A BILLION DOLLAR COUNTRY.

This is a great country. There is
none other like it. AS evidence Of its
power the condition of the treasury
at the present time furnishes mute
witness. Nearly $1,250, 100000 is the
enormous sum of money which the
United States treasury has now in its
possession. This is an aggregate of
wealth never before equaled in the his
tory of this or any other country. The
exact total of the amount held by the
treasury is $1,19O,225,224. OF this
sum s796,547,0s9 is held as trust
fund for the redemption of outstand-
ing notes and certificates; the gold
coin and bullion amounting to $780,
100000, constitutes the regular reserve
fund; there is gold coin and bullion in
the general fund to the amount of
$73,399,276, or a total of $145,549, 03S,
representing all sorts of available
notes and coin and $110,143,772 in ma
tional bank repositories.
Included in this great governmental
wealth are 1894, 100000 in gold and
$493, 100000 in silver, a part of each
being bullion and the remainder coin.
The subsidiary silver coin held by the
treasury amounts to $S,7S5,S75. Frac-
tional currency and minor coin aggre-
gates more than $482,000.
1t is computed by treasury officials
that the end of the fiscal year, June 80
next, the government will have $7O,.
100000 left clear, after paying all run
ming debts.

HELD FOR RANSOM.

The case of Miss Stone, the Amer
lean missionary, who was captured on
Turkish soil by Bulgarian bandits and
now held for ransom in the enormous
sum of one hundred and ten
thousand dollars, presents some
phases that awaken not only national
but international interest. 1t is not
possible now, nor would it be desirable
to arrest the humane movements that
are in progress for her relief; the
greater part of the ransom is raised;
indeed it is possible that the whole
amount has been secured which will
ensure her liberation. But steps should
be taken by which the Turkish govern
ment first, because it can be approach
ed and persuaded by battleships, shall
refund every dollar that is thus wrung
from American citizens by highway
robbers playing upon the sympathies
of benevolent and Christian people.
The success of the Bulgarian scoun-
drels in obtaining money in such
manner would set premium on future
adventures of that kind and stimulate
other robbers to similar speculations.
To prevent such outrages in the future,
the soil on which such captures are
made should be held responsible, and
an international agreement between
the civilized and enlightened govern
ments should be arranged in some such
manner as similar alliance was eff
fected several years ago for putting
down piracy on the Barbary coast.
A government that pleads inefficien-
cy or inability to restrain such bar
barism as that to which Miss Stone
fell victim has no right to exist and
enlightened nations should take such
country'fn hands and give it such po-
| lice protection as is necessary and
compel the inhabitants to pay all the
expenses of such procedure. One OF
the brightest pages in the history of
modern England is that which tells
how British army was sent to the in
terror of Abyssinia, stormed the fortress
of Magdala and destroyed the dynasty
of King Theodorus, who was one OF
those semi-civilized potentates who
dared to imprison the English consul
England has always protected British
subjects, no matter how humble the
subject nor remote the scene of his
prosecutions.
American men and women are do
ing their duty in contributing money tc
save the life of a devoted Christian
woman, but the government has now
duty to perform in administering
punishment to the nation that is re
sponsible for such atrocities. The
United States is fully justified in de
manding indemnity for the past and
security for the future.

MUNICIPALITIES CANNOT NULL

Section 2432 and following sections
of the Iowa code provide that in cities
Of 500 or more inhabitants Tor more

conditions) upon payment of mulct
tax of 5000 annually, in quarterly in

and half for the municipality, one may

street, that the bar be in plain view
and unobstructed by screens, that
there be no chairs or seats in the
room, that no card playing, billiards

sustained an injunction shall issue re-
straining the further conduct Of the
place, ordering the destruction of the
liquor and the removal of the fixtures
from the building, and taxing $25 in
favor of the complainant.
In the Mclnnerny case from Iowa
City, as in probably all of the Iowa
! cities where the mulct law is opera
tive, the practice of the local authori-
ties in. case of violation Of the .provi-
sions of this law has been to file in
formation against the saloonkeeper in
the local police court, and, upon find
ing him guilty, to tax fine against
him under city ordinances. Upon
payment of the fine he was permitted
to resume his business as saloon.
keeper at the old stand.
The supreme court has seemingly
s decided (the opinion in full is not yet
available) that the city councils can.
not assume unto themselves the great
! powers of the state; that the saloon
keeper cannot be liable under legisla
tive acts and also under city ordi
nances where the latter conflict with
the former. That where the people
Of the state have spoken through the

proceeds of such sales would make a
general fund to improve road of
moderate but sufficient width. There
is something practical about these
suggestions. The necessity of good
roads is becoming each year more ap-
parent, as improvements are added in
all other directions.

IOWA PRESS COMMENT
Observation-Disclosures

Election Only Three Weeks Away
The state election will occur three
weeks from next Tuesday. The cam
paign was cut short, very short, by
the assassination of President McKin-
ley, therefore every republican should
do everything within his power to
bring the full party vote to the polls
in his precinct. The democrats are
making still hunt, the members of
that party always vote, and by casting
their full party vote they sometimes
win unexpected victories. That is the
danger in Iowa this year, and it is a
danger that can only be overcome by
active efforts to gain full party vote
in each precinct. The vote of Iowa
has never been more important than
this year, when a legislature is to be
elected that will elect two United
States senators and reshape the con-
gressional districts of the state. The
democrats hope to elect more than
double the number of county tickets
they elected last year, yet very little
effort is being made by the republi-
cans of those counties, and it is posi-
BILE that there will be enough mem.
bers of the party visiting in other
states, because they think their votes
will not be needed, to defeat their
county tickets! The absent voters
have been responsible for many coun.
ty defeats in Iowa, but there is still
time to see that all the republican
voters will be at home, and will vote
election day. This is important in ev-
cry county in the state. Work for a
full republican vote in your precinct

THE FISH AND GAME AssoclA
TION ~

Monday evening number Of earnest
citizens of our city pledged their time
and money to see that the state game
laws are hereafter enforced in the vi
cinity of Ottumwa. To the body of
citizens at large this may seem as an
incidental matter. yet it is matter
of much concern to the pot-hunters,
the professional fishermen, and to the
business man who occasionally desires
to throw aside the cares of the busy
world and recall his boyhood days in
pursuit of whistling Bob-White or the
wiley bass. Fish and game are the
property of the state, belonging to all
the people at large; no citizen has a
superior right to them; the legislature
has provided laws whereby they are
protected during the breeding season
and has endeavored to guard against
their determination during the open
season. The state at much expense
has provided fish hatcheries for the
cultivation of the spawn Of fish desir-
able for food; from the state hatcher
les Ottumwa within a week past was
favored with the distribution of sever
al thousand of these carefully raised
game fish, placed in the Des Moines
river to grow and multiply and in
their maturity to furnish a pleasant
days outing and food to him who pur-
sues them. These fish. were secured
from the state hatchery only after
two years of persevering effort on the
part of the state senator from Wapel.

the state fish, commissioner only on
condition that steps would be taken
to enforce the laws providing that

Tin order to protect the fish dur
ing spawning season.; that trammel
or other Illegal nets would not be
used; Z, that fish; caught under six
inches in length would be thrown
back. The local association intends
to see that these provisions are obey
ed; that quail are not shot before No
vember l, or more than twenty-five
shot in any one day by any hunter
1 The money secured, the two game
and fish wardens. appointed, and the
attorney elected by the club are al
pledged to see that the fish an6
game laws are enforced. Those who
have broken these laws heretofore
A will be wise to discontinue the prac
4 tice. Thus it is to be hoped thes'
attractive denizens of field and stream
! will be protected from the hoggisl
sportsman and saved for the common
attraction and enjoyment of all citi
zens of the city and country alike.

Japanese Run Over.

The old japanese who cleans the tracks
of the King-street car line was run over
yesterday afternoon on King street near
Bethel, by buggy driven by one Lua-
rez, who works for Waterhouse. Luarez
came from the side, and he claims he
pulled up his horse when he saw the Jap,
who was looking the other way. The
horse struck the scraper, however, and
the Jap was thrown under the wheels,
which passed over his breast. He does
not appear to be very seriously hurt
Both he and Luarez We're brought to the
police station, where a charge was made
against Luarez for needless driving.
