At the same time the apparent expenditures
have been increased SIG, 200, 900.
This leaves a surplus of revenue above
current expenditu -es, pensions and inter-
est Of nearly $50, 900, 000 Of which about
$45, 100000 has been applied to paying the
bonded debt, and the balance Is In the
treasury.
For the fiscal year ending July /, 1884,
the surplus revenue applicable to reduc-
tion OF the debt was about 104 millions
for 1883 it was 132 millions; for 1882 it
was l45 millions and for 1881 it was 100
millions. For four years, ending July 1884
the pub ic debt was reduced 48l millions,
or on an average of 129 millions year.
The reduction the past year was a little

TERRITORIAL APPOINTMENTS.

The Democratic NAtional Conven- ton which nominated Grover Cleve- land. adopted in its platform the fol- lowing plank
 "The election of federal officers for the Territories should be restricted to citizens previously resident there in"
 The present administration has com. plctely ignored this dictum which should have been a governing clause in its policy when dealing with terri. torial appointments. The territories are not dependencies of the United States to be treated as the colonies of the European nations are. They are not hospitals for politica! malcon- tents, or breeding grounds for embryo politicians, but commonwealths in the true meaning of the word as much as the States are, and as such, the me who are to hold offices nf public trust should be selected from those whose interests are connected with the pros. perity of the community among whom they live and do business.
 This principle was not only admit ted but unreserveoly indorsed in the section of the Democratic platform above quoted, yet the present admin 'stra,ion has deliberately violated it.. In the summary suspension of terri torial office holders who had proved themselves eminently fitted 10 perform the duties that devolyed upon them and in the appointment in thelr place of men whose efficiency $ at least untried, the President and his advisers are treating the territories more like conquered provinces than communities which are peopled by law abiding citizens that only lack population, not intelligence, to be admitted as States.
 In the early settlement of the terri tories when the population was sparse 1t was no doubi necessary and judic- ious course to pp lint outsiders as the governing off ials, but when com. munity has grown to the conditions of wealth, population and intelligence now shown by Arizona it is as unjust as a matter of abstract right--to send us official guardians from the east as it would be to subject young man on the verge of his majority to the leading stringst sthIt were necessary for his self preservation when an in. fant.
 Republican administrations have served the territories in quite as auto, cratic a manner in this respect, as the present government IS now doing. Territorial appointments have been the reward of a clas, of politicians who, while demanding recognition for services rendered to their party, were not of sufficient importance to be entrusted with positions of high CT grade in the public service. It is not claimed that President Cleveland is doing any worse in this matter than his predecessors have done, but it is claimed that, as regards the territories, he is not honestly carrying oc: his own professions as civil service re. former, and that he is violating dls' tine; pledge made by the party thai elected him to power.
