I'm effort rs being made to get ND
trouble between the United States and
Mexico over the arrest of a tramp NAM
ed Cutting, guilty. Of writing treason
able articles in the FL Paso papers. II
appears that he was caught ut Paso del
Norte, Mexico, and imprisoned. and
when his release was demanded bv the
United States authorities at Fl Paso. il
WAS refused. The people of the two
towns are getting considerably worked
up and local war is threatened. Cut-
ting Is said to be meddlesome indiyid-
ual and the notoriety he is getting is
exactly what he has been thirsting for
His record In Kansas City, Mo, was
not good, and many people there who
knew him are of the opinion that he is
not the kind of man the United States
should go To war about.

PAYING THE DEBT.

The democratic house OF representa-
tives adopted the Morrison resolution
app OPERATING 10 he payment of Il Q IN
teres b airing debt the nusei and I'M
necessary surplus in the national treas
ury, as follows:
ReSOlrod, by the senate and house
OF representatives of thel Unit
ed States of America in congress
assembled, that whenever the surplus
or balance in the treasury, including
amount held for redemption of United
states notes, shall exceed the sum of
SlOO,OOO,OOO, 1t shall be and is hereby
made the duty Of the secretary of the
treasury to apply for such excess, in
sums not less than 100000 per
month, during the existence OF any
such surplus or excess, to the payment
OF tue interest bearing ind ID @ ines of
the United States, payable at the op-
ton OF the government. The surplus
or balance herein referred to shall be
the available surplus, ascertained ac-
cording to the form of the statement of
the United states treasury, of the as
sets and liabilities of the treasury of
the United States employed June so,
1856.
Dub NhN AtpubllCdl Stildle would not
have it that way and its committee has
added this amendment:
Provided that no call shall be made
under the provisions of this resolution
till sum equal to the call is in III
treasury over and above the reserve
herein mentioned; and provided furth +
that the see. etary Of tie treasury i'm his
discretion may have in the treasury
over and above the foregoing SIN the
weekly balance not exceeding 81. 900 600
and In case Of any extraordinary emer-
gency and when because thereof the
public interests shall require it he may.
by written order, suspend the further
call for the payment of such indeb ed
ness for such period OF time as shall be
necessary To maintain the public credit
unimpaired.
1t would have been best had the res
olution remained without amendment;
but il is better that it pass in its pres
ent shape than not at all; and if the
president does not sanction it, he will
hear fromiir in no uncertain sounds.

IL appears that G. Wood Davis, the
railroad builder, Ton paper puts up
money when necessary TO carry bonds.
In Mcpherson county proposition was
submitted for bonds. One Murphy, of
the railroad comm&ttec, teIegraphed in
the name Of the committee, 10 Davis
that money was needed To carry the
bonds, and fJw days afterwards. in
Newton, Davis gave Murphy a large
sum Of money, and then learned that
the expenditure was unnecessary as
tho bonds would carry anyway. lie
then learned that Murphy had left the
country and he had the telegraph op-
orator at Canton arrested as an accom-
pllce, inasmuch as be had sent tho
dispatches for Murphy; but there is
little probability OF his beicg punished.
Murphy had authority To sign the
names of the other members Of the
railroad committee TO correspondence
relating TO the bends.

The city Of Harper is having trouble
about its city debt. According to the
Graphic's figures, the Indebtedness of
the city in 1885 was Sll 800; but a special
committee appointed to investigate the
matter a few weeks since reported the
Indebtedness to be sd eco. A vote
was taken on the Goth inst, and the
proposition to fund the debt into bonds
was carried; but some interested citi-
zen obtained an injunction to restrain
the issuance of the bonds, and the city
is i'm quandary rs to what must be
done. 1t appears that the debt was
created by Harper in its effort to
down" Anthony; in building use
less court house, in advertising the
town, and in paying for cattle trail.
y year or two since and nothing was
two good for Harper. AS one of it's
citizens remarked to us once: "When
we want to pay for cattle trail, we
simply increase the salary of our city
attorney two thousand dollars, and in.
stead of giving him the money we pay
it for the right of way OIL the trail" If
that was their way of doing business,
it would be no surprise if the debt was
$4,000. Medicine Lodge has never
made any effort to ''cut a wide swath, :"
but she has prospered, nevertheless,
and has no city debt, either.

Speaking of the recent general order
from the president to office holders,
warning them not to show activity in
politics, the New York Sun sensiby
says: Nobody will ever persuade any
considerable part of the American peo-
pie that activity on the part Of an office
holder is pernicious or worthy of pun
ishment so long as ii neither violates
any law nor interferes with the efficient
discharge % official duties" And that
view ~ the ease Is right.
