for fear the Indians would get her.

Is lrHE "PINCH" one

A few weeks ago the GLOBE com
mented on nm interview which the sec
rotary Of the treasury had caused TO be
given out TO the public. in which he said
that the system of bookkeeping adopted
during Mr.. CLEvELAND's administra-
ton was unsatisfactory because, among
other things. il did not include among
the assets of the treasury the one hun
dred million of gold held MS security for
the greenback issues. He said that, as
these notes were legal tender, this fund
was assets, and "the government would
not hesitate TO use IT on pinch" Re-
publican apOlogizers for the secretary
secuted the idea that this really meant
TO be what its plain language signiiied,
and said that il was but matter of
bookkeeping, and that no one in the
treasury thought of touching that fund
The secretary has just issued his July
statement, and il shows that he has
changed his system Of bookkeeping aud
has included rs among the assets of the
treasury, 20 be used ''iu pinch" these
trust funds. Under the head of leash
in the treasury" he gives:

That is to say, the secretary of the
treasury has received gold to the amount
of Sl52. 45G,4 29, against which he has
issued and put in circulation certificates
stating that the holder is entitled to
have on demand NJ the treasury the
number of dollars in gold named on the
certificate. The gold in the treasury is
then not an asset. does not belong TO the
government, but belongs to the holders
of the certificates, who can get it on
surrender Of them. IL is purely trust
fund. and the secretary is guilty OF en-
bezzlement in using any part of it as a
bank cashier would be if he used the
funds of the bank in stock speculatiOnS.
Again, the law requires that officer TO
keep on hand at least $780,
100000 in gold for the redemption
of any of the greenback issues
that may be rendered FOR redemption.
II was wise provision, because it re-
stored the confidence the lack of which
had at one time taken from that paper
0nc-ha!f of its purchasing power. The
accumulation of this fund carried the
country presumption without lar, and
has maintained the grcenback and the
national bank notes at par with gold
ever since. Its impairment can have
no other effect than to weaken that con-
ddence. There should, then, be in the
treasury. under any method of keeping
the books, gold equaling the certificates
issued and the redemption fund, or
So I5Gl29. The statement shows that
there is but S23S, BIS. 100. or Sl3,93S. 800

HANr nnhINE TO RUN.


The Sscretary's Friends Insist That He
Shall Accept the Presidential Nomina-
ton.
New York Herald special.
WASHINGTON, April 20.--The nomination
Of Secretary Blaine for President is among
the strong probabilities of the next Re
publican national convention. Mr.. Blaine
will not be an active candidate for the
nomination, but his friends believe that
he will not refuse it if it comes to him.
A party of them called upon him re-
Gently and told him that they wanted his
assurance that he would not embarrass
his friends by writing letters refusing the
nomination. They did not ask him to lift
finger to secure the nomination, or even
to encourage his friends, but they did ask
him not to discourage them by Florence
letters or dispatches like those he sent in
the midst of the last convention when his
nomination had been nearly accom-
plished
Mr.. Blaine listened with his usual cour-
tesy, and, while he was guarded in what
he said, his friends interpreted his words
as an acceptance of their conditions. Prob
ably nothing will be heard of more def
mite character from the Secretary of State
unless he is led to believe that his silence
is injuring him.
It may be difficult to Judge whether he
has any chance Of the nomination until
the last moment. There will be a perfume
tory sort of Endorsement of President Har-
rison from great many state conventions
and office-holders and their friends will be
ehary about declaring against the Presi-
| dent. If it once appears that majority
of the delegates are bound to vote for Mr..
Harrison the whole convention will
doubtless swing into line with desperate
! effort at enthusiasm.
| If, however, the Presidents chances APP
pear doubtful, the name Of Blaine is likely
to sweep the convention like whirlwind.
Mr., Blaine's policy of reciprocity is the
only thing which promises partly to re-
deem the Mckinley bill and to give the
Republican party a fighting chance in the
next election. All of Mr.. Blaines friends
believe, and they have reasons for their
belief, that the credit of this policy is due
entirely to him.
There was deal of sarcastic comment
among them to-day when they read the
speech of the President at Galveston, init
mating that he not only approved the re.
ciprocity clause with pleasure, but did
some powerful lobby work for 1t before il
was put in the Mckinley bill. Mr.. Blaine's
friends observed that the President must
credit the American people with very
short memories and dense stupidity if he
thinks to deceive them regarding history
so recent as that regarding the adoption Of
the reciprocity policy.

H0W ITALY HAS DELAYED.
italian Miscreants who Fled from Justice
in this Country Not ADprehended,

ROME, April 20.-The newspapers of this
city are complaining bitterly of what they
term the "leisurely manner of Mr.. Blaine
in replying to the communications of the
Italian government relative to the New
Orleans affair. They seem to forget in
Italy that, using the usual means of com
munication between governments, il takes
three weeks for Italy and the United States
to exchange communications.
They also seem to forget that the United
States has just as good grounds for COM
plant against the ltatian government as
the papers urge the latter has against the
American Secretary of State, Take for
Paladina. The American government de-
manded that this offender against the
laws of the United States, who had fled TO
Italy, be extradited to stand trial upon
the charge of counterfeiting. The Italian
government two weeks after the receipt of
the demand asked the American legation
here what citizenship Paladina claimed
whether American or Italian. In response
to this question the American legation
stated on the same day that the request
for information was received that Pala-
dina claimed to be an Italian subject. This
was the last heard of the matter for two
months, when, in answer to the United
States governments request for the extra
dition of Paladina, the Italian government
Italy did not allow of the carrying out of
the treaty existing between Italy and the
United States so far as the extradition of
Italians was concerned.
Italy again took this position relative to
the Italian constitution and laws when the
United States subsequently demanded the
extradition of the two Italians who were
implicated in the murder of Paymaster
Mcclure, an employee of a contractor who
was engaged in constructing railroad
near Wilkesbarre, Pa, and Hugh Flanni-
gan, another employee of the same contrac-
tor, who were killed and robbed of astlm of
money which the paymaster had to pay
laborers, and for which crime one man
was convicted and executed by the Penn
sylvania authorities. His two accomplices
made their escape from the United States
and returned to Italy, but the Italian gov
eminent refused to surrender them for
trial, basing its refusal on the ground that
it would be unconstitutional to sur
render Italian subjects for trial in foreign
country.

oUn CIVILIZATION 4 nUMBUe.
The italian Organs Rabid Views Upon the
Malta Slaughter.

New York, April Isl Eco d. Italia
this morning printed the following: No
one after the slaughter at New Orleans
doubted that the murderers would be
allowed to walk freely about the streets;
no one thought, however, that from the
cabinet at Washington would have been
sent out such stupid and dishonest pleas
attempting to save the murderers
from the hands of the hangman.
An honest and civilized nation would
not have allowed bloudthirsty mob to
attack the prison and murder the prisoners,
and should such thing have happened
through the carelessness Of the authorities
a civilized nation would have prosecuted
and punished the guilty parties. Not only
Justice but the property and life of citizens
have been insulted Before giving satisfac-
ton to Italy the United State ought to give
it to themselves. The murderer triumphs
and finds an advocate in Secretary Blaine
and the civilization of America SO often
boosted has proven to be bluff. a hum
bug. A government which approves such
a course betrays its own country and calls
upon civilized nations to send their guns
to teach it how international law and
rights should be respected.

ROCHESTER, N. H., April 2o.-Kate
Lawrence was murdered by James
McDuffie. For the past seven years the
