DESTROY THE GREENRAcKs.

The greediness with which the last bond
issue was snapped up, both in this country
and in London. ought to be an eye-opener
10 the pablic. It shows plainly that much
better terms could have been secured had
the bonds been advertised in the usual man.
ner, and that the administration has either
been buncoed or was willing conspirator
10 the secret bond sale. 1t also indicates
that Uncle Sans Treasury is used for specu-
latiye purposes bv gold gamblers, and that
it is necessary to retire the greenbacks TO
stop their further disastrous work.
More than half the gold drawn from the
Treasury to diminish our reserve and force
New York, and is now being returned to
the Treasury in the identical bags and condi-
tion it was received by the speculators. The
greenbacks used for redemption have again
been paid out, and are probably once more
in the hands Of the spectators, and there is
no reason why the business Of draining our
gold reserve should not be resumed. and an
other bond sale made necessary.
When once redeemed paper currency
should be Cancelled. The coin for which il
was created has taken its place as circu-
lating medium, and reissue Of the notes as
money affords opportunity for speculation.
Our greenbaeks have been the source Of all
financial trouble. because their reissue after
having been redeemed gave gold gamblers
control OF our reserve. The facility with
which greenbacks could be gathered and
nsed for redemption has made our gold re-
serve a raiding place 10 supply the world,
and in times OF depression has forced the
government to resort TO bond sales TO main
tain public credit.
There is no way to free this government
from the control of Wall street except to
redeem and destroy the greenbacks.

sILvERlTEs IN CONFERENCE.
Four Hours Spent in Consultation r.
garding Which All Were Silent.

Four Hours Spent in Consultation Re-
garding Which All Were Silent.
A number OF the members OF the Birne-
talic League met here yesterday for con-
ference at the league headquarters Among
those present were: Gen. A. j. Warner,
president ofthe league; Representative New
lands, of Nevada; Judge Sheldon, OF Hart
ford, Conn Representative Sibley, of Penn
sylvania, and the editor of the Middlebury
(Vt.) Register.
The greatest secrecy was maintained as to
the conference. Gen. Warner said, how
ever. that they had come together to talk
over the situation and nothing more. No
policy for the future was outlined and no
definit action was taken as TO any OF the
matters which were brought up.
For the last several days, however, Tu-
NOR has been in circulation here to the effect
that certain silver men We're formulating a
plan which, if carried out. would result in
placing a national silver ticket in the field
for the next national campaign. 1t is not
believed, however, that the plan as yet has
taken any definite shape and many promi-
nent silver leaders discourage it,
Senators Teller and Wolcott and num-
Der of others, active in the cause of silver
in Congress, were not present at yesterday S
meeting, and it is known that some OF
them have not been in accord with the views
entertained by the league. The meeting
was in session about four hours.

IT sEOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN PUB
IISHFD

In a characteristic editorial, yesterdays
New York Sun opens its vials of biIlingsgate
on the Associated Press and incidentally
drops a little of it on our esteemed citizen,
Mr.. Frank B. Noyes, who is a director in that
organization.
For some time past the United Press, Of
which the Sun is principal stockholder, and
the Associated Press have been waging bitter
warfare. Their frequent attacks on each
other have been anything but praiseworthy,
and their attempts to destroy one another
have been expensive and unbusiness like.
Both these organizations are great news
gatherers, both are necessary to good tele-
graphic news service, and both are in de-
mand in the newspaper world. But bott
are strugglingto overthrow competition, and
since the sun libel Of yesterday will probably
end their fight in law court.
In Washington or wherever he is known
Mr.. Moves needs no defense from The TINES
His long and honorable business career with
the Star and other reputable enterprises, his
high moral and social standing as citizen,
and his upright record in all positions where
his services have been in demand by this
community have placed him above and be-
yond the reach OF slanderers. II is enough
20 say that no other citizen enjoys a greater
degree OF confidence and esteem. And if
the outrageous attack OF the Sun on the As
sociated Press has no better foundation than
its shameful libel Of Mr.. Noyes, it had best
been left unpublished.
The work Of Rascals'' looks very much
like the venom Of disappointed rival.

PRAISE FROM SIR HUBERT.

The address of Hon. c. c. Bonney, of Chi
cago, before the Woman's Council yester-
day morning, marked an epoch in the
history Of this remarkable symposium. Mr..
Bonney is lawyer Of large practice in the
West, but is known the country and world
over as the president Of the Worlds
Auxiliary Congresses OF the Columbian
Exposition. The conduct of these congresses
was a task second only TO the work Of the
exposition itself. The broad, the just,
and the comprehensive character Of these
congresses was more largely due to Mr..
BOnney than any other one person. he is
himself a gentleman of scholarly attain.

Chairman Sayers, OF the House Appro-

the intention of making a determined
fight upon the amendment to the sundry

losing friends in the Senate.
The Senate District Committee yester-
day was a tie on the Columbia Suburban

When. therefore. this man paid glowing
tribute 10 the worth OF woman's work, as
he knew il at the Exposition, and then
gave his unqualified Endorsement of the

Pettisrew DisclOseS scheme TO Force the
Pooling Bill to Its Passage.
AS the session OF the Senate was about 70
| close last night Mr.. Pettigrew, OF South Da-
| kota, gave decidedly interesting turn To
| the otherwise tedious debate on the Indian
| appropriation bill. II has been discussed
for several days, and Mr.. Can, in charge OF
| the measure, sought to secure an agreement
| for final vote to-day
There We're numerous objections and
/ among them one from 3Ir. Pettigrew, which
was emphasized by the brief but pointed
| statement he made II was in the nature OF
| disclosure that a private agreement had
I been reached among senators whereby the
! )Ooling bill would be taken up at O'Clock
/ this afternoon and held before the Senate
/ day and night and over Sunday, until
/ passed
! The statement came so unexpectedly and
4 was the sequel to such active work through
/ out the day by the friends OF the pooling
/ bill, that II created something OF a sensation
| among the Senators and spectators.
Mr. Pettigrew added to this announce
ment that he would take effective steps to
defeat the passage of the pooling bIl by OBJ
| jecting To the disposal of the Indian appro-
/ priation bill or other measures having pre-
/ cedence.
The contract school item OF the Indian
I bill was completed in such form as TO pro-
| vide 20 per cent. reduction from the ex-
/ penditures Of last year. Mr.. Morgan spoke
I throughout the afternoon III favorof Judi
/ eial system for the Indian Territory, but
| his amendment To that effect was finally
/ ruled cut or order
The House devoted Washington's birth
| day To the further consideration OF the gen
eral deficiency appropriation bill. Most
/ of the time was spent in the discussion OF
4 questions OF minor Importance relating TO

Christian Charity Needed Here

NASHVILLE, September 10.-Mrs.
Nellie Reach, a white woman, was
arrested today and locked up for
breaking into house and stealing
a watch. The story is pitiful
one. Some months ago, she, her
husband and infant child came to
this city from the country. They
could not get work and on
Wednesday were in starving con-
dition. Moved by hunger, she
entered her neighbours house and
took a watch which she pawned
for a pittance, with which she
bought food for herself and family.
She acknowledged the deed and it
is thought she will not be prose
cuted.

OF Interest to Bowlers.

NEW YORK, Sept. 20.-The new
bowling rules, as revised by the
American Bowling congress, which
met in this city last week, have
just been made public. Some rad
ical changes were made. Every
rule appertaining to the game was
thoroughly overhauled. Rule No.
8 is probably the most important
one. 1t changes the game from
three balls to each game to two
balls and in no way interferes with
the present method of scoring.
Thomas Curtis, of the Elephant
club, of Brooklyn, is president of
the new organization, and Samuel
Knapp secretary.

PARIS, Ky, Sept. 20.-A sensa-

one of the best known farmers in
this county, had skipped with a
large amount of money. He left
home last Monday, one week ago,
with cattle for Cincinnati, and has
not since been heard from. His
creditors became suspicious and an
examination proved that he mort
gagged his home, 1,21l acres of land,
to the following parties: North
western Mutual Life Insurance
company, $11, 600; Citizens Build
ing association of Paris, Sl4, 900;
William L. Arson, $4,000. Today
eight attachment suits were filed
by parties who hold his notes.
They amount to $10,5 800 and others
amounting to several thousand
will be filed today.

A CHINESE EXPOSURE.
Chinese Resident Actors For Allan.
Ia Duplicated BY importation.

SAN Francisco, Sept. 20.-The
local Federal officers are investi-
eating an alleged transaction by
which two notorious Chinese slave
dealers brought $50 Chinese labor
ers into the country, ostensibly as
actors for the Atlanta fair.
1t is believed by the officers here
that the real actors for the EXPOSE
ton were procured in New York,
and that of the men and women
brought into the country as actors,
the women are purchased slaves
and the men laborers. To avoid
suspicion they were landed at Vic
toria, B. c., and brought across the
line at Ogdensburg, n. Y.
The United States district attor-
ney will lay the facts in the case
before the Federal grand jury and
ask for the indictment against
''Little Pete" and Long lam, who
have bad reputation.

COMING IN SLOW.
City Collections Took Drop on Ac-
nni1nf Of That naciainn

City Collections Took a Drop on Ac-
count of That Decision.
The city collectors office is doing
a graveyard business since the de-
eision of the Court OF Appeals.
Where heretofore thousands of dol
lars were collected, only hundreds
come in now. People enter the
office and ask how much they owe.
The figures are told them and they
say, GALL right, just deduct the
taxes for 1891 and will pay the
balance
The collector, however, has no
authority to deduct anything, and
the would-be liquidator leaves
without paying a cent. Others alb
solutely refuse to pay cent, say
ing that maybe the other levies are
also illegal.
The total uncollected back taxes
amount to nearly 100000, the
back taxes for 1891 alone being
$4,000.
City Attorney Minor says that
the city will not lose anything,
even il the higher courts decide
against 1t, as a new levy can be
made and the only trouble will be
the Inconvenience caused by the
delay Of collecting the money.

WILD CAT SCHEME.
Proposed Collection of One Billion
Dollars TO Buy the Pope's Tenn
poral Power.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2O.-The
project, originating in London, of
raising one billion dollars to be
placed at the disposal of the Pope
as a fund with which he could ne
gotiate with Italy for the restora.
ton of his temporal power, is re-
garded by leading Catholic au-
thorities here as visionary and
absurd.
The reported circular issued in
London has not been seen in this
city nor has this subject come to
the knowledge of the authorities
in any form. 1t is regarded as
emanating either from some well
intentioned but misguided indi-
vidual or else from some one de-
sirous of arousing prejudice against
the church. 1t is stated that no
such plan is within the bounds of
the possible. At present, so far as
known here, the Vatican has no
plan under consideration for the
restoration of temporal power or
for the establishment of temporal
authority elsewhere than at Rome.
