CERRO GORDO.

To-day and yesterday are the
anniversaries of the battle of Cerro
Gordo, which was taught just forty
six years ago. 1t was a two-day 8
conflict. So far as known there are
but three men now living in the State
of Kentucky who were in the fight,
and these are Capt. j. H. Crawford,
of this city, and Gems. S. B. Buckner,
and Don Charles Buell.. Capt. Craw-
ford was in the Second Infantry, Gen.
Buell. in the Third and Gen. Buckner
in the Sixth.-(Louisville Commercial

all the requirments OF the situation
and If all who are really interested to
maintain sound and stable currency
would assist the Secretary of the
Treasury to the extent of their liza
bilities, the existing difficulties would
soon be removed"
In addition to this statement Secre-
tary Carlisle said that 100000 in
gold had been taken out of the SUBJ
Treasury in New York to-day for ex
port. The class of money paid into
the sub-Treasury for this gold with
drawal included $400, 900, in gold GER
tificates, which to this amount did not
reduce the gold reserve, because they
themselves were practically gold. So
the actual gold reduction of the day
was only 100000, leaving the balance
as stated above. This is the first con-
siderable amount of gold certifica ties
paid into the sub-Treasury for go Id
export for many years, and encour-
ages Treasury officials to hope that the
banks, seeing the situation, will con.
tinue to present gold certificates il
part payment at least for gold with
drawn for export.

Will Be Maintained-Mr. Sec
rotary Carlisle Makes I'm
portant Statement of His
Policy.
The Secretary Evidently Does
not Propose to be Bulldozed
By Wall Street.

Secretary Carlisle made the follow
ing statement regarding the financial
situation:
Gin the exercise of the discretionary
powers conferred upon the Secretary
of the Treasury by the act of July IA,
1890, he has been paying gold fer the
coin Treasury notes issued for the
purchase of silver bullion, and he will
continue to do 30 as long as he has
gold lawfully available for the pur-
pose. Under this process the Govern
ment has been and is now paying gold
for silver bullion and storing the silver
in its vaults, where it is as useless for
any purpose for circulation and re-
demption as iron, lead or any other
commodity.
"The Government, in the first place
issues coin Treasury note in pay
ment for silver bullion, and then the
coin Treasury note is presented at a
Treasury and the gold is paid out
fer it; so that the effect is precisely
the same as if the gold were paid
directly for the silver in the first in
stance. About 100000 of the gold
which was Withdrawn from the sub
Treasury on last Tuesday for shipment
abroad was paid out on these coin
Treasury notes, No order has been
made to stop the payment of gold
upon these notes; nor has any one
been authorized to say that such an
order would be issued.
"The purpose of the Government to
preserve its own credit unimpaired
and maintain the parity of the two
metals by all lawful means will not be
abandoned under any circumstances.
1 Tn view of the existing legislation, the
only question for consideration is as
to the measures that ought to be
adopted to insure the accomplishment
of these purposes, and upon this ques-
ton there is, of course room for wide
differences of opinion.
"The total stock of gold coin and
gold bullion now in this country, in
Guiding what is held by the Treasury
as we'll as what is held by the banks
and individuals, amounts to about
$74O,0O0,000. When 1 came into the
Treasury Department on the 7th day
of March, the amount of free gold on
hand had been reduced to $9S7000,
but by arrangements with Western
banks it was increased until, on the
lst of April, it amounted to nearly
100000. Then heavy shipments
began to be made, and two days age
we had only about $4,000, but now
it amounts to $SS5,000, after deduct,
ing what has been withdrawn from
the sub-Treasury to-day for shipment
Arrangements are now in progress:
by which more gold is to be procured
from the West, and it is hoped that g
sufficient quantity will be secured tc
keep the gold reserve intact. There
is gold enough in the country to NEE

On

Endorsement for PostmasteH
Of MT. Sterling.
A Democrat Will in tho Immedi-
ate Future Displace the
Present Republican In
cumbent,
Get a Move on Yourself, Brother
Johnnie!

On Saturday afternoon Mr.. Geo. G.
Everette, one of the several good Dem
ocrats who have been applying for
the Mt. Sterling Postmastership, re-
ceived telegram from Congressman
M. @. Lisle saying that he had given
to him his endorsement for Postmaster
here.
The other applicants, so far as we
have heard, yield gracefully to the in
evitable and are rendering TO Mr.. Ev-
erette their congratulations on his
victory.
There were number of good men
applying, any one of whom would
have made us an acceptable Postmas-
ter, but they could not all get this
plum, and now that Mr.. Isle has an
nounced his decision, each one wants
to see Mr.. Everette installed as soon
as possible.
The good humored manner in
which the defeated ones are receiving
their quietus is winning for them the
most hearty approval from every one,
We hope each one of them will get
something better than the Post office
Now that Mr.. Everette has received
the endorsement we hope the case
against Mr.. Wood, the Republican
hold-over, will be pushed with vigor
There are many reasons why Mr..
Wood should be made to vacate, and
let them be urged till the good Demo
crat who has been endorsed shall have
charge of the affairs of the office.
Pack your collar-box, Brother
Johnnie!

Assistant Secretary Hamlin has de-
cided a peculiar case. An American
citizen moved to Canada temporarily,
carrying with him his effects, among
which was colt two months old.
He returned two years after, and the
Collector at Cape Vincent, N. Y,
charged him duty on the colt, as the
colt had materially advanced in value.
Mr.. Hamlin decides that in such cir
cumstances, when the value of ami
mails had been increased by natural
growth and not by ''any process OF
manufacture or other means, animals
of domestic origin were entitled to
free entry.

migrants.
New YORK, June 2.-The United States
senate committee on immigration resumed
its Investigation here to-day, Senator Hill
presiding. The inquiry related to alleged
violations of the contract labor law and
failure to prosecute offenders by the proper
officers of New York, New Jersey and
Philadelphia
Maitland Kersey, agent of the White
Star line, was examined. He described
the operation of the new law requiring the
steamship companies to arrange immi-
grants in blocks of thirty, and objected to
1t as entailing great additional work upon
the employees of the steamship lines and
confusing the Immigrants
John Conkfng, an inspector at Ellis
Island, said he believed the contract labor
law was constantly violated. Contractors
here 10 instructed the immigrants that
they found no difficulty in swearing them
selves.
Meyer s. Isaacs then took the stand. He
Is president of the Baron Hirsch fund,
which he described as q charitable fund.
The fund has been spent in aiding immi-
grants to come to this country. Money
10 frequently advanced to immigrants soon
after their arrival here, he said. Witness
did not know that prosecuted Jews were
aided to come to this country. No large
communities of Jews have been established,
but many small ones have been started
which have been successful. This class of
immigration is the best that comes here.
said Mr.. Isascs. The people do not be-
come public burdens. Colonel Weber
was questioned. He was commissioner of
immigration at this port for three years.
Witness.said his duties In connection with
the Hirsch fund were those of general
adviser. He told of visit he made to
Russia and spoke deprecatfnely of the
Russian Christians f'God forbid that
they should come to this country" he
said. "They are mostly ignorant and
don't even know enough to emigrate. {"
His researches, he said, had proved
that English speaking immigrants fur
nished larger proportion of criminals
and psupers than non-English speaking
immigrants
"Convicts, lunssics and idiots should be
kept out of this country" he said 81 do
not think too many immigrants are coming
here. 1 do not think any considerable eff
fort is being made to attract immigrants to
this country. do not believe in increase
of head tax"

sion and soon adjourned subject to call of
