ANY y who will read and n
der the following statements from
Dun's Review, a most reliable Jour
nal OF finance and trade, may gather
some faint ideas as to the manner in
which the affairs of the treasury de-
partment are NAL administered. Men
anticipative of a bond sale are turn
ing in paper to the treasury and ex
tracing gold thercfrom. BY the
time the ponds were placed on the
market much of the gold they real
lied had already been extracted from
the treasury, so what is the govern.
ment to gain by the sale?
Dun says:
The decision to offer $50, 200, 900 of
bonds for replenishment of the treasury
reserve was by bankers generally ap-
proved, but events are showing that res
toration Of confidence cannot by itself
remove all embarrassment. 1t is gener-
ally assumed that the offered bonds will
be taken at once. There have already
been some Withdrawals of gold from the
treasury by redemption Of notes to make
payments for bonds, and goods, rather
than gold are likely to come from Eu-
rope. Money continues to accumulate,
none going west, while the outgo to the
south has diminished.
Again, upon the subject of reven-
ues received, to show how silver and
paper are allowed to accumulate at
the expense of gold, a New York dis
patch to this journal says:
Duties paid here this week amounted
to Sl,S3O,S65.26. as follows: Checks,
principally against deposits of legals,
and Sherman notes, 81 ,37S,5s5.26; legal
tenders, $217,600; silver certificates,
$4,000; treasury notes, S5S,O5O: silver,
S2,205; gold, $425.
The above is disheartening in the
extreme. 1t but proves the utter in.
capacity of the administration to
meet issues and emergencies in a
wise n Revenues have been
reduced by a change of laws. The
past fifteen months have seen $50
millions added to the national debt
which, under the present rate of in
crease will, early in the next year,
easily pass the 1000 million mark.
About the only conclusion deduct
BILE from that of the completely ASST
nine character of the administration
is the universal public amazement
that the country is able to stand up
under the load. The more we think
of it, the more we admire a country
of sufficient to resist such
a strain.

brought down by the elevation of silver
Sherman boasts that silver will never
be restored, and unless something is done
for silver, what is to become of the great
mining states. The outlook is blue. ]
can't understand the devotion of the
mining states to republicanism; but that
example of loyalty should have some in.
tluence upon the party receiving its hon.
age and induce it to advance the inter.
ests of those states. / hope they will dc
something and do it soon.

Collection Of the Income Tax.

A Washington dispatch says Sec
rotary Carlisle will ask congress for
an immediate appropriation of $780,
600 for the employment of addition
al deputy collectors, etc., for the
purpose of putting the machinery
for the collection of the income tax
into practical operation. The law
takes effect Jan. l next, but all the
machinery for its enforcement must
be prepared for in advance of that
date. Mr.. Pugh, who is in charge of
the income tax division has prepared
the necessary regulations, but will
not make them public for several
weeks yet, as they are subject to re-
vision. The blank returns for indi-
vidual and corporation incomes have
been prepared, and will be ready
for issue in good season. 1t is feared
that confusion will result in returns
from individuals interested in cor
porations, and every effort will be
made to obtain exact data in such
to insure the collection of the
proper amount to tax. These blanks
will be ready for distribution about
the middle of December.

Accident at Independence Mine.

A special to the Independent of
Nov. 81 says: A telephone message
was received this morning from In
dependence asking that medical aid
be sent there for two miners who
we're injured by the tramway at the
Independence mine. Reports from
there this evening say that both men
are dead, and hat the bodies will be
brought to Big Timber tomorrow for
coroner's inquest. About three
weeks ago a mar named r. E. Up
ton was killed on the same tramway.
and the c%oroner's jury in that case
brought in a verdict hat Upton died
from his own carelessness.

The Star of Bethlehem, a paper
published in Leeds, England, has the
following editorial comment to make
OF the late strike in Chicago. 1t says;
GA big revolution is now going on in
the United States of America, and
there is little doubt that the govern
ment will be defeated. The dictator,
Debs has been driven from his palace
and he and his ministers are now in
hiding in the mountains. The great
est trouble is being experienced In
the capital at Chicago, where Cleve.
land, the ringleader of the rebels, has
obtained complete control. The rail
road tracks at that place have been
torn up, and thrown into the Missis-
sippi river, a stream considerably
longer than the Severn. The stock
yards, where the government palaces
are situated, have been RACED to the
ground. The trouble was started by
a man named Pullman, who has a
stronghold in the mountains of Him

vinces of the country"

lr Is amusing, says the Benson,
(Minn.) Times, to note the desperate
efforts of one or two of nj populist
exchanges (there are not so many of
them now trying to keep up their
courage and to convince their read
ers that sit wasn't much of a shower
anyway" as the mar clinging to the
highest branch of the t~allest tree on
the mountain said to Noah when he
refused to take him into the ark
Without a governor or legislator re-
elected, only one of their present
members of congress returned, and
their candidate for governor in this
state showed deep down under a
plaster of 81 900 votes, when he ex-
pected to be elected, it takes a stout
heart and a strong imagination to
gather much consolation from the re-
suit.

lT Is amusing to note that the flu
sionists of Meagher county, flushed
by their recent victory, have boiled
over and sputtered until they actual

They Have the Money.

The fire department has $40 to
it's credit at the Bank of Townsend,
says the Trenchant, which will be
used for the purchase OF hose and
the sinking of wells in that live
young city. When the project was
first advanced, some thought it an
impossibility, but men of push have
taken the matter into hand and it
will be only a matter of time until
Townsend will have as good fire pro-
lection as any of the smaller towns
in the state.

HOW THE STATES STAND.

Free silver advocates are quite
anxious since election to see a state
ment from a reliable source of the
stand occupied in the various states
relative to the silver question. A
handy table has been prepared by
the Empire of Finance and Trade,
sufficient to make the subject clear.
Thes state are here classified accord
ing to the text of the platform of the
respective victorious parties.
"Free coinage" appears in the
platforms of the %victors in eleven
states, viz: Alabama, Arkansas, Cal
i%fornia, Colorado, Idado, Montana,
Nevada, North Carolina, North Da-
kota, South Carolina and South Da-
kota.
Favoring bi-metallism are added
twenty states as follows: Delaware,
Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana,
Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Massachusetts,
Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Neb-
raska, New York, Ohio, Oregon,
Texas, Tennessee, Vermont and Wis.
consin.
Of these, Maine and New York
call for an international agreement.
Florid, Iowa, Kansas, and Oregon in
dorse the Chicago platforms. Geor-
gia and Ohio say, "To restore silver
to its place as a money metal
Michigan, Texas, and Tennessee ode
mand the use of both gold and silver
as standard money" Vermont and
Wisconsin are "for the continued use
of silver in our circulation" Iowa
does not want mono-metallism, either
silver or gold" In Missouri, all
parties ''favor bi-metallism.' Him
DIS ~sfavors the use Of both silver and
gold as money metals on a parity Of
value" Indiana wants ga currency
composed of gold, silver and paper,
readily convertible at a fixed stand
ard of value, and entirely under nat
ional control"
Pennsylvania %"favors the expan-
sion of the circulation to $40 per cap
ita," and is otherwise -committal.
Rhode Island favors national banks.
The rest of the states appear to be
non-committal, as they are not listed
in the table.
This report bears upon a vital sub
ject and leads up to the question of
how these states will stand together
in the next house. The eleven "free
coinage in regard to politics are: 6
republican; democratic; | fusion
democratic and populist, and / silver
party. Those ~'favoring bi-metallism"
are: II republican; } democratic.
The reasonable conclusion from these
figures is that the republicans will
be expected to lead off in the con-
sum nation of the proposed reform.

AN INTERESTING LETTER.

Hon. John H. Hill of West Super
Tor, Wis, a warm personal friend of
our enterprising fellow-townsman,
Judge Richard Bennett, with whom
a close correspondence has been car
ried ever since they separated some
years ago, writes a letter upon the
present political situation which is
interesting indeed. Mr.. Hill is a ma
tive of California. He entered the
law profession and practlced in the
courts at Grand Forks a near neigh
Dor of Mr.. Bennett, yet differing
from him in politics.
In this letter the author manifests
a thorough knowledge of western
customs and needs. He is a close
student of current politics and doubt
less voices the sentiment of the mas
SEES of the east, especially of those
with whom his large practice calls
him into daily contact. The tone of
the letter is especially healthy. He
SAYS:
WEST SUPERIOR, WIS, Nov. 2O,'94.
FRIEND BENNETT:
| trust you are in good health
and hope you are able to see in the re-
suit of the late elections some radiant
hope of silver legislation. As for my
self, | have given up all hope and am
unable to believe that the republican
party will do anything toward placing
silver where it should be. However,
should Reed be the presidential candidate
there may he a silver platform; and if he
is nominated upon such a platform, he
will be elected. The whole matter as it
is now is a fight between the bankers and
the people; and the bankers will win in
the coming session of congress, for they
nave Cleveland to hefp them.
Inc last election was IA great surprise
TO me. cold not see much hope for
inc democrats, but | thought the pops
would absorb the dissatisfied elements of
democracy, and win all through the
Mississippi states. The result, how
ever shows the desperate condition of
the people. They cling to straws in the
desperation of their drowning. The pa
pers say that Cleveland is planning a
new currency scheme, and it he does, it
will be in the interest of the national
banks. Something should be done, even

CHICAGO. March "A sensa tional
charge of brutal treatment of insane
patients at the detention hospital by the
administration OF last year was made
in a report Of the public service commit
