1T WAS RIGHT.
{ Springfield Republican. \

The action of the House at Washington
in refusing to appropriate money for the
support of seotarian institutions was
wholly right, and should establish pre-
cedent never to be departed FROM Govern
ment funds are only legitimately expend-
ed for public purposes through public
officials, and it is misuse of such funds
to allow them to be used, directly or in
directly, to aid in tire propaganda of any
sectarian beliefs, which inevitably is the
case when public money is given to edu-
cational or philanthropic institutions
under sectarian control

Ex-President Harrison has at length
announced over his own signature that
he cannot consent to the use of his name
as candidate in the ST. Louis conven-
tion. 1t is not likely that he would have
stood the ghost of a show any way, but
still it simplifies matters little to have
faint possibilities rubbed out.

not sufficient reason for doing SO. The

Locked up in his safe, well know citi-
zen of Dexter has ''sparkler'' which
he has not worn for some years. The
stone has something of history and for
this reason perhaps the owner thinks
more of it. Years ago he was in Paris
and came near losing this diamond. He
was out for q walk one night and party
of street musicians had become the center
of attraction FOR large crowd. The
music was fine and the Dexter man
mingled with the others whose interest
had been provoked. Suddenly he felt
somthing touch his chin, aud inadver-
tently his hand sought his shirt front
and he discovered that his diamond was
missing. AT his right stood two men,
apparently as much engIossed in the
performance of the musicians as he had
been, both well dressed and to all appear
anoe men of culture and refinement.
Without stopping to consider the conse-
quence he grabbed the nearest one by the
arm saying, "I've lost my diamond, you
have got it," The man started, uttered
something in French; the Dexter man
gave another yank on his ARM and in
trifle louder tone said, "you have it and
l want it. There was an air of convic-
tion in the tone used, if not in the Ian
Quage, for the Parisian''s hand sought
his pocket and the diamond was pro-
duce and handed back.

The Kansas Farmer calls attention
to an instructive compilation of facts
and comparisons which recently sp-
pesred in the Cincinnati Price Current,
showing the decline OF values of four.
teen articles In common use among the
people. The articles enumerated are:
Corn, wheat, wheat flour, cotton,
leather, mineral oils, bacon and hams,
lard, pork (Salted), beef (sslted), but
ter, cheese, sugar and tobacco.
All of these articles are exported In
large quantities, and In the table pre-
sented by the Price Current the aver
age export prices are given for each
during every one Of the twenty-six
years beginning with 1871 and ending
with 1896. 1t is the fiscal yesr-end-
ing June 30-thst is meant.
After presenting a table showing the
average export price for each article
for every year, q mean average for all
for each year is then struck, and these
yearly averages are then presented
starting In 1871 with 100 as the average
price for that year. The following
table shows the result:

The KGnSaS Farmer, commenting
on these figures, says:

II is scarcely necessary 10 view Of the long
continued and great reduction in the value Of

clines in price or why the fArmer-the aver

NO GOVERNMENT OBLIGATIONS PAYABLE

NO GOVERNMENT OBLIGATIONS PAYABLE

The fact that the government OF the
United States has never promised to
pay gold on any obligation (other than

been receiVed) cannot be too fire.
quently stated, because the gold stand
ard people insist that all our public
obligations are payable in gold. The
only instances In our whole history as
q nation, where an obligation to pay
gold was incurred, were those where
gold had been deposited and certi6-
cate issued upon it. In cases where
the deposit was made for safe keeping,
there the law required that the coin or
bars be kept for the depositOr when
he should call for it. In such cases
gold certificate issued, and when 1t
was returned, the identical coin or
bars which he had deposited was de-
llVered to him again. The act of
March, 1863, provided for this kind of
deposits. Section 5 contains the fol-
lowing words:
That the Secretary Of the Treasury Is
hereby authorized to receive deposits OF gold
coin and bullion with the Treasurer or any
Assistant Treasurer OF the United States In
sums not less than twenty dollars, and to
issue certificates therefor, in denominations
ofnOt less than twenty dollars each, CORE
spending with the denominations OF United
States notes. The coin and bullion deposited
for or representing the certificates Of deposit
shall be retained in the treasury for the pay
ment Of the sums on demand.
The form Of the certificate that
issued under that act was this:
Itis hereby certified that .... dollars have
been deposited with the Assistant Treasurer
of the United States payable in gold at his
office, to the order OF ..,.,.......
..........,,....,
............, Register Of the Treasury.
Assistant Treasurer, N. Y.
The following Is the form Of q gold
note issued under authority of the act
Of July IL, 1882:

tied In the treasury Of the United States
twenty dollars in gold coin Eepayable to the
bearer on demand .....,........s,

Similar certificates were issued under
the same Sct, payable to order.
But no United States bond was ever
issued expressly made payable In gold;
nor was ever any government note so
payable In gold except only In cases
where gold coin or bullion had been
previously deposited, and In all such
cases, the notes or certificates were
Issued because and only because OF
such deposit.
There is not bond or note now out
that is made payable in gold, except
gold certificates. Every such obligation
Is payable In COIN so expressly stated

Washington. April 19.-The proceed
ings In the senate tomorrow probably
viii open with a contest for right OF
way between the appropriations COM
mittee and the friends OF the PETER
resolution for an investigation Of the
recent bond sales. and upon the result
of this will depend largely the line of
procedure for the remainder of the
week. Senator Pettigrew. who is in
charge Of the Indian appropriation bill
which has been only partially consid-
cred, will make an effort TO get the bill
up Immediately after the disposal of
the routine business of the morning
hour. and IL objection is made. will ask
that the senate decide by vote whether
to proceed with the Indian bill He
says the bill already has been held
back week for the accommodation OF
other measures aud that he will not
consent to further postponement ex-
cept upon the order OF the senate itself.
Senator PETER is anxious not to an
tagonize the appropriation bills but he
thinks the debate on the bond investi-
cation resolution could be concluded in
another day or two. He has not vet
decided whether he will yield TO the
entreaties OF the appropriations COM

the numbers of Matabeles around Bu-
luwayo are threatening that place. and
continue to increase so they now form
a formidable force. As a measure of
defense against TIE expected attack up
on that town, dynamite mines have
been laid In the outskirts of the town
and In the ground over which an at
tacking party would necessarily ap-
proach. These mines have been wired
and connected with instruments in the

OF retreat In case of attack. From the
central laager the ground in which the
mines have been laid is In full view,
and the mines can be exploded by cleo
tTicity at the moment required.

committee, is determined to push
through the general deficiency bill, the

moment. and as appropriation bills are
privileged he can be kept only by
vote of the house. As the powers in
control are desirous of furthering
everything looking to an early adjourn
ment, they are in full sympathy with
this purpose. He does not expect the
deficiency bill to consume more than a
day, two days at most. Pickler, chair
man of the committee on invalid PEN

purpose to bring In the general pension

he intends to press IL at every opportu-
