\ PaIpable Fraud Contemplated by Sec

PaIpable Fraud Contemplated by Sec
rotary Foster.
Reports from Washington and the re-
cent visit of Secretary Foster to New
York point to a state of affairs in the
treasury that causes some solicitude to
the department officers. 1t is an easy
matter for the president to laud the
generosity of congress in his southern
speeches. but further north, at WASH
ington, the presidents subordinates
are finding it hard to make both ends
meet The billion dollar congress has
begun to strain the treasury's resources.
1t is frankly conceded that in Sep
? TENDER the government will be una BILE
to meet its debts. In that month fifty
two million dollars of four and half
per cent. bonds will become due and
the treasury will not have enough
money to pay them. Secretary Foster,
accordingly. proposes to take the law
into his own hands, override congress
and devise temporary malleshift to
conceal the deficit Of the fifty-two
million dollar bonds which come due
in September about one-half are held
as the basis for national bank note
circulation. The banks are willing to
keep these bonds even afte they are
due, provided the governn It will
allow even a small rate of interest.
Without the shadow even of war;. Mt
of law Secretary Foster proposes to ex
tend these bonds for a number of years,
reducing the interest to two per cent.
While the scheme may have merit as
a financial device, it is a palpable fraud
on the people. First, it will deceive
them as to the actual state of their
treasury. The people are entitled to
know what money congress has voted
into and out of the treasury. Secretary
Fosters financiering covers up that
knowledge. Second. it is an unlawful
exercise of power by the secretary of
the treasury. BY what warrant does
he assume, independent of congress, to
refund one dollar of the public debt?
What right has he to stop payments for
the sinking fund, as it is announced
that he proposes to do? Measures to
accomplish both of these purposes were
before the late congress, and every in
telligent democratic newspaper then
pointed out that they were made neces-
sary by the extravaganza of congress
itself. The republican majority failed
TO pass those measures. they ran away
from Washington without making the
usual statement of the total appropria-
tons, and the republican party now
calls on the secretary of the treasury,
in viola ton of law. to cover up and con-
ceal the havoc wrought by congress.
The republican party will go into the
next campaign with a deficit in the
treasury staring it in the face.-Albany

ANTI ITALIAN RIOT.
American Laborers Attack n Camp.

American Laborers Attack n Camp.
Police investigation has developed
the fact that the riot at Chain of Rocks
near st. Louis was not tho result OF n
factional fight between Italians, but
arose from hard feelings caused by the
arrival of Italians at the camp. The
riot was made by American workmen.
The Italians were driven from camp,
their valuables and money contiscated
by the gang of American laborers max
ing the attack, and u panic inaugur-
ated. So serious were the proportions
assumed by the affair that Italian Con-
sui Ginocchi in st. Louis called on
Chief of Police Harrigan at four courts
demanding police protection for his
countrymen and the beginning OF an
official investigation The contractor
at the works has also asked for police
protection. There are likely to be SER
ious consequences arising from the
bloody anti-Italian raid and rigid
and searce.ng investigation is under
way. Some of the American laborers
thought to have been implicateb in the
riot arc already under arrest. The
Italians driven from the camp are now
in refuge in St. Louis city. Whisky
played great part in the affair, and
the Malta cry was used TO incite the
American laborers to riot.

Claiming the Courts.

In spite of the lack Of faith in GER
tain juries IN New Orleans the people
there keep up a custom which is in
dicative OF the deepest respect for the
courts. Visitors to the city are apt to
encounter chains stretched across i'm
portant streets and traffic suspended
thereon. Inquiry brings the answer
that the streets are closed because they
lead by tho courts and the courts are
in session. When the courts adjourn
the chains ARE tossed aside and traffic
goes on again.
