A Reasonable Charge.

The Democratic platform in its ar
raignment of the Republican party
speaks OF "a secretary of the treasury
forcing balances in the public accounts"
as one of the products of President
Grants administration. We do: not
know that the implied accu ltion IN this
is true; we are not prepared to assert
that any secretary Of the treasury has
"torced balances in the public accounts"
But there are enormous dissgreements in
the different treasury reports of the same
items-and no ex-secretary of the treas
ury has been able to explain the phe.
nomenon, although one of them Mr..
BoutwelD has made several attempts
to do 1t. For example: The treasury
report of 1873 Mr.. lRichardson's) states
on page V, that the debt was reduced
that year $43 1902, 954; but on page TX OF
the same report, the debt for 1873 is
stated at 81, 1853, 25l 1923, and for the year
1873 Fat $z,I84, 49,, 993-s decrease of
only $l8,76S, 1886. Here is discrepancy
in the same official report of $24, 624,6l9.
Again: in the treasury report for 1874
INT. Bristow's) the reduction OF the
debt for that year is stated on page. VIII
to have been $5,762,44 while on page
IN the debt for 1873 is stated at $2,234,-
1872, 993, and for l874at $2,25l, $50, 46S-
an increase of $l7,207,475. Here is
discrepancy of $4,000, 429. Which of
these statements is correct? Was the
debt reduced in 1873 81, 393,654, or only
Sl8,768,3352 And was it reduced in
1874 $5,762,4 All, or increased ST. 1906, 4752
In the report of 1870 the debt for 1862
is stated at $5l4,2ll.37l, while in the
report for 1871, the debt for this same
year, 1862, is stated at 1924, l76,4l2
The two reports make similar different
statements of the debt for the years 1864,
1869 and 1870, and the aggregate discrep.
ancles amount to the Enormous sum of
1929, 80. 44O- The dlsci epancies in the
two reports statement of the debt for
1869, 1867 and 1868 amount 10 $48,86a,
939.
In the report for 1869, the pension
exper ditures for the year 1S64-j5 are
stated at S., 29l 500, while IN the report
for 1870 they are stated to have been
for that same year (lS54-'65) SIC, BAL 2l
The war expenditures for lS62-'63 are
stated in one report to have been $685.
298 COO, and in another report $6O3,3l4,
Ala difference of $4,0l5,SOO. The
Indian expenditures for 1868, are stated
in one report at SLOTS. 1876, and in an
other ut So, l52, OBJ.
These startling discrepancies which
no one has been able to explain, and
which the Republicans of the Senate seem
determined not to have explained. GER
tainly warrant the charge IN the Demo-
cratic platform that balances have been
forced in the treasury accounts.

Plankod Shad.

Col. T. w. Knox In the Chicago Tribune.
Did you ever eat . plsnked shadf No.
Well, then, your life thus far has been .
failure; you have wasted your time and
neglected opportunities, and must look
upon the days that have parsed since
your birth as years Of zero. Now, here
goes to tell you about the finest food that
can be used TO spoil an appetite. You
know the shad, or if you don't know him
you know of him. In New York they
FRY or broil or bake him; but at Glou-
cester Point they plank him-and they
have artists who can do it-and transfer
the fish TO the wood as we'll as Landseer
used to transfer dog to canvas. a
plank, generally of ceder, two ieet long,
q foot wide and two inches thick, Is taken
and with il q shad. The fish, properly
split through the back and dressed, is
lain upon the plank, with the OUTSIDE
out, and secured in place by few naiis:
Then the whole arrangement is placed
before the FIRE and the shad is cooked Dy
the heat. When he and you are ready
it is brought to the table and placed De-
fore you. A little salt and less pepper
with collaterals of stewed corn, green
peas and tomatoes, bread, butter, and
such odd TRIES, and your planked shad
has gone where the woodbine twineth.
When you four have eaten an entire
shad, and thought you have had enough
they bring you another plank with an.
other and larger shad upoa 1t. ioI eat
this also, and then you will set PACK IN
ysur arm chair, 60 TO sleep, and dream
you are q mud turtle who has got on bis
back and can't get over again. They
wake you, and you come home feeling at
first much like an anaconda that has
swallowed mule with shoes and har-
ness on, but after time you find the
food easy of digestion, and are prepared
to vote early and often for the man VINO
invented plsnked shad.
