STATE OF THE TREASURY.
TREASURER HUSTON SUBMITS HIS
REPORT.
Tfce Net Ordinary Revenues During:
the Last Fiscal Year Only Exceeded
Twice in the History of the Govern
ment-An Increase of $36,000,000
in the Supply of Money.
Washington, Nov. 18. Treasurer of
the United States Huston has submitted to
Secretary Windom his report on the opera
tions ard condition of the treasury for the
fiscal year endr<l June 30. The net ordinary
revenues amounted to #403,080,!K2, a sum
but twice exceeded in the history of the
government. The increase over the
year beioe was #16,030,923, of
which $11,725,191 came from
internal revenue. The ordinary expend
itures were $297,736,486, an increase of $15,-
730,*71 over those of a year ago. The growth
of the revenues was therefore a little
greater than that of the expenditures, and
there would have beeu a falling off in the
latter but ior the increase in pensions. The
surplus revenues were $10.5,344,493, of
whicn ?2u.304.224 was paid out in premiums
on bonds purchased.
1 HE POSTOKICE DEPARTMENT.
According to the warrants, the receipts
of the poslofHce department were $61,106,-
041, and the expenditures $67,011,263, an
increase of between $5,000,000 and $0,000,-
OCO on both sides.
The amount : cold in the treasure in
creased during u. year from $303,387,719
to $324,933,145, and silver from $315,160,779
to $54tt,521,006. Exclusive of the amounts
on deposit, there was in the treasury be
longing to the government, on June
30, 1889, $326,028,927, and on June 30.
1890, $286,384,815, the anv unt of gold
having increased about #4,000.000, while
the silver decreased nearly $9,009,000. Tne
liabiliti-s decreased during the year from
$127,931,880 to £107,124,718, and the re
serve, being excess of assets over liabilities,
ran down from $195,097,047 to $179,260,097.
THE DEBT STATEMENT.
The difficulties in the way of making a
plain statement of the liabilities of the
treasury and of the public debt are pointed
out, and the changes recently made in the
debt statement explained. The total obli
gations of the treasury on all accounts
wero $1,810,678,475 on June 30, 1889, and
$1,722,240,163 on June 30, 1890. The
debt less the cash in the treasury was
$1,050,034,603, ou the former date, and
$964,325,084 on the latter. Not counting
certificates of deposit, the debt proper, in
the shape of bonds and circulating notes,
was reduced frern $1,250,043,036 to $1,145,-
400,986. This was effected a* a total cost of
$124,953,243 for the principalaud premiums.
>early *14,000,000 of 4 per oer.t. bonds and
upward of #30,000,000 of 4V£ per cents,
were purchased.
THE CIRCULATING MEDIUM.
Important changes took place in the cir
culating medium, but they were of a more
favorable character than those of the year
before There was a gain of $15,000,000 in
the stock of gold, an increase of $43,000,000
in that of silver, and a contraction of
$26,000,000 in the volume of bank notes,
resulting in a net increase of $32,000,000 in
the aggregate supply of money. The total
stock, including certificates of deposit
as well as gold, silver ad
notes held in the treasury for
tbeir redemption is estimated to have in
creased from $2,099,963,718 to $2,170,107,976,
and the actual circulation, being stock less
the amount in the treasury, from $1,387,-
551,835 to $1,443,083,618. In round num
bers the circulation on June 30, 1890, con
sisted of $505,000,000 of gold and gold cer
tificates, $114,000,000 of silver and silver
certificate', and $523,000,000 of United
States and national bank notes.
MOVEMENT Ok NOTES.
Not much change has taken place in the
movement of United States notes. There
was a decline of activity in the issue and
redemption of gold certificates, with anew
increase of only 13.500,000 in the amount
outstanding. The handlings were mostly
of largo denominations, w hich are used in
the collection of customs and the settle
ment of clearing house balances in New
York.
The absorption of legal tender silver into
the circulation m the form of certificates
of deposits, has been fully up to the means
of the treasury for supplying it.
Fresh issues “of certificates took
up the year’s coinage of stand
ard silver dollars and three millions more.
There was also an outflow of between $3,-
000,000 and $3,000,000 of fractional silver
coins, which encourages the hope that, with
good management, ihe treasury in the
course of three years more may bo relieved
of the redundant stock of these coins for
some time on baud.
BONDS ON DEPOSIT.
There was a decseasn of less than $3,000,-
OCO in the bonds held on deposit to secure
national bank circulation. Seventy-three
hanks were discontinued as depositaries and
eight new ones were designated. The re
demptions of bank notes amounted to near
ly $70,000,000,a decrease of upward of $lB,-
000,000 as compared with the year before.
Owing chiefly to the lower prices ruling for
bonds, the deposits for the retirement of
national bank notes amounted to only sll -
000,000.
The treasurer suggests that,"as he is a
bonded officer, he should bo allowed to
select his own force of clerks without the
restriction of the civil service law, while
that law might govern as regards dis
missals.
PRINTING OF THE CURRENCY.
Continued embarrassment has attended
the work of supplying the country with
paper currency, from delays and failures in
filling the treasurer’s requisitions for new
notes. He argues that it is puerile to allow
so small a difficulty as the printiug of a few
thousand sheets of paper to become an
obstacles in the discharge of public busi
ness aud an annoyance to the people in tbeir
money matters. He suggests tbgt greater
flexibility might be given to the cur ency if
gold certificates of denominations of $5 anil
$lO were issued.
HOW WE CAN HAVE CLEAN MONEY.
He also urges the necessity of an nppro
priation'for the transportation of United
feta tea paper currency to Washington for
redemption, pointing out that sines 1883,
when the appropriation was stopped, most
cf the worn notes have found their
way to the sub-treasuries, where they
have been sorted out and for
warded to the treasury, the expense
being charged to another appropriation.
With perhaps a trifling additional outlay
the people could be kept supplied, fr> eof
cost to them, with good, clean and fr.sh
paver currency, thus greatly lessening the
danger of counterfeiting.
A PLEA FOK HIGHER SALARIES.
The treasurer claims that the salaries
paid to officers of the treasury are inade
?i’,ato compensation for the duties per
ornaed, being less than those paid in well
rneunged private institutions, and less even
than are paid in the sub-treasury in New
York. In support of this claim he adduces
a statement of the work performed in the
treasury and --.ib-treasuries, which is
placed in comparison with similar data
i elating to the Batik of England. From this
it appears that the nine sub-treasuries em
ploy £36 persons, with a total pay of $383,-
076. or an average of $1,632, whilethe
treasury at Washington employs 279 per
sons, at a total cost of $338,162 or $1212
per lierson. l’he whole number employed
iu tbn whole treasury system is 515, at ail
aversge cost of sl,4Uu for salaries. The
Bhitii ot England, whoso busi
, f, is almost exactly the same as tjut
Of tbetrei m-y, with the addition of pri
ate deposit and discount, employs 1.16 J
persons at an average cost of 41,440. The
overage, *!,4U) per person, the treasurer
IS thus strikingly noin ted out as just
compensation in tie judgment of the Ei
-8 (*■* Spanitiag nations lor such service as is
performed in the treasury, and the Wash
ington office stands alone os underpaid.
No changes of importance have occurred
in the routine business other than th so in
cidental to the increase of the revenues.
The immense operations of the year were
aoc unplished with the movement of about
$100,000,000 less money in and out of the
treasury tbau was found necessary the
previous year.
A NEGRO MUftDSRED.
His Slayer a Prominent Young Man
of Brooks County.
Quitman, Ga., Nov. 18.—Lacy Yates, a
well known young man of this county, and
member of a prominent family, shot and
killed a negro named named Warren Mitch
ell yesterday afternoon about dark.
Last Saturday the two had a quarrel and
Yates gave Mitchell a thrashing. Yester
day they were both in town, and started
home about 4 o’clock in separate b iggies.
The negro left town first. Yates soon fol
lowed, overtook and passed him. He then
turned around and drove back to meet
Mitchell. Getting out of his buggy he j
stopped Mitchell and asked him if that
beating he got Saturday sat
isfied him. The negro asked
Yates to po on and let him alone.
Yates then drew his pistol and firod two
shots into the negro, either of which would
have proved fata!. Yates has not yet been
arrested, and it is doubtful whether he will
be. It is thought that he will leave the
country at once. The verdict of the
coroner’s jury which investigated the crime
last night was that of willful murder.
SISTERS OF TEMPERANCE.

1 . U. at Atlanta.
Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 18.—The morning
session of the last day of the Woman’s

vention hall a short while. She thanked the
society for her re-election as president.

Thomasville, Ga., Nov. 18.—George W.
Walker, R. L. Bennett and Dr. W. L.
Moore, all of Tallahassee, are in the city to
day perfecting arrangements to bring the
Tallahassee Northern railroad into
Thomasville. The Philadelphia syndicate
of capitalists, who have built street
railways and water works in Tallahassee
are behind the enterprise. They con fro 1
ample means to conscruet the road. They
ask nothing of the people of 'J homas county
except the right of way. A charter for the
road through Georgia has been obtained,
under the name of Thomasville Southern. It
will meet the Tallatia-sea Northern at the
state line, when the two lines will be con
solidated and the name changed to suit.
The people here can well afford to give the
road all it asks, and the gentlemen above
mentioned are meeting with every success.

sion. There were two tents of canvas, one
the gospel tent of the Key. J. L. Tillman
and the other the circus tent, Some thought
less vandal took his knife on Saturday
night, and cut great long rents in the gospel
canvas, very much disfiguring it. Rev. Mr.
Tillman discouragingly spoke of it at the
Sunday service. He did all in bis power to
keep the people away from the circus, but
to no avail. The gospel meetings are largely
attended day and night.

WAYOROBB’ BBVIVAU
People Prom Other Towns Flocking
in on Special Trains
Waycross, Ga., Nov. 18.— Wonderful
awakenings aud reclamations continue to be
the result of the revival services now going
on in this city. The power of the good
spirit is manifest. Men and women come to
the front or rise in their seat and ask for
prayer. The citizens of W nresboro char
tered a special train and came en masse last
night. A special runs from Watertown
each night. If the wave of revival fire
continues it looks as if Waycross mav
become the way by the cross to the regions
beyond.

i NORTH DAKOTA’S SCARE.
A DENIAL THAT THERE IS DANGER
OF AN OUTBREAK.
The Indians at the Standing Rock
Agency Said to be Living Peacefully
on the Reservation With no Thought
of an Uprising—Arms Sent to Man
dan.
Minneapolis, Nov. 18. —The Journal’s
Bismarck special says: “The Tribune says
there is no substantial foundation for the
wild rumors of an Indian uprising at Stand
ing Rock. It says the Indians are living
i peacefully ou their reservation, and wait
ing patiently for the next ration day.
I Nevertheless, there is a great deal of excite
| ment in this vicinity. Half a dozen
! nowspaper correspondents from the east
! arrived m Maudan to-day. Capt. Gregg,
Gov. Miller’s private secretary, was busy all
night gathering up arms and ammunition,
which were sent to Mandan. Agent Mc-
Laughlin, at Standing Rock, reports every
thing quiet and orderly. The opinion of
conservative people is that the Indians do
not dream of an outbreak.”
AX EASIER FEELING.
The Journal's Mandan, N. D., SDecial
says: An easier feeling prevails here this
morning because of the receipt of arms ad
ammunition by citizens. Six mounted
fnendiy Sioux have been sent to patrol the
borders of the reservation. Scouts are
still coming in from all directions.
FULL OF REFUGEES.
A special to the Tribune from Mandan,
N. D., says: Every house in town is full
to overflowing with refugees from the
country districts. Most intense excitement
prevails in the country. The settlers are
prepared to believe anything about the
Indians, because of tbeir queer ac
tions lately. Several families came in
to-day on foot, a distance of twenty
miles, too poor to own a wagon. In town
somewhat less tension exists, owing to the
receipt of 390 guns to-day from the state
government, and the fact that a company
of soldiers will be here to-morrow morning
from Ft- Totten. To-night there are 200
Indians in town armed, but the citizens are
armed, too, and patrols will be out, and the
people will sleep with their clothes on.
INDIANS IN DANGER.
A date will be fixed by a committee of
citizens, and the Indian agents will be noti
fied that after that date any Indian found
iu this country without a puss from the
agent will be killed on sight. The popula
tion is thoroughly aroused, and although
conservative men are doing their best to
quiet the angry populace, there is every
reason to believe that uuless the government
takes immediate steps to increase the force
of soldiers here and at Fort Lincoln every
Indian coming into the country will be
killed.
FORT TOTTEN INDIANS UGLY.
St. Paul, Nov. 18. — A special to the
Pioneer Press from Jamestown, N. D.,
says: “It is learned here to-night that the
messiah craze has struck the Indians at
Fort Totten, and they are inclined to be
ugly. The white residents at the fort ob
ject to the departure of the troops for the
west. ”
TROOPS ON THE MOVE.
Omaha, Neb., Nov. 18.— Troops from
Fort Omaha, Fort Robinson, Fort Niobara
and a pack train from Fort Russell, Wyo„
have been ordered out to hold the Indians
in check at the Pine Ridge and Rosebud

will all be in motion before night.
FOUR COMPANIES UNDER ORDERS.
Orders were issued at 9 o’clock
this morning to companies A, B, C and I),
of the Second infantry,at FortOmaha.to pre
pare for marching at once, while the ocher
four companies were notified to be ready to

Fort McKinney will also be ordered out
and leave in the morning for Douglass,
Wyo., with Col. Guy V. Henry in
command. The march is about 125 miles.
The troops at Fort Niobara and Robinson,
which are not far from the seme of the
difficulty, will march to-morrow.

The medal was ottered by Mr.
Dunn to the company of the
Second Florida battalion displaying the best
marksmanship, and the Rifles won it in a
friendly coutest which took place at St.
Augustine in July last. At the close of Mr.
Ilunu’s speech he lead a private telegiam
from Atlanta stating that Gen. John B.
Gordon had been elected United States
senator on the second ballot, which caused
the old and young soldiers to join in a regu
lar old-time war whoop, showing that Gov.
Gordon is not only appreciated ia his own
state, but also way down in tho Land of
Flowers.

ILLINOIS LEGISLATURE.
Chicago, Nov. 18.— The count of the
Secoud senatorial district was completed
yesterday, and shows the election of
Kenny, dem., to the legislature, instead of
Hoppin, rep., hitherto supposed to be the
victor. This increases the chances of the
democrats in electing a United Suites sena
tor, but does not alrer the fact that the
balance of power between the two great
parties is in the hands of three members of
the farmors’ alliance.

FOR DYSPEPSIA
Use Boraford’a Acid Phosphate.
Dr. Lohenzo Waite, Pittsfield, Mass.,
says; “From its use for a period of about
eight weeks, to the exclusion of all other
remedies, I attribute tho restoration to
health of a patient who was emaciated to
thelastdeg.ee, in consequence of nervous
prostration and dyspepsia. This patient’s
stomach was in such an irritable condition
tuat he could not bear either liquid or solid
food. An accomplished physician of many
years’ experience, whom I called in con
sultation, pronounced his case an incurable

SSVENTH DAY ADVENTISTB.
Tbeir Right to Work on Sunday to be
Tested in tbe Courts
Nashville, Texx., Nov. 18.—R. M.
King of Obion county, who last week made
application tor a writ of habeas corpus be
fore Judge E. 8. Hammond, of the federal
court, was released from confinement Sat
urday. The petition stated that he was
illegally imprisoned In the countv jail of
Obion county by virtue of an alleged mitti
mus issued by the circuit court clerk of
Obion. He claimed that he was falsely im
prisoned and deprived of bis liberty con
trary to the fourteenth amendment of the
constitution of the United States.
THE STORY OF HIS CASE.
King is a citizen of Obion county, living
near Union City, and is a member of the
society known as the Seventh Day Advent
ists. He is a farmer by occupation, and
was arrested ou a charge of violating the
Sabbat.i day by plowing in bis field one
Sunday. He was tried in the circuit court
and oonvicted. From this decision King
appealed to the state supreme court. Ibis
court sustained the decision of the lower
court.
APPLIED FOR A WRIT.
His attorney then applied fer a writ of
habeas corpus, and it was granted by Judge
Hammond, as above stated. The writ is
returnable tbe fourth Monday in Novem
ber, at which time the case will be given a
hearing at Jackson by Judge Hammond.
This is a case of national interest and im
portance, and the decision of the court will
be awaited with interest by tbe religious
sect to which King is attached all over the
United States.
DON M. DICKINSON RETAINED.
Don M. Dickinson, who was a member
of President Cleveland’s cabinet, has
been retained as counsel by order
of the general society of Advent
ists of the United States. It is a nu
merous body, and embraces over 1,000,000
members. Mr. Dickinson has been retained
as counsel to examine into the matter of
the prosecution of members for Sabbath
breaking throughout the country.
A TEST CASE.
He proposes, if possible, to devise some
means of testing the validity of the con
viction in tbe states, especially when the
prosecutions have savored of religious per
secution. The case oi King is to be made a
test case, and, no matter what the decision
of Judge Hammond may be, an appeal will
be taken to the United States supreme court.

MEDICAL
Be Sure
If you have made up your mind to buy
Hood’s Sarsaparilla do not be induced to take
any other. A Boston lady, whose example is
worthy imitation, tells her experience below:
“In one store where I went,to buy Hood’s
Sarsaparilla the clerk tried to induce me buy
their own instead of Hood’s; he told me their’s
would last longer; that I might take it on tea
To Get
days' trial; that if I did not like it I need not
pay anything, etc. But he could not prevail
on me to change. I told him I had taken
Hood’s Sarsaparilla, knew what it was, was
satisfied with it, and did not want any other.
When T began taking Hood’s Sarsaparilla
I was feeling real miserable with dyspepsia,
and so weak that at times I could hardly
Hood’s
stand. I looked like a person in consump
tion. Hood’s Sarsaparilla did me so much
good that I wonder at myself sometimes,
and my friends frequently speak of it.” Mrs.
Ella A. Goff, 61 Terrace Street, Boston.
