FULMINATING ANOTHER MESSAGE.
Ihe republican senators expect to see the
president issue another political message be-
fore the end of the campaign. The one on
the fisheries treaty is regarded but fore
taste of what is TO come. The next one is ex-
pected to deal with the tariff and to be highly
sensational, intended to influence the voters
in other sections. The message on the
fisheries treaty was expected to affect the
foreign born voters in New York more espe-
cially, while the message on the tariff will be
directed specifically toward the doubtful
states in every section. The president, up
to this time, has given no appreciable atten-
tion TO three or four of the southern states,
which the republicans regard as extremely
doubtful, and the next message may have a
little ginger in it for the southern section
The president is among those of his party
who believe that there is good fighting
chance for the democrats in Michigan, Iowa,
and Minnesota. He regards the outlook in
New York as very doubtful, but thinks his
fisheries message will stiffen up the pros
poets there
The work of the force of employees in the
pension Office in the compilation of pam
phlet to stffen up the presidents vetoes of
pension bills, is intended to "copper" the
soldier vote, and counteract the influence be-
ing eXerted by the Grand Army of the Re
public, the Loyal Legion, the Sons of Veter-
ans, and other societies now denouncing the
presidents policy in relation to general and
private pensions. II will be remembered
that about two months ago the president took
occasion, in vetoing private pension bill, to
answer Senator Davis observations on the
subject of pension vetoes, when the latter re-
ported from the committee on pensions to the
senate bill which was vetoed, and which
was recommended for adoption over the
presidents disapproval. The chief executive
has shown, on number of occasions, that
he has not only the disposition but a good
deal of the ability to strike back at congress,
and to contend for the position he occupies.
The democrats in both houses have been intl-
mating broadly for several days that the next
message of the presidents will be "a ripper"
and that he will answer every material charge
brought against him i'll his relation to legls-
| laton which he has fought in congress, and
that it Will contain many sensational ele-
ments.
FEDERAL MONEY IN NEBRASKA AND IOWA BANKS
| In view of the proposed Investigation made
| by Representative Mason, of Chicago into
the charge that the administration has loaned
| large sums of money to national banks with
| the understanding that they would make lib
| eral contributions to the campaign fund, it is
| interesting to know where this money has
| been placed. Altogether the direct loans to
| banks amount to S56, 6,O1S,OOO, while there was
| on deposit in national banks in addition to
this on the 1st of August S54, 4,475,O55 The
| latter sum was deposited by federal officers
| collectors of internal revenue customs du-
| ties, etc. The two heads under which this
money Is held by the various national banks
| are public monies held by banks,n which
| means deposited by federal officers, and
"money held by United States repositories, VI
| which means that the money is loaned to the
| banks by the government upon the
| security of United States bonds, and
it has no connection whatever with
| the regular circulation of national
banks, which is based on deposits with the
| United States treasurer. In Nebraska and
Iowa the governments money is held in
| national banks as follows: Citizens National
| Bank of Davenport, Iowa deposits from
federal officers, $4,000 80; loans from the
government, $4,000; First National Bank oi
Omaha-deposits from federal officers, $l7l,
5S7.23; loans from the government, Si75,OOO
posits from federal officers. S200000; loans
from the government, $4,000 Nebrasks
National bank, Omaha-deposits from fedora
officers, Sl3S, ,674.32; loans from the govern
mcnt, $l30,00O; Omaha National bank
Omaha--deposits from federal officers, Sl56,

| AFFECTING INLAND PORTS OF ENTRIES.
A bill was introduced in the senate to-day
by Senator Farwell of Chicago which will b.
| of especial interest to every inland port o
entry and all importers. 1t proposes to per
nit importers to divide imports when the,
arrive at the first port of entry and to shil
part of the goods in bond on the basis o
the original bill of lading and inventor,
without the issuance of additional docu
ments, the duties to be paid at the port o
destination and to permit the importer to re
| ceive the goods which are not shipped to an
| inland port or to send them into a warehous
for the usual detention.
