The New Government Bonds.

In the past two years the government
of the United States reversed the rapid
debt paying policy that has characterized
the country since war times. One hun
dred million dollars have been added
to the national debt. Fifty million
dollars in government bonds were sold
in 1898, and $50, 900, 900 more are
being sold in 1894. Large appropria-
tions and no money to pay them
caused the issue of the bonds. The
bonds of 1898 were sold at premium
that made them practically 8 per cents.
When the $50, 900, 900 per cents Of
1894 are finally closed out, the expecta.
ton is that they will have been taken at
such price as to cost the government
really not more than 8 per cent interest.
In 1876 the act was passed under which
the now bonds have been offered. 1t
empowers the president Of the United
States to borrow gold and issue govern
ment bonds therefor. The gold is bor-
rowed in order to keep sufficient sup
ply of the yellow metal in the treasury.
The new per cent bonds run ten years.
They will doubtless be SO popular as an
investment that there will not be half
enough to go round The president did
not wait for congress to approve this is
sue of bonds because he did not think
congress would give him its approval.
The opinion of British fnanciers is
that even this $50, 900. 900 loan will not
check more than temporarily the flow
of gold from the United States to Eu-
rome.

D. W. CALDWELL His very appar-
ent talent for the railroad business and
his executive ability then led to his
securing the Office of general superin-
tendent of the Pittsburg and Connells-
Vile railroad. In 1859 he became gen.
eral superintendent Of the Central Ohio
railroad, an office he filed until 1874,
when he resigned to accept more adj
vantageous position as general manager
of the Columbus, Chicago and Indiana
Central, the Pittsburg, Cincinnati and
st. Louis, the Little Miami, the Cincin.
natl and Muskingum Valley, the Jeffer.
sonville, Madison and indianapolis and
the Vandalia roads.
He held this important position until
1881, when the Pennsylvania road again
employed him, not as clerk, but as gen.
eral manager of all the Pennsylvania
lines west Of Pittsburg. In 1889 he was
elected vice president Of the Nickel
Plate road. He was appointed receiver
later, and when the road was reorgan-
lied in 1887 he was elected president.
He pursued cut rate policy that caus-
ed considerable comment in railroad
circles, but during his regime, which
ended very recently, he succeeded in
raising the road from q condition of al
most hopeless bankruptcy to a place
among the sound roads Of the east. He
resides in Cleveland and although a
bachelor is very liberal entertainer.

20 draw a proportionate share Of the
products Of the association. The asso-
ciate members will give their aid in
either money or labor while they are on
probation and will be entitled to all the
privileges Of the colony except the priv
ilege of voting. When they are believed
to have absorbed the true principles Of
Bellamy nationalism, they will be re-
ceived into full membership. The asso-
citation owns nine building lots, which
were decided the colony by Edward
White, one IF the members, in exchange
for colony certificates. No money will
be used by the colonists except in their
dealings with the outside world, and
they will build houses and manufacture
different articles as means Of liveli
hood.
Dune Harms, who displays such an
interest in the colony, was an oil re-
gion character almost as celebrated as
Coal Oil Johnny. He was born at Harms
Station, in Butler county, Pa, 81
years ago, was boring for oil in West
Virginia before the war, entered the
United States army at the age Of II,
fought throughout the rebellion and
left the service a first lieutenant. After
the war he returned to the oil business,
and at one time he had an income Of
$4,000 day from single oil we'll.
Dune was fond of champagne, and
whenever he made rich strike he
would smash every silk hat in town and
pay for them the next day. He was at
one time considered worth So, 600, 900,
but lost nearly all his money fighting
the Standard Oil company.

Important to Men of Fashion.

II beg Of the young men that still
wear very long frock coats and think
themselves we'll dressed to stop it at
once" says The Saunterer in Town
Topics. 1.-THE long frock coat has been
out Of fashion for weeks, and London
coats are now made extremely short,
ending above the knee and branching
out like ballerina's skirts. This notice
should be put up in all clubs. I see that
even some of the Knickerbocker men
are still clinging to their last winter
freak frock coats, with skirts that all
but scrape the ground. And suppose
everybody has seen the new London
derby hat. 1t is as fiat as pancake and
looks considerably like q fried egg."

New YoPk's New Constitution.


The changes that will be made in
New York's constitution In pursuance
of the decision Of the voters at the late
election will be the first that have
been accomplished in many years. New
az states have already incorporated in
their supreme law many Of the points
which New York is now to adopt fol
the first time
Tho amendment which attracted most
discussion was that against lotteries and
race tracks and other gambling. It aims
a deathblow at pool selling and book
making. After specifying certain for
hidden things the new clause says.
"Nor shall any lottery or the sale Of
lottery tickets, pool selling. bookmakine
or any other kind Of gambling be here
after authorized or allowed in this
state" An important amendment was
that which forbids the legislature ever
to pass any law limiting the amount OF
damages from injuries which cause
death. Heretofore, plainly in the inter-
est Of powerful railway and other COM
panies, the outside limit for death dam
ages was fixed at $4,000, small sum
for human life Hereafter any sum
judge and jury see fit to decide on may
be levied as damages. An excellent
amendment is that which forbids public
officers Of any rank to accept railway
passes or telegraph and telephone
franks. The person who disregards this
provision will, on the suit Of the attor-
ney general Of the state, forfeit his Of
fee. Railroad corporations and other
companies are forbidden to offer passes
or franks to public officers Election
and registration boards must in all cases
be bipartisan.
Another provision commencing itself
a. especially in accordance with the
spirit Of free American institutions is
that which forbids henceforth and for
sver any public moneys being diverted
to the use Of sectarian schools No edu-
cational institution under the control,
wholly or in part, of any religious de-
nomination, or one in which any par
tioular religious doctrine is taught, shall
receive share Of the school fund. Those
who wish to train their children in par
ticular theological doctrines must pay
for the privilege out Of their own pock~
cts, which no doubt they will gladly do.
For legislative purposes cities are d.
vidod into three classes. and voters iv.
ing in towns Of less than s, 900 are not
required to register before voting. Leg
islative representation for the state Of
New York has been increased in the
senate from % to so; in the assembly,
from 1879 to $50.

Wherefore She May Soon Have the
Army Back There.
The San Francisco Chronicle of yester-
day has the following on this subject:
"The question of supplying financial
aid to the Second Regiment of the In
dustrial Army, now at Sacramento, was
discussed at the meeting OF the Super
visors' Finance Committee yesterday.
chairman Jones announced that the
Mayor had received a letter from Mrs.
Annie K. Smith, commander of the regi-
ment, making formal demand upon the
board for assistance to get away from
Sacramento. The letter stated that un-
less this aid was given the army would
have to return TO this city.
"a representative of the Federated
Trades implored the committee to render
the desired aid as a matter Of prudence
He thought anything should be done
rather than have the army return to this
city TO become an additional burden upon
the taxpayers. In his judgment the bet
ter plan would be 10 assist the army out
of the State, thereby removing what
might become harassing competition to
the mechanics in this city.
1.-THE committee discussed the matter at
length. Supervisor DundOn was opposed
to the proposition and designated the
banding together of unemployed men as
a menace to the well-being of society.
He did not believe the board had author
ity to render relief in the premises. After
some debate the committee instructed the
Clerk to notify Mrs. Smith that the board
declined to take action in the matter"

AN INDUSTRIAL GONE.
Michael Welsh, Who Came Here Sick.
Dies at snowflake Park.

Dies at snowflake Park.
The death of one of the members of
Barker's Industrial Army was reported
to Chief Drew yesterday morning, but no
particulars of the cause was given. The
name of the deceased was Michael Welsh.
He was stonemason, 53 years old. and
has relatives in Galveston and Chicago.
AS it was stated that he was refused ad-
mission to the County Hospital. when
very sick, RECoRD-U UNION reporter
made inquiries on the subject. 1t was
ascertained that he applied TO DR.. Fowler,
the City Physician, stating that he wished
TO 60 TO the hospital. Dr.. Fowler wrote
to DR.. White, the superintendent, stat
ing that he could not find the Mayor and
not knowing the proper course OF pro-
cedure in the case, he would like DR..
White TO receive him. ii he thought him
very sick and could do so.
Welsh went to the hospital, but DR..
White was in San Francisco and Mr..
Holdsworth, the steward, had received
orders TO admit no one unless he had a
proper permit. He therefore declined TO
receive him and the man was taken back
as far as Guthrie'S, where Supervisor
Morrison was telephoned to that "a mem
Der of the Industrial Army was very sick
there and liable to die. He replied that
he dld not think that he had any right 10
care for the sick of other counties, but if
the man was very sick, for humanity S
sake, to take him to the hospital and tell
Mr.. Holdsworth to telephone TO him,
which was done. He asked Holdswo orth
If the man was very sick and was an
swered that he would not talk or answer
questions, and the suggestion was made
that he be sent to the City Physician for
examination, Dr. White being absent.
II he gave him a certificate that he was
sick enough 10 need it he could then be
received. 1t was so done, but it is not
known that be was ever taken to the City
Physician again. He was taken to the
park and cared for in tent there.
DR.. White states that if he had been at
home he would probably have received
the man, although there were 225 patients
there and they were very much crowded
with the sick of the county, for whom: he
is obliged to care. In his absence, how
ever, Mr.. Holdworth could do no other
wise than he did. 1t has been ascer-
tanned that Welsh was sick when he
joined the army in Oakland, and was
prescribed for by its physician on April
10th, long before it came here. There are
said to be more sick men to-day at Snow
flake Park than could be possibly accom-
modated at the hospital.
