THERE is some curiosity to know
what has become of the late surplus in
the United States Treasury that the
Democrats talked 30 much about in the
late campaign. According to Demo-
cratic estimates 1t ran as high as two
hundred million dollars, and as Demo
Gratis are q1ite too good to lie, we mus,
of course accept their statement as the
hard, honest truth. This large surplus
of course came into Democratic hands
when Mr.. Manning took the Treasury
portfolio. 1t seems now, though, tha
Mr. Manning, after being in Office two
months, can find but twenty-four mil
lion dollars in the Treasury. This is
great come down from two hundred
million. If what the Democrats sale
in the campaign was true and what Mr.
Manning now reports as to the none,
in the Treasury is true, then one hun
dred and seventy-six million dollars 0
the surplus must have been spent sine
the Democratic administration set in
and if the Democrats keep on at th
same rate Of spending money the in
creased debt of the United States il
1888 will be a serious matter.

ern neighbors, who seek an outlet by
sea and more salubrious climate. To
epitomize, the English hold on the East
is artificial, the Russian movement in
that direction is natural. England
will probably triumph in the coming
war and in several others, but by a
logged persistancy rather that by con-
quest, Russia will eventually accom>
plish her purpose. -CTarksville Chroni-
Gle.
In the above the Chronicle seems to
have overlooked the great secret OF
England's advance and supremacy
around the globe. England has car
ried the Bible into all her conquests
and possessions, and her tendency has
been to raise and elevate the people
over whom she sways her scepter.
And mo people have ever failed to rise
to higher plane of civilization in
giving allegiance to the English crown,
with perhaps the single exception OF
Ireland, and this exception is due to
the supremacy in the Irish mind Of
the hierarchy of Roman Catholicism.
On the other hand, Russia's policy has
ever been to grind her subjects under
the iron heel of a tyranical and ungod-
ly despotism. The people who have
become subject to Russia's rule have
refrigerated under cruel system Of
oppression, instead of rising above
themselves, as in the case of England's
conquests. Russia's greatness will
never illumine the world to any great
extent, nor her hold upon new posses
sions ever become very firm until she
mounts the ladder of civilization above
the round of despotism.

An occasional howl of rage in the
Republican morning paper announces
that the official head of Republican
worker has fallen into the place of
wailing and gnashing of teeth, but as
yet this good work has hardly begun.
There will be more of it anon and if
the Republican paper is going to howl
about such little thing as chopping
off official heads, it will have to issue
double sheet and an extra edition.
Some Democrats are impatient at
the delsy in discharging a class of
Republicans who are VIGOROUSLY unfit
for their places; but these should res
fleet that it requires time to select the
proper substitutes, and consider the
tremendous difficulties that confront
the Administration. There are knottv
legal questions to be considered in the
matter and manner of removals. 1t
would be just as reasonable to substi>
tute a full force ii new employees in a
watch factory at single stroke as to
contend that the President should at
once turn the Republicans out and re-
place them by Democrats.

the most fattering description. Some
of the ladies of society here paid par

was that society was in safe hands and
no disagreeable frictions would occur.

The Extra Session.
Nashville Union

Nashville Union.
A Union reporter learned from a
personal friend. of the Governors at
the Capitol, yesterday, that he had
been taking considerable trouble to
ascertain what time would be most
suitable for the calling together of the
Legislature. From the information
gathered it is said that he has chosen
Monday, May 3, as the day, this being
the time most suitable to the farmers.
Every other report that was aAoat
yesterday, concerning the calling of
the extra session, was investigated, but
seemed to have no foundation, and is
but idle speculation. No one knows
whether the Governor will include
the Registration bill in his call or not.
He will return to the city from New
Orleans about the first of next week.

England and Russia

If England is victorious in the pend
ing conflict with Russia the arbitra-
ment of arms will not be a fnality. In
fact, it will be necessary for England
to whip Russia every twenty years to
prevent the egressions of that nation
southwark.
If Russia is victorious, the Prince of
Wales will never be crowned Emperor
Of India, or if he is, the title will be as
meaningless as that which will pro,
nounce him King Of France. The

Washington Letter.

President Cleveland has had much
hand shaking as usual to do this week,
and unless some one shall soon invent
and patent an automatic presidential
hand shaker, there will be need of a
deputy or assistant president to per-
form this duty alone. Negro delega,
tons have predominated at the White
House this week. The bishops and
pastors of the African Methodist Com
ference called upon the President, and
their foreman made an Introductory
address which was nearly as long as a
sermon. The same day Mr.. Cleve-
land with his Cabinet reviewed the
emancipation procession of colored peor
pie, which passed before them as they
stood on the front portico of the presi-
dental mansion.
In the Departments the work goes
bravely on, and to those who know the
past condition of the Departments this
is saying great deal. A remarkable
change has come over them. The
clerks are all doing real work, and
surprising everybody and especially
themselves. For several years past it
has been very unusual to find de-
partment or bureau of department
here in Washington with the current
work up to date. 1t is not uncommon
to find offices months behind, and some
of them even longer than months.
Whenever anything Of this kind has
happened little success has attended
efforts to even up the business. Some.
times, it is true, this has been occa>
stoned by much extra work imposed
on force not quite sufficient in num-
bers, but generally it has been due to
inefficient and lazy clerks, whose in.
terest in the payroll overshsdowed
completely their concern in the work
of the Government. Changes now
going on indicate that this haphazard
way of doing business has had its best
days. Those Departments and Bu-
reaus which are behind with their ac-
counts and reports are to catch up
with the current business, and when
that is done each days work is to be
finished each day.
This is as it should be and is Just
what every well-regulated house would
have done by its own employees. II
will necessitate, of course, 4 thorough
overhanling of the different bureau;
and the discharge of idle and incapa.
bic clerks of both sexes, who have
heretofore relied upon political inau.
ence to keep them in place. 1t will

Nashville Union The present stu
alton of war matters in Europe shows
how little sentiment, patriotism or
national feeling have to do with
events. These are set aside, and
money, cool-headed, cold, calculating
money is the power that governs all,
the influence that behind the thrones
and cabinets moves the wires and
controls the actors upon the stage.
The Rothschilds govern Europe to-
day, and the issues of war or peace
are as they choose, and the bonds of
peace and friendship have come to
be mere Understanding securities.
