Tha approves of the recommendations of the Secretary of ‘the Treasury that the law authorizing silver certificates to be Issued to depositors of aitver bo repented, on the ground thatthey are yonecessary because the National banks can furnish ‘all the eur- reney needed: and he advises that the coln- age of silver dollars be Imited to the discre- tlon of tho Treqsiry Department. It is.not Ikely that elther of these. recommendations wil meet the approval of the country; the Awmerlean people are nat Hkuly to forego 9 vurrency redesmpble on demand in coin for tha purpose of enabling private banking cor- paratlons to fasue thelr notes, nat rodeom- abla tn coln, to increase thetr elreutntion. «. After repeating In dotall the operations of the Treasury in funding the debt, and giving tho details of the Increase in public revenue, he thinks it better to reduce the revenue by areduction of taxation than te keep up the’ present taxes and pay off tha debt. Hoe there- fore‘adylses the repeal of all the Internal- revenue taxes except those Imposed on to- haceo, distilled apiri{g, and fermented Ilq- ora. With regard to the tarltf he advises tho appointmont of a commisson to revise tho tarifflaws, . To Indorses the recommendation of Gen, Sherman for an Increase In the army, and also tha recommendation for wi Increase and reorganization of the navy, - To his arent ereiit, the President thinks that the Governmant should now bogin the policy of giving National afd to eduention by setting apart a fund to be employed by the |.

SENATOR SHERMAN'’S FUNDING BILL. ‘Tho bill introduced into the United States Senate by Mr. Sherman to authorize 2 3 per cent five-year. optional loan {fs a very differ. ent proposition from that urged in the last Congress by Messrs, Randall, Carliste, and Tucker, and fathered by the Demouratic mas Jority, Itwas then proposed to compel the Seeretary of the Treasury. to sell at para short-time. bond pearing 8 per ‘cent Interest as the only means for refunding the 600 mill- fons of oll bonds which were soon to be- come subject to enll and for avoiding the continued payment of 6 and & por cent tnter- est. It was furthor proposed by tho prépos- terous Democratla scheme ta coerce the Na- tlonal banks to subserlbo for thesa short bonds at the lowest interest ever known, without regard: to their win Interests or necessities, ‘Tha country protested against that measure as fmpracticable with- out the coerel¥e feature, and unfair with tho clement of coercion, Slice then the old & andi yer cent bonds ave been extended Indetlnitly, at the rato of Mg per cent, and may be yedeomed by the Government in any amonnt and at any tine It secs fit to call them. ‘This option is of suet opvinus ad- yantage that it wontd be doubtful policy to ‘| surrender it even to save one-half of 1 per cont Interest, and there would be good reason to antagonize any scheme for 8 por cent bond of a fixed’ term. But Senator Sher- mau’s bill avoids this question altogether, The text of the bill Is ns follows: He tt enacted, cle, Tout the Secretary of tho ‘Treasury is bereby authorized to reocive at tho ‘Transury and at the onica of any Asslatant- ‘Kreasurer of tho United States toxal money of tho Vuited States to the amaunt of $50, or any muntiple of that stint, dud) tsio tn exchange therefor an equal amount of rewisterod or cau pon bunds of the United States of the denoml. nations of $40, $100, £500, $1,000, and $10,000, of stich fori ua he tity proserive, bearlng interost Nt tho rate of Uper cont per annum, payable quarterly or semi-annually at the Treasury of the United Stutes. Such bonds shall bo exempt from all tuxation by or under Stato nuthority, and be payubte ut the plotsuro of the Unitou Btutes after Jun, 1, 1887, the order of: tholr pays ment to be determined by iaw, or, in the nbaenco of sitch legisintion, by the ruies und rexuintions to be ade by tho Seorotury of the ‘Trenta- ury. The mo! deposited under this act shall Le promptly appltad sutely to the redemption of bonds of the United States bearing 3% per cont Interest, gud the aggregate umount of depoalts ein teens not shalt not execed the sum of $:300,- w (OH ‘This is brtef, eloar, and to the wpdint. ‘It Involyes no contingency of tsappotitmant. or embarrassment, It proposes that the Goy- ernment shall say to capitalists, large and amall, Amerlean and foreign, that if they have any money which they desire to Invest al per cent In a shape upon whieh. they wil bo able to realize at any time they may wait current funds, the Government will give them that opportunity in amounts of $50, $100, $300, $1,000, or $10,000, Imiting the ngeregate loan to $:00,000,000, and reserving the right to énll in any partof the loan ut nny time It ehooscs, ‘The suecoss of this wlan would place the Joan upon the same basis as the present extended bonds, with. tho dhYerence that tha Goyernment would save one-half of t percent. Its fallurowould leave tho Government in Just as favorable a situation as it is now. A partial success would save Interest to the extent that tho new bonds should be taken, ‘Thore is no possible: objection to Senator Sherman’s proposition, aven thongh It he.re- garded ag téhtative Uf It be assumed that the great bulk of capital which naturally seeks. investment in Government securities ata low rate of Interest Is already tiled up in’ bonds, than, of course, the holders of 34 per-cents will not care to take 8 por conts with no guarantee of a longer duration. But It fy possible that thore is 9 large amaunt of unemployed capltal which will seek the percents, because such bonds will be in tha nature of a “call loan,” Inaymush ns tho holders can always get par for them in the open inarket with acerned Interest, and since thore will be no danger of much variation in value aboye or betow par. In case enpltal shalt come forward forsuch Investment, belt much or little, there will be an opportunity to save one-half of 1 por cent Interest on the amount that shall be invested, since the 33¢ per cents will bo retired to that estent. This Is the ohly kind of refunding bill that should be sug- gestad at thistime. Its ndoption cannot pos- slbly embarrass the Goverumant, but may possibly resultin saving one-half of 1 per cant Interest on $00,000,000, or $1,600,000 year. ees THE UNITED STATES TREASURY. ‘The showing made by this year’s report of, the Secretary of tho ‘'rensury Ip very re- markabie and most gratifying, It fs literally a complaint that there is too much revenne— & condition that rarely occurs in the history of any Government, and almost never with- out wilversal and bitter protest against an uxcess of taxation, The surplus revenue of lust year was something Ike $66,000,000, One year ago Mr. Sherman, then Secrotary of the ‘Treasury, estimated that the surplus revenue for tha n ext fiseal year would be §00,000,000, Asa matter of fact the surplus has prover to be more than $100,000,000, “A year ago thera, was naeticlency under the requirements of the Siuking-Fund law of more than $41,000,- 0, owing to the falling off in revenue during the six years succeeding the paule of 1873, ‘Pho requirements for the Inst flsenl year have been fully met and the deficloncy in the fund on formor years reduced to $16,000, 000; but the requirements for the present fiscal year nro already oxcocded by the redomp- tlon of bonds in July, Anguat, Soptomber, anid Ootober, so that, at tha present rate, the dellelency In the sinking fund-will yot only bo completely supplied, but by next July tha Government will have reduced its debt. Ata mére rapid rate than it aver promised, ‘The eatimated surplus of the next fiscal year is over $105,000,000, : { 4n the fee of this showlng It {s not strango (hat the Seerotary of the Treasury should urge upon Congress a speedy and equitable reduc- tion of taxes, ‘The Increase of revenue Is about equally divided between’ the Internal and customs tases, each glass having yielded avon $11,000,000 more than during -the pre- vious year, ‘The Seeretary polntodly recatn> wends tho retention af taxes on whisky, heer, and tobacco as legitiuate subjects of taxution, but assents to a repeal of all the other {tems of futernal taxation ox- copt that on bank elrculation, which he ro- gards a8 properly taxable becango ciroulation ts a direct source of profit to the banks under the priviloge oxtonded by the Government. In other words, he would ike to sco tho taxes on bank checks, on deposits, on capl- tal, on matches, and on cosmetics and patent medicjnes repented ass partial means to tho reduction of tho surplus revenue, and recom mendes @ revision and reduction In the tarlit taxes as tho prinelpal rallef, In this matter tho Sucretary is undoubtedly tn harmony with the proponderating gentimons of the country, 5 dudgo Folyer displays his Now York orlgin and dependence chiefly ta his treatment of the allyer question... Itavas a subject that re- auired no treatment whatever at the present thne, A, simple atatement of tho atatus of the sliver coinage would haye'sufllced, It appears that about $44,000,000 of standard sil vor is In elrenfation in coly aud‘ about $66,000,000 in tho shape of certificates, These two items represent about. tho entire stock of ‘standard silver tn --tho country, and yot Secretary Folget, wlio has beon tn oftce only a few weeks, descants on the futile oiforts of the departuent to got the silver Into elrenintion, As he admita that atl the standard dollars are tu_ cireutas tlon, either in coin or In tho shapo of certif- catos, it is Incumbent on him to explain how he would procead to get rny more of it in clrculation except by Incrensing the coinage, But the Sevretary Is also troubled about the asaumed existence of “several standards of value,” as representod by coin, by silver ecr- tileatos, by legal-tender, and by Nattonal- bank notes, ‘The fact ts that there is only one atanitard of valuo—tho double stagdard: of gold and silver nts fixed ratio of valuas, "rhe silver cortitientes are preclssly tha samo, as the stiver dollars, ns the gold certiticates would be tho same as gold dotlars If the ‘Treasury Department would Issue then.

Dut when they appenr on tho stand, asin the ensd of Judge Davis, it is sought to he shown that Guitegu’s plea that the Republtean party was in danger of boing dostroyed by President Ggrileld had some Justitiention in view of the political situation, Tteomes withina hair's breadth of an attempt to justify the shooting!

THE MAYOR'S VETO OF THE POLE EVIL, ‘The Mayor's incasage .nccompanying hig vete of tho ordinance anthoriaing the Mutual Union ‘Telegraph Company to erect tele araph poles and string wires thercon In vlo- lation of the general ordinance prohibiting the nuisance fs the ablest and strongost public document he hay contributed during his local service. I1g Is entitled to the thanks of the community for dofenting tho atda- ofous Job, for the logic of his argument com- pelled nil the Aldermen to yote agaist tho passage ovor his yeto oxcept those who liad some personal interest In the measure which outwotghed public considerations, ‘The reasons which Mayor Iarrlson hnasy Biven for vetolug tha ordinanee may be hur- vledly summarized as follows: (1) The auc: cession of ungalnly poles along: the streets mars tho beauty of the elty. (3) ‘Pho net- work of wires is a permanent obstruction to prompt attack upon fires, (8) Not only is tha sufely of proporty put in Jeopardy, but the safety of luman life imperiled by pre- venting the rondy use of fire-oscapes. (4) The general ordinauce forbidding tho erection of ndilitional telegraph polos and wires wag passed onty last spring, and ft was proposed to nullify it at tho very first occasion for en- forcing tt. (5) The Mutual Union originally. petitioned for the priviluze of entoring the elty by underground enable, accepted the reg: ulations Imposed by the Department of Pub- lie Works, and actually began the Inying of the cable, and put down auille of it.) ‘Tho cable system, Hf. properly eonstructad, is on- {Irely practicable, and fs In satisfactory oper- ution in othor cities. (7) “'Thore is a shrewd susplelon Wit this ordinance Is a purely speculative scheme, ont of which a few men not belonging to-the Mutual Unton corpora- tion expect fo make handsome stock profits.” (8) Bucanse tho ordinaneo did not morely exempt the Mutunt Union frum the prohibl- tion of erecting poles for telegraph, electric, and telephone purposes, but extended to that corporation in general terms vast privileges whieh would soon grow into a glant monop- oly, : : Each of these reasons fs abundant justifi- ention for the Mayor's veto, and all of them combined constitutesan overwhelming con- demnation of the scheme of corruption whereby 9 corporation was to purchaso tha privilege of endangering public safety for its own profit, ‘The ordinance proposed to grant the company the right to “erect poles anid to string. and maintain wires and electric con- ductors atong and seross the streets aud alleys of the Clty of Chicago.” It was the pretense ofthe Mutual Union Company and its representative jn tho Connell that it de- sirett only to obtain the privilege of entering the elty above the proud Instead of under the ground, ‘Tho Mayor exposed completely the decoption of ‘this fraudulent pretense, . Mind that been the only purpoac in view, It woult nob have been neces- sary to tneluiio’ all tho sireets and alloys of the city within tho terms of the or- dinanee nor to spocify “electric eonduet- ora” ag woll ng tolegraph wires, * ‘The lane guage of the ordinance as corruptly passed by the Connell would hays enabled tha eor-" poration that bribed! the members to erect voles anywhera and éyerywhote, and’ not merely to string telograph wires thoreon, but also telophone wires and conductors for. the olectric Hight and evon olectric motive power, thereby legalizing a permanent and outra- Geos mennco to the safofy of property and human life. It was probably the Mayor's x- nasure of the comprehensive and dangerous svovo of tho ordinance whieh deterred some of the Alilermen who voted for tho oral- naneo In tho’ first plnco from voting for Its passage over the vetn.. -‘Thera.1¢ gtound for & mnueh strongor susplelon af the motives of the fourteen Aldermen’ who yoted to. pass the rascally ordinance after the Tovelntions of the veto message than the susplelan which attached to the original passage of the mena- ure, : It ls tobe hoped that this will be the last effort to’xeenre qn’ exemption -frow the gon- oral prohibition of the. telograph-pole nul- sance, Itis only by strict and stendfast ail- Nerenes to such prohibition that the elty can ever bo resoued from. the distigurement and the dangers of telegrgaph poles along tho streots of Chicago. ‘Tho business of this city'ls valuable enough to warrant all tole- graph or other elestria companies in the futuro to dnorenso thelr {aciiittes under- ground at, an additional expense, and tha welfare of tha community demands (hat thoy shall bo compelled to adapt that course, ——— ‘gimm testimany touching the recont dias tor in Minneqpolls shows that the agency whisk led to tho destruction of the four Hourlng-mills was precisely the snino as that which aeensionet the Joss of the great “Washburn Mill” four years ago—namely: earbon or mill dust, The researchoy mado nat that tle. showed — that the Inflampnble and almost impalpa- blo dust. of flour, bran, and intddlings will oxplode Wie gunpowder, whether in tho form of 5 gas ar not, whon Jt is browrht In contact with heat.
