THE FRENCH TREATY.
Sir Charles Dixie Talks on New
fOundIand Matters.

PARIS, Jan. 12.-Sir Charles Dixie,
who Is at present residing in this city,
in an interview to-day, published by
L'Eclair, in regard to Newfoundland
matters, says that he thought that,
apart from the lobster question, the
difficulty lay in the impossibility to
reconcile French treaty rights with the
development of Newfoundland. The
entire territory belonged to the
colony, yet they could not eX-
ercise the rights of sovereignty.
The co)oniSts, he said. unable to obtain
a settlement of the matters in dispute,
would some day certainly take the law
in their own hands. During the
coming spring, according to Sir Charles
Dixie, shots would probably be eX-
changed between the crews OF the
Freuch ships and the colonists. 1t was
essential, therefore, to Immediately dis
cover ground for an agreement. Baron
Lareinty, of the senate, during the
course of an interview, stated that
he had learned from M. RibOt, the min
lister of foreign affairs, that the French
government had decided to accept terri
torial compensation only for the cessa-
ton to Great Britain of the French
shore of Newfoundland. M. Ribot re-
fused to discuss the question of pecuni-
airy indemnity, and said that England
had not offered France any territorial
compensation for her rights on the New
tOundland coast.

SILVER TONGUES,

The Senate Resumes Consideray
ton of Stewards Amendment.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.-The senate
resumed consideration of the finance
bill, Mr.. Allen being entitled to the floor,
Mr.. Platt gave notice that at the very
first opportunity after the finance bill
was disposed of, he would ask the SEN
ate to consider the copyright bill. Mr..
Haddock gave notice, on the other hand.
that without regard to the. copyright
bill, or any other bill. he would, at the
first opportunity, ask the senate to take
up the pure food bill. Mr.. Allen then
addressed the senate in advocacy OF
Mr.. Stewards amendment. To attempt,
he said, to demOnetze silver was also an
attempt to demOnetiZe gold. To de-
range the purity of the metals was not
only to reduce the one beneath tho
established standard, but to advance the
other above it, and to place each in
condition of tluctuatiOn-tO become. to
that extent. commodity to be specialized
in, the victim of bulls and bears in tho
markets. He believed that the full
restoration of silver ought to come, and
inevitably must come; and that, until it
did come. the intervening period would
be one of fluctuations and disturbances
in the business. industrial and property
world. He would therefore give his
support to the amendment, and in doing,
SO, he felt that he was in harmony with
the wishes of his constituents.
Mr.. Stewart sent to the clerks desk

any one desired to do so. Several sena-
tors, he added, had said that they would
vote for it. Mr.. Berry addressed the
senate III support of Mr.. Stewards
amendment. He would vote for II, he
said. understanding that it provided for
the free and unlimited coinage of silver
and placed silver, in all aspects lin re-
gard to the right of coinage and tho
right to be used as money, on an equal
ity with gold at the rate fixed by law
One of the strongest reasons that i'll
duced him to support the amendment
was in the hope and belief that the free
coinage of silver would enable the mort

legations, and to rid their
homes from the mortgages THAI

less toll and with much smaller amount
of cotton, wheat and corn, than it would
now require. He opposed the section
providing for the issue of additional
bonds, and said IN conclusion that no
man could be elected president by
either party who would not plant him
self squarely on platform in favor Of
free coinage of silver.
Mr.. Cockrell made an argument IN
favor of the amendment, which was
simply Che said proposition for tho
free coinage of silver and for a res
toration of silver to all monetary func-
tions. He reviewed and criticized the

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Jan. 12.-The

The paragraph that excited the most i'll

A conflict is impending between federal

porary disposition of this question may
be, in the end the intelligence and

perfect our laws with view to rigid exact

execute them fairly and impartially, thus
forestalling any reason for federal interior
enee and stoutly maintaining the sole right
of the state to control its own affairs.

Boston, Jan. 12.-The latest sensa-

OUR GROWING SURPLUS.
Window Says 1t Cannot Purchase
Four Per Cent Bonds.

Four Per Cent Bonds.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 12.-Secretary
Window is authority for the statement
that the growing treasury surplus can
not now be used in the purchase of
per cent bonds, for the re asOn that it
will! be needed to meet pension pay
ments due next month, aggregating
s25, 100000. The available cash surplus
is now Sl8,0O0,OOO. but by continued eX-
cess of receipts over expenditures will
probably reach the required amount by
the time indicated. Secretary Window
is of opinion that the business of the
country would be improved by making
these pension payments monthly in
stead of quarterly, as at present, and
he has made recommendation to that
effect to the proper congressional COM
mittees. If this is done, he says. it will
do away with the present necessity OF
keeping a large sum of money in the
treasury vaults for three months, when
it might just as we'll be in the hands Of
the people entitled to it.

DewdneY, superintendent general of
Indian affairs, to-day received a dis
patch from the commissioner of the
Northwest mounted police, which states
that the Canadian Indians continue to
be perfectly quiet. The report of
trouble near Delorain is a canard, and
probably arose from the fact that a
small band of Indians in the DEVILS
lake district, in North Dakota, have
been holding ghost dance. The local
itY is about thirty miles south of the
Mantle ba boundary, and as the mounted
police patrols are still OH the frontier.
no trouble is apprehended, and care
will be taken to prevent Dakota Indians
from crossing into Manitoba.

LAND MORTGAGES.

The following sensible editorial is
reproduced from the GreenvilIe
BANNER, is heartily indorsed: "a
secret political organization has been
started in Kansas, the object of
which is to repudiate the mortgage
debts of the people of that state. 1t
is the old story-easy to ran in
debt, but hard to get out. But the
American people will never tolerate
Reputation. The people of Kansas
themselves will not tolerate it, when
they come to realize fully what it
means. Other states should take
warning from Kansas and beware of
land mortgages. It makes times
easy while the money is pouring in.
But pay days vii come on apace,
and there's the rub. Besides, the
interest goes on day and night, Sun
days and week days, through rain
and fair weather alike. The interest
forever gnaws like an eating cancer,
and then the principal must be paid
in the end. There is no hope of es-
cape from that, Reputation is no
solution for the problem. 1t is bad
enough to mortgage all we have an
earth. But no people can afford to
mortgage the hereafter for the sake
of temporary relief. The only safe
plan is to keep the mortgage off of
your property. If you have much
land, better sell some of it. Most
farmers try to carry too much land
anyway. "A little farm well TILED"
is a motto that the farmers wife
could hang on the wall, along side
of God Bless Our Home" because
there is not blessing for the home
with a mortgage on it. And no
matter whether the money be loaned
by government or by corporations,
the results would be same as to the
borrower. The country must seek
relief along some other line. Bor-
rowing money, no matter where it
should come from, is only tempo
rary expedient. 1t is only delaying
evil day a little and making matters
worse by pilling interest on top of
principal.
