system. BY the rapid payment of the
national debt the bonds on which the bank

some new plan is adopted to supply the
place Of the old one. The perfect
safety Of national bank notes is a
feature ofthe present system which the peo-

This is q great year for newspaper i'm
provements in the State. The publishers
appear to be doing all they can to give
their patrons the worth of their subscrip-
tons. There is growing feeling that
local papers have not hitherto received
the support they deserved, and that the
encouragement of other papers at the ex-
pense Of our own publications is not the
oest kind Of policy to pursue. There is
evidently healthy change coming about
n this matter.

Refuse to Submit.

ST. LoUIs,D Dec. 31.-Seyeral lodges of the
Amalgamated Iron Works union held a
joint meeting in South ST. Louis last night
and discussed the question of wages. Af-
ter free conference, they concluded not
to accept the reduction proposed by the
ST. Louis Ore & Steel company. It is not
unlikely, now, however, that compro-
mise may be effected, and with this view
the men will have an interview tomorrow
with E. A. Hitchcock, president of the Ore
& Steel company. The men in the me
chanical department, including machin-
lists and blacksmiths, are quite as deter
mined as the tonnage men, and say they
will strike rather than submit.
Additional information regarding the
meeting last night is to the effect that the
men expressed willingness to work for
one year for 1211k per cent. reduction on
present wages, or 20 per cent. reduction
for four uAnths, leaving the schedule to be
arranged after that time in accordance
with the condition of the trade, etc. A
delegation was appointed to convey this
decision to the committee, and they will
meet President Hitchcock tomorrow and
Law it before him.

arrested to-day at Humboldt, Georgia.
Sheriff L. A. Miles at the instance of n.

with having spirited away his grand
daughter, child of thirteen years. The
Beckwilths are brothers, and are aged re
spectively twenty-five and twenty three
years, and claim to live near Blue Earth,
MINI. The elder one has been in the en-
ploy of Mr.. Lathrop as laborer for six
months, and persuaded the girl to go with
him, pledging her protection and support.
The three stopped over night at a farm
house, Jeffel representing tine child as his
wife, and occupying the same bed with
her. The sheriff arrived here this evening
with the parties. The men are in Jail.
The girl is an interesting and seemingly
bright child. She regrets her error, but
does not seem to fully realize her outrage
and disgrace.

The Proposed Reduction of Expenses in the
Navy YarGs-The Importation OF Pota-
toes into the United States.
Especial Telegram to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 31.-Admiral Nichols,
chief of the bureau of yards and docks,
said this morning that a telegram had
been sent to all the navy yards ordering a
reduction of the laboring forces at the
various yards for January of 80 per cent.
on the number employed in December.
Admiral Nichols said that with this reduc-
ton the yards could be open till the mid
die of February, when, unless congress
makes an appropriation for the purpose,
it would be necessary to make greater
reduction or close entirely. They said
further that the closing of each yard
involved a cost of about $4,000;
that it was absolutely necessary to
keep some men employed at all times for
the care of government property. Then
the fire departments must be kept up.
The police and watch force is required to
guard the materials and gates. From
seven to twenty horses and oxen are used
in each yard. Men must be kept to look
after and care for these or they must be
Sold This would be poor policy to pur-
sue, as the government could not realize
one-half of their value at this season of
the year. "Again," said Admiral Nichols,
''closing these yards will embarrass other
branches of the national service, as
the water supply by law can only
be obtained through the supply at the
yards and docks, no other bureau except
this having the power to pay out money
for this purpose.
THE IMPORTATION OF POTATOES.
The announcement few days since OF
the arrest of a custom house inspector at
New York, for making false returns on a
large cargo of imported potatoes brings to
importation of potatoes to this country.
The books of the custom bureau of the
treasury department show that large
quantities of potatoes have been imported
INTO this country the last few years. The
past year nearly 100000 bushels paid
duty at various ports in this country, the
value being $4,500,OOO, and the amount
of duty paid S1,118,476. A large proper
tion of these landed at New York, though
Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore and New
Orleans got their share. The potatoes
came from New Brunswick, Nova Scotia,
the Bermudas, and some millions of bush
els from across the ocean, mostly from
Scotland, and some from Ireland.

WASHINGTON, Dec. Ex-senator Van
Wyck has telegraphed the settlers on the
Denver & st. Joseph railroad lands that no
steps have been taken by Kneavils Or
others claiming railroad titles to dispos-
sess them, and no such steps are to be
taken until the question has been finally
disposed of by congress, and that congress
will, without doubt, enact laws to protect
settlers, or enable them to settle satisfac-
torily with the claimants.
