lsuYin1 Its Own ROndS.

The offer of the government to pur
chase $4,000, 600 of bonds out of the
surplus in the treasury did not meet
with the rapid response which would
have been the ease had there been any
great stringency in the money market.
The chief part of the cry was from the
men on the New York Stock Exchange.
The banks asked a higher interest rate
for loans to stock brokers, and hence
the shout for government help. The
Wall street appeal would have been
disregarded, but some large industrial
firms complained that they had to pay
too high rate of interest on money
borrowed to pay employees, etc., and
this induced the President to order the
purchase of bonds.
The government can we'll afford to
buy that amount of its own bonds,
which will be Cancelled and retired. 1t
has the money in the treasury, with
no other use for it. The government
will save 50, 500.0 900 on the deal. which
is tidy little sum to make by one
stroke of the pen.-Toledo Blade.

The Jail officers were examined this
morning and the afternoon was taken
up with the Moore assa ssination case.

faction that brought about the tragedy
