ZIONIST" JopN SHERMAN is not ia

ZIONIST" JOHN SHERMAN is not fa- miliar with that jewel called consistency. Three years ago, while Sherman was United States treasurer, Fernando Wood proposed n bill to refund the national debt at 3 per cent as fast as the and per cent bonds should mature. Secretary Sherman, for reasons best known to him self, joined the national banks in their opposition to the measure, and declared that he would not undertake to refund at a lower rate Of interest than and 4 per cent. By means of this buster and the influence of the banks, congress was induced to pass bill authorizing the sec retary to refund portion of the debt at that rate. ''Honest" John issued the bonds and delivered them to Wall street syndicate who disposed of them at a p1e- mium of from to 12 per cent, and paid Honest" John commission sufficiently large to make him millionaire. Subse- quently, congress, moved by transitOry attack of honesty and economy, passed a bill directing the secretary to refund at 3 per cent. This time "Honest" John and his bank packers, through those secret methods, known only to themselves, in duced Mir. Hayes, the husband of his wife, to veto the bill, and the friends of the measure in congress were not stront enough to pass it over the veto. Now Honest" John comes into the senate, introduces a 3 per cent funding bill, and metaphorically speaking, moves heaven and earth to secure it's passage It is diff 6cult to understand the why and where fore of this inconsistency. It could not be the result of sudden and honest change of heart, for Sherman is not a man of capricious convictions. There must be i some other reason. It is charged by the opponents of the bill that 1t is in the in terest of the banks, and that "Honest" John is acting as their agent. This may be the real milk in the cocoanut. There are certainly two things upon which to ground the suspicion. First, Johns past and known services in the interest of that plutocracy; and second, a clause in the bill making payment of the bonds optional with the secretary of the treasury. The clause ill question is innocent enough on its face, but it clothes the secretary with dangerous power. It enables him and the banks, provided there should be l coilussion between them-and such a thing is not unknown to history-to control the entire business of the country through Wall street operations. To illustrate, suppose the Wall street bulls should de- sire plethora of money, they would only need to direct the secretary to announce that he would pay weekly in New York 1 fifteen or twenty millions of option bonds. Up would go the stocks. The bulls would unload and then, in order to bring the stocks down again preparatory to buying them in, they would order the Washing ton engineer to reverse the lever and stop the payment of the option bonds till fur ther orders. A stringency in the money market would follow and with it would come the desired decline in stocks. These deals at the money center would effect more or less the business of tho entire country.

AN INTERFERING snowman has been negotiating with Guiteau's relatives with view to securing the assassin's corpse for exhibition in all of the principal cities on both sides of the Atlantic, the net pro ceeds of the enterprise to be divided be- tween the relatives and the slowman. Such a proposition is monstrous, and even them mere suggestion of it should consign the snowman to damning and lasting in fanny. Even the depraved nature of Gui- teau, notwithstanding his overmastering passion for notoriety, revolts at the idea But Scoville, it is said. does not frown upon the proposal further than to say that the relatives must use their own discre- tion in the matter. This may be con strued as tacit consent Mrs. scoville, be it said to her credit, expressed horror at the bare mention of the scheme.

THE Citizen says: Chalmers Scott, Esq, an engineer of the Central Pacific Railroad Company, was in Tucson yester- day, and returned to Yuma last evening. He will be here again about Wednesday, when he will commence the survey of a railroad route to Point Lobos, on the Gulf of California. This indicates that the Central Pacific company intends to as- certain by reliable survey, the merits of the route our people have taken so much interest in. This survey will doubtless include thorough investigation of the sources of business along the line, both developed and undeveloped Mir. Scott re- gently surveyed line from Corinne, Utah, to Yankton, Dakota, and very lately ran a working liae from Yuma to Port Isabel which he says has but very light grade and car be be cheaply constructed.

CONGRESSMAN CASSIDY, of Nevada, has introduced a bill asking and appropria- tion of S100, 900 for the sinking of two ar tesian wells, at points within that state, to be designated by the secretary of the Interior The Nevadans, like citizens of other arid sections of the West, believe that artesian water, in sufficient volume to supply their needs in the matter of ir- rigation, could be secured by boring wells at proper points and to a great depth But the expense of the experiment, con sdering the uncertainty of the result, would be so great that individuals, or even companies, cannot afford to under take the enterprise. And unless the gov ernment can be induced to interest itself in the matter, the experiment will never be made. We hope Mir. Cassidy will sue ceed, for Nevada is not more interested in this matter than is Arizona.

Treaty submitted 10 Congress to-day, con.
sldlng Of letter from Lord
Granville to Mr.. lIoppIn aud
u letter from the Secretary Of state
10 Minister Lowell. The letter Of Lord
Granville, dated November TO- 1881, * in
reply to Mr.. Blane's letter of June 9th,
which has already been published. After
acknowledging the receipt of this letter and
explaining that the failure Of her Mairsty's
government to answer II more promptly
was mainly due To the long suspense which
followed the sad event of July 2, Lord
Granville notes especially the stress laid
by Mr.. Blaine upon the objection made by
the Government of the United States to
any concerted action of European powers
for the purpose of guaranteeing the neu-
trality of the canal or determining condi.
tons of its use and says: | do not pro.
pose to enter into u detailed argll
ment in reply to Mr.. Bain's
observations | should wish, therefore, to
point to you the position of Great Britain
and the United States with reference to the
canal. On account OF the magnitude ofthe
with the countries adjacent, it wishes to form |
a highway as determined by engagements |
entered into by them respectively in con-
vention, which was signed at Washington |
on the 10Th of April, 1850 commonly known
as the Clayton-Bulwer treaty, and
her Maiesty's government rely with
confidence upon the observance of all en-
gagements of that treaty" Blaine's letterin
reply to this communication, dated No
vember, 20th 1881, is Il summary of the his
torical objections to the Clayton-Bulwer
treaty, and very decided difference of
opinion existing between the two govern
ments to which Its Interpretation has given
rise. Blaine then reviews at length the
mission of Sir William Owsley to the United
States, the proposal Of the British
Government to submit the question in dis
pute to arbitration, and the failure of the
Clarendon Dallas treaty. In summing up
this negotiation, Blaine says: at was
frankly admitted on both sides that
the engagements of the treaty We're
misunderstood, imperfectly comprehend
and contradctOrly interpreted and mu-
tually veXatious." Blaine concludes as fol-
lows 1T will be seen that from the time
Of the conclusion of this treaty in 1850,
until the end Of 1858, its provisions were
thus made the basis of a proposal
to arbitrate as to their meaning; that mOdi-
tications and abrognIions have alike been
cortingently considered, and that its vcXa-
tious and imperfect character. has been re-
pcatedly recognized on both sides.
The proposal Of this government
is to free from it those
embarrassing feelings, and leave it, as its
Trainers intended it should be, full and

American Claims Commission met at II
o'clock to-day. In the case Of 5.dour VS..
the United States, an order was made that
claimant produce the original bOol; oil en-
tries, that the case he postponed ill the 10Th
day of February. In the case of
Dutrieux VS. the United States,
the motion of the French
counsel asking that the word "disallowed"
be stricken from the judgement of the
Court and that the words dismissed
without prejudice" be substituted, was
denied. The Commission passed IA general
order to the effect mat ON the first of Feb
ruary the Secretary should call
the docket, that the Commissioners
might be Informed through counsel
Of the condition aud prospects of each case
fhe case of ChaurealI vs.. the United States
was submitted for adjudication without ar
gument. In the case of Fox IL Lapuylde
vs.. the United States, French Counsel
made a motion To amend the memorial
\ lengthy discussion was had
upon the motion of French
counsel to amend the memorial in the case
of Wilt, administrator, VS.. the United
States. In this case the Commissioners
had suspended judgment, disallowing the
claim, on the ground that the adminstra-
tor, who was only claimant as re-
corded, is not French citi-
zen. 1t was now proposed by French
counsel to state the names of certain French
citizens who We're interested in the claim.
This was opposed by counsel of the United
States and the Commission took the subject
under advisement. The Commission then
adjourned to Tuesday, January 81.
