Hand Shakixr.

Hand-shaking ;of alleged heroes is not
peculiar to Americans. Grant finds the
nuisance fourishing in Scotland. He
thinks it should be abolished.
I'm 1865 it was awful with me; ]
thought | could hardly survive the task.
Ii not only makes the right arm sore, but
1t shocks the whole system and units a
man for writing or attending to other
duties. 1t demoralizes the entire nervous
and muscular system. None but strong
man could 60 through as much of it as ]
did IN 1865. If Mr.. Tilden, who, you
know, is old and not very strong, had been
elected, he would have been obliged to de-
cline the Misunderstanding business to a great
extent, because | don't think his system
would bear the strain of the amount Of il
that would have been expected of him.
The most laborious and injurious hand
shaking is where you stand on an elevation
and reach down A man cannot stand
much of that"
About the only latent genius developed
by Hayes, and of which he boasts, is thil
operation of hand-shaking He shows {
remarkable aptitude for it, and, thus far
in his swinging around the circle, it con
stitutes the principal part of his intellectual
exhibitions.

The expenditures, therefore, have been
steadily reduced with the receipts; there
was a reduction every year, except 1878. In
1876 they we're reduced $l6 l63, SIS, and
in 1877 they were still further reduced
$40, 797, SS9-and for this the country is
indebted to the determined retrenchment
policy enforced by the Democratic house
in the two sessions of the late congress.
There is no reason why the expenditures
should have been considerably more in
1868 than in 1877. The interest charge
was about $33,OOO,00O more, but this
does not explain why the total ex-
pendtures should have been $685.
100000 more. The truth is the
Grant administration was profligate;
il squandered millions on corrupt depart
ment Of justice; other millions on a cor
rupt Indian bureau; other millions again
on an army of supernumerary officials who
had little else to do than draw their pay.
1t has been boosted that the Grant admin
istratiOn paid over $300000,00O of the
public debt; but this falls far short OF
what it ought to have done with the i'm
mense revenues it collected from the DeO
pie. Had the Government under Grant
been as frugally administered as it is now.
there would have been twice 100000, 600
paid on the debt.

Lieut. Henry Beckmann, of Cincinnati.
has bridged the bloody chasm by handing
over to Lieut.. Horace Crane, of Savannah,
a sword and pistol which the former cap
tured from the latter when Fort McAllis
ter, Ga, was taken during Sherman s
march to the sea. Beckmaun Of the
Forty-seventh Ohio saved Cranes life
when he was about to be shot down in the
fort. Crane handled over to Beckmann
his side arms, and the latter retained them
as trophies for thirteen years. Recently
Bockmann learned that his old enemy was
still living in Savannah, and after some
friendly correspondence with him handed
over the sword and pistol, This act sug
gests that much household furniture and
many articles OF virtu, whicl ,changed
hands by force during the rebellion, might
be restored to original and rightful owners
with even more consistency and justice
Arms belonged to the captors, but pianos
and spoons carried with them no such
title.

1t will be seen that there was steady
decrease during this period of ten years,
with the exception of one year, 1870, and
that the revenues for 1877 were $I36.63S,-
507 less than in 1868. At first we would

of its income--how it manages to subsist
on $3.50, 100000 now, when it required
$405, 63S,0SS in 1868. But when we look

nation. These expenditures for the ten

When we compare the present expen-
ditures Of the government with the expen-
ditures under the palmy days Of the late
administration, it is impossible not to be
struck with what we now know was the
amazing extravaganza that prevailed eight
years ago. The receipts for the late fiscal
year ending June 30, were $3.50. 900, 900,
and the expenditures $23S, 66O,0 OO-an
excess of receipts over expenditures, $780,
100000. This surplus is not unusual.
There was surplus, sometimes a very
largo one, during every year of the Grant
administration; one year it was 100000
900. We were told at the time that these
large balances on the right side of the
ledger were evidence of our unwonted
prosperity, and the Republican leaders
could hardly find terms in which to ex-
press what they called the marvellous
growth of the country in wealth and
power. But these large SURPRISES really
represented the excessive taxation the
people were subjected to; they were the
product Of the depletion Of the country
that had ats counterpart in the prohigacy
OF the government.
The net revenues of the government
from 1868 to 1877 inclusive were as given
