REPUBLIcAN FINANcEERISe.
The Faith of the Government TO Increase tho

WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.-The act subst-

that the latter shalt be carried fast

Is as pious a fraud as could well lie conceived ny

Committee. The faith OF the Government 10

debt with an additional amount OF six per cent.
OF the fund itself. To this extent In previous
fiscal years, with one exception. over thirty mil
lion dollars in six per cent. gold bearing bonds
were called In, aud to that extent the debt was
YEARLY decreased. This year tue facts are these:
Five per cent. gold bonds will he sold TO pur-

CARED as II was not willing the DILL should be
defeated. In "A word, the faith OF the Govern
ment to increase the sinking fund by decreasing
the public debt has been violated this year
through the turpitude Of Republican senators.

cfoaked in impenctrable secrecy. If what
inklings Of the Credit and Finance Com

TO be set down as lies OF monumental pro-
portion, that concern plundered the stock
holders and robbed the Central Pacific on
scale as compared with which the Credit

holder; but peading it enough light M ay be

might be made available in payment OF

Architecture.

The outsides of the houses at Pompeii
show great plainness and simplicity ex-
pcnditure and art were reserved ior the
interiors; this was probably true of the
Greeks also. Later this good rule was de-
graded, and in the time of of Constantine
architecture was in its decadence. But
Rome never reached pure and fine style"
as the Greeks did. "Style consists in dis
tinction OF FORM" and is one of the ele-
ments of beauty. This the Greeks had in
perfection. In the primitive epochs style
imposed itself upon the architect later
he looked about for something with which
he could create style. In all this two ele
ments prevail: First, necessity, and sec
ond, Imagination. In every good style OF
building The uses of the structure must be
plain, bold, and honest; the form must be
perfect, decoration must be subservient.-

AN INDIANS PRAYER.

The following is said to be a copy of a
prayer offered by Crow Indian. 1t will
be seen that the "untutored mind Of the
savage runs very nearly parallel to that Of
his civilized neighbor. He prays, as John
chinaman would say, just same like Mel
iican man." except that he is little more
honest, and says 10 the Great Spirit, in
plain terms, Just what he means:
am poor; that is bad. Make me a
.hief; give me plenty of horses, give me
fine clothing. | ask for good spotted
horses.
Give me large tent give me a great
many horses grant ii 10 me.
Give me guns by cheating; give me a
