itself, and which can only be controlled, if
controlled at all, by positive congressional
enactments which it cannot evade—hence
the present bill.
As the coining price of silver is $1.29.29 an
ounce and the inirchases of silver were
made at a considerably less price an ounce,
there would be now in the treasury, after
coining enough silver dollars to redeem the
coin notes, a very considerable amount of
silver bullion. This bullion is the gain, or
seigniorage, of the government, and will
coin into $55,156,681. The first section of the
Bland bill directs the coinage of the same
as fast as possible and the issue of silver
certificates to the full amount to be redeem
able in silver dollars only. This sum will be
an addition to the currency and will be im
mediately available for the payment of pub
lic dues.
The second section, however, is much
more important. The so-called gold reserve
of $100,1’00,000, which exists, not through leg
islation. but Se cretary John Sherman’s man
date only, was set aside for the redemption
of the greenbacks amounting to $316,000,000.
For fifteen j ears after the resumption of
specie payments in January, 1879, the drain
on this fund to redeem greenbacks was
scarcely $10,000,000. Since the issue of the
coin notes i t August, 1890, and the decision
•of the treasury department that they are
payable in gold only, more gold lias been
drawn from the treasury with these notes
than ever was taken from it with green
backs. As these notes, as well as the green
backs. are re-lssued as soon as redeemed, it
is obvious that a dollar note might in time
draw out $lO in scold, and that SI.tW.OW might

Bland ae is pr< iposed ' ‘ said,
when asked if holders of < c uld
not make a run on the treasury for gold
under his bill: “Th i, do 1 at now.
The only di Terence is that under this bill,
when they have on •• madi the run and got
the gold, that will be the end of it. They
cannot make the run over again.”
The second section, therefore, provides
that all the silver bu outside thi seign
iorage shall be coined and that whenever a
coin note is red< re silver
dollars in the treasury to represent it, that
note shall be cancelled and the dollar or a
silver certificate be issued in its place. The
effect of this legislation will be in time to
retire all the coin notes issued under the
Sherman law and substitute silver certifi
cates, redeemable, like all the sliver certifi
es tes now outstanding, in silver dollars
o ily. This will relieve the gold reserve of
the double duty of standing sponsor for both
greenbacks and coin notes, it being there
after a fund, as it was originally, for the
redemption solely of greenbacks.
The administration is opposed to this sec
tion, if not both sections of the bill, and it
may be vetoed, even if it passes both houses.
Filibustering was resorted to against its
consideration by gold democrats and re
publicans. It was sent to a committee of
the whole by an affirmative vote of 175, of
whom 140 were democrats, 24 republican#
and 11 (al!) populists.
It is worth noting that of the fifty demo
crats north of Virginia and east of Ohio,
only six voted to go into committee, tha
other forty-four being absent or acting with,
the filibusters. HENRY JONES.
