KOTOS MENTION. -There hasn't been much said about it, but the drain on the Treasury has been going on right ' along over $55,000,000 of gold having been drawn out since the first of January, l here hasn t been any. rush to at tract attention, but the drain has been going on day after clay. This gold was taken out on greenbacks and Treasury notes presented for this gave us a per capita of $1,- redemption, seven-eighths of which The reader who knew little were presented for redemption at bt the condition of this country New York city. It is said that the judged it by those speeches and Treasury officials have become dis- sutistics quoted, would come to I turbed at this steady drain upon the ireasury, which hasn't been embar rassed because the' payments from the syndicates which took the last loan have kept it supplied. But how long will it be before the noteholders will began to break in on this new supply, and when they do how long will it. take them to clean it up? And when that is cleaned up, or it becomes apparent that it will be, what then? More bonds? Of course; that's all the Treas ury can do, for it has no other, way I to keep up the gold reserve to con tinue the redemption of those old greenbacks which are kept on hand to yank the gold out of the Treasury. If the Treasury could lock up the greenbacks as they are redeemed there might be an end sometime to this redeeming business' (redeeming so-caueo, Dut more properly swap ping) but as it can't lock them, up it must turn them loose and go on with, the redeeming process indefinitely, and when it gets short on gold bor row some more. Of course the Sec retary of the Treasury, if he so de- ci ed, could tall back upon the law, redeem these" notes in coin, plank down silver dollars and put a stop to this Treasury raiding; but for some reason which the plain, unsophisti cated citizen doesn't understand the Secretary ot the Treasury prefers to let the silver lie there and the gold- gobblers hold them by the throat. And that's what's the matter with the Treasury. If the free coinage of silver would make money cheap In this coun try, how Is it that money is so "cheap" in Great Britain, which runs exclusively on the gold basis? Next to France we have in this country the largest so-called per capita circu- iaon in tne world, running over with money, as it were, according to the representations of the anti silver men, and yet when we undertake to build a railroad of any magnitude, or engage in any other enterprise that requires a great deal of money, bonds for the purpose are placed up on the English market because their money is so much 'cheaper' than it is in this country and can be com manded In larger amounts. If there be anything in the theory that the character of the metal makes the j7 which can be found anvwhere. money dearer or cheaoer. innnorht tn 'i nas seen the sunlight in be dearer in Great Britain than in this country, where the reverse is the case. Of course' each metal has its relative value, but the price for the use of the money made out of one or the other metal will depend upon the supply ot either, and the de mand r either. Either gold or sil ver might become so abundant as to become "cheap," as the phrase goes, but only an absolute drug of either would make it so cheap as to be worthless. t But the cheaper money is consistent with a reasonable value, the better. Cheap food may be-a bad thing in some respects for the man who produces it, but it is a good thing for the human family, and so "cheap" money may be a bad thing in some respects for the man whose business it Is to lend it; but it is a good thing for the ; human family; Coin money never becomes ' so cheap that it does not . render the world valuable service. a : After dragging its slow ' length m. i " . . m turougn tne courts tor more tnan a year, the pension case of Judge Long, ot 'Michigan, has been decided, and Commissioner Lochren has been sus tained.

What gave him the most prominence was that when in full royal rig he wore $10,000,000 worth of jewels, and was sued once by an -r4 English . woman for breach of promise; ' She proved'that he fooled her, but he pleaded, that he was a reigning sovereign, and.therefore not under the jurisdiction of English Courts, which the Court accepted as true, and thus the woman lost the $50,000 consolation which she sued for. That was a peculiar meeting held in Raleigh Friday night to appoint delegates to the Memphis free and unlimited silver convention, and it shows what a muddled mess the financial question is in throughout the United States.

He recently made out a check for 35 cents, a balance due to an Albany, N. Y., man for over thirty years. Uncle Sam will save the mbney and be abead that much, as the recipient of the check will have it framed and leave it as a curiosity, for his pos terity. ' Mr. Edward Atkinson says the total cost of the dinner which he gave to fourteen persons in Washing ton recently, embracing some mem bers of the cabinet, was only $3.

Sherman is cold but his cheek is immense. Senator Carter, of Colorado, chair man of the .Republican National Committee, says he will not divorce- himself from the Republican party, as reported, if it doesn't go for free silver.

There' are many amateur gunsters 'watching and waiting" for Dixon, alias Isham, alias Slade, and that hundred- dollat reward. They all know that - the murderer is "in the swamp,", because they have seen him (in the distance), several times; but thejr all agree .that the swamp, is "inaccessible" and that it will be as long as the outlaw persists' in toting a musket and a shot-gun and an unknown quantity of dare-devil courage. j-The Star ventures to suggest that a barbed-wire fence, twelve feet high, be "built" ' around ; the swamp, that , the artillery come out and "shell the woods," and . that the amateur gunsters throw away their fowling-pieces and jet bear traps for the outlaw in all the hog paths running into the swamp. ; - .

The maniDulatora have endeavored to demonstrate that there has been no reduction in acreage, and that the coming crop would be very large. .But their efforts will Drove to have been In vain.'
