WAsHINoToN, Feb.19-S Secretary
Carlisle today sent a reply TO a SEN
ate resolution inquiring whether
ut is necessary or desirable that
Legislation should be had author
izinglthe issuing Of bonds, treas
ury notes, or other securities for
monies for tie purpose Of paying
current deficiencies in the reve-
nue.. The %secretary's communi-
cation is as follows:
The cash balance in the treas
ury at the close Of business on the
18th inst, exclusive of sos, 1O1, 7O4
gold reserve was s99,875,294 It is
my opinion the secretary OF the
treasury ought to be permanently
invested with authority to issue
and sell short time bonds or other
obligations of the government for
the purpose of raising money to
meet such deficiencies in the ordi-
nary revenue'as may occur from
time to time for the ~exercize
Of such authority, fit existed. It
is not probable such deficiencies
will occur during the remainder
OF the current fiscal year as will
exceed the available balance on
hand and it is estimated during
the next fiscal year receipts will
exceed expenditures"
Many senators who have given
their assent to the amendment
have stated from the beginning
they would agree to the PROPOSE
ton only upon the direct request
of the secretary for such act. This
has beenIespecially true of the sill
yer senators. Senator Teller has
been one of the most conservative
silver men on this proposition, yet
he is understood to have voted
against it in Che committee be-
cause there had been no declara-
ton from the treasury department
that certificates were needed. 1t is
understood the amendment was
put forward with the idea that it
was liable to be ruled out on a
point of order in the senate and il
it passed hat body would fail III
the house.

From the following associated
press dispatch will be gained the
information that all hope Of free
coinage at this session Of congress
is gone:
Washington, Feb. 20.-At 9
O'Clock last night the senate adj
iourned after a determined but
fruitless effort on the part of the
silver men, led by Jones Of Arkan-
sas, to pass the bill for the unre-
stricted coming of silver.
Mr.. Jones himself made the mo-
ton to adjourn after it had been
made evident that a voting quo
rum of senator's could not be had
in the senate chamber for an all
night struggle.
One Of the surprises Immediate
ly preceding the adjournment
was a resolution submitted by Mr..
Wolcott, of Colorado, the most ac-
tive silver leader, declaring that
while the welfare of the country
required the unlimited coinage of
silver at 16 to l, yet in view of the
near adjournment Of congress aud
the pressing demand of appropri-
alton bills, it was inexPedient to
enter upon consideration Of the
silver bill at the present session
of congress. No action was taken
on the resolution, but it was re-
garded as significantly foreshad-
owing the course of the silver bill,
when it should come to a final
rote. Senator Jones has with
drawn the silver bill in the inter
est of the appropriation bills.
Senator Wolcott's resolution,
brought forward last evening, will
not be presented.

nlMErALLIsM M agnnAnY.

The debate in the German
reichstag upon the question of
calling an international monetary
conference brought out the fact
that the cause Of bimetallism has
some very prominent supporters
in that body. II is not certain
that such a conference will be call
ed by the German government,
but the debate will set fnanciers
in other countries as well as in
Germany to thinking.
In Germany there is a strong
bimetallist party which numbers
among its members some of the
most eminent political economists
in the German universities. With
these men the subject has been a
very 1--we one for several years.
They have become involved in
many controversies with gold
monometallists. and the debates
have revealed many shades Of opin-
ion.
German bimetallists see clearly
the effect Of gold recommendation,
and an address issued last year by
a number Of the leaders presented
very strong arguments in favor of
the full use of both metals. They
recognize that Germany's agricult-
ural interests are seriously affect
ed by the appreciation of gold, and
also that the effort Of that coun-
try to extend the sale of its manu-
features is in danger of being Grip
pied by the establishment of COM
peting industries in silver using
nations. The difference between
the price of silver and that of gold
makes a barrier to trade between
the gold-using and the silver us
ing world, and the effect of this is,
like that of a protective tariff, to
induce men to embark in industri-
al enterprises in countries which
are thus prevented from importing
from g%old-using nations.
Considerations of this kind have
great weight with German politi-
cal economists, and arguments
based upon them keep alive the
sentiment in favor of bimetallism.
Were Germany to call an interna-
tional conference bimetallists
would be well represented among
the delegates which the govern
ment of that country would send.
1t is probable also that much
more would be accomplished
toward a sulution of the fnan-
cial problem than was achieved q.
the Brussels conferene. England
would be glad if such a meeting
were called, for it would like thu
silver question to be settled, al
though it is not yet ready to cal
a conference.

A STRIKE.

The Brooklyn street railway
strike has been declared off by the
labor leaders, The losses ran up
to something like 50, O00 1000. When
the strike started it was stated
that district assembly 70 had from
$4,000 to $4,000 in its treas
ury. About $4,000 was subscrib-
ed by sympathizers. All this has
been spent and the S350,O00 wag-
es the men would have earned has
been lost. The Brooklyn Heights
railroad company was the heavi-
est loser among the roads. 1t is
estimated to have lost directly
100000. The other systems have
lost close to 100000. The cost
TO the state for troops is expected
TO exceed $250,000. The damage
done to cars manned by inexper-
ienced motormen is placed at 800
600 more and the loss in earning
capacity by the military during
their stay in Brooklyn is conserv-
atively estimated at $250,000. Spe-
cial officers and deputies cost
Kings and Queens counties $780,
900 and the loss to the business
men Of Brooklyn is considered
light when placed at 500, 900.

THE AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE.

THE AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE.
For n number of years this in
stitution has been reported in a
ho%urishing condition and it has
not been considered necessary to
investigate its internal affairs, but
early in the session of the present
Legislature two of the members of
the board of regents went before
the council and asked that a com-
mittee be appointed for the pur-
pose of examining into the affairs
of the college. The request was
complied with more rs a matter of
form than expediency, but thro'
investigation a state of affairs has
been exposed which indicates gross
extravaganza, mismanagement and
probable fraud. A perusal of the
synopsis of the minority report
submitted by the committee ap-
pointed TO investigate the concern,
Is as follows:
at charged that the books of
the Las Cruces college were mis-
erably and improperly kept and
that while the treasurer, Demetrio
Chayes, was, according TO the
books, due the institution S29,-
96262, he refused to make an ac-
counting for the same or to allow
the banks in which he claimed it
was deposited to make any state
ment on the subject, claiming that
it was his private business. The
report further states that the
buildings were, in Nj. Perea's
opinion, overcrowded, due largely
to the fact that the first and sec
ond classes are properly public
school grades. Mr. Perea said that
the allowance for printing made
for the Independent Democrat for
the last six months was 81, .35
and he suggested that an annuel
printing bill of $1,000 was rather
steep for an institution the size Of
the Las Cruces college. The re-
port recommends a reduction in
the salaries of all the officials and
an increase IN the bond Of the
treasurer, Demetrio Chaves, to
$4,000 instead of $4,000 as at the
present The report recommends
Demetrio Chaves and his clerk,
Mr.. Lester. be required to report
Immediately at the council cham
Der with their books aud papers
for the purpose Of showing fully
the condition Of the institution"

COLORADO'S EXPERIMENT WITH
POPULISM.

LIE pOpullsI IN OOlO-
RADIO is not identical either In caus-
es or development, with the cor
respondent movement in Kan
sas, Nebraska and the South.
The real influence which sud
denly swelled the populist vote
from 6per cent to AZ per cent of
the state, is found not in the
Ocala platform of the Farmers AL
lance, nor in the vagarities of the
Omaha platform, but in the atti-
tude of the two great National par
ties on the question of bimetallism.
The voters Of Colorado are
practically unanimous in
the advocacy of bimetallism. Long
prior to the National conventions
of 1892 there had developed an
intense sentiment that the policy
of gold monometallism was de-
structive not only to the interests
of Colorado, but to manufacturing,
producing and commercial inter
ests throughost the United States.
In the hope of influencing Nation
al policy, 'silver clubs" were or
ganized throughout the States in
the winter of 1891 and 1892, the
members of which we're pledged
to vote for no Presidential candi-
date who was not committed, and
whose party was not committed,
to the free coinage OF silver. Dele
gates and organized COMMITTEES
labored with the republicans at
Minneapolis, ana afterward with
the democrats at Chicago. Their
efforts we're fruitless. Then follow
ed the populist convention at
Omaha, with a declaration in
favor of bimetallism, but with a
demand for paper money, to be
distributed in accordance with the
subtreasury scheme Of the Farm
ers' Alliance, cor a better system
(noscitur ex sociB). Here then,
was a National party pledged to
the free coinage Of silver. Thou
sands Of Colorado voters turned to
it, not because they accepted its
doctrines on other subjects-for
they ignored them-but for the
purpose Of protesting against the
attitude Of the two dominant par
ties on the one subject of coinage.
At the ensuing election theWeav-
er electors received q plurality OF
NEARLY 5000 votes in Colorado,
aud the populist candidate for gov.
ernor was elected by a plurality Of
5,436. Thus Colorado soon found
herself subject to the full sway Of
a populist regime.
From the foregoing statement
it will be apparent that populisI
ascendancy in Colorado was acct
dental. II did not represent the
judgement Of the great mass Of
citizens. 1t was with a shock Of
surprise that vigorous and enter
prising, albeit conservative, Colo
RADIO discovered that she had put
her neck into the yoke Of populisI

In the republican city conven-

ring a discussion Of credentials,
one Of the delegates assaulted an
other. Delegates armed them
selves with canes end chairs and
pounded each other indiscrimi-

of an hour. resulting in many bad
bruises and sadly battered hats.
Police interference stopped the
row. Geo b. Swift was nominal
ed for mayor by reclamation. He
acted as mayor during the inter

QUARANTINE EXTENSION.

The quarantine against Mexi-
can cattle has been suspended
until March 10, to enable Ameri-
can cattle buyers, who have been
buying cattle on the Sonora side
of the line, to get them into this
country. This extension of the
time upon which the quarantine
regulation will become effective,
is all right as. far as it goes,
but the difficulty is found in the
fact that the date fixed will not
give the American buyers sufi-
cient time in which to get their
cattle across the Mexican line.
The great majority of the con-
tracts, which were made several
months ago, did not contemplate
this restriction and consequently
the date of delivery of stock in
most instances was made for the
early part of May. Unless a furth-
err extension is made till about that
time our American buyers Will
probably suffer great loss.

Last Saturday the members Of
SGettysburg Post, No. 3S, G. A. r.,
iof Helix, met in Athena. The OBJ
ject of the meeting was to consider
the moving of the headquarters of
the Post from Helix to this city.
After some consideration and dis
cussion, it was decided to locate
the post in Athena. Four new
members were added to the post,
which is now in hourishing condi-
tion, The post was formerly locat-
ed in this city, but for the reason
that number Of its members were
of the Helix neighborhood
the post was changed to that point,
but it has since transpired that
iAthena offered better inducements,
land its removal back to this city is
the result.
There is also some talk of organ
izing a Sons of Veterans camp here.
There are several at Weston, at
Adams, at Helix and in this city
who are eligible to membership.
1t is thought from point of loca-
tion that a county organization Of
Sons Of Veterans could be made a
success. Weston at one time had
a camp,which, for some cause or
other, surrendered its charter and
disbanded.
A movement is on foot to trans
fer the meeting place of the Ladies
Relief Corps from Helix to Athena.
