Our Surplus Revenue.

Chicago Times interview: Gen.
Green B. Raum, Commissioner of
Internal Revenue, was asked to give
his views on the subject Of the sur
plus revenue in the national treasury,

internal taxes.

paying the national debt entirely too
fast. II we keep on as fast as we
are going, the entire debt will be paid
off inside Of forty years. We could
abolish the intire internal taxes cx-
cept those on whisky and tobacco"
He thought that the heavy surplus
was dangerous to the Government in
chat it led to extravaganza by the
party in power Speaking of the tax
on sugar, he said he would, person
ally, be willing to pay the Louisiana
men bonus, in order that the best

In his address at the opening of
the Wisconsin State Fair, Governor
Rusk said: agriculture is the foun-
dation of the business and prosper
ity of the whole country. When the
toll of the farmer is utterly lost
when, after planting and tending and
waiting, the harvest time brings the
harvest to him, every industry and
every interest instantly feels it. How
completely series of crop failures,
or even of short crops, paralyzes the
business Of the country! So series
OF good crops stimulates every bust
ness and revives every dropping in
dustry. The railroad lines lengthen,
the rolling mills arc busy, the iron
mine, the saw mill, the lumber camp,
are all scenes Of activity, and every
instrument of commerce is in use.
The hum of the machinery is the
natural accompaniment to the songs
of the harvest field. The daily pub
lished kilograms from the money
centres of the world is an unconscious

A Horrible Death.

No novelist ever devised more In
tenscly dramatic and pitiful situa
alton than was witnessed last week
beside the track Of the Southern Pa
cific Railroad near Alameda, Cal.
There was an accident on the road,
owing to the sinking Of part Of the
track. The engine was overturned,
and the fireman, Dan Driscoll, was
caught by two iron bars, one Of which
crossed his breast and the other one
Of his feet. He was not severely in
jured by this, but the bars held him
inextrcably fast, and meantime, on
both sides Of the track, which at this
point lies on low trestle bridge built
across long stretch Of marsh land,
the salt tide pouring in from the Bay
Of San Francisco was rapidly rising.
1t was evident that unless speedily
removed he would be drowned. Six
men laborcd with desperate energy
to save him. They wrapped sheets
about his body and exerted their
combined strength to pull him from
beneath the bars that pinned him to
the track. He cried piteously that
they were killing him. They tried
again and again but without avail.
A levee was built around his head to
keep the water from reaching him.
Buckets were brought, and as the
water oozed in, it was bailed out.
Then they raised his head and held
it as high as possible above the wa
ter. For two hours these labors were
ccaselcssly continued, but at the end
Of that time, the levee broke, and
the friends Of the doomed man found
that they could do no more for him.
The water rose rapidly. about his
body and reached his chin. Then
all caught hold of him and tugged
desperately in vain. A friend held
his hand over the unfortunate mans
mouth, but the water rose to his nos
trils, and he was drowned in the
presence of the helpless crowd.

THIS Is TRUE.

Prof. j. Baldwin, in one Of his i'd
mirable and timely articles on school
management, says very truly that
teaching must be made more rcmun-
erative. Excepting California, no
state or country adequately remuu-
crates the common school teacher.
Short terms aud low wages arc fatal
to efficiency. Tee dollars less per
month decides the average school
board to employ an inferior teacher.
So long as we pursue the ruinous
policy Of exacting dollars worth Of
work for fifty cents just so long w
fail to secure efficient teachers. Tai
ent commands its price. Adequate
compensation is absolutely essential
in order to secure the mos. worthy
men and women for our teachers.
Henry Ward Beecher, in speaking
of teachero, says; "'rhere is no pro-
feesion so exactipg, none that breaks
