It appears the Eldorado railroad | project has gone into winter quar- ters. | eer The Missouri republicans out of favor with boss Filley, stand a mighty slim show at the pie counter. In the appointment of senate com- mittees senators Cockrell and Vest were especially favered and are on many important committees. The destruction of the sugar plan- tation in Coba by the insurgent army is causing some apprehension that the price of raw material will ad- vance. Missouri's successive democratic administrations are wiping out the bonded indebtedness of the state, in herited from the republicans, ata rapid rate. As the populist assisted the re- publicans in orgaaizing the senate we now hold our breath to see if the bargain and sale included voting for the bond and tariff bills The republicans, although in full control of both branches of congress, declare they should not be held re- sponsible for legislation. Queer fel- lows, these republicans. The president signed the papers Saturday admitting Utah as a state. The admission of Utah will add the forty-fifth star to the flag. It is said Gen. Miles is making a study of a horseless vehicle fur the army. This isa more harmless oc cupation than giving our coast de- fense away to the English. The house bond and tariff bille will never get through the senate. Already the senate finance commit- tee are making ready to kill both bills with free silver amendments. The Kansas City democrats are getting in line for the spring election in that city. The factions have all united and the party will present a solid front under new leaders against the a. P.

London, Jan. 7.—In an editorial the Chronicle justifies America’s as- piration to dominate the formation of international law en the American continent as England, in her time, dominated Europe. It must be recognized that America never ac- quired an inch of civilized territory without the consent of its owner. ee The talk of Major Wm.

The delegates will be composed almost entirely of negroes, and hertofore, according to John Sher- man’s book they stand non commit- tal and open for conviction at the proper time. Age may dim the vision, but it is not a barrier against ambition. Gov. Morten, of New York, authorizes the statement that he is a candidate for president. McKinley, Reed and Allison have not yet made such an announcement, but it is generally understood that they are willing to accept the nomination. SE There was no necessity in the Chicago brewers raising the price of beer from $4 to $5 a barrel, as there is no apparent danger of a re- publican {congress putting an extra tax of a $1 barrel on beer to raise the needed revenue. The object is | most of all important questions, as he has fooled us so often, and is directly responsible for the ills we| have. The pension, river improvement and public building congressmen are numerous this season. About all these little fellows ever amount to when they accidentally get to con- grees is the introduction ef an extrav- agant resolution which is promptly pigeon-holed in the committee room. They all understand the art of legis- lating money out of people's pock- ots. —_——. The president writes a Boston banker: “I am sorry that monetary and financial Boston thinks unkind- jly of me. Iam also surprised that bends should the issue or sale of an additional or different form of bond for the maintenance of the gold re- serve be authorized by the law be- fore February 5 It was almost midnight when Secretary Carlisle's circular was made ‘ public, too late an hour to obtain the cpinion of public men on the action of the government or the prospect of the absorption of the bonds by the people. The fact that the bonds will be issued in sums of $50 and multiples thereof and be payable in iustallments is a feature which it is believed will make them regarded with popular favor. The main reason for dating the bonds a year back is said to be in order to give the public a better op- portunity to judge their market value by comparing them with the gold 43 issued at that time, so that their bids can be made to conform with the market value of these bonds SECRETARY CARLISLE'S CIRCULAR. Secretary Carlisle, at 11:55 last night, issued the tollowing bond circular: Treasury Department, Office of the Secretary, Washington, D. C., Jan. 6, 1896 —Notice is hereby given that sealed proposals will be received at the office of the Secretary of the Treasury at Washington, D. C., un- til 12 o’clock m. on Wednesday, the dth day of February, 1896, for the purchase of one hundred million doilors ($100,000,000) of United States 4 per cent coupons or regis- tered bonds in denominations of fifty dollars ($50), and multiples of that sum, as may be desired by bid- ders. ‘ The right to reject any or all bids is reserved. The bonds will be dated on the first day of February, 1895, and be payable in coin thirty years after that date, and will bear interest at 4 per cent per annum, payable quarterly, in coin, but all coupons} maturing on and before the firat day | of February, 1896, will be detached, and purchasers will be required to pay in United States gold coin, or gold certificates, for the bonds awarded to them, and all interest accrued thereon, after the first day of February, 1896, up to the time of application for delivery. Payments for the bonds must be made at the Treasury of the United States at Washington, D. C., or at the sub-treasuries at New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Cincinnati, Chicago, St. Louis or New Orleans, or they may be made at San Francisco with exchange on New York, and all bids must state what denominations of bonds are desired, and whether coupon or registered, and at what place they | Boston places its pocketbook above it’s patriotism.” to put the tax on clothing and lum- ber and let the poor people pay the freight.

J. G. Carus re, Secretary ot the Treasury CONDITION OF STATE FINANCES. Treasurer Stephens Details the Trans- actions of his Department for 1895. Treasurer Lon VY. Stephens filed with Gov. Stone to-day his report of the transactions of the treas- ury department forthe year 1895. The report shows a healthy financial | condition of the State, reflecting | credit upon the entire State admin- istration. From it the following; interesting facts are taken: Balance on hand January 1, 1895, 719,725.43; receipts in 1895. $ 761,869 29. Total, $4,481,594.72. The disbursements during 1895 were $4,147,580.57, leaving a balance at the close of business December 31, 1895, of $334,014.15. During the year the reciepts into the revenue fund were $2,447,104.42; the receipts into the interest fund were $745,- 839.83; receipts into the insurance department fund were $28,936 69; receipts from the Missouri peniten- tiary were $73,767.30. The State 6 per cent debt was reduced during 1895 $527,000; in a word, the State treasurer paid off $277,000 more of bonds than was required by the con- stitution, with money which accum- ulated in the sinking fund. On Jan- uary 1, 1896, $55,000 additional 6 per cent bonds were redeemed by the State. The bonded debt of the State is now but $5,434,000,of which i solmceasiste| COLD WAVE COMING! Jefferson City, Me.

President Cleveland might have made the personel of the Venez- uelan Commission more strinkingly prominent, but it is doubtful if he could have selected a commission that would give better promise of good results. The bench is excellently represent ed by Justices Brewer and Alvey. Frederic R. Coudert is not one of the greatest lawyers in this country but is reconized as an eminent au- thority on international law. An- drew D. White has won distinction both in echolarship{and in diplomacy and Daniel G. Gilman is counted among the first of the men of learn- ing. vided between Democrats and Re- publicans as possible. It contains neither a jingo advocate nor an am- bitious politician It admirably combines learning with experience and sound judgment, and every member is a genuine American. The character and ability of the Commission will command confi- dence in its work and respect for its decision at home and abroad.
