custom house deposited it in the sub
treasury at New York where the
broker with his interest bearing bond
could draw it out and be ready to &C.
commodate the next importer of mer-
chandise that needed it, repeating
this sale to other enterprising mer-
chants who paid it in at the custom
house, for shylock to draw it out
from the sub-treasury as often as paid
in there. And this same class of men
now have a scheme to do away with
every species of legal tender money
except gold, their exclusive property.
This would compel every merchant,
farmer or business man having debts
to pay to exchange the money taken
in the course of their business or oc-
cupation, for the money of the sound
currency men of Williams street
should their creditor decline the non
legal tender money the merchant or
farmer had taken in exchange for
their goods or property. 1t is simply
q scheme on the part of these sound
money men whereby they can reap a
golden harvest in swapping dollars.
And this is all there is to the system
OF sound money which they advocate.

Construction company has agreed to
sustain s54,560 loss occasioned by the
collapse of the building. The work is
to be completed by April Is, 1896, and
extra precautions are to be made to pre-
vent any danger Of q second collapse.
The cost is to be $25o,OO0, exclusive
OF the fittings, which nre to cost $751;

tunities that are at hand to rent the
building the Chicago Exposition COM

billions, but to rent the structure to
others for various shows and exhibit
tions. For that reason the capitaliza-

from 100000 to 100000.

Now Chat the laws Of this state !,

Now that the laws of this state are
to be overhauled and changed so rad
ically, would it not be good idea for
the coming Legislature to re-enact
the old law authorizing the publica-
ton of the laws in the county news
papers7 When, as is proposed, old
established laws are to be repealed or
materially changed, or made entire
ly new, is it not due the people who
are made amenable to the laws to in.
form them as to what those laws are?
There is and always has been "a pre-
sumption of law" that lao one is ig-
norant of the law, yet the presump-
ton was arrived at under the old Gus
tom of states publishing their laws,
as was formerly done by our own
state, in local newspapers, that oil
the people might be informed as to
their duties and privileges under the
law. 1t is manifestly unjust to hold
communities amenable to laws the
provisions of which they know moth

with, will but perform q duty which
every member of the legislature owes
to his constituents. Some one will
say it will cost vast sum of money
to do this. Grant it, but will! not the
parties benefited pay the bill? Let us
have at least one expenditure of
money that will benefit all the peo-
pie. What do our readers think
about it? Would they not freely pay
their portion of the cost of putting
the laws OF the state into every house?
We make the proposition that if the
people knew more about the laws
there wonld be vastly less violation
of them, and that court costs would
be reduced to the minimum.-Alama-

Ingersoll Talks Of Cleveland.

Having seen only synopsis of
President Cleveland's message, it is
hardly possible to say whether it is
wise or foolish. Certainly he is wrong
about Cuba and the Sandwich Is.
lands, and as to the financial cues.
ton he seems to be all at sea. So far
as can see, he advises nothing, but
simply admits that we are in a bad
condition-that we must pay gold
and that We have no gold. He also
seems to think that it is Of no use to
have the income of the government
exceed the expenses, unless the in
come is in gold. This government is
perfectly solvent, the richest in the
world. 1t is in the condition of a
man who is worth 800 and owes 81,
and yet Mr.. Cleveland seems to know
of no way in which we can avoid
bankruptcy. am surprised that he
should think that any question is too
hard for him. Has he lost confidence
in himself! Is it possible that he
thinks the whole country knows more
than he does? Evidently Mr.. Cleve-
land is not we'll. If in his usual health
he would tell congress exactly what
to do. The message is a kind of
groan. He is like the boy who drove
yoke of steers with horse in the
lead. The BOY had trouble, left the
whole business, ran home and told
his father that the nigh OK had got
on the off side and the off OK on the
nigh side and the horse between them
with his head toward the wagon, and
that all of them were going to hell to-
gether.
This, according to Mr.. Cleveland,
is the condition of the country.n

UNDER a Ely Wheel.
Singular and Nearly Fatal Asylum Chos

Singular and Nearly Fatal Asylum Chosen
BY Fleeing Negro Burglar.
A burly negro named Hight was
caught robbing house the other night
on Walnut hills, ut Cincinnati, o. An
officer gave chase and the negro was
seen to enter manhole which led to
the engine house of the Johns Light
company. There was no means of
egress except either through the door
which was fastened and the manhole
which the negro had entered.
A party of officers searched the en-
tire building and q guard was left to
watch the engine room. The engine
started up early in the morning and
continued running all day. Meantime
the negro was not heard Of. In the
afternoon at o'clock the engineer was
startled by cries coming directly from
under the big wheel which had been
making more than 1000 revolutions
minute for more than eleven hours.
The space between the wheel and
the floor was just deep enough to con-
tain mans body. There the negro
had lain, not daring to move muscle.
The wheel was stopped and the negro
pulled out. He was in horrible condi-
tion and was so exhausted that he had
to be carried to the hospital.

The New York World states that in
six states of New York, New Jersey,
Maryland, Ohio, Pennsylvania and
Kentucky 100000 democrats, compar-
ed with the last presidential poll, did
not vote at the late elections. The
republican pluralities in these states
aggregate $4,000. So that the demo-
cratic stay -at-homes exceeded the re-
publican pluralities by $4,000. The
republican vote fell off $4,000 in New
York and Pennsylvania. 1t increased
92,OCO in the other four states. In as
signing cause it says: Is it not
probable that the extraordinary bond
sale to Wall street and London syn-
dictate, increasing the public debt and
giving enormous profits to the brok-
ers, had something to do with the
discomfort away from the money cen
tres? Would it be strange if the fact
that two corporation lawyers as at
torney- general in the cabinet have
made no real effort to enforce the
antitrust laws, but that one of them
instead sneered the congress that
passed these laws cooled the ardor

Much comment is being made in
Paris and at the fashionable French
watering places, says the Boston
Transcript, over the extravaganza of
young Count Boni de Castellane, who,
since taking up his residence in the
French capital after marriage with Miss
Anna Gould, has already spent no less
than 100000 francs in the purchase of
bric-a-brac alone. This does not In
clude the lavish subscriptions to all
those popular funds soi-distant in be-
half of charity, but which the Partisan
newspapers organize for the purpose
of advertising and booming their cir
culation, nor yet the sums which he has
dropped at cards and on the race course.
When, in addition to this, it is taken
into consideration that he has pur-
chased, without even making an at
tempt to discuss terms, several plats Of
land in the most valuable quarter Of
Paris, and that he is about to erect
thereon, regardless of expense, mod
ern reproduction of Queen Antoinette's
Trianon, 1t must be confessed that the
young French nobleman is making the
Gould dollars fly at a rate which would
have considerably startled the thrifty
creator of the immense Gould fortuna

What Ais The M,liers.

The Register, commenting on the
fact that Iowa is building fewer mills
than she loses by fire or suspension,
says there is something wrong or un.
explainable about the stagnated mill
ing industry of Iowa."
There is something wrong but it is
not unexplainable.
Iowa's Touring mills are getting the
same dose as Iowa slaughter houses.
The milling monopolists of Mime
sofa get their milling done in transit
at one rate for the shipment from the
wheat field to the large markets.
while Iowa millers pay two rates, and
each larger than the monopolists' one.
The state by putting in fair local
rates has alleviated the malady, but
congress has done nothing to cure it.

There are many good citizens of this

that this is one of the times in the a..

\ AUTOMATIC WAGONS.
A Contract for Five Hundred Deliver,
Wagons Made,

ss.SNAA"
An enterprising business establish
ment in New York has lost no time ir
testing the practical usefulness of the
latest French fad, the horseless car
riage. The wagon is IN automatic
petroleum vehicle, using rectified pc
troleum of 700 degrees. The motor
works horizontally. The wagon, fitted
with series Of sproclket wheels and
chains, is guided by a crank and
checked by three brakes. 1t can be
stopped or started instantly. On q
good road it runs about Is miles
an hour, ut q cost of less than cent q
mile. 1t climbs easily 10 to 12 per
cent. grades, and has gone up a
short grade of 30 per cent. The object
OF the dry goods firm which tested
the wagon was to see how far it could
be utilized for delivery purposes, for
which 1000 similar vehicles are used in
Paris. The wagon, which is capable Of
carrying 1890 pounds, rolled away
easily with its full load at the touch of
the drivers lever, which was handled by
the inventor on the box. There was
scarcely any noise, save n regular
pumping sound, that could not be heard
10 feet away. The wagon ran well on
cobble stones and took the inclines
with great ease. The reservoir holds
enough petroleum for run of rs miles.
AS the exploding of the petroleum is
done by means of an electric spark,
there is no danger of fire. No special
knowledge is needed for the operation
OF the vehicle and one man can work
both the brake and the driving lever.
The test WIS so satisfactory that the
900 delivery wagons used by the firm
which organized it are to be replaced by
automatic petroleum wagons. Whether
the new machines can be domesticntcd
In a city paved as New York is, for
the most part with more or less irregu-
lar stone blocks, is question yet to
be answered. Paris, like Washington,
Is chiefly paved with asphalt. I'm
favorable as such a surface is to
horses, to the horseless carriage it is
ideal, and hence the extent of the
present Partisan craze for horseless
vehicles is not surprising.

Director Preston's Complaint.

In his recent report. Director Pres
ton, of the United States mint, takes
occasion to criticise the recent finan-
cial legislation of the United States
as ''incoherent, inconsistent, illogical
and expensive" The News agrees
with Mr.. Preston's foundations,
although perhaps from entirely diff
erent reasons. 1t is only fair to state,
however, that the blame does not
wholly rest on the shoulders of con-
gress. The rulings of the treasury de.
partment are quite as much at fault
as is the action of the legislative
body.
The director of the mint calls at
tention to the fact that when the gold
reserve was placed at 800, 600, 900,
there were only $S46, 900, 900 of green
backs standing against it, whereas
now, including greenbacks. silver GER
tificates and treasury notes, there are
$62l, 229,532 of paper resting on the
basis of the gold reserve of 500 OOO,-
OOO.n
Director Preston knows, or ought
to know, that this vast volume of pa.
per rests on the gold reserve only by
reason of the rulings OF various sec
retalies of the treasury. Every dol.
laa OF the currency is redeemable in
coin, and coin means either gold or
silver. The act providing for the
treasury notes of 1890, issued in pay
lnent of silver bullion purchased, ex-
pressly enacts that they shall be re-
deemed in gold or silver coin; yet the
treasury department has persistently
ignored both the letter and spirit of
the law, and will redeem them in gold
only. Hence the additional burden
placed upon the gold reserve.
The attention of Director Preston
is invited to this fact. If the act
authorizing the issue of this paper
money was obeyed by the treasury
department, and silver as we'll as gold
paid out on demand, there would be
an immediate relief of the pressure on
the gold reserve. This The News for
years has demanded at the hands of
secretaries of the treasury, and this is
the real cause of the trouble of the
treasury department. The solution
is an easy one. Let silver be recog-
nized, and the coin basis of the cur
rency will be more than doubled
