THE FINANCIAL SITUATION y.

-Nessrs. Editors: Being somewhat
physically indisposcd at this time, l
will endeavor to notice some of the
movements that are being made by our
political chess players. We arc evi-
IDENTIFY undergoing the greatest flnan-
cial depression thst~"tiiIs country has
experieic>cT since the days of her Or
Iganization as nation. We have had
temporary financial trouble which did
not last long and only effected a few
money centres and was soon overcome
by the aid of the moneyed power, but
this panic is so far-reaching that not
only the money powers, but the COM
mercial, manufacturing, mining and
all industrial interests are feeling its
great weight. There is something
wrong somewhere, and q cause for
this condition of affairs more than Or
dinary too. 1t cannot be on account
Of the scarcity of money, for | am
constrained to believe that there is as
much money as there ever was, for
the imports Of gold about balances the
exports and our silver and paper cur
rency is still in the country. So it is
no scarcity Of the root of all evil.
Well, what is it? lam constrained to
believe there is lack of 70 liGe ice on
the part Of the mo Keyed powers, pro-
duced by the rc7olut' mary acts ON the
part of the State which is designed to
grind down capital by placing it under
the control Of few men known as 2
boaro, who has the right to place any
assessment on corporations that they
see proper, and enforce the collection
OF the same. l believe our own State
IS playing full hand in the game by
her reform system of legislation.
We will notice another cause for
tins lack OF confidence. Il is the un-
Que Influence that the Aliiance is
exertlng over the masses B,f the people
in making demands that they know or
should know al leastiS unconstitutional
and unjust were they carried out.

WE are glad 70 know that Our col
ored peop:e are following the example
of the white people in organizing an
agricultural society for the purpose Of
holding an institute. They should
content themselves with beginning
on small scale. They can hardly
hope to do more this year than form q
nucleus. Many of them are very
prosperous farmers, and the more
thrifty and successful among them
should lend their aid and encourage
ment to the effort. We feel sure that
their white friends will encourage
them all they can. Really, there is no
reason why a success should not lie
made of the undertaking, and much
practical good result to the colored
farmers in such an organization.

We fear that great deal of damage
has been done the crops, especially
cotton that is open. by the fearful
wind and rain storm which began
about 10 o'clock Sunday night and
continued nearly all day Monday.
The damage to property is hard to es-
innate, fences are down. timber
damaged, and in many instances
dwellings seriously injured. What
with the money panic and the very
low price of cotton, the situation is
anything but hopeful, and our people
more than ever will turn their eyes TO
Congress to do something to relieve
them. Congress should at least repea.
the tax on State banks, and put us i'll 4
position so that we may help ourselves.

THEY CONTRADICTED MR.. BELL.
Ex-Assistant Secretary Bussey and hx-
Commissioner Tanner.

Ex-Assistant Secretary BuSsey and kx-
Commissioner Tanner.
WASHINGTON. d. c., July eek
Assistant Secretary Bussey and eX-Com-
missioner Tanner give very positive
and circumstantial contradiction TO
Deputy Commissioner Bells statements
to the effect that sixteen employees OF
the pension bureau whose pensions were
illegally increased in 1889 by Commits
sloner Tanner were still drawing their
pensions at the increased rate In con-
tempt of specific instructions given by
Assistant Secretary Bussey that the ola
and lower rating be restored, and the
further statement that these orders OF
Assistant Secretary Bussey had been
secreted and were only recently discov-
cred by Commissioner Lochren.
An examination OF the alleged decis-
ions discloses the fact that only two OF
them bear any specific date. They are
dated august, 1885," the others hay-
Ing no date whatever. All of the cases
except two are signed by Assistant-Sec-
rotary Bussey. Que of these has no sig
natures and the other has the name 10
typewriting. When the attention OF ex-
Commissioner Tanner was called TO the
matter he stated very emphatically
that he had never seen the alleged de-
cislons, although he remained In office
| until September 10, 1889, nor had he ever
heard OF them until tuday. EX-assistant
Secretary Bussey was seen at his Office,
and said that no sucn decisions as were
referred to and quoted had ever been
promulgated from his office. During
the Tanner investigation he had on his
own motion taken up number OF cases
OF pension employees who, he believed,
had been illegally re-rated, and wrote
out decision In each case. They were
formulated with view TO their being
shown to the President and Secretary
Noble as aids In their investigation
and understanding Of the case, and also
with view to their subsequent official
PRONUNCIATION II thay met with their ap-
proval. They did not meet with the ap-
prevail of the Secretary, who decided
upon another course Of procedure, as
indicated in his letter to Congress on
the subject. The cases as written up
were signed by Mr.. Bussey simply, he
said, to identify them to the President
and Secretary Noble.
After 1t had been decided not 10 Issue
the decisions as prepared, General Bus
SEQ says he put them In his desk, where
they remained many months. On one
occasion he showed them to Commits
sioner Raum, who asked permission to
take number OF them TO his Office and
look them over at his leisure. This per-
mission was granted, and about twenty
out OF fifty or sixty OF the decisions
were taken away. General Raum had
no doubt forgotten to return them, and
so the "secreted decisions" were dis
covered and the conclusion instantly
reached that large sums Of money had
been paid out contrary TO the instruc-
lions contained therein. General Bussey
stated with earnestness that the alleged
decisions were not decisions, nor were
they ever copied and promulgated as
such, as was well understood By General
Raum and the chief officials Of the
Pension Bureau.
