STATE TREASURY
CANNOT BORROW
ATTY.-GEN. BIRD DECLARES CON
sTITUTioN FoRslDS LOANS
SUCH AS ARE DESIRED.

LANSING. Mich, Nov. 12.-Atty.-
Gen. Bird in substance has declared
unconstitutional the proposed Dor
rowing from Detroit banks TO meet
current demands of the state treas
ury until the annual taxes, due Dec. /,
pour into the treasury.
Ii Is said that the required amount
may reach sl.000,000.
While large sums were borrowed
in 1893 and 1894 under identically the
same conditions, no objection, was
raised. But the fact remains that OBJ
lection could have been raised.
particularly interesting phase OF
the case as IL stands is that special
session of the legislature could afford
no relief. A special session between
now and New Years, when the old
legislature goes out of business, would
have no more constitutional right TO
borrow the money needed than has
the state treasurer. Neither would
a special session have a constitutional
right TO authorize the state treasurer
TO make loan for the purposes for
which the money Is now needed.
A plan reported 10 have been sug-
gested is for the auditor general TO
continue as usual issuing warrants
on the state treasurer to all persons
who present undisputed vouchers.
Then let the persons receiving such
warrants present them to any one OF
the banks with which an arrangement
has been made and receive the face
value.
The banks would not be taking the
least risk. because the warrants would
be as good as gilt edge bonds. The
banks could deposit the warrants In
the state treasury and receive their
cash In January.

WISCONSIN TO FIGHT.

LANSING, Mich, Nov. 12-Atty
Gen. Bird will be ready to make a re-
port on the state boundary question to
the legislature shortly after II con
venes. The survey OF the Michigan.
Wisconsin line has lately been com
pleted by Prof. j. B. Davis, and
whether IL will be followed by a pro
ceeding in the federal supreme court
10 obtain the territory under dispute
will depend upon the recommendation
OF the encouragement. The state ol
wisconsin. II Is understood. is taking
steps to contest Michigan's claim 70

the village OF Hurley and a number OF

WHISKEY FOR
RHEUMATISM

The increased use OF whiskey for
rheumatism Is causing considerable
discussion among the medical frater-
nifty. II is an almost infal.ible cure
when mixed with certain other ingre-
dents and taken properly. The fol-
lowing formula is effective: ITO one
half pint of good whiskey add one
ounce Of Toris Compound and one
ounce of Syrup Sarsaparilla Com
pound. Take in tablespoonful doses
before each meal and before retiring"
1t is surely worth trying by anyone
who may be afflicted.

EXPLAINS TO HoosIER BANKERS
HOW IT WOULD BENEFIT
MANUFACTURERS.

INDIANAPOLIS. Nov. 12.-Before
the Indiana Bankers association,
Henry Clews, the New York banker,
declared in favor of tariff revision.
The gist Of his argument was that
judicious lowering ~ the tarin 10
one OF only moderate protection,
would give American manufacturers
cheaper foreign raw materials and so
enable them to sell their products at
home and abroad lower than they
can now, as they could then compete
In South America and the orient with
England, Germany and other Euro
pean countries where labor Is com
paratively much cheaper than in Am
