GREENBACKS, GOLD AND SILVER.
Another Day of Debate on the
Carreney Bill.
Cockran Conspicuous in His Oppo
litiou.'
Sharp and Bxcltlns; Parries Between Ihe
Debate™— Why Oat*hina ; e fkftri
Carlisle's Flan.
By The Herald's Leased Wirev.
Washington, Jan. 6. —Another day in
the house was consumed t y debate over
the Carlisle currency plan, in which
Representative Cookran of New York
was the most conspicuous figure.
Mr. Cockran held the floor for more than
an hour, and spoke with bis accustomed
vigor and eloquence, provoking many
questions from the opposition and hold
ing the attention of the members and
the galleries throughout He opposed
the bill and deolared himself in favor of
the Baltimore plan.
Mr. Lacey, Republican of lowa, also
spoke in opposition, while Mr. Boatner,
Democrat of Louisiana, and Mr. Catch
inns, Democrat of Mississippi, exhorted
the party to nnite in support of the
aaeasure.
In the course of Boutner's speech
Biaind .put several questions to show
that the administration bad adopted a
gold policy, and finally declared that its
financial policy was a fraud. Boatner
asked if Bland bad not been a supporter
•f President Cleveland in tbe last cam
paign, whereupon Bland responded that
he had supported the platform and bad
- voted Jor tbe candidates, and the party
had gone down in ignominious defeat
for its treachery and frand.
Pence brought np Secretary Carlisle's
advooaoy of silver while a member of
the boose in supporting Mathews'
resolution, and asked if soon after ac
' eeptinc tie treasury portfolio ha bad
not announced his intention of paying
setae of tbe government obligations in
silver and had not been ''called down.
Boatner replied that it was useless to
revive free silver as a factor of the cur
rency question.
Blsnd retorted: "You can't ran the
Democratic party on Republican lines,
and no mugwump can change its
polley."
Boatner eontinnsd that it was the
mistake of tha century when the ad
ministration failed to pay obligations in
silver aa well as gold.
"We should ao longer keep ourselves
on exhibition," Boatner ooncluded, "aa
enable to agree on a single msaeure
that promisee relief to tbe people."
FOLIBOIL ROCKS AHEAD.
I.acey, Repablioan, of lowa, followed
ia opposition to the bill. There was the
usual filling of aeata when Cockran rote
in tha first aisle of tha Democratic side.
He daplored tbe tendency to treat the
ateaenre as a party one, which was likely
to wreck it on the rocks of political ex
pediency. The vote of confidence in the
Democratic pasty in 1892 bad been re
verted, he said, aad ha did not think tbe
constitutional provision which allowed
the party to retain power until March
was granted for passing party acts. An
egitataon wlthent results which would
ruffle restored business tranquillity had
better be dropped. If this house suc
ceeds in establishing a monetary system
based on human reason and experience
of expertsjitsliast daya will not be without
profit or devoid of honor. There were,
in hie opinion, questions on which leg
islators eoald divide along party lines
with advantage, bat this was not one of
them. He aaid there were many ques
tions on which mankind had differed
from the beginning of civilization, and
the questions connected with the
finances and political economy were
among those over which there had
been much dispute. Nevertheless, he
continued, the laws controlling these
questions were immntable, and to obey
tbem was to bring blessings, the ignore
them, tbe reverse. We can, he de.
alared, no more affect the economic
laws by onr legislation than we can by
the same means affect the>lawe govern
ing the nations.
THE CRIME OF 'SEVENTY THREE.
He asked that the question now at is
sue ba considered on tbe basis of econ
omic laws. He thought he saw evi
dence that the judgment of tbe genera
tion has been warned by the eu-perabun
dance of talk on the "crime of 187;! when
silver was demonetized, which had in
volved the use of a host of employes and
much mystery, but had been brought
but very little practical good to tbe peo
ple generally. The tendenoy to treat
political economy as a mysterious
science has enabled men to pcse as
statesmen who, if they talked common
■ sense, would have been discovered,
bnt were able to confuse the peo
ple by shouting platitudinous
nonsense. Ancient astrology was no
more absurd than tbe double standard,
but when we reflected that this genera
tion bad allowed its daily affaire to be
affected by the nonsense of impostere,
our charity toward the ancients broad
ened and our sympathy was touohed by
tbe sight of our own people listening to
men who said that tbe payment of
wages in a bad dollar was better than
in a good dollar, and that taxation was
the handmaid of prosperity.
PROSPERITY CANNOT BE FORGED.
When Mr. Oockran alluded sarcastic
ally to the free silver fight of Messrs.
Bland and Gray, and what he termed
tbe change ol attitude of Mr. Boatner,
who wae about to retire to the calmer
field! of jurisprudence, Mr. Bland inter
rupted with a question regarding Mr.
Cockran'a prediction that the repeal of
the purchasing clause of the Sherman
act wonld revjtore prosperity, and Mr.
Cockran challenged him to prodnde a
word of bis to tbat effect.
"I am not one," Mr. Cockran resumed,
"who pretends that prosperity can be
forged iii this chamber or by tbe law of
tbe land. I believe all tbe law and gos
pel on the subject of political economy
wae revealed to tbe first man when a
just God told him tbat 'By the sweat of
hie brow he must earn his bread.'
"Prosperity wae in tbe earth and
charlatans who said they had it in their
clothes or their brains andwho bad onred
the country for 25 years, it was my chief
object to oppeae." Taking up tbe bank
ing and currency bill, he spoke briefly
of the claims of the committee that it
would promote the ends of trade.
He claimed that instead of promoting
it would prevent, forbid and obstruct the
very thing It waa hoped it would aooom
plieb. For local and domestic pnrposes,
Mr Cookran said he would not be afraid
of eilver as a standard ef value, but his
objection to it waa based on the fact that
throughout the world everything ia
measured by gold and, even if we had a
national or local atandard, the products
of toe farmer ana olker nroa.eere must
ultimately, after all, be measured by the
universal standard.
Mr. Hutchiuson, Democrat of Texas,
inquired if the notes of a batik were
based upon tbe notes of a farmer where
in it was better than tbe farmer's note
and Mr. Cockran replied because com
merce would accept it. The band of
government bad been disastrous to com
merce and he was appealing to tbe house
to turn back to sound principles where
money was baaed on property. All that
banking meant was to increase the cap
ital that could be used in commerce.
A PROPERTY BASIS.
"I amoppposed to any tax on curren
cy," he replied to a question concern
ing tbe 10 per coot on state bank issues.
"It is like taxing blood, taxing the speed
of a locomotive. It would be to tax
everything valuable, to retard progress.
As to tbe pending bill, so far as it pro
vided that money should be based
on property it was sound, but its
provisions would nullify its object. If
it became a law it would fall mi.thorn,
not one note would be issued under 20
years. It would be a monument to the
folly of the congress which followed the
Sherman ttjt by another makeshift.
While tbe greenback had its usee and
the greeubacker was unjustly charac
terized as a crank, tbeee billa had
eerved their proper functions and
should be taken out of our currency
system."
There was a sharp and amusing ex
change of words between Mr. Cookran
and Mr. Boutelle, Republican of Maine,
ac the former epoke of the MclCinley
law and a defective financial system ac
the cause of the panic last year. Mr.
Cockran's reference to the McKinley
law was greeted with derisive laughter
on the Republican side. Mr. Boutelle
remarked that at the last election the
people did not endorse tbe views of Mr.
Cockran as to the McKinley law.
"I have my own viewß," said Mr.
Cockran, "ac to the results of last elec
tion. Ido not think the Democratic
party was in that canvass."
la reply to a question, Mr. Cockran
aaid he favored the Baltimore plan in
its entirety,
Mr. Henderson, Republican, of Illi
nois, asked if tbe pressing question was
not bow to pay tbe running expenses of
the government.
"That ie the question but not all tbe
queetion. It is a very seriouß position
which makes any trade dependent on
the solvency of the treasury and what
I am seeking is a system that will
divorce commerce from the govern
ment." In closing Mr. Cockran drew a
picture of the advancement of busi
ness, industry, science and the arts un
der a regime in which the money of the
people was placed on a sound basis.
THE PURPOSE OF THE BILL
Mr. Cstchings said tbe upshot of Mr.
Cockran'e epeecb was to adopt the Balti
more plan and thus turn his back on tbe
treasury, leaving it to take oareof itself.
The purpose of tne bill was to provide
tbe people with a more abundant and
elastic currency and to relieve the treas
ury by retiring the large proportion of
outstanding greenbacks. In dis
oassing the probable effect
of tbe Carlisle bill, Mr. Catchioga said
tbe outstanding certificates would be
changed for those of smaller denomina
tions to satisfy tbe needs for small
money. It would follow that the bullion
in the treasury would be coined and a
smaller percentage of customß duties
paid in silver. The key to the po
sition was that under the Balti
more plan the government would be
made to stand sponsor for the notes of
tbe bank while it would not be under
the pending bill. The superiority of the
Carlisle plan over the Baltimore plan
was that it contemplated ultimate re
tirement notes, while the latter bad no
object but tbe profit of its framers.
Mr.Catchings spoke in support of the
soundness of state banks.
At the close of Catchings' speech the
house voted not to concur in the senate
amendments to the military appropria
tion bill, and then, at 5:20 o'clock, ad
journed.

Sibsons, Cal., Jan. 5. —Today's north*

Woodland, Jan. 5. —The storm that
commenced on Tburaday and which
continued for 24 boura wae one of the
heaviest that ever viaited this .section,
and the rainfall for the storm rangea
from four to aiz inches. The creeks
broke over their banks and did consid
erable damage, moatly to railroad prop
erty. The tracks are washed ont in
many places. The train from Oroville
was signalled at Merrit's station and or

ceeded very far when it was noticed
that the tracks were eliding and the
water waa getting deeper and deeper
and finally tbe train had to be atopped.
The passengers started through tbe
rapidly rising waters to high ground a
quarter of a mile distant. A
farmer who had heard their criea
braved the etorm and came to
their rescue, and after much difficulty
got tbe paaßengera to his house and
made them comfortable. The railroad
sent out row boats from Davisville, and
a few passengers went to that town for
the night. It is believed that two
tramps who were on the train were
drowned.

cent storm was one of the worst this

Makes a Statement.
Some Strictures on the Woman's
Relatives.
He Will Petition the San Franoleoo Court
to Appoint Tom Williams aa
Guardian.
By Tiik Hiuai.d'B Leased Wire.
St. Louis, Jan. 5. —Porter Ashe, the
famous California horseman who is in
this city with his stable of raoers, epent
all day preparing a lengthy statement in
answer to the charges recently made
against him before the superior court in
San Francisco by T. H. Williams backed
by a statement of Morgan Hill alleging
the mismanagement of tbe estate of
Sarah Althea Terry, whose guardian
be is.
Mr. Ashe denies tbat be wasted or
mismanaged Mrs. Terry's estate or sold
personal property belonging thereto and
converted tbe proceed* to his own per
sonal uses or violated his oath under the
laws of California or neglected to take
care of his ward and provide her with
the necessaries of life and proper medical
attendance. The salient features of Mr.
Ashe's statement are as follows:
"To recall to public notice Borne of
the incidents which led to Mrs. Terry'e
unfortunate mental condition is like
stabbing tbe dead. I had hoped that
tbe last act in her dramatic career had
ended, but this man Williams has raised
her from her legal grave, and at
tempted, with tbe aid of her brother, to
vent his vengeful spite. His unwar

assurance from the governor of Kentucky and
from the judge of tho trial court that Hamp
ton would be protected from violence and that
he would be given a fair trial.
The court said no such assurance had bees
received. Ho found both the Indictment and
tho requisition defective in form, but ilie
broader ground of securing the rights of prli.
oners, the court held that he was justiliod in
refuting to surrender Hampton. TftV
presumption that he would die
Without legal process if sent back
had not been rebutted by proof of miy kind.
The court cited ■tatittica oi 10 lynching! in
Kentucky within a comparatively short time
and recalled the fact that one of'the victiiai
had been surrendered by the court.
The court felt the obligation to perform a
mitral duty in this case which could not be
enforced by-mandamus or other proceeding!.
He was willing to remand the prisoner upon
proper Indictment! and requisition, if t.ie gov
ernor or other auLhoritu-s had provided for a
force to protect him from violence and Insure
