Secretary WINDOWS Efforts to Increase
the Circulation.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1O-The treasury de-
partment to-day purchased SO, S91, 900 4 per
cent bonds under the terms of the circular
issued Saturday last, at prices ranging from
SLY to $1.234. The department also pur-
chased about 100000 ounces of silver to-
day.
The amount of per cent bonds accented
to-day under, the circular of Dec. g. was
81, 59l, 600, for which a disbursement of
about S., $50, 600 in money will be made.
The secretary of the treasury said this aft
ernoon that in view OF all the conditions.
he would accept additional offers of As at a
reasonable price, of sufficient amount to
make the total purchases $8,OoO,OOO. for
which he said the expenditures will be
nearly $10,O00OOO.
The secretary said further that it was
manl1estly impossible under existing con-
dltlons tor him to use the fractional cur
rency now in the treasury in the purchase
of bonds for the reason that it would at
once be returned to him in exchange for
greenbacks. and leave him with deficiency
Instead of surplus. There is now about
$l9 1000 of fractional currency in the
treasury, of which all but 50, 600 is in silver
half dollars. AS it is legal tender to the
amount of $40 only, it is not regarded as a
part OF the available cash balance. The
secretary said he would like very much to
get 1t into circulation, but that he certainly
should not do so at the expense of his linn
TIED available surplus.

After the RattIa

Wide DER the field dread horrors brood:
The wounded thick are lying;
The earth drinks up a purple flood
That gurgles from the dying.
How changed from mornings bright array
OF martial pride and glory!
The pomp of war has passed away
And left it's laures CORY
The prancing steeds. the trumpet's blare.
The charge and sabers clashing
No longer charm with honor's glare,
Nor cannon's roar and flashing.
The eyes have lost their fiery glow,
The voice it's clarion pealng:
The flying pulse is beating slow, 49,. ..
The heart almost congealing.
Aceldama! oh, fitting name
10 mark the s:snglline story;
And yet twill give to endless fame,
And crown the dead with glory.
These heroes met the sweeping tide,
And, with supreme en0eavor, -
They victory won. though thousands died
But Freedom lives forever
1t was quick and deadly fight
That sent the foemen flying,
Accusing cheers of wild delight ....
From lips grown pale in dying
Another charge must now be made.
The turf III burrows heaping E,E
When every mound that specks the glade
Will mark heros sleeping
Aye, bury them with tender care
Brave heroes! how we love theml
Where generations may repair,
TO deck the turf above them.
While history shall their deeds repent.
Song hold their fame in keeping.
Our love shall keen their memory sweet
And guard their hallowed sleeping.

The Argentine Situation.

LONDON, Dec.1O.-Dispatches fromBuenos

striking contrast to the lavish and buoyant

HOLDEN MUST HANG.
me Country's Highest Court Decides the
Smith Law Constitutional

The Country's Highest Court Decides the
Smith Law Constitutional.
WASHINGTON, Dec 10.-Clifton Holden, the
heo"ooo Fails murderer, must hang. The
Onlled states supreme court to- day affirmed
the decision of the Minnesota court. BY
inns decision the John Day Smith execution
law is declared constitutional.
This case has attracted good deal of at
tentlon by reason Of its arising under a
state statute forbidding newspapers to print
accounts Of hangings, Holden was con-
Vlcted OF murder committed Nov. 49, 1888.
and the governor commanded the sheriff to
hang him conformably to the provisions
OF section of an act passed in April
1889. This act among other things pre-
scribed solitary confinement, limited the
number OF persons to be present at hang
lngs, specially excluding reporters, and for
pade newspapers to publish more than a
mere statement that any person was
hanged: Counsel contended that the pro
VISION Tor solitary confinement in Holden's
was no saving clause in the new law, he
could not be held under the old law.
Inc court holds that this last point is
not we'll taken for the reason that the
statute repealed only inconsistent prior
enactments, and was therefore good as to
CONSISTENT enactments. Mere questions as
to exclusion of persons, the court says, do
not al1 GS any substantial right Of the con-
Wet. The limitations as to the humber
and character Of those who might
witness the execution, and the exclusio on of
newspaper men are regulations which
the legislature in its wisdom and for the
public good. could legally prescribe The
only part Of the law that may be deemed
ex post facto is that prescribing solitary
confinement, and there is no proof that
Holden is SO confined. The court cannot
indulge the presumption that he is in soil
tary confinement. The governors warrant
does not require any such proceeding, for
that is not among the provisions OF section
3 of the act.
