Centennial Christian Homes.

The great number Of visitors IN Phil
adelphia, during the Centennial Exhibition,
necessitates the opening of private homes
for board and lodging. Many Christian
families, who are unwilling to open their
doors to promiscuous public, have ar
ranged plan by which they give admission I'd, m
to Christians and their friends. This will
he equally pleasant to Christian people
abroad who may not wish to be associated
with the great variety of characters brought
together in hotels and public boarding
houses.
Ia order to have this select class the price
of board is generally much lower than pre-
walls by other arrangements, varying from
So to $40 a week, and from 81 TO s2.oO
per day. Each family fixes its own price,
and receives It's pay direct from its guest

looking glasses pictures and all the com
forts Of home on a small scale. The tents
are made Of the best cotton canvas, weather
tight, and the inside fitted up with camp
stools, portable tables, carpets and every
thing that is necessary for bodily comfort.
Their general outfit indicates money, and,
indeed, they do not deny that they are
making plenty of it, the men by horse
trading, the women by fortune telling.
They do not do any work themselves, but
keep colored servants to do the work for
them. These negroes are hired and paid
servants, and obey their masters with as
much respect as if they were rich land
owners instead of gypsics. The value of
one of their travelling wagons and tents,
including furniture, bedding, etc, cannot
be less than 81 900 Altogether their gen
eral outfit represents value of between
81. 600 and $4,000.

LET'S all be honest and confess that the cash
system in business is best and safest. If every
body adhered to it, dull times would soon fee
away, and the wall of widows and orphans
and the deep curses of defrauded creditors
would give place to singing. For no bad
debts, no smash-ups, no protested notes, ever
came of cash payment for goods delivered
We honor Oak Hall, the great Philadelphia
Clothing House, for their decided stand on this
principle. OF course they are able to sell
cheaper, because they buy cheaper. Those
who have the cash to spend for clothing can
not possibly get more for it than at Wanamaker
& Browns Sixth and Markest Streets, Phila-
delphia

The railroad war is causing no little un-
easiness among the holders of railway
stocks and securities. This class of invest
ment, never very reliable in the important
item of dividends, is subject to severe de-
preston from ordinary competition, as well
as from the ruinous 'cutting" Of rates be-
tween rival lines. The war now in pro-
grcss between several Of the leading rail
ways Of the country, promises to surpass
in intensity ali that have preceded 1t, and
the effect upon the prices Of stocks, and the
prospective loss Of dividends, are not pleas
ant to contemplate To obtain the bulk of
the Centennial travel is the cause Of the
present contest. 4 correspondent remarks ::
The different routes have advantages each
peculiar to itself The Erie road, now In
the hands of receiver, with stock at IA
and under no necessity Of making a divi-
dend. has the advantage afforded by this
condition Of things. The Baltimore and
Ohio road has short route and has never
watered its stock. which is now worth near
ly 200. 1t pays ten per cent. The Pennsyl-
vania Central runs over extensive beds OF
coal aud thus obtains cheap fuel. The
New York Central is a long route, but has
the advantage of being in perfect running
order. There is the necessity of paying
eight per cent. dividend but this only ex-
tends to Buffalo. The Lake Shore road Is
not expected to pay any dividend under
present circumstances. This accounts for
the recent decline in its stock, which has
touchad 53 but is now 3D.

The Democratic press has repeatedly
charged that the monthly Treasury debt
statement was not an honest statement of
the Governments assets and liabilities.
Some months ago q Democratic member of
Congress introduced q resolution of in
quiry as to certain assets, and brought out
a statement that was not understood. But
in causing that statement to be made the
liability side was made up to show q
balance outside of the pablo debt state
ment 1t was a question of contraction or
expansion in some minds, but as the
liability side was not asked for, it was not
given. The Washington correspondent of
the New York Bulletita, wholly non
partisan journal, has prepared, from official
data, table showing to a penny the
liabilities and assets of the Treasury for
January .25, this year, exclusive Of any
balance in National bank depositaries which
is an absolute answer to any question that
may be asked from any source. The assets
and liabilities tally to cent, the total be-
ing s190,778,043 24. The Washington
Republican says it is the first and only full
balance sheet of the kind ever made up
since the Government was founded. The
only part of it that appears In the public
debt statement is the Treasurers general
account of coin and currency, amounting
to $50, $4,000. The only point at issue,
and which called forth this extraordinary
statement, was the question whether the
legal tenders, specially deposited to redeem
national bank currency and as the five per
cent redemption reserve, were sealed up
and pigeon-holed or used in the regular
business of the Treasury. 1t is fact that
these special deposits are not pigeOn-holed,
and that they are used i'll the regular bust
ness of the Treasury but it is also fact
that the currency balance has never been
so low that the legal tenders on hand for
offsetting these liabilities was less than the
full amount of the liabilities. This matter
was tested two years ago, when the paper
money in the Treasury was the lowest, and
there were about two millions above the
necessity. At the time the balance was
struck there were little over SCI ,OOO,
600 of legal tender liabilities, and a little
over SIT 900, 900 legal tenders to meet
them. OF course these legal tender deposits
are not sealed up and sent to Washington
to await demands, or they would be on the
cars all the time, to the great expense of
the banks. Neither could they be sealed
up and held as separate packages, for the
pigeon holes of the vaults would be too
small to hold them so, and the trouble
would require large appropriation from
Congress- They are held as special deposits,
The identical notes are not paid back, but
dollar for dollar of legal tenders is returned
for such deposits, and an excess of legal
tenders is always held to meet the possible
demand. In other words, the legal tenders
in the Treasury and sub-Treauries is never
less than the amount deposited. This
statement ought to settle that matter at
once and forever during Republican
whose policy is absolute
good faith
