financial or0akers, but they formed a very
small portion of the intelligent classes On the
part of those dissatisfied writers IL was con.
tended that Mr.. Pitts scheme caused the funds
to 1uctuate in value, and 10 animated desire for
stockjobbing; that IL withdrew capital from
agriculture, manufactures, and commerce to
be employed in the more idle, unpToductive,
and precarious business of speculation; that
money-brokers, stockholders and gamblers

into the sinking fund was just so many millions
year taken from the people for the purpose OF
keeping up the price of stock.
In 1914 the Right Honorable Nicholas Van

He pointed TO the sinking fund as being an

great danger OF the national debt being reduced

argument he succeeded at least In convincing

ORIGIN OF THE Assoc1ATrn ppvss

correspondent OF the Hartford Press writes.
Next to the political contest the tonic of con.
versauon ID our newspaper offices Is the re-
moval or resignation of ID. H. Craig from the
management of the Associated Press. The AS
sociated Press, your readers will understand
is controlled clusively by the New York papers,
ana ana the - news rs sold by them to other jour

Interesting incidents connected with its origin.
Long years ago, before the days of telegranhv
the Sun and H@d,d were the two great com
peting papers in the metropolis The S,,n was
started by one Mr.. Day, and soon fell into lie
hands OF Moses 7. Beach, who now lives In
wealthy retirement at Walngrord Ct. Mr..
Beach exhibited great enterprise In the man
agement OF the Sua, procuring, among other
newspaper faciliie les, a flock of carrier nigeons.
trained IN England. BY the aid of these pigeons
Mr.. Beach was enabled to outstrp all competi-
tors andto astonish the public. They at first
were kept at Sandy Hook, Halifax and the
points on the coast TO bring the foreign news
to New York. For example, a man i'm n small
yawl would interc ept vessel few miles out
from Halifax, and having obtained the news,
would write 1t out and let free pigeon, which
would bring it hither. In time these pigeons
were also stationed at Boston, Philadelphia,
Baltimore and Washington. By publishing a
speech OF Daniel Webster few hours after its
delivery at Boston, the Sun made worldwide
reputation for itself and increased lis circula-
ton fourtoid. The Mexican war opened up a
new field OF enterprise for Mr.. Beach. There
was strip OF territory, sixty miles wlde at the
communication but once a month. After the
conflict began, Moses Beach despatched two of
his sons TO this remote region, who pur-
chased some mules, and established, secretly
and quietly, a private express of their own.
Time after time, the San contained news of
SCOTS victorious progress, when the Govern
ment and other papers had not received a line
from our absent legions. The Administration
thanked Mr.. Beach in the warmest manner for
the news thus obtained. HIS competitors at
length, after trying in vain for some time dis
covered the manner in which the Sun cot ahead
OF them. Thereupon, Bennett, of the Herald.
Halleck, of the Journal of Commerce, and one or
requested the privilege of sharing IN the ad
vantages and profits OF the mule express The
request being refused, they told him they
acceded to the request, and this was the origin
OF the Associated Press, which, a few wears
later, built the telegraphic line to Cape Race,
purchased steam sloop to intercept vessels,
and now controls the news market of the
country.

Total for twenty-three years.

The sinking fund system having received its
death-6low from Mr.. Vansittart, the people be-
came tired of 1t, and other means were talked of
for the purpose of reducing the national debt bat
nothing practical was found. The public finally
became used TO the burden, and even acquiesced
IN the sentiment that great national debt was
great national blessing, or. as the Southern
Rebels used to say a blessing in disguise. All
that was finally lett for the extinguishment of
the national debt was the old world without

New YORK, March 13.-It is said that it has been
reliably ascertained that the military excitement
going on in Canada is the result of direct special
commands from the Crown of Great Britain, for the
purpose of dverting the attention of the Fenian
Brotherhood from Ireland as the grand objective
point and to precptate the Union of the Provinces,
with Prince Alfred on an American throne. The
agents of England are now here laden with gold to
carry ont this plan but they have been foed by the
detective system of the Fenan brotherhood which
ram'es society in this country to the tables of
Sir Frederick Bruce in Washington and the Cover
