We believe we have some as line people in our town as can be found. Still we think that we have many loafers, thieves and good-for-nothing people as any town its size in Indiana. It seems as though nothing- is too bad for them to do. There is. a class of people who delight in loafing around the stores, talking about their neighbors, telling smutty stories, disturbing public meetings. and doing anything and everything- that an indecent person could think of. On the other hand we have citizens who are a law-abiding people and who are a credit to the commuity in which they live. This a true description of the place where the correspondent that heads this letter Mace lives. We think that vast improvements can be made at this place in the tvay of character.
BIG ISSUEOFBONDS.
Secretary Carlisle Decides Not to Wait for Congress.
CIRCULAR CALLING FOR PROPOSALS.
The Amount of tho IsHue to Be 850,000,000—The New Uonds Will Hear Five Per Cent. Interest and Are Redeemable in Ten Years.
CARLISLE ACTS.
W ASIIINGTON, Jan. 18.—Wednesday evening Secretary Carlisle gave authoritative utterance to the policy that has been foreshadowed for several days past by issuing a circular inviting proposals for §50,000,000 5 per cent bonds, l-edeemable in coin at the pleasure of the government, after ten years from the date of issue. The bonds are to be issued under the authority conveyed in the resumption act of 1875, and will not be floated at a price lower than the equivalent of a 8 per cent bond. Five per cents, were decided on because under the resumption act they are the shortest term bonds that can be issued. Secretary Carlisle's circular is as follows:
The Call.
"By virtue of the authority contained In the not entitled 'An aot to provide for the resumption of specie payments,' approved Januury 14, 1875, the secretary of the treasury hereby offers for pnbllo subscription an issue of bonds of the United States to the amount of S50,000,00'J in either registered or ooupon form, in denominations of S50 and upwards, redeemable in coin at the pleasure of the government after ten years from the date of their Issue and bearlntr interest payable quarterly in coin at tha rate of per cent, per annum.
Manner of Proposals.
"Proposals for the whole or any part of these bonds will be received at the treasury department: office of the secretary, until 13 o'clock noon, on the 1st day of February, 1894. Proposals should state the amount of bonds desired, whether registered or coupon, and tho premium which the subscriber proposes to pay, the place where It Is desired that the bonds shall be delivered, and the office, •whether that of the treasurer of the United States or an assistant treasurer of the United States, where It will be most convenient for tho subscriber to deposit the amount of his subscription. Failure to specify the above particulars may oause the proposal to be rejected. "As soon as practicable, after the 1st day of February, 1804, the allotment of bonds will be made to the highest bidder therefor, but no proposal will be oonsldered at a lower prloe than 117,228, which Is the equivalent of a 8 per cent bond at par, and the right to rejeot any and all proposals Is hereby expressly reserved. In case the bids entitled to allotment exceed the bonds to be Issued, they will be allotted pro rata. "Notices of the date of delivery of the bonds •will be sent to the subscribers to whom allotments are made as soon as praotlbable, and within ten days from the date of such notice subscriptions must be paid la United States gold coin to tho treasurer or such assistant treasurer of the United States as the subscriber has designated, and If not so paid the proposal may be rejeoted. "The bonds will bo dated February 1, 1894, and when payment Is made therefor as above, accrued interest on both prlnolpal and premium from February 1, 1804, to date of payment, at the rate of Interest realized to the subscriber on his investment, '.7111 be added. "All proposals should be addressed to the secretary of the treasury. 'Washington, D. C., and should be distinctly marked: 'Proposals I or subscriptions to per oent. bonds.' "JOHN G. CARLISLE, Secretary-'*
To Meet Current Obligations. The ostensible purpose of the proproposed issue is to replenish the gold reserve. It would take 680,000,000 to bring that reserve up to the $100,000,000 mark, but by the end of the month the disbursements will deplete the fund so much that $50,000,000 is not too great. While the ostensible purpose is thus to replenish the gold reserve, what the secretary of the treasury is really doing is to issue bonds to meet current obligations.
Legality Questioned.
This was not contemplated under the resumption act The best opinion in congress and out has been that bonds ought only to be issued under the aot of 1875 for the redemption of greenbacks. By a stretch of construction it was assumed that the artificial reserve of $100,000,000 might be taken as a point below which the gold intended for the redemption of greenbacks should not be permitted to go. Some lawyers hold that the secretary of the treasury has no right whatever to issue bonds, except for the specific purpose of redeeming greenbacks in such away that every bond must bring in an equivalent amount of gold for the cancellation of the greenbacks.
Will Be Taken by Bank*.
The worst thing about the action of the secretary in issuing the $50,000,000 without the sanction of congress is that it defeats the popular loan which would enable the bonds to be taken by the people r\ large through the post offices and subtreasuries in multiples of $25. The $50,030,000 will be taken without any trouble by the banks and trust companies. The treasury has already received offers for more than 840,000,000. By February 1 it will not be surprising if the offers aggregate $100,000,000.
Reports are current in Washington that three great banking firms in New York, anticipatigg the issue, have formed a combination to take the entire amount at a rate of 2% per cent It is probable, however, that if the banks in Chicago and other western cities want some of the bonds they can get their share.
Condition of tho Treanury.
The net gold reserve sustained a loss of $382,000 Wednesday, and stands at $70,684,915. The net available balance of the treasury is $84,105,002, a reduction of $6,209,953 since January 1.
Produced @104,000,000 of Bullion. SAN FKANCISCO, Jan. 18.—The annual ciroular issued by the president of the Wr!'j-Fargo company places the bullion product of the states and territories west -of the Missouri river, including British Columbia, at $104,000,000. consisting of $35,000,000 of gold, $88,000,000 of silver, $24,000,,000 of copper and $7,000,000 of lead.
Furniture Failure at St. PauL ST. PAUL, Minn., Jan. 18.—The Royal Furniture company has assigned, with assets of $81,000 and liabilities of $60,000. The numerous slaughter sales of furniture and general depression in business are given as the cause of the failure.
A RUNNING FIGHT.
One Officer Killed and Tivo Kan (lit Wounlcui at lanvills Pa, PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Jan. 18.—The hottest battle with burglars that has ever taken place at Danville, the county Beat of Montour county, was fought Wednesday morning between five post oftice masked robbers on one side and 100 infuriated citizens on the other. As a result Policeman John Van Gilger, of Danville, was shot dead by tho robbers and two desperadoes of the gang were wounded, but were taken away in boats on the Susquehanna river. Shortly after the raid on the post office and just as two of the robbers were shoving a big pile of greenbacks into a bag Danville's four night police, the only guardians of 5,000 people, appeared and the shooting began. Ten shots were exchanged, when the robbers were reinforced by three more men who had been trying to blow open tiie safe. All were well armed and a continuous round of firing began. The bandits formed a square, and, keeping close to the stone steps leading to the building, were able to escape the policemen's bullets. Numerous citizens appeared, armed with weapons of every description. The firing became so rapid that the robbers concluded to retreat to the river, and it was there that Van Gilger was slain and two of the wounded robbers were picked up and placed in skiffs. Thus the bandits escaped in the darkness, with rifles and revolvers cracking away at them. The sheriff says he will bring back the slayers of Van Gilger, dead or alive.

Wluit Will Do It!
Medical writers claim that the successful remedy for nasal catarrh must be non-irritating, easy of application, and one that will reach the remote sores and ulcerated surfaces. The history of the efforts to treat catarrh is proof positive that only one remedy has completely met these conditions, and that is Ely's Cream Balm. This safe and pleasant remedy has mastered catarrh as nothing else has ever done, and both physicians and patients freely concede this fact. Our druggists keep it.
