THE "NEW FORM" STATEMENT

Juggling the Funds to Cover Up Repub-
lcan RAscality.
Secretary Fosters ''explanation'' OF
the new form of treasury statement
with which the administration begins
the fiscal year does not explain any
thing and was neither intended by Mr..
Foster nor expected by anyone else to
explain. Mr.. Foster is not in a position
to tell the truth, which, as well enough
understood, is simply that the treasury,
outside of its trust funds, has nothing
in it except the current collections,
which on the average Of the coming
year will be exceeded by the expend-
itures. The object of the change is to
avoid stating the amount of available
cash. if any, and, by juggling the 800
900, 900 gold reserve trust fund for the
redemption of outstanding notes, to
make it appear that there is a large
balance in the treasury.
In the statement for May the cash
balance met cash, net amount in banks
of deposit and fractional currency was
given at $53, 721, 900, and the net bal
ance of cash in the treasury at $40. 13s, :
600.
In the ssnew FORM of statement fos
June the met cash balance is given
at S53, S93. 600 and the leash balance" at
S153, 1913, 600, though in the meantime
there has been net increase of 8, $685.
900 in expenditures above income.
That is, with a net balance in tbs
treasury of $40. 1873, 900 in May there il
now only SIS, LAG, 900. instead of $50, $685.
900 which is the leash balance" in.
stead of 1888, 500, 600 as Mr.. Foster pre-
tends by juggling in the trust fund of
500, 600, 600 in gold.
The S53, 1913, 600 leash balance" in
cludes S23, &c., 100 in the pet banks"
and S19,656 in subsidiary coin. This
secretary has eliminated" $500, 527 Of
interest due and unpaid and 81. 367, 600
accrued interest from the statement Ct
liabilities. He has also ''eliminated*
the matured debt of 81, 647, OO0-not by
paying it, but by leaving it out. A
further elinination is failure to in
clude as heretofore in the statement Of
available cash the trust fund of S54. 200,-
900, the use of which the Reed congress
authorized to cover the expected deficit
The difference between the amount
Of this fund and the cash available at

turned into available leash" and spent,
there is now deficit of about s., OOO,-
600, which the gold reserve trust fund
of 500, O00, 900 is juggled to cover in the
statement
The purpose of the statement is fraud
ulent. 1t is not devised to show, but
to conceal the condition of the treasury.
But it is an idle device. As soon as the
administration has the courage to call
in the money the pet banks are now
using without interest it will spend it
Then it will have only the fractional
silver it cannot spend, which viii soon
| be exceeded in amount by the amount
of expenditures above income. The
treasury will not get through the year
without either defaulting on payment
of expenses. or else flching from the
trust funds. as the secretary has already
proposed to do ''at pinch."-St. Louis

CHAPTER XVI
~r~ nnor~~

slave you heard the news, Franlx?'
Nothing special. What has happened,
Colonel?'
General ROsecrans is relieved from
the command, and Thomas takes his
place.
''You don't say so! Well, hope our
old leader does not leave us under a
cloud; for though he made bad break
at Chickamauga. his has been no mean
record"
''He has been given a nominal COM
mand in Missouri" was the significant
reply.
$40 let him down easy. Well, all I
can say is that those newspaper fellows
have too much license, and can hound a
man to ruin, if he makes mistake
once in lifetime"
"But General Rosecrans has made
many mistakes of late"
$50 he has, but he is brave soldier,
and 1, for one, am sorry he is going.
Anyhow we get superb substitute in
General Thomas, whom the boys have
already dubbed the Rock of Chicka-
mauga.'
"a soldier, every inch Of him, and as
discreet as he is valiant"
The fact was that just before this
time, the whole Western region had
been remodeled into the MILITARY Di-
vision of the Mississippi" comprising
the armies Of the Ohio, Cumberland
and Tennessee, and Grant had been ap-
pointed Commander
To resume the conversation Of our
two friends, Hopkins and Besant:
Nov, Frank" said the former, "I've
ticklish bit Of duty before me which
bothers me considerably. General
Thomas has decided to send dispatches
to Grant, and has done us the compi-
ment to direct me to select one of nv
officers for the perilous duty. You can
not go, of course; then, who shall it be?''
Charlie Fulton, SIR" Besant replied,
without an instant's hesitation.
The ColonePs brow knit ominously.
ooh, SIR" the young Major pleaded,
''do give him this chance-it will be the
making of him-besides, it will show
him that after all his indiscretion, you
still have confidence in him May l go
at once and send him to you?''
''What staunch, true friend You are,
Frank!" Hopkins said, admiringly.
"Well, for your sake 1 will give him
the opportunity to prove your good
opinion of him, so go at once and send
him to my quarters
And Charlie Fulton accomplished his
mission so well that within a week
there came a telegram from Grant to
Thomas: 81 am coming. Can you hold
out till I reach you?" To which the
hero of Chickamauga replied: 81 will
hold the fort till we starve to death at
our postsr'
Meanwhile there was rejoicing
among Bragg's men, who looked down
from the hills that surrounded the be-
1eagnered city with the keen satisfaction
OF knowing that ere long its hungry de-
Tenders must give up their hopeless
struggle. jefferson Davis himself came
to gloat on the prize SO near his grasp,
and was so delighted with the prospect
that he withdrew Longstreet's corps
from the field, and sent him eighty
miles away to wrest Knoxville from
the clutch of Burnside.
] But Grant and Hooker have come to
the relief of the beleaguered force, and
Eherman tramped by forced marches
two hundred miles from Inka to share
In the gallant struggle for victory.

and in the last result viii be thought so

merit to bear the pressure of personal

the world think of him, from whom
every one that approaches him in what
ever circumstances brings something
away to confirm the loud rumor of the

ittleness of curiosity, are as severe
tests as the impartiality and enlarged
views of history.-N. Y Ledger.

Last week stranger came to the vii
lage who declares that he is the person
who so many years ago left the infant
Lawson on the farmers doorstep
when he was on his way out West to
seek his fortune. He was crossing the
country in an emigrant wagon, and, as
his wife had died on the journey, when
he reached Meltonburg the temptation
to get rid of the child was so strong
that he could not resist it. He says that
he has been very prosperous and that
he is most anxious to regain his lost
boy. have had an interview with him
and found him a simple and apparently
good-hearted man. I hope to interest
him in James wife and child. Give my
kind regards to Captain Henderson, if
you see him, and tell him that every fe-
male heart in Me1tonburg except
Grace's is beating for his return. The
news of your promotion has just ar
rived, which would be grand indeed if
I did not fear it would lead you into
further danger. Does Major go be-
fore or behind his regiment in battle?

this important question. Do satisfy our

Investments I'm Tintie

H. M. Nichols, of Denver, who visited
the Tintic, accompanied by George c.
Schenck, is an old time miner and is the
confidential agent of number of the large
investors in Denver.
When asked by THE HERALD reporter
what he did In Tintic he modestly replied
that he left s., 600 of his own, ana this
might lead to bringing others into the
camp as there were few men in Colorado
who were foolish enough to bank on his
judgment Mr.. Nichols, however, added,
''they seldom did get left''
1--WE went to the Bullion Beck said
Mr.. Nichols, land Mr.. Smith went I'D with
US, but he was called suddenly to Marys-
vale. He, however, left directions for
Mr.. Sullivan to show US the mine l was
very much pleased with the way the work
was being done think that it is going to
be great camp. The Bullion Beck is a
great mine anu they have plenty of chance
to spread themselves, they having lots of
ground. There is ore in sight everywhere.
from the 200-foot level to the 700-foot level
We drove around over the mountain, and
the entire camp looks very we'll"
Mr.. Nichols stated the drawback to the
camp was the loose laws and SURVEYS, the
customs being much the same as they are
in new camps, but which always undergo
change as the camp grows older and capital
comes in.
He was especially happy over the appoint
ment of Mr.. Skiff as chief of the mining de-
partment Of the Worlds fair, Mr.. Skiff
being an intimate friend.

The rich strikes in the Dalton and Marys-

siderable attention that way, and will doubt
less do much toward bringing the southern
mining country into the prominence that it

S. Ferris, the old time prospector and
miner, has something to say in this column.
As predicted, the gentlemen who repre-
scented Utah IN the Mississippi con-
gress at Denver, held their own among the

encouragingly of that rich section of Utah
Unlike some, he does not attempt to dispar-
age the various other portions of Utah

say that the region around old Mt Baldv

The Week on ,Cha1oe

AS will be seen by consulting the sales
for the week, the trading on the stock ex.
change fell far below the record of pre-
vious weeks, though prices maintained
nearly the old mark, except in the case of
Centennial Eureka, which fell TO $40.
There seems to be no legitimate reason for
this decline as the reports from the mine
continue as favorable as ever. The bear
movement was the result of the action of a
few brokers and it is believed that the
stock will regain all it has lost as rapidly
as it declined.
Mammoth, which ruled somewhat
stronger than during the previous week,
on Saturday dropped to 81 bid, but none of
the Stock was offered for less than 8. 20.
The only sale on the local board Satur-
day was 1000 shares of Apex at 1917 cents.
