THE DEBT.

The following summary Of facts
concerning the national debt, pre-
pared by a correspondent of the New
York Tribune, are so cheering and so
and so well stated that they will bear
repetition. .E'r
On the LIST of August, 1862, the prin-
eipal Of u liquidated national debt
amounted to g, 755, e95, 2T5, without
interest thereon, which must have
raised the total TO at least twenty
eight hundred millions of dollars.
Nhereon the annual Interest amount
ca 70 SOL, S2,Ol, or very nearly half
= inilllon dollars for each day in the
week out Sunday. At the close OF
Mr.. Johnson's administration, March
I, 1907 the principal had been re-
dueed S264,5Oj, 81, so that II stood
little less than twenty-five hundred
millions OF dollars, bearing an annual
interest OF Sl26. 3S9, $50. That Is Ia
say /; the interest was reduced. moi
merely by the amount of prinoipal
paid of, but by the conversion oi
seven-thiTties into skies.
Since Gen. Grant became Presiden,
two years and one month agol W.
nave reduced the principal BY S223,.
OS4,5fS, and the interest by such pay,
ment and by funding at lower Tatei
bonds bearing interest, until the prin.
eipal is now but s., 367, Sl8, 23l, and tn,
annual interest STA, S35, $50. And W,
hope that Mr.. Boutwell's fundini
enterprise, now in progress, tOgethe
with the payment Of principal, vii
have reduced the annual burden o
the debt 500, 600, 900 before Gen
Grants term expires. What natioI
has ever done better than this?

The Situation al scranton.

A dispatch from Scranton states
that one eollieTy, Morris 4 Weeks's.
was expected to resume on Saturday.
The owners have promised the miners
that they will not sell to the compan-
les, and although they have received
no positive guarantees that they will
not be molested, they feel safe enough
TO run the risk. The TTipp Slope
will not resume at once, or ut least
until the pending negotiations be-
tween the companies and miners
have resulted favOrably or otherwise.
This mine has plenty OF men ready
TO resume operations, Independent Of
the w. b. A., provided military pro-
tectiCn be afforded, and this prOtee-
tion will be necessary. as il Is well
understood that the coal from this
slope will be sold to the companies.
Another correspondent. writing
from Scranton, says:
The impression prevails very gen
orally in this section that arbitration
will bring about resumption at an
early day in Schuylkill and some OF
the other regions, which would re-
lieve the coal market and reduce
prices. The record OF similar troubles
IN the past shows, without excep-
ton, that q speedy solution of the
question always follows such agita-
tons of resumption as are now in
progress. a fortnight will probably
witness the end of the deadlock and
renewal of mining operations, unless
both sides persist in endeavOring how
not to do il. Those of our citizens
who were Respondent because the cor
pOratiOn officials and the representa-
tives of the miners did not kiss and
make up at first sight, reckOned
without their host. Large bodies
move slowly, and such complications
as the present protracted suspension
requires time for adjustment

Forester, the suspected Nathan
murderer, continues to sustain his
reputation as the ',best hider In the
world" The following instance Of
his daring is related: A few months
since a number of his friends were
confined in one Of the sioutest jails
in New York State. The crime for
which they were I'm was certain to
give each a long sentence; and their
friends used every endeavor to get
them out, without avail, until For
roster took the matter in hand. One
dark night he went to the Jail, and
climbing over a twelve-fOOt outer
wall, got to the outside door, and pick
ing the lock Of il with q tool used for
that purpose, he passed into another
room, where he found the turnkey
wing on a cot asleep. Going up 10
him, Forester very adroitly abstract
ed the keys from his belt, and pro-
ceeding directly to the cell, unlocked
the doors and liberated his friends,
three In number-an making their
escape without being seen. After get
ting his friends out, Forester locked
the cell doors, and going back "a
where the TAILOR was lying, coOlly re-
placed the KEYS in his belt, and going
out through the same door, locked il
with the same instrument with which
ne had effected an entrance. Many
other instances Of his daring are re-
lated, but this will give an ideao of the
kind of n man he is-one who takes
desperate chances and generally Gomez
I through successful.
