Alderman Kohhauff moved that the ma.

Alderman Street, that the minority re-
port be adopted

the Mayor that the hackmen desired TO be
heard, through counsel. and Mr., j. v
Meek addressed the council. He prefaced
by saying that cities have au undouhted

Historic Document Which Shows That the State Was Sold by In~
 dians for Rum, Guns, Etc.

Carefully locked away in one of the freproof safes of the New Jersey His torical society there now are two valu- able documents that tell of the early colonization of the state, says the New York Times.
 The first is 6 deed on parchment from Charles IT. to his brother James, Gaike of York, afterward king of Eng land, giving him a grant of all lands from the St. Lawrence river to Chesa- peake bay. The only two names on the grant that Americans of to-day would recognize are Nantucket and Cape Cod, which are spelled as they are to-day. Whe St. Lawrence river is designated as "The Great River in Canada"
 The deed is beautifully written in Gothic lettering, and the document is m excellent condition. Under each line of writing is ruling of red, evil gently done with a quill The parch- ment is over two feet in length, and to the bottom is attached what was once a large seal of wax.
 Gold and silver cords are fastened to the seal. In an upper left-hand cor ner IS an engraving of Charles IT., and the borders of the deed are filled with pen and ink designs, delicate and beau tfful. The document is dated from Westminster in the seventeenth year of King Charles reign. While the deed IS apparently the original, for the amount of work expended on it would not be given to a copy, no signatures appear, and apparently none was ever placed on it.

"The democratic party on the other hand tells you this," said Chairman Walsh in his introductory speech yes terday, that if you place us in powe. we pledge ourselves to do all that we can to relieve this artificial support, which is the vitality, the life of the monopolistic trusts in this country, and we pledge ourselves to revise that tariff, and to do so without the aid of an X-rays machine, relying entirely upon the. ability and good sense which our creator has entrusted us with. I believe that when we place in nomina, tion in this convention congressman at-large who will represent those prin ciples which have laid down to you. as the principles of democracy, he will obtain a support that will land him in Washington to advocate those princi- pies in your behalf"

 Nearly all of the schools and colleges have opened for the new. year, and a considerable proportion of the young men in all the institutions are earnestly engaged in study of the great fall game of football.

In his speeches dealing with the trust question, the president constantly
 expresses the fear that in applying 8 remedy for the trusts, we will hurt the dear creatures. He ouwld let them go on in their career of criminal combina- tion in restraint of trade, he would permit them to continue their crilm- inal extortion from the American con- sumer, he would let them go unpun- ished, for these things which are, ac- cording to the laws of the land, crimes, rather than hurt the feelings of one of them. He would give them soothing syrup, where they need a physic; he would rock them to sleep where they need a spanking, all be- cause it would hurt him politically to do otherwise. When the trusts con trol the markets of the country; when they can and do fix arbitrary prices for the things the American people must buy; when they continue their criminal operations in open defiance of the law, is it not time to use heroic remedies? Do we refuse to hang the murderer because it would hurt his feelings? Do we refuse to punish the thief because he has some good traits? The time has come when we must curb the trusts, or the time will come when we cannot curb them. If the only cure is heroic treatment then let about checking the trusts at all, unless we first propose to take away the tariff that has made them, unless we first propose to deprive them of the tariff behind the shelter of which they are safe from any law we may enact?

The Worlds Zenith City.

The population of Moscow shows remarkably rapid increase. Within the comparatively short period of 30 years the number of inhabitants has just about doubled. At the time of the French invasion in 1872 the ur- ban Muscovites numbered about 300,- GOO, although the official figures were 252,oo0, says the London Standard. In 1871 the official census gave the population as 602, ,o0o, in 1889 it was z6s,ooo, and according to the reckon. ing now completed the historic capi- tai contains 1,173,50 inhabitants, thus taking the tenth place among the most populous cities of the world. Moscow covers an area ot 1o1 square kilometers, or only two kilometers less than that of St. Petersburg. Area is not, however by any means a general criterion in questions of populations, as ap- pears from the fact that whereas London, with the largest population of any city in the world, covers 303 square kilometers, New York, with population numbering more than a million less than that of the British metropolis, has 8 total area of 795 square kilometers. The population of Moscow is less dense than those of St. Petersburg, Glasgow, London. Berlin and Paris

built upon false assumption and is enlarged upon simply to fill space. The president and the secretary of the treasury are in thorough harmony"
 Secretary Shaw later issued this statement:
 Money once covered into the treas try, and this of course Includes the subtreasuries, cannot thereafter be de- posted in banks. All customs receipts are by law payable to the treasury and subtreasuries. The only fund therefore available for deposit in banks is internal revenue and miscellaneous receipts before they have actually been covered into the treasury. These amount to about $J00,0O0 per day and since the stringency arose to their fullest extent have been steadfastly returned to circulation. This policy will be continued for thirty or sixty days if needed and longer if neces- sary.
 "In the meantime national bank cir culation has been increased about ST. 100000, largely induced by the distri- button of deposits, and the further in- crease to the amount of $S,0O0,O0O is assured. n
 .sIt is also hoped that the country will understand that the treasury de pertinent, to the extent of it's ability, will stand by the banks east and west, north and south and it is hoped also that the bankers will stand by every business and every interest that is worth protecting.
 "The only way to get money out of the treasury into circulation after it has been actually covered in is by the payment of legal obligations of the government. These may be antici- the October interest.
 Ut now offers to anticipate all in- terest maturing between Oct and the end of the fiscal year if presented with in sixty days at rebate of two-tenths of l per cent per month, which is at the rate of 2.4 per cent per annum
 'In other words, these obligations will be prepaid at such a rate as to a1- low the government to profit thereby at 2.4 per cent per annum. The amount maturing before June 30, 1903, is in round figures $20,650,OOO. The profit to the government if this offer shall be accepted will be in round figures $22O o0O.
 There win be no experiments tried and no policy adopted until after ma- ture deliberation, and no .feelers' will be sent out. Anything to the contrary should be discredited."

 Mrs. A w.

The Dingley law imposes tax of 67 cents a ton on all coal containing less than 92 per cent of fixed carbon. This taxes bituminous and softer grades of anthracite coal. All coal containing 92 per cent or more of fixed carbon may enter free, but the chances are decided ly slim of finding coal that will grade up to that. The Welsh coal that it is proposed to import from Wales does not contain 92 per cent of carbon, and would, therefore, have to pay 67 cents per ton of twenty-eight bushels, of eighty pounds to the bushel. The edis tor of the New Haven Register was, therefore, quite correct in saying that there is duty on imported anthracite coal-Hartford Times.
