The Republican Congressional Committee has just organized with Chairman Babcock, who made such a splendid record in former campaigns, again at its head. The control of the jjext House of Representatives and friends of sound money generally isespeeially important. The Republicans have good reason to expect to control the Senate in the next Congress, and if they elect a majority of the House of Representatives it will give them an opportunity in the last half of President Mckinley’s administration to enact satisfactory legislation upon the currency question, a task which will bo a difficult, if not impossible, one in the present Congress by reason of the control which the silver element has in the Senate. Chairman Babcock will doubtless expect and have the cordial co-opera-tion not only of every Republican but ever? friend of sound-money irrespective of former party assoeitions. Many of the intelligent men who two years ago espoused warmly the cause of free coinage at 10 to 1 are now admitting frankly that the plan is no longer ft practical one and that it ought to be abandoned. When such men as ex-Goverhor Boies of lowa, Wharton Barker of Philadelphia, and others who are considered among the most intelligent and influential leaders of the free-coinage movement of two years ago admit, as they now do, that the plan is no longer feasible, it will lie seen that those who voted against it in 1896 were entirely justified and will be more than justified in repeating that action in 1898. Ex-Governor Boies, who months jgoannounced his conclusion that the 16-to-l proposition was no longer tenable is urging a plan for the utilization of silver by depositing it with the Treasury and Issuing for it certificates based upon its market value at the date of its presentation ftt the Treasury, the certificates to be redeemable at the same value. He also proposes that the Troasuxy shall hold silver and gold bullion in like quantities at thoir market value sufficient to equal 25 per cent., of the face value of all Government notes outstanding. While it is scacrely expected that Mr. Boises’ proposition will be looked upon na feasable, it is interesting in showthe rapid disintegration of the 16-to-l movement among the most intelligent of those who supported it two years ago. President McKinley’s firm attitude in regard to the Kansas Pacific Railroad is likely to be ns advantageous to the Government proportionately as was Ins action in the Union Pacific matter. By rejecting the proposition of the reorganization committee in the

Union Pacific matter and insisting! upon full payment of principal and interest, he saved to the Government $13,311,000 in excess of what a former-administration had indicated a willingness to accept, obtaining full payment of principal and interest. A part of the Kansas Pacific which extends westward from Kansas City is covered by a second mortgage held by the Government amounting to $6,303,000 principal and accumulated interest amounting to $6,598,000 An offer of $2,500,000 for full payment of this claim was made, but President McKinley, unwilling to see such a sacrific of Government interests, despite the constant assertions that the pofUon of the Kansas, Pacific covered* by the Government muJtgage was of no greater value than the first mortgage which the Government must assume in foreclosing its own lien, ordered steps taken in the direction of foreclosure. The result of this has alreadp been an offer of settlement by payment of the full amount of principal of the Government claim, instead of onethird of it, as was originally proposed.
