wild Talk of the Presidential Cam
didate On the Financial Issue.
1t is not pleasant to find a candidate
for president of the United States talk
ing as foolishly or dishonesty as Mr.
Bryan talked at Monet, Mo-:
THE Republicans are now boasting
that we have reached a point where
we can loan money to people in other
countries. want to ask you whether
you regard that as an evidence of pros
perity. Why would any man send his
money to Europe for investment If he
could find place in this country to
invest it? Money sent abroad for in
vestment must be sent for one of two
reasons, either because the man who
sends the money over there thinks
more of the people over there than he
does of the people here, and does it for
love and devotion, or because It is a
matter Of business, that is, because he
can invest 1t to better advantage in a
European country than he can in this
country"
MIR. Bryan either knows or does not
know" says the New York Sun. that
the country has accumulated so much
money under that financial system
which he is trying to break down that
it has money to lend at a low rate Of
interest to the rest of the world. He
either knows or does not know that
a low rate of inerest is good for the
country In general, especially for that
debtor class" for which he shows 50
much concern. He either knows or
does not know that a country which is
able to lend must be prosperous. He
either knows or does not know that the
big slice of the German loan taken by
life insurance company represents in
large measure the savings of many
men in moderate circumstances.
IF he does not know these things,
he is too big fool to be president. 1t
he does, and yet talks as he talked at
Monett, he is too dishonest to be presi-
dent"

During the administration Of Presi-

changes have taken place In the gen.
eral estimate put by the Orient upon
the United States of America, says ].
Sloat Fassett, the distinguished New
York Republican leader.
Previous to 1896 there was prevalent
only a vague notion of our wealth and
our power as a nation. 1t was general
ly understood that we were great
money makers, manufacturers and
traders; that We had small and in
efficient army and a small and untried
navy. Compared with the military and
naval strength and display of European
nations, and compared with the diplo-
matte equipment of these nations, the
United States suffered in the minds Of
most Orientals, who are profoundly i'm
pressible by the outward and SNOWY
demonstrations of wealth and power
and the disposition and ability to use
them.

AN ENORMOUS BALANCE.

Fourth-There was at the close of
business today a balance of $685.
Gill in the state treasury available
for current bills.
Fifth think II can be safely esti-
mated that there will be a balance in
the state treasury at the end OF the
present fiscal year of not less than S2,-
100000 over and above any sums that
may be then due.
The present satisfactory condition OF
the treasury is also partly due to the
executive vetoes and reductions of the
appropriations of the legislature of '99,

Respectfully yours,
JAMES e. BARNETT,
State Treasurer.
Upon receipt of the above Governor
Stone sent the following congratula-
tory letter to Col. Barnett, under date
of Sept. Il:
Replying TO your communication of
the 1lth inst, | desire to congratulate
you and the people Of the state on the
splendid condition of the treasury.
"In the statement of my reasons for
reducing the appropriation to the COM
mon schools from S11 100000 to slO,-
100000, l said:
If a large deficit did not already
exist in our treasury on account Of
these appropriations and If the an
ticipated revenues Of the state would
Justify their continuance | should most
cheerfully give my approval to this
section OF the general appropriation
bill
AT that time the legislature had ap-
propriated all of the estimated revenue
for the years 1899 and 1900 and there
was deficit In the treasury of about
three millions of dollars. After maxi
ing all the reductions in other appro-
priations that justice would warrant,
I felt constrained to reduce the school
appropriation one million dollars for
the two years to partially liquidate the
deficit in the treasury and maintain
the credit of the state.
Owing to the great prosperity of our
people and the activity of the auditor
general and attorney general in maxi
ing collections our revenue has greatly
increased. The deficit in the treasury
has been fully paid and there will be
sufficient funds to warrant the pay
ment to the school districts of the mil
lion dollars withheld from them in the
last general appropriation bill, and II
the legislature which meets January
next shall pass a deficiency bill ap-
propriating the one million dollars to
the school districts for the years 1899
and 1900, I will cheerfully give it my
approval. 1t is my intention to recon-
mend this in my message.
Very truly yours,
WILLIAM A. STONE.

THIRTY TONS OF PENNIES
This Was the Weight of the Savings
Deposited by school Children
Last Year in Chicneo.

Chicago's Penny Savings society has
only been established for a yew years,
but its deposits have been as follows:
Year ending June 30, 1898. .$19, lao
Year ending June 30, 1899. ..... SS,960
Year ending June 80, 1900. ..... 1873
William c. Hollister, who is acting
president of the Chicago Penny Saw
ings society, says that 1t is operated
entirely on philanthrOpic basis and
supported by voluntary contributions.
There are only two salaried officers.
young ladies, at the Office IN the
Schiller building.
The system is in operation only in
half the schools in Chicago. yet the
amount of money deposited by the
children last year averaged 80 cents
for every child in the Chicago school
district, and 60 cents per capita for all
the children in the schools in which
the Penny Savings society is operated.
The weight of last years savings
was 80 tons Of American pennies. an
enormous mass Of money for the little
ones to put in the banks within one
year
1t will be noticed that the increase
between the amount deposited in 1898
and 1893 was 20 per cent But between
1899 and the year just ended the in
crease in the amount of pennies de-
posted was considerably more than
100 per cent
The children would certainly not be
able to save their pennies if their
parents did not have the money to
give them, and the exhibit made by
the Chicago Penny Savings society is
certainly a straw showing that the
people of Chicago have experienced
more and more good times and pros
perity during the Republican admins
tratiOn Of President Mckinley.

CONTRACT ALTERED.
County Board Rectifies Errors
in it's Minutes.
Messrs. WeIman and Fleener Consent (,
Changes that make their Contract
Like the Original.

The county board finished it's bust
ness yesterday afternoon and adjourned.
Before doing so, it voted to change the
minutes of the meeting Of May 18th last
so as to make the contract entered into
with G. w. Welman at that time read
in accordance with the memory
of the members of the board. It
has been known for several days that
when the board adopted the contract it
did so only after County Attorney
Hughes had gone over it and inTerlined
several changes in the printed form
The chairman and Mr.. Welman had
previously signed the printed form, and
when the papers were turned over to
Auditor Gunders to record, the wrong
contracts were handed him, and the
interlined contracts disappeared, nc
one knows where Every member OF
the board recollected the interlineations
when their attention was called to the
matter last week, and Mr.. Welman re
membered it when County Attorney
Hughes spoke to him. Mr.. Welman
and Mr.. Fleener both agreed to allow
the changes to be made on the.minutes
and there was never at any time any
contention over the matter,
The changes made in the contract
are first that the tax ferrets are to re
ceive one-half of the tax collections re-
ceived in the county treasury during
one year from May 18th last; second
that the bills due the experts must be
allowed by the county board and lay
oyer thirty days in the ordinary way;
and, that all expenses of litigation arts.
ing under the contract are to be paid
by Mr.. Wellman, The vote on making
these changes in the minutes was
unanimous.
The committee on county hospital
presented no report, and the negoti a.
lions are considered to have fallen
through, 80 far as Tourtellotte hospital
is concerned.
81. F. Day, of Amboy, secured the
contract for rip rapping the approaches
to the Shelby bridge, at $11.25 cord.
Several applications for abatement of
taxes were acted upon, some being sent
to the state auditor for his approval.

ing fixed at 81 80.

PRISONERS DISCHARGED.
Grand Jury Clears up Everything But
the ALLEGED Gamblers Case.

The grand jury is still at work, al
though it has disposed of all of the par
ties that were bound over to it, finding
no indictments against any of them.
The time of the jury has been occupied
in getting testimony in regard to Ger :
tain North Front street party who is
accused of running gambling room on
a second floor. From the evidence
already believed to have been taken in
this case, it is judged that the jury has
nearly made up its mind to return an
indictment. 1t is said that after listen
ing to the testimony of many of the
witnesses the jurors were astonished at
the large evening attendance at the Y.
Y. M. G. A. rooms. They had not pre-
viously suspected that there was such
lot of good people in town.
Last evening before court took re
cess, August johnson, Alfred Stelze1
and VIM. Webster were discharged
from custody, no indictments having
been found against them. The first
named was charged with having shot g
hunting dog, but it developed that his
brother did the shooting. A sister
came running into the house and saii
that strange dog was driving the
chickens out of the coop and chasing
them, as the family had had trouble o.
this kind before, Mr.. Johnson took {
gun and shot the dog. The hunters
were not in sight at the time. 1t is no
likely that he will be indicted. VIM
Welsh did not show up to testify agains
Stelzer and Webster.
Some of the members of the grant
jury went out to the poor farm thi
afternoon. The jury does not expect tt
adjourn before tomorrow.
There are now no prisoners in thu
county Jail from this county, and only
two there, these being from Watonwal
county. There are no criminal case
awaiting trial. 1t has been long tim
since like condition has existed.
