THE PRESIDENTS SPECIAL MES,
SAGE.

The President, in his special message
to Congress, says the present lack Of
confidence is in our ability toredeem om
currency in gold. The President then
says that the only way to get the gold is
to sell bonds for gold. He says the
trouble with our present law, which au.
thorizes the sale Of bonds, is that it only
provides that bonds shall be sold for
coin.
The president asks Congress to author
ize the sale Of bonds for gold only, and
then in order to prevent the holders of
legal tenders, from drawing gold from
the treasury, he desires law to with
draw the legal tenders from circulation,
and supply their place with bonds. The
President states that since the first of
January, 1894, more than Sl72, 100000 OF
gold have been drawn out Of the treas
ury for shipment to Europe or boarding
at home. The President further says
that increasing the government revenues
by increasing tariff taxes, will not afford
relief.
The President claims he is not un-
friendly to silver, provided the issue is
limited, but he insists throughout his
message that gold shall be recognized as
the sole standard of value.
As a means of maintaining the gold
reserve, the President recommends that
Congress enact law, providing that
duties on imports shall be paid in gold.
1t is noted that Chairman Springer, of
the Banking and Currency committee,
has introduced bill to carry into effect
the legislation proposed in the special
message. As no provision is made for
silver in Springer's bill, the silver Con-
gressmen supposed it was left blank in
order to allow an amendment to be pre-
pared by the silver men. To this in
quiry Chairman Springer said the bill
was prepared at the treasury by Secre.
tary Carlisle, and was not intended to
provide for silver, but only to meet the
present emergency.

A TRAMP ExTERMINAToR.

One of the greatest nuisances that
confronts many counties and the smaller
municipalities is that of tramps. Most
places without work house give them
lodging and a pretty fair meal-just
what they want, and the result is a
never failing supply, much to the detri-
ment of the community and the public
funds. Ionia county, Michigan, adopted
plan that is worth "pushing along" I"
A contract was made with the sheriff of
the county TO care for tramps at 10
cents head per day, and all tramps
caught were at once arrested
and turned over to the tender mercies
of the sheriff. Ten cents day
was not very much and as the aforesaid
official did not care to lose any money,
in fact was in Office TO make money, he
put the tramps on bread and water
diet. The result was that as soon as Mr..
Tramp was released he hastened to other
pastures more green and fair, and the
attendance Of tramps in Ionia county
fell of several hundred per cent. The
county has renewed the contract with
the sheriff for 1895, and while that
official will make less money the people
will be relieved of a very disagreeabe
nuisance and a very perpleXing question
is solved. The plan Of Michigan county
might well be tried by counties in our
own and other states.

and Declares His Innocence.

from Messrs Gaber and Haymaker, Of this
city They claim he was sent to Cleveland to
sell some horses for them and
that he never turned over the
amount stated in the foregoing. DufIey
claims he was not their agent, but partner in
the deal; that they lost money in Cleveland
and he took the horses to Buffalo. They con-
tinued to lose in Buffalo and he notified the
gentlemen of the situation. Not caring TO
bring the same stock back TO Cleveland he
made trades in Buffalo for a different class of
horses, bringing them to Cleveland and still

NICARAGUA CANAL SCHEME.

The bill to aid the great Nicaragua
Canal is the most important measure Of
this Congress. The government agrees
TO guarantee $7O,OO0,OOO of the Nicara-
qua Canal Company's bonds, principal
and interest. The company proposes to
issue $50, 600, 900 Of bonds without the
guaranty of the government, and these
two sums, with the sale Of stock, it is ex
pected will complete the great work.
Senator Turpie, Of Indiana, who has
iaade a thorough investigation of the
status Of the Nicaragua Company, says
the company Is not solvent. We have
had very unfortunate experience with
the Pacific railroads, caused by guaran-
teeine their bonds, by which the taxpay-

Before He Died.

As announced in these columns Monday
Mr.. Joseph Meyer, q resident of this city, is
dead. He died in Bagdad, Asiatic Turkey, on
December 2Oth aged about 81 years. He died
from the effects Of disease known as Asiatic
fever.
A letter and will addressed to DR.. J. NJ.

tenoon. 1t was written by the United States
Consul at Bagdad and signed by Mr.. Meyer.
In the letter he appoints his brother as his ex-
ecutor without bond. He mentions his desires

sence, to a School Of Technology in Boston.

ter, bad food and exposure. He was formerly

In THE TOLLS.
A New Baltimore Pitcher That Went
to the Well Once Too Often.

Samuel Newhouse and DIR. Falor made an
important capture at New Baltimore Sunday
afternoon. For the past eighteen months Mr..
Taylor proprietor Of the store at that place,
has been missing valuablearticles at odd times.
He came to the conclusion that the goods were
usually taken on Sunday, when most of the
good people Of the village were at church.
1t was arranged, therefore, that Taylor should
go to meeting as usual and leave Newhouse
and Falor on guard. Some time after the fam
lily had gone they heard some one inside the
store and gave the alarm. The thief finding
that he was apprehended, ran out through the
cellar and tried to hide in the stable hay NOW
near by, but his followers pursued and captur-
cd him, the thief proving to be Chas, Keifer,
young man Of the town. He
was found to be in possession
of a key which would un-
lock the cellar door and thus
gain access to the store room. He had in his
pockets two boxes of cigars, some tobacco and
chewing gum, which he acknowledged he had
taken.
He also confessed to having entered the
store on Sunday at different times the past
two years. His room was searched and robes,
harness and many other things were found
which he also confessed to have stolen.

THE gold reserve is disappearing al
most as fast as the Democratic maiori-
ties melted away last fall. That is say
ing great deal.-[Cleveland Leader.
Yes, the gold reserve is disappearing
under the financial policy, which the
Leader so ably championed some eighteen
months ago and which the whole Republi-
can party in Congress, with the exception
ola few silver senators from the Rocky
Mountains, advocated and supported, in
both the House and Senate. The true
Democrats, who predicted at the time,
what has since transpired, were ignored
and voted down, by the united vote of
Republicans and Administration Demo.

THE county commissioners want the
opinions Of the people on the question
of cutting out the trees about the court
house. We imagine there would be a
pretty general chorus of regret expressed
over proposition to turn the tree
butcher loose on those trees, some of
them now fully half grown. There are
several fine specimens in the rows,
one, particularly, midway on Tus-
carawas street. There would probably
be no objection to eliminating two or
three Of the poorer ones, especially as
the trees are undoubtedly too closely
planted. But to cut away and forever
lose the artistic and refining influence
of the green boughs of sum
mer on the hard perpendicular
and horizontal lines Of the great pile of
stone and mortar would be in a high
degree reckless, unappreciative
and short sighted pol cy to pursue.
1t is easy to cut out a noble tree. A
great many people have unfortunately
acquired that art. But the ranks of
those who plant, grow and admire trees
greatly needs replenishing. The county
commissioners do not want to set any
such example as the one proposed.

Every Cine Exhausted.

A Cleveland special says No progress what,
ever seems to have been made on the Caven
case by the Cleveland police. A score of clues
have been followed but all came to naught.
Time and again it has been announced that
the murderer of the Valley Railroad official
would soon be in custody, but the expectation
has not been realized. And now, more than
four months after Caven's body was found in
the area in the rear of the Clement ON Rock
well street, the assassin is as far from arrest as
he was on the day the fearful crime was com
mitted. The detectives have exhausted every
theory as to the identity Of the murderer and
they can only wait and hope for something on
which TO base another.
