CO Thrvo Mouths M DECEMBER 30. 1895. OWED TO THE REVIEW. The I'LAiNBEAEUt liu laid bo( little in reply to the continuous snarling ol tbo Keyiew at oar heeU, like a rnngy cur it ' a mastUT. Tbe newspaper qaarrcla nre not relished by men of good Uit and we fain would avoid it. But these con tinual abuset by faltc charjea and bane ionuendos thrust at tbu Puindealkx by the Iteview hare become intolerable, and further forbearance has cuud to be a virtue. The animus ot all that paper' ecurriloui attacks it to tuild up the Re view by tearioc down the Plaixdealkr. Thai it is doio;; neither the one nor tbe other is not its fault, but its mtifortorie. From twotoualf a dozen luragraphs in eveiy isauo of the twice-a-wcek Kevicw, for the past four or five years, have been devoted to tbe pleasant task of informing its readers bow enterprising were its proprietors, and what great, big-headed, brainy, journalists they were; and what a mag nificent paer they wire turniug out; and hoar their efforts were appreciated by the people, who flocked in by hun- dreds to unbecribe for "America's great- ent country newspaper, and wuataruiii - inj business they were doing, and how Uiey were prospering; and how buatne43 was constantly increasing and booming; and how business men were breaking their necks in their haste to get in their advertisements before the rapidly increas ing circulation caused a rise in prices ; and altogether, to hear the Review tell it, they wets having a monoioly of the nawspapsr business, and a happy, high old time generally. At the same time the Review liar-in-chief waa telling the dear people what an unpopular paper the Plain dealer was, and what poor busi ness it was doing, and tlial it was daily expected to go into bank ruptcy, etc., etc., being unable to coni lte with "America's greatest," be cause, owing to its "patent outride," probably, its daily edition could not furnish the local happenings and tele graphic news more than from one to three days ahead of the Review. Just what degree of prosperity has overtaken the bag of Jta!e wind that edits the Review we do not know. Neither do we care. But it is only fair to presume tliat the story he tells about j his general prosperity is fully as great as the lies he tells concerning his ja- pcr a circulation. The "circulation liar"' is the most coutemptible liar in the universe, be cause, generally, lie he never so well, it proStcth him nothing, lie can de ceive none but the credulous. The cir culation liar of the Review for years has kept standing at the head of his paper the following false legend, in tended to deceive its patrons: "Tbe ecmi-wcekly Review, with its bona-fide circulation of 2,300 copies each issue, invites comparison with anv other country newspaper in the united States. It is the Advertiser's Mascot." We assert, and defy the Review to prove to the contrary, that it has not now, nor for the past two years or more, if it ever bad, a circulation of 2,300. We arc morally certain, in spite ot the con stant repetition of the circulation liar , that "The twico-a-wcuk Review is having a gonuino advertising and subscription boom. It commenced five years ago, and is growing In proportion as time rolls on," that it falls short of that number by several hundred, and that in all proba bility its published lie can b discounted about 40 per cent. Truly the circulation liar is the chief of all iisrs. Ananias in his day, couldn't hold a candle to him. But if he bad only lived til now and wero associated with tho Review man, what a pair they'd bo to draw to! And what has all this Ijing profited tha Review? Docs it bring it in more subscribers? If so, thon why does it not have more than 2,300 subscribers now, instead of less? Docs this continuous, uubluehing lying bring it in more advertisement or make thorn bring a higher price? Well, hardlv that. even, for tin Ituviun '. ...i are lowur than nvi-r lmfnr ii. unins aru not over-burdeiii-.l niii. ..r. Tbcu why all this lying?

Mr. Maltby's shadow exhibits on tho canvas were applauded by the audience, and tbe muiic by the orchestra was ii predated very much.

TELEGRAPH NEWS Bond Bill Pass. Washington, Dec. 28. Tho houso to day passed the bond bill by a vote of 170 to 13C! and tho houee, having discharged tho task for which it has been silting during tho recess, effected an agreement by which it should adjourn next weok, three daj a at n timo, in order to givo membors an opportunity to pass New Year's day at their homee. Tho closing hours of tho debate today wero lacking in spirit, and there was practically no excitement until tbo toto was taken. The margin of 31 by which tho lirst section of the bill, ngaiuBt which the republican opKnenls of tbe measure massed their opposition, was passed showed that tho friends of tho measure had marshaled overy vote in its favor available. As it waB, 47 republicans re fused to act with tho majority of their paity. Tho populists and democrats, with the exception of Hutchinson, who voted .for tho bill, presented au un broken front against the bill. The bill, as passed, amends the re sumption act so as to permit tho issuo of 3 er cent coin bonds, redeemable after fivo years, at tbe pleasuro of tbo govern ment, and payable in 15 ycats, with tho specific provision that nothing in tho bill shall bo construed to repeal the act of 1S78 for the reis&uo of the greenbacks, and that tho bonds shall first be offered for subscription at tbo stibtrcasurics and deopsitories of tho United States. The second section of tho bill pro vides for the issue of three-years 3 per ceutdebt certificate of denominations of $20 and multiplies thereof, in amouts not exceeding 150,000,000, to meet tem porary deficiencies. When the house convened today, only three hours remained for debate on the loud bill, The vote, by tbe lerms o the rule under which the houso was op crating, was to bo taken at 3 o'clock. The vote on the first section of tl bill was as follows: Ayes 170; no's 130. Carlisle to Dlngley. ASIIINUTON, Dec. 27. Chairman Dingle , of the najs and means commit tee, has recelved'a letter from Secretary Carlisle, which is private, but which r i ... lurnisucs some luiormatiou concerning the condition of tho treasury. Diogley says the secretary offers to furnish the house all the data that may be needed Tl. . . . inuronumon oi mo treasury is repre sented as very serious, and Carlisle urges legiMal ion for gold bonds. Uingley has informed the secretary that gold bonds are out of the question and could not be considered. Secretary Carlisle did not say to Dingley that 3 per tent bonds cannot be floated, and did not discuss this feature of tbe case tins uenial is mado because a report lo this effect concerning tbe secretary's letter is in circulation. More Favorable to the United States, Ueuun, Doc. 23. German feeling in ttie enezuela difficulty seems to be veering around. Although tho govern ment studiously refrains from an expres sion of opinion, from an official of the foreign office it has been learned that several diplomatic attempts have been made by Great Britain during the past week to induce Germany to join in tbe movement looking to a combined Euro pean diplomotic action opposed to tbe latest application of tbe Monroo doctrine inese efforts have thus far met with non-ithUrawal3, and, unless things assume a more serious aspect, Germany will keep ofhcially aloof from the ques lion. Popular feeling is certainly more fa vorable lo tho United States, as the cousoof the trouble is coming to bo un derstood. Wiped Off the Map. Lexinuton, Ky., Dec 23.
