Arizona Republican VOTj. I. PHOENIX, SATURDAY MORNING, MAY 24-, 1890. NO, 6 The THE DAY IN Senator Stanford Discusses His Loan Bill. An Able and Convincing Argument.

Tlio House Still With the JJiver and Harbor Kill Scheme to Build up Chicago. I). May In the Sonnte to-day the tariff bill was received and referred to the committee on finance. Consideration of tho Naval Appropriation bill was resumed and continued until 2 o'clock, when the silver bill was taken up. The naval 111 went over.

This, however, in a few minutes was laid aside to allow Senator Stanford to address the Senate on his bill providing fur loans by the Government on agricultural loans, lie said: "Wo can all well understand tho great advantages to the people at this time of the loan made to tho National banks by tho Government of IK) per cent tion its own securities. One hundred thousand dollars of Government bonds at -I per cent, only produce $1000, which, when its value becomes energized to the extent of DO per cent (which the Government advances), its jiosver is increased to 00 percent. Its activity mayin course of the year double its value "and pass from hand to hand manv times, stimulating the various industries of the country. So, too, this bill will have a corresponding energizing effect. Tho money i.ued under it is not intended to accommodate farmers alone, but as it comes into circulation it will put the means of prosperity within the reach of those who are engaged in tho smaller nnd larger industries of the country.

This money when if-sued by the government becomes automatic. It will contract when there is less use for it, and expand when there is greater demand. Thus disntrous contraction will ceaso to 1k possible. lie agreed that the rate of interest propocd, two per cent, is fixed for good reasons. No farmer will borrow unless he needs more, and when lie ceases to have use for it will return it.

Hut this will seldom occur, for money borrowed of tho government at 2 per cent, readily finds uso at higher rates in other interests, and thus the fanner will bo benefited. Six percent, interest is a burden that the farmer cauiiot bear, while owing to activities of business the merchant finds it a reaon-a'le rate to pay. The value of money i'cs in its activities. This plan of loaning money upon land at 2 per cent, with the privilege to the liorrosver of returning when he has no use for it creates a moneyed system that will meet financial expansion and contraction, as they may occur, without inconvenience to iin'v one. I'mler its provisions the real estat'e oi the country, being so vast, there will ways be a jtossibimy of obtaining the money necessary to carry on the enter-prists of the country, and when there is no further use for money the liorrosver Mop paying interest mid takes up tho mortgage ujion his farm." In conclusion tho Senator said: "Tho lull, while not perfect, provides fairly well for the machinery to carry out it's d.

'-igns. If adopted, with such amendments as shall seem wise to Congress, it will largely increase tho prosperity the humblest classes of labor nnd as--i-t the wealthier to success in their enterprises. The bill provides for what i perhaps not improperly termed a resolution in finance, and I do not ex-l-t it will be adopted until it lias been iiilly considered by the people and met with their approval.

ON Till Ho Say Surely tcrday. tho Player Doomed Tho League I Game Yes- Ciiicago, May 23. President Spauld-ing of the Chicago League club, expressed himself on the base ball situation again today to a local paper. He dwelt on the poor attendance at the games so far, and sees no salvation for base ball except the withdrawal of all of the Player's Lcaguo teams from tho field. The League, lie says, is gojng to stick to tho fight uncompromisingly and without quarter.

If the Player's League lasts that 'the average" a League game so far exceeds that at thoso of tho Brotherhood. He predicts that if it should rain at tho base ball points on Decoration day the Player's Lcaguo svill have hard work pulling through June. Ho figures that tho monicd men who went into tho scheme without knowing what they were backing will have had enough of the sport io last them for life unless they recover some losses on Decoration Day. Should it not rain on that day, Spaulding thinks that a storm on the 4th of July won Id lie disastrous. Should it rain on either day and the attendance remain as at present, lie predicts that the Player's League will never open a second season.

KEM.MLKlt MUST DIE. Will Have to Suhmit to Death by Electricity. Washington, May 23. Tho United States Supreme Court denied Jthc application for a writ of error in the case of Kemmler, now under sentence of death by electricity. The Court held that tho change in the form of inflicting the death penalty ss-as within the legitimate sphere of the legislative posv.er of a State Legislature.

The State of Nesv York determined that it did not inflict a cruel or unusual punishment nnd its courts have sustained that determination. "This Court cannot see that a person lias been deprived )f due process of lasv in order to reverse the judgment. The Court should be compelled to hold that the Nesv York Court of Appeals had committed error so gross as to deprive theprisoncrof some constitutional right, and the Court lias no hesitation in saying that it cannot do thia in the present case." The case svill next come up before the United States Circuit court, Judge Wallace, svho made an order to operate as a stay until the Supreme court could pass upon the questions involved. This order svas issued svith the understanding tiint counsel would immediately apply to the Supreme court for a svnt of habeas corpus, their application for which writ svas thrown out, but they s-ent a hearing on application for a svnt of error, and it svas this application which svas to-day denied. It is therefore supposed that Judge Wallace, when the order becomes returnable on the third Monday in June, next, svill vacate it, that being practically the understanding upon ssiiich the order was made.
