The Yuma Sentinel few days ago
contained the following: "A herd OF
camels was driven here from Nevada
nearly two years ago. Finding no
profitable work for them, their owners
turned them loose along the ella TO the
eastward of Yuma. There they have
been living and breeding, looking fat
and sleek all the time. For while they
were In danger Of determination.
Whenever they put in an appearance
along the wagon road they frightened
mules and horses beyond control OF the
drivers. They soon earned the ever
lasting hatred of teamsters, some 81
whom acquired habit Of shooting
camels on sight. Since, however, the
railroad has been delivering freight ~
Adonde, the road along the ella this
side Of that place has been comparative
IL abandoned by teamsters, and the re-
manning camels have now good chance
to show what they can do in the way Of
propagation. The waterless desert OF
Sonora, south and southeast Of Yuma
is known to possess immense deposlts
Of salt, sulphur, borax and soda. us
mountains are also known TO carry ex-
tensive deposits Of metals. To these
camels we look for eventually making
these treasures accessible and available

I was thinking in what paper or papers

755, 100; 30 that the country IL now actually
paying interest on 1856, 200 more OF the
bonds than 1t was when Mr.. Sherman took
charge or the Department. In fact, the debt
ID that much greater than 1t was two years
nuo. re Ii true this increase 10 offset by o
large balance Ia the Treasury. These Repub-
lican aecretaries are fond Of boarding large
amounts Of cash In the public Golfers, and Mr..
Sherman has 600 there now; but as
the government Is losing the interest on this
idle money. IT actually represents a
debt Of that amount II man owes
$1,000 on which he ID paying
interest, and carries In his pocket $500 with
out making any use Of 1t, he has no right to
say that he owes only $500. And yet this is
what the debt-less-cash -in-the- Treasury state
ments Of Republican Secretaries amount to.
The public debt, less cash In the Treasury on
the first Of the present month, was $780,
14,905; but the actual debt of the United
States on that day was $2,245, 495. 072. Having
proved that the public debt has increased and
not diminished, the true reasons are given by
Gen. Ewing why the government four per
eent-practically six and half per cent
bonds are popular. It Ia because the indus
tiles OF the country have perished under Sher-
mans policy, and the capital that ought to
create enterprises locks itself up In untaxed
United States securities. to the detriment OF
all Industries and the masses Of the people.
A Washington dispatch TO the Cincinnati
Gazette says:
The last circular Of the Treasury Depart
ment, In regard to the Reconstruction Of
sugars, has caused general excitement
among the Eastern Importers but rs
yet the complaints made are chiefly
from those who have heretofore been
charged with importing sugars which
were artIficlally colored, for the purpose
OF passing them at lower rate OF duty
than their real quality called for. Those
houses which have not participated In these
questionable transactions incliu to he optn-
Ion that the new order Of ths Treasury De-
partment will render the previous method Of
fraud impracticable
The extent Of criticism from this class Of
honest importers extends no further than to
expressing the belief that the new circular,
while not In direct conflict with the letter OF
the law, ID, perhaps, D stratnlng OF the law.
But this they are ready to excuse on the
ground Of It's being necessary for the protec-
ton Of the treasury.
