The County Commissioners Asked
to Contract no More lrreg-
uIar Bills.
uIar Bills.

Yesterday G. A. Witherell served
notice Oh the County Commissioners
not to pay out money on any more
bills not authorized by law, as there
is not now any more money in the
treasury than is sufficient to pay the

GERS and other estimated liabilities,
fixed by the law for the remainder
of the year, shall equal the money on
hand in the treasury at the time APP
plicable to the payment of such sal
aries and said other liabilities, then
no allowance shall be made of any
account, nor shall any expense be
incurred other than salaries and fees
and fixed liabilities, expressly au
thorlzed by law, during the remain

Fighting News.

A private letter from Soldier Wal
ken says that fellow in this part of
the country calling himself Miller
is going round saying that he tried
to get fight out of Walker, but that
the Soldier was afraid of him.
The Soldier says if Miller will dig
up $3.50 or more, he will fight him.
Beals and Millen are both train
ing hard for their finish fight on the
night of the Dunn-Purcell contest,
and good deal of money is being
wagered on the result. This fight
alone will be worth going to see, as
there has been considerable rivalry
among the two young men, and they
propose to settle as to who is the
best man. The purse is not very
large, but that dent make any diff
ference to them.
Purcell is as hard as spikes, and is
ready to fight to night if necessary,
and the reports from Dunn's head
quarters indicate that he is Just as
well off.
Manager Geo. Allen says that if
Purcell whips Dunn he will have
him to fight the coming month in
Carson. Allen thinks Dunn is going
to surprise few people and those
who know Purcsll, claim that he is
good man to put money on. Neither
of these men can afford to lose by
any crooked work, and in fact
neither have ever been connected
with fakes, so a red hot mill is bound
20 occur.

ENGLISH FINANCES.

This year there has been no rebound in
English national finance. The year closes
with deficit, aud provision has to be made
for rising disbursements by Increased taxa
ton. Various causes have contributed TO
this dismal result. Dull trade has PLAYED
its depressing part the world over and Eng
land has had her share. Labor troubles
have been not only numerous but gigantic,
and numbers Of Industries have been par
alyzed. Shipping, both in building and in
transportation, has been so stagnant that
thousands of men have been out of employ
nent and hundreds Of steamers have been
without charters. Financial crashes have
added their quota 10 the decentralization.
These unfavorable conditions have cock
isted with tendency to greater expendi-
ture, and it is no surprise that the budget
estimates Of last year are out of reckoning.
The familiar device of increasing the tax
on incomes above a certain amount is re-
sorted to. No one pays a fathing of this
who receives less than $3.50 a year, and all
incomes of less than $1,000 are taxed on a
reduced amount. The income-tax falls upon
the well-to-do class, and an extra penny per
pound is no great grievance. The amount
produced by a single penny. however, is
over 100000, but in these dull times
there may be serious decline in the col
lection. Il is q safer national policy to pro-
vide for deficits out of fresh taxation than
10 meet these emergencies out of the sink
ing fund for reduction of the national debt
a makeshift policy which may be popular
at the moment, but is permanently disas-
trOus and burdensome. On the whole, the
English fIanci year is better than might
have been anticiDated

SHERMAN NOTES.
morning contemporary saws:

morning contemporary says:
The Sherman notes are paid fer silver bullion,
and nothing is fairer than that they should be
Tedeemabe in silver coin, at the convenience of
the Government.
The Sherman notes are issued in payment
of silver bullion at its gold valuation. Conse-
quently gold should be paid for bullion SO
purchased. The Government says to the
holders of silver bullion, I'VE will give
you 60 cents in gold for 100 cents worth of
silver at the silver valuation" Having
bought this silver at 40 per cent discount.
by promising to pay in gold, it is proposed
that the Government pay the 60 cents in
silver. While it is stipulated in the notes
Issued in payment of silver that they may
be paid in gold or silver. the clear under
standing is that silver should be Kept at
parity with gold. So long as the dollars of
the two metals have equal debt-paying and
purchasing power.it makes no difference in
which kind of money the notes shall be
paid. But if the gold dollar and the silver
dollar should part company the notes
issued in payment of silver at its gold
valuation must in common honesty be paid
in gold. The payment of greenbacks in
gold is less obligatory. When greenbacks
were issued they were made payable in
coin of either metal. AS they have always
been paid IN gold, there Is an implied I'M
Outstanding that they always will be- Even
il the country should reach the single silver
standard it is probable that bonds, green
backs and so-called Sherman notes would
be paid in gold

IRREGULAR STEPS.

a morning contemporary reprints several
public documents to show that in hosting
the American flag on public buildings in
Honolulu Minister Stevens exceeded his ill.,
structions. Among the documents quoted
is letter from the late Secretary Foster
drawing a line between conditions under
which the act would be justifiable and con-
ditiOns under which it would be aisavowed.
But Secretary Foster allowed the flag to re-
main where Mr.. Stevens had placed it. In
the march OF events very often some irreg-
ular steps are taken. If the question
whether the territory coded TO the United
States at the close Of the Mexican war had
been submitted to the people occupying that
territory the chances are that the American
flag would D OF now be flying from any point
on the Pacific Coast. The people of neither
California nor New Mexico were in 1s47
anxious to become citizens of the United
States. If we go back to Jefferson's time
and inquire how Louisiana was obtained
we Will find the course marked by con-
slant succession of irregular steps. The
people of Louisiana were yanked into the
Union whether they liked il or not And
yet jefferson was the father of the Demo-
cratic party, and in the estimation of many
men almost as wise and conscientious Il
statesman as Grover Cleveland. Whether
il exact accordance with Instructions or OF
the raising of the American flag at Hawaii
was the thing to do at the time, it prom
ised the only solution of the Hawaiian prob
lem that is possible without war. There is
no evidence that it was regarded with disfa-
y0r at the time, except possibly by the
Paul Neumanns, who lived on the crumbs
that fell from the royal table. The opin-
weight in estimating the relative merits of
forms Of government, and it is not likely
that the Sandwich Islands variety win ele-
Yate the standard.

TRANSPORTATION BRISK.

Business by the Panama route is so pros
porous that some step must be taken to
provide further accommodation for ship
pers. 1t is eminently satisfactory to have
steamers leave San Francisco with full
caTgoes and return from Panama also
weighted down to the load line. But freight
is so bundant that hundreds of tons have
to be left behind. This is the case at
Panama, even with so heavy a freight car
rier as the Keweenaw. At Central Ameri-
can ports also thousands of bags of coffee
are ready for shipment, and the North
American Navigation Company's steamers
have the choice. The outlook is therefore
very encouraging for the new movement in
sea transportation. Desperate efforts are
being made by the Southern Pac' fic again
TO get the mastery. Cuts in Western as well
as Eastern rates are now announced from
New York, but not from Boston, Philadel-
phia or Baltimore. These reductions apply
TO class and commodity rates, but in the
latter case only San Francisco is named as
a terminal. Clearly the North American
Navigation Company's policy is a good
medicinal blister for the Kentucky corpora
ton. The benefits of competition will
inure to trade just as long as our merchants
indorse the sea route. and happily there
are no signs of weakness or knuckllng
down to seductive scheming. MI Leeds is
confident that the Panama Company will
arrange its schedules to suit the occasion.
There is neither encouragement nor disap-
pointment in what is occurring. The policy
OF freezing out was foreseen, and the new
era of competitive trade is not fleeing but
permanent

THE GREAT TRUsT-NILLER.

The discovery has been made that the
best way to bseak up trusts is by competi-
ton. Whether Attorney General 0lney had
anything to do with the discovery is not
stated. Mr.. Olney would not proclaim the
fact OF discovery If it were his. One of the
most telling arguments against the Harrison
administration was the undeniable fact
that trusts had flourished without any con-
siderable check on the part of the Govern
ment The Chicago convention resolved
against trusts, and Mr.. Cleveland, in his
inaugural message, put in two or three pom
derous paragraphs on the same side of that
issue. But Mr.. Cleveland's Attorney-Gen
eral IS still corporation counsel for two rail-
roads, and his salary from this source is
doubtless much greater than as Attorney
General. 1t is a very good time, therefore,
for the discovery to be made that after all
the best way to put trusts TO sleep is to give
them dhse of competition. II Is now said

GOLD BONDS.

1t is not apparent from what source the
Treasury Department derives authority to
issue gold bonds. The resumption act au-
thorized the treasury to issue bonds to the
amount of $50, 600, 600 TO enable the treasury
| to redeem greenb backs in coin. but at that
time there was no question of the right Of
the Government to pay It's notes in coin of
either metal. The silver act had Just gone
into effect and the dollars coined under it
were declared legal tender for all Govern
ment dues. A proposition at that time to
Issue gold notes would have been hoWled
out of the Congress which passed the Bland
act over President Hayes veto. The Treas
ury Department Will have to devise some
other measure TO arrest the tendency to-
ward silver payments.

THE BRUSSELS CONFERENCE.

The delegates TO the Brussels monetary
conference have before them the most i'm
portant issues in the international politics
of The day. The conviction is growing
everywhere that the universal demonetiza-
tion Of silver will bring on financial crisis
in which large part of the worlds indebt-
edness will disappear. The disparity be-
tween the amount of gold in the world and
the paper currency that is based upon it is
so great that crash can hardly be averted.
But there are difficulties in the way of get
ting back upon the double standard. So
large part of current indie b:edness is made
payable in gold that payment in silver, at
that metals present commercial value, is
partial Reputation. The plan most likely
to be adopted is TO combine TO purchase sill
yer in such amounts as to insure its appre-
citation. There is much reason to fear that
