ABSOLUTELY PURE

see my way clear to approve the bill. ns it is
in many respects an Improvement over the
old law. My objection lies against the
proposition to increase the bounty on wolves
and coyotes from 81 to 81. In support OF this
objection / would respectfully call your at
tcntion to the fact that two years & the
legislature appropriated $4,000 per annum
to the payment OF bountiss. Not only was
this appropriation of $4,000 entirely ex-
hausted. but the deficiency bill shows valid
claims against the state for bounties in
excess of the appropriation. of SIC, 900.
This expenditure by the state of nearly
$50, 0O in two years for bounsies was under
the law providing for the payment OF 81
each for wolves and coyotes. This bill in
the bounty on these animals to S.,
and were it TO become q law. it would, in
my judgment, offer a premium for dis.
honesty. encourage fraud and necessitats

NICARAGUAN CANAL SCHEME.

Judge Holman, of Indiana, Chairman of the
House Committee on Appropriations, does not
hesitate to announce his determined opposi-
tion to the Nicaraguan Canal scheme, when it
comes before the House after the holiday re-
cess. That measure, he says, will be antagon-
lied in the House without regard to any action
the Senate may take. He is aware, he says, that
powerful lobby is here at work in the interest
of the bill, but he is confident that it cannot
secure favorable action this session. Tho
Panama Canal scandal in France, he says will
induce many gentlemen who might have
been disposed to sanction the proposed loan to
pause and reflect. There might have been
chance for such measure II majority of the
members of the present House had failed of
reelection. Many of those who are not COM
ing back may be Indifferent on the subject but
az a majority of the members are reelected
they cannot afford to be mixed up in a matter
which may DO regarded as questionable at
best The Government will hardly enter upon
the canal-building process at this late date in
the present Congress, for if the doors are once
opened in that direction there is no telling
whore to stop. Mr.. Holman proposes to call up
two of the general appropriation bills imme-
diately after the holiday recess, and similar
bills will follow from time to time, thus occu.
plying the remainder Of the session.

SHORT OF JUSTICES,

There was bare quorum of the Supreme
Court of the United States present last week.
Justice Harlan is on his way to Europe as
arbitrator on the part of the United States in
the Boring Sea seal fisheries dispute, and will
not be on the bench again this term nor will
Justice Lamar. who has been in feeble health
for long tme and confined to his house for
moro than week. Justice Lamar has gone
South to recuperate, aud is not expected to re-
turn to the bench at this term. Six members
of the Court are required to constitute quo
rum, and as Justice Gray was absent, owing to
a slight indisposition, the quorum was barely
obtained. Justice Field was on the bench,
suffering from the effects of severe cold, and
his head was covered by a silk skull-cap. The
Court Strengthened out a complication in the
new Circuit Court of Appeals for the Ohio and
Indiana Circuit by designating Chief Justice
Fuller to temporary duty in the Seventh Cir
cult to which Justice Harlan is permanently
assigned. 1t denied the application of counsel
each side to bring up, direct from the Cir
cult Court and without trial in the newly
created Circuit Court Of Appeals, the suit be-
tween the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton
Railroad Company and w. II. Mexican, arising
out of the railway operations of Henry s. Ives
few years ago. This is the case in which the
Circuit Judges were disqualified to act. MAX
ing it impossible to organize he Appeals Court

THE PRESIDENTS Future.

short time ago it was said that President
Harrison might become q resident Of Boston

lished from San Francisco last week. which
said that President Harrison at the expiration
OF his term OF office will become a member of
the faculty of the Stanford University, having
accepted a proposition to deliver series of lee
lures on law as a on-resident professor. This
would necessitate occasional visits to California
from his home IN indianapolis, where il is un-
dorstood President Harrison is to locate, and
might result in his making California his Win
ter residence each year.
The above statement receives partial cobfir

GOOD RESULTS WILL FOLLOW.
Secretary Charles Foster Talks About the
Monetary Congress.

81 think there is popular missapprehen-
sion in regard to results go far, of the lnterna-
tional Monetary Conference" said Secretary
Charles Foster at tho Treasury Department
last week. at is a grave mistake" he said,
"to assume that the Conference will prove to
be failure. The ing of recess till May
was expected by the Administration when the
American delegates left this country. There is
every reason for expecting the Conference to
reassemble at the date fixed upon.
The fact that Mr.. Rothschild made any
proposition for the increased use of silver,
coupled with his declaration that unless some
thing were done to insure its better use among
the nations, very serious consequences would
follow, is in itself very hopeful indication
that the prominent bankers of the world feel
the necessity of reaching an agreement of such
nature as will secure approximate uniformity
the world over in dealing with the question.
So far as my personal connection with the
Conference is concerned, all that expected of
the preliminary meeting has been accomplished.
The general feeling of the Conference is even
more favorable than we anticipated"

West on the 21st of December, and he will
spend the Winter in California. Recent tee-
grams show the safe arrival of the General and
his daughter, Mrs. TOole, wife of the Governor
of Montana, at Rodondo Cal. It is said that
he stood the journey remarkably well, is
looking strong, and his improvement since
leaving the East has been very marked.
Before the General left Washington the physi-
clans agreed that there was no special disease,
and while there were slight symptoms of
paralysis, his condition was due to nervous
prostration, the result of over exertion and ex-
element.

NEW MANSION NECESSARY.

While Mrs. Harrison was alive she exerted
her ability in trying to overcome the objections
of people who protested against the separation
of the private and official portions of the Exec
utive Mansion, while Senator Morrill,, of Yer
mont. has tried to show the Nation that this
plans to put two wings on the present mansion,
SO that while practically under the same roof,
there would be two well defined parts. So far
nothing has been done in the direction of any
change. The present condition az the White
House is the best argument that has yet
been brought forward for this separation of the
private and official portions of the Mansion,
for here is President Harrison practically quar-
antined by scarlet fever in the building which
should always be open to the public. He sees
no one now but official callers, and but few OF
these care to risk spreading the contagion. A
new mansion would seem to be imperatively
demanded

ARTIFICIAL LIMBS.
DIR. Perley, of the Surgeon Generals Office,
Misstates Certain Facts.

Dr. FerIey, OF the surgeon -6eneraFS once,
Misstates Certain Facts.
Representative Sayers. of Texas, has just
completed the investigation he has been max
ing on certain items in the Sundry Civil APP
preparation. Among the items submitted by
the War Department was one of $780, 600 for
artificial limbs for soldiers, and the unusal size
of the sum led Mr. Sayers to investigate the
matter. DIR Perley. of the Surgeon Generals
Office, was called and he told Judge Sayers the
cause. The Doctor said that up to the 51st
Congress soldiers were entitled to artificial
limbs every i've years, or to receive commute
tion of SIS for leg and $50 for an arm. In
the 5lst Congress- however, the period was
changed from five to three years, which legs
lation was not called for by the War Depart
ment or recommended by the Surgeon Generals
Office.
DIR. Perely told Mr.. Sayers that he had reason
to believe that this legislation was promoted by
claim agents who had been in the habit of
receiving the communication for claimants, and
charging them certain percentage for their
services and il was in their interest to have
the claims como in more frequently. 1t was
through their influence that the bill was passed.
The Doctor also said there was not the slightest
reason why artificial limbs should be renewed
even every five years. let alone every three
years, as one limb would last man from six to
eight years with tho hardest kind of service,
and some would last almost lifetime; that SO
per cent. of the men who were entitled to
artificial arms, and 70 per cent. of those entitled
to legs, draw communication instead of the
limbs.
When asked If the law should be repealed
how much money would be required for arti-
fetal limbs for the next fiscal year, DR.. Perley
said SIS, 600 would be su fficient
There is not the slightest ground for DR..
Perley's statement regarding the claim agents
interest in this matter, as all old soldiers who
are entitled to artificial limbs know No repu.
table attorney takes any such percentage for
getting claimants Communication, and there is
no law by which it could be collected or re.
| tained although there is no law against it.
DIR. Perley also ought to know that many men
who take money instead of limbs purchase
their artificial appendages from dealers who
make what they think are better limbs than
| those furnished by the Government.
