The Secretary of the Treasury arranged

the most important financial measure Of
the issue of the $500. 900 900 loan. The
first issue will be OF $500. .0O0, 900 on the
l5.h dav Of June next. The no.es 10
form, denomination and interest will be iu
all respects like the present issue OF
1905. They will be unlike them only 10
the period Of time fixed for their converti.
bility. They will have ten months longer
to run than The 1905 before they can be
changed into bearing 5.20s. By =
very large class of investors this difference
will be considered to impsrt greater vsfue
to the new issue. The balance of The
5000, ,00O, 900 will probably be q year
longer 10 maturing than the Jaae issue.
This time will be definitely fixed as the
sales of the June issue approach their end
II may be that the irst $500, ,000, 900 will
meet the necessities of the Government.
1t is expected that this frst issue will be
disposed of in about three months. The
agency of the present 1905, with oil ito
machinery, will be employed for the whole
of the new loan.

One day, in feeding the dogs, I called

We we're 10th to believe the statemen
that Vice President johnson had per
formed his part in the Inauguration cere
monies in . condition Of beastly intoxica
tion, but it seems there is no doubt Of the
fact. And whatever circumstances o
mitigation may be sdducsd, nothing viii
be produced in justification Of SO gross
an outrage.
Andy johnson is one of the most geni'
al, whole-souled men we have ever had
the pleasure of knowing in public life, q
man of noble impulses and fearless devo-
tion to his country and to the right. He
has made his way up from poverty and
obscurity to seat in Congress. to the
chief magistracy of his own State, and
finally to the second Office in the gift of
the people of the United States. His in
tellect must have been unclouded, his
habits good, and his industry and perse-
verance untiring through all the years Of
his early and most of the years of his
public life, or he would long since have
fallen by the way, in the prosecution of
the herculean efforts attending such
achievements. He was long time the
Democratic Senator in Congress from the
State of Tennessee, and during all that
period we never heard whisper of drunk
enness against him. At the outbreak Of
the rebellion be adhered to the cause Of
his country and exhibited the most lofty
patriotism and the most earnest self
ton. and the country is greatly indebted
to him for his efforts and influence in be-
half of the Union cause in it's darkest
hours.
1t is bat recently that intimations have
been bruited abroad that he was addicted
to drinking 10 excess. He has fallen.
But he is man Of sense and of resolution
and it is to be hoped that his fall is not
irretrievable. And whatever may be bis
fate. msy we not hope that the outburss
of indignant condemnation which has
greeted his fall the country over, may ar
rest the footsteps of many of the promi.
nent public men of the land whose habits
are even worse than Johnson's, though
fortune has thus far spared them SO ig-
nomipious an exposure. Let the warning
not be lost on younger men and men Of
40 special influence. who are just begin
ing to indulge in an occasional drink with
friend, or an occasional social spree, for
although they may never reach Johnson's
high position, yet they have entered on
the pathway which leads to similar dis
grace and will eventually overwhelm
them with like contempt in the circle in
which they may chance to move.
Aud now, while one of the political
parties Of the country is exalted to most
unaccustomed state of indignant and tri-
umphant virtue in view of rare example
of intoxication in the case of dis
tinguished leader of the opposite party,
and the other feels chagrined and humili-
ated, let us unite in cul,ivating public
sentiment which shall in the future pre-
vent the possibility of similar demonstra-
tra,ions on the part of our public men.
