To hha Editor of the nENncPAr. :.

-ft' Court Interpreter Berra.
To the Editor of the DEMOCRAT:
In your paper on Monday last you stated
that attacked Court Interpreter Berra in
a series of vile epithets because the inter
prefer had obtained some evidence against
some friends of mine. I used no epithets
whatever to the interpreter. The prls-
oners were not friends of mine. One of
the prisoners was in my employ and had
discharged him for dishonesty and had
told his brother, another prisoner, why
had discharged him, but the brother did
not credit my statement. On that morn
ing after the brother had been discharged
and the other brother had been found
guilty, I was saying to the brother, pot
found guilty. in Itslian. Now, you see
whether my statements about your brother
are true or false" 1 said nothing to the
interpreter, but the chief of police at this
moment said to me: you want to keep
away from there or will put you in Jail. -
Whether he misinterpreted what l had
said, or whether he had been misinformed
l cannot say.
Yours respectfully,
DoNATo MEo.

ISSUE OF BONDS MADE.
This Was the Only Immediate Step That
Could Be Taken-On Sale Today-Wilson
Not Sue.

Not Sue.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1S.-Secretary Car
Isle issued a circular inviting proposals
for $50, 600, 900 per cent bonds redeemable
after 10 years, tho bonds to bear interest
at per cent per annum. Allotments of
bonds will be made to the highest bidders
therefor, but no proposal will be consid-
cred at lower price than $117, 223, which
is the equivalent of a per cent bond at
par. The bonds will be in denominations
of $50 and upward.
Secretary Carlisle was forced to this is
sue by the apparent improbability of Sc
curing Immediately any action by congress
authorizing a shorter term and lower rate
of interest.
The statement of Senator Voorhees,, the
chairman of the finance committee, was
the potent factor in inducing Secretary
Carlisle to take the action he did. 1t seemed
to be a matter of regret among treasury
officials that some other step could not be
taken by which shorter term obligations
could have been issued, but the 10 year
bonds are the shortest he can issue under
the act of 1875. Anticipatory of this action
by the secretary preparations have been
made by the bureau of engraving and
printing to prepare the bonds. There will
be no delay in turning out the blanks as
fast as may be necessary.
Fifteen offers, aggregating in value $40,-
900, 900. have been awaiting the secretary's
pleasure. One of these was for S25, OO0, 0O0
Owing to the late hour at which the
bonds were printed, it was impossible for
sufficient number to be run off to send
them to the various subtreasuries through
out the country. They will be sent out to-
day. so that they may be posted and fur
nished to persons interested

Editor Daily Leader.
The Republican party OF this county
must go before the people self-branded
as opposed TO honesty in Office, and IN
favor of corruption in office.
The attempt of the Capital to JUSTIFY
the action of the convention in voting
down the Speed resolutions. will not
deceive anyone The truth of the
matter is, the plundering element OF
the party is in control aol honest
men of the party submit to their die
tum. Any man, of any party who
would not vote for tho resolutions as
presented by Mr.. Speed, is an enemy
to honesty bnd good government lie
brands himself as such. He goes be-
fore the people as such. He unblush-
ingly asks you to vote for him with
the emphatic understanding that he
shall use his Office for the money he
can make out of Il. The assertion OF
Greer that the resolutions were covered
in Others while war was made on the
there offered by Mr.. Speed is albold'
reckless effort to Justify the infamous
net, in that rejection.
The people demanded honesty OF
their servants. Every vote cast foI
the nominees of convention who
boldly vote for corruption in office
hands in his approval of corruption
and dishonesty in office. As the mat
ter stands, the Republicans must &c
before the people as "A party Of apol'
ogy. The toiling hard working, tax
oppressed people cannot afford to vote
for the nominees of such a convention.
