This step upon the part of the sultan

himself as follows on the outcome Of

"The gold and silver men knitted each

They all had machetas, and some had

had rifles usually the Remington

Kiamal Pasha's Dismissal.

,zz.% LONDON, Nov. 9.-The Constantine.
pie correspondent Of The Times says
that Kiamu Pasha was dismissed from
the Office of grand vizier by an often
sively expressed TRADE which was intend
ed to Disguise the fact that he had refused
to retain Office and to cloak the su tam
insincerity as to his intentions regard
ing the reforms which have been de-
manded by the powers in Armenia, and
also to cloak his refusal to proclaim the
reforms by an imperial ukase.
TO PROCEED AGAINST DAILY.
The Anaconda Company to He Sued by
the Governments.
WASHINGTON, Nov. Y.-Marcus DAILY
and the great Anaconda Mining COM
pany of Montana, are to be proceeded
against by the government. Secretary
Hoke Smith ordered brief made of all
the reports of special agents who went
out to Montana to investigate into TIM
Der depredations. Some time ago it
is understood that DAILY was given
an opportunity to settle with
Uncle Sam as to an alleged large
amount his company owes the United
States. This was soon after the special
agents reported. DAILY has not respond
ed, and it is said that his company takes
issue with the government and claims
that the Anaconda, instead of being ill.,
debted to the land department, is cred
itor of the government.
The defense Of the company to the
government charges of depredations is
not given out here, but it is learned that
Daily and his attorneys will have some
thing interesting to disclose as to the
manner in which the business of the
land department has been conducted in
Montana during the past 20 years, OF
even longer. ( s@#&>.%

BONDS AND BUNCOMBE.

BONDS AND EtNCOhBI.
"At no time" says President CLEvE-
LAND i'm his message, "when bonds have
been issued has there been any considers-
tion OF the question OF paying the ex-
penses Of the government with their pro-
ceeds. There is no necessity 10 consider
that question. AZ the timo OF each bond
issue we mad safe surplus in the treas
ury, for ordinary operations, exclusive OF
gold in our reserve"
This is one OF the features in the mes
sage that we have been compelled to char
acterize as "nerve.r
What the Administration may have had
in minn at the time o! the several bond
issues we are unable, not being mind
readers, to guess. But as a matter OF
fact, the money acquired by sale Of
bonds was used to defray the expenses, to
meet which the tariff law failed to supply
enough funds. Pro forma, OF course, the
bonds were sold TO Ill up the depleted
"gold reserve" which factor in book
keeping the President misjudges, TO be
the foundation stone OF the national
finances, thing unrelated to national
prosperity aud to he kept intact at $780,
900, 900 by any means except a revenue
producing tariff law.
Tie figure and facts demonstrate the
"nerve" of the Executive in making any
such glib statement TO explain the bond
isues. The balance in the Treasury on
February /, 1891, OF all kinds OF assets,
including gold, fract ional coin, bank bal
anoes, and deposits by the national banks
to redeem circulation, was sSi, Os2, 100.
Since that date bonds have been sold,
producing, with the premiums upon
them, s1s2, 500, 600. The balance remaining
in the Treasury on November 30 last WAS
s17s, 3i7,5 ,572. 1t thus appears that at the
Ill
hand on February !, 1891, has been used
for expenses, and, in addition, "a, 152, 427 OF
the proceeds o. the bonds. Now, IL no
bonds had been sold after February /,
1894, there would have been no balance
in the Treasury. Indeed, the Treasury
would have been "shyD by Just that ~
152, i27. The balance now on hand consists
OF si3 Oil, 455 of fractional silver coin, ST.

iol,57o deposited by the national banks
to redeem retired currency, so that the ac-
tial deficiency OF revenue made good by
the proceeds of bond sales is SAL, 625, $50.
Which is why we remark that the Pres
ident of these United States has "nervo"
in trying TO make the impression that the
bond issues were never needed TO make
up for deficiency OF revenue or that there
has been "no necessity to consider that
question:
