From these figures it appears that the Treas
ury owns 1876, 0OO, 900 less gold than it did q
year ago, and $40. 600. 900 more silver. 1t has
about Sc, 1000, 900 more silver certificates out
standing, and S34,000,000 more gold certid-
Gates, having thus added about $40, 900, 900 to
the paper currency. or Immediate claims
against the Treasury, tho excess of maturod
bonds and interest thereon over such bonds
held Is now $2,00U,000, and was nearly
22,000,000 a year ago, but the excess of in
debtedness to banks over notes held is now
$1S,0O0,000, and was $41 100000 year
ago. Tho striking feature in the report is the
substitution of $4,000 900 in silver for as
much gold in the Treasury reserves. Though
the Treasury has also lost $4,000, 900 more
gold, that may be attributed to other causes,
but the loss of $40, 900, 900 is plainly due to
the coinage of silver dollars and the continued
use of silver certificates. lnasmuch as the sill
yer certificates, though nominally redeemabe
in silver Only, actually come in through the
Custom House in place of gold, and dimir
ish the gold receipts to like amount, 1t
does not appear that the Treasury has very
large reserve with which to continue the I'M
profitable experiment.

THE DEBT STATEMENT.

Since December 1, the amount OF three and
| one-half per cent bonds bearing interest has
been reduced from $l34,317,700 to $99,326,-
| 900. Bonds of the call that matured December
| % have been taken from the interest bearing
list, and about So, 0OO 600 of them are included
with debt on which interest has ceased, the
remainder having been paid. In addition,
S9.169, 200 of the three and one-half per cents
have been exchanged for three per cents; the
amount of the latter now outstanding Is
1888, 563, $50 Thus the principal OF the In
terest- bearing debt is reduced below $l,4OO,-
900. 900; it is now 81, 800, 245,450, and was
Sl,554, 534, 600 at the beginning of the year.
Even this decrease of $162, 100000 in the
principal of the interest bearing debt does net
tell quite the whole story, for the Treasury also
holds bonds amounting with interest thereon
to S2S.721, $50 50, against bonds with interest
amounting to only $S,073,474 at the begin
ming of the year. These bonds draw interest
nominally but are really paid, so that the de-
crease in debt bearing interest has been about
$lS2, 90, 600 during the year 1882. The yearly
interest has been reduced over $7,OOO,OOO
since January, 1882, and is now only
Sj3, 400, 900.
ury during the month of December was
S!5,4l3,223. II was sweled by nOn-paymcnt
of large amount due for pensions, and by
receipt of the $1,000 900 bequeathed by Mr..
Lewis, but would have exceeded 100000
without these additions. The apparent cash on
hand is sweIed by the bonds held, aud by the
deposit of S2O,000,O00 for gold certificates
now outstanding. There was also an increase
of 81 100000 in amount OF silver certificates
outstanding But after deducting all cash
items except gold and silver. the liabilities due
on demand are $39G,000,000. and not
81 .0OO, 900 less than they were December i.
But the gold not covered by certificates out
standing is $40, Sl9,556 Oh less than it was
December /, being now only $l3l ,9S9.75S 80.
So great decline in the gold reserve IN
single month"; at a time when gold was NOM
inally paid in for over $20.0O0,000 of ccrtiii-
Gates, may we'll lead to some remark. The
truth is that receipt of actual gold tor tho GER
tiicatcs is rare ; they are paid for through the
Clearing House, and their issue virtually can
GELS claims against tho Treasury for bonds and
other matters. But more important fact is
that the payment of gold to tho Custom House
for duties has almost entirely ceased at this
point. The certificates. gold or silver, are now
used in payment of more than nine-tenths of
the duties.

THE xLvOp ayD THE PARK BOARD.

Mayor Edison follows the example of Mayor
Grace year ago in his message, and speaks IN
O despairing way of the un0rganized Park
Department. Bnt what is he going to do
about 1t He is the one man responsible
since the hour Of his Inauguration for
this Board. He has no right to wait
for some action by the State. Relief from
Albany may come, let us hope, but that Is
remote and the Mayors obligation is instant.
Mayor Grace and the Aldermen together have
failed to fill two vacancies, and here is the new
Mayors duty and opportunity. He may make
midnight appointments as Mayor Cooper did,
with no clearly understood meaning to the
public. He may make some political
dicker as his predecessors have done almost
constantly. He may nominate man OF such
recognized character and attanments that even
Board of Aldermen will shrink from the
responsibility of rejecting his name. But he
must do something, for delay is confessed
failure.
On q former occasion THE TRIBUNE named
Daniel Huntington as representing the type OF
man to be selected for such service. Inc
President of the National Academy of Design Is
of necessity man of repute and ability, and the
appointment of one who officially represents
the artists of the city would be recognition
of the artistic value of the Park and safe
guard against the brutalities which have been
perpetrated under administrations with no
sense or appreciation of the worth of the Park
landscapes. OF course, the citys resources
in available Park Commissioners are not
limited to n single name. But Mayor Edison
will disappoint the cty's hope if he nominates a
man for any other reason than that of known
ami accepted fitness for the duties of the posi-

The projectors of a second Broadway under
| the present one are congratulating themselves
| that the decision of Judge Daniels removes
| the chief legal obstacle in the way OF the
| success of the scheme. We think they are a
| trihe sanguine. Have they no thought OF the
number of injunctions that Will be shaken at
them by angry prOperty-owners as soon as
the work is actually begunf There are fasci-
mating features about the project; but despite
| the cheerful estimates of the engineers most
practical people will have little hope OF ever
| seeing it carried out. It seems too big thing
| to be accomplished for a million and half
mile However, this is an age of great engi-
| neering projects and successes.
The members of the House did piece Of
| work yesterday upon which they and the coun-
| try are to be heartily congratulated. The
| Civil Service bill was reported by Mr. Kasson
| and passed. after half an hours discussion, by
| a vote Of 155 to AZ. The measure is exactly
! as it came from the Senate. The committee had
| intended at first to correct what they
considered to be some minor errors, but
| finally, to save time, 1t was decided to
| report it just as it stoDd. The Representa-
| tives who made objections to the bill did
so chiefly on the ground that it was
| not complete. The majority, however, showed
excellent Judgment in deciding that If
the measure was not the best which could be de-
vised, still it was the best that would be
offered at this session. So they rushed 1t
| through. Now if the Senate and House will
| act with equal promptness in regard to the
| two other great measures demanded by the
people-the Tariff bill and the reduction of the
| internal revenue-the record of the XLVllth
| Congress, for this session, at least, will have
the warm and hearty approval of the entire
| country.
The Chamber of Commerce yesterday was
occupied by a long discussion on the subject
of shipping. Mr.. Elwell presented report
| and resolutions commencing the shipping BILL
Mr.. Schwab pointed out the anomaly referred
| to by THE TRIBUNE of proposing bounty
and calling it drawback The committee
suggest another complication in the bill
arising out of this proposal. The amount OF
drawback is to be indorsed on the ships pa
pers and refunded to the Government If the
vessel should ever be transferred from the
foreign to the home trade. The committee
propose that all rigging or material carried
away at sea should be struck off the Endorsed
drawback also that at the end of each five
years 40 per cent of the value of cordage, rig
ging and other materials should be deducted
on the ground of wear and tear. The more
these clauses are debated the clearer it be-
comes that they offer two prolific opportuni-
ties for fraud-frst, in ascertaining the amount
payable by the Government as drawback, and
secondly, in the amount recoverable by the
Government on any transfer of the vessel from
the foreign to the home trade.

Those members of the House who were hurt
because the Secretary of War expressed the
opinion some time ago that money had been
appropriated by the River and Harbor bill for
works which were not necessary, will have to
bear their pain as best they may. They called
for bill of particulars in an angry tone.
But the Secretary coolly replies that he does
not care to furnish one, that 1t was the
business of Congress to give the matter all
the consideration necessary before the bill
was framed.

Breaking the Sad News.

The Telegraph of the sth says:-There has
been aroused in the Telegram readers deep
interest in the fate of the bright, intelligent,
faithful German girl who came across the
continent to meet lover who has been dead
two weeks by his own hand, because he
thought the girl unfaithful. The Tacoma
Ledger of yesterday says that Mrs. Locke
broke the sad news to the poor girl Wednes-
day. After some preliminaries, the lady, as
gently as possible, told the girl of his death,
carefully emitting the fact that it was by
suicide and constituting it accidental. Miss
Zinrom was unconsolable for some hours
thereafter, despite all that could be said to
soothe her feelings. However, after time
she constrained to listen to reason. 1t is
thought by her friends, therefore, that she
will, in short time, measureably get over
the sorrow at present unavoidable. Her
sister and brother-in-l law are en- route to
Tacoma via Panama, and when they arrive
she will have home, and will at least be
among friends. They are expected to arrive
here in about three weeks. Meantime her
friends will make her entirely comfortable,
and no serious fears of her welfare need be
entertained.

Rip Roaring Runaway.

On Sunday forenoon 7. ). Blair, accom-
panied by his two daughters, were out en-
joying buggy ride few miles southwest
of the city and when near the residence of
Mr. Henk1e the ponies for some cause be-
came unmanageable and scampered off at a
lively rate. The female portion of the par
ty concluded they had ridden long enough
and climed out of the buggy in a manner
neither pleasant nor graceful, leaving T. J:
to manipulate the ribbons and enjoy the
jolts and jars of the whizzing vehicle alone
They were soon brought to a stop, however,
and after unhitching the ponies young lad
was asked to hold them while Mr.. B. took
a look at the broken springs and mutilated
conveyance. While thus engaged the ponies
broke loose from the boy and after kicking
down several rods of fence they ran into a
field and the antics and eccentricities there
displayed far outdone any trick mule
that ever entered ring in circus. They
were again captured and with considerable
trouble and inconvenience the party return
ed to town but very little injured, but the
buggy was little the worse of wear.
