against future demands at time when, like
the present, such action will be least felt
Moreover, there are about S5l. 000, 600
Of these ~ per cent bonds outstand-
ing, of which over twenty-four million dol
lars are held by national banks as a basis
for circulation, and number of prominent
bank officials have taken particular pains to
impress the secretary with the advantage
of extending these bonds, temporarily
at least, at per cent; thus
saving the banks the necessity
of further contraction in circulation,
and relieving the treasury of the obligation
of redeeming all or part Of the SOL. 200. 600,
should such course be deemed convenient
to the government. These considerations
alone are sufficient to Justify the temporary
suspension of bond purchases. The appre-
tensions, however, that the treasury will
be unable to meet its obligations are al
together groundless, and can only be at
tributed to ignorance, else to rumors circu-
lated for speculative and political effect. The
fear of intrenchment upon the traditional
500, OO0.OO0 gold reserve arises only from
lack of knowledge as to the tTeaSUry's real
condition. AT the present time there is in
the treasury over Sl42, coo, 900 gold in excess
of gold certificates outstanding. The banks
hold S2S, 900, 600 of government deposits: in
addition to which the treasury holds about
$50, G000O0 of fractional silver and about
sl5,000,0 600 against which no certificates
have been issued. Excluding the 500, 0O0,-
600 gold held for redemption of United
States notes, here are resources available
of not less than sl05, 100000. 1t is quite
true that the demands upon the treasury
will be enormous at time when IT'S income
will be curtailed by the adjustment Of
sugar duties. 1t is quite true, also. that
those demands will oblige prudent manage
ment OF the nations finances; but the re-
sources of our fiscal machinery are varied
and ample enough to meet every difficulty.
1t should not be overlooked that many of
the liabilities incurred by recent legislation
enormous as they are, cannot all become
due in a single year Payments upon many
of these appropriations, particularly those
on public works, necessarily extend over a
considerable period, and are not made in
the lump; besides, the government can and
always does consult its own convenience in
rent obligations. Differences of opinion
gance of a congress which imposed such a
burden upon the treasury: and in certain
quarters efforts are certainly being made TO
exaggerate the changes in policy thus i'm
posed: but all fears respecting the latter's
ability to meet every probable demanded are
too absurd TO deserve serious consideration.
a good deal Of speculative capital will be
made out of any new departure in treasury
policy which circumstances may require,
but those who are banking upon the posi-
bility of the United States entering the
market as a borrower next fall are likely to
find themselves very much deceived.

The Manufacturing Situation.

The Boston Commercial Bulletin of Sat
urday last says: The shoe factories con-
tlnue to be very moderately employed and
though they have fair amount of orders
ahead, business is not what it should be at
the present time. There is not much build
ing In the industry at present and but three
new shops are reported this week, two of
when are only contemplated. OF course
there are all the time more or less changes
belnG made, but the building boom seems to
have subsidized. As noticed in the Bulletin,
there were many new factories put in oper-
alton the first of the year and as these are
only partially employed not much encour-
agement is afforded manufacturers to start
new shops under the present condition of
the market
The efforts on the part of the window
glass manufacturer to advance their pro-
duct, have been successful. and that article
was advanced in price this week 10 or
~ per cent on previous quotations.
This advance is the outcome of more or less
agitation of the subject by the makers
There has for long time been division of
opinion on the part of producers whether
1t was advisable, and not until recently was
the question decided. 1t is TO be hoped that
an arrangement by the various makers
OF wlndaw glass can be formed strong
enough to keep prices up, for the market
has been In terribly unsettled state the
past year through rate cutting.

Special to the Gazette.


NEW YORK, May 5.-London prices were
higher, owing to cables from this side tell
ing of the better outlook for tomorrow
meeting. Our market opened strong, but
quickly sold of again to yesterdays closing
prices.
Chicago gas was very strong. Atchison
has been distributed about the streets that
it will advance several points, owing to the
fine prospects indicated by its statement
published yesterday.
Missouri Pacific was rather firm. So
much nonsense was talked to-day about
cold weather and frost that an intelligent
from representative of the granger ele-
ment in Wall street: The winter wheat
crop, which is seeded in October, has
passed through a severe winter, under
good thick covering of snow Frost would
not hurt this crop, which is a hardy one
and will ripen about June. The spring
crop, on the other hand, has just been
seeded.
The effect of frost on the ground now
will be to send the growth of the seed
further down and may delay wheat two or
three days. 1t will then be stronger and
better able to resist any further bad
weather.
The bond market was dull and featureless.
Prices as rule were shade lower. Prices
fell off sharply in the afternoon.
The active stocks were l per cent below
yesterdays close. The market closed active
and weak. Closings were generally below
Yesterdays. Advances and decline for the

COTTON RECEIPTS.
The Growth of the South Demonstrated
by Cotton Receipts, which Are
S,149,91S Bales.
Special to the Gazette.

NEW YORK, May 5.-The growth Of the
south is shown by the fact that the receipts
OF cotton, at the lowest prices had for years.
were larger last month than in any previ-
Gus April. 1t shows that after two good
crops the farmers were able to hold on for
good prices, and that they quickly appre-
ciated chance and were not anxious to be
caught with too much on hand Already
receipts have been nearly million bales in
excess over the same time last year. While
exports were IL per cent greater in the first
eight months of the year. cotton marketed
was s.149, 91S bales, or more than one million
bales in excess Of the amount up to that
time last year, which was the largest ever
known up to that time.

MORuR, Ala December 26 A special
from Butler, says that while the sheriff and

companions 20 Jail at that place, the party
wa attacked by large baud Of well armed
citizens who seized Bob Sims. Tom Savage
and his son, a lad of about 10 years of age
and hanged them to trees nearby.
= telegram received this morning from De
Soto, Miss, announced the surrender Of Bob
sims 10 the sheriff posse.
The sheriff had obtained a cannon, and
rained it upon the despersdos house before
the latter gave up.
The outlaw sought parley, Offering to
surrender if the sheriff would guarantee
him protection from the members of the
posse. There was a long debate on this
point, but finally it was agreed that the
Simsites should be carefully guarded to the
oOunty jail.
AT 4:30 o'clock this morning the Simsites
aid down their arms, and Bob Sims
Thomas Savage and young Savage, Bob
sims wife and three daughters, came out OF
be house. The men were pui in irons and
he women under guard, and all of them
tsrted to Butler, the county seat.
There was fear that some outsiders, who

rha House commIttees.

The composition Of the Ways and Means
Committee is yindicatiOn Of the Nckih-
lev Tariff hill from Democrats and BY
Democrats. Mr.. Springer, the chairman
and governing spirit Of the committee
recently announced bis views upon the
proper policy for the Democrats in this
Congress 10 pursue in respect 10 the tariff. Il
was the policy Of tariff tnkering." In other
words. under Springer's leadership, with
Crisp IS Speaker, the Democrats take the
new position that sfter all the Mckinley
tariff is not as they painted it. and assert
that they can amend il in 8 few particulars
40 as 10 make it acceptable to the whole
popnlace. This is tremendous change from
the repeatedly reiterated assertions Of Dem
ocrafie leaders and press for twelTenonth
before the Speakership contest came on that
the Mckinley bill must and should be
repealed. It has been brought about Dy the
growing knowledge among the people that
the present tariff law is beneficial Il viii
result in the utter rout Of the Democracy IN
the national election next year, because
American citizens hate oowsrdice, despise
hypocrisy and believe in the doctrine OF
letting well enough alone. Thisis the situa-
ton in Denocrrtic House as TO the greatest
OF national issues.
On the silver question, the appointment
OF that ancient national silver crank Mr..
Bland, as chairman of the Committee on
Coinage, Weights and Measures, is sufficient
proof that free silver coinage is to be the order
in the House. 1t is corroboraied, however,
by the knowledge that, according to the recent
careful canvass Of Congress on free silver IN
/ The Press. nine out Of the thirteen members
I Of this committee are openly ayowed and
ardent advocates Of free coinage Of silver.
Thus we are to have t5e demonstration
made in the national Congress, Democratic
by 80 majority, that the Democratic party
Is in favor Of tariff tinkering and Of the
! deluce Of white metal II is with silver as
with the tariff. The downward tendency Of
the bullion price Of silver all over the world
will startle the laborer, the farmer, the artisan
the workers in various branches Of manufae-
ture and men in professional and business
walks at the proposition that they shall be
compelled under free silver coinage act to
take seventy cent dollar instead Of dollal
that is worth 100 cents. They viii want to
have well enough let alone when they com
prehend the position the Democrats must
take under such leadership.
There are other chairmsnships that show
tendencies which It IS doubtful the country
will approve Mr.. Holman, as the head o
the Appropriation Committee, Is prepared
literally to hamper every government de
partment OF bureau, and cripple the entir'
public service to makea show Of false econo
my, which in previous Democratic Congress
Is has sent enormous deficiencies over TO Re
publican Congresses TO be met by deficienc.
bills. This is not penurious nation, but on
jealous OF good public service, and willin
10 pay for its advantages in that respect
