upon the whole, we are OF the opin-
ion that the bill presented case Of
which the circuit court sitting in equity
had jurisdiction and that the appoint
ment of receiver was within the au-
thority of the court. We also think
there was evidence to sustain the find
ings Of the lower court and to justify the
order appointing receiver. Whether
a receiver should be appointed was a
matter largely within the discretion Of
the court, in view Of the special circum-
stances of the case Upon careful ex-
animation we cannot say that the order
appointing receiver and granting an
injunction was improvidently made.

remove any possible doubt on this point
We will amend the order by striking

Mr.. Chairman, really believe there is
such q thing as fairness in politics, in con-
gress or anywhere else. believe that the
gentleman from New York [Mr. Payne1,
considering the high standing that he oc-

and the country to get right up and state
the fact about 1t, that the Mckinley bill
produced the deficiency, that Secretary
Foster was preparing to print the bonds
before he went out Of Office, but that in
some way they managed to scrape to-
gether enough money to run until Cleve-
land was sworn in on the 4th Of March,
1873. The bond issue for which Secretary
Foster ordered the plates amounted to
SO 1000, 600.
Mr.. Dinsmore-If the gentleman will
allow me will suggest to him that the

"A few evenings ago at a club in Wash
ington the Presidents Western trip be-
came the subject of conversation. Among
the group was Milton Z. Allies, who has
just resigned from the assistant secretary
ship OF the treasury TO become banker.
The vast extent of the West was men,
toned, and Mr.. Allies told of man from
Oregon, who. on a trip to his old home in
Virginia, met woman, who asked concern
ing the welfare OF her son In the Webfo0t
State. The Westerner replied that he did
not know her son. THAT is strange" said
she, for he has farm on the Columbia
river, and you say you conduct a ferry on
that river" Madam replied the West
erner, ''let me call your attention to the
fact that the Columbia river is 1. 400 miles
in length and drains an area of 100000
square miles" But the West" added Mr..
Allies, with its abundant warrant for
largeness, drifts easily into exaggeration."
And then he offered as an anecdote in
illustration of the magnificent distances OF
the West: An entire family in Dakota

was he going?" was asked the narrator.
He was going half way across his farm
Did he ever get back to his family?" re-
turned the listener. 1T isn't time for him
yet, the Westerner replied.
To the public Mr.. Allies Is known as
quiet conservative financier. full of solemn
statistics, but to his intimates he is a man
of wit and Jollity, hugely enjoying good
stories and clever In relating them. When
he and Secretary Shaw meet at dinner
their anecdote telling becomes a genuine
contest. On one occasion at a banquet,
where Mr.. Allies was down for a speech
toward the last of the programme, the
chairman through mistake. called upon him
at the outset. Mr.. Allies had expected to
base his remarks largely upon those of
preceding speakers. He was, however, not
unequal to the emergency. Gentlemen"
he said, my being called upon at this stage
of the proceedings reminds of an
epitaph which an eccentric citizen of my
native town left at his death to be chiseled
on his tomb. When the marble-cutter had
done his work, we all went out to read the
inscription, which we found to be, ex-
pected this, but not so Soon.' "
