CONGRESSMAN HOLMAN.

The Wonderful Greatness He Displays i'm

WASHINGTON, Sept. l8-lt has been a ques-
ton among prominent Indiana Democrats for
several years whether the distinguished Judge
Holman, known worldwide as the. great
objector," was really of eminent ability,
or whether he achieved his reputation by his
picayunish habit of objectng to little matters
coming up for consideration. He has shown an
ability for trivial matters that is truly wonder

whether United States marshal or any other
officer travelling at the expense of the govern
ment can select his own route in getting

little things so far As the mind can conceive,
Mr.. Holman is well versed. People throughout
the country must have observed this, for he has
been giving exhibitions of his adaptability ia
such things for many years in the House. Ii
must also have been observed that Mr. Holman,

tested the capabilities of this distinguished

Innovations Which Are Likely to Work Harm
to the Service.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Sept 1S.-An old Treasury off,
cial, who is thoroughly posted as to the workings
of that department, and especially as to the ma
chinery of the Treasurers Office, says that Treas
urer Jordan has initiated new departure since
he came into Office. Every now and then he
issues what he calls ''Order No. -" introducing
some innovation in the management of the
national finances. A few days ago he issued an
order which Treasury experts construe as being
the first blow in war that is to be made on the
United States Assay Office. This Office is one OF
the most important under the government, as it
prescribes the quality of all our coinage, the pre-
else amount of gold or silver required to be
worth when coined one dollar or fraction thereof.
This Office watches over this matter, and the
faithful performance of its duties is the only
guaranty that debased coins are not paimed off
on the people
What Mr. Jordon expects to accomplish by his
assaults on this Office no one seems to know ex-
actly, though the old experts predict that his aim
is to abolish the office of Assayer entirely, and
transfer its duties to his own Office. If this is
uoue tuo peopIe may prepare Aor SelioS VI ia
experiments with our mnts,
which will cause inextricable confusion in
our coinage The mere suspicion of such a
thing cannot fail to prove disastrous. Confidence
once shaken in regard to the purity of our coin
age it will be hard to restore it among the peo-
pie. These new people are not the men to make
financial experiments. They have not the slight
est comprehension of our financial needs popu-
lar or national Any new measures they may
introduce will be of the nature of raw expert
ments.
This same Jordan has introduced a new form
of monthly debt statement which muddles the
matter so that even experts cannot tell whether
it discloses decrease increase of the national
debt in the previous thirty days. In regard to
Mr.. Jordans orders it may be we'll to state that
capitalists, bankers, ETC., should procure copies
of them SO as to keep an eye on the future move
ments of this new financial revelator He seems
to think that he has been called to inaugurate q
new financial! dispensation, which will lay away
over all such small achievem ents as those of ex-
Secretary Sherman. The old Treasury experts
anticipate that one of these days Mr.. Jordan will
invent a scheme that will knock out all old
finaneial ideas; but sober, common-sense men
fear that the people of the United States will
find Jordan hard road to tra-e" before the
day of deliverance--March 4, 1889.

The Frauds Having Bad Effect on the
Credit of the State.


The Frauds Having q Bad Effect the
Credit of the State.
Special to the Indianaooiis Journal.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Sept. 1S.-A gentleman
who handles bonds issued by various corporations
and parties in the West returned here, to-day,
from trip to Philadelphia and other points
East He was not interested in any way in the
fraudulent school bonds or orders issued by In
diana township trustees, and says he never saw
one of them; but in financial circles he heard
much about them everywhere. He says that
the credit of Indiana is very much impaired and
that her citizens, unjustly and unnecessarily.
will be made to suffer very much.
81 found" said he, "a disposition everywhere
to question any and every security coming from
Indiana. had some farm mortgage bonds,
which are the very best securities one can have
as they never iuctuate in value, and even those
were questioned, and scme investors talked
about putting up the interest on them, one firm
going so far as to say they would not take them
at less than per cent. par. A few months ago
an Indiana farm loan bearing 6 per cent inter-
est could be sold East at l per cent premium,
and when they talk about 6-per-cent. interest
bearing bonds at par, just because some rascally
township trustees have imposed upon the peo-
pie, it is exasperating."
This gentleman stated further that it had been
suggested in many quarters. and that it was ex-
pected, that the Governor of Indiana should
issue some kind of proclamation or take
steps of some character that would alay
this excitement and restore public confidence in
the business of the State. He believed that
if check of some kind was not put upon the
raid on Indana's credit, and that of her citizens,
that much damage would be done to her people
and business interests, as the East would close
down upon them. Already, he stated, the banks
CT Indiana would find a change in their credit
in the East, and the merchants generally would
suffer even greater. This suggestion that the
Governor should take some step in the matter
has been spoken Of number of times in Wash
1ngton. but no one seems to know just what a
Governor can or should do under the circum
stances.
The issuance of fraudulent bonds by the com
mssioners Of Douglass county, Dakota, about
four years ago. demonstrated with what foolish
generality the country holds responsible whole
Territory or State for what some of the officers
In one county or township may do. It will be
remembered that the Douglass county bond
transactiop defeated the admission of Dakota
Territory into the Union of States. There were
men found in the United States Senate who
were sufficiently narrowminded to want
to punish the people of the whole
Territory-hundreds of thousands of inhab-
tants-for the sins of three officers in one
county The fight about the Indiana school
orders, of course, will soon blow over, and the
absurdty of its affecting other securities in the
State is disgusting to cool headed men,

WABASH, Sept 18-Your correspondent to-
day interviewed reliable gentleman who was
recently engaged in the business of furnishing
supplies to township trustees, and who is passing
few days here. The gentleman states that the
nature and extent of the swindling and illegal
operations of township trustees in this State is
simply appalling.
why, there is one manufacturing concern
down in our part of the State" said the gentle
man, "that is run by receiver. He was au
thorized by the court to fill out existing contracts
and close up the business, but he has willfully
disobeyed that order, and is going ahead accept
ing all the contracts his agent can gather at
any price. The latter are instructed
to offer substantial inducements in
order to boom trade, and it is evident that they
carry out the Instructions as all of the trustees
of Randolph county were recently called before
the grand jury there and ordered to testify
whether they had been offered bribes by the en-
ployes of this establishment. Every one
acknowledged that bribes had been so offered.
The fraudulent and bribegiving establishments
are not all located out of the State, by any
means. If one approaches a township trustee
these days, or at least before this agitation. he
would almost invariably ask after you have
sold him bill, how much rebate are you going
to give meF If yen demonstrate and appeal to
his sense of right, he will say, oh! they all do
it, and it must be right When the bribe giving
ag ent comes along the trustee will pay him at
least % per cent more, which goes into the
officials pocket"

left for good and will not return again The
majority of the depositors are at loss to know
what to believe or think of his failure The

Gazette says NJ. Testa, the minister from Mo

of the incessant advance of French troops on the
northwest frontier of Algeria, indicating move
ment on Morocco. This action of the German

of France respecting Morocco, which, if carried
