Chairman Bland on the Bill, ““The bill introduced by me, aud which the majority of the committeo will tomorrow ovder to be favorably reported,” smd Chair- man Bland to the Associated Press reporter touight, *is different from all other bills - troduced in one particular. It contemplates erting of all our silver money, silver certificates and treasury notes issued oo vullion, and gold cortificates issued on gold, iuto coin notes redeemablo in coin, thus con verting our paver into biwetal paper in- stead of keoping up the distinetion betwee old and silver 1n our paper issues. This conforms to tho iuea of coining both wmetals on an equality, gold aud silver free. The coin notes are redecmable 1u coin, aud, of course, in whatever coin it may be most con- veient for the government to redeem them in. The depositors of gola and silver bullion hoyve the vrivilege of waiting until their bullion is conedand having the coin returned to them, or they may deposit the bullion and receive coin uotes at tho coin value of the bullion deposited. The bullion then vecomes the property of the government and coined as fasf as may bo necessary for the redemption of any noles presented for ro- demption. It obviates tne expense of coin- ing all the bullion at the time it is depos- “I'ne people scem to be desivous,” resumed Chairman Bland, “of using poper mouey 1u- stead of coin itself—to prefcr paper to coin aud for thut reason coinl notes muy be issued and bulliou had for coinage 1o be coined only when necessary for redoeming notes. A man holding a com note will not know whether it is a gold note or a silver note, for if ho de- posits gold bullion or gold coin ho gets a coin uote, and 1f he doposits silver bullion and sil ver coin he gets the same kind of a coin note, It nvolishes the present distiction between our coin notes.""

It is claimed that France ill not resume free coinage now becauso the difference between our ratio of 16 to 1 and the French ratio of 15, to 1 would cause all of our silver to go to the French mint, which would be embarrassing probubly to France to some exteut and very much so to our solves. Wo wish to retain our silver money as well as our gold coin, hence there is u very good reason why our ratio and that of European countries suould be the same, At any rate, ther can bo no pretext on the part of France for refusing longer 1o coin silver freo becauso our ratio is different from hers, Personally, I care but_little for this, but there are’ many peoplo who think we'ought to have & common ratio, and I have no ob- jections to it, and consequentiy am willing to conform to what must be public senti- ment,” *Hayo you your report prepzred to accom- pany this bill, so that it can be presented to the bouso immodiately after the action of the committee tomorrow *My report is nearly ready, and will ready on the followink day at the latest.’ be “The people of this vicinity 1siston hay ing Chamberlain's cough remedy and do not want avy other.’ says John V.

PRICES 0N THE PARK TRACTS | Question of Value of Omaha Outside Realty Very Thoronghly Disoussed, MANY OPINIONS ON THE MATTER Do the Ow City Ask Too the e for Much fr I Exch th What Well Posted M Think of It ors m Land? Resolved. That this meeting is in favor of the lssuc of the bonds for the purchnse of parks and purchase of property therefor, but thit we recommend that the council take duo care to protect the olty’s intorests either in tne purchase of the property recommended or otlier tracts equally wvallable. S0 read the resolution adopted at a largely attended meeting of the Itoal Estate Owners association last evening, but it was at the end of an animated discussion of two hours’ dura tion, The moeting was presided ovor by Presi dent Bougs of the association, and at his ro- quest Judge C. R. Scott stated the reasons for whicn the members had been called to- ether, Judge Scott said that he had a public ofti- cor to arraign who was & member of tho organization, and after denouncing the con- dition of tho pavea streets gavo Mayor Bemis public notico that unless the streets were cleaned up at once and kept clean ho woula badenominatea the *'mud mayor” of Omaha, He declarca that thero was o political guillotine, and officials should bo wado to understand that from_this timo tor- ward all public officers must do their duty from now on to the end of time or their heads would come off with no further warn- ing. i Parks and ¥ The chairman stated that several partios felt intercsted in the question of parks, and that wbile some were a little sensitive on the subjoct and did not think that tho associa- tion shoula take up the matter, he had boon requested to presont it and would take the liverty to do so. He called upon City Attor ney W.J. Connell to speak ou the question Mr. Connell said he did not deny that the locations of the tracts were desirvable, but ne thought the prices asked were exorbitant. Ho was of the opinion that uniess the price was reduced 23 por cent, notning should be done in the park matter for somo time. Ho touched upou the right of eminent domain clause which was stricken from the city charter by the legisiature, as he thought, vidently at the instigation of interested parties. * He also called the attention of the association to the fact that tho present gas chavter would expive January 24, 1503, and ualess it was renowed within tho year the company would bo oceupying the streets with no right whatever Mr. Joseph Barker w. park bonds were logal. M. Connell replicd that they were logally voted and tho mayor ana couucil conld ordor their issuance 1f they deemed it advisable, Protectic Taxpayers, Mr. E. Rosewater said that he had always been 1u favor of parks, and had endeavored for years to get the city charter so framed as to got us mich land ns possible for park purposes with the means at command. Ho thought that he might be some to blame for the mutilations of the charter by the last legislature. Ho be lieved that the taxpayers should ve protected, and worked to securo some changes to that end. Representatives of the gas company, and possivly of the water com- pany, together.with a number of other par. ties working for private interests and against those of the citizers of Omahn, had lubored incessantly with the legislators and the result was a hodge podge of a chartor. He thought the eminent domain clause was droppod accidentally, boing lost sight of in. the general confusion, but he did not think that the amendment of the paving botween the tracks clause in the 1n terest of tho stroet railway company was the rosult of an oversight. Some clauses that passod both houses were left out in the ou- grossed bills. As for tie park matter ho was in favor of waiting a while, if not ivdefluitely. He thougut that soms of the tracts were vriced too hizh and should not be bought, but that others wero ot and might as el 'bo vur- chased at once. He favored tho purchase of the gas plant and its operation by the city. Mr. J. N. Cormsh asked whether the present legislature could be depended on, in tho event of an extra session, to give the city what it deserved in the way of charter amendment., M. Rosewater replied t should %o to Lincoln i the interest of pub- lic measures aly stayed away, whilo those who should stay away were invariably thore, and it was difticult to tell whether or not the city would securo neodod relief if tho usual custom prevail Doctors Who Disagr John A. Horbach declurcu that somo of tho prices that it was proposed to pay for pavks were simply outrageous. It was proposed to pay #00 an acre for land, whon adjacent property just as desirablo and available within the four-mile limitcould be purchased for $230 an acre. This was true of the Par. ker aud £lmwood tracts. The wrounds of the Diving Paric association, adjacent to ouc of the proposed tracts, was bought at 0 an ncre This was disputed by Mr. Hicks, and Mr. Horbach stated (hat Mr. Berlin, the first secretary of the Driving Parlc association, had told him that it cost §250 an acre, and it was 1o be unloaded on stockholders at doubla that figure. Furthermore Mr. Berlin would not deny having said 50 to him. The Davis farm near there went bogging at $200 per acre, vet it was proposed to pay £000 per acre for property in tho next section to the rac . He said that even in 1536 and 1887, the boom was on and land was selling for 25 per cent more than it will today, this land would notsell for #250 an acrecash, He would liko to have the ch, ter amended, but ne hoped there would be no extra session. He belioved 10 spending money where 1t would do some good, and some return could be derived, but not in in- vesting 1t i farm lands at four times a reas onable price. Mr. Wiloy, one of the douors of Elmwoud park as itis today and an owner of a part of tho addition that it is proposed to purchase, said that the Davis tract was two miles away and outside the limit allowed by law. Ho thought it strange that the owners of some of the lund that could be purchased for 50 much less than tne offored prices had not made a bid when bids were requested by tho commissioner: D. C, Patterson maintawed that the prices wero not too high, and cited two or three salos ie support of his position, which called for a fow scontradictions from the other side. Mr. N. A. Kuhn thought that if the rate were a little nigh 1t would be scarcely auy thing per capita. It would burt the city to have the impression get out that the park commissioners advertisea for bigs and could not buy land at & right figure, Mr. Kuhn roasted the material lien law and certain lumber men, who, be said, delivered lumber aud then hauled part of 1t away Again in the uight und charged for tho full amount, All Fuvored Parks. Counctlman John Steel said s & member of the conncil he would sustain the action of the park commissioners Jobn A. Wakefield thought tha commis sioners had done well. He declared that a dog-iu-the-manger stood in the way of the city’s progress, and thot if the real estato men would stand together aud no*. be afraid that somebody eise would make a dollar, the city would be bigger and batter off. . L. Perrino said all the arguments ad vanced had been known before election and nothing was said about them then. Tho price was lower than it would be inthe future. Mr., Counnell said tbat tne trouole with Messrs. Wiley, Parker and Diston was that they were quaking in their shoes for fear the city would not take their properiy, aud re vewed his assertion that they would ve glud w take 60 per cent of the proposed price if hey could not get more. Counellman Spectit said he believed the five park commissioners had more sense than the entive iteal Estate Owners association, and he would stay by thom T. (. Bruner advocated the purchase of the proposed tracts in accordance with the expressod wisi of the peoplo as shown by a round majority. #Voice of the People." Rosewaior said he bad beard » deal wbout the voice of Lbe ntod to know if tho fol at people who Mr. %004, | poople and big majorities, That might mewn something or nothing He know that the spoaker who precedsd him and several more of the real ostate agonts of the city were the very ones who had tam pered with legislators and thwarted the will of the peoplo a few yearsago when they pre vented the very thing that they aro now working 80 earnestly to briug about, and but for which action the city would have enjoyed a continuons boor 1f the price that it was proposed 1o pay was 100 high it was manifestly the duty of the council and mayor to see that tho public money was not thrown away, regardless of the action ot the Park commiissioners. The city could not be boomed by artificial moans A " high price for park tracts would vot sell adioining land At an unreasonable price except to gudgeons. Tho talk that a drop in real estate values would hurt outside was nonsense. Folks ady know about boom towns, Kansas ¥, St. Paul, Minneapolis and Denver as 1l as Omaha, and that a deprossion always follows. He urgea that timo be taken and the scheme not rushed through at unduo speed Finally All Were Phrough. Mr. A, . Tukey couldn’t seo why the Quostion was raiscd. It was a question of values, and bids wero the bost way of getting at the facts, Bids had boen submitted and thoro was nothing to do but go ationd D. J.

Greone said that the question of real estate values conld never bo agreed upon by any two men, and if it was {ntended to wait for that the 'time would nover come. He urged action ana tho carrying out of plans that bad been entored upon. M. Donovan moved that it bo the sonso of the meeting that the bouds be sold and laud bought, including Syndicate park. Aud right there Syndicato park jected to the roughest treatmeht that has been accorded it since it left the hana of natere. It was badly roastes and dropped out of sight as soon us the gladiator all seemed to want a crack at it, would allow it to drop to the floor. Dr. S.'D.
