A New Kjnk Noticed

WAsHNGToN. D. c.. February 14.-Durine
tho conference with Secretary Carlisle, of the
mouse committee on ways and means, Mr..
Reed asked why tie plan which he recently
proposed in the house was not satisfactory
measure. The secretary proceeded to quote
a feature of the act of 1874 which had not
before been noticed in financial debates.
and which seemed 10 invalidate Mr.. Reed q
sscheme. This clause binds the secretary to
the redemption of national bank notes when
the no der formally requests it. Conse-
quent!y the withdrawal of the green backs
into the treasury. the secretary argued, would
not stop the drain of god upon it, but would
merely add another step to the process of
obtaining god, as fnanciers could procure
the national bank notes and secure treasury
notes for them. In effect, therefore, the
government is bound to redeem bank notes
in gold. To obviate this difficulty tho sec
retary suggested that the committee adopt q
plan to compel the national banks to main-
tain an agency for the redemption of their
notes and relieve the treasury of all burden
in the premises.
Secretary Carlisle admitted that the bank
ers practically had the government at their
mercy and he was obi we'd to accept the best
terms he could make with them. That bet
ter terms could have been secured he denied
emphatically.

TOPEKA. February 19.-The Topeka Jour-
nal gets this:
There is rejoicing in quiet way in very
modest home on Lake street.
Rev. w. E. De Harppart, pastor of the
Parkdale Free Methodist church. lives at
734 Lake street. He received a letter from
his mother in Pennsylvania saying that it
had been settled that the American heirs of
the old Chevaier de Harppart, of France,
were to receive the estate.
The estate of the old chevalier, who was
the Parkdale De Harppart's greatgrand-
father, amounts to 5.OOJ.OOO francs. and
there are fourteen heirs among whom to
divide it.
Mr.. De Harppart thinks the news is too
good to be true, although he has been ex-
pecting it for years, but if it is. his share
will be in the neighborhood of $4,000.
The De Harpparts formerly lived in Iowa
and have lived in McPherson and in Marion,

The New Tariff and the West.

WASHINGTON. d. c.. February 15.-Secre-
tary Morton, in response to a request for
information, has given out some very i'm
rortant facts concerning the effect of the
new tariff law on the cattle business. Ac.
cordir9 to an official statement it appears
that during the month of December, 1893.
there were only eighty.seve cattle imported
into this country. That was during the
days of the Mckinley law. During the cor
responding month of last year under the
new tariff act, cattle importations show a
total of g, 1872 head. Nearly all the importa-
tions came from Mexico, doing much to
impair the cattle business in the west.

Silver in Germany,

BERLIN. February 1s.-Count Won Mir
bach, conservative, introduced resolution
in the reichstag instructing the federal gov
erument of Germany to issue invitations
for an international monetary congress to
bring about the rehabilitation of silver as a
circulating medium.
Mirbach said that the moment had nov
arrived for Germany to take the initiative in
settling this question. Bimetaliism would
cause the rise of all prices In En.ian wher:
roId was the currency. Agriculture would
be ruined if the present system was main
tanned. America would either absorb Ger:
many's gold or adopt pure silver standard
and capture the whole cas- ern trade. Othel
supporters of the resolution indorsed th'
position that Germany had taken at th'
+ ris monetary conference in 1888, namel!
that she regarded an International agree
ment upon q ratio between gold and sllve
as desirable.

Sherman on the Bonds.

sherman on tnS 6ONOS.
The senate is still talking about the bond
contract just made by the administration.
Senator Sherman's criticisms of the bond
contract were none the less severe because
of the calm and di.passionate manner in
which he set forth what he termed Its hard
and inpolitic" features and the excessive
rate of interest allowed on thirty year bonds.
Senator Sherman declared that no bonds
should be issued except to be taken by the
people of the United States and he asserted
the abundant ability of Americans to furnish
all the gold necessary. The Ohio senator
did not. howev,r. question the presidents .
position in favor of the gold payments, but
presented the facts of al bonds issued since
1869, showing that the government had al
ways received gold for It's bonds and was
bound by common honesty to pay in gold.
Senator Sherman turned his attention to
the pre.ident and the secretary of tbs treas
Iry. THE senator from Delaware" (Mr.
Gray said Senator Sherman, ''sseks to de-
fend the pres dent. But why should this DO
necessary? The president has no po@er
over bonds. He has no business with them.
The seer tary of the treasury Is the only one
authorized to issue bonds or conduct nego-
tiatiobs. Th, president has no more power
as to bonds than he has to SIT in the senator )
seat in the senate cham ber.
Referring to the recent bond contract.
Senator Sherman said: Il must confess
do not like to say it. for have the highest
personal regard for the integrity of the pres
ident, but must say this last contract was
most faulty for the United States. To de-
liver the bonds at the rate given was at least
improviGent. Within the next thirty years
We would be able to redeem these bonds at
the rate of one half the interest we had
bound ourselves to pay.
If reasonable proposition had been made
to our own people they would have found
the gold to pay for them. We have the men
in New York, Boston, Philadelphia and Chi
ca9o. who being applied to, could cover such
bonds into gold at their full value. We have
NO need to look abroad.

Some Kansas Pension Cases.

WASHINGTON. D. c.. February 19.-Repre-
sentative Curtis called up and had passed in
the house the bill placing Mrs. Solomon
Mangold, of Carbondale, Kan, on the pen
sion roll. This is noted pension case. as
it is claimed that the husband died at st.
Joseph in 1863, but this fact could not be
established and seven special examiners had
made reports on the case.
As it is rule of the president to never
sign a pension bill. but to allow them to be-
come a law by limitation, unless vetoed,
this is the last pension work this session.
This practically kills the bill granting a
pension to the widow of the late Governor
Martin. of Kansas.
The Kansas members received a joint res
olution of the nsas legislature urging the
passage of bill to make eligible to pensions
the Eighteenth and Nineteenth Kansas regi-
ments.
An effort is being made to effect the pas
sage of the pending bill covering that ques
ton.
