THE FINANCIAL POLICY Of THE
ClON.

The speech ''rhe Tall Sycamore OF
the Wabash" delivered in the United
States Senate, day before yesterday,is
invested with considerable signlfi-
canoe, as it undoubtedly outlines the
financial policy ofthe administration.
For this reason the gentleman's S
concluding propositions are worthy
of serious consideration.
There are six in number, but only
five relate to the regulation Of the
currency, the sixth being a asugges.
tion to levy an income tax which
would, it is evident, be intended to
do away with the necessity ola high
tariff.
The first proposition advanced by
the learned statesman, is that there
should be a sufficient volume of cur,
rency on specie basis. guaranteed by
public honor. TO this no objection
can be raised. provided the basis be
sufficiently broad to require the
absorption of the American produc-
tion of silver.
The second-that individuals OF
corporations be deprived of the
power to cause fuctuation in the
currency-and the third that gold,
silver and paper should be kept at
par-are likewise unohjectionable.
The fourth-that the status Of sill
yer money be settled by authorizing
it to form a portion OF the specie
basis required by the constitution
for chartered banks-is, however
anything but acceptable. The
"s,atus" of silver, if fixed in the way
suggested, would leave the bulk OF
our product commodity. This i
the cause of the whole trouble tina
we are having.
The fifth is neither more nor less
than a proposition to permit tn
opening of Stale banks, with their
wildcat currency.
These propositions were evidently
adduced by master mind. They are
calculated to de,ach the South from
the silver cause at the outset, while
satisfying in measure the popula
demand for additional currency.
The result Of these proposition
will, it is to be feared, be that man,
Congressman will indorse them il
tr Ter to cover their detection OF tn
cause of the masses.

CLAIMANT TO MATTHIAS ESTATE.

A Legal Marriage ALLEGED.

A Legal Marriage Alleged.
The claimant to the franklin Matthias estate
who has suddenly appeared proves not 70 b
Julia Intsrmela, daughter of skookum Susie.
the reputed common law wife of Matthias, but
the daughter of another eQuaw, named Rsbecca.
The claimants mother, Rebecca, went to live
with Chris scheuerman early In the sixties at
his ranch on Salmon bay, and little Rsbecca
was raised by him. When she wa about 10
years OF age abe married m engineer named
Holmes. who worked on the Columbia 4 Puget
Sound railway. Holmes died four or i've years
ago and she soon Afterwards married her present
husband, Victor Graham, Q boilermaksr.
Several oldtimers say that there never was any
talk Of Rebscca - Matthias child, but that Julia
was SO regarded by soma
Jasper N. Turner. Of Turner d Bshrens, who
represents MIRA Graham declares that Matthias
mot only lived with and acknowledged Rebscca
- his wife according to the laws OF the terri
tory. but that he expects to prove that . mar
rage was celebrated. The old timers. he says,
all knew the girl - Matthias daughter, and she
went BY the name OF Rebecca Matthias. When
Rebsccs was little girl her mother left Math-
ias and went to live with Chris schsusrman. but
Matthias continued to provide for the girl and to
acknowledge her - his daughter. This 10 the
FIRST time that Mrs. Graham has ever taken any
steps to assert her claim upon her fathers e.

tent Witnesses from among the old settlers to

The proposed merging OF the ONCE OF sewer
inspector with that of plumbing inspector has
precipitated a conflict between the board OF
health and the Master Plumber Association
Al the monthly meeting OF the board OF health

of the master plumber and some severe strfc-
lures were made on Plumbing Inspector Brown,

posed action caused a strong opposition among

adopted declaring that the plumbing inspector

In q proper manner and that to require him TO
