Treasurer Schmidt and the Street

Treasurer Schmidt has gained a great
deal of popularity in his efforts to protect
property holders in regard TO the payment
Of street improvement assessments. He is
bringing before the people in every pos
sibie way the opinion of Judge Brown, of
the Circuit Court. In which the court holds
that under the provisions or the Barrett
law the county treasurer has no right to
receive street improvement assessments aft
err they nave become overdue, and that the
last day Of grace Is the third Monday Of
this month. Heretofore 1t has been the
custom of a great many property owners
to wait until the assessments became de-
to fix things up. BY the opinion of the
Circuit Court delinquent property holders, if
they delay and suits are brought, will find
attorneys fees and court costs added to
that this will bring hardship on a great

they are in ignorance of this new ruling of
the court.
AS a result of this new ruling. the num-

filed during the past six weeks, has been
greater than ever before, there having been
as high as fifteen recorded in one day in

dents to organize lodges and secure sigma
lures to a petition and protest which VIII
be set forth TO Congress that there Is no
money in the United States and that the
workingmen are every day getting poorer:
that the per capita circulation Is less than
so. when IL should be $50. 1t will ask Con-
gress to pass bill authorizing the Secretary
OF the Treasury to issue 5000 ZOO OF
greenbacks and 10 coin all the silver and gold
bullion in the treasury and to grant free
coinage 10 everything and everybody. IT is
proposed to get 100000 signatures to the Pc
tifion.
The members OF the order say that Con-
gress could not resist such a large number
OF the people. If il did there would be an
other invasion of Washington by an army
one hundred times larger than that OF Coxey.
The plan for distributing the money is by

There was consensus of opinion among
naval officers in favor of the canal project.

'DANvILLE ILL.,. April 1.-W,hen the highest
court of the Presbyterian Church meets in
Saratoga, N Y, next May there is a good
prospect for lively contest on account of
the charges preferred by the home mission
airy board of New York against the Illinois
and Indiana synods. The trouble grows out
of the method pursued by the churches of
these two State in the collection and dis
bursement of home missionary funds. In
order to prepare a defense against the charge
ministers representing Illinois and Indiana
synods had a meeting behind closed doors in
the Presbyterian Church in this city last
night. Those present from Indiana were:
Dr. r. ". Hunter. of Terre Haute; Rev. Sol
s. Dickey, of Indianapolis; Rev. E. S. Scott.
of Winona; Rev. George Knox, Of Indian
apolis; Rev. F. NJ. Hayes, of Muncie; Rev.
Frank Hood, of Indianapolis; Rev. George
Beatty. of Rushville, and Rev. James Wilson,
of Charlottesville. Rev. Scott is secretary
Of the board Of directors OF the Winona AS
sembly and Summer School and DR.. Hunter
is superintendent. Rev. Dickey is superin-
tendent of home missions in Indianapolis and
Rev. Wilson is treasurer.
From the Illinois Synod were DR.. Kane, of
Bloomington; DR.. Lewis, of Joliet; DR.. John
son. OF chicago; Rev. F. A. Stoiz. of Streator;
v. ~. -.
Strong, of Bloomington; DR.. Morton, of Mat
toon; DR.. Stevenson, OF Mount Carmel; DR..
Penhallagan, of Decatur; DIR. Logan, of
Springfield; Rev. Skinner, of Morrison; Rev.
j. VI. Ross, of Kirkwood; Rev. Z. VI. Nc
Milien, of Gibson; DR.. Matthews, of Canton;
DR.. C.. M. Wilder, of Champaign, and Rev.
l. Temple, of East St. LOUIS.
The prevailing custom in the Presbyterian
Church in regard to home missions is that
the money collected by each congregation for
that purpose must be sent to the home mis-
sionary board at New York, even the money
that is used in this city. according to the
regulations, must first go to the board and
great deal of delay. In Indiana and This
State the various synods have been disburs-
ing and managing their own home missionary
funds without reference to the board in New
York, and whatever surplus remained after
local needs were met was sent to the board.
This plan, while being more efficient and
satisfactory to the synods of the two States,
deprives the board at New York of handling
the funds.
