Farwell's Financial Ideas.

CHICAGO, September Ex-senator c. B
Farwell, of this city, writes the following
letter to the Inter-Ocean from Waukesha,
Wisconsin:
81 see good deal said in the papers about
the tightness in the money market, and that
Secretary Window has been called upon to
relieve it. The finances of the country can
never be in healthy condition when it is
required that the secretary of the treasury
shall be asked to step in and relieve strin
gency which periodically occurs. No one
man should have it in his power to make
money cheap or dear. The government ls
collecting more money than it spends, SO
that according to the last treasury state
ment there is now locked up in the various
sub-treasuries of the country $1O7 600, 600
The total amount in the various sub-treas-
uries Is something over 500, 100000, and the
government holds as security for this vast
sum of money the bonds of the respective
sub-treasury, signed by their friends for
about one fortieth of this amount. Now if
these sub-treasuries could be wholly abol-
ished and money deposited in the national
banks, with adequate security taken for the
whole amount instead of one-fortieth, which
is now given by those who now hold this
money, Mr.. Window woul not be required
to go into Wall street to regulate the finances.
The money would be safer than it now is
and half a million of money per annum
would be saved by the abolition of this sys-
tenn. There never was any good reason for
the establishment of the sub-treasury sys-
tenn, and it ought to be forthwith repealed.

SALT LAKE CITY, September 0.-The Utah
commission has forwarded to the secretary
of the interior lengthy report of its opera
tons and proceedings FOR the year ending
September 1, 1880. The principal feature of
the report Is the recommendation of further
legislation in support of the existing laws.
After reviewing the elections held in Utah
since their last report the commissioners say:
..During the year there have been frequent
expressions of the hope that the church would
in some authoritative and explicit manner
declare in favor of the abandonment of
polygamy or plural marriage. as one of the
saving doctrines or teachings of the church.
but no such declaration has been made.
There is little use for doubling, so complete
is the control of the church over its people,
that if such declaration were made by
those In authority it would be accepted and
followed BY large majority Of the member

Wichita Fixed.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, September 20.-At the
August meeting of the Trans Missouri
Freight association J. E. Howard, dealer
of Wichita, appeared before the association
and made a statement abiding to discrimin-
alton against the Wichita market in the mat
ter of live stock rates. He made application
for fair adjustment of the rates. The asso-
citation gave him no satisfaction. Mr.. How
ard then presented his case to the Kansas
board of railway commissioners. The COM
mission recognized the Justice of his appeal
and summoned the chairman of the associa-
ton before it to show cause why dlscrimlna-
tive rates should not be replaced by fair
rates. At the regular meeting of the Trans
Missouri association the Wichita rates were
adjusted on such basis as to place Wichita
on an equal footing with other markets.

checks. From 1869 to 1873 he paid off in

Since that time Mr.. Moore has conducted

The Big Pap Withdrawn.

TALEoUAH, l. T., September 1.-the let
ter to Treasurer Rocks, of the Cherokee ma
lion, to Chief Mayes, notifying him in an
official way that the cattlemen had not met
The semi-annual payment, brought about a
CORRESPONDENCE between Chief Mayes and E.
NJ. Hewins, of the Cherokee Strip Live Stock
association. Mr.. Hewins' reply to the chiefs
demands for the payment said: IF the
Cherokee nation can show US any protection,
giving US the use of the country according
to contract, We are only too willing to COM
ply with our contract, ETC."
Chief Mayes has made no reply to this let
ter of Mr.. Hewins, but has made an appeal
TO Hon. I. j. Morgan. commissioner Of In
dian affairs, in which he says, after giving a
list of Cherokee institutions needing sup
port:
..We have a regular annuity of about $780,
900. This annuity has failed for many years
to meet the expenses of our educational sys-
tenn and the demands for the maintenance
of our public institutions. Bot this def
cheney has been met by our internal reve-
nues and the sales of lands, among which is
the revenue derived from our grazing lands
west of the Arkansas river. For five years
preceding the last two years our nation re-
allied 100000 per annum for this grazing
privilege. and for the last two years the
per annum for this privilege.
''The order of President Harrison order
ing men from our grazing lands. from which
we have been deriving revenue for many
years, seems from the correspondence here
with submitted to have the effect to deprive
our people of the $4,000 revenue. Now
doubt if you can conceive the real burden
that will be put upon the Cherokees in de-
priving them of this revenue to run their
public institutions and government, that
had just begun to put on good and whole
some appearance. after going through the
trials of destructive war.
The greater part of our present crops are
already destroyed by the great drouth now
prevailing in this section and our people are
already suffering from the effects of it. Now,
in this season of suffering, will your govern
ment take from our people this much needed
revenue? Is this charity?
81 see that the president has recommended
that the people of Oklahoma be provided for
in this, their hour of distress; how strange
that we, their neighbors, must be deprived
of that which is justly ours-and by his Or
der. We can only make these pitiful appeals
to you; our mouths are shut off from your
courts of justice.
''The Cherokees are losing faith in your
government and the teachings of the mis-
sionaries will certainly lose Its force with the
Indians, if by the order of one man the
Cherokees are to be treated In this manner.
The Cherokees are not asking for charity,
they only ask for that which is theirs"

Curious congressman.

WASHINGTON, D. c., September S.-Sen-
ator Plumb's resolution calling on Secretary
Window for an official statement on the re-
taken by the treasury department to relieve
it was what good many congressman had
in mind to do.
The treasury has succeeded in overcoming
the artificial stringency, yet the Wall street
spectators are already planning another
tight money campaign and are prophesying
that when they put on the screws the next
time Secretary Window, by his own state
ment, won't be aole to relieve the situation.
If the Wall street spectators have the sec
rotary of the treasury in their power, and do
not hesitate to wreck and ruin business all
over the country, congressman want to
know it.

lated that during the past month over $1,000
such miSsives have been received. Someone
just who remains a secret at the present
time-has taken the trouble to collect the
letters in question and print them IN PAM
phlet form. A general depot has been estab-
Gshed and their distribution. free of charge,
arranged for. Some 10000 have already
gone through the mails and the present and
prospective demand has warranted the
friends of the secretary of state in giving an
order to the printers for second edition OF

Public Spirited Railroads.

INDIANAPOLIS, ND, September S.-The
railroads centering here are doing a great
deal to enhance the growth and prosperity Of
this city. The managers of the various roads
are more enterprislng and public spirited
than the citizens themselves.
Besides the magnificent new Union station.
but lately completed, the finest structure of
the kind IN the country, large additions are
in contemplation to several of the shops, and
now the companies offer TO construct mag
nifcent and very costly viaduct o.er their
tracks at the Virginia avenue crossing. Mr..
Ingalls,, of the Big Four, is at the head of
the enterprise.

Important Work Yet Not Done.


CREssoN SPRINGS, Pa, September 1.-THE
river and harbor Appropriation bill will be
sent to the president here. He is familiar
with it and will require but short time to act
upon it.
There is every reason to believe that the
president is seriously considering the advisa-
bility of calling an extra session of congress.
1t is known that several prominent republic
cans have advised such course with a view
to an earlier consideration of the federal
election bill. Persons who have talked with
the president on the subject, say he will GER
tainly reconvene congress if certain pending
measures III which he takes great interest,
are not disposed of at this session. These
include the anti lottery bill, the supreme
court bill and the labor bills now in the SEN
ate. and the postal shipping bill now await
ing the action of the house.
The president is known to be snecially in
interested in the passage of the election bill,
and would probably feel justified in calling
an extra session for the consideration of it
and such other of the important measures
now pending as may not be disposed of at
this session.
