PRESIDENT GRANT.

His Views on Our Financial Status.
Washington, Jan. 2g.-The President.
in conversation with a gentleman in
regard to the financial condition of the
country, said he believed the time has
now arrived when immediate resump-
ton of specie payment is possible. He
said he had observed for months past Il
tendency in the financial affairs of the
country toward this point, and has
watched it closely with a view of sug-
costing at the proper time measures
looking to the accomplishment of the
desired result. He said the statistics of
our foreign commerce. show afbalance
of trade in favor of this country
amounting. during the last year, to
1920, OOO, 600 and during the present
fiscal year ending June Both, believed
the balance would be at least 500, 000,-
900 in our favor. He thinks that after
the four years rest since the panic of
1873, the country has reached a point
when healthful industry and legitimate
tillci piioc, udocu VII oouho bVoASeoiS
principles, may again be engaged in
with profit. We have in addition to
this got over the idea that it is essen
tial to our social life and to our happi-
ness that we should purchase manu-
featured articles Of other countries
when we can produce similar ones Of
equal merit at home. This is a very
important lesson and is n of the
priI cipal elements making a return to
specie payments easier. Our people
have learned to limit their wants in a
great degree to productions offered by
our home manufacturers and by pur-
suing this policy the people during the
last four years have actually been saw
ing money, and this is proved by their
purchase Of United States securities
and by the general looking about for
safe investments. The foreign demand
for American productions is likely to
increase greatly, and in addition to this
the capitalists of the nations of the old
world look to the United States for
opportunities to invest their money
where it can be secured from chances of
war, and that too eve during what
might be considered as times of uncer-
tainty in our own affairs. This is
very creditable to this country and must
even be a source of pride to American
| citizens to know that whatever may be
the perplexities surrounding political
questions. at home, the masses of the
people in the old world, as well as men
of learning and financial strength, have
implicit faith in the perpetuity of our
institutions and the wisdom and intel
ligence of our people.
To America, Grant repeated, they
now look for opportunity for safe in
vestmtnt for their surplus capital. II
any evidence of this is necessary it can
be found in official information already
received from European money centres
and also in tile flattering manner in
which our ~ per cent. bonds have been
received in Europe. Already SO, 00O, OOo
of these bonds have been sold, and the
indications are that the remaining
1920, 600, 900 will be disposed of as
rapidly as tn, bonds can be handled by
the Treasury Department and syndi.

Perils of the Pool.


New York, Jan. 29.-Much curiosity
has been evinced in Wall street during
the past week to get at the bottom facts
in regard to the pool in the Western
Union. The utmost efforts have been
made to shroud the whole movement in
mystery, but where there are so many
parties interested in the present combi-
nation there is always a leaky vessel.
Enough has leaked out to make it prob
able that the following are something
lied principally by $. NJ. Mills, Rufus
is manager. The following are also
said to be interested: Russell Sage, T.
W. Park, several leading stock houses,
the president of one of the leading city
banks, and a wealthy California party.
headed by the %uccessor Of the late
Ralston as president of the Bank of
California. The pool is said to be for
100. 900 shares. Some dissatisfaction
exists among the members, arising
from the fact that many purchases
have been made at 78-the highest
price touched. This stock, it is claimed,
was sold to the pool by some inside par
ties. There is no doubt about the i'm
mense combination if it can be held to-
gether. The President of the Bank of
California alone is said to be worth
from S. 1000 to SIC, 1000, 900. This
is said to be the fist pool of any mag
| ni.ude started in Wall street since the
decision of the Court of Appeals in the
suit of VIM. Heath & Co. vs.. S. v.
| White and others, in which it was held
that all members of a pool are general
partners and are individually respon-
| sible for all loss. This decision has
made parties of responsibility very shy
of pools.

The Democrats in the House object
to Garield's selection by the Republic
cans as a member of the electoral COM
mission because he went to New Or
leans, and is therefore biased. The OBJ
jections are If course absurd. The pur-
pose of the bill and the agreement in
the commission was to make certain the
appointment of five Democrats who
would v waver on any question af-
fecting the election of Tilden, and five
Republicans who have perfect faith in
the rightful and legal choice of Hayes.
This would throw the responsibility of
deciding legal questions on the justices
of the supreme court, where it is placed
by the theory of the bill. The Demo-
Gratis in the House will make choice of
their W members of commission to-
morrow. If they object to Garfield they
should not select Hewitt or Field or
Payne or Proctor Knott or Tucker or
Lamar or indeed any of their number
that mi Ear think of, if they are all
committed. Indeed Democrats in the
Senate are Directing to Bayard and
there will be contest against him be-
he is not partisan enough and
Thurman is sure to be one of those
chosen. There may be controversy
about Conkling, though its not supposed
he will be presented as a candidate. The
troubles of forming the commission are
not over and may prove to be serious as
there is some fear that four Justices will
not be able to agree upon the selection
of the fifth.

SPECIAL NOTICES.

IT IS A FACT ESTABLISHED and well known
that the Arabans attained height in the knowl-
edge OF medicine which caused the whole world to
wonder and admire. With them the science Of
chemistry had its birth, and it Is therefore, not at
all strange that people eminentiy successful in
the healing art, and so persevering and daring in
character, should, by actual and untIrinc eYperi-
ment discover remedies far surprising in efficacy
all Others for the of those diseases incident
them from their mode of life. The greater part of
their time eeing spent in hazardous and bloody
warfare with the different tribes they were subject
TO thS most violent attacks of rheumatism paralys
tsr neuralgia pains, and various inhammatory dis
cases. as also the most horid wounds sprains brui-
ses, tumors, swellings, diseases of the Joints etc.
All these diseases they so surprisingly effi-
cient in curing, that the Uulinitiated looked with
wonder and attributed their skill to the powers of
magic. G. FARRELLS ARABIAN LINIMENT
Is composition of bRlsams and oils, from rare
plants peculiar to this country and it was by the
use of the articles composing this great remedy
that not only their physicians, but even the wild
Arabs of the desert were enabled to perform such
miraculous cures. the Arab steed is world-re-
nowned for his beautiful symmetry of form, his
unsurpassed speed and agility, and the incredible
fatigue it is capable of enduring. Why is it? Be-
cause from the time of his birth his limbs
fully watched, and upon the first appearance of
disease the magic lotion is applied, and such things
as confirmed sweeny, poll-evil, fstula, r1ngbone,
The same result will follow in all cases where Ii.
G. Farrell's Genuine Arabian Llniment is used in
time. Therefore delay not in procuring good
supply of It, for every dollar spent in it will save
you twenty, and great deal OF suffering, If not
your life.
