Mr. "WHson dtieWiml in bis speech in rhe bmse Oia.t ttoo present laws w'U produce «U tbe revenue* neritai by the government nod even provide a surplus —after n tittle while.

But tbe irontole is ttba* the de- flottnwy of the revenue, known to all the world, ism much do do with the want of conMenoe tfwit la causing the withdraw*! of «<id at the rate of twelve millions a iw»vk. While the revenue was excessive, the goirernmeut's de mand notes -wore riot prtwTOled for re- <lompr*r.i. Everyliody knew, as an aD- solute certainty, lint notes would be redeonuxl If prasentod. and Un any kind of imti.il dtsusnrted by the holder. That certainty still exists, If notes ar» pre sented at once, butt -there are tbutisands of people, inUilons of them pvluips. who befl-we tbit after a IItitle -t me the treasury will be unable to redeem in gold.

AOTI-TOXINE FOR BMAULVOX. In Friday's issue of the Telegraph a local article appeared, yAlltig of tbe de parture of a number of deputy mar shals, whose mission was to arrest per sons guilty of olI«n««t against the Dodge Company -and charged with hav ing roundered a .oojro iu Uie employ ment of Unit ctampauy. The repori-r luadvertudtly stated that Dodge conn- 1y was tb be tho scene of ilia opera tions of the dopants. W e have ruoelved a.

The trouble* which the Dodge Company 1ms had with squattera upon Its land have attracted wide attention, first, through 'the mur der of Mr. Forsyfflh, and afterwards through the sensational trails In the United States court at this place.
