AGAIN Depicting THE RESERVE

HTHih DfFBFIfNb IHE hFSrRlE.
A few days ago it was stated that
officials of the treasury were expecting
an early movement of gold toward this
country and expressed confidence that
The reserve would be maintained. A
considerable depletion of the treasury
gold Immediately following this state
ment is well calculat ted to arrest atten-
ton and to suggest the question whether
the bond syndicate, whose agreement
TO protect the treasury against Il drain
of gold still has some six weeks TO run,
is fulfilling the contract and will be able
to continue to do so until the date of its
expiration. 1t is generally conceded
that up to this time the syndicate has
done all that it proposed to do. 1t
agreed to control the market against
spectators and shippers for profit and
thus far it has accomplished this, but
will it he able to hold control until Oc-
tober 1, before which time, If ordinary
conditions obtain, the gold movement
ought to be toward the United States?
There can be no question rs to the inn
pOrtance of this, for the indications are
that the ability of the syndicate to pro-
tect the treasury reserve will be strongly
tested, and if it should be found unable
to continue carrying out its agreement
the consequences might be serious, not
nj ne 10 the treasury, but to the financial
interests of the country.
The treasury has lost about $4,000. 900
of gold within Il month. or since it re-
ceived the final payment on account of
the last sale of bonds. Another demand
like that of Monday would reduce the
reserve below the Sl00,000,000 mark
The recent Withdrawals are said to have
been largely or wholly by importers
who having legitimate balances to settle
abroad have found that they can ship
gold at less cost than they can buy ex-
change at the rates fixed by the, bond
syndicate. II the demand could be cor
| fined 10 this source there would De no
serious danger. but there is reason to
apprehend that 1t will not be. Indeed
il il NOT To be doubted that a part of the
late shipments has been on speculative
account. 1t is said that this is the view
of conservative bankers abroad who
think the object Is to affect the price of
stocks. A combination for this purpose
Is by no means impossible and in the
event of exports falling much below
what they are expected to be during the

forecasts number OF heavy failures

that the corn crop of Douglas county

predicted. but they stubbornly decline to

fact that Omaha was hardest hit of any

that no heavy failures have occurred

Too Much of IL Joke.

/ was heavy joke that was played re-
Gently on a free silver man in Secretary
Morton's Agricultural department Upon his
return a few days since from his summer
vacation he received his entire accumulation
of salary in silver dollars. the gross weight Of
which was about twelve pounds. He took it
good naturedy at first, but by the time he
had lugged the stuff around to half the banks
in the city in the vain endeavor to exchange
it for bills or something lighter, he came to
the conclusion that 1t was carrying the joke
too far, and became dsgusted with silver.

supplies of whisky and alcohol in Eu-

ing claims for aaribate, under pretcnse
that the liquor had been converted into
medicinal compounds or sold to photog-
raphers and artists. The rebate clause
on imported alcohol was evidently snug

Too Hot for the season.

Mr.. Watterson's observations about third
term for President Cleveland are vigorous
and full of shrewdness, If not in the highest
degree complimentary. He maintains that
the president cannot be renominated, that If
he were nominated he would not carry a
single congressional district in the United
States, and that the man Is "a fool or
craven tool" who thinks that Mr.. Cleveland
will be considered one Of the greatest states
men of the country. But why this heat?

THE SUGAR BOUNTY CASE.

1t appears probable that the sugar
bounty claimants will have to appeal to
the courts. 1t is not expected that de-
cision will be given by Comptroller
Bowler before the return of Secretary
Carlisle to Washington and the belief
is that the decision will be adverse to
paying the bounty. with the approval of
the secretary. of the treasury. II is sug-
gested that Mr.. Carlisle may take this
position in order to keep the money.
over S5,OOO,000, in the treasury. Wash
ington dispatches say there is belief
quite general that though Mr.. Bowler
probably did not consult with Mr.. Car
Isle the secretary will be glad to have
the bounty held up, so that the treasury
deficit may be reduced by that amount.
If there is any such motive as this it
cannot be too strongly condemned and
it is not easy to believe that the srcre-
tary of the treasury would be n party
to such an eXpcdicnt. in view of the
great injury to numerous individuals in
volved in Withholding the bounty. In
case the matter is carried into the courts
the litigation will probably extend over
one or two years and in the meantime
some of the parties to it must suffer
great financial hardship. Whatever the
result of the hearing, it seems certain
that one of the first subjects brought
before congress will be bill to more
strictly define the powers of the comp
trolier of the treasury. The unprcce
dented proceeding of Mr.. Bowler. in ar
rogating to himself authority superior to
congress ana the executive, makes an
imperative demand for such legislation.

Free Coinage Democrats to Hold ~
..Mnnctnry" Conference.

WASHINGTON, Aug. Ex-senator Harris
of Tennessee is the only member of the com
mittee which signed the call for a conference
of democrats on the silver question to take
place in Washington tomorrow who has ar
rived here. Senators Jones of Arkansas and
Turpe of Indiana are the other two members
of the committee and both are expected be
fore the opening of the conference. The meet
ing will be held in the parlors OF the Metro
poltan hotel and will continue one or two
days, its duration depending upon the will Of
those present II is not intended that the
meeting shall be mass convention. but
merely a meeting Of representative demo-

three from each state in favor of the free in
age Of silver by the United States independ
ent of other nations and who believe that the
success Of the party in the future is depend
ent upon its assuming an aggressive policy
on this line.
The call for the Washington conference
grew out of meeting in Memphis in which
only democrats participated. The meeting
here will have two principal purposes. The
first of these will be to devise plan to hold
all silver democrats in the democratic party
and the second to insure, if possible de-
claration for free coinage at the next demo
cratic convention To accomplish this latter
purpose 1t is that an organization will be
perfected in every state represented in the
conference whose principal purpose shall be
that of securing delegates to the convention
pledged to a silver platform and to candi-
date of corresponding views. 1t is expected
that men will be selected to take charge of
this work IN each of the states.
Senator Harris thinks about thirty states
will be represented at the conference.
Representative Cox Of Tennessee is the only
delegate to the conference who has arrived at
the Metropolitan. THE object of the confer
ence," he said, "is to perfect an organization
inside the democratic party. We have
sympathy with movements looking to inde-
pendent action"
At the hotel 1t is estimated that the attend
ance will not exceed 100 and there is so far
no evidence that It will reach that number

sas will be temporary presiding officer.
