THE PRESENT CONDITION OF THE UNITED
STATES TREASURY EN- sARASSlNG.
Uncle Sam May Be Forced to Seek Loan-MucI
Depends on the Report of Secretary Carlisle.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.-Asked as to
what subject would attract first and
most serious attention of Congress dur
ing the approaching session, a demo-
cratic senator who is regarded by many
as the leader on that side Of the cham
ber answered laconically: 1.-The condi-
ton Of the treasury" Other senators
and members corroborate this oppin-
ion that the condition of the national
finances are of paramount Importance,
and agree that the subject will have to
be taken up and met in some practical
way as early as possible. Many 60
further and say that more legislation
is necessary to improve the general
financial condition so as to restore the
confidence of the masses of the people
before there can be a general revival of
business.
There is vast diversity of oppinion
as to what will be done, but there is a
general agreement that much will de-
pend upon the recommendation Of the
secretary of treasury. All are now
waiting for his annual report, with the
nope th at he will in that indicate clear
ly the course he would like to have con-
gress pursue for the relief of the treas
ury and of the country at large. 1t is
the prevailing opinion that he will,
among other things, ask for authority
to go into the European markets with
United States bonds at low rate of
interest, in order to increase the gold
reserve.
A gentleman we'll versed in financial
affairs has called attention 10 the fact
that the last statement Of the treasury
showed that the net gold IN the treas
nry on Monday of last week was only
$84 SIG, 5l4, and chat there had been a
loss of almost $20 100000 or one-fourth
Of the present reserve since August 10.
"'This," he said sis rather frail sup
port for the paper money the govern
ment has in circulation" He asserted
also that there had been very little
improvement in the treasury receipts
since October l, when Mr.. Carlisle es-
timated that at the present rate of re-
ceipts and expenditures the deficit for
the year would amount to $50 600 GOO.

LITTLE Rock, Nov. 22.-Miss Fannie
Adams, aged IS years, committed suicide
today at El Paso, White county, by
shooting herself with her fathers pis-
tol. No cause can be assigned for the
act. The father of the deceased girl is
the assessor of White county.
Squire Revely held an inquest this
afternoon.
There are rumors in circulation that
the deed was prompted by parental OBJ
lection to the young lady's suitor, but
these are uncontirmed.
She was very beautiful girl, and
had many friends and admirers.

The ThIrd The.

There has been good deal oI complaint of late of pain and in. tiammation in the third toe; some times it affects one foot and some times both are troublesome. Up to date no one seems to have diagnosed the ease properly. Here is an oppor- tunity for some medical research that shall solve the problcm of what many people call the third toe disease.
 In some inst nces the toe is in- famed and sensitive to the touch {; in others there is no outward indica- ton of any difficulty. but all the same there IS continual pain and unedsiness, spasmodic at times, and again steady, aggressive and very irritating to the nerves. The com plaint with some sufferers is that it IS impossible to keep the foot still, with others that it causes a condi- tlon of general nervousness. An other patient says that the pain runs to the heart, and another that It involves half of the body. Some scientist has said that some day we are to have no toes at all. Perhaps this IS the first symptom of this 
 May be evolution has already set m. If so, and the symptoms in- crease m severity, 1t will evidently be painful process.-N. Y. Ledger. 1

Both Were Coanoisseuors.

X rather pointed story is told oI Secretary LOrion Miller and Colonel Chas. r. Hunt. clerk of the second judicial district, which We give without varnish. Upon one ocea- sion recently J. W. Malettc, mana ger of Eakin X Bradv's wholesale whiskey house, thought he would test some old Bourbon before ship ping the simon pure to a fastidious customer The anxious whiskey man bethought him of these two great politicians, who are univer- sally admitted to be connoisseurs in the article and begged their indul- gence in the matter of tasting he liquor. Miller swallowing a sip, locked a little bit critical, tried it again and then said Ut is fair very fair-but," again smacking his lips, it seems to me I taste iron in It." Malette looked discouraged.
 Hunt went through the same pro- cess of tasting and trying, and at last with a twirl of his auburn mus tache, exclaimed That's good very good-but I think I detect a taste of leather"
 Malette's face fell But feeling sure he had a superior article, he investigated. After deligent search he found a carpet tack with a leather cap in the bottom of the cask.- Democrat.

The Stanford University.

The Stanford University is makini
 this year a big stride toward the fu
 ture greatness which its friend
 proyhesy for it, and about whicl
 there is much interesting specula ton.
 It opened another year of its ca reer with the beginning of instruc. tion on Friday last, and now that the institution is in running order again 1t dev, lops some things ol much interest both to the public and to the narrower educational world.
 For one thing, the university starts out with a much larger en- rollment of students than last year There were 765 students last year, and now there are 800 enrolled. From the correspondence of others who have arranged to come, and from the experience of other years. l5O moro are expected within the next few weeks, making she attend ance this year 950. The freshman class Is exceedingly large, numbering iOO. or these new students larger proportion than ever are from the east and from foreign countries. One-half of them are fIom the east which illustrates the fame and pres -ige the university has already gained beyond the Rockies. Two .hirds of the new students are from outside of California.-San Fran 'isco Chronicle.

One oTthe Lost TrIbes.

Scattered over the breezy down.
 of the Nilgherries, in little village.
 of wicker houses that look but lit.
 tie distance like nothing in the
 world SO much as a colony of bee
 hives, lives a community of 600 or ! 700 people who are variously be- lieved to be the descendants of one of the lost tribes of Israel. the aborigines of Southern India and a community of Mapichasens, says the Bombay Times.
 They believe in a strange trinity and a hell, a dismal stream full of leeches, and this they must cross by means of a single thread. The soul burdened with sin is too heavy for this slender support and the sinner falls lrto the stream, but the thread sustains easily the souls of the good. The funeral of Todd, for that is the name of the singular tribe, is as odd m its way as it's religious belief. His body IS wrapped in a new cloth and his toes tied together with red thread; grain, sugar, tobacco and money are wrapped in his funeral toga to provide him for his journey across the Styx and the dark plain beyond.
 Two butfaloes are slain -hasidsf fbe corpse and the-dead mans hands are are P4s;asss.ed laced upon their horns; a peice of his skull, his hair and his finger nails are removed to be used later on at the celebration of the death of all those who, during the twelve months, have taken the leap over the great precipice into the bottom less abyss When these tokens are removed, clarified butter is smeared on the fragrant wood of the funeral pyre and the body is burned to | ashes and the ashes seated to the | four winds.

PiTHN' POINTED AND PERTINENT.
 Senator Teller Is very able man,
 but he made a mistake when he
 said newspapers did not represent
 public sentiment. And in accusing
 them of being run solely to make
 money the Senator shows the neces-
 slty they are under to represent
 correctly the opinions of their sup porters no paper can make money
 without readers, and the paper that
 mlsrepresents public sentiment will
 not long have readers. It may be true, as stated by Senator Teller, that We no longer have editors snch as Greeley and Raymond but that IS only another argument against hlS other statement. Certainly no man familiar with the editorial careers of these two men believes that either of them strove to re- present in their papers public senti ment their papers were makers and leaders of public sentiment. not merely reaectors and followers of il.
 Senator Hale evidently believes that Senator Vorhees is familiar with the difference in the morning" feeling.
 The democrats of the House are giving the country an exhibition oi how to kill time, while they await the orders of the boss.
 Mir. Cleseland is willing that his friends should hint at his approval oi wildcat bank currency in order to placate the southern free-silyer democrats, but we do not believe that he will ever dare to approve such scheme.
 Senator Vorhees does not appear O be leading his party in the Senate O any appreciable extent.
 Tammany and the southern dem 'crats are gleefully anticipating the epeal of the Federal elections laws ut they should remember that he laughs best who laughs last" { 'hese laws have not yet been re- 'ealed. Senator Peher must have a re- ! memory if he can keep ! lack of even the titles of all the 'ol-bills and resolutions he has in | 'oduced. But it really isn't neces- h ny that he should, as he has no il lrther use for them after introduc- t' g them and sending printed copies i l 7. his fellow cranks. n

New Charges 4 Against Phenix's City Mar shaI Acknowledged to be Tr1c~-
 by That Ofiicer.

Mention was recently made 1T
 these columns of charges of SC
 rious nature having been made
 against City Marshal Blankeaship
 of Phenix, and of their dismissal. It
 seems that no sooner was he cleared
 of them until other charges were
 preferred against him. The Gazette
 of Sunday morning speaking of it
 says:
 The city council was in special
 session last night to investigate the charges against City Marshal Blank enshIp for illegal collection of fines. | There was only one witness, Audra | Grijada, who had paid license since the sixth day of last March and no account had been given 70 the city recorder, whose books were com pared with receipts given by the marshal. The first receipt, given March G, was properly signed by the recorderand accounted for, but the other five had not been turnei in City Attorney Chalmers, after com pleting his examination of the wit nesses and the receipts, asked NIT. Blakenship if he had anything to say.
 The marshal arose and said that he was exceedingly sorry to be com pelled to acknowledge the charges. | Said he: ''I have been weighed down with trouble and sorrow in the 1 loss of my little girl and have drank l very hard. | have not been myself I at any time aud whatever 1 may 1 have done wrong has not been in- | tentional. have never meant to do anything like that, but in my condition | am unable Co account for this. l assure you it will never happen again, for after this will be myself. | took an oath today be- fore Schwartz to never take another drop of liquor and have made ar- to begin taking the keeley cure Monday
 After Marshal Blankenship had his statement the council cleared the hall and went into exec itive session like a legislature, at which the resignation of Blankcn- hip was presented and accepted.
 Then the council passed the fol- owing resolution:
 RESOLVED, That we. the city conn ll Of Phenix, after making a thor ugh investigation into the charges gainst City Marshal W J. Blaukrn- hip for collecting fines illegally, do ismiss the same.

4 Wonderful el.n.,.

Nogales correspondent of the

 Smith, the train robber. who was re-
 gently pardoned from the peniten-
 tlary on account of alleged sickness.
 being reported to be dying of con
 sumption, wandered to the above
 town "where he soon felt the effects
 of this wonderful climate. The
 hectic flush, the hemorrhage and the ever present and annoying cough, the bent form and pallid face have, within the short space of three weeks, disappeared, and today he IS alert, active and strong. as sturdy and healthy as the most fay ored denizen of Arizona" The cor respondent adds: His recovery IS so remarkable that the people of this place feel under everlasting obligations to those who assisted him, as it has demonstrated to the world and to those who reside here the fact that We have a wealth in our eli nate of lnestlmable value. It is rumored that a company is being formed, with the N. NJ. X A. railroad back Ing It, for the purpose of erecting a proper sanitarium at this place"

The Phenix Republican anno

The Phenix Republican announ
 ces that HI. H. Harvey, a promi
 nent colored man from Greenville
 Mississippi, is in Phenix, a guest of Aessrs. Shirley and Bolton. MT Harvey has visited Yuma and other Arizona points and it is said he is making preparations to plant a col ony of colored people either here or at Yuma. He said to Republican reporter last night that he had no such a movement in contemplation. but he seems not to want newspaper notoriety and the general impression IS that he is here for that purpose. He IS very favorably impressed with the valley and says he will locate here himself, anyway" The Salt River valley furnishes splendid op- portunities for the colonization of industrious negroes, and such colo nies would prove valuable acauisi- tions to that section.

An exchanre SAYS that P,

An exchange says that President Cleveland has taken occasion tc deny that he is a monometallist and to declare that he is in favor of the utilization of silver so far as it can possibly be done with safety to sound currency. This statement re- garding the presidents position was made by Gov. Thos. J. Jones of Alabama. President Cleveland is in favor of utilizing silver according to Wall street-s- a. That isNan street to fix the ratio. Even Thos. E. Parish is in favor of silver in the same way. The silver man who favors the coinage of silver only on ratio fixed by Wall street is no friend of the white metal, but is a monometalist pure and simple, no matter what he calls himself.
