4 WASHINGTON, Oct. 3.-The gossip abo,r
the nomination of Mr.. Van Allen to be
minister to Italy has served to bring up the
whole question of our foreign representa-
ton. Mr.. Van Aliens case emphasizes the
truth of a claim that has long been made
by people who are familiar with our diplo
matte system. This is that we must revise
our plans to the extent at least of increas
ing the salaries which we pay our foreign
ministers. The time has come when no
American can afford to take one of the
first class missions in Europe unless he is
wealthy man and willing to spend very
much more than his salary in acceptably
filling his post.
The gossip about the Van Allen case has
brought out the fact that former ministers
to Rome have resigned because they could

" CATCHING ON"
A Lively Demand Reported for Sacra-
mento Property.
People From Other Portions of the
State Looking for Opportunities
to Invest Here.

Sacramento is all right. The busy hum
OF factory machinery is already heard in
the air, and instead of real estate being
depressed by the Capital removal buga-
boo, prices are holding up, if not really
stit1ening.
In conversation with a prominent bust
ness man of this city yesterday a RECORD
UNION reporter was told that transactions
IN real estate here are becoming very
active.
Furthermore" said he, sit is healthy
activity, not mere boom increase, and
the buyers are from other parts of the
State. a short time ago I advertised
! some lots for sale in the city papers, and
in eleven days l received sixty-four an
swers. Last year 1 put in a similar adj
vertisement and only received three an
swers in all.''
He added that the greatest number
stated that they saw the advertisement in
the RECORD UNION. Continuing. he said:
sold three lots as the result of my
advertisement. One was sold to a gentle
man from Vallejo, and one to a Wood
land man. | asked the Valleioite, from
curiosity. what his reason was for buy
ing here, and was informed that he was
selling out his property there and had
been looking around for an investment.
de thought at first that he would buy in
San Francisco, but it was too cold there.
Then he thought of Oakland, Los An
geles ana other places, but finally de-
clded on Sacramento. He said he found
by inquiries in different parts of the
State that Sacramento had fine climate
and that it was beautiful residence city
The recent movement toward building up
The record-union., 1893-04-20

business activities, coupled with the cleo
trio power which the city is bound to
have from the mountains, has satisfied
him that Sacramento must grow and be-
come in time large city.
Not every place. said the Vallejo
man, can combine all these advantages.
Some manufacturing places are unpleas-
ant TO live in; some pleasant places lack
your saluprious climate, but they double
and treble your death rate; and some fine
residence towns lack the energy and pro-
gressiveness which have carried Sacra-
mento through disastrous floods and
fires in the past, and which, with re-
newed vitality, are giving her start APP
parently toward the enlargement and
widening out of her business interests.
These things have decided me, after con-
siderable Investigation, TO invest what
money have III this city, and l have no
fear but that the future will justify my
expectations
1t was stated that the Woodland gentle
man referred to had also imbibed the
same sentiments, and was therefore in
vesting here.
Inquiry yesterday among the real es-
tate agents confirmed the statement that
real estate is firm, with an increased de-
mand, and that is very largely from
strangers.

struction of the building, about $4,000,
Tor which mortgage was given upon lots
In the Central California Colony, and

FOR A SOUND CURRENCY.
PRESIDENT CLEVELAND'S LETTER
TO GOVERNOR NORTHERN.
Believes the Purchase Clause should
BE Repealed and Is AstOnished at
the Delay of the Senate in Taking
ActiOn-NOt Opposed 10 silver.

ATLANTA, Ga, Sept. 27.-In reply to
a letter from Governor Northen asking
the president to give his position on
financial matters, Mr.. Cleveland has
sent the following reply:
EXECUTIVE MANSION.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Sept. 25.
The Hon. W. ]. Northen:
My Dear Sir-I hardly know how to re-
ply to your letter of the 18th inst. 1t
seems to me that l am quite plainly on
record concerning the financial question.
My letter accepting the nomination to the
presidency, when read in connection with
the message lately sent to the congress in
extraordinary session, appears to me to
he very explicit 1 want a currency that
IS stable and safe in the hands of our peo-
pie / will not knowingly be implicated in
a condition that will justly make me in
the least degree answerable to any labOrer
or farmer in the United States for a
shrinkage in the purchasing power of the
dollar he has received for a full dollars
worth of work for a good dollars
worth of product of his soil.
/ not only want our currency TO be of
such character that all kinds of dollars
will be of equal purchasing power at home,
but / want 1t to be of such character as
will demonstrate abroad our wisdom and
good faith, thus placing US upon a firm
foundation and credit among the nations
Of the earth. l want our financial condi-
lions and laws relating TO our currency so
safe and reassuring that those who have
money will spend and invest IT in business
and new enterprises instead OF boarding IT,
You cannot cure fright by calling il foolish
and unreasonable, and you cannot pre-
vent the frightened man from boarding his
money. 1 want good, sound and stable
money, and a condition OF confidence that
will keep it in use.
Within the limits of what have written
1 a friend of silver. but 1 believe it's
proper place in our currency can only be
fixed by a readjustment of our currency leg
islation and the Inauguration of a con-
sistent and comprehensive financial scheme
l think such a thing can only be entered
upon profitably and hopefully after the re-
peal Of the law which is charged with all
our financial woes. In the present state
of the public mind this law cannot be built
upon nor patched in such a way as to re-
lieve the stagnation.
1 am, therefore, opposed to the free and
unlimited coinage of silver by this coun-
try alone and Independently, and l am in
favor of the immediate and unconditional
repeal Of the purchasing clause OF the So
called Sherman law. 1 confess am
astonished by the opposition in the senate
To such prompt action as would relieve
the present unfortunate situation.
Ny daily prayer is that the delay oc-
casioned by such opposition may not be
the cause Of plunging the country into
deeper depression than IL has yet known
and that the democratic party may not
be justly held responsible for such a Ca
tastrophe. Yours very truly
GROVER CLEVELAND.

'HOOsier' pioneer who braved the un-
known dangers Of the forest, not with
the greed of gain his sole absorbing
thought, but with his soul filled with the
noblest inspiration of our race, to build
home that he might leave a goodly in
heritance to his children. / mentioned
10 you the name Of 'HoOsier' by which
the citizens of Indiana Is known far and
near. l regret there are q few whose
ears have grown to faStidious that the
name offends, but as for me I love the
name and honor 1t. IL is the synonym
OF sturdy manhood. untiring energy,
sterling integrity, untiinching courage
and a hospitality so broad and generous
that has not its superior I'm all the world.
IL was the strong right arm or the
'Hoosier' that felled the forest, bridged
the rivers, pushed forward roads over
HILL through prairie and marsh and
laid the foundation Of an empire in the
grandeur Of their state. We love him
who can paint the picture of the humble
life; find poem I'm the simple annals Of
the poor and sing the sacred home
songs Of his people. None other has ever
done this better than the Hoosier poet,
James WhitcOmb Riley of Indiana"
Mr.. Riley recited one of his poems,
when the Frost is on the Pumpkin"
and was warmly received. The crowd
tried in vain to recall him.
President T. w. Palmer of the national
commission spoke in a happy vein.
Douglass Shirley Of Kentucky concluded
the speech-making and then the "Hoosier
Nightin gales" sang. There were calls
for Frederick Douglass and Thomas r.
Reed but the former declined to speak
and the eX-president could not be found.
A reception to the governor and staff
and the speakers of the day followed in
the building. Tonight there were fire
works on the lake front in honor Of the

THE CASE OF Mr.. VAN ALIEN
WILLIAM c. WHITNEY MAKES PUB
LILO A LETTER.
The Same i'm Answer to Stories Com
corning the Ex-Secretary's COnnec-
ton with the Case-ThinI<s the
Rhode Island Man Is Wholly Com
petent.

NEW YORK, Sept 27.-The Hon. w. c.
Whitney this evening makes public a let
ter in reply to certain allegations con-
Meeting him with the appointment Of J. ].
Van Allen to the Italian mission. Mr..
Whitney replies to the published state
ment that the president was Disguised
with the idea of appointing Van Allen, and
he tried to avoid it. On the other hand,
he had Mr. Whitneys promise to Mr.. Van
Allen to face. Mr.. Whitney told the pres
ident Of his promise and urged its full
hllment'
The ex-secretary of the navy, in support
of a denial of the above statement gives
for publication a letter addressed by him
to the president under date of June 20, in
part as follows:
Il made it clear to everybody in the
campaign that 1 would assume no obliga-
tons, tacit or expressed, as to Offices or
appointments. and you are quite aware
that you have not been asked to perform
any contracts of this nature so far as
know.
Mr.. Van Allen is a gentleman and gave
what he contributed 10 the campaign
freely and from an interest in the success
of the party He had previously Unidentified
himself warmly with the party in Rhode
Island. and his candidacy has the support
of nearly every prominent party man in
men TO see that his warm support Of our
party should not initiate against his can
didacy.
II therefore break the silence which I
have heretofore maintained since the in
auguration to say that 1 know Mr.. Van
Allen very well, that he is, in my judg-
ment, in every way adapted to the posi-
ton which he seeks, and that 1 sincerely
hope that the malicious stories which have
found their way into print will not affect
him adversely.
There is no obligation upon you to APP
point him to any Office, but there is adj
ditionaI reason for appointing him that,
as the result of very patriotic generous
and cordial support of the party in the
late campaign. when friends were few and
calls We're great. This. you know, is the
first time you have been approached by me
on the subject of appointments"
Mr.. Whitney adds, that Mr.. Van Allen
had the support OF his state for this APP
Dointment, was personally known 10 the
president and was selected as the gen
tieman deemed competent and Mt for the
post

TOLEDO, O., Sept. 26.-Lawrence T.
Neal, democratic candidate for governor
of Ohio. opened the campaign in this part
Of Ohio with a largely attended meet
ing here this evening. He was assisted
by that eminent free-trader. the Hon
Frank Hurd, and to all appearances the
meeting partook more Of national than
stae issues and Mr.. Hurd, who spoke
first, said among other Things:
Not always have my friend (meaning
Mr.. NeaD and myself agreed upon all
questions Of democratic policy, but upon
the question Of free trade we are one.
A cOwardly committee at the last con-
vention which nominated Grover Cleve-
land had not the courage TO declare for
what the democratic party demanded
free trade. But the fact that the demo-
cratic party was firmly and unalterably
opposed to the principle Of protection.
which is a plunderer and a fraud, would
not have been publicly declared were 1t
not for Lawrence T. Neal"
Mr.. Meals speech was the less in
teresting Of the two. Mr.. Neal declared
he was in favor Of bimetallism and i'm
mediate tariff revision. The Mckinley
tariff, he said, was a robbery Of the
people and should not stand. Mr.. Neal
then proceeded to arraign the McKin-
ley administration, charging it with cor
rupuon and general malfeasance, and
upbraiding IL for increasing the bonded
Indebtedness of the state to the amount
Mr. Neal claimed, Of $50, 100000. Refer
ring a second time to the Mckinley :
BILL Mr.. Neal said II was "the maiH
cause Of the depression Of business in
the country and for the closing down Of
the mines and factories. and that pros
perity would only come by the strict
adherence TO the principles advocated IN
the national platform Of the democratic
party-that the naked and undisguised
Mckinley bill was for taxing Of the
farmers, the laboring men and mechan-
les, who earned their living by the
sweat of their brow, for the benefit OF
the trusts, syndicates and private cor
porations, and that when taxation was
used for any other purpose than for the
levying of money TO carry on the gov
eminent economically administered It
was robbery and nothing more"
