SECRETARY WINDOW has won. Hi

SECRETARY WINDOW has won. His
plan for refunding the large amount OF
six per cent. bonds, which fall due July
1, is successful. Already $170,000, 600
have been sent in for redemption in three
and one half per cent bonds, and it is
believed that the remaining $25 100000
will be received at the treasury before
the time of redemption shall expire. By
this plan Secretary Window has met the
obligations Of the government: and saved
about 100000 Of interest annually
He will probably adopt a similar plan
for liquida,ing the large amount of per
cent. bonds now maturing. There is
every reason for pursuing such course.
1t will be profitable for the government
and good investment for the bond.

half per cent. bonds to the gold.

succeeded, and hopes never again to see
It tried. Did any one ever dream that

Republican success? Can it be supposed
that that paper will give due honor to a
western man? The game Is not one OF
bluff; it is no game at all; it is a legiti.
mate stroke OF f1nanciering. That the
new bonds arc preferred to gold, and al
the same time save $5,000,0o0 in interest
per year, Is proof that the plan will be
popular if not so already. Sound sense
lies at the base of the plan which solve:
al intricate problem. Secretary Window
is to be honored for the success of his
first move IN this department, and Mime
sofa congratulatcs her favorite son.

The absurdity of the charge that Gar

cally shown by the following remarks o
Thomas NJ. Nichol, a New York gentle
man thoroughly competent to speak as he
does Of The two men involved:
1.-THE President did not make the guar
rel. He had right to make the appoint
ment. The quarrel is made by those who
oppose the President IN Quarrelsomt
manner. Gen. Garfield is not a quarrel
some man: he is the opposite. Senator
Conkling has Quarreled with more of his
associates than any other man III public
life. Look over the list of public men
that Conkl,ng has either quarreled with
or publicly and contemporary sneezed
at: Blaine, Sherman, Hayes, Schurz
Evarts, Foster, Fenton, Curtis, Hoar, Burn

besides whole life of such notorious in
science and disregard Of the common
courtesies of a gentleman, as no other mar

Making Watches.

Defective watch cases are one of the chief
causes OF so many watches not being good
time pieces. The cases being thin and not
fitting we'll, admit dust and dirt to the mov4
ment, which soon interferes with the running
parts of the watch, necesstating cleaning, re-
pairing, &C., and the amount thus paid out if
applied toward buying good case in the
beginning, would have saved all this trouble
and expense. We have recently seen a case
that meets all these requirements, it having
been carried for over twenty years and Still
remains perfect. We refer to the JAS. BOSS
PATENT SrIFFENED GOLD CASE, which has
become one of the staple articles of the jew
elry trade, possessing as it does SO many
advantages over all other watch cases, being
made of two heavy plates of solid gold over
plate of composition, and we advise all our
readers to ask their jeweler for card or cat
alogue that will explain the manner in which
they are made.
1t is the only stiffened case made with two
plates of gold, seamless pendants, and center,
solid joints, crown pieces, &C., all of which
are covered by letters patent. Therefore buy
no case before consulting jeweler who keeps
the JAS. BOSS PATENT STIFFENED GOLD
CASE, that you may learn the difference be-
twee it and all limitations that claim to be
equally as good.
For sale by all Irresponsible jewelers.. Ask to
see the warrant that accompanies each case,
and don't be persuaded that any other make
OF case is as good. aprzO-ly
