Littli Rock, Ark., Jan. 8.—The city pastors recently passed resolutions condemning Governor Fishback’s views in regard to the relation of the sexual evil. The governor has addressed a lengthy reply to the ministers in which he says: "The intelligent, sensible people who are at all observant of passing events will tell you that the chief obstacles in the way of religious an l moral progress have been hypocrisy and folly. A few men who arrogate to themselves leadership in religious and moral reforms are constantly bringing both into coi iempt either through hypocrisy or blind, fanatical, uiinJasouiug lolly.

The view of Mr. Bland and his associates led many members to believe that tho reverses of yesterday might yet he turned into victory by making concessions to the silver men. Their votes would be much more than sufficient to c;uTy the rule and the bill. It would be such a radical stop, however, in bringing silver into the question that the conservative men do not regard the plan as feasible. It was, however, the main topic of prospective action. On tho Republican side the opinion was general that the defeat of the rule ended all chance of currency legislation in this

SENATE FINANCE COMMITTEE.
Ad vein* Vot« on the Currency Bill In the
I!ou*e Will Prompt It to Act.
Washington, Jan. 10.—Many of the Democratic senators received the announcement of the adverse vote on the currency bill as a summons to the senate to take the question up and find a way out of the difficulty with which the country finds itself confronted. Senator Voorhees took the first step for the formal consideration of the matter by issuing a call for a meeting of the finance committee to be held this afternoon. This meeting is for the purpose of canvassing the entire situation and if possible devising means of improving
y the condition of the treasury.
So far as can he learned no measure has been prepared for submission to the committee, bat the movers for the meeting hope that the general exchange of views on the part of members of the committee will indicate general lines upon iiieh n bill may he framed which would stand a chance of receiving the approval of tho committee and of the senate.

Bribe to Reduce Astietiftmerits* Chicago, Jan. 10.—Through the efforts of the civic federation three men, who seem to be familiar with the workings of the West town assessor’s office, have been arrested for attempted bribery. It is alleged that they called upon W. H. Durant, a grocer on the West side, and for a consideration of $15 offered to have his assessment reduced. They declared that Assessor Hoffman of the West town was working in conjunction with them and that they divided with him the money they received. Assessor Hoffman d( nies all knowledge of the men or their attempted bribe. The officers of the federation expect to make some sensational developments when the men come up ior a hearing today.

The two principal features of the plan are: First, to authorize the issuance of a sufficient number of low rate bonds to retire the $34(1,000,000 worth of greenbacks, and second, to provide for the purchase and coinage of a sufficient i quantity of silver to increase the silver issuance to $750,000,000, which would be an increase of about $150,000,000. This is suggested as a compromise upon which the bond adv«x'ot(<s and the silver men can agree, but the scheme has not met with general favor so far as it has
