A. T. Brooke of Marlboro and P. A. Scaggs of Vansville districts appear to have the best chance. The present incumbent is Mr. John W. Belt, a republican, who has held the office for several terms and will, in all probability, again enter the contest. ‘The office of county treasurer is also an important one, and several gentlemen, it is understood, have expressed their desire to become candidates.

Cutting’s contest over the will and codicil of his father, Robert L. Cutting of New York, has been compromised, and Cutting will receive a fair share of his father’s estate. He was disinherited by his father on account cf his marriage to Min- nie Seligman, the actress, which was an- rounced in Long Branch during the sum- mer of 1892. the most largely attended | MR. REED'S SUBSTITUTE His Bill to Provide for the Issue of Bonds Offered. His Statement of the Financial Situa- tion as He Sees It and the Proper Remedy. At the close of his remarks upon the financial situation in the House yesterday afternoon, Mr. Reed of Maine offered his substitute for the administration bill. The purport of the measure was published in The Star last Monday. The bill in full provides as follows: “That to enable the Secretary of the Treasury to provide for and maintain the redemption of United States notes accord- ing to the provisions of the act approved January 14, 1875, entitled ‘An act to pro- vide for the resumption of specie pay- ments,’ in addition to the power he now has under said act, he is authorized, from time to time, at his discretion, to issue, sell, and dispose of, at not less than par in coin, either of the description of bonds authorized in said act, or coupon or regis- tered bonds of the United States, to an amount sufficient for the objects herein stated, bearing not to exceed 3 per centum interest per annum, payable semi-annually, and redeemable at the pleasure of the United States, in coin, after five years from their date, with like qualities, priv- ileges and exemptions provided in said act for the bonds therein authorized. And the Secretary of the Treasury shall use the proceeds thereof for the purpose herein provided for, and none other. “Section 2. That to enable the Secretary to pay the current expenses of the govern- ment, so long as the current revenues shall be deficient, he is authorized and re- quired, from time to time, in his discretion, to issue, sell, and dispose of, at not less than par, such an amount of certificates of irdebtedness of che denominations of $25, $50 and $100, or any multiple thereof, as may be needed for that purpose, bearing not to exceed 3 per cent interest per an- num, payable semi-annually, and redeem- able at tho pleasure of the government, in coin, after two years from their date, with like qualities, privileges and exemptions provided In the act approved January 14, 1875, The Secretary may, at his discre- tion, sell and dispose of the same for not less than an equal amount of lawful money of the United States, at designated de- positories of the United States, and at such post offices as he may select, and the Secretary shall use the proceeds thereof for the purpose provided for in this sec- tion, and for none other. The United States as Banker and in Business. In the course of his remarks Mr. Reed said: “For a period of sixteen years the United States has been a banker, without question as to its ability to pay. Within the last year doubts have been thrown about that ability. But there is another department of the United States treasury, which is the department of the United States as a busi- ness establishment. That business estab- lishment has been running astern $107,000,- 000 up to this time, with more deficits in prospect. Unfortunately for the govern- ment those two operations, those two de- partments of the government, have been mingled together in such fashion that the misfortunes of the business department have been devolved in the popular mind on the banking department. The United States has redeemed, as it has agreed to redeem, thus far every note which has been pre- sented. But unfortunately the exigencies of its business department have compelled it to put out one hundred and seven mil- lions, more or less, in order to meet the necessities of that business department. “New, the business department, instead of borrowing money on its own hook, has taken the money of the banking depart- ment and reissued it; and the result is what is known in popular phrase as the ‘endless chain,’ whereby the United States has been made the furnisher of gold to the rest of the world, a condition of things never contemplated by our system of finance, a condition of things which never need to have occurred; but it has occurred, and the President of the United States has appealed not merely to his own party as- soclates, who are in a great majority in this House, but to the gentlemen upon the other side for assistarce. * °° *& * © The Situation. “Our situation is this: We were redeem- ing greenbacks when they were presented. If the revenue was equal to the expendi- tures whenever a greenback was redeemed it would stay in the treasury, and this not- withstanding the fact the Secretary is au- thorized to reissue; for it is not either the authorization or even the demand of the law that they shall be reissued that causes the trouble. It is the fact that they are re- issued. It is the fact that their reissuance causes this continued depletion of the treas- ury. Now, I will fortify my own statement and that of Mr. White by recurrence to the treasury figures themselves. “In March, 1893, the demand notes of the government which were in the treasury were $36,000,000 in amount. Today the amount {s $124,000,000, nearly $125,000,G00. In other words, we have redeemed $8, 000,000 of the United States demand notes which up to date stay redeemed. We had in gold when this administration entered into power $107,000,000. We have borrowed $117,000,000, which makes $224,000,000. We have on hand $42,000,000; showing that we have paid out $182,000,000. Of this $103,- 000,000 has indirectly gone to pay for the deficiency in the revenue, and that leaves $77,000,000, which ought to have been the amcunt of our redempticn of the green- backs; but in reality we have redeemed $88,000,000, and added $11,000,000 more out of other funds than this greenback re- demption fund called upon us to redeem. I say that is not a bad showing in the present unfortunate condition of affairs. It is not a bad showing for the working of the system under this tremendous dis- advantage. Now, let us see what our sit- uation is and what our future liabilities are. “As I have already stated, we had orig- inally $496,000,000 of demand notes. We have $124,000,000 of those notes in the treasury of the United States. That leaves us as demandable $372,000,000. We have $42,000,000 in gold, which leaves the de- mand for which there is no gold in the treasury to meet $32,000,000. In_ other words, the United States stands face to face with an emergency of $332,000,000. That is not vast when you think what we have met and conquered in the way of finance. It seems strange that $332,000,000 should stagger us; and*the only reason why it does stagger us is because in the popular mind this drain of $107,000,000, which was for the United States deficien- cy, is attributed to an eager rush by the pecple to have the greenbacks redeemed. The Remedy. “Now, what is the remedy? Why, the remedy is plainly to separate these two transactions; to let the people of the Unit- ed States see precisely what is going on and the people of the world see what is going on. When the government negoti- ates the next $100,000,000, which, if rumor be correct, is already negotiated, we shall then only have$232,000,000 outstanding, with ample authority on the part of the govern- ment to raise every dollar of that. Now, what is the condition in which a favorable state of affairs will exist? It is that con- dition which we shall have when we keep separate from our banking department our business department. How shall we meet the business in our business department? —because that is partially involved in the problem. We would meet it on our side, perhaps, by proposing to make the reve- nue equal to the expenditures; but there are difficulties in the way of that, just as there are difficulties in the way of this original bill. “These difficulties In the way of raising revenue arise from a pride, if I can call it pride, in the present advantageous tariff pill, (Laughter on the republican side.) A proposition to raise revenue would be, in a certain sense, a confession, and confz sicn would perhaps be suicide. (Laughter.) ‘Then, again, we are bound in our transac- tions here to pay some attention to the constituted authorities, and the constituted authorities for the next two years, for this urpose, are the present Secretary of the Prensury and the President of the United States. Now, the Secretary of the Treas- ury, with a prescience whose accuracy I wish for the eake of a simple world Lad not been so complete—the present Secre- tary says that at the end of this calendar year there will be a surplus of $22,563,023. I am glad the calculation did not run into cents, because that might have cast some doubt upon the accuracy of it. (Laughter.) TOO LOW WAGES, Other Reasons Why We Get Discouraged. Labor's Tiresome Sameness Wears Brain and Body. Depressed System is Often Badly Nourished. Paine’s Celery Compound a Perfect Remedy. Better Even Than Rest and Change for the Weary. The more minutely all kinds of work become subdivided, the more samencss and monotony creep into each man’s labor. Day after day, day after day, in th; same rut, till little interest remains in the work, and the mind and body are gradually robbed of energy 2nd healthy elasticity. Unless something is done the prolonged strain is likely to result in health fail- ure; hervous eymptoms apperr, cares that were once lightly cast off now stick like burs, siizht physical exertion tires and the end is complete prostration and breaking down of some vital organ. Business men fecl this, public officials, wage- earners, housekeepers, every mian and woman whose work allows of little or no rest and change. At the first small beginnings of nervousness, or when languid feelings do not disappear after a sound night's sleep, the prudent per should know that he or she must check this decline in health by the use of that one genuine nerve food and blood renewer, Paine’s celery compound. ‘The family physician knows {ts power over dis- eases of exhaustion and debility when he orders it, as so many careful practitioners are now doing in every city and small town throughout the United States. As soon as one has fairly begun to use Paine’s celery compound every day will be a firm step toward assured health. Nervous, unhappy and feeble persons find their flesh becomes more solid, a more healthy color takes the place of the was, sallow look, und there comes a clear increase in the volume of the blood-and an Increased normal appetite because of this rapid feeding of the entire system. Work becomes easier. This searching tonic goes at once to the very causes of nervous disaster and breakdown. It is invaluable in all wasting diseases, in all cases where unusual demands are made on the system. Especially is it true in the case of mothers and invalids recovering from sickness. aine’s celery compound has saved thousands from mournful sears of feebleness, from the weariness of pain and from bodily weakness. It means health and bappiness. I do not desire in any way to throw doubt upon this calculation. I hope it fs correct. At any rate, we are bound to treat it as being so. But the present condition un- doubtedly is, temporarily—even if the Sec- retary be right—that of a monthly de- ficiency. The Gold Account Should Be Scparate. “Now, that deficiency ought not to run into our gold account. It ought to be sep- arate. It ought to be kept by Itself. How will you do that? The remedy is perfectly simple. If the Secretary will not have revenue, and declares that he is face to face with a surplus, we must treat the case upon that basis. Otherwise we arouse party feeling, and come to no arrangement on the subject. How shall we do this? It seems to me that we should require the Secretary of the Treasury, as long as this deficiency continues to exist, even thovgh it exists only temporarily, to issue cer- tificates of indebtedness bearing such rates of interest, not exceeding 3 per cent, as he deems suitable and proper, so as to pay off this deficiency just as fast as it accrues, and leave untouched the greenback re- deeming resources of the country. Let the people of the United States then see vhether those who have greenbacks do not want them, and if they are all returned it may be a guide to the people to know what to do with those greenbacks. If they do not choose at some future time to destroy them; if, when the times become as they have been during the past sixteen years, the people prefer to use them, we owe debts enough to employ them, and perhaps they may be used to redeem these very bonds which produce the gold. “So, also, when we come to the surplus which Mr. Carlisle thinks is in sight. When we come to that, if we issue cer- tificates of indebtedness for the deficit, cer- tificates running two years—I would not care if the time was even shorter, but cay two years—redeemable at the pleasure of the government, then the surplus can be used to wipe out that deficit, and we shall stand free from that part of our debt. In addition to that, these certificates offer an advantage to the country over the preseat system. Under the present system the de- ficiency must be met by a long-time gold bond, and when we get ready to purchase those bonds, that is just the time that they will get ready to go up, and we shall pay a pretty penny before we get them back: but if we issue short-time certificates of indebtedness, temporary on their face, we supply the place of these long gold bonds, which will otherwise have to be paid. Now, why is not that the solution of our problem, without raising vexed questions which we know cannot be solved? Why is it not a practical solution of our trouble? Why is it not suitable in every way? DARTMOUTH GRADUATES. The Annual Reunion and Banguet En- joyed Last Evening.
