REPUBLICAN administrations of the
Treasury have paid off $685., 7,1O4, 1923 of the
national debt, and have reduced the annual
interest charge S7O,OOO,0 900. All this has been
done against the angry protest and deter
mined opposition of the Democratic party.
Yet some of the Greenbackers condemn the
Republicans because the debt is not dis
charged faster and purpose to boost into
power the Democratic party that has fought
against the payment of even dollar of it.

THE LATEST TROUBLE.

Tor OO-the minimum IN arithmetic. InlS
discretion in framing a judgment of the pu-
pills intelligence of the study forms the diff
cult exercise of the examiners task. The
examiner makes up report of the marking,
and this goes 10 the Board of Education.
The papers are also filed there. Superin-
tendent Landes examined the papers of the
first grade of the Capital Grammar School,
and found that the true credits aggregated more
than those contained in Mr.. Adams report.
Close inspection shows that first writing of
credits had been erased on the pupils papers,
and second writing made of lower credits
in all but two cases. The erased credits had
been aggregated in total, but this total had
also been erased, and the new total put down.
In all these cases the true credit was ten per
cent. greater than that reported by the ex-
aminer. This true record of standing,
100 for seven pupils, 9S for three,
one, and so on down to 81,
is considered remarkable approach to per-
lection. The inference capable of being
drawn from these facts, unexplained, is that
the record being so very high for all the pu-
pills would have attracted attention, and have
invited inquiry and investigation, and hence
the reduction and erasures. 1t is also con-
sidered as sustaining theory that the class
had been crammed," if not positively sup
piled with key 10 TIE questions OF with
the questions, or that their teacher had prior
knowledge of them.
At the conclusion of the Capital Gram
mar School exercises yesterday, Mr.
johnson took the first grade to its
classroom, and in the presence of the Board
of Education asked the pupils if they had
seen or heard of the identical questions used
at examination prior thereto. The scholars

 has passed the threatened danger of the fire.
 It is smouldering in patches, but patrols are carefully watching any outbreak. South of Toms river, toward Woodnansee, the fire is still raging, and is said to be envsloping Broadway, Rosenhayn and Now Shamong, and destroying many houses. The district IS
 densely populated. David EstsI at Herberts- vile loses 5000 cords of market wood, valued
 at $2 per cord. Capt. Pierce loses 800 acres of fine timber. The damage to the cranberry bogs is $50, ,000. The red cedar woods in this vicinity are the most valuable in the country. The fire in the vicinity of Manchester is now under control. The track covers the entire western part of Ocean county, beginning at
 the head of the wood and extending to Man.

 past woodland fires have prevailed in Virginia,
 extending over large areas in the counties of
 Prince George, Dinwiddie, Chesterfield and

 number of stables and outhouses were de- stroyed. In fighting the flames two or three persons were burned to death. The fires are still burning.

Grant First, Last and Always
 RICHMOND, April 16.-The Richmond con vention for the State of Virginia will meet at Stanton on next Wednesday. All the dele gates have now been elected, so that the com plexion and purpose of the convention can be pretty well foreshadowed. The convention will be almost unanimous for Grant with 8 dismal sprinkling for Blaine and Sherman. Delegates will be sent to Chicago instructed to vote for Grant first, last and all the time. The probabilities are that no electors will be ap- pointed by the convention, but that the State Central Committee will bs given power to ap- point them.
 General Mahone's convention of Repudie- tors will mset in Richmond on the 7th of July It will appoint eleven electors, six of whon will be Repudiators who have not here tofore been Republican, and five straight out Republicans This is expected to bs an un- pledged electoral ticket, which will cast it's vote where it will do the most good. The authority given the State committee will in- clude power to adopt this ticket as the Re- publican electoral ticket. Many leading Re- publicans predict that the committee will not endorse the Malone ticket.

THE NATIONAL CAPITAL.

The ClaytOn-HulWer TreaGy-Its AbrO
 gation Recommended.
 WASHINGTON, April 16.-The report trans mitted by Mir Cox day, from the Commit tee on Foreign Affairs, relative to the Clayton Bulwer treaty and interoceanic canal, says the question is one which affects our foreign rela- tions and overrides all material interests con- nected with commerce. The committee agree with the policy announced by President Hayes in his message lately that an interoceanic canal must be under the supervision of the United States. The committee find the prin- ciple of an American protectorate over transit recognized in its application to the Panama railroad, and in it's application to the proposed interoceanic ship canal by the treaty of 1841 with Nicaragua. That treaty was not ratified by the United States, because it was feared it would provoke war with Great Britain. That treaty was intended to resist the encroachment of Great Britain, which claimed protectorate over the Mosquito king dom. The correspondence of Minister Clayton with the British Government is then reviewed and the committee say the attitude of the Amer ican Secretary of State at that time was inconsistent alike with the dignity and inter est of the United States. The correspondence with the then British minister, Crampton, was reviewed. The committee say all this correspondence were blupders, the final out come of which was the Clayton-Bulwer treaty of 1850, by which the United States entered into part partnership with Great Britain to supervise and protect any canal or railroad built across the Isthmus, both agreeing not to assume any dominion over Nicaragua, Costa Rica, the Mosquito coast or any part of Gen. tral America. Acts of aggression on the part of Great Britain are then referred to until in 1853 when the Senate declared the treaty virtually nulli6ed by Great Britain. The report goes on to relate tn ediplomatic efforts to make an acceptable treaty, all of which were failures. President Buchanan recommended the abrogation of the Clayton Bulwer treaty, because the two countries understood it in. directly opposite senses. The committee then note the fact that the outbreak of the civil war diverted attention from Central America and the Clayton Bull wer treaty lapsed into oblivion, from which 1t has recently been evoked. It appears now as an obstacle in the way of Q pacific assertion of the sound and vigorous policy laid down in President Hayes message. The committee therefore recommend it's abroeation, because it has always been in- operative either to guarantee the indepen- dence of Central American States or to ad- vance the general interest of commerce. So long as it has even formal shadow of existence it will cloud and obscure the sim pie, just and equitable policy of the United States in regard to an interoceanic canal. The resolution was ordered printed and re- committed, as the committee has taken no definite action upon it.
