of Office as president of the
United States expired, the
exact amount of the gold re-
serve was $196, 245, sos, and
the increase during the
month of February 1889 was
about 50, 100000. On Feb
ruary the 28th., 1893, four
days before Cleyeland's Sec
Ond Inauguration, the total
amount of the gold reserve
in the treasury was only
SOB, 284, 218. The differ
ence in favor of the demo-
cratic administration being
500, 961, 753, and instead of
the gold reserve increasing
at the close of Harrison's adj
ministration, as was the case
when Harrison was Inaugural
ted, there was monthly a
decrease in that fund. This
was the condition Of affairs
when President Cleveland
again resumed the reins.. of
government. During the in
tervening time between his
first and second administra=
tions, laws were passed by a
congress, and APP
of by a republican
pr esident, which were not
only adverse to the interests
of the people during the Har-
rison administration, but
their baneful effects are to a
greater or less degree still a
menace to the welfare of the
government. Although Mr..
Cleveland is in no wise re-
sponsible for the passage OF
such laws, not only republic
can journals but also free sill
yer journals are endeavoring
to create the impression that
his administration should be
held amenable for their re-
suits. A retrospective view
of the accomplishments UNI
der democratic rule, while
Cleveland presided, is sufi-
cient to prove the falsity of
the accusations. 1t is hardly
probable that none but bias
ed partisans will deny that
the affairs of this nation at the
close of Cleveland's admin
istration were in a more pros
porous condition than when
Harrison retired from the
Office of president. Even re-
publican newspapers admit
that owing to the bene-
fetal results of the present
administration the prospects
of a republican victory in
1896 are not as bright now as
twelve months ago.

Iowa Sheriff

ST. LOUIS. Aug. 13.-Just as the
steamer City of st. Louis reached the
levee this morning, and while the pas
sengers were leaving the boat, negro
suddenly appeared at the gang plank III
the midst of the crowd. He whipped out
a revolver and, without warning, began
firing at Louis Davis, Captain of the
roustabouts on the boat.
He fired five shots in quick succession
and then turning he dashed up the levee
brandishing the revolver in his hand and
threatening to shoot any one who was
near him. The deed had been committed
SO quickly and UNEXPECTEDLY that the
crowd in which he stood hardly realized
what had happened until thu man was
running up the levee. Then few of the
bolder ones started in pursuit, though the
revolver that the man held in his hand
kept them all 81 considerable distance
After running for a short distance up tne
levee the man turned into one Of the
smaller streets and succeeded in eluding
the crowd.
1t was found that of the five shots fired
four had taken effect in different men.
None of the men were killed, though one
or more may die. The shooting was the
outcome OF a fight between Louis Davis
and the negro who did the shooting,
which took place on Sunday when the
boat was at Cairo. The men who were
wounded were all ernbers Of the crew
OF the boat. None of the passengers
were hurt,

further said that they had met very bad
weather, and southwest gales. An hour
afterward the Rotterdam, which was
steaming at about twelve knots an hour,
lost sight OF the Valkyrie.

IMPORTATION OF CATTLE.
SECRETARY MORTON REPLIES TO
ABNER TAYLOR.
Some Pointed Questions Which the
EX-Congressman is Requested
TO Answer.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 13.-The open cor
respondence between Secretary Morton
and Congressman Abner Taylor of
Illinois over the regulations of the De-
partment OF Agriculture, intended to en-
courage the importation of Mexican cat
tie into the United States, which has lam
gulshed recently by reason of the Secre-
tary's absence from the city, was resumed
to-day. In reply to Mr.. Tay lor's letter
OF July SIh, Secretary Morton says:
The burden of your letter is 10 the
effect that tree traders are laboring in be-
half of foreigners. You charge. by i'm
plication, that all lersons believing III
perfect commercial freedom are subsi-
diZed either by English or other foreign
capital. Is ii true that in payment for
Capitol building at Austin. in Texas, that
commonwealth granted and decided to

5000. 900 acres of land in the State of
Texas. And if such deed was made, did
they Or did they nOt organize the Capitol
Freehold Land Company, and put the
same OH the market IN England al d cap
italization of two millions of pounds
sterling?
And does not that corporation own
100000 head Of cattle in Texas? And did
not The calt-branding in 1894 OF this COM
pany aggregate 81 900 head?
And are not these lands and cattle of
the aforesaid Freehold Company bonded
in English money for the sum Of 81 00O,-
600 in guaranteed per cent. debentures,
which are mostly owned in England?
'Now. having answered the foregoing,
kindly state whether your views as TO the
impropriety OF admitting healthy cattle
from Mexico into he United States may
or may not have been biased by your pe-
cuniary interest in this English associa-
ton of cattle-ow ners? Possibly your
philanthropy as a beef-producer may
have forgotten in its far-reaching geneT-
osity the wage-earners and other beef
consumers in the United States.
"rhe relation OF the supply of cattle to
the demand for cattle fixes the selling
price for cattle. 1t is barely possible
therefore that, unconsciously, in your
desire to raise the price Of cattle you for
got that increasing the supply from Mex
leo or anyw here else would make cattle
and beef cheaper.
NO one can, in view of the above
facts, suspect for moment that the part
owner and the agent for, and the man
aver OF corporate estate in Texas with
hundred thousand cattle upon il which
are largely owned in England, can do
otherwise than aver valiantly. protecting

BRADY HELD TO ANSWER.

VIII Have to Stand Trial for the Mur-
der of Sheriff Bogard.
MARYsvMLE, Aug. 13.-The examina-
ton OF Harry Williams for the murder OF
Sheriff J. j. Bogard was resumed in
Justice Aldrich's court this morning.
Evidence was introduced showing the
close relationship between the dead rob-
Der, known rs Sam Mcclure, alias
Browning, and the defendant, better
known as Jack Mcclure, alias Jack
Brady, they having passed as brothers.
1t was proved that the defendant had
been In this city the day before the rob-
berry. and that he had bicycle when he
left town. Taken with the fact that the
bicycle was found near the scene of the
hOld-up, and that it was identified as hav-
ing been rented to Brady, the prosecution
did not think 1t necessary to introduce
any more evidence as the trainmen had
testified on the previous day that the do
fendant reSemb bled the small robber,
whom they could not positively identity,
as he was masked.
When the prosecution rested Attorneys
Cariln and Forbes consulted and said
they would reserve their defense for the
Superior Court.
Judge Aldrich said that it appearing
from the evidence that there was sufficient
cause to believe that public offense had
been committed, and that the defendant
was gnllty thereof, be would hold him to-
answer before the Superior Court on u
charge OF murder, without bonds.
While there was sufficient evidence to
hold the defendant, the detectives will
have TO hunt up considerable more evil
dence in order to get Yuba County Jury
TO convict.

WAsHINGToN, Aug. 13.-Representa-

terence is the outcome OF the Memphis
Convention, at which Democratic repre-
resentatIves from all States were in

conference in Washington. The dele

Daniel, Peter j. Otey, Lynchburg, Va.
Also w. III. Hinrichsen of Spring field,
H., and ten others from that State.
1t is probable that Senator Harris will
preside over the meeting, and Casey
Young of Memphis, who is Chairman of
the Executive Committee, Will have
much to say in the proceedings.
The object OF the conference is to form
an organization within the Democratic
party favorable to free silver, and every
effort will be made TO secure harmony in
the ranks.
Mr.. Hlnrichsen said tonight: The
free silver men will nominate and elect
the next President. Naturally we in the
West turn to VIM. X. Morrison as the
one available candidate who represents
sterling democracy as in opposition to
the gold bug mugwunpery OF. the W hlte
House. While Mr.. Morrison has thus far
remained non-committal on the silver
question, yet we are assured by him that
he has the interests of his party at heart.
Ii is party will point to him in unlnistak-
able terms the necessity for free silver.
and urge upon him the leadership. AS
the silver movement originated IN the
West, also must the party come from the
West"
Senator Daniel was one of the late ar
rivals tonight. He said he expected
about 20J delegates 10 be present. He had
not come here to offer resolutions, and
did not know the nature or the ones that
would be adopted by the leaders of the
movement. 1t was his opinion. however,
that good would come of the affair, and
the country at large would applaud the
action OF the convention.

The New Board Makes Demand for
the Books and Property.
OMAHA, Aug. 13.-No demonstration
has been made to-day in the police row,
but the new board served the following
notice on the old board:
although you are already apprised of
the fact. we hereby formally notify you
that we have been appointed Fire and
Police Commissioners for the city OF
Omaha under the law of 1898, and pursu-
ant TO that law we filed our bonds in the
sum of $4,000 each, and the same have
been approved by the City Council of
said city according to law, and we have
filed our official Oaths with the City
Clerk, and are in all respects duly quail
fled and are recognized by the City Coun-
Gil and also by the court decision rem
dered by the Hon. NJ. r. Hopewell.
Therefore. we hereby notify you that
we name Wednesday. August 18th, at 10
o'clock \. VI. as a suitable time to receive
from you the records, property and rooms
that properly belong TO US as the lawful
Board of Fire and Police Commission
ers."
Meantime the old Commissioners go on
reinforcing the City Jail and preparing to
resist assault.
This is taken as certain evidence that
SONNNAASS
will not surrender.
Martin j. White has answered the
orders Of the new police board. claiming
that the order to recognize them is not
fair, and that under the courts decision
he must continue 30 recognize the old
board until the Supreme Court decides
the cases.
The old board has also answered the
new board, declaring that they will not
give uD Office Tomorrow aS 0amanda1
and asking the new board to join them in
issuing quo-warranto proceedings in the
Supreme Court, step which they de-
clare is necessary before the controversy
can be finally settled. The letter is
courteous in tone, and may assist to bring
about harmony.
The City Council tonight voted to as
sign rooms in the City Hall to the new
board. if the old board refused to give up
their rooms.
Tomorrow promises to be a very eX-
citing day, but no trouble is feared.
