GOLD RESERVE.
It's Condition at the Close of Busi.
ness Yesterday. Secretary Car
isles Reply to the Senate
Resolution of INQUIRY.

Washington. Jan. 10.
Secretary Carlisle to day sent
to the Senate his reply to a re-
solution adopted January Sd.
The Secretary says: 1.-The
Senate is respectfully Informed
that at no time since the estab-
lishment Of the so called gold re-
serve has the sum of 800, 900, OoO
or any other sum been segre-
gated or set apart from the gems
eral cash in the Treasury for the
redemption of the legal tender
notes of the United States or for
the redemption Of any other form
OF paper money for which the
United States is liable. There is
no provision of law requiring a
separate fund. or separate ac>
count to be kept, and all moneys
received into the Treasury, from
whatever source, are deposited
in the general cash. The fund
for the redemption Of United
States notes was accumulated
under authority of the Act Of
January 18th, 1875, which dir>
ected the Secretary of the Treas
ury to prepare and provide for
such redemption On the 1st day
of January. 1879. No specific
sum was prescribed, but the
Secretary of the Treasury was
authorized to use the surplus re-
venue from time to time and to
sell certain descriptions of bonds
to an extent necessary to carry
the act into full. effect.
"In the exercise of the aiscre-
ton thus conferred upon him the
Secretary sold for redemotion
purposes in 1877 and 1873 United
States 4 per cent. a per cent.
bonds to the amount of 800, $780,
900 and deposited the proceeds,
$96, 900, 900 in gold, in the gener>
al cash in the Treasury. This,
with other gold which has been
as surplus revenues,
constituted the fund prepared
and provided by the Secretary
of the Treasury for the redemp-
ton directed in the act Of jan
aury 18th, 1875.
The existence of the reserve
fund was generally recognized
from the time of it's establishment
as above stated, and one of the
measures adopted by the secre
of the treasury to prevent
its unnecessary depletion was the
.iscontinuance of the issue Of the
gold certificates authorized by
the act of March Sd, 1868. This
act authorized but did not di-
rect such issue.
Some inconvenience resulted
from this discontinuance, and by
section II of the Bank Act of
July 18th, 1882, the Secretary
authorized and directed to
receive deposits of gold coin and
bullion and to issue certificates
therefor; but it was provided that
the Secretary of the Treasury
shall suspend the issue of such
gold certificates whenever the
amount of gold coin and gold bull
lion in the Treasury reserved for
the redemption OF U. S. notes
below one hundred million
dollars"

A Race War Threatened.

Parry, Oklohama, Jan. 49,
Conservative people anticipate a
race war because of the recent
law opening schools to all races.
The school board voted recently
to suspend the school, but the
colored people swore out d writ
OF mandamus compelling them to
reopen. This was supported by
people who preferred mixed
schools or none, at all, so the
board was compelled to recon
slider its action. The schools now
contain both white and blacks,
which has created a bitter feel
ing.

rs THIS THE

Ex>Congressman Bryan, of
Nebraska, has written a letter to
Ben Tlllman III which he urges
that the Democratic fr~ee~silver
Senators combine with the Pop
ulists and agree to furnish to
the Republican Senators enough
vote to carry over the Presi-
deut's veto q bill combining the
tariff passed by the House and
the silver bill reported by the
Senate finance committee"
Mr. Bryan does not attempt to
justify the principle Of the pend
ing tariff bill or to show that it
would not be an imposition upon
the masses for the benefit of a
few favored interests. In fact
he admits that the free coinage
DILL which he proposes 10 trade
thaough would be ''bnrdened' by
tariff legislation. He cannot
mean that it would be burdened
in Congress, sor he admits that
the only possibility of passing a
free coinage bill over the Presi~
dents inevitable veto would be
by combining it with a measure
for increasing the tariff. Mr..
Bryan therefore comedies that it
would be proper for the free
silver Democrats and Populists
to assist in the work Of increas-
ing the cost of living for the
masses Of the people if at the
same time they could secure the
free coinage Of silver.
He says desperate cases
sometimes require heroic treat
ment." Mr.. Bryan's idea Of
heroism is peculiar. In his opin-
ion it would be heroic for Demo
cratic Senators to repudiate both
the pldge of their party that the
parity of gold and silver shall be
maintained and that other bardi-
nal principal of the party that
federal taxation shall be for re
venue only" In order to secure
the violation of one of these
pledges Mr.. Bryan is ready to
prove false to the other. The
first speech he made in Con-
gress. ana the only one of his
many speeches in that body of
which attracted any considerable
attention, was an arrignment of
the protective tariff. 1t has sel>
dom been denounced IN Congress
so furiously as it as by Mr.. Bry-
an. He argued that it is organ
lied robbery and hurled against
the most terrific anathemas.
The principle of the protective
is now the same that it was
when Mr.. Bryan denounced it on
the floor Of the House less than
four years ago. And yet he now
advises those who applauded his
speech on that occasion to sup
port a protective tariff bill, to
vote for what they know to be
wrong because by this sale of
and honor they may
purchase the passage Of a free
coinage bill. We have frequent>
ly alluded to the fact that the
most ardent advocates of free
coinage in Georgia are to be
found in the little coterle that
for years endeavored to lead the
Democracy of this state into the
protective tariff camp.
Dc they endorse Nh Bryan's
scheme to trade the free silver
bill through by combining with
the Populists and the Republi>
cans at the sacrifice of two of the
best established principles of the
Democratic party?

ANOTHER PEANUT COMBINE.
andmark

The members of the Old Vir>
ginia Peanut Association have
again organized, with the posi-
BILE exception of a few small faca
tions in North Carolina, the new
organization includes all the
peanut companies of any conse-
quence in the country, hence
the trade will be virtually con-
trolled by it. There are fifteen
companies represented in the
new organization, the purpose of
which is to protect the manufac-
turer, enabling him to get a price
which will pay him a profit on
his outlay. A fall in the price
of peanuts, consequent upon the
recent dis organization of the old
association was one of the reas~
ons, if not the principal one,
that caused the men to come to-.
gether again.

supreme. Hardege's orchestra again

feature of the ball was its swell effect,
the conventional dress suits Of the men

DEATH OF DR.. M. N. BARBER.
A Pioneer Physician Called to the
Heavenly Home.

Pioneer Physician Called to the
Heavenly Home.
The grim angel of Death has again
entered our midst and taken from
among us one who has long been
identified with Watertown's social and
business life. At o'clock Monday
evening, January 6, 1896, DR.. M. n.
Barber departed this life, after an ILL
ness of less than three weeks dura-
tion. Something over two weeks ago
DR.. Barber was taken with a severe
cold which confined him to his bed,
but he had convalesced sufficiently to
be about the house, and Saturday last
was enjoying a social evening with
his family and some friends, when he
received a stroke of apoplexy, from
which he never rallied, being uncon-
scious from that time until his death,
fOrty-eight hours later. The deceased
had been for many years one of our
most successful physicians, and en-
joyed the affection and esteem of all
who knew him, since he possessed in
high degree those sterling qualities
which mark a true mans worth
Both in his family and among his
friends and patients he was ever the
same genial, kind hearted companion,
and in his death his family suffer that
greatest of losses, the taking away of
a kind indulgent husband and father
Martin Neal Barber was born in
Medina, Genesee county, n. Y, in
March, 1920; he consequently lacked
but few weeks of attaining 76 years.
While quite young man he went to
La Porte, Ind, where he studied
medicine under Dr. Teagarden, with
whom he afterward went into part
nership at Racine and commenced
hepractice of medicine. He remained
in Racine from 1916 until 1848, re-
moving then to Watertown, which has
ever since been his home.
DR.. Barber was twice married, his
first wife being Miss Jane l.. Hart
well, of La Porte, Ind, to whom he
was welded in 1915 and who died in
1865. Three years later he married
his second wife, Miss Eliza S. Young,
of Warren county, n. Y, who survives
him, together with four children, two
from each marriage Mrs. j. R.
Buchanan, of Omaha, Neb. DR.. Frank

this city, and DR.. Neal Barber, of
Kaukauna.
In the practice of medicine DR.. Bar
Der belonged to the Eclectic school;
he was a member of the National
Eclectic Medical association, and was
one of the first members of the Wis
consin Eclectic society. He was also
the Oldest surviving member in the
Odd Fellows lodge of Watertown.

will be at the family home on North

Corntord for trial at the February term
Of the Jefferson county circuit court on
a charge of attempted burglary. Bail
was fixed at $500, which not being fur
nished Cornford was committed to the
county Jail. He is the young man who
was detected endeavoring to gain an
entrance to Schempf's Cash store on

Fire Department Tested.

A test of the efficiency of the citv's
fire department was made about s
O'Clock Saturday evening. Chief Nc
Laughlin sounded the alarm, the
steamers were sent to Main street
bridge and the companies ordered to
work. 1t took the Ahrens engine aud
the Anchor Hose company Just three
and One-half minutes to get to the
bridge after the alarm, the Silsby en-
CINE and the Phoenix bows arriving a
few seconds thereafter, the difference
being accounted for in the greater dis
tance Of their house from the bridge.
The Phoenix boys had stream of water
through their hose almost immediately
after their arrival, but for some reason
the Ahrens engine failed to pump and
1t was twenty inmates before it could
force any water. There is something
palpably wrong with this steamer.
Lately it has failed to perform it's work
several times. The city authorities are
investigating the matter and will en-
deavor to ascertain where the trouble
lies. Monday morning it was again
tested and this time worked satisfactor-
lily, stream being thrown in a very
few moments after starting.
