GES. GoFF AND Tie ROS..

Mr.. Corr has made it clear that be
does not share IN the claims made by
the Republican organs OF this city, that
his party Will carry West Virginia next
year. He announces It Is his belief
that b. ATKINSON does not want the
Republican nomination Eor Governor.
This Il strong proof Of TIE want Of faith
in Republican success by the Republi-
can bosses; yea, it il proof positive that
they do not expect to elect their candi-
date. Boss ATKINSON would like ex-
ceedingly well to be Governor of West
Virginia; and il he and GOFF-whO
Constitute the Republican party Of the
State-felt the least confidence that the
people would elect their ticket, there is
no reason to doubt his desire for the
nomination. But Mr.. GOFF has trav-
eled that road, ard he will be slow to
advise his bosom friend and co-partner
ID BOssism 10 embark Oh the perilous
tourney.

INSURANCE.

The benefits arising from insurance
have often been extolled and the value
Of good insurance cannot be Overesti-
mated. \ glance at the growt6 OF this
business in the country shows what
wonderful strides it has made. Life in
suTance may he said TO have had its
birth in 1913, and from that time up TO
the present there has been such steady
interest in it that many companies have
been organized. OF course, only those
Of merit have survived the panics which
have occurred. Touching the objects
Of the enterprise, it is well known that
re corner. stone of the institution was
aid in the interest of widows and or
phsns.
As the Manufacturers Gazette con-
ci.ely puts il: at is not business
glowing out of the mecenary instincts
Of a money-lOving aud money getting
people, but one born of the exigencies
OF modern civilized society, and Illus
trating it, higher moral attributes and
u"b!er aim" The extent OF the BUSH
ness can be judged from the statement
that nearly l,OJO,0eO Of our people,
averaging about one in a dozen of our
adult male population, are now en-
rolled in the great army of life-policy
holders, and these last year were car
rying insurance to the amount Of
II .649, iS+,95S, a sum almost as large as
our national debt. The combined assets
of these companies are very much
larger than the circulation of all our
national banks, while their premium
receipts are greatly in excess of the in.
dividual deposits of these banks.

sEssErAKY FoLGER,s REPORT.

The report of the Secretary of the
Treasury, printed in the REGISTER
yesterday, contains some interesting
facts as bearing upon the enormous
wealth of the Treasury, the existence OF
q great surplus revenue and the rapid
extinction OF the public debt to get rid
oft. II Is evident, says one critic, that
Mr.. FoLGER is less concerned about the
surplus revenue than some other peo-
pie, and that he regards paying the ns.
tional debt with il a. the very best use
il can I've put 10, throwing out the dan
ger in il which he sees as likely TO affect
national hank circulation. He is not,
however, opposed 10 modified reduc-
ton OF taxation, provided it does not go
too far, though he is not an enthusiast
on the subject His only direct recon-
mendation on this point Is % abolish
the tax or national bank circulation,
and possibly, also, on whisky and to-
bacco, bur no reduction Of tax on the
former should exceed 10 cents gallon.
In tact, the Secretary is not Over-eager
tLat there shall be any reduction on
whisky, though he Will not oppose it If
should be proposed 10 scale it down TO
i've cents . gallon. He is not in favor
of any tariff revision for the present, or
at least until the present law has been
in operation long enough time 70 in
sure fair test offs merits. Vet he adj
mits that, is s mere means of reducing
revenue the latter is likely to disappoint
its trainers To the extent of $4,000, on
Or more.
Tie Secretary finds il difficult TO con-
ceal his contempt for that method of
disposiDg of the surplus revenue first
advocated by WHARTON BARKER and
imIr we'd uoon by Mr.. BLAINE. He
uses it rs all opportunity to emu hasize
his own views on The advisability Of
paving the debt. and adds that it is uu-
necessary to refer more at length to
the scheme Of exactiEg money from
the people for the purpose Of returning it
10 them By filtering distribution through
the State governments because he
does not assume that such a scheme
will find any favor with Congress or
the people,
Tie whole tenor Of the report is in
the direction of conservatism in the
raising OF revenue and its expenditure.
fit should be deemed advisable to fur
Their reduce the tariff such reduction
should be made on articles OF common
consumption and raw materials which
enter into home manufacture, but, -
was before remarked, for the present
the Secretary wants 10 let the tariff
alone. By such arguments he seems TO
cauy out Republican doctrine to some
extent. The revenue il too large, per-
has, and ought 10 be reduced, but don't
le. Us do it by any means suggested.
Let Us be in favor Of gradual reduction,
but opposed 10 direct means OF reduc-
ton. Let - pretend We want to reduce
the revenue, but stand ready to make Il
a party cry against the Democrats if
they do il. II j. 10 De feared Mr.. Fpi.
GERS report o. r-v-nUe and taxation
lartakes OF much o. that spirit.

FALSE PROPHET MCCLURE.

FL Mahdi MCCLURE of the Philadel-
phia Times has worked himself into q
terrible state over the election of Mr..
CARLISLE to the SpeakershiP. In the
elevation to that Office OF the eminent
statesman Of Kentucky he sees'anOther
Democratic defeat, and assured victory
for the Republican party, whether its
candidate be ARTHUE, BLAINE or
GRANT. He throws up the sponge in
behalf Of the party of the people and
announces that il is beaten already, and
that it has wilfully thrown away its
splendid opportunity to again control
the affairs of the nation. Virginia goes
back TO MAHONE. North Carolina,
Alabama, Louisiana, Tennessee and
West Virginia become doubtful States.
The North is sOlidly srrayed against the
wicked Democracy. such is the situs-
ton, according to the Fake Prophet Of
Philadelphia, and such it has been
made by the election OF JOHS q. CAI
Isle OF Kentucky to the speak
ership OF the House % Repre-
sentatives over SAMUEI. J. RAN
DALI, OF Pennsylvania. II now the
Republicans should nominate BLAINE
they would sweep the north and divide
the South; il they should take Mr.. AR
THUR, even then they would win, but
if GRANT should be their standard bear
er they would Gerry the country by
storm. What the result would be If
FLANAGAN, Of Texas. should be the
Republican candidate, TT MAHDI does
not say, but it is fair to presume that in
his judgment the party would pull

OF all the seasons of the year for ac-
tivity in business, none has so large q
claim on the merchants and shopmen
as the week preceding Christmas. The
merchants prepare especially for it but
with such goods as, if not sold then,
have occasional demands the year
through !; the shops, however that deal
almost exclusively in goods for the
holiday season, if not fortunate to get
them off are burdened with dead stock
on their hands the balance of the year
To such, good weather and active trade
is imperative. The quantity of goods
purchased for the holiday trade has
been very large and if the people
didn't buy ten times as much now as
they did ten years ago, the inevitable
result would be many to carry over.
And the cost of the beautiful things
designed for presents have increased
with the years.
So much for things to enjoy with the
eye. There is another side to the
season, and not the least either-that
which takes hold of the taste. To the
older, and those not so esthetic and
whose means do not allow large expen-
ditures, the chief feature of the holt
days comes in the way of good cheer at
the festive board. That would be
voted a queer Christmas dinner that
was not the best served of the whole
year. For it the turkey is fatted and
Aunt Chloe in the cabin is not satisfied
with anything less than the best goose
on the yard. Before ANOTHER issue OF
the TIMES the day to which the
thoughts of old and young are now
chiefly turned, will have come and
gone, marking an epoch in the lives of
many. The readers of the TINES has
its best wishes for most merry Christ
