TO SENATOR SAM

The person or public servant that
covers before duty is worse than the
cur, who,probably likewise purchased,
dares to vote against the wishes of
his constituents. That Sam Peterson
is already damned by his Republican
constituents for voting against Senator
Davis is almost universally known;
that he will be doubly damned by ev-
cry taxpayer in the district for dodg-
ing vote on the Markham bill, he,
when he sneaked out of the senate
chamber before the vote was taken,
probably realized. He continues the
traitor, now bold and defiant, now
covering, sneaking, cur like. Legis-
lation wanted by his people he OPP
poses; Legislation not wanted by them
he openly advocates. Verify the time
of retribution is near at hand, when
this scum of political hell will be rele-
gated to his position on the right side
of Satan, and suffering constituency,
SO long blinded by party ties and his
unfu]filled promises, will have the op-
portunity of seeing him in the true
light. The political days of this trait
or are oyer. Railroad gold and rail
road greed will not, very soon again
have chance to meet his gaze.

remarked that Notwithstanding the

one that the demand for some law to
eliminate the monstrous system of

Out About $4,000. 900 of Govern

ms TREAsuRY RENEFIrEp.


WASHINGTON, Dec. Sl-ln all that
has been recently written about the
depleted condition of the United States
treasury little or no account has been
taken of the fact that with each
passing year the treasury is
large gamer by the complete de
struction by casualty of its out
standing obligations. How much this
amounts to, what percentage each
year, etc, the best statisticians of the
treasury department have no means of
definitely learning. No two of their
figures are alike. Since 1862, when
the government began to Issue paper
money, IS, S19, cog, los have been issued
of all kinds and denominations up to
July 1, 1892. Within the same period
Sl,s52, 451, 629 have been redeemed,
leaving outstanding July /, 1892, as
liability against the government S967,-
177,479.
In an exhaustive inquiry on this sub
ject made by United States Treasurer
Hyatt it was estimated that the aggre-
gate loss on all the issues up to
January, 1883, would not be less
than SIS, 700, 900. This estimate did
not include the fractional cur
rency-50-cent, 25-cent, 10-cent and
scent shinplasters-in such ex-
tensive circulation for the few years
following the war. Secretary Sher-
man construed the act of June 81, 1879,
as stating that IS, 375, 1874 of fractional
currency issued under various acts had
been destroyed and the debt statement
as issued monthly carries as a debt
bearing no interest but 6,90S,
462.62 of this fractional currency.
United States Treasurer Nebeker,
however. carries the full amount on
his books and in his report this year
states that more than S15, 900 of
this fractional currency is outstanding,
though it has practically gone out of
circulation, and but little more than
81, 600 was presented for redemption
last year. That which is outstanding
is held to a great extent by collectors
of coin and paper cabinets and its value
as such is greater than its face value
as money.
The aggregate of United States cur
rency, fractional and otherwise, est
mated to have been destroyed and not
likely TO be presented for redemption
Appropriated by these figures more
than S14, 600 900. A recent estimate
prepared in the treasury department
places the sum as high as 100000, 900.
This money can only be taken
out of the liabilities Of the
government by 90 rressional en-
actment This vii, ohahly be at
tempted in the near future The in
vestigators into this subject have
shown that most of the money lost has
been destroyed in railroad wrecks that
caught fire, though no inconsiderable
quantity has been destroyed by fires
that occurred in country banlSs post
offices and residences.
