Mr.. Lindsay said that it appeared that

| natural to suppose that he is prominent

presumption is, no evidence appearing to

to carry out strictly the provisions Of the
Howard amendment. and he thought it
should apply 20 this case as well as to
others Why this hasty report Why

should we publish them? Adapted to all ages and
conditions in all climates; containing neither calo

into healthy action remove the distractions of the
stomach, bowels, liver, and other organs of the
body restoring their irregular action to health and
by correcting, wherever they exist, such derange-

Minute directions are given IN the wrapper on
the box, for the following complaints which these
Pills rapidly cure
ness, LanguOr and Loss of Appetite, they
should be taken moderately to stimulate the stom-
ach and restore its healthy tone and action.
For Liver Complaint and its various symp
toms, Bilious Headache, Sick Headache,

Collie and Bilious Eevers, they should be ju-
Cciously taken for each case to correct the diseased
action or remove the distractions which cause it..
For Dysenfery or DiarrhOesa, but one mild
dose is generally required.
For determination, Gout, Gravel, Palpi-
Back and Lcins, they should be continuously
taken, required to change the diseased action of
the system. With such change those complaints
disappear.
For DrOpsy and DrOpaical SWellings they
should be taken in large and frequent doses to pro-
duce the effect of drastic purge.
For Suppression a large dose should be taken
as it produces the desired effect by sympathy.
AS a Dinner PHI, take one or two Pills to pro-
mote digestion and relieve the stomach.
An occasional dose stimulates the stomach and
bowels into healthy action, restores the appetite,
and nvlgorates the system. Hence 1t is often adj

! THE SUB-TREASURY SYSTEM-RADI-
CAL REFORMS REQUIRED.
From, the N. Y. Sun.

From the ". Y. Sun
Recent events in regard to the Sub-Trea-
sury in this city have raised the question as
to the safety of the public money under the
system now in operation. That system was
devised thirty years ago because certain
banks, in which the public money was de-
posted had failed and become defaulters to
the Government. Theoretically the system
may be sound, but the laws and usages which
now regulate it were not made to protect such
enormous accounts as are now in the vaults
of some of our Sub Treasures.
In this city, for example, the amount of
public funds under the control of the Sub
Treasurer ranges from seventy millions to
ninety millions of dollars, and may ere long
reach even one hundred millions. This vast
sum, it will be remembered, does not consist
of paper evidences of Government indebted
ness, which cannot be illegally and clandes-
timely disposed of without counterfeiting the
signatures of official personages. 1t consists
almost entirely of coin and bonds which can
be passed from hand to hand as easily as
gold eagle or a greenback
The amount of security which the Sub
Treasurer of this city is required to give for
the faithful keeping and discussing of these
seventy or eighty millions is understood to
be eight hundred thousand dollars, and his
annual compensation for discharging his
fearfully weighty responsibilities is six
thousand dollars. Now, according to the
usual requirements of the courts, a party
who holds money in fiduciary capacity is
obliged to give security in about double the
amount which, on the average he will be
likely to have under his control from time to
time. And in fixing the compensation of
such party, the courts, in addition to allow
ing pay for services and expenditures, have
often awarded him two and three per cent.
on the amount in which his sureties wore re-
quired to justify it being presumed that in
some way such party had to pay or indem-
Nifty his bondsmen for their risks.
Viewed in the light of these facts, how
grossly inadequate appears the amount of the
security eXacted of the ub-Treasurer in this
city; and what prudent man, with capacity
and character enough to fill the office, would
desire to assume its onerous responsibilities
for so paltry salary? No wonder that Gene
raj Dix declared that the months in which he
held this Office were the most anxious of his
whole life, nor that Mr.. Van Dyck threw up
the trust partly because he would not carry
SO heavy burden for such small remunera-
ton.
The system needs to be reformed in many
particulars Two changes are Immediately
and imperiously demanded: not to intrust
any such enormous sums to the custody of
one person; and to exact from those who hold
the public money an amount of security rea-
sonably proportionate to the sums in their
hands. Will the Secretary of the Treasury
and Congress reform this vicious and worn
out system?
The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1869-11-05

total, there was enough made to have come to
tax and to have yielded a revenue equal to
that of the year before, had the enormous
tax not kept it out of the market and forced
it into bond. Holders knew that the tax
must fall under the current PRESSURE and
naturally refrained from taking out the article
for which there was no sale, and paying the
two dollars tax.
When the tax was reduced the whisky in
bond was removed. The enormous quantities
which thus escaped from bond, added to the
increased distillaton stimulated by the. re-
duction, all paid tax of course, and swelled
the revenues on whisky during the last fiscal
year to the sum which Mr.. Delano has the
effrontery to claim as the fruit of his own
diligence With some slight difference, the
same causes that thus operated in favor of the
revenue on whisky operated in favor of that
on tobacco. Mr.. Delano's share in the course
pursued by the administration tended rather
to prevent the collection of the tax on the
total quantities of these articles which were
thrown on the market; his claim that he
created this increase of the revenue derived
from them is therefore the more preposterous

for the recognized exponents of public
opinion-that is, the newspapers-to give it
shape by combining to name and advocate a
ticket independent of party ties
OF course, the press could not have done
this unless public opinion had been with it.
But it is equally true that public opinion
could not have effected it without the aid of
its newspaper organs. There are many rea-
sons why it is not desirable that nominations
should usually be make in this way. In fact,
the success of the movement in Chicago is to
be ascribed to the fact that it was exceptional.
If the nominations were habitually managed
by the press, the press would become as
corrupt as the present machinery for the
selection of candidates. But il is worth the
attention of ''rings" in all large cities that
there is point where public forbearance with
their swindles ceases, and Tint, when that
point is reached, there is, in an united press,
a amode of organizing an opposition which is
potent enough utterly to upset them and
their schemes.
