The names dropped from the rolls for all
causes during tho year numbered 5,,eol.
Among our pensioners are nine widows
and three daughters OF soldiers Of the rev
olution and forty-6ve survivors OF the war
Of 1919.
The barefaced and extensive pension
frauds exposed under the direction OF the
courageou and generous veteran soldier
now al the head of the bureau leave no
room for the claim that no purgation or
our pension rolls was needed or that Q n
tinued vigilance and prompt action are not
necessary to the same end. The accusa
ton that an effort to detect pension frauds
worthy veterans and a denial of their
claims to the generosity Of the government
suggests an unfortunate indifference to
the commission of IN offense which has
for motive the securing of a pension and
indicates a willingness to be wllfuliy
blind to the existence Of the many and
treacherous crimes which play upon the
fears and make sport Of the patriotic I'M
pulse OF d grateful people;
The Eleventh Census.
The completion of the eleventh census Is
now in charge OF the commissioner OF
labor. The total disbursements on nc
count of the work for the fiscal year end
ing June 80, 1894, amounted 10 sl0.36', e'6,.
81. At the close of the year the number of
persons employed in the census office wa
$50. At present there are about 400. The
whole number of volumes necessary to
comprehend the eleventh censu will be
twenty-five and they will contain
22,270 printed pages. The assurance
is confidently made that before
the close of the present calendar year the
material still incomplete will be practi
cally in hand and the censtls can certainly
be closed by the 18th of March, 1895. After
that the revision ana proofreading neces
sary to bring out the volume will still b.
required.

Attention Is called to the report Of the
secretary Of the navy, which shows very
gratifying progress in the construction
Of ships for our new navy. All the
vessels now building, including the
three torpedo boats authorized at the last
session of congress, and excepting the first
class battleship Iowa, will probably be
completed during the coming fiscal year.
The estimates for the increase of the navy
for the year ending June 30, 1894, are
large, but they include practically the en-
tire sum necessary to complete and equip
all the new ships not now in commission,
SO that unless new ships are authorized
the appropriations for the naval service
for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1896.

comes to as from Honolulu to the effect
that the English residents of that city
had formed the plan to encourage the
policy Of Cleveland. with a view TO in
duce the queen. when reinstated on the
throne, to offer the islands to Great
Britain. It is needless to say that Eng
land would take them gladly. The
sympathies OF the queen are with Great
Britain, and abe could easily be per-
suaded to fall in line with the policy OF
the English residents OF the Islands.
But thanks to the strong American
spirit that prevails in Hawaii, and the
sympathy OF the American people with
the provisional government, the islands
will not pass over to any other nation
but the United States.

MULLIGAN MUST GO.
JUDGE VAN DYRE DENIES THE
HABEAS CORPUS.
Mulligan Says That 1t Is a Put Up Job
to Collect the Money Due Upon
Note Which He Gave
In New York.

Judge Van Dyke yesterday denied the
motion of Attorney w. E. Arthur for
the release OF William Mulligan, upon a
writ of habeas corpus. Mulligan was
arrested in this city for the crime OF
horse stealing, alleged to have been
committed in New York state. He was
picked up by Detective Auble, who re-
cognized his man from description
cent out at the time the alleged offense
was committed.
Yesterday Mulligan was remanded
into the custody OF the sheriff and will
be returned to the state in which the
theft took place.
Mulligan declares that he bought
horses in New York, and gave his note
as payment.
Becoming pressed for ready money
he sold the animals before paying the
amount due on the note. He declares
that the parties prosecuting him are
making use OF criminal proceedings in
order to collect the money guaranteed
by the unnaid note.
Judge Van Dyke would in all proba..
bility have released him upon writ OF
hsbeas corpus had not Detective Auble
filed an affidavit in which he ewore that
Mulligan was the man wanted In New
York state for grand larceny.

Exsecretary Fosters View of the Bond
Iasue Question.

Exsecretary Fosters View of the Bond
Iasue Question.
TOLEDO, o., Jan. 20.-Ex-Secretary OF
the Treasury Charles Foster says the
story that year ago he had plates made
for bond issue which President Harri-
son stopped is not true. He says he
favored a bond issue in case the re-
serve went below $100,0C0,000, but it
did not do go during Harrison's time.
He declares Harrison never discussed
the point, but he is of the impression
that he would have favored it had the
reserve fallen below the fixed limit.
In reply to question as to whether
the secretary has the right to issue
bonds under the act of 1875, ne said :
ut is my view that the law did not con-
template selling bonds to meet current
governmental expenses which is really
what Carlisle proposed. but he un6oubt-
eddy has authority to sell bonds to re-
plenish the reserve. He can do that,
then pay it out for current expenses,
then sell more bonds to bring up the
reserve again and go on, but this evades
the spirit of the law in my opinion"

Thursday. Now the mother of the girl,
who lives in this city, protests loudly
against the action OF the court in permit
ing her daughter, who is minor. to fall
into the hands and under the control Of
Hayford, whom she deems an improper
person to have any control whatever OF
young girl. 1t seems that Hayford
has influenced her to become a type :
writer with the understanding that she
will have q place in his office. The
friends of the mother are very anxious
about her falling under the influence of
Hayford, and will make an effort to send
her TO convent.

THE weekly financial statements tels

The weekly financial statements tele-
graphed from New York are of great in
terest nowadays. Yesterday the banks
of that city held the enormous sum of
$102, 784, 900 in excess of the legal re.
serve. Such glut of money is simply
unprecedented in the United States.
The same state of things exists in all the
money centers of the country. 1t is an
other way of saying that business is
psralyzed and that we are suffering from
an industrial syncope. No wonder the
capitalists of New York sre clamoring
for more bonds. They are determined
not to employ their money in vitalizing
our industries or in giving an impetus to
enterprise. Three per cent suits them
better than any speculative returns,
however large. Where such policy, if
long continued. will land the United
States is matter for serious considers.

ART IN WATCH WORK.
A Branch of Mechanics Which Has
Made Gigantic Strides.
The Importance of Having Any Necss-
sary Repairs on "a Watch Done by
Competent Man Many Fine
Timepiecss Ruined by
Poor Work.


''What's the timer" is question which every
man is asked, on an average, at least once q
day And how mort flying it is to be forced to
reply, my watch is out OF order" And yet
everyone's watch does get out of order at some
period or other. Like every delicate mechan.
ism, it has its bad times Then there is avery
important question to decide. 1t is "What
jeweler sha j the watch be taken tor" An in
competent mechanic will do as much damage
as q cyclone in Kansas town. T erefore, the
jeweier should be carefully sele sted. There is
at least one in town who may be relied upon
for first class work and good judgment. M
Geiman, No. 800 South Spring street, realizing
the Importance of go watch work, has made
a specially of it in his business. He employs
three OF the finest watchmakers to be found in
the country. All have had ears of experience,
and Mr.. German there fore feels perfectly safe
in guaranteeing their work, which he does for
all his customer Another specially of this
establishment is in manufacturing jewelfy.
Whether the job be only small one of per.
haps only a dimes WORTH or q presentation
piece worth many hund eds of dollars, it is
equally well handled. Twenty mechanics of
tbs highest class are employed, and every de-
psrtment of jewelry maaufa curing is repre-
sented. Should you have anything to be re-
paired, or a design to be IN de up, or need any
thing in the line of jewelry, go to NO. 800
South Spring street, and secure work in the
highest style o + the art.

CONGRESSMAN BAILEY has introduced q
bill in the house of representatives pro.
viding that a bond shall be issued in
small denominations for the payment of
pensions. These bonds are to have a
legal tender quality, and would circulate
as money. This is q practicable and
eGectual way OF increasing the volume
OF the currency. They would be every
whit as good as q greenback or ma
tional bank note, and after couple OF
years they would afford decided relief
to the people. expanding our circulation
to something like the needs OF the bust
moss of the country. When we have at
tanned reasonable per capita their issue
could be stopped. OF course i: is
scarcely necessary to say that sensible
measure like that has no chance of paas-
ing congress-.

The logic of Mr.. Sovereign, touching
the secretary Of the treasury's right to
sell $50, 900, 900 worth OF bonds to guard
against any deficiency in the gold re-
demption fund, ie clear-cut and COM
pact. If the treasurer was by law COM
PEELED to keep sl0O, 900, 900 in that fund,
he has violated it by paying out any of
it for other purposes. If he is not re-
quired to keep that sum in the fund, it
is premature to attempt to replenish it
by the sale of bonds whilst over $780,
100000 are still in it. 1t ia evident from
the avidity with which New York bank
ers are making bids for the bonds that
they have not considered the question

Mr.. Dole. the president OF the

proven himself, in his correspondence
with Minister Willis, not only tactful
statesman, but diplomat of a very
high order. He draws the line with
astonishing fnesse between the answers
which he should send to Willis and those
which he deems of imperial character.
Whenever Willis puts to him questions
that should properly be answered in
Washington. he ignores the minister
and sends his replies direct to Cleve-
land through the secretary of states

gun when it comes to large public affairs.

The Los Angeles HERALD estimates
the orange crop of the present year in
the southern counties at not much less
than 10000 carloads. Two years ago
1000 carloads was considered a large
crop. This year three stations of River
side alone will fill up $500 cars. In view
of this rapid increase in the supply the
main question is to find markets for the
present as we'll as the future.-[ Ventura

We HAVE undoubtedly reached stage
in which it is necessary to apply bust
ness methods to the orange industry.
1t has grown to tremendous proportions

carloads were all that claimed attention.
Great care should be exercised in the

ization and system are essential. The
day has passed when indiffe rent fruit
will pass muster. There are thousands
of acres planted in orchards that ought
to be devoted TO corn. potatoes or al
falfa. Only soil cabable of producing
the very finest fruit should be planted
in oranges or lemons. Instead of the
mad rush for citrus fruits. hogs should
be raised on land where there is the
lesst doubt about it's exact adaptability
to the citrus fruits. With the ability
