Debt Increasing


Abundant.
The increase of the public debt the last two
months, and for the last month over four
hundred thousand dollars, will naturally lead
people to inquire the cause of that, especially
as heretofore the debt has been paid off at the
rate of nearly a hundred millions year.
First then, there have been great and unusual
disbursements from the Treasury recently.
Then the reduction Of taxation has brought
down the income of the government. Even
with ordinary current disbursements we need
not expect such a rapid extinguishment of the
debt as we have witnessed from year to year
since the war closed. Not that taxation is
sufficiently reduced or that more economy
ought not to be practised by the government.
If we may judge from the recommendations of
the President in his Message to Congress, and
from the many schemes to draw money from
the Treasury, we have reached the limit of
economy, while the people will not tolerate
any increase of taxation, but will, no doubt,
demand further reduction. In addition to
having to pay the interest on Pacific Railroad
bonds, which is outside of the current and
proper expenses Of the government, there are
great many other jobs being pressed to
swallow up millions year. 1t is evident,
therefore, that there is danger of the Treasury
becoming embarrassed before long, unless
Congress cuts down appropriations and sets
its face against all jobs and the administra-
ton becomes more economical.

day-the storm on the Sea of Galilee Gained
by the Saviour-two IDEAS which he pressed
upon the attention of his hearers. The first
was that the disciples went to Jesus, and the
second that they prayed 'Lord save us we
perish - they cried. Our condition on the
sea of life being very similar to theirs we must
take similar steps if we would have the storms
allayed and find peace and rest to our souls.
According to remarks made yesterday by
the Rev. Eugene Cassidy the Catholics of
Brooklyn are determined to maintain their own
schools whether they obtain State aid or not,
rather than have their children educated in
the goddess public schools.
Rev. Mr.. Chadwick, of Brooklyn, told his
people yesterday some things about Confucius
and the Chinese religion, which may be of use
to them when John makes his way from the
Rocky Mountains and the Pacific slope toward
the Atlantic seaboard
Mr.. Beecher presents chapter of light read
ing to-day on some points Of difference and con-
trast between emotional and practical religion.
He is evidently feeding his congregation on
milk, probably for the reason that Paul assigned
for like practice on his part-that they are
not able to bear meat, they being yet weak in
the faith MIR. Beecher lily conceals his lack
of faith in religious reviyals or in emotional
religion, and endeavors theoretically to weaken
the faith of his people in such ecstatc express
sions of the power of divine grace on human
souls. Nevertheless our columns from week
to week give good evidence of the spread of
emotional religion and the conversion of many
hundreds of souls all over our land.
