FUNDING BONDS.
Text Of the Biu Introduced by
Representative Ru9er.

Text OF the Bill Introduced by
Representative Ruger.
The $4,000 funding bond bill intro
duced by DR.. Ruger authorizes the
county commissioners of this county to
issue, on or before December l, 1885,
funding bonds to the amount Of SIS, 1000.
in denominations Of 500, $500 or $1,000
each, and that said bonds shall bear 8
per cent. interest and shall be sold at not
less than par, the bonds being payable Is
years after date. The money received
for said bonds shall be used to take up
and cancel the warrants of said county
issued prior to January l, 1885, and pay
such other Indebtedness as may have
existed against said county on that date,
and for no other purpose whatever. The
bill further provides that 1t shall be the
duty Of the board Of commissioners to
levy and collect a tax annually sufficient
to pay the interest on said bonds, and
after nine years, in addition to this in
terest levy, they shall levy annually a
sinking fund sufficient to pay the full
amount due upon said bonds at matur-
ity.
The bill was amended in committee to
make the interest per cent.
Chairman Rumney, who had negotiat-
ed the bonds at premium prior to the
change made by the committee, thinks
he will have no difficulty in placing
them ut per cent interest, owing to the
fact that the original bill provided for
ton year bonds instead of fifteen years.
The extension of time makes them more
valuable,

ing there, although he is good man.

and Ohio got left and New York getting
two officers besides the president.
Mr.. Eaton does not think the west ia
we'll enough represented.

met, composed of solid men.

Ian In the war department.

cabinet and you can bet on a good gov
ernment.

What the Sexton Said

Mr.. Lewis Edwards, Sexton Of Mt.

c., certifies that for several months past
he has been suffering with a severe
cough which distressed him day and
night. He was very much debiliated,

tire relief.

''While exploring the KalahaIi,'' said Mr.
Farini, "where extremely poisonous snakes
abound several cases of the nude natives
being bitten by them came under my notice;
and, strange to say, the untutored savage,
although not knowing anything about similia
similibus curantur, cure themselves by inoc-
ulating with other virus. There is not a ma
tive or a hunter who does not carry either
the dried body of deadly poisonous reptile
called N'anboo, the poison sacks of the puff
adder, yellow cobra or capella. Their modus
operandi is this: AS soon as possible after
being bitten they make slight missions close
to where the poison fangS entered, into which
they sprinkle some of the dried and powdered
virus. The first effect is to induce sleepiness,
but the swelling soon goes down and in
day or two they are well as ever. Three of
my oxen were bitten, and cured by inocula-
ton. One case of the bushman who had
cured the oxen l must specially mention.
He boosted OF not being afraid Of being
bitten. One day while walking ahead OF the
wagons discovered fnll-grown capella ~
ing under bush. / called the buShman and
asked him to catch it if he was not afraid of
being bitten. He replied he would ii lwould
give him a roll of tobacco | refused, not
wishing to be accessory to his death. While
| was waiting for the drivers whip to dis
patch the snake, the bushman gave the rep
tile kick with his bare foot, and the horri-
BILE thing bit him. But the bushnan coolly
took from little skin pouch some poison
sacks, cut piece off and reduced it to pow
der, pricked his foot near the puncture,
which had commenced to swell, and rubbed
thesyirus powder in. One of the bushmen,
who had killed the snake and extracted the
poison cysts, handed one of them to him; he
squeezed drop of poison out of it into some
water and drank it; he seemed to fall into
kind of stupor, in which he remained for
some hours. At first, the swelling increased
rapidly, but began to subside after some
hours Next morning he inoculated himself
again; that night the swelling had complete
ly disappeared and the fourth day he seemed
as well as ever, and claimed the roll of to-
bacco." Mr.. Farini took the precaution to
bring home the poison of several snakes,
and a portion of N'anboo, which he is send
ing to NJ. Pasteur to experiment with.

a howaIIs,s STORY.

While W. d. Howells was a young man
living in Columbus and was on the editorial
force of the Ohio State Journal, he wrote a
poem which was published in the Atlantic
Monthly. In due time there came check
in payment for the poem, which was among
the earliest literary productions of Mr. How
ellis, before he had turned his thoughts
towards the field of prose fiction. The check
was highly priced in itself by the young poet,
but did not fill the full measure of his aspi-
rations, for shortly afterward he de-
manded of an intimate friend, with
much diffidence but great earnestness: Jim,
when you have check for some money, how
do you get the cash for p" The intricacies
of this financial operation being explained,
the amount of the check was deposited to his
credit in the bank. The money was not des
tined, however, to form a part of Mr. How
ells's ultimate estate, for shortly afterward
he again repaired somewhat embarrassed to
his more practical friend and asked, in a
quandary: jim, when you have some
money in the bank, how do you get it out
again?" Stree that time Mr.. Howells has
had little difficulty in getting money into or
out of the bank.

Senator Dawes who probably is more
thoroughly informed on the Indian question
than any other Senator, in speech at Cam
bridge, Tuesday night, pointed out the diff
culties in the way of a solution of the ques-
lion. He showed all our past experiments
with the Indians had been disastrous fail
ure...... at the only resource left which
gave see ppro1aise of success was their prac-
tical education SO as to enable them to take
care of themselves. ~Ehey must be taught
just as children are tsastssieet.,7--fer- they
are but children. 1t will require great
deal of perseverance and patience, and a
great deal of money, but not so much as it
has cost to try cruel and fruitless expert
ments The sum of $29o,OOO,oOo has been
spent upon 100000 Indians by the United
States government. A tenth part of it will
make the Indian worthy citizen, enjoying
the immunities of citizen of the United
States.

A little pamphlet comes to us from the Pa
cific coast entitled The Silver Question by
William M. Stewart. Its title page bears
these startling lines: 'Bondholders' Con-
spiracy to Demonetize Silver" "Unfaithful
Treasury Officials !" Hostility of National
Banks !" Independent Financial Policy for
the United States" The very first line of
the work indicates its character, and the tone
of its arguments. 1.-THE silver question" it
says, sis contest between European bond
holders and the laborers of the world" The
book reads exactly like a speech of our old
friend, Jesse Harper, in the Greenback era,
except that where that statesman
would have put the greenback dollar
Mr. Stewart puts the silver dollar.
The stoppage of the silver coin
age, it says, would destroy the confidence
of the masses in the good faith of their rul-
ers," and the movement to do so "emanates
from the bondholding directory in Europe,
and its purpose is to enhance the value of all
obligations for the payment of money" This
is precisely what Mr.. Harper and Scion
Chase used to tell us was the object of the
limitation Of the Greenback currency and
the movement to return to specie payments.
Their predictions before the latter event were
Just as gloomy as are Mr.. Stewards in this
book. Mr.. Stewart sharply arraigns the
President for sending Mr.. Manton Marble
abroad, and charges him in so doing with
colluding with the enemy" by which he
means, we suppose, the European bond
holding directory" He wants the
bondhelders paid in Silver, and insists
that in refusing to devote the sill
yer in the treasury to that purpose, Secre-
tary Manning is guilty of gross violation OF
the law. The quality of Mr.. Stewards hon
esty can be inferred from his assertion that
'the most dishonest and insidious PROPOSE
ton that has been suggested is to Increase
the amount of silver requisite to make sill
yer dollar" That is, it strikes him as most
dishonest and insidious for the government
TO put dollars worth of silver into dollar.
In supplement to the book, Mr.. Stewart
vigorously pitches into that part of the Pres
ident's message relating to silver, and says it
has spread gloom and apprehension ON the
Pacific coast" The gloom is probably con-
fined very largely to the owners of silver
mines.

A Washington correspondent Of the Louis
vile Courier Journal, doubtless Mr.. Waiter
son himself, has much fault to find with
Dorman B. Eaton and his civil service com
mission. He hints that Mr.. Eaton is too
busy resigning to give matters of business
the attention he is paid for giving them. The
Democracy will never sleep calmly until that
commission, and, in fact, everything Of a civ
il service reform character, is abolished.
Such institutions are not in the interest of
Democratic harmony and reform"
