In the gallery of the liberal arts build ing at the World's Fair the central figure of a group in the educational exhibit of Oregon is a finely executed photograph of Governor Penuoyer. This likeness is shown in the space devoted by Oregon to the State Board of Education, of which the Governor is President. This photograph is the subject of more re marks perhaps than any of Oregon's ex hibits. .The multitude pass by to ad mire the likeness or to criticise the Gov ernor. They are attracted to the spot, not because the Governor refused to meet President Harrison at the State line : not because he would not permit the State cannon to be fired upon Cleveland's re election ; not because he told Grover to mind his own business; not because he received and welcomed Adlai so pleas antly upon the Vice-President's recent visit to the capital, but because he s to day the best advertised man in America, and the people want to see " what he looks uxe." NATIONAL CAPITAL. Mr. Vest's bill appropriating $300,000 for. a site and building in Washington, to be known as the Hall of Records, has passed the Senate. The Attorney-General has decided that the Secretary of the Treasury has no authority to extend the time of the withdrawal of domestic whisky from bonded warehouses. Consnl-General Mason at Frankfort. Germany, has made a report to the State Department, in which he says that nn der the new tariff not only will Germany cease to draw from Russia supplies of rye and petroleum, every year amount ing to millions of dollars; but, owing to the drougnt, sne will nave a serious ae ficit this year in her own crop of grain, which will call for a very large importa tion of breadstuff's from the United States. The bill of the Finance Committee of the Senate to allow national banks to issue currency to the par value of the bonds deposited by them in the Treas ury is sure to experience very stormy weather. One of the obstacles is Cock rell's amendment directing the Secretary jf the Treasury to redeem the outstand ing 2 per cent bonds by a new issue of ireenbacks. Cockrell calculates that more than $20,000,000 of the $25,000,000 of these bonds will be presented for re demption, and that thus an issue of more than $20,000,000 in greenbacks will be put in circulation. It is understood that he has also in, reserve several other propositions that will not be bleasing to the national banks nor their friends. In the Senate the new Democratic Senator from Nebraska (Allen) is also prepared to attack the bill with an amendment for the suspension of interest on bonds de posited by the national banks as the basis for increased circulation. Senator Peffer of Kansas has intro duced ( by request ) two financial bills, one of which provides for an issue of , $600,000,000 of legal-tender money on ' sheets of aluminium or silk-threaded paper, as the people may prefer. The amount is to be covered into the Treas ury as "surplus money," and a call for all the outstanding interest-bearing bonds is to De maae, ana tney are to oe redeemed at par and paid for from the surplus fund. The second measure ia headed the "New Silver Bill," and directs the Secretary of the Treasury to purchase all the gold, silver and sub sidiary coins offered at any price, less the cost of transportation and mintage, without regard to the price in any foreign country. The bullion purchased is to be coined into standard coins at the ratio of 16 to 1. No reserve is to be held, except a sufficiency to meet the feneral indebtedness of the government, 'or every dollar of gold and silver coined the government is to issue $2 in greenbacks to supply the place of the national bank notes. No special amount of bullion is to be purchased monthly, but the purchase is to be so as to keep the mluts running at their full capacity. In payments all three kinds f currency are to be used, and discrimination against any special class of it ia pro hibited. Commissioner Miller ot the bureau of internal revenue, in response to an in quiry mads recently, issues an official statement as to the refusal of collectors of internal revenue to receive checks in payment of taxes. Mr. Miller said: "The impression seems to be general throughout the country that the refusal of collectors of internal revenue to ac cept checks in payment of internal revenue taxes is in accordance with in structions which have been issued by the Secretary of the Treasury. No such instructions L-ve been issued. The fact is that until recently the collectors have, at their own risk, accepted checks in payment of taxes, and the same have been received by the depositories as so much cash. The condition of things in the country being such at this time that the collectors cannot use these checks at the depositories in the navment of amounts due from them on .account of the internal revenue taxes, they are compelled to exact payment in the m.mner provided by section 3473 R. 8., which is as follows: 'And all taxes and all other debts and demands, than duties on imports, accruing or becoming due to the United States, shall be paid in )(uiu hiu silver corn, treasury notes, United States notes or notes on national banks.' If the banks could pay cur rency on tha cheeks drawn upon them by parties who have taxes to pay, the checks would be received bv.tha mllect. or a heretofore and the existing diffi culty wontd be at an end," - FOREIGN CABLES.
