Who Buys the Four Per Cent.
Bonds?

New York Journal
Everybody seems surprised to think
that the four per cent. bonds are being
sold at the rate Of $140,000,0O0 a
month. They think it an evidence
that the credit of the country is good,
that money is plentiful, and that times
will be better. But who is it that is
putting their money into these bonds {?
Is it the bankers and money lenders.
do you think? Not so. They are the
go-betweens, the stool pigeons used to
entrap the confding public. No
banker is going to put much money in
four per cent. bonds. They will buy
them for other people, will advance
money for that purpose and hold these
bonds as security.
The bankers in Wall street are offer
ing to advance money for any one who
desires to purchase bonds, providing
the party is responsible for any depre-
citation in the value of the bonds.
The object in doing this is to induce
everybody to purchase these four per
cent. bonds and tie their money up in
them. The bankers know we'll enough
that just as soon as business becomes
active money will be worth more than
twice four per cent. per annum.
1t will not be many months
after renewal of business be-
fore there will be marked de-
probation in the price of government
bonds. Men are not going to lock up
money In four per cent. bonds when
they can realize twenty to thirty per
cent. by investing it in real estate or
in other enterprises. When once tied
up in cheap securities it is not easy to
get it out, and for this reason the bank
ers will soon be able to buy these three
and four cent securities at prices that
will bring fair interest on their in
vestment,

WASHINGTON, February 2l.-SEN-
ATE-Mr. Voorhees, introduced bill
authorizing and requiring the secre-
tary Of the treasury to reissue United
States legal-tender notes new held for
redemption, fractional currency, and
part Of such notes heretofore retired
from circulation under tlle act of
January 18th, to the aggregate amount
of S26, 6,S52, 200, and to expend same in
the payment of such claims forAarrears
Of pensions as may be allowed under
act of January 25th, 1879. Referred.
Mr.. ingalls,, from the committee ON
pensions, reported an amendment to
the bill making an appropriation to
pay arrears of pensions. The proyis-
ions of the amendment are similar to
those Of the bill introduced in the
house to regulate the adjustment of
pension cases. The amendment also
provides that applications for arrears
of pensions must be filed before Jan
uary /, 1880. After that time pensions
will commence from date of applica-
tiOn, Referred.

bend wood Criticisnn.

Dramatic criticism is a fine art on
the frontier. Here is bit from the
Deadwood Times:
"We would say, and it is the least
and most that we can say, that Miss
Fanny Prices condition of Camille
on Saturday night was indifferent.
Her positions are not good in her pas
sion scenes; VIII en- she should swell
out like a mountain, she sinks in like
gulch. That amt right in this
country She ought to know the audi
ence here is not the fne-spun crowd
that she would encounter back East,
and when she had worked their feel
ings up to a scalpiRg hurrah, she ought
not to give up to her lover. She pre-
sented only fighting front when her
lovers back was turned. This won't
do for a frontier audience, and Miss
Price will probably thank us for this
suggestion. We make it for her bene-
| fit. The character of Camille is way
| up when the right conception of it is
presented by the actress. Clara Nor
ris would make a mule kick its driver
If the said animal was allowed to
look upon her-but Fanny Price ex-
cites none of the human passions by
her representation.

Blair, the BigaIsiist, COnfesses His
Guilt.

New YORK, February 18.-Captain
Blair, of the Fifteenth infantry, to-
day brought his trial on a charge of
bigamy to an abrupt termination by
pleading guilty. In his plea he does
not admit that at the time of his mar
riage in Kentucky he believed that he
had been legally married in Scotland,
and claims that he is therefore guilt
less of Intentionally doing the great
wrong charged, and yet he does not
deny that in acting solely upon his
own conviction in so grave matter he
committed an error so serious in its
consequences to Others that he is will
ing to make whatever reparation or
atonement that may seem fit in full ac-
knowledgment of his wrongful act,
and awaits the full sentence of the
court.
