BONDS ARE ALL RIGHT
SECRETARY CARLISLE SAYS
THEY WILL BE LEGAL.

Makes Public statement.


John G. Carlisle, Secretary OF the
ing statement:
II has been enormously published In some
newspapers that the Committee on the Ju-
dietary Of the House of Representatives had
agreed to and reported = resolution denying
the authority of the Secretary of the Treasury
to issue and sell bonds. as proposed In his re-
cent circular. and these publications have evil
IDENTIFY made an unfavorable impression upon
the minds Of some who contemplated making
bids for these securities The only resolution
in relation to this subject that has been before
the committee is as follows:
Resolved, That II Is the sense of the House
of Representatives that the Secretary OF the
Treasury has no authority under existing law
to issue and sell bonds OF the United states,
except such as is conferred upon him by the
act approved Jan. L. ls,S; a ssnts an sGs 20
and that the money derived from the SAFE OF
bonds issued under that act cannot be lawfully
applied to any purpose except those specined
II will be seen that this resolution assumed
that the authority to issue bonds was con-
the act Of Jan. "a. 1875 and that such author
ity still exists: but asserts that the proceeds
Of the bonds can not be lawfully used except
for the purpose OF resumption. The official
teleGraphic report of the proceedings In the
committee when the Secretary appeared be-
fore it last Thursday shows that his s. authority tn
member, the only question being whether he
could use the proceeds for any other purpose
than the redemption Of United States notes.
Mr.. Bailey, the author of the resolution,
distinctly admitted the existence Of the su-
thority. Addressing the Secretary Mr. Bailey
said: The resolution does not fmpeach your
right to issue bonds; 1t expressly recognizes
It, but questions your right to apply the pro-
ceeds to any purpose except those specified In
the act The Judiciary Committee of the
House examined and reported upon this same
question during theLlId Congress. and It then
conceded that the authority existed under the
act Of 1875. The question az to the authority
of the Secretary of the Treasury to use the
money In any particular manner or for any
particular purpose is wholly distinct from the
que stion as to his authority to issue and sell
bonds No matter what he may do with the
money the validity of the bonds will not be
affected and there Is. therefore, no reason why
any one should hesitate TO invest IN those Sc
curities on the ground that the proceeds might
possibly be used for other than redemption

Georgia Tax Collector Assumes the Guise
of a Negro Thief and IL Shot.
A sensational story has been re-
ceived from Union County, Ga. Tax
Collector Jones, who lives in the wilds
OF Cooper's Creek, returned on Satur-
day from tour of the county collect
ing taxes. In the evening peddler
we'll known in that locality stopped
at his house, asked for lodging,
and was taken in. After supper
Jones went out to look after
his cattle. While he was gone dis
reputable-looking negro Knocked at
the front door, and when it was opened
stuck two pistols into the faces OF the
peddler and Mrs. Jones. He first de-
manded the peddler's money, and get
ting that made Mrs. Jones bring the
tax money. AS he got it he turned to
go out, when the peddler quickly drew
pistol and firing struck the robber
in the head, killing him instantly. II
was then discovered that the would-be
robber was none other than the tax
collector himself, blacked up.

but the younger Om-
GERS would not yield. The principle
has been firmly established that Amer
lean vessels are not to be fired on.
Admiral Benham, finding that Ad-
miral da Cana persisted in reckless
firing that endangered the safety OF
American merchant vessels, entered a
protest. Da Cana paid no heed to this.
Furthermore, he notified Admiral Ben
ham that If the three American mer-
chantmen, the Amy, Good News and
Julia Rollins, went to the Sandre Piers,
as they had proposed, he would fire on
them. Admiral Benham at once re-
piled that the vessels would go TO the
piers II they wanted to and that he
would send the Detroit to protect
them. II the Detroit could not fur
nish sufficient protection every YES
sci of the American squadron would be
employed in the work Of protection, and
Benham sought to warn the insurgeno

MONEY FOR PENSIONS.
A Total OF s151,6sI,1sO Asked For, and
Will He Allowed.


The appropriation bill for pensions
has been reported to the House by tie
Committee on Appropriations. There
tions, although mate ial reductions
from the expenditures OF last year were
made in the bill. The total amount
recommended for pension expenses for
the fiscal year ending June 30, 1895, Is
SI5I $751; $40, which Is practically in ac-
cordance with the last revised es-
Inmates of the Commissioner Of PEN
sions. The total Is $14, $40, 780 less than
the appropriation for the fiscal year of
1894. which was Sl66, 6,53l 1850, but is
more than the sum applied for pensions
in any year before 1893, when the
amount was s16O. 58l ,7S7, including de-
ficiencies. In detail the expenditures
recommended by the commission are
for payment of pensions. Sl5O,OOO,OOO;
fees Of examining surgeons, Sl,OOO,OOO;
salaries OF agents, S7z, 1000; clerk hire
at agencies, $450,0O0; miscellaneous,
$69,57O.
The commissioners original esti-
mate, based on the operations for the
fiscal year ending June 30, 1893, were
$l62, ,63l $40, but revision reduced them
about $40, 100000. The business OF the
first six months of the year showed q
great falling of in the number OF new
pensions granted and of arrears. Navy
pensions are to be paid 80 Ear as possi-
BILE from the income OF the navy PEN
sicn fund. Some minor amendments
are made part of the bill. One pro-
vides that each member OF an examin-
ing board shall receive 81 for each
applicant when five or less are exam
ined on one day, and 81 for each ad-
ditional applicant. When more than
twenty appear no fewer than twenty
are to be examined in day. No fees
are TO be paid to examiners not present

sAToN THE WoULD-sE RoBBER.
John Dalton Conceais Himself Inside n
Stuffed Buffalo.

A train-robber named John Dalton
was captured by one of the Northwest
ern express messengers beyond Dead
wood, S. ID. Dalton had himself ex-
pressed on the inside of a stuffed buff
falo, but his game was spoiled by his
removing one of the animals glass
eyes, through the socket of which he
stuck six-shooter, covering the mes
senger. The latter, however, got out
of range and leaped upon the back of
the stuffed animal. The back caved in
and he dropped upon the robber inside,
and sat on him until the next station
was reached, when he was tmled over
to the authorities. The safe contained
$4,000. Evidently Dalton had confed-
crates who were to act at his signal.
They have not been apprehended.

moral reputation and business interest
of the State of Kentucky have been so
damaged by the notoriously immoral
character of many of the men, in late
years, at the National Capitol. that there
is now, far more than ever before, a de-
mand that there should, in this regard,
be a radical change
The national reputation of Col Balm is
such that his election to Congress from
this, the most distinguished and historic
district of the State, would do as much to
elevate the State, i'll our own estimation
as well as that of others. as the career
and exposure Of Breckinridge have done
to disgrace us, and to make the name
and fame of Kentucky stencil i'll the
nostrils OF the civilized world; for hardly,
Ill the whole scope of history. is there
any character that has been so deeply
degraded. and by 50 MANY people, as
Breckenridge has been Neither Arnold.
Andre. Booth nor Guitcau have ever been
eNecratcd by 50 many people.
Breckinridgc's crime has made hypoc-
rlsy today the greatest crime i'll the cal
endar of the American people.
The women i'll the East have had a
meeting and demanded that Kentucky
shall not send that man to Congress
again, and have said to his wife that she
ought to sue for divorce
The outlook now is that Breckinridge
will be retired and that Owens will be
nominated. Then the contest will be
between Col. Balm and man whose
friends commonly say of him that he is
a gambler.
1t is hoped, and believed. that there
will be here on the occasion of Col
Bains nomination, large and unthusi-
astic gathering of gentlemen of all politi-
cal and religious views. who desire to do
something to redeem this State from the
low reputation into which il has fallen. &.
