BillHye Often spoke his witticisms laden with the 'neatest truths Among- the most noticeable, most Nyeish and most apropos is the following: '; A man mav use a wart on the back of his neck for a collar button; ride on the back coach of a traip to save interest on his money until the con ductor comes around; stop his watch at night to save the wear and tear; leave his and "t" without a dot or cross to save ink; pasture his mother's grave to save corn; bu a man of this kind is a gentleman and a scholar compared to a fellow who will take a newspaper, and when asked to pay for it, puts it into the post-office and has it -maiked, "Re used;" ",. -1 . ! .. r-:-- y THAT EHDLES3 CHAIN. The? Washington correspondent of the Philadelphia Ledger, a very well . informed and careful writer, refers to the retirement of the greenbacks, which will be recommended in the President's message, and intimates that the suggestion will ber to issue long-time, low-interest bonds, the proceeds of which will be used to re deem the, outstanding notes, but . doesn't think Congress will give the subject jmuch attention. - This isn't the first time that the long-time, low interest bond was suggested as a means to get rid of the greenback, for it has been a favorite idea with Secretary Carlisle for some time, and we suppose it originated with some of the Wall street financiers who find Government bonds a good investment.- Whoever j originated' it, we think that Congress will show level-headed sense in not giving it any serious attention. ' 1 1 . Commenting upon j its correspon dent's prediction that the suggestion would receive no serious attention from Congress, the Ledger says: it!IitraT?yrfjiand is I severe reflection, upon the business capacity of Cougress.-KThe fact is, however, that Congress is controlled not by basii a men but by politicians, f and . the mem oers. though they should be convinced 01 me aesiraouity ol retiring; Unite wfes notes, would not think ol doing so, because of tbe unreasonable opposi tion tksuch a course by the advocates of inft ttloa. When the . Government re-, anmed saecle payments on January 1, 1879. there were outstanding $847,000. 009 in United States notes. Partly from fear that the country ! could not then stand the drain of ultimate redemption, partly to appeaie the ; inflationists, the Resumption act provided that tbe notes' when , redeemed should be reissued.' The Government col lected $95,000,000 in gold to meet possi ble demands under the Resumption act, and has sioce issued $262 000.000 in bonds, more objectionable in every way ; tbad those proposed ; to be issued, in order to get gold into the Treasury, but has not advanced one step towards the ultimate redemption of its notes. It has redeemed in gold a'l the notes that were outstanding in 1879. and $123,123. C39 more, and yet they are j stilt" out standing. Moreover, the Sherman notes, amounting to $128,000,000, are still out standing, though $88 000.000 of the $165,000,000 issued have been re deemed, , ! '.-.- j r "These two Issues of notes are. of course, a constant jnenace to the Treas ury, irorn wnicb, under the present law. J1. I . SX) "i lucre is no renei There are a few points in this that are worthy of-attention,l because there has been a persistent and de liberate effort on the part of the greenback retirers to miseducate the public oil what they call the "end less chain." Congress did not pass the , act to re issue the jredeemed greenbacks to placate the ("inflation ists," but to prevent the contraction of the currency which would have " resulted from the destruction of these notes without any provision for a substitute. The country; had al ready suffered much from the con traction of the currency and it was simply to prevent a further -contraction that tbe Secretary of this Traa. ury was required to re-issae the re deemed notes instead of destroying them as had been done before this "'act was passed. .; r Secretary Sherman" without any authority of law, established a gold reserve, and sold bonds for that pur-' pose.' He had the right under the resumption act to establish a coin re serve and to sell bonds for coin if necessary to redeem these notes, but he bad no authority to sell bonds to buy gold. But still the Government reserved the right to redeem these notes In coin, either gold or. silver, and consequently there' were very few of them presented-for redemp. tlon, and these by people who bad use for the gold "In legitimate busi ness transactions and not for specu lative purposes. The gold reserve was kept more as a proof that the Government.had gold and could re deem in gold if necessary than for any actual need there might be for it. Practically, the establishment of the gold reserve did not embarrass the Treasury because there was little demand upon It for gold, and be cause until 1890 a considerable amount of gold was paid in $3 cus toms duties so that it was a compara tively easy matter to keep up the re cerve. The mischief was done when Charles v Foster, . Secretary of the Treasury, discriminated against sil ver and adopted the rale of redeem ing the notes in gold only, or of dele gating to the note holders the option vested by law in the Government, a surrender to the note-holders which has put the Treasury at ; their mercy ever since. This accoants for the $362,000,000 of bonds which have been since issued to keep op this un authorized and unlawful gold reserve. flThe same complaint is made .in this editorial of the Ledger as was made in the last message of the Presi dent, when he called attention to the fact that a' 1 these notes, and $123, 000,000 mere, had been redeemed and were yet outstanding, the inference being that the Government bad been a loser to that amount, in other words; that it had redeemed all these notes and that they still stood in ac- count against it. This is not a fair I statement of the case. The Govern- I ment has been a loser to the amount of interest it has paid to get old, that Is the additional cost it has been at to get "gold, which was not necessary, and would not have been called for If it had not been for that arbitrary ruling of Secretary Foster, which was followed up by Secretary Carlisle, who did not have the nerve to discard it and fall back on the Government's right to pay, in coin. But these notes were not re issued as a gratuity. They were issued as lawful money in meetiag obligations and current expenses of the Govern ment. and took the place of gold and sliver. If these notes were not in the Treasury it would have had to pay out gold or silver and if it didn't have the gold or silver it would have had to provide it by tax ation or by borrowing, so that these re issued greenbacks were perform ing all ' the functions of money, as good as gold or silver for the peo ple and the Government, and wouldn't have cost the people a cent of interest if money had not been borrowed to redeem them, and that would not have been necessary if the ruling had not been made to re deem them with gold. i' - If these notes have been made an "endless chain" it is because tfie men whose duty it was to carry put the law in good faith as the custodians of the Treasury and the trusted agents of the people made a law unto themselves and ignored the law that was made for them. If the law were adhered to there would be no trouble with the "endless chain." HIBO& KS9TIOH. It isn't easy to get reliable intelli gence from Cuba, owing to the cen sorship by the Government authori- ties, but it seems to be evident from meagre reports we have that Wei campaign against Maceo d a failure, and confessedly so if Weyler has come back to Ha vana as reported. : He went out with the express and declared pur pose of forcing Maceo to battle, counting on superior numbers and better equipment to crush him, but Maceo knew bis game better than Weyler knew his own, and was prac tically as safe from Weyler when1 within a day's march of him as be was when Weyler was in Havana issuing proclamations and boastfully pre dicting what he was '"going to do," very little of which he has done. In going out with such parade and blare of - brass horns to meet the Cuban chief, be simply marched np the hill, not very far - up either, J and then marched down again. There were some little details under the management of Maceo that he I didn't anticipate or take into account The ennntrv which Maceo made the base of his operations is mountainous densely covered with forest growth and very difficult of penetration. The road ways are simply narrow passes in which only a few men, if so many, can move abreast. Pulling field pieces through such a country is no easy work, especially when the Cubans, forewarned, - bad taken the precaution to dig mines at many points along these roads, and in the ascent to their fortified positions, which mines are charged with dyna mite, connected by wire and may be discharged at the desired mo ment by simply pressing a button. The first intimation the approaching Spaniards have of the proximity of these mines is when the explosion comes and the men near enough are hurled, mangled, into the air and into eternity. In addition to this the Cubans have dynamite guns, manned by men who understand their busi ness, if we may judge from the re ports of tbe havoc . done on the Spaniards by some of these guns. Weyler has not only had to contend against these unanticipated obstacles, bat against sickness among his men who were overcome by the hard work and the change in rations, which has sent thousands of tbem to the host pital. Under; the circumstances it isn't altogether surprising that Wey ler's plans didn't pan out, and that he has postponed the crushing of Maceo to a more opportune time, Last Monday the Ohio Iron Com pan j. and Rolling Mills, at Zanes ville, the largest iron works in East ern Ohio, shut down. k Reason, "lack of orders." - a few days before that tbe Carpet Mills, at YonkersN. V., which employ about 2.500 hands, and said to be the largest in the United States, shut down. Reason, "overstocked." A short while be fore that the Norwegian Plow Works, at Dubuque, Ia.,- one of the largest establishments in the coun try, closed its doors . because it couldn't collect money enough to pay its debts. ' These are but a few of the industrial suspensions which have been reported from day to day since the election, accompanied by bank and other failures. We mention them .not because it gives us pleasure to do so, for it does not, but to show ? what lit tle foundation there was . tor the wild huzzas of the McKinley pa pers, just after the election, oyer the spontaneous revival in business, as illustrated by the assumption of work by manufactories ' throughout . the country all of which was proudly pointed to as a verification of the prediction that the election of Mc'- Ktnley, ."ihe advance agent of pros. perity," would give business a mighty J boom. Now that they have passed through the fever of excitement, I and can take a cooler view of the situation; they feel sure that in the coming Spring we may look for a de cided improvement, which is putting, off the confidently predicted; but they show more sense in this than they did ia their precipitate exulta tion over the increased, activity just after the electlor-, which they pro fessed to believe had come to stay. Industry will revive and become permanent when the conditions be come such as to favor it, but not un til then. There must be a change. ia our currency system which ; will ensure a better distribution of the money of the cauntry before there can be any material improvement in the industrial and business situation. Were is an opportunity for a Pennsylvania man to break the rec ord as a long liver. He has just come out of the penitentiary after serving a two years' term for embez zlement as a bank officer. Another depositor pounced on him as soon asl be got out, and the question for the courts to decide is whether be may be imprisoned again on the prosecu tion of this depositor. If so, the dispatch informs us, there are some 350 cases on which be may be prose cuted and sentenced, "which might keep him in prison some seven hun dred years." If he is ambitious to live long he has a chance, if the law does not interfere. Kaiser William is charitably sup posed by a good many people to have an insane streak in him. Some of his wild utterances justify this opinion, especially his latest, where he is reported as. havinsr advised army officer, io "keep I .0., , heir casinos while drinking, not to move among civilians while tipsy, to avoid rows but if forced to use weapons to do it thoroughly." One of them had a short while before that run his sword into and killed a civilian be cause he refused to aDolosrize for striking his chair against the chair of the officer in getting up Trom a table. .

L To the Sheriffs and Tax Collectors Gentlemen : You have evidently learned the fact that "thess are hard times." You have heard it Irom. every individual from whom you have either llected or attempted to collect taxes, ntil you are familiar with the cry. I These are indeed fhard times," when the quantity of the tax-paying medium in circulation among our people is con idered. ,- All who have to do witb taxes, either to pay them or collect them, will agree that the present times are excep tionally hard. Perhaps the financial strain on our people generally, has not been sd great since 1885, if. it ever has, as at present. '' v -; , '; .: ) Those who have had the responsi bility of collecting taxes laid upon them this year' should remember j their duty Jto their constituency, to their State and to themselves and tbeir bondsmen It Is evident that exceptional diligence and never ceasing -vigilance should be observed, while with untirine rjertinac. ity they begin, proceed and keep "ever lastingly at it" until all the taxes shai (have been collected and turned over to the proper authorities. i 1. ;!..'. 1 Our farmers planted foe large crops this year. The .fertilizer: taxes turned into the State Treasury show that they purchased since December 1. 1890, 151,- 000 tonsot guano. This is to be pid for out of a very short money crop, at ruinously low prices. Calculating these fertilizers at an average of $23 50 per ton will make $3,413,485. which goes mostly beyond our borders. Then add the clothing, shots, hats and other thingswhich ,our people must have, and for which our money mnst leave us, and you will realize that there is a reason why you should begin early and proceed with unabated diligence in the work of collecting the 1898 taxes. - As to Stale taxes, my observation has convinced be that those who have set tled with this office with most ease and least friction are those who: have paid first. They began in time, kept at it persistently and methodically, and when they would get in hand as much as $500 or $1,000 they would turn it over to the State Treasurer. As the State Treasury is now in need of funds, you are rtq nest ed to send in the State taxes as early and as fast as you can. observing the in struction given you last year as to trans mission or deposit of funds, until I give other instructions on the subject. ' Wishing you success and pledging you all the assistance I can consistently render, : I am, respectfully. W. H. Worth. 1 State Treasurer.

Iosatgaett Beaard It as an Abardooment i ot Hla Iieadershlprol the CamDaien ' - Bene wed Activity ex. thu - Caban Foroe?. j '- By Cable to tbe Moining Siar. ' Havana, Nov. 24 The report circu lated by the New York World 0 tb0 effect that the men captured on the American filibustering scnoaner Com petitor had been re-tried by court mar tial.despite a protest fiied by Consul Gsn- eral Lee, prior to his departure irom Ha vana, is absolutely without a word pf truth. Only the preliminary examina tions ot tbe prisoners on tbe second trial, as ordered by the supreme miliuiy and naval tribunal in Madrid, have as yet occurred, as was reported at the time by the United Associated Presses. ' It is not know n when the trials will take' place. - Every effort has been, made to learn the true reasons lor the returnclast night, to Havana of Captain General Weyler from the province ot Jiaar del Rio. All that is known is that he came here on the gunboat from Mariel. accompanied b only one adjutant. The rest of his ' staff came by rail from Artemsja. Gen. Weyler has made no official Je-. claration. concerning-tbe condition of affairs in the proykce Of Pjnar del Rio. In an interv ew had with him just before he left Pinar del Rio he said tie was sat isfied with his campaign. He had crossed to the south and bad expected to meet. Msceo to give bim combat. He bad, however, met only small tans cf rebels, who disappeared when the Soac ish troops came near to them. Wtjen questioned concerning1 the whercaboiits of Maceo, Gen. Weyler Said : -I do not know where he lis. It is certain thdi I did not meet him in either the hills or dells- of Pinar del Rio, Despite tbeir reputed bravery, the rebels always fhe on tbe approach of troops." 1 ; Gen. Weyler added tnat the supplies of cattle that had been obtained bv ibe insurgents are disappeannz. the troins capturing and destroying all that tljiev Saw. The military combinations planried by him had resulted as he had expected. AH these combinations were notifia ished, but there would be much less to do at the end of the year. . The press comments on the return of the Captain General are very guarded " as is natural under the strict cenaoaikip exercised here. It is lumored that he will soon return 'to the field. Oe re port has it that fne chief reason for his return to Havana Was pressing govern ment business which demanded his per sonal i attention. 'However, notbtog really definite is known, and events in the near future' are anxiously awaited. Some dissatisfaction is quietly expressed even by loyalists that Gen. Weyler, after his long preparations to , inflict a crush ing blow on Maceo, should 'now come back to the capital without even catch ing sight of the main bodv of the rpheis The rebel sympathizers are jubilant, be lieving that Gen. Weyler's return signals the abandonment of this personal leader ship of the campaign, New York, Nov. 34. The sympa thizers witb tbe Cuban cause in this city were, yery jubilant to-day over the news that;'. Captain General Weyler had re turned to Havana. Several reasons are given for the general's action, in with drawing from the field, cine of them be ing that Marquis Abumada, who took charge of affairs in Havana during tbe absence oi General Weyler, did not properly conduct the war. The Cu- bans alt agree that Weyler's campaign in Pmar del Rio has been a failure. Senor Estrada Patma, president ofthe Junta, in conversation with a reporter, to-day said: T -think; General Weyler has disgraced himself by leaving the field.' for, although he had over three times the number oi men at his command that Maceo has in Pioar delRio.be has not accomplished bis avowed purpose to crush the revolution ists.! . - . - "The information has come to me," ne continued, "that the insurgent forces under Gen. Cahxto Garcia have burned Puerto Principe, one ot the four larg;st cities in the island, which they now prac tically control and this has, I believe, had something to do with his return, for he is needed in Havana to direct the en-;' . tire movements of the Spanish army." Madrid, November 34. A dispatch to the Itnparcial from Havana says that in an interview General Weylet stated that he had returned from the province of Pinar del Rio owing to the necessity of settling the question of the new issue of notes by the Spanish Banked csher urgent matters. After these we"re set tled he would be ready to return to' the field. v . j . He added that he did not believe tbat Maceo had more than six thousand men and that these were scattered inremote positions. The object of the re cent Spanish operations' had been the f occupation of the " hiiis acd passes', and the cutting .off of. the supplies of the insurgents. Those few insurgents in the provinces of Las Villas and Havana were easily kept ro check. Theie were more rebels in Cam aguevtban in Las Villas and Havana, . but the. Spaniards had little to do there. Moreover the objsct of the iniurgeots in gathering there might be to distract at tention from Maceo in Pinar del Rio At any rate he would crus'h the rebellion in tbe 'latter province -before dealing with the insurgentslsewnere.
