measure, he transmitted message to
congress, stating that be had already
negotiated the sale of $62,000,000 worth
of bonds.
Connected with this last sale a new
feature of the situation has developed.
Hitherto the bonds issued during this ad-
ministration have been sold at figure
which reduced the interest rate to three
per cent In this last transaction the in
terest rate has been advanced to three
and three fourths per cent This is pro-
badly the result of an understanding be-
tween the president and the gold wor-
shippers, which has for its purpose the
frightening of congress into making fu-
ture bonds payable in gold instead of in
coin.
Even now, before the deal ia consum-
mated. the president has informed con-
gress that the pending issue will be TAX
en- at three per cent if the change is
made. But having once thrown off the
Cleveland yoke, it is safe to predict that
the national legislature will not again
bear their necks to it.

CALL OF 2OTH CENTURY.

President Gates of GrinneII College Leo
lures at Washburn.
The call of the twentieth century, &C.
cording to President Gates, of Grinnell
College, Iowa, in his lecture at Wash
burn chapel last night, is "From Liberty
to Unity" He impressed himself upon
his hearers as a clear, logical speaker,
rather than as an orator. He said that
the study of history is the most facinat-
ingly interesting occupation of the mind,
and SO in dealing with his subject he
would dip into history for the material.
That history consists of ideas, and from
that compilation he would choose four
ideas which had been impressed upon
the people of Christendom. Monothe-
ism, which the Hebrews learned only
after 400 years of bondage in Egypt
Right, upon which the life of our country
depends, and by which our public oiti-
zens must be sctuated instead of by
policy. That all religion is an abomina-
ton unless it teaches Us to do right
We are now at the beginning of a
great reformation, the signs of which are
heard in the labor troubles of the dav,
and that now the one great step, t'The
call of the next century," is from the
liberty of the American citizen to the
unity of the broth erhood of men And
this unity will come through business
because men must do business

SINCE it has been shown that higher
rate of interest than three per cent can
be exacted, it is altogether probable that
when the next issue is made the interest
rate will be still further advanced Two
more issues with g corresponding in
crease of the rate will bring the interest
up to the limit under the law, which is
i've per cent There is little doubt that
this ia what Mr.. Cleveland and the bond
purchasers have started out to do What
is the use to buy bonds bearing three per
cent interest when bonds bearing five
per cent can be obtained. It is a great
scheme to rob the people, and congress
sits supinely by and makes no effort tc
stop it.

IT is officially announced from the
White House that the purchasers of the
last issue of bonds have agreed not to
withdraw the gold paid for them from
the treasury This insures a gold re-
serve of that amount, provided no one
else wants it. OF course nothing was
said about the gold now in the treasury.
1t will be necessary. therefore, to keep
the gold in separate vaults now. The

purchasers, in one, and the rest in anoth-
er, for the remainder Of the people, who

THEPREsTDENr AVID CONGRESS-

III n FhES1 OENL -4ND CON CHESS.
By the aid of the federal patronage at
his disposal the president was able to
coerce congress into repeating the Sher-
man law. The offices in his gift having
now, to great extent been disposed of
as rewards for votes on that iniqitous
measure he is left without any influence
over congress.
AS might have been expected under
such circumstances the bill which he
caused to be framed, providing for the
placing of debt of $50 100000 on the
people was defeated as it should have
been. The bill was unnecessary and
uncalled for. The government is under
no necessity of borrowing dollar.
The president, not being in position
to exert any other influence over con
gress, endeavored to brighten that body
by a threat to issue an unlimited amount
of bonds under the law of 1875, if his
bidding were not done. Congress, in de-
feating the Springer bill, has evinced q
disposition to let Mr.. Cleveland assume
the responsibility of increasing the ma.
TONS debt, alone. 1t was = case of issue
bonds in any event and congress has moi
chosen to be q party to it
The credit of Its defeat belongs to al
parties alike. A majority of both Repub
cans and Democrats and all the PopuiIats
voted against It.

the result as he has shown himself pre-
pared to carry out his threats Immedi

in fact the only faults that he is so
slow on this great issue. He ought at
the very start to have gone right at the
real evil of the situation-the treasury
notes-and recommended their payment
and cancellation at once. Perhaps L
ought not to blame him fer not doing
what all our public men have been
afraid to do. but the right thing to do
is so plain that he ought to have seen it
and proceeded to do it at the start. Now,
the g1st of it is just this: Our notes are
out, and they are demand notes, and we
are whining because people present
them for payment Why shouldn It they?
They have a perfect right to, and our
immediate duty is to pay them. This
country is able to pay all it owes hun

there is, and just as soon as we say SO

the talk may begin with such words as
Justice, honor and Hawaii it always

certain about Grover Cleveland. Those
who hold him cheap charlatan or mere
political accident are wilder, if posi-
BILE, than those who esteem him the in

the civic virtues. Extremists on most

WASHINGTON, Feb. 7.-What kind of
a man is Grover Cleveland anyhow? In
what shape will he come out of the pres
ent struggle, and how will he rank in
history? 1t seems quite strange that
these questions should be asked in the
middle of a presidents second terra,
when the public has had six years of
his administration to judge from, and
yet there has been no time, not even
when he was a candidate the first time,
that the first has been asked so persist
emily and received SO many widely and
I might say wildly contradictory an
swers. ''It is just Cleveland's luck, "
says General Grosvenor, "for his most
bitter enemies to put themselves in the
wrong When all the country was down
on him and many patriots were cursing
his Hawaiian policy, the Chicago trou-
BILE came on, and his action was Endorsed
by his severest critics. - And when 1

hard to locate one who does not warmly
indorse some feature Of his administra-
