the APPEAL and News saws it is none

But to be serious, the Independent
believes that it is the business OF the
people Of the State to know why the
gold paid by them into the State
Treasury was converted into Silver of
the '93 mintace, if such a conversion
really took place as is charged on re-
sponsible authority. Did it go to the
Mint to make good the shortage Of
gold in that Institution during the
year 1898? If so. an investigation Of
the matter might throw a strong light

WORK.

\ reporter Of the World interviewed
Grover Cleveland, then resting be-
tween acts as President, and the inter
view was published, larded here and
there with al oath or two. Cleveland
vehemeutly denied the language. and
demanded the discharge Of the inter
viewer, and the managing editor of
the World had the ~unspeakable mean
ness and c~owardice to dismiss the re-
porter without making n investiga-
ion. The repOrter-one Of the most
Trustworthy and responsible men in
all New York-immediately went be
lore a Notary Public, swore to the
truth OF the interview, narrated far
worse profanity on the part Of Cleve-
lane than had been published, and
had his affidavit printed in a New
York paper. Subsequent developments
corroborated the reporter in every par
%ticular, and yet the President of the
United States-who had branded this
man as a liar-has never had the
manhood and iecency to acknowledge
the wrong done; neither has the
World had the pluck to condemn
Cleveland as he should be condemned.
and to reward its honest and faithful
reporter.-Sac. Bee.
1t has always been the rule in large
city papers for the paper to pitch the
reporter overheard whenever a oues-
ton OF veracity arises between a re-
porter and a wealthy patron. No won
der the men working on such papers
become wholly irresponsible.

Moscow Farmers Bank Failure.

Moscow, Jan. The closing OF the
doors OF tho Farmers bank Yesterday
has aroused little excitement here, save
as regards It's effect on the city's tinan-
ces. L. +. Williams, the cashier OF the
bank, WIS the city treasurer. His last
report presented TO the council vas for
October, submitted at the December
meeting. This showed about $4,000
on hand, though Williams claimed he
had redeemed warrants enough to bring
the amount down to some $4,000. With
in the past week or Ten days the county
assessor has paid in nearly $4,000 OF this
years taxes, making to tai amount due
the city, 50 Treasurer Williams informed
the Spokesman Review correspondent,
after the amount paid for the warrants
IS deducted, of over $4,000. When the
bank officials learned Yesterday that an
attachment would be placed on the bank,
they went out and paid all the depos-
itors they could find with the money on
hand. This leaves the city 10 a decid-
edlv unfortunate post on. Williams
decided the bank block in trust to Mayor
McCartor, for the city's benefit. s. s.
Denning, TIE acting city attorney, re-
CARDS the deed as OF no value, not hav
ing the sanction OF the board OF direc-
tors. A meeting of the council. will be
called today to see what action can be
taken in the matter.
The statements with reference to the
action of the Portland bank in bringing
matters to crisis are very conflicting.
The bank represen tatives state that
they had been putting mp their bost
collateral to secure the notes tone for
SO. 900 and the other for $1,000, with in
terest) and when the smaller note wa
presented yesterday for immediate pay
ment, they acted in the only way left
open to them.
w. H. Winfree, the representative
OF the Portland bank, says that that the
larger note would have been extended
for II months, If properly secured, pro-
vided the smaller note was paid. As no
effort was made to do SO, but rather In
the way of avoiding the payment, he
felt obliged to act as he did.

The blackmailers who take delight in
venting their spleen on the agricultural
college and It's management have so mis-
represented things to II. r. Clayton, the
editor of the Seattle Republican, that
an article appeared in he last issue of
The Republican which was a reprint so
far is sentiment goes, of the Heston
article that appeared in the Telegraph
some time ago. II Mr.. Clayton, who
has the name of being very fair minded
honorable gentleman, will take the pains
to look over the college catalogue he
will see that the college is prepared to
teach any branch, whether it be the
"three RS" or the highest scientific
branches, and that the institution is Just
what Its name implies, an agricultural
college and school of science" The
newspapers OF the state should inform
themselves on the subject before they
break out in TRADE against any public
institution.

Tax Relief.

Olympia has tax relief association
that holds meetings and discusses mat
ters looking toward a radical change in
the present system of taxation. The
a ISOLATION suggests that reasonable linn
its be set upon public Indebtedness and
these limits be enforced; that "the noun
tain OF warrant indebtedness" be re-
duced as far as possible by the collec-
ton of back taxes and the balance be
funded in low rate bonds; that penalties
and interest on delinquent taxes be re-
mitted, and the taxes of 1891 be scaled
10 per cent; that warrants be receivable
IL payment of taxes due the municipality
that issued them and the "debt making
bodies" be reduced FROM three to one
and that existing laws be simplifed, and
unnecessary expenses cut off.
The taxpay ers generally over the state
are taking a marked interest in forth
coming financial legislation at Olympia.
There will be plenty of bills introduced
with the design of meeting this expec-
tation on the part of the people. There
will be good, bad and Indifferent bills
none probably so good that they can not
be made better by wise consultation and
debate, and none so bad that some
thing valuable NAV not be taken from
them. The levsl-headed legislator will
be IN demand, to sitt, prune and perfect
the measures which will be sure 10 pour

mittees. -RevieM.
