Total amount


There is n general laT providing for
state tax levy to meet the interest on the
certificates of Indebtedness to the school
fund. This amounts to about $l57 600
annually. There is also the mill tax law
which provides for tax of one mill for
the common schools, amounting to rrac-
tically 100000. The whole of this money
amounting to S651 800 goes right back to
the people for the common schools.
There is in addition the annual levy of
one eighth of a mill for the university
amounting to $6I 900; this also goes to
the state educational system. The only
other tax levy directly laid upon the peo
pie is the levy upoX the counties for
the support of insane and inmates
OF the industrial school for boys. During
the past two years there have been paid
to educational purposes in addition to all
the tax levies for that purpose the Sl9o,-
ooO to the university, $4,000 to the town
ship high-schoois, $4,000 to the state
normal schools and $4,000 for the new
school for dependent children. All this
has been paid from receipts from licences
upon railways telegraph and insurance
companies and the state treasury reports
r balance vet of S4S5.6S9S5. There has
been no budget bill for four years aud it
appears that none will be needed for the
next two years.

nation, pleading in a profound and logi-
cal argument to have the national legis-
tive body reduce the taxes imposed for
great war, after the war has long ago
passed into history, and all the debt in
CURED by it paid except a small portion
which is not in reach, is a remarkable
condition of affairs. And yet the request
will not be granted, and there does not
seem to be any very good reason Why 1t
should. The people have had the
subject before them long enough and it
may as we'll be conceded that they have
failed 10 make any very urgent appeal
for reduction of taxation. Congress
will respond when the people wake up
and demand it and until then it may rs
well be admitted that talk is of little
avail.

THE INDIANS.

In September and October last, the
hostile Apaches. who, under the leader
ship of Geronimo, had for eighteen
months been on the warpath and during
that time had committed many murders
and been the cause of constant ter
TOR to the settlers of Ari-
zona, surrendered to Gen. Miles, the
military commander who succeeded Gen.
Crook in the management and direction
of their pursuit. Under the terms of the
surrender as then reported, and in view
of the understanding which this murder
Gus savages seemed TO entertain of the
assurances given them, it was considered
best to imprison them in such manner
as to prevent their ever engaging in such
outrages again, instead Of trying them
for murder. Fort Pickens having been
selected as a safe place of confinement
all adults males were sent thither, and
will be safely guarded as prisoners In
the meantime the residue of the band
who, though still remaining upon their
reservation, were regarded as unsafe and
suspected of furnishing aid to those on
the war-path, had been removed to Fort
Marion The women and larger children
of the hostilss were also taken there and
arrangements have been made for putting
the children of proper age in Indian
schools.

on all the grounds contained in my for
mer recommendation, reinforced by the
significant increase of our gold exporta-
tions during the last year, as appears by
the comparative statement herewith pre-
sented and for the further reasons that
the more this currency is distributed
among the people, the greater becomes
our duty to protect it from disaster; that
we now have an abundance for all our needs
and that there seems but little propriety
in building vaults to store such currency
when the only pretence for its coinage,
is the necessity of its use by the people
as a circulating medium.

At HOME AGAIN.
The President and His Bride Return to
the White House,

Contrary to expectation, President
Cleveland and wife returned from Deer
Park on the Sth inst, and Immediate
ly proceeded to the White House, Mr..
Cleveland entering upon his regular
routine of duties the following day.
The President held his usual reception
at the White House in the afternoon
aud shook hands with about 200 per-
sons, including delegation from the
ST. Vincent De Paul Society. Mr.. Nc
Laughlin made short speech on be-
half of the society, and in reply the
President said he knew something of
the charitable objects of the organiza-
tion and was pleased to see its repre-
sentatives. The Rev. Mr.. Cleveland
and Miss Cleveland left Washington in
the morning for New York.
The White House remains as it was
before the wedding. There has been
no extra fitting up and no new furni-
ture has been placed in the rooms.
Mrs. Cleveland received no callers to-
day. AS early as $50 ladies began to
arrive at the mansion, all of them
anxious to meet the bride, but in each
case she declined to be seen. The an
nouncement that the President and
Mrs. Cleveland will give two receptions
shortly is received with great satisfac-
tion in social circles. A number of re-
ports are in circulation about where
and how the President and his bride
will pass the heated term. 1t was
stated at the White House, authori-
tatively, that the President has made
no plans whatever for the summer
He will remain at the White House at
tending to his official duties until after
the adjournment of Congress. In the
meantime he may decide upon the
manner of enjoying his summer vaca-

THE English laborer who recently
undertook to initiate DR.. Tanner as a
faster came to grief. He was known
as the "Fasting Man OF Guilford. 7"
Mysterious voices commanded him to
go forty days without food. He was
seventy-four years of age when he
started in to obey the strange COM
mand. He drank tea without milk or
sugar and smoked pipe incessantly.
He survived the ordeal, though re-
duced to actual skin and bones, and
celebrated his performance by making
a hearty meal off a leg of mutton
The gorging was too much for his en-
feebled stomach, and he died in q cou-
pie of days. His surviving relatives
were very much distressed, because
the old man had just received a tempt
ing offer from museum manager who
was prepared to make a guinea or two
out of his notoriety.

RETALIATION.
The Recent Orange Riots In Ireland Bear
Eruit.

Fruit.
Sligo was the scene of serious rioting
on the night of the 18th. The resi-
dence of a leading Orangeman was
burned by the mob. The military
charged and shot some Of the rioters.
Extra police have been drafted. The
rioting was originated by Catholics
who were angry because somebody
had destroyed the rails surrounding
the bishops palace. They gathered in
thousands and attacked Protestants
and molested and hooted many per-
sons. The windows of every house in
which it was known a Protestant
dwelt were smashed. Thecounty club
house, the Constitutional Club, the
Methodist manse, the residence of the
Congregational minister and several
chapels were attacked and wrecked.
The Orangemen made no attempt to
retaiate. The mayor. Nationalist,
and several Catholic magistrates,
penetrated to the front of the mob
and tried to appease the rioters, but
without avail. The riot act was then
read and the soldiers we're ordered to
clear the streets with fixed bayonets.
A general stampede ensued, during
which sixteen rioters were arrested.

A STRANGE fatality pursues the care
which Congress extends over the navy.
Nothing seems to turn out as intended,
and every patriotic effort ends in dis
aster. The House naval committee
went out the other day to investigate
the practical working of a new patent
lfeboat which it was supposed to be
desirable to adopt. They were just
getting a grasp of some ofthe principal
advantages when it turned upside
down and deposited them in the Poto-
mac. They were rescued by some OF
our brave tars, otherwise there would
have been no one to bring in an ad-
verse report on the lifeboat.

How Railroads Stimulate Inventors.

["Carp" Washington Cor. Cleveland LEADER
The cable road is a comparatively
recent invention, and there are hum
dreds OF patents filed for grips and
other things connected with it. You
would be surprised to know how
many patents are applied for for rail-
road inventions. New ideas for rails,
switches, and ties are being put for
ward every day. The railroad tie of
the future is yet to be patented. 1t
requires very good hard wood to
make tie, and this class of wood is
being fast cut out of the country.
Railroad building has reached such a
point that there is not enough wood
to supply the ties, and g. new inven-
ton has got to be made. There are
now something under 100000 miles
of railroad in the world, and about
10000 miles of these are in the
United States. Ties wear out, and
the time will come when there will be
no wood to replace them. We have
already patents given out on glass
ties, ties of iron, and ties made of pa
per and wood pulp. Another set of
articles that has been patented large
ly of late years is fences and fence
posts. The old wooden fence has seen
It's best days, and the wire fence is
rapidly taking it's place.
