CARLISLE ON THE CURRENCY.
His Speech Before the Massachusetts Re-
form Club Last Night.

BOSTON, Mass, Oct. 12 The meeting
OF the Massachusetts Reform Club at the
Vendome to night was tremendous
ovation to Secretary Carlisle and his
speech on she finances of the Govern
ment under the present administration
was listened to with the greatest inter
est. Following il 9 short synopsis of
his address:
He paid compliment to Boston,s
conservatism, alluded to the danger
that the silver agitation had been to
the fnanciers Of the country; but said
THAT danger was now about over and sill
yer, however, WAS not the only part of
the currency that embarrassed the gov
eminent.
The issue OF Treasury notes in 1876,
was mistake, but did not trouble tho
government much till the resumption
OF sp :cie payment in 1879 required tho
government to pay its obligations in
gold. Since then the REDEEM ption and
reiasuing of Treasury notes had seri-
ously hampered the Treasury, requiring
a reserve fund to meet the demand.
The government ought not to be re-
qnired to do this or If required the
notes ought to be cancelled when re-
deemed.
The secretary recomme nds legislation
on this line and gives figures TO show
how by funding these notes in 1879, the
date OF redemption, the government
might have saved 500, 639, 400, a debt
which it has been compelled to incur in
order to keep this form of currency OUT
standing, and maintain it's value. In
conclusion he sayh:
There is more than one way in
which an adequate and safe currency
can be secured for the use of the people
without perverting the powers of the
government or subjecting its credit to
the vicissitudes of either legitims tie
trade or reckless speculation, and 1
most sincerely hope the subject will re.
ceive the careful consideration of all
who feel an interest in the adoption OF q
sound policy, and that plan may be
formulated that will meet the approval
Of Congress.
I'm the meantime, the government
Will continue to redeem Its obligations
promptly on presentation, according to
the requirements OF the existing laws
and public policy. Those who want gold
will get 1t, and those who want silver
will get it. The parity of the two me tails
will be maintained and the whole vol
ume Of our currency, paper and coin
alike, will be kept equal TO the highest
standard recognized by the commercial
nations OF the world"
Collector Warren. Er. Charles Jack
son and Hon. John e. Russell also spoke.

NEW YORK, Oct. ia special to the
New York World from Washington says
The excited dispatches of yesterday
from Madrid are explained by facts re-
vealed here to-day. What this Govern.
mont has done has been to formally
notify the Spanish government that the
action recently taken by it in Havana
is in violation Of the treaty rights of
this country, and that for any damage
to American citizens or American dig
nifty arising therefrom Spain will be
held responsible.
The circum stances are as follows:
Since Consul General Williams COM
PEELED Captain General Calleja, while
governor general of Cuba, to recognize
The treaty of 1877 in the case of Julio
Sanguily, and by 80 doing prevented
the trial of the latter by military
court in Havana last February, the
Spanish government has been FESTIVE
diplomatic authority.
Senior Canovas, the Spanish prime
minister, decided to deprive Mr.. Will
liams Of all diplomatic authority and
confine him strictly to the purely com
merclal or consular privileges OF his
office. Accordingly the Spanish minis
ter OF the colonies instructed General
Campos to inform Mr.. Williama that
henceforth he would not be recognized
as possessing any authority to transact
business with the governor general
of Cuba upon other than commercial
matters.
General Campos sent for Mr. Williams
recently and communicated to him the
instructions from Spain. Secretary
Olney straiRhtway prepared g state
with the conclusion OF the Spanish min
lister. The action Of the latter was
based on tho consular treaty existing
between Spain and the United States
From this treaty, signed in 1899, con-
sfuiar officers did not receive authority
TO cover any diplomatic questions. The
treaty with Spain, however. specified
that United States consular ofiic srs shall
have all the rights and privileges Of

Secretary Olney informs Senior Cano-
vas that the United States demands
that his government concede the same
privileges to the United States consul
general that are given to the consul
general OF Germany. The language of
Secretary Olney's despatch is said to be-
peremptoIy.
dispatch was sent from the Office of
the World TO It's staff correspondent in
Cuba directing him to- call on Consul-
General Williams and obtain g state-
ment from him on the above subject.
The following reply was received:
matter WAS submitted to Mr.. Will
liams. He declined to discuss the sub
jet on the ground that it was state
secret and that he was not at liberty to
speak about it. He admitted that Gen
eral Campos had informed him he would
not henceforth be recognized by the
government of the island in any other
than purely commercial and consular
matters

The Reilly funding bill, which
passed the United States Senate,
was badly defeated in the House.
This ia a declaration on the part OF
the House that the railroads must
paw their debts to the government
the same as private individuals are
required to do. We believe the
debt to the government falls due
in April, and if it is not paid the
government will probably take the
road. The roads involved are the
Union Pacific, Central Pacific, the
California Pacific, all under the
control of the Southern Pacific OF
Kentucky. These roads have
ground the people more mercilessly
than any of the other roads in e:s ex-
;stence in the United States. The
action of the Ho use in refusing to
refund their Indebtedness is COM
mendable.

PRESS or write to Vernon d. Spragg,
the pioneer real estate men of Mesa
City. We have known those two
fellows for a long time-not quite
three years. and wo know that yon
can depend implicitly on what they
tell you. They are net here to
bamboozle people, but to give the
straight, honest truth to the en-
quirers, and when you buy ten,

Will A. Burton and he will hnild

you the finest kind of cabinet work
in the very best manner, and he
won't administer on your estate to
begin with. either.
But say, this is getting mon
otonous, let US shut 'er off till next
week. Well notice those who
don't advertise with us. They are
all good people, too, and if we have
room we will finish this talk in our
next issue, We will not slight any
ono, because we want the outside
world to know just what business
we have here, as nothing helps a
town so much as TO let outside
people know what business it sup

MESA as TT rs.

What IL was Two years ago-oAI-
ferent because it has grown very
materially. 1t might have been
larger and more presentable had
not the financial depression over
whelmed the country, but it has
made very satisfactory growth
Notwithstanding that universal de-
preston. The object of this article
is to mention succinctly ell the
business conducted in the town.
In the references which we shall
make we wish to state that many
of the business houses of the town
do not advertise in our columns,
for reasons of their own, possibly
because they do not believe in ad-
vertising, and we do not mention
them for the purpose of giving
them q free advertisement, but we
want the outside world to know
the size of onr town, the business
conducted in it, and the progress
sive, enterprising character of our
business men.
Among our first advertisers when
the FREE PRESS was inveigled into
commencing its existence. here. was
the Zenos Coop. Mercantile and
Manufacturing Institution. It has
a large brick block of it's own, car
ries a finely selected stock, and q
large one, too, of groceries, cloth
ing, furnishing goods, boots, shoes,
etc. It is now under the manage
ment of w. J.. LIE Baron, pro-
gressive, enterprising gentleman
and continues, under his manage
ment, as IN the past, to pay good
dividends to the stockholders, aid
sells goods as cheap as the cheapest
to its patrons, too.
B. f. johnson, Sons q Co. is
another one of our old friends, and
helped US begin to breathe in fair
Mesa City. This firm is one of the
representative ones of this place,
carries a large stock of general
merchandise, including groceries,
and sells its goods at the very
lowest living notch. At its coun-
ters you always receive courteous,
honest treatment and the very
best Of bargains. The firm owns
its brick storeroom, and is just now
building another fine one story
brick block with two commodious
rooms, one of which it will occupy.
We suppose we ought not to
mention the Arizona Hardware
Co. because it is going to leave US,
that is the Mesa City branch is.
Nevertheless it is one OF our first
friends and has stayed with us
through thick and thin, and wher-
ever it may be it is reliable and
accommodating and always ready
to give the people bargains. Its
proprietor, manager and employees
are pleasant genial people and
would be universally respected
everywhere.
J,s.H. Barnett don't need any
mention, but we'll mention him
anyhow. John got married not
long since, but he continues to
carry full line of drugs of all
kinds, together with all the other
ct ceteras of a fully equipped drug
store. John has probably increased
his stock of goods since he got
married, at least you can get any
thing you want in the line of drugs,
paints, oils, confectionery, station
cry, etc.
DIR. Baily has been with US about
Mesa free press., 1895-02-15

two years and he has built up a
good trade because he is genial and
accommodating and keeps a full
line OF drugs, patent medicines,
perfumery and everything else in a
well appointed drug store.
The Central Market is familiar
name to readers of this paper, and
Ed. Gray, it's proprietor, not only
knows good fat beef steer when
he sees it, but he knows how to be
genial and accommodating to every
body. If you eat Eds steaks your
digestion will never get out of
order.
VIM. Passey's name is familiar
one, too, in the columns of the
PRESS. Everybody here knows
him and knows, too, that he is
conscientious enough to do just
what he says he'll do. He under
stands the undertaking business
thoroughly and is ready to answer
promptly all calls that may be
made upon him in that line, and if
you want your furniture repaired
take it to him and he will do it
well and at lowest living prices
Phil Nets = well, everybody
knows Phil. He never undertakes
to do anything he don't do in first :
class shape, except it is to get
married, and we don't believe he
ever tried that. Our opinion is he
would now have numerous
family if he hadn't been so back
ward about these things. Never
theless Phil does like horses and
nice buggies, and his stables are
always supplied with the best.
While we think of it, Will s.
johnson has over sixty thousand
of the finest home grown trees we
have ever seen. He is selling down
now and thousands of them ars
going out of his yards right along.
His name is an old timer in our
columns, too. and if you want
trees, shrubbery, plants, or fine
rose bushes, we'll recommend him
and his stock. His is the home
nursery and it is always safe and
christian-like to patronize home
industries.
While talking about people and
things we will just refer in a. kind
of passing way to the Mesa Res
taurant. Everybody in this town
knows Mrs. Ellsworth. When in
business her name always appears
in the columns of the FREE PRESS.
If you want a good, homelike meal
cooked mp like your mother used
to, call at the Mesa Restaurant.
Mrs. Ellsworth knows how to give
you something good to eat and she
also knows how to give you a
kindly greeting and a good word :.
Of course, while on this subject
we may be pardoned for saying
that one thing leads to another.
Lend us your ears and we will say
q word or two about the Kimball
House. It's name is an old friend
to all the readers of the FREE
PRESS. We are not going to whoop
Will Kimball up very much, for
he don't need it. His handsome
better half has more to say around
that elegant caravansary than he
does. Nevertheless that hotel is
one of the neatest and most ele-
gantly furnished in the territory
and whether q man or woman is
alone or whether they individually
come in sfamilies they all find
elegant accommodation, finely fur
nished rooms and table always

there is no law against prize fighting

the governor makes his move when

Scribner. Neb., Sep. 19.-Scribner is
still excited over the tragic death of
Dr. and Mrs. Fred Hartman. Februa-
ry II, 1894, Hartman's wife was fatally
burned by an overturned lamp. The
Mrs. Hartman concerned in the TRACE
dy was the wife Of Chris Liestikow
for the past twenty-Seven years, until
about one year ago when she became
divorced ad soon after married Hart
man. Their family affairs were far
from pleasant. Their money matters
were in an unsatisfactory state. The
Incorporate talk Of a few people in the
community to Mr.. Hartman about the
intimacy Of his wife with several men
in town had been working with terri
bic effect on Hartman and were the
real causes of the suicide and murder.
A month ago Mrs. Hartman left her
home. Sunday Mr.. and Mrs. Hartman
met and made up. This was the last
seen of Mrs. Hartman alive. Hartman
was seen the last time Monday morn
ing. On Tuesday evening, attracted
by the unplea SAINT oder, the city mar
shall went to Hartmans residence and
was convinced without entering that
decompoSing bodies lay within. The
coroner found that Hartman had chok-
ed his wife and committed suicide.
Mrs. Hartman lay in an easy position
on neatly spread bed and with nearly
all Of her clothing removed and care
fully laid aside. Everything in the
house was in perfect order. The gen.
eral belief is that on arriving home ear
ly Monday morning some differences
arose between them and he seized her
by the throat and deliberately held
her until life was gone Several short
letters were written by Hartman and
left on a stand near by. They contain
ed nothing more than mention of the
language before mentioned

When General Howard had finished
and the applause had ceased, there was
music by the band, and then General
Joseph Wheeler of Alabama spoke.
General Wheeler's address was very
concise history Of the war. and in con-
clusion he gave statistics comparing the
principle battles of the civil war with
those OF European nations. showing the
number OF men engaged and the pro-
portion Of them who were killed and
wounded.
General Willard Warner of Chatta-
nooga was the next who addressed the
gathering. General Warner said IN
part:
Nearly a generation has passed
since We fought our last fight. Our bat
ties have since been fought over and
over again until they have doubtless
become wearisome TO the public. Our
part in the great drama OF war has
been acted. the curtain fell on us
thirty years ago and we passed the
judgment of the world and history. 1t
is now about time that We ceased talk
ing of the bloody chasm and should
take peace and reconciliation for grant
ed"
In conclusion General Warner spoke
hopefully of the future He predicted
shorter hours OF labor, greater wages
and happiness everywhere.
When General Warner had finished,
the Rev. Father Sherman was introduc-
ed He said that he felt that he had
some claim upon the old soldiers. owing
to the close connection they had with
his father. He then paid a glowing
tribute 10 fine men who had fought
wit his father from Atlanta to the

Colonel Fred Grant. who was expect
ed to follow Father Sherman, was not
able to be present.

The fractured bone was set and the leg
was put in a plaster cast. 1t is not con-
sidered serious although he will be laid
