Socialism is something that is hardly
understood in the United States, but it
has obtained foothold in some Of the
larger cities and is likely to gain adher-
ents in hard times, and especially, if it
is seen that the states and federal gov
ernments are controlled by capital and
1nonopolists. What the socialists actu-
ally want may be considered as authori-
i lively set forth BY the national socialistic
+ congress" lately dat Baltimore which
says: 'That the resources of Gfe-name-
ly, land, the means OF productions, pub
lie transportation and exchanges--be-.
come, as fast as possible, the property
of the whole people. We demand the
entire revision Of the United States con-
.stitution, 70 the end that a a5certain num-
%ber OF citizens shall have the right to

To the board of directors Of the Northern

thereby offer my resignation as president
of your board. j feel constrained to take
this step for two reasons; one is, am suf-
fering from nervous prostration, which rem
ders me no longer capable of properly dis
charging my o1fcial duties, and my ply
sicians advise absolute absentation from all
active employment as a condition Of the re-
covery of my health. The other reason is
that, ii my own opinion, no less than in
that of my personal and business friends,
the interests Of the company
call for the severance of my COL.
naction with it. It is a sad
rejection that such should be the unjust re-
suit ot ye rs ofsevere labor and consuming
anxiety which I have spent in my endeav-
and tc the best st by ability. But my feel.
iDgs shall not stand in the way of the vel.
fare Of the stock holders. / am consoled by,
an abiding conf dence that the future will
completely vindicate all j have done. /

the privilege OF submitting to you a SUM

ia conclusion, my sincere thanks for the
cordial support and appreciatiYe sym mpathy

Analysis Of the Public Debt State
g }f ment for December. -

& WAsHINGToN, Special Telegram, Jan. D
The December debt statement issued to-day
shows q reduction Of $l1,743, ,337 for the
month"; large gain over last months de.
crease, when it amounted to. only ST., ,721,.
,67G. It was much less, however, than the
reduction for December, 1882, when it
reached $15, ,4l3, ,222. The decrease for the
first half of the fiscal year, which closes with
December, foots up $53, ,O49, ,483, against
$81, ,37O,7S3 for the first six months of
1882 # continued at the present rate, the
reduction for the entire fiscal year ending
June 80, 1884, would be about $1O6, ,0OO,-
900; but this is not a safe plan of estimate
for although the first half of the last fiscal
year showed a reduction Of over $751;
100000, the total decrease for the
fiscal year amounted to but $137,-
823,OOO.a The estimate of the secretary
Of & the treasury for the current
fiscal year contemplates an appropriation OF
P45, SIG, 900 to the sinking fund, and a sur
plus revenue in addition Of $3.50, 1873 900, 9
total Of some $85, 100000, to be applied to
the xtinguishmeAt Of the national debt; as
the first half Of the year has yielded about
two thirds of this amount, it is fair TO expect
that the net surplus at the close of the year
will overrun the estimate somewhat, The
available cash balance on hand appears to be
$142, $50, 900, according to the statement
This is not the actual fact, to-day, however,
for this morning the january fours and some
Pacific railroad, interest on which has tc
be paid by the government, was taker
out OF the cash to the amount Of about
So, 900, 900. So that In reality the available
cash is down to about P134, 900, 900, or owe,
81, 600, 900 below the usual 40 per cent re-
serve. The statement for December, 1882
showed an available cash balance on shanc
amounting to $l49, ,O37,:773. The receipt,
for the six months closing with Decembe
are of interest as showing the effect Of the
new tariff law. They show that the falling
off has been about $28, SOC, 900, Indicating:
decrease for the year of $$;57, ,o0O,0 900. Th,
estimated decrease by the secretary OF th
treasury for the current year was $44, 900,
