AS time passes the magnitude OF the blum
der committed by MIR. Gage in issuing war
loan OF $500 900 900 becomes more and more
apparent, for the result has been TO pile up
huge surplus in the treasury, TO the
great Inconvenience OF the business inter-
ests Of the country. We are astonished 10
find in so able a paper as the New York
journal Of Commerce the following remark
able defense of the secretary's action:
The treasury has the same resource for
returning TO circulation funds locked up in
its vaults that has been used several times
in the past by administrations OF both DO
litical parties. 1t can go into the open
market and buy bonds. IL did this on a
large scale under the first Cleveland and
under the Harrison administration, and
matured bonds having been redeemed and
the reynoues remaining very much above
the expenses OF the government In the
present case the government made adequate
but by no means excessive preparations for
the cost OF a war which no one was Justified
in assuming would last less than six months
and which the government had no right to
assume would last less than year. Not

maintaining unimpaired the gold reserve
not az 500, 900, 600 which has come TO be
regarded as danger line, but at a point n
good deal above this. so that there would
be as nearly as possible perfect safety. In
consequence OF this currency factor the
treasury could not pay out freely OF the
funde on hand, only repleuishing them when
they were near exhaustion; II had to keen
a large quantity OF gold on hand and take

The accounts we have of the part or
Asia which is generally known as Farther
India are IN the main far from being up

there will be any which will prove more

ONCE He WAS IN BUTTE
Marquis De Mores and His Career
Part of Local History.
THE STORY OF HIS DEATH
A Prominent Cattle Mar OF Dakota,
Where he Got Into a Series OF
scrspes-The Plot to As
sassinate Him

The celebrated Marquis De Mores was
once a guest in Butte and he had al
through Montana hundreds Of a~Cquaiut-
ances formed at the time he raised cat
tie in Dakota. In his life he killed a
number of men and for one killing he
was tried for murder at Bismarck, but
escaped after a famous trial.
Meager news Of the death Of the mar
outs has been recently received here,
but an account Of his killing, as pub
lished by the Helena Independent from
the Tunis correspondent Of lie Temps,
will be read with interest:
1T appears from the story OF the Tu-
mis- correspondent, 10 whom the facts
were related by a native witness Of the
murder. that hardly had De Mores, with
his escort, crossed the frontier before
Ali Smerli, who had been engaged 10y
him in Tunis as a guide, wrote TO a doZ-
en- Of his tribesmen TO meet him at FL
Ouatia, some distance along the route,
on a fixed date. When De Mores reach
ed there, he met with a party of a
Touaregs, who were warmly welcomed
by him, given food and engaged by De
Mores to bring him 10 their chief, with
whom he wished TO consult. The Toua-
regis advised De Mores TO send away his
native escort, as they said the members
of II were only waiting for a chance 10
betray him. Unfortunately for him, De
Mores followed their advice and only
kept two A~lgerians. But he took even
the rifles from them and gave them 10
two of the Touaregs. on the same even
ing, the men to whom De Mores' guide
had written arrived. but the Touaregs
drove them away.
THE chief of the Touaregs wrote hen
20 a dignitary of the tribe, informing
him OF the presence Of a rich French
man, who wanted TO be conducted to
the supreme chief of the Touaregs. He
was informed that the Frenchman could
not be permitted TO enter the town in
which the supreme chief lived. On the
other hand. two other TouareE chiefs
wrote TO the chief of the band with
which De Mores was, ordering him 10
conduct De Mores before the grand chief,
Guedazen. But before this letter ar
rived, a party Of Chaambas fell in with
the De Mores party and in the night Il
was proposed by one Of them that they
murder DE Mores and take his property.
The Touaregs objected for a time. hut
their objections were answered by the
Chaambas in this wise: You people do
not know the Frenchmen, but we
Chaambas know them and know what
they do. As soon as one Of them gets
into a country. he draws a map Of II
and after that an army will come and
take the towns. II you want the French

AND THE PARROT LIVES.
Tom Merritt Goes to st. Louis to Buy n
Talking Bird.

General Merritt has a brother in
southern Illinois who is one of the best
democratic politicians in the state. He
has been in the legislature for many
years, and probably has a wider &C
quaintance among politicians and
newspaper men than any man in the
state. He is a great friend Of the lat
ter, and many a humorous story of his
has found it's way into print. A strik-
ing trait in Tom Merritt's character is
the delight he takes in telling stories
on himself.
Tom suffers hopelessly and extracts
great enjoyment from the embarrass-
ment he thus causes others in conve
sation. The writer is we'll acquainted
with Tom, and has listened TO many Of
his stories, but T. j.. Cookery Of SPRING

told the latest Tom has put in circula-
tion recently. just to keep his hand in,
which are the alleged facts of his eX-
perience recently in st. Louis. Not
long ago, upon going TO st. Louis upon
a business trip, Toms sister urged
hin not, on the peril of his life, to re-
turn without a talking parrot, of which
she wished TO make a pet. After hav-
ing attended to his business, and before
going to the hotel TO talk politics and
tell stories, he set about to execute the
commands of his sister. Finally, find
ing a store where there were a number
of parrots displayed for sale, he went
in and carefully looked them owe Fin
ally one clever looking, green bird
caught Toms eye. and he called the
proprietor. "S-s-say," asked Tom,
pointing out the parrot he preferred,

Grand Pacific for several years. He
tells a story in connection with Jay
Gould's first visit to Chicago. Mr.. Gould
had registered at the Grand Pacific,
and was standing in the lobby with his
hands in his coat pockets, looking like
a countryman in town.
The little millionaire approached ]. p
Vidal, who was clerk at the house, and
modestly asked him what would be the
best way for him to go to Lincoln
Park. Vidal not knowing who Gould
was, gave him the necessary instruc-
ton as to street cars, etc. Gould heard
him through and then said, But could
/ not go in carriage?"
Eyes. you an,but it is a little ex-
pensive," said Vidal.

think will try to stand the expense" "
"All right, but to whom shall l
charge the carriage?" asked the clerk.

but Gould got the carriage.-Chlcago
