Washington, Sept. Secretary Carlisle
is expected on Monday to render de-
cision on the claims for sugar bounties
unpaid prior to August q, 1894. when the
new tariff bill became law. The amount
involved is about $4,000. The secretary
will hold that under the law he is not
only unauthorized to make these pay
meilts but is specifically instructed by
the new tariff act not to pay thru. The
had no right and did not intend to prohibit
the payment of bounties on sugar pro-
duced while the act of 1890 was in force,
and that the licerses issued under the act
with them the obligation of the govern
ment to pay the bounties provided for.

IT is positively astonishing the ex-
tent to which mining developments are
going on all around us. The last inter
esting gold proposition lie about twenty
twp miles north of Indio. Its owner is
exhibiting solid gold brick in Los An
geles as the result OF three days run
OF two-stsmp mill. and he claims that
there are million dollars in sight. Just
such stories of gold discoveries are heard
all the way from Yuma to the Needles,
from Needles to Vanderbilt and from
Vanderbilt to st. George county, Utah.
and beyond that point to Maops. We
may be assured that, from day to day.
the same narratives of glad tidings will
be reported. This section is but in the
initial of its treasure devslo pment. The
completion of the Nsvsd Southern rail-
way to Msopa. and ultimately to Salt
Lske City, will lead to miraculous devsl-
opments in the territory tributary to
Los Angeles.

and he fred upon the men, killing one
instantly. The second robber returned

ously wounding lady passenger and
slightly wounding man.
The horses became uDmsnageable and
ran some distance before they could be
stopped, leaving the dead robber and
his comrade by the wsyside.
As soon ss the stage reached Milton
officers were sent back to the scene of
the killing. Miss Ella Bunny. q young
lady who resides in this city, was a pas

ment-
There wero two robbers, both masked.
They did not succeed in stopping the
stage, as the horses were going at rapid
gait when the command to halt was
given. A robber stood on each side of
the road and the messenger, Hendricks,
dropped one of them, letting him have
both barrels of his shotgun, loaded
with buekshot. At the same time Hend-

Dscker's wife and Child Appear in
the Flesh and He Ia Released.
YREKA. CAL, May 19.-The cloud
which has hung over George Decker, the
Yreka rancher, for two weeks, was
cleared up today by the arrival OF his
wife and daughter, whom he was
accused OF numbering years ago. The
case is a moot remarkable one. Twenty
seven years ago Decker's vile and young
daughter left Yreka, and shortly after
ward he obtained divorce. About two
weeks ago some boys found heap OF
bones in cave near Decker's place and
the citizens of the community Jumped
to the conclusion that they were.the re.
mains of Decker's wife and babe, who
had disappeared 81 years ago. Decker
could not prove that they were not
as all as the people who mad seen his
wife depart from Yreka were dead. He
was arrested and accused OF numbering
nearly every person in the vicinity OF
Yreka who had died suddenly or had
disappeared for q lumber of years. The
murders charged to his account by
credulous citizens amounted to 10, and
he was looked upon by his neighbors as
a monster OF iniQuity. They were barely
prevented from lynching him, after his
arrest. Decker claimed innocence and
his attorney set to work to find the
missing woman and child. He found
them living at Colusa, not 200 miles
away, totally ignorant OF Decker's peril.
They arrived at Yreka today and Decker
was discharged from custody. Both he
and his wife had married again and
raised families, and tonight family re-
union was held and Dscker's escape
from danger was celebrated.

INDIANAPOLIS, May 19.-In the CROSS
examination OF +. A. Coffin today in the
bank wrecking cases. the witness showed
an acuteness and ingenious evasion of
business that even attorneys for the
government admired. Notwithstanding
this, however. the government sue
ceeded in tearing down the theory of
the defense and there has been nothing
gained by it in placing the defendants
on the stand. Let ers were produced
which the witness was compelled to &C.
knowledge and which show that
Haughev, the president OF the bank,
had been offered and had accepted stock
in the London branch OF the cabinet
company, although it has been claimed
there was no connection of any kind
between the head of the bank and the
capital. 1t was shown that the defend
ants were informed of the visits OF the
bank examiner, and regulated their &C.
tions according This has been denied
all along by the defense. Coffin ex
planned the drafts of the branch con-
Germs by saying they were given to make
the bank a creditor of those concerns,
and give it lien on the goods sent out
from under its lien on the main COM
pany. In this he disregarded the fact
that the drafts had been all cashed by
the bank when presented.
This unique explanation created con-
siderable amusement.

FIAT MONEY.

Many people do not seem to under
stand what is meant by the term fiat
money. They appear to think there is
something pernicious about it; some
thing calculated to chea+and defraud
something unreal and Illusory; whereas
in fact it is nothing OF the sort. Fiat
money ia just as good as any money
under the sun. The United States ties,
commonly called gresnbacks, are fiat
money. for they depend on the promise,
or fat. of the government Tor thsir
value, and are the same as any obliga.
money is in a proper sense fat money,
for it all, whether gold, silver or paper,
depends for its value very largely upon
the atamp of the govern ment. Money
Ia always made by government author
ity. The term fiat, from the
Latin word flo, to make, simply
means made" and fat money.
as commonly understood, is money
made by the government, depending for
its value upon the good faith OF The gov
eminent. In the case of the green backs
they depend solely upon the faith OF the
United States. There is no deposit OF
bonds or other security to insure their
final redemption. But. then. the bonds
OF the government are upon precisely
the came basis there is nothing depos-
tied to insure their ultimate payment,
The faith OF the government alone ls be-
bind them. They are fiat in the strict
est eense oi the word, but they are uni
formly held to be pretty good, even COM
manding large premium. So the
greenbacks are held by everybody to be
the best sort Of monsy. though stigma
tized by interested money changers as
fat money. Ii there were plenty OF it
for the transaction of business money
would be easy and times good again.
There Is strange sort of AN idea
abroad that paper money, in order to be
OF value, must have in the treasury a
quantity Of gold or silver bullion
on cep)s to redeem it. There
is no serHe in thie notion. The
good name and wealth OF the nation
Itself is the sufficient guarantee, and no
better could be askeL. II Mr.. Hellman
puts out his personal note for a thousand
dollars, it is not expected that he will
at the same time lay to one side thou
sand dollars in gold to paw that note
His well known wealth makes his credit
good and his note is accepted without a
dollar put aside to redeem it. And SO

The Traders Bank of Tacoma Coos Into

TACOMA, Wash, May l9.-Just pre-
vious to the opening OF the superior

filed in the clerks Office by Trustees
George Browne and Henry Hewitt, ir.,
requesting the court to appoipta receiver

THE DIFFER RNCR.

Last year the farmers had very large
crops Of hay, which they sold for barely
enough to pay expenses. In some in
stances there was an actual loss. the
price received not being enough TO NEE
the cost The cost of hay m king aud
putting it on the market is at least So q
ton in this county. There is the rent
OF the land. blowing, buying seed, SOW
ing, narrowing in, rolling, moving, rak-
ing, punching. cooking, buckng, stack
ing, bsling, hauling, and storing in the
barn. then breaking bulk and hauling to
the market, paying the hay yard fee,
paying the man for hauling and selling,
boarding the man, and charging for the
use OF the team; all this, without count
ing anything for collecting the bills, and
your hay, Sc q ton. Now suppose
the crop is large, as was the case Last
year, and the hay is sold for seven dol
lars ton. You have cleared only one
dollar on that ton OF hay, and it will
take eight tons to bring in the profit OF
eight dollars. We will now suppose that
hay lie scarce, as is the case this year,
and that it brings fourteen dollars a
ton; the profit on one ton will be eight
dollars, or the equivalent OF the profit
ON eight tons last year. 1t would ap-
pear from this that, 80 far as hay is con-
cerned, the farmers are exceedingly for
tunate in having poor crop. The peo-
pie who suffer from short crop are
those who have to buy hay, and not
those who produce it. The good year
for the farmers is the year of short crops I;
then only do they get more for their
produce than the cost of raising. 1t ia
estimated that the hay crop this year will
be less than half that of last year; in
deed, in many localities. where the
yield was good year ago, it is not now
worth cutting. The volunteer is all
extremely thin and the Gown fields are
lighter than has been known for many
years. We do not suppose there ia
much danger of stock dying OF starvs-
ton, but it is clear that hay will, before
the next crop comes in, have to be
brought here from other parts OF the
country to supply our market.
