The fractional inducement for
political ascendency don't exist IN
the anti option bill as it did in the
anti lottery crusade, hence the moral
complexion of the gambling wears
a different face entirely to the men,

Louisiana. Such is life.
The Auditor is still being talked
about because Of his unwarranted
raid upon the printers pay. The
Bastrop Appeal, one of his erst
earnest supporters has this to say:
This .snit settles matter of more
than ordinary interest to the news
papers of Louisiana, and it corrects
an opinion, given to tax collectors
by Auditor Heard, which he will
doubtless now consider and change.
At the rate charged by the Enter
prise nobody ever saw fit to raise
any objection until Mr.. Heard came
INTO Office. His objection must have
been prompted by the superabund
ance of s.bile" which kept him in
bed so long last summer, and now
that his liver is straight again it is
to be hoped that he will yield to
the judicial decree that has gone
forth against him and rescined his
sweeping order to tax collectors con-
corning newspaperrates for adver-
Using.
To which the Ricliland Beacon
News adds the following emphatic
declaration.
We have before expressed our
opinion upon this subject in man
ner not to be misunderstood. Mr..
Heard bas placed himself in an awk-
ward position. 1t may be that he
was backed by ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
Cunningham. In any event he is
wrong and the press viii not forget

Mr.. Heard has placed himself in

Some officials seem to think that the
press is the only party that should
DE restricted. It is also fact that
the press does more gratnitous work
than any other class, yet we find a
great retrencher coming to the front
as Auditor Heard and proeialming

Tho Treasury Department. Very Tardy
This Month.
WASHINGTON, July 13.-,It iH under
stood that the treasury department is
not required by the Sherman law to
purchase 4 4.5000 900 ounces OF silver each
month. The law reads that 'the secre-
tary of the treasury is hereby directed
to purchase from time to time silver
bullion to the amount OF 4, SOC, 900 ounces,
or 30 much thereof as may be offered in
each month, at the market price
thereof" etc. Under this construction
if the price does not suit the department
it is held the purchases need not be
made in any special month. 40 long as
the aggregate is maintained. The de-
cision az to what is the maaket price is
made by the director OF the mint, who
makes the purchases. The acting direc-
tor of the mint expects to get the full
quota this month.
The treasury has received notices of
the acceptance of its counter offer of 7l1a
cents for silver to the amount of $4,000
ounces. The purchases thus far this
month, out OF the total legal require
ment of 4,500,000 ounces, amount to
only 76s, 900 ounces.
The gold reserve in the treasury has
increased 100000 since yesterday, and
now stands at $98, ,093, al. But on the
other hand the currency decreased from
S27, ,353 .SS1 to $4,000, $50, in the same
time, owing to heavy payments on &C.

The Nicaragua Canal Construction Com
pany Compelled to Close Down.
New York, July 13.-The Tribune
will say in the morning: The Nicaragua
Canal Construction company is out of
funds, and has stopped all work upon
the Nicaragua canal. For some time it
has been rumored that they have been
effected by the general stringency in
money. and it has also become known
that there are some internal dissensions
in the company, and that there has been
great disappointment that the manage
ment failed to obtain loans from this
country and from England. Yesterday
the officers admitted that work
on the canal was stopped. They
say that the failure to 60 ahead
with the work is simply and solely the
failure to raise money. and they had not
much doubt when business affairs be-
came easier work would 60 on. For the
present, however, the vast planti in Cen
trail America will remain idle. 1t has
been intimated that the stoppage of
construction is due partly to political
troubles and revolutions in Central
America. Those changes would, how
ever, have caused comparatively little
trouble to the company, had it been
supplied with funds to 90 ahead with
the work.

: New YORK, July 13.-This afternoon
the hopeful feeling among bankers be-
came more pronounced. Frederick D..
Tappen, president of the Gallatin Ma.
tional bank, said one Of the most neces-
sary things was the resumption of nor
NAL relations between the sub-treasury
and the. clearing house. No clearing
house loan certificates were issued today
and none retired, but it is known that if
the same easy conditions prevail next
week, some large blocks Of certificates
will then be retired. Tappen said this
afternoon there would be no trouble in
the money market. Money, he said,
would probably be easy right along, and
within a week or ten days there would
be superabundance of currency here,
particularly in notes of small denomi.
nations.
Brokers say they expect to see Gme
money in good supply in about week
or 10 days. Settlements at the clearing
house between banks are in the proper
ton OF 81 X per cent cash, the remainder
loan certificates. This is decided in
crease in cash. The eub-treasury was q
debtor at the clearing house this morn
ing in the large sum of 81, ,103, 1881.
Sterling exchange is quiet and steady.
The supply Of bills has fallen off and in
quiry is light. Gold is expected by the
steamers leaving the other side Eatur-
day, but the amount is not known. Rep
resentatives OF foreign houses generally
look for gold imports later in the year,
provided some. settlement is made OF the
currency question, and orders falling
due in August are extended by foreign
capitalists. As for the immediate future
they do not, as rule, expect much gold
to come this way.
Half a million dollars OF gold arrived
from Havana, and $125, 900 from Lon
don, today.
Silver certificates were .frmer today,
