The annual report of Sec. Carlisle,
transmitted to congress to-day, shows a
deficit of $2S 100000 since July last
The secretary recommends the pay
ment of S2,00O,O00 of Union Pacific
bonds; favors the issue of $50O,0OO,CO0 3
per cent one year bonds as relief meas
IRE.
He also is in favor of more extended

rency of uniform value should be secured
to the people and that the secretary be
given greater financial powers.
Carlisle also favors the cheapening of
the nccessaries of life by taxing the
luxuries. He wants distilled spirits taxed
10 cents gallon more and suggests tax
onincomes, perfumes and cigarettes and in
comes derived from investments in cor
porations. He advises congress to prac-
tice strict economy.
DIsGRUNTLED DEMOCRATS.
When thes appointment of Wayne Nc
Weigh as ambassador to Italy in place of
Van Allen, was announced yesterday, the
expressions from various Democratic
senators were emphatic and outspoken
Senator Hill sarcastically asked: "What!
Are not all the Mugwumps provided for
yeti" Other senators of pronounced
partisan views made similar, or more
lurd remarks. There is general dssatis
faction over the appointment.
DENOUNCED THE PRESIDENT.
There was lively sensation yesterda,
in the house over the Hawaiian muddle
Boutelle, of Maine, had the floor. Their,
was the greatest disorder during hi
speech. When he denounced Cleveland
as Democratic usurper, his bold words
were drowned IN confusion.
To-DAY's SENATE.
Senator Hoar took the floor and ad
dressed the senate on the Hawaiian ques
tion, calling up his resolution for refer
ence of the presidents message to the
committee on foreign relations. He
said the president had no right to ap
point an agent clothed with the authority
of the United States, and declared Cleve-
land was actuated by desire to de-
preciate the acts of Harrison rather than
sense of honor in his Hawaiian policy.
McVeigh, as minister to Italy, was CON
frmed this afternoon.

Denver, Dec. 20.-The record of Dick
Edwards, the Texas murderer, is dark
enough, but things look discouraging for
George Painter, who hangs in January
unless the governor is convinced that
Edwards killed Alice Painter. There is
little doubt but that at the time of the
murder Edwards was in Salt Lake. Wit
nesses swear to his presence there a
month preceding the crime. Edwards
has shady record in Colorado.

of Oklahoma, but there is no doubt that
the senate will pass upon bill for Okla
homa's admission at the same time the
other bills are considered, and it is proba-
BILE that bill for Oklahoma's admission
will be attached to one of the other
bills, probably that for the ad-
mission of Utah for the sake
of expedition. The Republicans think
the chances for Republican success would
be better in Oklahoma than in any of ahe
other proposed states, and may demand
this. The New Mexican bill will likely
meet with more opposition in committee
than any of the others. None of the
members doubt that tho population of
that territory is sufficient to justify admis
sion, if this point alone be considered.
Exception is taken to the fact that most
of the residents of New Mexico do not

WHAT SILVER LEGISLATION CAN WE
EXPECT?

Tho Senate Finance Committee as maze
ND is distinctly a free silver committee
II could hardly be otherwise with Sena-
tor voorhees, as its chairman. The WASH
ington Post claims that private Informal
ton which 1t has secured proves that
the new House is also Overwhelmingly
Of the same complexion. We may, there
fore. reasonably infer that the new Con-
gress If called in extra session, or. when
II meets in regular session, will do MOTH
ing towards repeating the Sherman silver
law II It acts upon the subject at all
the probabilities are that 1t Will widen the
scope Of the legislation now on the
statute book so as to increase the guam
tity Of silver annually purchased by the
Government.
II this event should occur this country
will be seriously threatened with one OF
the most overwhelming financial disasters
that ever overlook a people. Indeed we
do not see how great risk Of that disaster
can be postponed very long II matters
are simply left as they are. IT is con-
ceded on all names tndl tHe Stdlt VI a.
fairs existing at this moment is one fun
Of peril. Gold shipments have been sus-
pended II is true. but money remains
so tight that 1t is almost impossible for
business 20 effect its ordinary transactions
with any sort Of freedom. This is In no
way attributable to scarcity OF money
There is an abundance Of that. Last
weeks New York bank statement shows
that the banks there held A6i3,215 In
excess Of the % per cent. required by the
law. There is an abundance Of money,
but confidence has been impaired and peo-
pie refuse to lend. They prefer to keep
their money locked up and bearing no in
terest rather than run any risks.
The situation is pregnant with evidences
Of distrust and alarm and financial panic
is nothing but a condition OF that sort.
All this proceeds from the wild idea
that the Government can convert sixty
five cents into a dollar by stamping it as
a dollar. How long will the people per

basing their official action upon a pro-
position SO preposterous as this?

OUARTERMAsTER-G ENERAL FIELDS
NEW CAMPAIGN.

Ouartcrmaster General Field has
opened his next campaign. lie appeared
on Monday before the sovereigns at
Louisa Courthouse. making. as our re-
porter states, a "non-partisan speech.
The scribe adds that "he said nothing Of
general interest,"" which is a statement
that will find easy credence, as 1t is quite
a habit with the Quartermaster to do just
that thing.
But. In a subsequent conversation with
n reporter for the Dispatch the Quarter
master said that his party intended to
set itself briskly to work to perfect an
organization in every county in the state
with a view of putting in the field next
fan candidates for the Legislature and
for Governor, Lieutenant-Governor and
Attorney General
When the Quartermaster General is
conducting those parts of his campaigns
that draw on him for public speeches he
is entirely given, as at Louisa. to saying
nothing OF general interest. But when he
turns witness and let's us into view OF
what is contemplated for the future he
secures an attention very different from
that given to his public orations
These Third party cranks have got no
more wisdom than TO set themselves
about stirring up the discord that we
shall have from a movement like that
Indicated by Quartermaster Field and,
60 meet IL properly and effectively, II Is
incumbent upon the good people of the
state to commence serious and earnest
opposition to ii now and at once. We are
forewarned. and we should proceed 10
see that we become forearmed If they
are allowed to develop their Vaccinations
without attention or antidote, before we
know what IS happening, they VIII have
a union effected between themselves and
Mahone and his negroes that will imperil
n decent control over the affairs OF the
state. We shall be put in jeopardy OF a
renewal OF that sort Of State government
which Malone set Wy here between lSSO
and 1883.
We warn the people of Virginia that
this is a serious matter that should re-
ce,ve prompt attention. Public considera-
tion OF II should be given at once, and
the nat of the people that they VIII never
again submit to a rule Of indecency voted
upon them by a combination between
negroes. scalawags and eranks, should I'M
mediately go forth.
