PENSION REFORM.
Con. II. v. Boynton Calls Attention to the
Gravity Of This Important Question.

Con. II. v. Boynton Calls Attention to the
Gravity of This Important Question.
WASHINGTON, June 5.-Gen. II. V.
Boynton, over his own signature, speaks
at length OF pension reform and the
following are extracts from his COM
munication: By the action Of the
highest officials Of the Grand Army OF
the Republic, quite as much as by the
recent orders Of the new secretary Of
the interior and the commissioner OF
pensions, the country has been brought
face to face with the gravities and the
serious perpleIities Of the pension
problem. The discussion has been pre-
cipitated none too soon for the good OF
honest and deserving pensioners; for
the good name and fame of the Grand
Army itself; for setting up a distinction
between that patriotism which Is as
pure as any flag ever led TO victory and
that humiliation OF patriotism which Is
found in the hot quest for undeserved
pensions, and forrelieving the country
from such portion of the vast and fast
growing pecuniary burden as may be
proved unjust.
Ever since the pension question be-
came prominent both parties have
nursed II and juggled with it to secure
political advantage. And now, when
II has become burden which cannot
be ignored and should not II 1t could,
since pension expenditures are grow
ing and now nearly equal all the other
ordinary annual appropriations to-
gether, IL should not be treated as q
partisan affair.
That the pension question has as
sumed magnitude and an Importance
which compels attention from any ad-
ministration which takes proper cog
nizance Of the public interests is too
clear TO need argument. Not TO give
| IL careful and vigorous attention would
be a grave neglect Of executive duty.
The examination ordered by the SEQ
| retary OF the interior strikes at the
root Of the trouble. II probably at
fords the most practicable way Of test
ing the real condition OF the pension
roll. II will be time enough TO con-
denim It when the hand OF the govern
ment as result Of this proceeding, is
unjustly laid upon single deserving
pensionsr.
The grand Army now owesit TO itself
TO support a searching examination OF
the pension rolls When this is done
not only the Grand Army but the
whole country can be relied upon 10
insist that none but unworthy cases
shall be dropped from the rolls OF
honor.
Under the present Widespread belief
the pension roll cannot be fully re-es
tablished as 4 roll Of honor until such
investigation has been thoroughly and
honestly made.

GOLD SHORTAGE.
Net Amount In the Treasury Lower Than
at Any Time Since the Resumption Of
Specie Payments.

N.% Amount I'm The Treo.prx Ioxver Thnn
at Any TIme Since the Resumption Of
Specie Payments.
WASHINGTON, June Sat no period
since specie payments were resumed
on January 1, 1879, has the net gold In
the treasury of the United States been
so low as it is TODAY. The amount Is
sso. .999, 917. On January /. 1879, it was
s114, 199, $50. SO. Secretary Sherman in
a report made in 1879 stated that he
had on January 1 coin to the amount
of s141. .sss, 900 available for the resump-
ton of specie PAYMENTS. Of this
amount one hundred and fourteen mil
lions was in gold, the balance in sill,
yer, and both were denominated coin.
Since that period the net gold in the
treasury has gradually increased until
in March, 1883, it reached S91S, ,Sl8, 900,
which was high water mark. Since
that time it has fluctuated, but at no
time since then has it reached $780,
OOO, 900.
While no uneasiness is felt at the
treasury department. because of the
continued loss of gold from the treas
urv, still Secretary Carlisle is not un-
mindful of the fact that a limit may be
reached where the confidence reposed
in the treasury by the people may be
shaken. How to replete the treasury
with gold has been a problem seriously
considered by the administration for
some time. The issue of bonds is the
usual remedy suggested, but it is known
that the president is not in favor of
this alternative, except as the last re-
source, and even if they are issued
treasury officials are not by any means
confident that the treasury gold re-
pleted in this way will long continue
SO. 1t is this doubt, perhaps, more
than any other that prevents the ad-
ministration from seriously consider
ing at this time a bond issue, and it is
certain that every other available
means will be resorted to before this

REVIEW or TRADE.

Oisheartenlng Condition Of Business Al
Over the Country Money Markets Closer
,-UnoeFtalnty About tho Future Has =
Depressing Influence.
New York, June ar. @. Dan & Co. 8
weekly review Of trade says: More dis
heartening conditions have prevailed
during the past week, and those who
saw the beginning of permanent recov-
cry In the better tone a week ago are
disappointed. The money markets
have been closer, especially in the in
terror and manufacturing and trade are
more affected than before, Some i'm
oortait failures have occr,Ted, inclu-
ding Gac bank at Milwaukee. Gold
has rrno out again in large amounts,
e.., ts for this week berg about
3J.y,0,U 800 ami the treasury gral reserve
has been drawn down to about 500, ,OOO,-
900. In nearly all departments of trade
uncertainty about the future has de-
pressing influence which is now clearly
perceived in decrease of new business,
and while most manufacturing works
are yet employed on full orders, as
these run out the number of works
closed increases
Boston reports disappointing trade
in dry goods, not equal to expecta-
tions. Orders for boots and shoes are
slow and some factories are closed. The
wool market is quiet and unsatisfac-
tory, but lumber is in good demand.
Philadelphia reports much disturbance
in iron, fair but waiting market for
dry goods and quiet trade in other re-
spects, with much complaint of collec-
tions in all branches.
Trade in Cleveland is fairly good and
collections slightly improved, though
money is close. The iron trade at
Pittsburgh is less encouraging; pig is
weaker and finished iron very low in
price of the weaker tendency. The
shoe trade at Cincinnati is better and
in machinery there is u fair business,
but general trade shows little improve
ment and collections are slow. At In
dianapolis trade is slow IN groceries
and better in other lines, but collec-
tions are unsatisfactory. At Detroit
money is close, vessel rates low and
trade, though fair in volume, is at very
low prices.
Chicago reports increased receipts, in
sheep 80 per cent, oats 80 and wheat
70 per cent, but decrease in all other
articles, especially in animal products.
Clearings are lower, real estate trans
actions 40 per cent. smaller than last
year. Collections show no improvement,
credits being ourtailed and some man.
ufacturers restricted by lack Of accom-
modations Wheat is quoted an eighth
below the lowest price for thirty years.
The failure of one bank at Milwaukee
causes some excitement, though gen.
eral trade was satisfactory and collec-
tions improving.
Trade is fair at St. Paul, though col
lections are slow and money close. st.
Louis reports satisfactory trade with
very fair collections, cotton and corn
moving literally. but loans are cur
tailed TO the minimum and there is nc
market for local securities, save al
buyers prices. At Kansas City trade
is fairly satisfactory but receipts are
moderate and money close.

FATAL COLLISION.
A Locomotive Crashes Into Loaded Street
Car with Fatal Results.

CHICAGO, June "A horse car Of the
Chicago city line going east on Sixty.
ninth street at $3.50 o'clock last evening,
was struck by Rock Island passenger
train. One occupant Of the street car
was instantly killed and three serious
ly hurt. The accident is said to have
been due to the negligence of the gate
keeper at the crossing, who failed tc
lower the gates on the approach Of the
train. The car carried but six pas.
sengers
While the car was crossing the track
the driver saw the approaching train
and whipped up his horses in his ef'
forts to get away. The passengers on
the car saw the danger and rushed for
the rear end TO make their escape. Be
fore they could do this the engine
struck the rear end of the car, hurlin9
It to the sidewalk and against the fence

THEY LAID "A 1ssICzS,

They have had a great day in Knox
yillc where great days are not common
unless we except the times when an
Ashevile baseball club is butchered to
make a thrilling holiday.
Ii will surprise many to learn that the
day was great because it witnessed the
beginning of paving i'll Knoxville. But
the fact is the old town is little blow,
and it was not till Ashcyillc led and
had miles of streets paved that Knox
Vile began to think of getting out OF the
mud. THE CITIZEN is indebted to the
Journal for an account of this most mo-
mentous occasion. The story opens
with a most delicate and deserved trib-
ute to the power and popularity of the
evening paper:
Though definite announcements were
made only in the morning papers still
at the appointed hour there was a
crowd on hand numbering fully 1900
people. Every window in the court
house and other surrounding residences
presented punches of faces"
The inference from this is that if an
announcement had been made III the
evening paper the crowd would have
been much larger. Notice. too, that III
Knoxville they grow faces i'll "bunches
as we grow carrots and onions \But
let that pass.
The fire department was present lest
the enthusiasm should become too Ter
vid and the city band was there to play
at the wrong time and drown the voice

speaker of the occasion. He called Knox
vile the 80 ueen City of the Mountains
which she isn't; then admitted tha
Rome was dead, but asserted that he
roads were better that those of Knox
vile, which is true since she hasn't any
and concluded with:
"Mr. Mayor, no enterprise howeye
exalted, no endeaVor however noble, |
perfect in purpose if it lacks the approva
of good women. In token OF thcl
appreciation of the public spirit OF you

count in the Journal, 1.-THE young societ
queen in,beddcd it in the sand with tn
sweetest grace aud the minutest prccis
ion." This is a distinct advance on th
Asheville method, for it will be remen
bered that Mayor Blanton, lacking prc
cision if not grace, laid the first pawn

Journal-and no one who has ever bee
in Knoxville on a summer day will eve

that the life of the young society queen

PANIC LEGnsE-AT1OS

W.T. Crawford said i'll the House
Thursday:
Here we are struggling and trying. TO
adjust this legislation to panic, trying
to qucll a panic. Wait until the panic
passes away, and let us lcGislate so as to
prevent panics. That is my theory, aud
l believe the people Of this country VIII
stand by this idea"
Mr.. Crawford is quite right. LcGisll-
tion carried through at a ti,Ec of such un-
rest as the present is pretty certain to be
of a kind that will have to be done over
again. AS well show 4 new kind of fire
engine to a man in Il burning building
and expect him to comprehend its good
qualities, as to expect wcll-considcred
legislation to come out of 4 huc-and-cry
session of Congress. The great blundet
was in not calling the extra session last
March or April when the Democratic
party could have gone to work carrying
out the promises of its platform without
the panicky consequences of Kcpublicat
legislation roaring in it's ears.
