A Profitable Use Of Surplus Funds.

Sulzer, Democratic Representative
from New York city, introduced bill
in the House on the Sth inst, which
will undoubtedly attract wide atten-
ton. By it the Secretary of the
Treasury is instructed to deposit the
surplus funds of the Treasury in Ma
tional banks having a capital stock of
$5OO,OOO and a surplus of $500, 900, on
condition Mat such banks apply for
the deposits and that they pay to the
United States interest at the rate of
two per cent. on such deposits, and
the deposit of the United States in no
case to exceed the aggregate of the
capital and surplus of the bank and to
constitute first lien on its assets.
Speaking on this subject to a re.
porter, Mr.. Sulzer said: cat the
present time few favored banks, per-
haps fourteen in number, are made
the depositaries of the surplus funds
in the Treasury. This gives to them
an unfair and prejudicial advantage
in the control of the money market.
By the provisions of my bill all of the
banks will have an opportunity to
profit by the Treasury surplus, the
government will receive interest on
its deposits and in the event of
stringent money market such deposits
will afford immediate relief. More
over. there will be nothing to fear
from the possession by the govern
ment OF surplus of any magnitude as
this measure will serve to keep the
money in circulation. for, wherever
there is a demand for money great
enough to raise the rate of interest to
three per cent. or more there will the
Treasury surplus flow"

ANOTHER CANAL PRoPosITIoN.-
Uncle Sam is certainly becoming ex-
cesding "lonR" on isthmian canal
projects. The latest proposition is
made by two New Jersey corporations
to construct canal by q new and
shorter route, OF which the govern.
ment may have free transportation of
government vessels, and construction
shall not cost the government cent.
All the corporations want is protection
and guaranty of the bonds of the
builders. The suggested route is less
than thirty miles long, and is from
the Gulf of San Blass to the Pacific
ocean, behind the Pearl Islands, and
is called the Mandigo route.

Attempts Too Heavy q Role.

The Recorder should be sure OF its
facts when it attempts to narrate
"ancient history" or it may be as far
out OF line as it is in some OF its politi.
cal assumptions. In noting the fact
that Annie Pixley, who became ia.
nous actress, was an Olympia school.
girl, it says she married bad actor
named Bob Fulford. That "Bob," as
the Recorder Familiarity dubs Robert
Fulford was q bad actor, or even q
mediocre artist, will be emphatically
denied by all who ever saw and heard
him in his great characters. The fact
is he played the despicable part oil

the actor from the man, in forming an

Then again Herbert Jeal's daughter
Linda, was born in Olympia. Jeal
kept hotel, or boarding house, many
years on site very near where the
Woodruff building now stands, long
before he established his vegetable
farm at what used to be called Jeals
ranch, this side of Dofflemyer's point.
The mother, Linda, and her twin
sister. went back to England, and it

seems improbable.
Charles Vivian. whom the garrulous
but poorly-informed historian says,

It's Sawdust Now.

The St. Louis man who wants people
to eat sand has brother benefactor in
Germany who has invented method by
which he claims to be able to utilize
sawdust as a foodstuf. In making
known his discovery to the world, he adj
vances the claim that sawdust is much
more nutritious than straw, but as the
majority of mankind have passed the
straw-eating period we fail to see the
aptness of the comparison. Herr Sac
gespaehnemacher's method may be gen.
orally accepted in the near future, how.
ever. When that time comes, we shall
see the dead walls of the world plastered
with advertisements of the Great Ger
man Sawmill company's combined kind
ling wood and breakfast food, and
cracked shoe-pegs, rolled toothpicks
and pre-digested hemlock slabs will be
as common as the various forms of cere.
ais of to-day.-Er.
The few surviving members of that
ancient order OF U. F. OF F. u, which
once had thriving lodge in this city
will remember that in the Scientific
Research Degree much inquiry was
made into the practicability of this
idea. 1t was reasoned that the mind
had much to do with the conversion
food into flesh and the assimilation oil
any form Of nutriment by the human
system. The Grand Lecturer of the
order related an experimental test, al,
legged to have been made, to spur up
incentive for investigation. Bran and
sawdust being so nearly alike to the
eye, it suggested to a brother of the
order, farmer by profession, for him
to make q trial of substitution of the
latter product for bran in the food OF
his cattle, gradually increasing the
proportion OF sawdust, until the daily
allowance, while it looked like bran,
and was food to the imagination, was
in reality plain sawdust and fraud to
the stomach.
The lecturer went on to relate that
the experimental test, worth 80 much
to the world, never eliminated in the
fattering promises held out for ulti-
mate success. The reason given was
that just as success seemed assured,
the animals died, and with them the
progress made in adapting the stom-
achs, of the brute creation ut least, to
an exceeding economic food diet.
