No rare scene in the recorders once Is
James W. Hanna gathering from all quarters
Of the Office the disintegrated remains Of
Index No. i. This book is in a mournful con-
dition, consisting Of a mass Of dropping,
ragged paper. each page "doing Susiness for
itself" having no claim to portion Of real
book. while the whole is barely legible from
figure marks and the steady accumulation
of earthly matter for generations.
"Whsre are those new indices5" asked the
NORTHWEST of him, as he got the leaves in
one pile resembling a collection of thous-
and different versions of the moral law.
'Yes, mean those new indices there was so
much howl about, and if 1 am not mistaken
you we're ordered to prepare" the reporter
continued as blank look stole over Jim's
face and he showed no signs of enlightening
his questioner.
''Well," he finally squeezed out, with me
it is case of 'Barcus is willin' for it is evil
dent that the county Is in need of new set.
But am under the commissioners orders
and until receive their instructions can not
begin the work. Therefore, don't come to
me with your troubles young man; having
considerable indexing to do today yes,
his visitor realized that, and silently pursued
his search through the antiquated leaves.

Mr.. CLEVELAND is credited with great cour-
age for stating an honest conviction. This
conviction is held by the mass of citizens
who have given thought to questions of
finance. But many persons ready to embrace
any promise of betterment in their money
condition or harassed by debt and eager to
escape at the minimum cost, jump at the con-
clusion that unlimited silver will greatly al d
them. They are men of both parties, and
politicians anxious for their votes are in
clined to trim on a question which breaks
over party lines and presents many difficult
ties. AS Mr.. Cleveland is looked to as a
strong candidate in 1892, and may reasonably
be credited with ambition to succeed should
he be named, the demagogues regard it as
marvellous that upon this moot point he
should speak his mind. There was never
reason to doubt that the author of the tariff
message of 1887 would speak his convictions
under all circumstances. The silver question
will not be settled at the dictum of the silver
producing states. Coinage of this metal will
continue and it will be full legal tender save
where otherwise stipulated. The country
will no doubt go in this direction as far as it
can with safety, but it is hardly within the
probabilities that it will extend an invitation
to the world to dump its silver product into
United States mints, putting in 70 or 80
cents and taking out a dollar.-Ee.

APPORTIONMENT OF TAXES TO
TOWNSHIPS AND VILLAGES.
The Amount to Which Each School
District and Village is Entitled
According to the February Set
tlement,

The following figures are taken from the
auditors books and speak for themselves.
While some districts no larger than others re-
quire more funds for the schools, it is no re-
Election on the management. They either
have greater number of pupils, more expen-
sive buildings, or the condition of the schools
in much higher standard than those requir-
ing less amount for that operation. Eventu-
ally there is no gain in curtailing expenses
connected with schools. The sooner this is
comprehended the sooner institutions of pub
lie instruction will attain that degree of ex-
cellence which is the true aim of our govern
ment as government of free people governed
by themselves. In many districts it has be-
come the precedent to actually take bids for
school teachers With such ignorance pre-
dominant, schools in scuh benighted districts
can not help but be inferior.
From Freedom, Ridgeville, Liberty and
Washington townships. Fulton county is al
lowed a certain amount from the sale of Sec
tion 16. "a comprehensive explanation of
this fund will be found in another column.)

The collapsed American Loan and Trust
Co. must not be regarded as sample insti-
tuition of its class. The stockholders of the
Central Trust Co., of New York, will receive
on March 1st bi monthly dividend of per
cent and an extra dividend of 10 per cent,
aggregating per cent of dividends in the
last IA months, besides adding $4,000 to the
companiy's surplus, which has been tripled
since 18S4,an average add. IN of about half
million per annum, besides average an
nual dividends of about 211S per cent during
the same period. Its capital stock is divided
into 10000 shares of the par value of 500
each, and the market value of each share is
now $500. The Farmers Loan and Trust
Co., of New York, has capital stock of 81,
000, 900 also, divided into $25 shares, Which
are to-day worth more than $3.50 each, or
about four times as much as the Central.
The stock of the late American Loan and
Trust Co., with its 10000 800 shares has had
little market value for some time; but the
latest transfer was at about SO cents on the
dollar.

TIE fund created from the Sale Of See
ton l6'' has long been one familiar to All
county and township officials, but few under
stand from what source it began. Section Is
Of each township was reserved By the govern
ment to be sold at the discretion Of the
township. The money obtained thereby is
placed in an irredueibIe school fund, the in
terest therefrom to be used for school pur-
poses. Some sections were sold earlier than
Others, and hence did not get as good &
price.
The four northern townships of Henry
county are but four miles wide. This de-
tached territory of two miles is entitled to
per centage of the interest from the sale of
section 16 in those townships, which as will

As so much has been said about Cleve-
lands silver letter, we give it to our read
ers. 1t was directed to the President of the
Reform Club in New York:
"My Dear Sir : have this afternoon re-
ceived your note inviting me to attend to-
morrow evening meeting called for the pur-
pose of voicing the opposition of the bust
ness men of our city to the free coinage of
silver in the United States. I shall not be
able to attend and address the meeting as
you request. but / am glad that the business
interests of New York are at last to be heard
on the subject 1t surely cannot be neces-
sary for me to make formal expression that
the greatest perils would be initiated by the
adoption of the scheme embraced in the meas
ure now pending in congress for an unlimi-
ted coinage of silver at our mints. If we
have developed an unexpected capacity for
the assimilation of a largely increased volume
of the currency, and even if we have demon
strated the usefulness of such an increase,
these conditions fall far short of insuring
against disaster, if in the present situation
we enter upon the dangerous and reckless ex-
pertinent Of free, unlimited and independent
silver coinage. "GRovER CLEVELAND"
Democratic Northwest. [volume] (Napoleon, Ohio) 1869-1894, 1891-02-26

To the many inquiries as to what
"free coinage" means, we have this to
say: Any owner Of silver or gold bull
lion may deposit the same in any mint
in the United States, to be formed into
standard dollars, or bars, for his benefit
and without any charge, except that q
deposit of less value than $l00, or met
al too base for coming, may be refused.
Those are the exact words of the law,
and they mean that for every SO cents
worth of silver bullion the owner there
Of can receive therefrom a coin known
as our silver dollar. In other words 1t
means that that amount of silver bull
lion, which would sell in the London
market for 81 200, ..theI United States
will coin it into silver dollaIs, without
charge, and give the owner of the
bullion 81 ,230. in silver dollars.

THE President on Saturday sent to the
Senate the name of Ex-Gov. Charles Foster,
of this state, for Secretary of the Treasury.
From the first it was thought that Mr.. Foster
would be given the position and his friends
have been untiring in presenting his claims
to the president. Mr.. Harrison might have
gone farther and Jared worse-Mr. Foster
will make popular and useful cabinet off
cial. He is acquainted with all the ropes
and then he has the money to back him
which goes a good ways with Republican
politicians.
