The Nicnragnan minister in reply id
ft intention query says: “My country has no
of annulling the contract
with the Marttime company for the
construction of the Nicaragua canal.
On the contrary, we have every desire
to see tho canal’ built and by Ameri

uo doulit that an extonsimi of the tmio

that the advisability of ari extrn-ordin

that the party lenders Consider*.*1 it
advisable to have an extra session
id order to demonstrate that tha n

their political adversaries, and to

incapable of agreeing on remedial
legislation. While it is doubtless true
that the republicans are about as deep
'n the mud as the democrats are in
the miro on the silver question, no
one at tho capital who knows Mr.
Cieveland believes he would call an
extra session for the sole purpose of
putting tho republicans in a “hole."
He doesn’t play politics after that

A DOCUMEN T OF WISDOM CKO
CL'AIMED BY THE MIKADO.
He Warns His Subjects to llr-ware
of the Swelled Head.
The Central News orrespondent in
Tokio telegraphs a summary of au im¬
perial proclamation issued Monday to
the Japanese people The emperor
says he is convinced that the peace
concluded at Shimonoseki will promote
the national prosperity, which has ever
been his highest aim.
The glorious result of the war had
becri. achieved by' tho harmonious ef¬
forts of the whole nation. The minis¬
ters, the army, the navy and people's
representatives in the diet had done
everything in their power to make Ja
pan strong and ready, to realize the
emperors aspirations. They had
omitted nothing in perfecting the
plans of national defense, The sol
diers and sailors of tho empire had
won everlasting glory by their helm
vior abroad. They had advanced and
fought, unmindful of winter’s bitter
cold ami summer's blazing heat, and
they had triumphed everywhere. They
had earned a world-wide reputation
for discipline- and humanity. No
praise was too high for their luuf lovaltv
and valor and the glory both add
ed to the empire.
At, ihe same time, much remained to
be done ia the march toward higher
civilization: It was to be honed that
the loyal subjects of the empire would
realize this an l would guard against
the dangers of vanity and conceit,
They should cultivate a spirit of mod
criy and humility and strive to per
feet their mih.arV defenses, although
without going to the extremes of ha
'-f»>»- moto cuucfttiou a ail seek to know the
"»* a,
The uuperor rebukes sharply those
who, in the intoxication of victory,
seem inclined to insult friendly pow¬
ers and complicate the empire’s, for¬
eign relations. Now that the breaches
of fiu'th had been repented, the ex¬
change of the treaty ratifications
should inaugurate a period of forgive¬
ness and friendship The emperor
closes the proclamation with the state¬
ment that strict obedience to his
wishes, as indicated in' this document,
will tic exacted from all his subjects.
Extends to all Powers'.
A dispatch from Tokio to the Cen¬
tral News says that iu view of the
various European misstatements and
misrepresentations ia regard to the
Chino-Tapaaese treaty of pence, the
government confirms that the commer¬
cial concessions obtainc-d by Japan
wore not exclusive, but extend to all
treaty power*. Japan secured these
privileges for the general good of all
countries, and, therefore, expects her
efforts to meet with friend! y appreeia
tion.
Where China Borrows Money.
The Cologne Gazette, of Berlin,
says: “The loan of 30,000,000 marks
at 6percent, which has been concluded
with a syndicate, of German bankers,
is merely a provincial transaction
which was arranged some time ago by
the viceroy of Nankin. The Chinese
government has opened negotiations
for an indemnity loan of £25,000,000
with a syndicate of British, German
aud French bankers ”
A IVi'iiiam-nt Menace.
The Tempa, of Paris, says in a
strongly worded leader on the terms
of peace: “Tho treaty will constitute
n permanent menace to the interests
of Europe. Is. is a grave infringement
on the rights of tho powers whose pos¬
sessions have n common frontier with
China, and Europe will find it, difficult
to understand or forgive the one west¬
ern power that is selfishly holding
aloof and peaceful thus destroying the efficacy
of the intervention of the
others. ”
What is Russia About?
Tho London Times' correspondent
in Kobe says i’he leave of all the
officers of the Russian warships, both
hero and at- Nagasaki,has bccti stopped
aud the crews are confined to their,
vessels. The Russian legation has in¬
structed the commanders to be ready
to sail at twelve hours’ notice.”
Them Settle H.
The I h >> i further says: “It is too
easily assumed that the powers have
the right, to step in at the conclusion
of the war and dictate the conditior.-i
of peace. The present appeal for a
demonstration of European concert is
not jnstifie 1, prirna facie, either by
precedent or policy. We believe pub¬
lic opinion ou the continent, as. also
generally here, will lit the question
between China aud Japan settle itself.
We decidedly believe the government
wise in refraining fivm any share in
bringing pressure to bear upon the
Japan esc."

PRESIDENT’S REPLY
TO AN INVITATION PROM CIUCA
GO BUSINESS MEN
To Attend a Public Reception Tender¬

President Cleveland has written a
reply to the invitation of one hundred
of the leading business men of Chica¬
go to attend a public reception to be
tendered him in that city “ae an evi
den bo o! their deep sense of apprecia
tion of his statesmanlike ' and coura

so vita! to the welfare of our country¬
men and to the strength, prosperity
and honor of our nation. The situ¬
ation we are confronting demands that
those who appreciate the importance
of this subject and those who ought to
be the first to see impending danger
should no longer remain indifferent, or
over-confident. If the sound money
sentiment abroad in tho land will save
us from mischief and disaster it roust
be crystalized and combined and made
immediately active. .that It is dangerous
to overlook the fact a vast number
af our people with Scant opportunity
thus far to examine the question
in all its aspects, have nererthe
less been ingeniously pressed with
spacious suggestions which, in this
time . of misfortim-i and dissen¬
sion, found willing listeners to give
evidence to any scheme which is plausi¬
bly presented as a remedy for their
mi fortunate condition. What is row
more needed than anything clue is a
plain and simple presentation of the
argument in favor of sound money.
In other words, if is a time for the
American people to reason together as
members of a great nation, which can
promise them a continuance of pro¬
tection and safety only so long as its
solvency is unsuspected, its honor un¬
sullied and tho sonnduees of its money
unquestioned. These things arc ill
exchanged for the illusions of a de¬
based currency and groundless hopes
of advantage to be gained by a disre¬
gard of our financial credit and com¬
mercial standing among the nations oi
the world. If our people were isolated
from all others and if the position of
our currency could be created without
regard to our relations to other coun¬
tries, its character would bo of com¬
paratively little importance.
“If the American people were con¬
cerned in the maintenance of I heir
previous life among themselves, they
might return to the old days of barter,
and in this primitive manner acquire
from each other tho materials to sup¬
ply the wants of their existence. But
if American civilization was satisfied
with this it would abjectly fail in its
high and noble mission. In these
restless days the farmer's, tempted by
the assurance that though our curren
ey may be debased, redundant ami un¬
certain, such a situation would improve
the price of his products. Let ue re¬
mind him that he must buy as well as
sell; that his dreams of plen y are
shaded by the certainty that if the
price of the things lie has to sell is
nominally enhanced the cost of thing*
he must buy would uot remain sta¬
tionary; that the best prices which
cheap money proclaims are substantial
and elusive, and even if they were real
and palpable he must necessarily be
left far behind in the race for their
enjoyment. “it
ought not to be difficult to con¬
vince the wage earner that if there
were benefits arising from-a degener¬
ated currency they would rea®h him
least and last of all. In an unhealthy
stimulation of prices, an increased cost
of all the needs of his home must be
, long his portion, while he is at the
i same time vexed with vanishing via
j ions of increased wages and an easier
lot. The pages of history and expert
ence are full of ibis lesson. Au inerG
I ions attempt is made to create a prejn
j dice against the - advocates-of a safe
] ami sound currency by the insinuation,
more or lees directly made, that they
belong to financial and business classes
and 'arc,' therefore, not only out of
sympathy with the common pe- pi * of
(he laud, but for selfish and --.eked
j urpoaes, arc willing to sacrifice the
ml -rests of those outside their circle.
“{ believe that capital and wealth,
through combination and other means,
sometimes gain nn undue advantage,
and it must be conceded that the

It is, however, only »
toff unce in degree, since it is n terly
impassable that any one in our broad
find, rich or poor, whatever may be
Lis occupation, and whether dwelling
i center of finance and commerce,
* r in a remote corner of our domain,
can be really benefited by a financial
scheme, not alike beneficial to all our
]’ opl», or that any one should bo ox
ehiued from a common and universal
interest in the safe character and sta¬
ble value of the currency of the coun¬
try. In ou.r relation to this question
w© are all in business, for we all buy
and sell; so wo all have to do with
financial operations, for we all earn
money and spend it.
* ‘We cannot- escape our interdepend
©nee. Merchants and dealers are in
every neighborhood and each has its
shops ami manufactories. Wherever
the wants of man exist, business and
finance, in some degree, are found, re
feted in one direction to those whose
wants they supply and iu another to
more extensive business and finance to
which they are tributary. A fluctua¬
tion in prices at the seaboard is known
the same day or hour in the remotest
hamlet. The discredit or depreciation
in financial centers of any form of
money in the hands of the people is a
gnal of immediate loss every where.
“If reckless discontent and wild ex¬
periment should sweep our country
from its safe support the most de¬
fenseless of all who suffer in that time
of-distress and national discredit will
be the people, as they reckon the loss
in the scanty support, and the laborer
and the workingman, as he secs the
money he has received for his toil
and shrivel in his hands when
he tenders it for the necessaries to
supply his humble home. Disguise ! I
if as wo may the line of battle is drawn
between the forces of safe currency :■
and those of silver monomctalism. 1
will not believe that if our people are
afforded an intelligent opportunity for
sober second thought they will sanc¬
tion schemas' that, however cloaked,
mean disaster and confusion, nor that
they will consent by undermining a
safe currency to endanger the benefit
ciont character and purpose of their
government. Yours truly,

INCOME TAX.
Some Estimates Given by Collector

Collector of Internal Revenue Par 1
Trammell has telegraphed to Ooimnis
Goner of Internal Revenue Joseph F.
Miller at Washington, that the total
amount of tax to be levied iu Georgia
under the income tax law footed - $85,
000
This is the amounts left under the
decision of the supreme court exempt
ing rents and municipal ” and state
bonds,
It is more of an estimate than au
actual figure—for when adjustments
are made and those thmgft are taxed
which have not been properly return

$100,000. ~

commissioner’s office after ex
amining the returns, will scud back
the amounts to be levied on the various
persons, and then the actual work of
collection will commence. Taxpayers
have until July 1 in which to pay the
income tax.
The amount of .the tar as stated,
ranging from $85,000 to $100,000
will be derived largely from corpora
lions, which were not exempt by the
supreme court decision, and which
have to pay, under tho law, a tax of
two per cent on their net incomes.
Salaries, railroad dividends and cor¬
poration profit were two things that
the tax came from.
