GAGE AND THE BONDS.
Successful Handling of the Popular
Loan by the Treasury De-
partmcnt.

No doubt some thanks are due to
the treasury department for the sue
cess of the popular loan" idea in
connection with the new bond issue,
us disclosed by the process of the al
lotting of the securities.
To be sure, the intent of the law is
plain enough. 1t reads:
THAT the bonds authorized by this Sec
ton shall be offered at par in n popular
loan under such regulations, prescribed by
the secretary of the treasury. as will give
opportunity to the citizens ofth United
States to participate in the subscriptions
to such loan, and In allotting the said bonds
the several subscriptions Of individuals
shall be first accepted and the subscrip-
lions for the lowest amounts shall be first
allotted"
This is quite clear, but, of course,
there are two ways of obeying the
law, and that the secretary stuck
firmly to the spirit of the act instead
of contenting himself with keeping
fairly within its letter merely did
much to make the popular feature a
success.
a great many big fiscal institutions
that should have been in better bust
ness procured dummy subscriptions
in small amounts to the aggregate Of
millions. The conscientious scrutiny
of the department prevented the sue
cess of such subterfuges in many in
stances.
Some S12,000,000 of the bonds have
been delivered to over 10000
individual subscribers. Many of these
bonds, it is true. have since been sold
to banks, but the individuals got the
premium. And after making due al
lowance for such sales it still appears
that many millions of the new bonds
will go permanently into the hands Of
small investors. The treasury depart
ment has faithfully discharged its
duty to the people in their behalf

BUSY SLANDERERS.

Narrow Partisanism.

"The man who purchased the pres
idency for Mr.. Mckinley and bought
his own way into the United States
senate"
The idiot who wrote the lines which
are given above Is only one of many
who are now attacking the president,
Senator Hanna and republicans In
general.
Because Mr.. Hanna Is chairman of
the republican national committee and
is the political general who whipped
the Bryanites in 1896 he is represent
ed to be brutal money grubber, a
bride giver, and bad man in every re-
spect.
Because the president has won sur
prisingly glorious victory over Spain
he is beirg slandered east and west
by democrats and mugwumps and
blamed for conditions which are the
natural results of war.

upon the administration of President
Mckinley.
But the democrats are exaggerating
the horrors" of every camp and troop
ship and are grossly slandering the
president and his administration. They
have, at last, an issue which calls al.
OF their factions together, including
the mugwumps.
Mr., Mckinley fought the war on
broad, patriotic lines. He kept poll
tics away from the army and his coun-
ell chamber. Lee, Wheeler, Graham,
and other southern democrats were
given high commands. The president
was ar American throughout and not
at any time politician.
Instead ofCfNfying him now as they
are shamelessly doing the democrats
ought to be grateful to the president
and full of admiration for him. But
democrats are rarely anything but mar
row partisans and bigots. They will
abuse their country, smirch their own
names. trample upon what honor they
may have if they can thereby promote
the interests of their party.
II Mr.. Mckinley were n democrat
the democrats would put him above
Thomas jefferson, and if Senator
Hanna were democrat he would be

The Treasury Is strong.

Gold is getting to be almost drug
in the government market. Though it
is paid out freely at the subtreasuries,
it continues to pile up in Washington
in way that suggests to some persons
the possibility of a monetary strin-
gency. There does not yet appear,
however, to be any real danger of that,
the amount of money in circulation
seeming to be ample for all purposes,
At present the gold reserve in the
treasury is within few millions Of
the highest figures ever recorded, and
1t probably will surpass them in a
few weeks. When all the proceeds OF
the new bonds are in, the cash balance,
even allowing for continuance of dis
bursements, cannot be much below
$300,000,00o, and considerably over
two-thirds of that amount will be In
gold. II is clear that the treasuryis
In very strong condition, and there
Is nothing In particular to threaten
its strength in the near future.--Frov-

upon returning to Fort Sanders, Wyo.,
IN 1872, 1t was reported that the Ne2
Perces Indians, in the musselshell
country, were on the warPath, and an
expedition under Gems. Custer, Miles,
Terry and Crook was ordered there.
1t was during this campaign that she
received her cognomen calamity
Jane" Relating the circumstances
thereof, she said: II was serving un-
der Capt. Egar. and while near Goose
Creek (the present city of Sheridan,
Wyo), after having been on a three
days skirmish, during which the COM
pany had six men killed and several
wounded, we were ambushed about a
mile from our destination. Capt.
Egan was one of the first to be shot
during the engagement, and /, happen
ing to be in close proximity to him, no
ticeo him Keeling in his saddle. was
able to reach his side in time to pre-
vent him from falling, and, getting
him on my horse, in front of me, bore
him to camp in safety. After he had
recovered, one day he laughingly
christened me Calamity Jane, the
heroine of the plains and even to this
day l have borne that title among my
more intimate friends"
The Nez Perces were subdued in
1873, and the early portion of 1874 was
spent in various minor engagements
in Montana and Wyoming, when. in
1875, under Gen. Crook, she was or
dered to the Black Hills of South Da-
kota, to protect the miners and set
tiers in. that section, as the country
was overrun and practically con-
trolled by the Sioux Indians. After
nominal campaign in that section
lasting until 1876, they were again or
dered north to join Gems. Custer, Miles
and Terry on the Big Horn river.
During this march Mrs. Burk was
detailed as the bearer of important
dispatches, and although the trip was
one of 90 miles, the weather wet and
cold, and it necessitated swimming
the Platte river at Fort Fetterman,
she performed her duty willingly, but
at fearful cost, as she contracted
pneumonia and was confined in hos
pital for three weeks, and being too
i'll to return to her company was
granted an indefinite furlough, which
in all probability saved her life, for
the next year witnessed that fearful
massacre in which Gen. Custer and his
brave men were SO wantonly butch
cred.
Calamity Jane" next found service
in the employ of the government car
rying the United States mail between
Deadwood and Custer, Mont, and al
though the route was considered an
hazardous one, her reputa-
ton as an unerring marksman was
such that not once did she have an OPP
portunity to display her skill to either
the Sioux or highwaymen in behalf Of
Uncle Sam.
While thus engaged she was present
in Deadwood at the time William
Hickok wild BID was assassinated
by Jack Mccall, a notorious desperate,
and was n member of the posse that ar
rested and confined him in log cabin,
she having the honor of commanding
him to surrender, when cornered in
