The Republican members of the
United States Senate held caucus last
Friday. 1t was hoped, If not expected,
by President Cleveland that the caucus
would formulate some financial measure
which would afford relief from the pres
ent treasury embarrassment Nothing
of that kind was done. The caucus was
in the nature of free, off hand confer
ence on the business of the session as
now pending.
1t would be unwise for the Repub-
licans to thrust themselves into respon-
sibility for matters specifically intrusted
to the Democracy. The legislation
which brought about the present en-
barrassment was enacted over the
heads of the Republicans in both the
House and the Senate. Not a Repub-
lican in either branch that did not by
his vote, if not in set phrases, protest
against that legislation and warned of
danger from it. 1t would be unstates-
manlike to indulge in the taunt, told
you So" and unpatriotic to stand in the
way of any measure of relief which had
in it the real hope of betterment; but
there is certainly no occasion for inter
meddliDg. Senator Sherman did well
to explain TO President Cleveland his
views on finance, but unless the admin
istration should adopt those views and
make them its own it would be useless
for any attempt to be made in this Con
gress 20 pass bill embodying them.
1t will be necessary for the Republi-
cans to watch very closely the closing
days of the session lest the Democrats
should tack OH to some appropriation
clause undermining the stability of our
monetary system. The Carlisle bill is
evidence of disposition to purchase
temporary relief at almost any expense.
In the next Congress the Republicans
will be in "a position to mature and pass
measures which would afford relief not
only to the government but the coun-
try, leaving their final enactment to be
determined by the President, unless, as
is not likely, the same could be passed
over his veto That will be time for
Republicans to go to the front in the
initiation of financial policy.

Announcement.

We take pleasure in making the an
nouncement that the TRUE NORTH
ERNER and the Yam Buren, County Re-
publican will be consolidated after the
issues of the present week, and that the
subscribers to both papers will here
after be supplied with the TRUE
NORTHERNER. For nearly year past,
there have been two Republican papers
published in this place; both have had
extensive capital, influential friends and
good business backing. But, despite
all effort, the years experience has
proven conclusively that there is not
room in this field for two Republican
papers; neither has been an entirely
satisfactory business investment, and
the consolidation of interests and bust
ness will be of advantage to all con-
cerned, to the welfare of the commu-
nifty, and to the benefit of the Republi-
can party.
Judge A j. Mills has withdrawn
from the supervision of the editorial
sumes control, both as editor and bust.
ness manager The latter does not eX-
pect to fully supply the place SO ably
filled by Judge Mills, but promises to
give to the TRUE NoRJ HERNER his best
efforts. This paper has no enmity to-
wards any one, no old scores to pay off,
no club for anybody, politically or 9TH
erwse; but we will be found at all
times laboring for the best interests of
Paw Paw and of Van Buren, county,
and active i'm all enterprises that prom
Use material advancement; on the side
of law and morality will our influence
ever be exerted; in the cause of the
grand old Republican party the good
work done in the past by both the
NoRTHERNER and the Republican will
be continued and, we trust, made more
potent by united effort than by separate
action.
To advertisers we have this to say:
The NORTHERNER will have double the
circulation of any other Van Buren,
county paper. Nowhere else can you
reach SO great n number of readers for
so little money. "a word to the wise
is sufficient"
While Messrs Osborn, Mills a. Master
of kalamazoo still hold portion of the
stock of the True Northerner Publish.
ing Company, they do not hold a con-
trolling interest and this paper is under
a distinctive Paw Paw management.
Our people have no cause to fear the
investment of foreign capital among
us. More of it would be welcome.
What Paw Paw needs is more capital,
and our business men should welcome
1t from any direction, SO long as it is
invested in legitimate business enter
prises.
We desire to thank all old patrons of
both papers for their friendly and
staunch support, and ask continuance,
should the NoRTHERNER merit it, We
wish to make no promises at this time
that we may not be able to fulfill. The
NORTHERNER will speak for itself in
the future, and can have no claim to
patronage except that TO which its
merit entities it.

The Debt Maker.

New York Sun: Under the pretense
of maintaining the gold reserve" Mr..
Cleveland's administration has illegally
borrowed about S116, OOO, 900 up to the
present time. A large part of it has
gone, or is going, to pay the current
expenses of the government.
Another illegal issue of bonds is i'm
minent, the pretext being that the gold
reserve has gone down again about to
the point to which it had sunk just be-
fore the first illegal loan, in November
last. The practice of the administra-
ton has been to issue bonds for $780,
600, 900 at time, and according to the
the yield of the previous bond sales the
third illegal issue of $50, ZOO, 900 would
bring the total up to about Sl74, 900, 600,
borrowed mainly to pay the current ex
penses of the government.
Bills are pending in Congress to en-
able the secretary of the treasury le-
gally to borrow more money to pay
current expenses up to $500, 600, 900 at
the discretion of Mr.. Cleveland and his
financial advisers
The entire interest bearing debt of
the United States in 1892. when Mr.
Cleveland's administration came in,
was 1856, 900, 900. Since 1879, when it
was 81, 797, 100000 it had been steadily
decreased, year after year, without a
single break in the way of temporary
increase. Between 1879 and 1892 two
thirds of the interest. bearing obliga-
tons of the United States had been re.
deemed and cancelled.
In one year Mr.. Clevelands admins
tration has already increased the inter
est-bearing public debt by 800 OOO, 900,
or more than II per cent; and it wants
y authority from Congress to increase the
debt by $500, 900, 600 more, which would
more than double the public debt as
the Cleveland administration found il.
In time of peace, with no extraordi-
nary demands pressing upon the treas
ury, this self-proclaimed reformer of
the national finances, elected TO office
to give the country tariff for revenue,
revenue from tariff, has given the
country instead of that an additional
burden of debt, and promise of debt,
mounting in the aggregate to the fig
ures of the great wars cost.
