BOND SALES BRISK,

NEW YORK, Dec. 4.-Harvey Fisk & Sons say: The sales of government bonds by the syndicate have been about S15, ,000,- O0O and another advance in price is mmi- nent. The balance is likely to be absorbed in the early future, as aside from the in- vestment inquiry there is an active de- mand for the bonds to escape the income tax as we'll as local and other taxes.

PRESIDENTS FINANCIAL POLIO

The greatest interest felt in the Presi- dents message was in regard to the fnan- cial feature. His recomme D dations in this respect are gladly received by all those who desire safe aud sound currency, and any apprehension that may have been felt has been entirely relieved. The Presidents idea is virtually the Baltimore plan, with one or two amendments in favor of the in- creased stability of the currency. It has been urged against the plan submitted by the bankers assembled at Baltimore that it did not secure the currency sufficiently to guarantee the full faith of the people in its stability-in other words, it was con- tended that the Baltimore plan put the National banks behind the currency in- stead of the government. It is a well recog- nized fact that the people prefer the gov ernment indorsement of the currency to any other indorsement whatever. The faith of the people in the government will stand when faith in all else fails. The plan submitted by the President does not relieve the government of responsibility, and yet provides an elastic currency and one that will answer any demands upon it.. He also suggests method by which the treasury notes can be utilized. Under the existing law these notes are taken 10 the treasury and ex- changed for gold. If the government could cancel these notes all would be we'll, but un fortunately the law requires them to be reissued, to be again put in circulation, and again they are brought up to the treas ury and gold demanded in exchange. As the President says, "this forms an endless chain.'' He recommends that these notes be used as part of the reserve fund of the National banks, to be deposited by them with the United States Treasurer, and thus they will be retired from circulation, and their place supplied by National bank notes. The President also recommends the removal of the 10 per cent tax on State banks, and that State banks be allowed to issue notes under proper governmental supervision. This will give additional in- crease to the circulating medium of the country.
 In fact, the fnanciers who can find fault with the Presidents financial plan must be hard to please. He favors an increase in the circulation, and this answers the de- mand for more money. He clearly con- tends for stable currency, and this re- moves ths<ntear of a debased circulating mediu

THE KENTUCKY BLYTHES.
Petition for Rehearing in the Su-
preme Court.

A petition for reheariDg Of an appeal
in the Blythe case las been filed with the
Supreme Court by the legal heirs of S. w.
and E. B. Holladav on behalf of Ell. T..
Blythe, representing the claims of the
Kentucky. or gypsy. heirs.
This claim. alleging the deceased
Thomas II. Blythe to be of Scotch descent,
and to have no connection with any FAM
lily of the name of Williams-a content tion
entirely opposed TO the findings of Judge
Coffey in his elaborate decision on the
case-was the most bitterly fought of any
claim in the case. Photographic copies Of
the celebrated Williams letters were intro
duced in evidence. and pronounced by the
appellants to be forgeries. The speeches
of S. w. Holiday and his son Burke oc-
cupied several days. and their indig ma ion
was openly expressed when Judge Coffey
denied their motion for new trial with
cut taking the subject under moments
advsement
The Supreme Court. while not admitting
it as indisputably proved that Florence
Hinckley WAS the daughter of Thomas H.
Blythe, decided that Judge Coffey as the
trial Judge must be better a BILE to Judge of
the evidence presented than any one else,
and further deciding that none of the
other contestants presented proofs of a
better claim, affirmed the decision. The
petition for a rehearng of the appeal of
the Kentucky Blythes is probably only a
forerunner of several others.

design has been the sky line"
Visitors to the Mayors reception-room
do not unanimously agree upon aDy model
in particular, owing to he confusing slmi-
larity in many OF the designs. but great
many favor Justice" owing tosthe ap-
propriateness of the idea and the repre-
sentation of perfect figure.
Others believe that an original design
representing California would find more
favor in the public mind, and to that
end the people have been invited to make
suggestions through the press and tO the
City Hall Commissioners.
1t is understood thai Barrett and Or fifth
are preparing another design which may
find greater favor in the eyes of the con-
nOisseurs and the public than any Of those
now on exhibition.
II is undisputed that the firm is the Oh ly
one on the Pacific Coast that has been
recognized in carrying out fine art and
decorative sculpture.
Its members have had the advantage of
STUDYING in the greatest of European
academies. and among the more recent
works turned out by the firm the following 2
may be mentioned. namely: Statue for the
Sharon estate, another for Madison g.
city, white marble high altar Tor the Van
Ness-avenue cathedral. portrait bustof the
late Fred Castle, which has been recog-
nized as life picture. portrait bust of he
late MIR. Brownstine in the Hills of Eter-
nifty Genet cry, and another piece Of work
which IS prominent figure In the Home
of Peace Cemetery.
The firm has also prepared several
statues in bronze, and The members are
in
fine works in marble.
Although the commissioners, Messrs.
Elert, Broderck and Creswell. have
patiently studied the collection they are
far from decision. and II is expected th at
plenty of time will be taken so that no
mistake will be made in the selection of an
appropriate model that will readily be
recognized by visitors as representative of
a public building where justice shall at all
times rule.
There is keen competition among the
sculptors of the city and so far as known
the designers of "Justice" are in the front
ranks
"Sheridan's Ride" by Barrett & Smith,
was greatly admired by artists and tn 9
public. and an Eastern newspaper in re-
ferring to it. said: THE sculptors who
prepared Sheridan's Ride deserve credit
not only for the design. but for its execu-
ton. which was SO we'll carried out, and il
has made the firm famous in this line of
business"
There will, as Is usual in competition
for public works, be considerable wire
pulling in connection with the selection,
but it is the desire OF the comm ssioners.
of which the Mayor is chairman, that tiu .
merit and an appropriate design will only
be considered and 1t is therefore safe 10
assume that considerable care will be taken
in making the selection.
