MIR. NcMahon's Version.

The ARGUS recently printed an arti-
sic referring to Chicago justice court
proceeding in which Mrs. p. Grady,
of this city, was the defendant, and
which was dismissed by Cook county
circuit Judge, it being alleged the bill
sued on had been paid and that the
defendant had a receipt for the same.
Richard NJ. Mcmahon, a Chicago at
torney, who was the plaintiff i'll the
suit, writes TIE ARGUS: The receipt
referred to as being in the possession
of the defendant in your article named
was obtained by Il sort of flint liam
method and represents no payment of
money, that is to say one of the
defendants sons sent n letter to Inc
saying that if | would send collector
to the place where he was employed
he would pay whatever account /
might have against his mother. So
sent the receipt referred to enclosed
in letter with an A. ID. T. messenger
boy to him. When he got HIS hands
on the receipt he kept it and refused
to pay. This fact must have been well
known to the defendant. The proceed
ing here in the chancery court was
permitted to take the course it did
simply because | decided to sue again.
There was no scoring by the court
whatever -

OPPOSE DANFORD.
Steubenville and jefferson County Repub
licans Against Him,

Special to the Register
Steubenville, o., March 31.-The op-
position of the soldier element in this
district TO Congressman Danford is
growing stronger. J. c. Ault, of the
First Q. Y. L., who resides here, has
come cut in an open letter, in which
he administers a singing rebuke to
Danford for SO ''effectually and sue
cessfully ignoring the soldier candi-
dates for post0fIices in this county"
The fifteen veteran soldiers who have
been ignored are mentioned by name,
and Danford is charged with allowing
the Republican bosses of this county
to dictate the throW-down of soldier
candidates as a part of a deal made
in the Congressional convention Of
1894 In one paragraph, Ault says:
The soldiers OF this county are morti-
fed and indignant, and nothing on
your part can condone for the mani
fest injury and insult you have forced
on them. We doubt if you could find
a Democrat in the county or any OF
the late Confederate generals any
where, if they occupied the position
you now hold, who would have been
as persistently deceptive and migrate
full as we have found you to be- The
old soldiers endorse the Ault letter,
and they are organizing to accomplish
Danfords defeat at the coming Re-
publican convention. The Danford or
gan here disposes Of the Ault letter
by intimating that Kurtz is the insti
gator Of the attack on Danford, as
Au1t ic dpputy oil ipapantOr under
Kurtz. Nearly all the soldiers here
were Hanna men. Ault claims to
have other ammunition he is getting
ready to explode, and matters are
shaping up for lively fight for Dan
ford's place. The Republican bosses
have awakened considerable antagon-
ism by trying to prevent any opposition
to Danford in this county.

CITY RECEIPTS VS.. CITY EXPENDI-
TURES.

To the Editor of the Register.
Dear Sir:-I have been thinking over
the report of the proceedings of the Fin
ance Committee, published in your paper
some two or three days since. and Won
der why the authorities of our city even
think or contemplate an increase either
in the Fire or Police Depar tments. in view
of the fact, according to your report,
which l presume is true, that the city is
short now on the estimates for the COM
ing year. That is to say, that the esti-
mated receipts will not meet the esti-
mated expenditures.
Now, are our authorities going to in
crease the expenditures when they can
not sec their way clear to pay what is
cumstances, do they need new fire appa-
ratus and hose houses, and additional
firernen, and a new lot of policemen?
Would a business man hire more help
when his expenses are in excess of his re-
ceipts? Certainly not. If he did. and
kept it up any length Of time, the Sheriff
would soon have him and his goods. The
Sheriff can't get the city, but if the city
keeps on getting in debt the people will
be soaked with additional taxes, which
will be as bad as the Sheriff getting hold
of the individual business man.
Why do our city authorities persist in
trying to spend more money than the re-
ceipts amount to-? Why do they not try
to cut down expenses? Cut off some
clerks. or cut down salaries. or do some
thing to make their expenditures within
their receipts. On the contrary, 7 see it
talked about in your paper that they want
more policemen. What for? The city is
fairly well policed. / do not see the ne
cessity of several more men in uniforms
ara helmets II ornament our street cor
rers. Policemen are very rarely around
when wanted During the whole of the
time of my residence in. the city, which
has been more than fifteen years I never
kneN>of policeman, under any admin
istratroil being very active or around
when wanted. Unless our population
comes to be very much greater, | think I
voice the sentiment of a great many of
the tax payers, when 1 say that there is
no necessity for any additional men. Let
us cut down all departments in the city.
Let the watchword of the present az
ministration be to cut down expenses
/ hope you will continue to talk the
subject of economy up, and urge those in
authority to be economical.

MONEY FOR WAR.
The New York Legislature Passed a
Bill Appropriating 100000 and
Gov. Black Signed It.

Albany, n. Y, March Ex-Governor
Black has sent to the legislature an
emergency message advising an imme-
diate appropriation of $1,000, 900 as a
contingent war fund.
Governor Blacks message says:
Events are now transporting of so
grave and general Importance that the
attention of every enlightened people
is fixed upon our own. The crisis
which our national government now
meets involves those deep consdera-
tons which affect the future of the
race. To aid that government by ap-
proval and support; to sustain its
hand when raised for justice and fair
play is the duty of every State No
hour has ever been SO full of peril that
New York has faltered while it passed.
Because of her past history and her
present greatness, she should be the
first to understand the meaning of to-
day.
After long reflection and with an
earnest desire to do that which ought
to be done. and to refrain from that
which ought not to be done, l recon-
mend that before you adjourn you take
such action as your wisdom shall de-
eide upon 10 provide against such urg-
ent needs as the future may disclose.
| hope the day is still remote which
shall consume the means you set apart.
But If the time should come when for
bearance and national self-respect can
no longer stay together, there can be
but one answer to the city thus aris-
ing. I believe you will not in haste
or anger toward any other people, but
in the deliberate purpose to defend
your own, and as a sign of hope to the
struggling and distressed. realizing
that patriotism without preparation is
as fragile as a dream, so act that the
enlightened sentiment OF the world
will justify you"

In West Virginia According to MI.
Pauls report, the West Virginia miner
fares better and is paid more FOR MS

Of the coal which goes to market from

Mr. Paul also finds that the indica-
tons are that the Pittsburg operators

Following is a synopsis Of the re-
port:
The Pittsburg district is composed
OF Two distinct classes of shippers
