THE PUBLIC LEDGER. 1 ordnance and ordnance material for ships ot the navy but also a supply for the auxiliary field. Guns and their appurtenances should be provided and kept on hand for both these purposes. We have not today a single gun that could be put upon the ships Paris or New York of the international navigation com pany or any other ship of our reserved navy. The manufacturer of guns at the Washington navy yards is proceeding satisfactorily, and none of our new ships will be required to wait for their guns or ordnance equipments. An important order has been issued by the secre tary of the navy, co-ordinating the duties of the several bureaus concerned in the con struction of ships. This order it is believed will secure to a greater extent than has here tofore been possible the harmonious action of these several bureaus and make the attain ment of the best results more certain. During the past fiscal year there has been an unusual and pressing demand in many quarters of the world for vessels to guard American interests. In January last during the Brazil ian insurrection a large fleet was concentra ted in the harbor of the Rio de Janeiro. The vigorous action of Rear Admiral Benham in protecting the personal and commercial rights of our citizens during the disturbed conditions afforded results which will, it is believed, have a far reaching and wholesome influence when ever in like circumstances it may become nec essary for our naval commanders to interfere in behalf of our people in foreign ports. The war now in progress between China and Japan has rdndered it necessary or expedient to dispatch eight vessels to those waters. The report of the secretary of the interior exhibits the situation of the numerous and in teresting branches of the public service con nected with his department. I commend this report and the valuable recommendations of the secretary to the careful attention of the congress. The public land disposed of during the year amounted to 10,401 ,(KK 77 acres, including 8, tTti.Oo of Indian lands. It is estimated that the public domain still remaining amounts to a little more than 600.000.000 acres, including, however, about 360.000.000 acres in Alaska as well as military reservations and railroad r.nd other selections of land as yet unadjudicated. The total cash receipts from the sale of lands amounted to $.'.C74.i85.lJ5. including $91,931.03 received from Indian lands. Thirty-live thou s.und patents were issued for agricultural lands und thirty-one hundred patents were issued to Indians on allotments of their holdings in severalty. The land not allotted being inalien able by the Indians for a period of twenty-live years after patent. There were certified and patented on account of railroad and wagon grants during the year b(jor55tj.45 acres of land, and at the close of the year twenty-nine acres are embraced in the lists of selections made by railroad men and wagon road companies and awaited settlement. The selections of swamp lands, and that taken as Indemnity therefrom since the passage of the act providing for the same in 149, amount to or nearly or quite eighty million acres, of which fifty-eight million have been patented to states. About 138.000 acres were patented during the last year. Nearly 80:000 acres of school and education grants were approved during the year, and at its close 1,250.303.81 ueres remained unadjusted. It appears that the appropriation for the cur rent year, on account of special service for the protection of the public lands and the timber thereon, is much less than those for previous years and inadequate for an efficient perform ance of the work. A larger sum of money than has been appropriated during a number of years past on this account has been returned to tie government as a result of the labors of those employed In the particular service men tioned, and I hope it will not be crippled by an insufficient appropriation. I fully endorse the recommendation of the secretary that adequate protection be provided for our forest reserves an.! that a comprehenseve forestry system be inaugurated. At the close of the last fiscal year, on the 3'nu day of June, 1894, there were 969,544 persons on our pension rolls, being a net increase of 3 r32 over the number reported at the end of i lie previous year. These pensions may be classified as follows: Soldiers and sailors, survivors of all wars, 7"3 978: widows and relatives of deceased sol o.ers, 215.182; army nurses in the war of the rebellion 414. Of these pensioners 32,039 are surviving soldiers of Indian and other wars prior to the late civil war and the widows or r e la t i v e of such soldiers. The remainder, num bering 93: ,505 are receiving pensions on account rf the war of the bebellion and of these 469,340 n j on the rolls under the authority of the act of June 27, 1890, sometimes called the depen dent pension law. The total amount expended for pensions dur ing the year was $139,801,461, leaving an unex u tided balance from the sum appropriated of The amount necessary to meet pension ex penditures for the year ending June 30, 1896, is estimated at $140,000,000. The commissioner of pensions is of the opin ion that the year 1895, being the thirtieth after the close of the war of the rebellion, must ac cording to all sensible human calculation see the highest limit of the pension roll and that after that year it must begin to decline. The claims pending in the bureau have de creased more than 90,000 during the year. A kue proportion of the new claims filed are for increase of pension by those now on the rolls. The number of certificates issued was 80,213. rL he names dropped from the rolls for all causes during the year numbered 37,951. Among our pensioners are nine widows and three daughters of the revolution and forty five survivers of the war of 1812. The bare-faced and extensive pension frauds expesed under the direction of the courageous i-iid generous veteran soldier now at the head of the bureau leave no room for the claim that no purgation of our pension rolls was needed or that continued vigilance and prompt action are not necessary to the same, and the accusation tuat un effort to detect pension frauds is evi dence of unfriendliness towards our worthy vet erans and a denial of their claims to the gener esity of the government, suggests an unfortu nate indifference to the commission of any of fence wnich Las for its motive the issuing of a pension, and indication of a willingness to be blind to the existunce of mean and treacherous crimes which play upon demagoic fears and make sport of the patriotic impulse of a grate ful people. The completion of the eleventh census is now in charge of the commissioner of labor. The total disbursements on account of the work for the fiscal year ending June 30th 194, amounted $19,365,676.81, at the close of the year the number persons employed in the cen aus office was 679, at present there are about too. The whole number of volumes necessary to comprehend the 11th census will be twenty five and they will contain 22,270 printed pages. Tue assurance is confidently made that before the close of tho i re ent o ilc n ar year th s material still incomplete will be practically in hand and the census can certainly be closed by the 4th of March, 1895. After that the revision and proof reading necessary to bring out the volumes will Mill be required. The text ot the census volumes has been lim ited as far as possible to the analysis of jthe statistics presented. This method which is in accordance with law has caused more or less friction and in some instances individual disap pointment for when the commissioner of clabor took charge of the work he found much matter on hand which according to this rule he was compelled to discard. The tariff act passed at the last session of congress needs important amenedments if it is . to be executed effectively and with certainty. In addition to such necessary .amendments as will not change rates of duty, I am still very decidedly in favor of putting coal and iron on the free list. So far as the sugar schedule is conaerned, 1 would be glad, under existing aggravations, to see every particle of differential duty in favor of refining sugar stricken out of our tariff law. If with all the favor now accorded the sugar refining interests in our tariff laws it still lan guishes to the extent of closed refineries and thousands of discharged workmen, it would teem to present a hopeless case for reasonable legislative aid. During the last month the gold reserved in the treasury for the purpose of redeeming the notes of the government circulating as money in the hands of the people became so reduced and its further deplet ion in the near future seemed so certain that in the exercise of prop er care for the public welfare it became neo cessary to replenish this reserve and thua f&iataia popular Xaith in the abiutj g&d d. termination of the government to meet, as agreed, its pecuniary obligations. It would have been well if in this emergency authority had existed, to issue the bonds of the gov ernment bearing a low date of interest and maturing within a short period, but the con gress having failed to confer such authority, resort was necessarily had to the resumption act of 1875, and pursuant to its provisions bonds were issued drawing interest at the rate of 5 per cent per annum and maturing ten years after their issue, that Deing me snorr- est time authorized by tne act. i am gmu u say, however, that on the sale of these bonds the premium received operated to reduce the rate of interest to be paid by the government to less than 3 per cent. Nothing could t e worse or further removed from sensible finance that the relations existing between the cur rency. The government has issued the gold bonds for its redemption and the means which must be resorted to for the purpose of re plenishing such redemption fund when in spired. .Even if the claims upon this fund were confined to the obligations originally in tended and if the redemption of these obliga tions meant their cancellation the fund would be very small. But these obligations when rea 1 an 1 v d m -ed in gold are not canc eled -but are reissued and may do duty several times bv w:v !' draw ing gold from the treasury thus we have an endless chain of operaiion constantly cieplet pleting the treasury's gold and never near a, final rest as if this was not bad enought we have by a statuatory declaration that it is the pelicy of the government To maintain the parity between gold and sil ver, aided the force and momentum of this ex hausting process, and added largely to the cur rency obligations claiming this peculiar geld redemption our small gold reserve is the sub ject to drain from every side. The demands that increase our danger also increase the necessity of protecting this re serve against depletion and it is most unsrtis factory to know that the protection afforded is only a temporary palliation. ft is perfectly and palpably plain that the only way undei present conditions by which this reserve when dangerously depleted can be replenished is through the issue and sale of the bonds of the government gold, and yet congress iias not only thus far declined to authorize the issue of bonds best suited to suc h a purpose, but there seems a dispositionin some quarters to deny both the necessity and power for the issue of bonds at all. I cannot for a mement believe that any of otir citizens are deliberately will ing that their government should default in its pecuniary obligations or that its financial op erations should be reduced to a silver basis. At any rate I should ncit feel that my duty was done if I omitted any effort I could make to avert such calamity. As long therefore as no provisfon is made for the scheme modifying present banking laws and providing for the is sue of circulating notes by state banks free from taxation under certain limitations. It is proposed to repeal all laws providing for the deposit of United States bonds as secu rity for circulation, to permit national banks to issue circulating notes not exceeding in amount seventy-five per cent, of their paid-up and impaired capital, provided they deposit with the government as a guarantee fund in United States legal tender notes, including treasury notes of 1893. a sum equal in amount to thirty per cent, of the notes they desire to issue this deposit to be maintained at all times, but when any7 bank retires any part of its circulation a proportionate part of its guar antee fund shall be returned to issue, to per mit the secretary of the treasury to prepare and keep on hand ready for issue in case an in crease in circulation is desired blank national notes for each bank having circulation and to repeal the provisions of the present law im posing limitations and restrictions upon banks desiring to reduce or increase their circulation thus permitting such increase or reduction within the limit of seventy-five per cent, of capital to be quickly made as emergencies arise. In addition to the guarantee fund re quired it is proposed to provide a safety fund for the immediate redemption of the circulat ing notes of failed banks by imposing a small tax, say one-half of one per cent, upon the average circulation of each bank until the funds amounts to five per cent, of the total cir culation outstanding. Each national bank, except in case of a failed bank shall redeem or retire its notes in the first instance at its own office or at agencies to be maintained on account of deposits. Another very important feature of this plan is the exemption of state banks from taxation by the United States in cases where it is shov n to the satisfaction of the secretary of the treas ury and comptroller of the currency by banks claiming such exemption that they have not had outstanding their circulating note exceed ing 75 per cent of their paid up and unimpaired capital, that their stockholders are individually liable for the redemption of their circulating notes to the full extent of their ownership of stock; that the liabilities of said banks upon their circulating notes constitutes under their state law a first lien upon their assets; that such banks have kept and maintained a guaran tee fund in United States legal tender notes in cluding treasury notes of 1890 equal to thirty per cent of their outstanding circulating notes when presented at their principal or branch of fices. I conclude this communication fully appre ciating that the responsibility for all legislation affecting the people of the United States rests upon their representatives in congress and as suring them that whether in accordance with recommendations I have made or not, I slie.ll be glad to co operate in perfecting any legisla tion that tends to the prosperity and welfare of our country.

GL3 Sixth St., N. E., Washing ton', Dec. 5. Congress has con vened. The routine has been gone through with. The President's mes sage has been read, and still the country survives. A quorum of both houses was present. The Republi I'iin side of the house was well filled. There were many ornamental and lioral decorations on the desks of a good many of the members. Con spicuous among them was a house of silk material and flowers on the desk of Mr. Linton, the man who so strongly advocates the A. P. A. doe trine. Many expressions of congratula tion were indulged in by the Repub licans, and condolences among the Democrats were also in order. I think it is stated that every Repub lican, who was a nominee for re-election, was returned. Only thirteen Democrats north of Mason and Dix on's line were elected to the next House. In Michigan only one Dem ocrat is elected to the State Legisla ture. He will probably be the busi est legislator in otw whole country. There are 42 committees, and he will be compelled by law to be a member of each and all of them, as thev must consist of both opposing parties. This will give him little time"for anything else, and besides, won't he have a lonesome time m the Democratic caucus" The Presidents message advocates the passage of free coal and iron, and recommends the removal of the differential duty on sugar entirely. This is very good and commends itself stronglv to the laboring classes. On the other hand, he advocates the civil service humbug, and also a plan of financial legislation, pro posed and originated by Baltimore Bankers, by which money is to be issued and put in circulation through the agency of the National Banks. This does not meet with favor enough to stand any chance of its passage. What the Democratic party and the people want is" Bi-metalisrn, and it has got to come sooner or later, and the sooner the better. When the Democratic party cuts aloose from such mugwumpery, and repudiates Grover Cleveland and his gold-bug proclivities, and comes out in open opposition to all such, it will be much better off. Had it done so a year ago the result of the elect ion would have been different. Vice President Stevenson is here, but will return to the bed-side of his sick daughter in Ashevile, as soon af his duties will admit. Mr. James Martin, of the Govern ment Printing Office, was married last Wednesday to a fascinating young widow on Capitol Hill. Many of Oxford's residents will remember him as 'the bookkeeper of W. T. Clark & Co., of Oxford, who did bus iness 3 or 4 years ago in our town. Col. R. J. Mitchell is visiting his daughter, Mrs. Nannie Collins, at Langdon, near Washington. We have not had the pleasure of meet ing him yet. Senator Ransom has arrived and is looking well, other than a sore leg, which he received in an acci dent near his home, some days ago. He still has a slight limp to his walk. Senator Jarvis and Hon. B. F. Gra dy complete the N. C. delegation, present at the opening or the Con gress. A cable is being laid on hi. ht. from the Treasury to the Northeast boundary of the city, and it will be completed by Jan. 1st. This is situ ilar to the one on Pa., Avenue, with improvements and modifications of same. It will be, when completed, a much better and straighter line, and with the exception of that portion from the Treasury building to the Capitol, will be superiorin every re spect. The cars will likely be run ning by March 1st. The night force has been put on at the Printing office and now we do our talking from 9,15 to 5,45 at night and our sleeping in the day. This will give us an opportunity to hear some of the boiled cussedness, which Mi. Reed will probably spout out during the short session of this Congress. The appropriation bills have been sent m, and they show a total sav ing in the appropriations of Five Million Dollars The Democrats continue to cut down expenses in ev ery way, to make the burden of tax ation as light as possible to the tax payers, and the Republicans laugh and win. If they should be fortu nate in 1S9G they will laugh at our economy and simplicity, and spend our surplus, which has been laid up. It really seems that the voters of our country put a premium on ex travagance and financial vice. When the Republicans came in pow er in 18SS, they found over a hun dred million dollars of surplus in the treasury, and they spent it in the most partizan way and laughed at democratic economy. Will it be so agai i J? Prosperity is resuming all over the country. Everything points to a better feeling in business. It will be a gradual and slow, but none the less sure return of prosperity. Another j-ear will bring a big im provement in business, which will increase year by year, if not inter fered with. This is brought about by Democratic legislation. Will the Republicans claim its fruits, al though they had no lot or parcel in its bring about, and will the Demo crats reap any reward by it, as they had to bear the burden of Republi can ruin, for which they were in no wise responsible ? R. L. B. COUNTY COMHISSIONERS. Important Session of the Board on Holiday Last. This most excellent body met on Monday last at 10 o'clock, with Mr. Thos. D. Waller, chairman, and Messrs. B. I.
