a Queer Notion.

Many people thinkit cheaper to buy
% cent sizes of a proprietary medicine.
But they make a mistake. For instance,
DR.. Wistar's Balsam of Wild Cherry
contains about eight tipes the quantity
of ordinary 25 cent cough balsams. Be
sides it takes a less quantity of Wistar's
Balsam to cure a cold. A single dose
is often sufficient. For deep seated
Colds and Consumption it has proven
itself to be the best and quickest cure

Richard j. Tanning, the Demo
cratic Supreme Court Clerk topper,
paid last week into the State Treas
ury of Ohio, 1920 as stolen salary
fees! And we suppose that ends
the matter. Had it been some poor
devil detected in stealing a ham of
meat to feed his furnishing wife and
children, the prison bars would have
cut off his liberty and freedom of
Gods light in less than twenty-four
hours! That is the difference be-
tween the public thief who steals
his thousands to swell in society,
and the petty thief who steals a dol
lars worth of something to keep
soul and body together. How long
will such a condition of things be al
lowed to go on in our country? If
the man who purloins hundreds and
thousands out of the public treasury
receives his freedom and liberty
simply by a restitution of the
amount, why not the person who
steals a suit of clothes, a horse, or
any other property.

FRIDAY MORNING. SEPT. 8.
.auh which we have quoted from the News

graph which we nave quoted from the news
and Courier.
Our contemporary gives southern Democrats
advice SO sound and wise that we cannot help
believing that IL must favor all suitable ln-
stiumentalltleS which promise TO make lts
counsel etfectual. Instead OF opposing the
federal election laws it ought to rejoice at
their enforcement as tending at least to dis
courage the irregular methods which it
rightly says will disgust and repel quiet vo-
ters." If honesty is not only good thing in
itself, but also an expedient thing, whatever
helps to make elections honest ought to be
welcomed. Since President Hayes discontin-
ued the practice of military interference Fed
eral supervision OF elections OF Federal officers
cannot hurt anybody, and 1t may benefit every-
body by removing the injurious assumption,
the existence OF which our contemporary so
candidly admits, that no matter what the vot-
ing may be "the Democratic candidates are
cure to be on top in the counting. Our con-
temporary says that false counting will ode
stsoy the Democracy" but that is very triff-
ling calamity compared with the disgrace and
disaster to popular government which must
ensue If it is once thoroughly understood that
not the popular will, but the frauds of partisan
leaders decide elections.
In the next place we believe that the News
and Courier is intelligent enough to see and
frank enough to say that nothing is more GER
tain to prevent these and other frauds in pub
lie affairs than absolute freedom of discussion
To this end our contemporary, instead of
winking for moment at the suppression of all
political gatherings in South Carolina except
those which are controlled by Democrats, in
stead of contemplating with pleasure the po-
litical solidity of its State ought to rejoice at
every Republican meeting held in South Caro-
lima and ought to give its proceedings the
widest publicity, as the best guaranty against
that destruction of "the Democracy" through
out the country which it looks for as the inevi-
table result of irregular methods that dis
gust and repe, "quiet voters"

National Board of Steam Navigation.

NORFOLK, Va, Sept. 2.-At meeting of
the National Board of Steam Navigation to-
day the following resolutions. after being
amended to the effect that the executive COM
mittee be instructed to prepare a memorial to
the present Congress for the purpose of put
ting them into practicable operation, were
adopted:
NResoved, That this board recommend the
establishment of National Snug Harbor for
those worthy seamen and officers who become
permanently disabled in line of duty, the same
to be under the control of the United States
marine hospital service.
Resolved, That the convention earnestly
recommend to Congress the duty of fostering
a system of training for the navy and lnercan-
tile marine, whereby when once again our flag
shall have at tanned position on the sea COM
mensurate with the dignity and needs of the
country, we shall not be under the necessity
of calling upon captains and crews OF every
nation but our own to command and sail our
merchant ships and shall avoid the shame of
having to man our guns with other than
than American seamen.
A resolution was also adopted unanimously
in favor of the adoption by Congress Of a law
regulating compulsory pilotage In coastwise
vessels, and that the board advocates the regu-
lation Of all pilotage by the general govern
maritime countries of Europe; that the board
again renew its efforts for entire reform in
State laws respecting this subject, and that it
recommends that Congress enact laws by
which the rates of pilotage shall be made uni
form and without discrimination between YES
sells of different States, and that it shall pre-
scribe code of laws and regulations which
shall govern all State boards Of pilots or COM
mlssioners Of pilotage.

TREASURY DEPARTMENT,
OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY,
WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. /, 1880.
james e. MendeYataN, Esq, North Manches-
ter, Indiana:
Sir.-I am in receipt of your letter of 23d
lie debt was larger in 1879 than in 1873, and
that apparently the charge is true, and YOU
desire a statement as to the cause of the in
crease. In reply have to inform you that
the principal of the debt, July 1, 1873 was
50, ,234. .4S2. $780,; on July 1, 1879, it was So,
245, ,495, ,072, showing an increase of the prin-
cipal of the debt for the period mentioned of
S11,012,078. AS an explanation of this in
crease, it will be remembered that during that
period the government sold of bonds, for re-
sumption purposes, $50, 100000; and in addi-
ton thereto, to replace coin used in the pay
ment of the Halifax award, $5,500,000, which
would increase the principal of the debt dur
ing that period S95, ,000 But there were,
meanwhile, redemptions made by purchases
OF bonds with the surplus revenue to such an
extent that the net increase of the principal of
O78.
1t should be remembered, however, that for
all bonds sold Tor resumption purposes, the
Government received and still retains an
equivalent of cash, thus making no increase in
the net total of the debt; but on the other
hand there was a decrease during that period.
On July /, 1873, the principal of the debt, less
cash in the treasury, was 50, 105 ,462 ,O6O. On
July l, 1879 it was 81 1886 Ala ,905, making de-
crease during that period of $108,047 ,155. This
latter amount, however, does not represent the
precise amount of the reduction of the debt as
shown by the monthly statements for in those
statements the amount of accrued interest out
standing at several periods is included and
charged. The amount of the debt June 30,
1873, as shown by the debt statement, which
includes the principal and secured interest,
less cash in the treasury, was 50, ,147 ,81S 713,
50, 1879, was 81, OPT 207 ,256, showing decrease
of S120.611 ,457, which was precisely the
amount of surplus revenue for that period and
the actual reduction on the entire debt. You
will also notice from the statements sent here
with that even the principal Of the debt is
now much less than it was in 1873.
Very respectfully,
j. X. UPToN, Assistant Secretary.
