To the Editor of the Press:
Each month at the Almshouse a dinner is
given to the Oyerseers of the Poor, 5y the Ov-
erseers of the Poor, and is paid for by the city,
being part of current expenses. The Over
seers of the Poor invite such of their friends as
seemeth unto them good, and these friends &C.
casIonally invite some of their friends, though
the number is limited. Together, Overseers,
Friends, and Friends of the Overseers' Friends
sit around table which is furnished forth with
fish, flesh, and fowl. There are fruits, nuts
raisns, CONNECTIONS. and all things pleasant to
the palates of the Overseers, Friends, and
Friends of the Overseers' Friends. Dainties
which many private families can hardly afford

And after thirty years trial. the 'fPAlN-KILLER'

hot climates, it has become the Standard Medicine

DESPITE the panic and its paralyzing eff

ports of the country continues undated
while the imports are falling of. The imports
of foreign goods into New York from July 1st
to October 25th were S35, $685. 1893 less than
for the corresponding period of the last fiscal
year, while the domestic products exported,
for the sane time, were $53, 911 1888 greater
For the same time the export of gold has

steady for several months past that the finan-
cial editor of the New York Times feels JUST.
hed in estimating the exports and imports for
the remainder of the present year-that to
June 20, 1874. According to this calculation,
which seems to have been very carefully
made, the balance of trade in our favor for
the fiscal year 1884 will be at least $780,
100000, while in the year 1928 the balance
was S100,617, 900 against u.s.
Were the balance of trade against us at the
present time, instead of largely in our favor,
there would be ground for serious apprehen-
sion; but the reverse being the case, there is
no cause for Encouragement at the present
embarrassment, since a nation that sells more
than its buys must come out all right, and
that in brief space of time.

THE hostile action of an influential Catho-
lie association, in reference to orr free school
System, at recent meeting in st. Louis,
called forth quite general comment by our
best exchanges. The peculiar ground of OPP
position was that the State schools did not
teach religions rather than complaint that a
version of the Bible not approved by them
was read. 1t is matter of congratulation
that the leaders of that church in other parts
of the country do not hold to suah policy, as
we may infer from the fact that in New York,
some of the leading clergy of that faith have
set apart days out of school hours, for the
instruction of such children as attend the
