The wind blew so hard that grain which

Farmers must commence at the begin

have no funds to buy seed. The gov.

Brutally Beaten by Masked Men AT Cam
nellburg Ind.
WASHINGTON, Ind, April 6--Saturday
night a mob of armed men wearing
heavy black masks went to the quiet
home of David Hosea, in the vicinity of
Cannellburg, ten miles east of here,
about 12 O'clock, and called his name.
He asked what was wanted, and was
answered by one of the crowd that they
had important business with him. The
old man went to window and saw that
instead of one man about twenty five
had collected about his door, each one
bearing a heavy hickory withe.
He Immediately barred the door and
denied them entrance. They, seeing
their scheme foiled to get Hosea OUT
voluntarily, burst the door from It's
hinges and made dash for their vic
tim,. who was soon overpowered.
Though he struggled desperately he was
dragged from the room TO a tree in the
rear of the house, where he was tied.
His back was then made bare and the
leader informed the man that he had
been attending to business that was not
his own, and that they proposed to put
q stop to it,
AT the command of the leader the men
marched up and in his turn each admin
istered several blows on the back of the
aged victim. The cries of the old man
were most pitiful when the stinging
withes lay open the flesh and caused the
blood to flow down his back When the
men finished Hosea was insensible In
this condition he was found by his
friends one-haif hour later. The whole
neighborhood is aroused, and with
Hosea's help, the desperadoes will prob,
ably be arrested and punished

WHY 1T is Held.

A senator sitting near him had asked
him for what nominal purpose the $780,
600, 900 was held in the treasury. He
would tell him. A hundred millions was
held in assumed obedience to the law Of
1882, to provide for the redemption of
legal tenders treasury notes. Sixty odd
millions were held for the redemption of
National bank notes of banks that had
gone out of business or that were re-
firing a portion of their circulation. Be-
tw cen five and six millions was held for
the redemption of such notes of National
banks as, from time to time, came into
the treasury and We're found to be unfit
for further circulation. About seven
millions were held for the purpose of the
payment of coupons due and not pre-
sented, and of debt which had matured
from time to time, but the evidence of
which had not been presented, and some
of which probably never would be pre-
sented.
As to the remainder of it, it was inn
possible to tell why it was held. He had
given all possible scrutiny to the state
ment of the treasurer, and he could not
tell. The confusion of subjects and of
amounts was such that it was impossi-
BILE for anyone to tell about it; but the
whole sum retained was about S250, ,000,-
600, 1t was enough to know that it was
not held there for any useful purpose.
He did not think that the law required
any of it to be held there except such
portion as, in the discretion of the secre-
tary, was necessary to meet the obliga-
tions of the government He (Mr.
Plumb admitted that the secretary
might, even under that theory, hold as
large a sum as was now in the treasury,

More Money Needed.

From every quarter there was abund-
ant evidence that the public needed more
money for the transaction of its busi-
Esss, and that this money in the treas
ury should be disbursed For all useful
purposes it might as well be in the bot
tom of the sea as in the treasury. Dur
ing last year nearly $40, 900, 900 of Ma
tional bank circulation had been with
drawn. To meet that reduction there
was, of course, the coinage of silver
two millions a month.and the coinage
of gold, but experience showed that not
only were these two agencies needed,
but that there was also needed paper
money to the maximum amount out
standing at any time The business of
the country was languishing. New en-
terprises were withheld. Old enterprises
We're struggling to keep on their feet.
And there was dread and terror and ap-
prehension where there ought to be
hopefulness, helpfulness and enterprise.
That condition of things would con-
tinue until the remedy was attained.
and that remedy could only come by
legislation, because legislation, com
bined with executive action, had
brought the country to where it now
was. Congress would legislate some of
these days on the silver question, but no
one knew when and no one knew how.
Whatever was done would result in
great addition to the money of the coun-
try. But this measure of his, or some
thing like it, would give an addition at
once, and the money could be disbursed

after its next meeting. He did not care
whether the committee reported il
favorably or adversely so long as the
senate would have a chance to vote on
the retention of that large sum of money
in the treasury for no useful purpose.

Still Unsettled.

Sir James Ferguson, under foreign
secretary, stated in the house of com
mons Monday evening that some points in
the negotiations with Portugal remained
unsettled, including the questions of the
Delagoa Bay railway and with reference
to Mashonaland. He said he would not
doubt the loyalty of the Portuguese gov
ernment in adhering to its engagements.
The rumor of a fresh expedition appear
ed to be unfounded kilograms from
Mozambique made no mention of such
movement.
The Portuguese minister of marine
hoa teleSrophod ordrrr 10 Withdraw any
proposed expedition, while the Portu-
giese government had declared that it
would sanction no fresh action pending
the negotiations. With reference TO the
new expedition under Emin Pasha, the
German government had sent assur-
ances that Emin intended to operate
only within the German sphere. It was
not sought to prejudice British interests.

Present Circulation.

He said that there was less than S7O0,
900, 600 of circulation for the use of the
65, 100000 of people of the United States,
probably not more than $40 per capita.
The system of finance that had been
built up and maintained had brought
about that result 1t had its merits and
it had its great defects. One of the
greatest of those defects was the COM
pulsory holding in the treasury of that
very large sum of money on the theory
that it was needed-a theory confuted
by every known fact-and ON the fur
ther theory that the secretary of the
treasury was to be the arbiter of the
financial questions of the people, 1t
had been stated in the public prints that,
in pursuance of his policy of controlling
the finances of the country, the secreta.
ry of the treasury had contracted the
currency during the month of February
over $l0,000,0OO. He (Ir. Plumb) be-
lieved that that retention of money in
the treasury and that assumption on the
part of the secretary to do what might
have been once proper, but which now
constitutes menace to the business of
the country, ought to be prohibited by
law.
