2 SETTLE’S SILVER BILL IT WILL PKOVIUF FOR COINING ONLY THE AMFR'CAIV PRODUCT. WITH A DUTY ON IMPORTED METAL It Will Also Provide That Hall the Cos tom Duties be Paid In Cold—Does This Embody Speaker Reed’s Vlews on the Silver Question ? -lt is an Open Secret That the Voting North Carolina Congressman is the Speak er’s Pet— he Supreme Court. WASHINGTON. Deo. I<>. (S(»eoial.) t’onjjreas tuljourueii I luirsilnx not to meet any more until Motulay. It just stopjHMl to think. When it gets through thinking-, it will tx-gm to make laws again. While tteither House nor Senate are. therefore, formally in session, yet one looking- upon the lxul\ from the gal lerics would think the\ wetv. lor the House of Represented Hes when it is transacting teus-.noss appears to the lay eve only like a murmuring mass of men moving nl'ont anil doing' all kinds of aimless looking thing's, with a man over in a far part id tin' House male iig gestures to won Is that nobody hears That is the speech that comes home. All s'iekh paragraphed, spelled and punctuated, with "applause brackets here and then'. Vlxvnt half of the House loaf about the seat-* even during this interim. 1 saw Tom Settle in his seat to-day chatting with Hailey of Texas, and got to talking with him later. He refuses to have any suspicion aroused that he is weakening on his anti-fusion theory in the matter of an electoral ticket. On the contrary, he proclaims himself to he stiffer than ever in his views. Moreover, he says his crowd is gain ing every day in North Carolina, that even the Populist executive committee has refused to endorse Pritchard's position. Now it comes to pass lhat Settle is presumably opposing this electoral ticket, on the ground that if the Republicans are thus nauseatingly mingled with tin* Populists in National matters, the principles of the <l. <>. P. will suffer. I asked Mr. Settle was not the theory of the rank ami file of Re publicans and Populists merely to beat the Democrats; in other words, was it not the Republican theory that it were lietter to have even five Republican electors than eleven Democratic elec tors. Mr. Settle sneezed off - this sug gestion as if it were a bird's nest of last year, two years ago. insisting that it was the principle of the tiling. 'The Republicans and Populists were in no wise akin on national issues. In view of all these things, it may 1-e pertinent to note an intention ex pressed by Mr. Settle this morning. He said he would at an early day intro duce a bill for the “coining of the American product." He said this was the issue he made his eanvu.ss oil. His bill will provide that half of tin- cus toms duties shall he paid in gold, and that an import duty shall be imposed upon silver from abroad equal to the difference lietween the coinage value and the commercial value of our coined product. Thus it would seem that Mr. Settle would force an inter-national agreement by the laying on of a duty. Not to go any deeper into the subject, it will take a merry set of accountants to calculate the fluctuating difference from day to day between coinage and commercial value of silver in this question. If we may say inferentially that Mr. Settle takes his stand on anti electoral fusion by the acquiescence of his candidate, Mr. Reed, may it not, also, infierentiaHy be said that the pro visions of his bill, idso. meet with Mr. Reed’s approval? It is true that this bill is a smooth-sounding circumven tion of the single gold standard, and Instead of meaning free silver, means really only the attitude occupied by Senator Sherman. When the bill is in troduced, it may be well to analyze it., so as to show free silver platforms in North Carolina don’t mean free silver bills in Washington. It is openly said that Mr. Settle is r» pet of Mr. Reed's, and it is easy to see how he may attract a man even of so much prominence as the Speaker. Certainly he is a rather picturesque figure in the House, and is popular on both sides. But his house needs a good spring-cleaning before he can get in fret* silver order, as Tar Heels under stand the term. In other words, does the Fifth District believe that the country will be saved by Mr. Settle’s bill? At any rate that, will be his con tribution toward its salvation. The only thing formally at work about the Capital, except of course, the clerical force, is the Supreme Court. The chamber is comparatively small and is shaped .just like a half moon. The Judges sit on the diame ter-line of tin* moon and the spectators sit around the edges of the moon. The lawyers stand between the spectators and tie* Judges. These Judges are great men. and are watched as if they were freaks. One would think that when a man had grown big enough to ]>e a United States Supreme Court Judge be would not wiggle. But tin whole bench seem to be doing some thing all the time. Somebody on the row is on the move pretty nearly con stantly. 'The Chief Justice spends much time propping up his moustache with bis index- finger. The intellect ual fad of .Justice Field is to nod at the attorney addressing the Court, approv ingly. This gives the speaker a spurt and does nobody any harm. Justice Field sits in an old-fashioned cone barked rocker, with a head-pad at the top, the only rocker in the row. The rest of the chairs are alike, with the exception of the chair of the Chief Justice, and thev are heavy and deep ly upholstered in red leal her. Hut the chair of the Chief Justice is smaller than the rest, and seems to have the seat lialf-soled. so as to lift the Chic! Justice upon a level with the others. It cannot be definitely stated, with t in partition lietween, but it is much to be doubted, if the feet of tin* Chief Justice touch ground when he is once pi tun ply and squarely seated on his high chair. For he is the smallest man on the row, though nature has compensated him wills n! iridnnt hair, which is a lost 1)' im> ato some of the others. vi ;-i-g the studies of the Capital, is Hon. iiomulus. Zigzag Linnev. He seems to have improved in health, if such a thing were possible. The Con gressman’s face wears that same kind ly, cordial look of goes! humor that we see in the full-faced view of the moon in the almanacs. lie is stopping at 02? Massachusetts Avenue, the same place* Congressman Brower used to stay. 1 had a litte talk with him to day, and found hope still springing in his breast. Mr. Liutiey was free to say that he had reason to believe that he would be on the Elections Committee, in fact that he had been recommended by the entire delegations of Kentucky, Tennessee and North Carolina. More over, Mr. IJnney said that he had had reason to believe that lie had no opposition, hut he had recently heard from a distinguished North Carolina politician who had seen Mr. Reed, that Mr. Reed had said to hini(tlie politi cian), that there was one other aspi rant for the place, in the person of Congressman J. \. Walker, of \ ir ginin. There seems, however to have bet*a a sort of tacit understanding that IJnney is to be on tin* committee, and this, together with other things, is mentioned in connection with tin passive attitude of tin* Populists in connection with the Republican reor ganization of the Senate. But. Mr. Settle gave me as a reason for this "passive attitude,” that the Populists would "keep in the middle of the stream.” that they were not by con stitution of a nature to miseegeuate vviih either Republicans or Democrats. The South has a free silver majority and the Finance Committee will have a majority of silver men. So that if any silver bill is churned up by this committee under the Republican re organization, it will la* the Kepuhli cans who do the churning, while the Populists get tin* butter. There are other things, probably, behind this move which may develop later, and which may make interesting reading. Suffice it to say that a paper here stated yesterday that Senator Butler was counted as a Republican, for the purposes of committees. In this con nect ion it is going to be interest ng to note the process toward “free sil ver” legislation taken by the Populists under the shadow of Republican gold bug reorganization. The people will do well to watch the bills and see if they contemplate free silver as they understood it during the campaign, j The truth seems to be that free silver does not seem to be as strong in “Con gres” as it is among “constituents.” The Ejections Committee spoken of above is going to have plenty of work to do and it has, therefore, been sug gested that Speaker Reed will appoint, two committees of say 13 each, the size of the old committee. The average number of contested election cases that have thus far come before each session of Congress has been from 12 to 15, while this session there are 32 cases to be disposed of. Os these, there are three cases from North Carolina, namely, Cheatham vs. Woodard; Thompson vs. Shaw, and Martin vs. lxK-khart. It is said that Speaker Reed stated within the last few days to Major Blank, of the Interior Depart ment, that there ought to be a judicial determination of each case, and that he (Reed) didn’t want anybody seated unless he was elected.

Gentlemen:—Having seen Mexican flustang Lini ment extensively advertised here Induces me to tell you how useful it is to persons in the livery business I have used it for the past 18 years on my horses for almost every tiling that horses are subject to. For sprains and stiff Joints 1 do not think it has an equal, and for such things as harness galls and rubs it is wonderful. I once had a very fine driver who was thrown from his car riage in a runaway and so severely bruised about his shout ders and breast that 1 did not think he would ever be able to get on a carriage again. I remembered, however, what Mexican Mustang Liniment did for i«y horses in case 1 bruises and had him use it constantly, and in about two weeks he was as good a driver as ever, and not an ache (iain remained. 1 know you must get tired of receiving such letters, but 1 thought I would add one more testimonial to the tu* ness of Mustang Linbuent.
