Senator SheVman is tbe great fiancieL-of the Repubicanj' party, N. C ( ' (and, asmeasured by! the iRepnbli j can standard, he is ! clot onlv the greatest financier in the Republican parjy, put in the United States,"ahd one of the greatest in- the world. He has Undoubtedly made finance . a subject bf study, as many other men have, but ip "what his pre em inence consists is not apparent, un less it is in being on all sides ot the monetary question and fn argu ing aff'ably for , one side as for the other: . There is no mah m America who hag done, as' much vto fasten - upon this country the vicious sys tem of finances from which it suffers and no man who has done so much to degrade silver and make gold the standard of valoe. ' i L He was oie 0f the men who origi- 1 nated !the greenback andj the na tional bank, and he was one' of the men who resorted to the f alsepte- "ten.ee pft .taxing the circulation of t State- banks to give the monopoly to, the'national banks, while professing to levy the tax to bring revenue to ' tp thfe. Treasury. In .his; book of reminiscences he acknowledges his part in this fraud, and admits' the frafldjMhpugh he does not call it, by that name.'fcHe iras one of the origi nators of fane' greenback, and is op- posed to ing it unless it can be retired; inTh'ay., j , f . Mr: Sheffflan has' abandoned the -hope of evJr being President but from force of habit 'he still likes to - play politics and that means' for him a mixture With more or less trickery r in itj He accordingly several days ago1 introduced the following resolu tion: . j: -i! - 'Resolved, That' by injurious legisla tion' bf the Fifcv-tbird ! Congress the 'revenues of the Government were re ' daced below its necessary expenditure, and the fund created by law for the re ' demotion of United States notes bas ' been invaded to supply Sjicn deficiency ;. of revenue; that such a 'misapplication .' of the redemption fund is of. doubtful - legality, and greatly injurious to the public credit, and should be prevented by restoring said fund to the sum of not less than $100 000,000 in gold coin or bullion, to be oaid out only kid the re demption of United States notes and Treasury notes, and such notes, when '; redeemed, to be reissued only in ex . 'change for gold coin or bullion." ! . Coming from John1 Sherman we would expect something cool but ' . this is as cool as a Manitoba blizzard in January. , Some time ago' it. was ; announced that ' Mr. Sherman was preparing a reply to the financial portion of the President's message, and we suppose , this resolution is the starter to the reply: He spoke on jt Friday. He. knows jasf as well as he knows the difference between chalk . and charcoal that there is no moire chance of that resolution passing the Senate than there would be of his climbing" a greased pole feet upward, and hence the only - motive be can : have in introducing it and .speaking upon it is to take advantage of the opportunity to criticise jthe present Administration, Secretary Carlisle's , management of X thej Treasury, to misrepresent both-, and to make . , what political capital he can for his i;.party.V-- -:-:;:: Vj : . ) : The ' resolution is not honest tn pufpose not true in' fact. Its pur-'- pose is apparent, but it is hot true in fact, because the revenue of the Gov ernment fell below the - expenditure point a year before the legislation of ; the Fifty-third Congress ''reduced it below the expenditures." It' is a well Itnowh fact that Secretary Foster had" ' to confront a deficit, that he was con i templating an issue of bonds to help the Treasury out, and that the only . way he avoided if was by breaking . Into the gold reserve and usini for t urrent expenses special funds In the i . ireasujy, nat" usually applied to . tweeting current expenses. It is a well-known fact that the gold reserve was then being depleted, and that Secretary Foster had gone so far to wards a new issue of bonds as to have the plates, engraved from which to print the bonds, these same, plates being afterwards insed (slightly changed) by Secretary Carlisle to v- VOL. XXVII. print the first bonds issued ' by him.. Fearing the political effect of a bond issue, Secretary Foster refrained from, issuing them, after he had gone so far as to have the plates engraved, and when Mr. Harrison as beaten be lost ; interest in the Treas ury and ' turned it over to Secretary Carlisle with the funds ex hausted and a deficit imminent. No one knows this better than . Senator Sherman, who bad. the cheek in the l face of these facts to introduce this resolution.. '-.--'"v; --j. i - He knows it will not pass ihe Sen-; ate, because it does not express the sentiments of the Senate as far as the revenue legislation of the Fifty--third Congress goes and. for he ad ditional reason . that one . of the clauses in it, which '"declares for re- deeming the greenbacks and Treas- nrv notes in irold. and locking ud I gold, and locking up thesehotes in the Treasury, was struck from the House ' finance bill on the demand of the silver Republi cans ind other Republicaps who. are opposed to retiring the greenbacks and then passed with the small ma jority of 37 votes, when the Repub licans : had a . clear . majority of oyer ,100.: If, such a propo sition j ' could not pass a Re publican House ' which is over whelmingly Republican, what chance has it of passing the Senate with a clear majority of ten in favor of sil ver! opposed to redeeming the green backs and Treasury notes in gold, opposed to the gold issue, as Senator Sherman would have it, and opposed to? locking up ''the greenbacks as he and some other gold men propose to do? If that thing hadn't been tried in the House and failed he might possibly labor j under the delusion that he could carry it through, but the fact, that they were obliged to eliminate that feature from the bill presented in the House should re move any delusion of that kind. It is somewhat remarkable that Senator Sherman, the great finan cier, the gentleman who as Secretary of the Treasury originated without authority, of law the gold .'reserve and issued bonds without authority of the law for that purpose.! should have been silent all this time! about what be pronounces a misapplication of that fund, when he knew that Secretary Foster was' doing it, and as he claims ha3 been done since, without, protesting against it as he does in this resolution. This silence under the,, ' circumstances ' is even more-remarkable than this remarka ble resolution! MINOR MENTIOU. The . speech of Senator Sherman Friday in "support of his resolution declaring that jthe present-tariff is the cause of the deficiency in reve nue, that the gold reserve should be used for redemption purposes only and that the greenbacks and Treas ury notes redeemed should not, be used for any other purpose than for the purchase jot gofd coin or bullion, ed to a pretty warm debate in which a number of Senators took a hand, followed by several propositions bearing upon bonds and upon mat ters relating to the finances, from all of which it is pretty evident that there is not the slightest probability that any financial measure will be presented upon which the Senate can ori will agree, j Another thing is evi dent and that is that the Senate is decidedly against issuing bonds at all,' and especially issuing them by contract with : syndicates : without first advertising for bids, a position in which Senator Hill agrees with those who take it, although he de fends the course pursued and. pro posed to be pursued in making the next loan. He is. doubtless right as to the so-called 'popular-' loan." which he says is a ojere catchy play on words, as the loan if itaken at home would be taken by the banks and . not by ; the people, but admitting this wouldn't that be betterthan sending : the loan, or the bulk of it, abroad, where the interest in gold would have to go? The more of these , bonds . kept at home the better, for that keeps the interest at - home. - - No doubt, the President and Secretary Carlisle are doing what they believe to be the best, under the circumstances, but it is a question whether in their efforts to maintain the gold reserve they are not going further than ! duty or the law requires, in assuming a responsi bility in which the Congress-pfJ the United States refuses to co-operate with them, especially when there is so much disposition shown to criti-' pise their action and impugn their motives. Perhaps if they showed less disposition to assume responsi bility and more disposition to wait and throw the responsibility on Con gress, Congress might show j more disposition to devise some plan of relief and respond to the demands of the emergency. !:':-' - ' " ! - i The U. S. Department of Aerl culture is imparting some valuable information on , the cost to the people of this country, - especially the farmers, of bad roads. Accord ing to a statement published by the Office of Road Inquiry, the farm products of the United States in ?-- .T S fc-'- Id 1890 were valued at - $3,500,000,000, while the cost of haulage for this, over the common roads of the coun try is estimated at $950,000,000, or more than one-third ' of the total value. This means 'that the farmer must give about one-third of aQ he raises to get his crop to the nearest market-town. It is estimated by some who have given this subject thought and "study that with a sys' tem even approximating the road system of , leading European cban triesthecost of marketing might be reduced two-thirds, by which the farmers would Save over $600,000, 000 of the amount they now pay annually to market thelrcrops. Vith the amount of money which they, now have : to pay as the result of bad roads, applied to road im- provement how long would it be before the bad road would be the .exception instead of the rule ? Bot it isn t easy to make the people see it in this light on to " realize how much bad roads cost! them for the tax coming ' out. or their ' labor and wear, and' tear of stock and vehicles they do not feel it as sensi bly as they would if the money came out of them in the shape of assess meht, but it is a loss all the same and it is a loss in money, too. But this ih only one feature of the case and does not, cdver the. depreciation of land caused by bad roads, and the difficulty' of inducing settlement, or disposing of land to advantage in sections where good roads are scarce. Good roads would in all probability add more to the farming' lands: bf the country than it costs the farmers now to put their crops in market, so that while they lose many millions by the badj roads in the heavy jcost of marketing they would, gain many millions by the enhanced value of property resulting from good roads. i Mr. Waiter N. Allen, of Jefferson county, Kansas, wants another party, a party pledged to the free, and un limited coinage of silver, to repeal the clause in the Bland-Allison act which permits parties to a contract to stipulate against payment in sil ver, and to wipe but national bonds as quickly as possible, thus L getting rid of national banks. Mr. Allen wants convention in St. Louts on the 17th of this month to start his new party ball rolling, n;. ' The New World felt con- siderably relieved when the" private secretar of the Prince off Wales cabled- that the Prince doesn't want any war with the U. S. The' Prince doesn't want war with the U. S. or anybody else.1 He has about all he cares to attend to in running his "keerds," . racers, and incidentals, j ' A contemporary remarks - that when one hears of tbe great output Of gold last yearand thinks how lit tle of it he sees, it is apt to make him realize that this is a pretty big; world and that it takes a great deal of gold to go around. And when it does the average newspaper man isn't apt to be around himself.' J Last year was a pretty good year for giving. ! To colleges $12,379;820 were given, ' to charities $5,745,670, to churches $2,089,150, to museums and art galleries $1,721,500, to libra ries $530,439 to other institutions $6,471,976, making a total of $28,- 943.549. or about SlO.UUU.UUU more than in 1894. : 1 , A darkey who was caught under a bed in New York a few ' nights ago has lost confidence in tbe rabbit foot because he put one in his pocket that morning and "that was the luck" it brought him.

Comfort ror the Bull EJement Tne Oauae ot Teaterday'e B-eollne, Special Star Telegram. New York, January 4. The cotton matket has not' furnished the bull ele ment much comfort-for the past week: Liverpool exhibited spasmodic' signs of strength, but. previously indicated alack of animation on tbe part of tbe legiti mate trade. This, coupled' with the dis turbed condition of the financial world. aided the local element in marking quo tations down' at their will. Another demoralizing feature was the free as well as general offering of spot cotton from the South and until the market receives the encouragement that these low prices suggest, no material Improvement will occur, although we are believers' in higher prices. Liverpool cables to-day were 2 64ths lower, with sales of 10 000 bales, which affected our market, as the opening registered a decline of nine points af compared with yesterday's closing figures; and as the day grew older a farther reaction of four points took place, as the receipts were exceed ingly liberal, and there was little desire to buy on the part o! local operators and a scarcity of Southern orders.. The port receipts to-day are 27,000 bales, against 2.071 bales last year. We advise the purchase of cotton on Jurther con cessions. --- . Crolitjs &.

''And I am sorry to see it, but his meet ing here several weeks ago. by which his friends intended to launch bis ijuberna torial boom, seems to bave killed him as dead as herring. Many Republicans; are saying harsh things about bim and swearing? tbey will not support bim. They all know he is an able and brainy man, but he is so. bull-beaded and bitter that some of them are afraid to trust him: I can't account for it." ." What candidate do you consider as now in the lead? ' "Dockery, by long odds. You don't hear much from his side of the house,' but he is a shrewd politician and an able man, andl he is making wonderful strides toward tbe nomination. ; He bas : hosts ot strong friends in both the. Re publican and Populist parties and the strength he shows ia the convention, if he stays in the held, will be a surprise to some of his competitors." "How about Jim Boyd?" "He is the greatest hustler of the whole lot ' and he is by no means idle, and bis personal popularity is so great that . he will be no easy game for the other candidates. "I am very fond of them all, tbey are my personal friends, and at just ibis stage of tbe game I am' for all of them for Givernor. With so mnch good tim ber we could hardly go amiss."
