WAsHIsGToE, March 31.-The monthly
debt statement, which will be issued April
l, will contain some new features. A new
form will be adopted, and the presentation
of the assets and liabilities will be simplifed.
Among the changes to be made are the fol-
lowing: The $50, 600, coo Of fractional silver
will be deducted from the available cash
The silver and.gold certificates held By the
Treasury will be removed from the available
assets, and at the same time be deducted
from the outstanding silver and gold csrtfi.
catss set down among the liabilities. The
most i'm portsnt change, however, will be the
adding of the indebtedness eff the Pacific
Railroads TO the debt of the United States
This will increase the total debt by over
500. COO eco. This change OF statement will
in no way affect the actual indebtedness.
The Pacific Railroad indebtedness has al
ways been regarded IS q Government oblige-
ton, inasmuch as it consists of United
States bonds and interest for the payment
of which the Government is liable. The CD
ject Of the remodsling of the debt statement
is to present to the public statement which
can be easily understood.

mated that one third the money that mer.

Can't they settle without a bankrupt
law?

and bankers were williDs bat they are not

The Growing Day.

From the Hartford (COnn.) Times. January 9Th
Now begins again to those who note the charac-
teristics Of the winter day that stage in the in
crease of the days length at which the increase
becomes decidedly percepttble. During this month
the increase in the duration OF daylight amounts
in this latitude to 49 minutes-Or only II minutes
short OF an hour. 1t seems good to see the days
grow longer. 1t is an annual experience; but when
for observing and thinking persons Will 1t ever lose
its interest or its welcome character? Here in the
chill north, when the sum- although in reality much
nearer to us than In summer, Is nevertheless at
such low southern angle that we lose great
share NOT only OF its heat, but even of its light the
signs Of Its return are naturally welcome, and be-
come subject Of more interest than they ever can
be after we have once fairly put the harsh reign OF
the ice and the shadow securely behind US and
really entered upon The full tide Of tina beauty OF
the spring. We can now, shut up here in the chill
shadow OF the long northern winter, take inter-
