Mr.. CarIisle's Labors.

A Greek legend tells of Sisyphus,
king of Corlnth. He was famous for
his cunning; finally he was killed. In
the Internal regions his miserable &C.
cupatlon was TO roll up steep hill
heavy stone which imm ediately rolled
back upon him every time he neared
the top, thus keeping him eternally hard
at work at bootless task.
The duty assigned by Pluto to this
mythical king is very much in the
nature of the occupation which has
vexed Secretary Carlisle these many
months. By every resort, by hook or
crook, by dInt of worry and downright
hard work, the secretary has managed
to roll up his reserve to its hundred
million total, but as soon as he gets to
the top, down it tumbles ag lin, COM
polling him, when it is midway toward
the bottom, TO start again his thank
less occupation.
Like the work of the old Greek, Mr.
Carlisle's labor is largely useless be-
cause it is instructed. 1t is all right,
of course, to keep up the reserve
although there wasn't any particular
damage when nearly half of it disap-
peared; but the point is that the re-
serve itself would be all right anyhow
If the treasury department would adj
dress itself to broad er work and re
move the evils which, as an incident,
involve the reserve Mr.. Carlisle is
wearing himself out in nursing a
symptom; he ought to doctor the
disease. AS Mr.. Teller said in his
senate speech the other day, when he
was dealing with the trouble concern
ing the reserve: at is one of the
incidents to the distress and caused
by the distress, but it is not the cause
of the distress; it is the effect of the
distress in part"

bill as much as Silver Bow Corrup-
ton of voters, he said, had been prac-
ticed there on large scale, and unless
the Imprisonment clause were added
it would be mere sport for the men
who influenced thousands of voters to
pay paltry fine of $500 Mr.. Mon
leath's retort was that as Mr. Bennett
had formerly had the employment and
control of large numbers of men in
Silver Bow county, he was probably
fam with the means employed to
coerce voters
This mornings news is that an
amendment along the line proposed by
Mr.. Bennett prevailed in the house.
During the debate, Mr.. Monteath
called attention to the fact that GER
tain members are evidently engaged
in the business of loading the bill with
amendments which manifestly are de-
signed to kill 1T in the legislature or
make it practically imperative if it
becomes law.

PERRY, o. T., Jan. GA sensation has

whipping IN church, participated IN by

johnson, and the former continued with
the church in the capacity of deacon.
A few Sundays ago, the deacons were
severely criticised by the new pastor.
Tully felt the sting and declared that he
would get even. He wrote to the old home
of DIR. johnson and received information
that reflected on the minister and especi-
ally on his wife.
At the close of the sermon, on Sunday,
Tully read the letter and great commo-
ton followed. Mrs. johnson slipped from
the church and soon returned with q
buggy whip in her hand. Rushing at
fully, she gave him a severe flashing and,
when she had finished. he was badly
beaten up. In the general row that fol-
lowed, Tully's wife secured the whip and
began to apply it to Mrs. johnson. When
she was finally called off Mrs. Johnson
was unconscious. The two women and
several OF the men were arrested.

In the Two Houses.

Just about the time when the day
for final adjournment arrives, congress
will probably find itself prepared to
currency question. That will be too
late, as far as democratic m Ijorities
are concerned. The presidents gold
bond message acted as a tonic yester-
day; several members in both houses
were busy with the mass of financial
measures that have been submitted
These are measures which it is simply
impossible to reconcile through any
compromise measure, if account is to
be taken OF all of them.

currency and banking are far apart

California Offers "a Vigorous Protest

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 29.-Two resolu-
tions were before the senate to-day, each
condemning the Reilly funding bill. A
concurrent resolution passed by the house
was replaced by another also protesting
against the Reilly funding bill, but favor
ing the government ownership of rail-
roads. The latter was adopted by vote
of % to 10, the minority explaining that
their negative votes were only recorded
because they favored the resolution pre-
viously adopted by the assembly. Then
a resolution was introduced and adopted
by unanimous vote declaring against the
Reilly funding bill or any other funding
bill.

this wonderful piece of mechanism is 8

FINANCE AND TRADE.


The Success Of the Latest Bond Issue Gives
Increased Confidence.
NEW YORK, Feb. 23.--B. G., Dun & Co.'S
weekly review of trade says The sur
prising success of the new loan and the
great confidence it has given to investors
on both sides of the water and TO business
men here encourage many to hope that it
may be the beginning of n real recovery.
In twenty-five minutes here subscriptions
are supposed to have been at least five
times the amount of bonds offered, and in
two hours at London they were twenty
times the amount there offered
Considering the power which control Of
these bonds gives to regulate foreign ex-
changes and to prevent exports of gold,
the transaction has indeed greatly changed
the financial situation, in spite of the fact
that the government revenues are still de-
fcient and that domestic trade shows
scarcely any gain as yet The industries
are not enlargiug production, nor have
prices OF farm products improved. But a
very important source of apprehension
and hindrance, for Uhe time at least, has
been removed
Failures for the past week have been 302
in the United States, against 2SS for the
same week last year, and 80 in Canada,
against 81 last year.

Six Lives Lost and Four Blocks of Build
ings Destroyed.
Hot SPRINGS, Ark, Feb 23.-Six per
sons are known to have perished in fire
which started in this city at o'clock in the
morning. Four large blocks of buildings
were soon laid in ruins, and it is feared
the number of dead will be much greater,
as many people who lived in the destroyed
buildings are missing
People who roomed in the doomed struc-
ture were caught almost without warning,
and nearly all who escaped did so in their
night clothes, being unable to save any of
their effects
The dead are: Mrs. Clara Sammons,
boarding house keeper Hot Springs;D w.
Wing, Glenn's Fails n. Y. Mrs. Maggie
Hiscock, boarding house keeper, and three
others, names unknown.
The fire originated in a bakery on Ouch
ita avenue over which were furnished
rooms. Here Mrs. Sammons, who kept
the rooms, was burned. The fire was at
the south end of the gulch in which Hot
Springs is located, and the wind was from
the north. As "a result none of the large
hotels were at any time in danger. The
fire burned both sides of Ouchita avenue
to Hawthorne, one side of Hawthorne to
Woodbine, and both sides of Orange to
OuaDaW street.
