important Changes Effected BY the
Present Secretary.

Secretary MacVeaghs hOuseclean-
ing in Treasury policies is about what
might be expected from a practical
partment heretofore conducted in
many particulars on anything but a
business basis.
He began with recasting the Treas
ury balance sheet soon after he en-
tered the office, in manner to separa-
rate the operating expenses Of the
Government from its disburs ments
for betterments and new plant. which
had before been hopelessly jumbled
together He has followed this up
by recommending changes in the CON
ditions governing bond issues: by
abolishing the absurd practice Of melt
ing up all foreign coin, instead of
holding it for a special price. as is
done at European banks; and by put
tins the Government upon a business
basis in the acceptance of certified
checks.

win have the most obvious effect
upon the resources of the Treasury
and on the future of the money mar
ket. If the House concurs in the Sen.
ate bill to authorize the issue Of $780,
600 900 in > per cent. bonds, which are
not available to secure bank notes. the
Treasury win be put in possession of
sufficient cash to carry out several
important establishments. The work
ing balance of 500 100000 aow in the
Treaury, will be increased to $129,-
600, 600 and the debt of the Panama
construction fund to the general fund
of the Treasury will be reduced, part
passu from $140,0000O to $4,000. 900.
1t is eminently proper that a perma-
nent work like the canal should be
paid for from the proceeds Of bonds
simply as a matter of bookkeeping
even if the money received is after

Fish Commissioners Comes Here For
First Time since He Was Abroad.
From The World of Friday:
Hon. George NJ. Bowers arrived in
Martinsburg this afternoon on No )
from Washington. He is looking very
well with the exception that he has
lost some flesh. He is still far from
being well man aad is trying to take
excellent care of himself.
He avoids all excitement and as
much as possible conversation and
one uf his reasones for getting away
from Washington at this time was be-
cause of the many senators and coa-
gressmen who would be at the com
mission during today and tomorrow to
consult with him.
Mr.. Bowers says that under no con
sideration would he go into the cam
paign as the republican candidate for
governor. He says it would be impos-
sible for him to stand the campaign
ing. He has received hundreds of let
tiers concerning his candidacy from all
parts of the state and while he appre-
ciates the honor which the people wish
to confer upon him it will be an inn
possibility for him to accept a nomi-
nation at this time
His many friends will be glad 10
welcome him home again and will be
gratified to learn that he is much inn
proved in health.
