Secretary sherman on Rerunding.

N. Y. World.
1t is to be inferred from the out
givings of Washington correspond
ents in the confidence of Mr.. SSher-
man that he has modified his plans
and will to-day advocate in Port
land his own candidacy for the
office of President not so much upon
the ground of his devotion to "hon-
est money and an honest dollar" as
upon the plea that chiefly by his
own individual efforts the annual
interest charge of the Government
has been reduced by some ten mill
lions of dollars. In this change of
front Mr.. Sherman takes up posi-
tiOn stronger for himself and more
likely to be acceptable to the coun-
try at large. 1t would have been
impossible for him to convince the
people that in respect to "honest
money or an honest dollar" he has
since 1862 been anything but
trimmer of the most Objectionable
Ohio type. He could not stand
against his own speeches, as fool
ishly collected by himself, on that
ground in a Presidential campaign.
But the country desires a reduction
of taxation, and it is disposed to
commend every public man who
zealously labors for that end.
Everybody knows that of the
twenty-seven hundred millions of
public debt which the country owed
at the end of the war-say in Janu-
ary, 1866-Very little bore less than
per cent. interest, while a part of
it bore a still higher rate. AS in
1870 and 1871 much of this debt was
or soon would be liable to be paid
(or "called in," as the term isl by
the Government, Congress then
Iegislated to enable the Executive
to exchange such bonds for bonds
bearing a lower rate of interest. It
authorized the issue and sale of
these new bonds, in order to procure
the means wherewith to take up
and cancel the old bonds, in the fol-
lowing amounts:
Five per cents of 1881 l............ S5O0009 900
Four and a half per cents of 1891 100000 900
Total. ..................sl,5 800 OOO, 900
The legislation forbade the Exec
utive to sell these bonds for less

A DISPATCH from Victoria, British
Columbia, says: Several months age
three men named Bradshaw, Keely
and Murphy, who had been engaged
to cut wood on one Of the islands oi
the northwest coast, became discon.
tented with the nature Of their EN-
ployment and left the isl and Ia disgust,
hoping 70 be able TO reach one of the
fishing establishments not far distant.
They failed, however, To accomplish
their perIlous task, aud as days aud
weeks passed by and no tidings Of
them were received, il was surmised
that they had been carried ont TO sea
aud drowned, or had persisted from
sheer want. But such was not the
case. A gentleman who arrived here
from the northwest coast on board the
steamer Western slope reports that
the men, after drifting south thirteen
days, We're upset near Cape Farewell
and rescued by kitkata Indians, who
took them to Kitad.at Arm, and there
held them in slavery, compelling them
to assist in salmon traps, and allow
ing them but one meal Of the very
coarsest description per day. They
remained in this condition Of servi-
tude for three weeks. suffering very
severe privations, but at last the
Kitkatas, either from fear Of being de-
tected in their act or from some other
motive, took the captives to the estab-
iishment Of the Windsor Canning Com
pany on Skeena liver, where they ar
rived in half famished ard almost
nude condition.
