Upon reflection, the Hon. Eugene Hale
of Maine declines the Postmaster-Ge neraiship,

fled Whether or not Mr.. Hale's action has
any relation to the Presidency, or to Speaker
Blaine, or to his father-in-law, Senator Chand-
Ter, or to anything else, is now On open
question. The irreverent are likely to say
that the idea of healthy young fellow
of 81 or SO declining Cabinet office, be-
cause he feels too much depressed by
the heat of the weather to undertake
its duties, is, in the language OF
the worldly, too thin. Those who insist on
seeing q cat under every meal tub will
doubtless discover Mr.. Blaine under this one,
and declare that when the President tried to cap
ture Mr.. Blaines lieutenant and the Michigan
Senator at once, he undertook to storm bigger
fortress than his forces could control. For
the rest it is all very queer. Cabinet Offices

This is literally contraction, and we trust

This is literally contraction, and we trust it
will continue until Secretary Bristow has
working balance in currency of forty or nifty
millions. No one suffers by 1t. No one even
feels it, Inasmuch as the deficiency bills
passed by Congress called for small amounts
of which some have already been paid; as
the appropriations for the current year are
not much larger than they were for
1912 and 1928; as the Internal Revenue,
which is paid in paper. is now yielding well,
and as five millions in gold are advertised for
sale this month, the chances are that the
currency balance will again show handsome
increase in July In truth, an experiment
on small scale is to be tried,
and the result Of it, we think. will be to
prove that this country, with the money mar
ket glutted, can stand contraction as well as
France. We at least hope to see the Treasury
furnished with respectable currency balance.
Occasions frequently arise when it would be
desirable to suspend temporarily the gold
sales, and without selling the surplus gold the
currency payments would exceed the currency
receipts by several millions each month. In
the coming months business is much
moro likely to be injured by a
The gold certificates, which represent nearly
the whole amount of coin in the country avail
able for the payment of Customs, have now
fallen below twenty three millions. The July
interest is coming out, it is true, but
it is pretty certain that more specie
will be shipped to Europe, and in
August and September the pay
ments for customs will be heavy. To put the
matter plainly, after all the fixing of the
"legal-tender limit" Secretary Bristow must
continue to contract the paper money, or else
play directly into the hands of the "Wall
"Street gold gamblers" so called. There is
no help for it. 1t is one of the dis
advantages of cutting loose from the specie
standard. Congress has left the Treasury in a
straight-jacket. The foreign imports are now
heavier at this port than they were year ago.
The customs revenues are large, and the Sec
rotary must make bis choice, either to drain
the gold market and send our merchants to the
Bank of England for coin to pay duties with,
or sell his surplus gold for paper, thereby
actually contracting the "best currency we
"haye ever had" We are here speaking, of
course, of the next four months, for it is OBJ
yious that for several weeks gold will be
abundant. Neither are we predicting any great
calamity. Contraction, under existing circum-
stances, is benefit. On the other hand, if the
Secretary acts on the gold market, the Bank
of England is well stocked with bullion, and
if every dollar that entered the United States
Treasury should be sealed up there for years,
we could import all we wanted from Europe,
free of duty. One steamer-load would pay
the interest on the Public Debt for fifteen
years, which proves that foreigners would not
make much out of the freight

IL is gratifying to find copper smelling added to
the varied industries of Pennsylvania. The Schuyl-
kill Works at Phenixville are, we learn. making
satisfactory progress in that line, having already
smeted ores from Chill. Cuba, and Spain, as well as
from Texas ana Mexico. The article produced
is SO good that the Philadelphia Mint, hitherto sup
piled entirely from Lake Superior recently purchased
$1,000 pounds The success Of this enterprise renders
il probable that the United States will yet steadily
export copper TO Europe.

The President of the bankrupt Freedman's
Savings and Trust Company at Washington
and the cashier of the branch in this city en-
deavor to explain in other columns several
causes of its failure. Little stress is laid on
the chief cause, which was the withdrawal of
deposits in all the branches for investment

rants of the Board of Public Works. Expla-
nations are more plentiful with the Company

Gov. Dix has probably saved the city from
disgrace in interposing to prevent the reap

it will prevent his making certain bad ones,
upon which he seemed obstinately resolved.

THE DEBT STATEMENT.

The Public Debt Statement for June makes
an uncommonly good showing, considering
that June is one of the lightest months in the
year for customs. The net decrease for the
month is S2,1S0,197, and for the fiscal year,
s4,730,47s. But still the ugly facts remain
that the legal tender circulation has
been increased twenty-six millions dur
ing the year, aud that that increase
has been made permanent. This is
proper place to call attention to the fact that
since the first of March the paper circulation
has been in fact contracted nearly eleven mil
lion dollars, and no one has been hurt. The
currency balance in the Treasury has In
creased as follows during the last four months ::

mind to descend 1t was very dark, but
Just rs he began to slide down the trunk
the lover heard dog barking furiously
beneath, and looking down he saw huge
animal Capering about, apparently very
eager to nip the lovers legs. Then the
lover suddenly climbed up the tree again
and endeavOrcd To drive the dog off, but
the more il danced around and barked.
Then the lover came down as near as
he dared and tried to coax the an
imal, but this only made him hop
about and howl more turiously
than ever. So ii became apparent that the
lover would have to spend the night in
the tree He fixed himself as cOmforta-
bic as he could in a crotch of the limbs,
ana kicked his legs and moved his arms
to keep himself from freezing to death
Several times when he thought the dog
was asleep he attempted to descend, but
each time the brute awoke and began to
caper about. BY the time daylight arrived
the lover was so benumbed with cold he
could harily use his hands; but rs the
sky grew brighter he leaned over to exam
inc his prosecutor, and to his amazement
he found that /. was his own dog, which
unknown to him had followed him to the
tree, and had barked and capered only to
express its delight at the prospect of the
lover coming down and going home. The
suddenness with which the lover reached
