The Treasury Repora.

So many topics are treated, and
with the power, candor and ability
50 Characteristic OF Mr. Carlisle.
that comments on the treasury re-
port may be reserved and its leading
recommendations and policies noted
in the briefest way, says the Pitts
burg Post. The secretary notes the
improved condition of the public rev
nues, the result of the country re
turning to its normal business con
ditions. "The revenue laws now in
force" he says, twill, in my opinion,
yield ample means for the support
of the public service upon the basis
established" The proyiso TO this
10 that "the progress now being made
toward the restoration of our usual
state Of prosperity will continue
without serious interruption" There
fore Secretary Carlisle holds there
is no need of imposing additional
taxation on the people in any form.
This may be conclusive on the sub
ject. If the administration is salts
fled with revenue conditions, congress
should be, and the people assuredly
will be glad to be exempt from new
taxes.
The secretary repeats the recon
mendation that the treasury shall
have the power to issue and sell, or
use in the payment of expenses,
short time bonds, bearing low rate
Of interest, to supply casual deficien-
cies in the revenues. The treasury,
irrespective of present conditions,
should never be without that power.
The bonds may not be required, but
the treasury should have authority
to issue and use them.
The strongest part Of the report
is the argument Of the secretary in
favor of the retirement of the de-
mand notes at the earliest practical
BILE day. The plan he proposes to
accomplish this is by the issue of
short-time bonds, payable in gold
bearing, 3 per cent interest AS it
is probable that any plan for the re
tirement of these notes will require
considerable time for its complete
execution, he urges the prohibition OF
the future issue of demand notes or
of national bank notes Of less de-
nomination than $40, thus making
room for the circulation of silver
coin and certificates of small demon
nations. The suggestion is made
that the national banks be allowed
to establish branches in small towns,
with a view Of bringing them closer
to the people in parts of the country
remote from large towns and cities.

The Old Roman Dead.

COLUMBUS, o., Dec. lex Sena

home in this city, about twenty min,
utes after nine o'clock this afternoon
as a result of the fall received in
November.
OF his death the Register says,
"The noblest Roman of them alp
was none too grand comparison to
fit the venerable statesman who de
parted this life yesterday. In the
height Of its grandeur the Roman
senate never produced nobler char
acter than Allen G. Thurman. Rec.

Hon. I'll. G.. Davis for Governor,

1t is given out that Hon. Henry
G. Davis, of Elkins, will be candi-
date for the Democratic nomination
for Governor, of this State. Where
could better man for the place be
found in the Democratic ranks? 1t
will give us great pleasure to support
him for the nomination and for cleo
ton. We look upon Mr.. Davis as
the strongest and most popular can
didate the Democrats could nomi
nate. His nomination would mean
his election, and the election of the
whole Democratic State ticket. With
Mr. Davis for Governor and Hon. j.
N. Camden in the U. S. Senate, our
State would boom, as it never boom
ed before.-Point Pleasant Register.

Mad Dog Seare.

The Hampshire Review SAYS
The fact that dog recently died in
this community with rabies and that
it was well known that it had bitten
dogs and other animals, was the
cause of the County Court meeting
in special session on Wednesday last
to take action in reference thereto.
The court appointed Jno. Davis
and VIM. H. Maloney special officers
for the purpose and directed them to
kill every dog or other animal that
to their knowledge had been bitten
by the rabid dog and also gave them
authority to have confined or to kill
any dog that they may suspect oi
having been bitten.
The Court further directed the
Prosecuting Attorney to prosecute
any person or persons who may re
sist the said special officers In the
discharge of their duties.
Davis and Maloney started on
their rounds on Friday last and as a
result several Of the canine species
have been made to bite the dust.

WHERE THEY SIT.
West Virginia Delegation Getting To-
gether ON the Floor of the House.

Three of the West Virginia mem
bers, Messrs. Dayton, Miller and
Huling, by private arrangements
with other members have secured
very good seats in the same row in
the first section to the left of the
center aisle of the House, on the Re
publican side. There are but five
seats in the row, and the outsiders
with them are Judge Daniels, of New
York, and McCleary, of Minnesota.
Messrs. Huling and Dayton occupy
adjoining seats and Judge Daniels
sits between the latter and Judge
Miller, who has the middle aisle seat.
Capt Dovener wants to get in the
same row with his colleagues and is
going to open negotiations with
Judge Daniels with view to Undue
ing him to give up his seat. If he
can do this the whole West Virginia
delegation will be snugly located
together, and can thus have excep-
tional opportunities for consultation
with view to united action in all
questions that arise.

He Has Launched His New Political
PartY-''The Patriots of America
And the "Danghters Of the Renublic.n

CHICAGO, December 16.-Wm. Fl.
Harvey, the apostle of free silver,
who is better KIN wn as Coin" to-
day launched his new political party.
According to the prospectus which
Mr. Harvey gave out, it is to be an
oath bound secret organization, with
the title of patriots of America"
Its especial mission is to advance
the cause of free silver as well as to
eliminate selfishness from politics,
and it is expected to rapidly over
come all existing political parties.
The national officers are w. H.
Harvey, First National Patriot;
Charles H. Mcclure, National Recor.
der, and James F. Adams, National
Treasurer. Mr. Harvey was first
elected head of the order, and he
then appointed Messrs. Adams and
Mcclure, and the organization was
declared complete.
No salaries attaches to any of the
offices except that of National Recor-
der, and Mr.. Mcclure announces
that he will not accept this. On the
first Tuesday of next April, however,
when the organization is expected to
be in good working order, an election
will be held and new set of officers
chosen, or the present set reelected.
The constitution expressly provides
no National officer can accept any
elective or appointive office, nor can
he acquire private property in excess
of 100000.
A side order, called the Daughters
of the Republic, is also to be started.
Its membership will be confined to
the gentler sex, and the head of it
will carry the proud title of the First
Woman of the Republic. 1t is not
to be female suffrage organization,
but rather a helping hand to the
