Thus far the President has submit
ted to the Senate 2,427 nominations,
and only seventeen of them have been
rejected. Senator Hoar recently de-
clared that there had been fewer re-
jectiOns since President Cleveland
came in, notwithstanding the political
disagreement between the Executive
and the upper house, than in any pre-
viOus session of the Senate for the last
two years.

Some boys were grabbing recently
around Myers's shore, at Pilhimmon
on the Third Haven, Talbot county.
When opposite an unoccupied tenant
house on the shore they noticed an of
fensive smell coming from the house.
" "There's a dead man in that house"
said one to another. "Yes, and he had
a sheep in there with him." said the
other, pointing to the upstairs window
where there was a sheep looking out.
The boys went to the door, but it SEEM
ed to be fastened, and in some trepida-
ton they sought Mr. Myers and in
formed him Of what they had smelled
and seen. Mr.. Myers went to the
house and pushed the door open and
found forty-six of his sheep shut up In
the house. Fourteen of them were
dead and the rest were suffering fear
fully. 1t is supposed they went into
the house out of the heat, and in rub
bing themselves shut the door. A dead
sheep was lying against the door, and
several living ones were upstairs.-Eas-
ton Ledger.

The Surplus.

The Democratic revolt against the
Democratic President is becoming moro
pronounced. Upon every feature of
its financial policy the administration
is directly antagonized by Congress.
The tariff is not to be reformed, the
silver coinage will continue without
limitation and now the surplus is to be
spent.
On Tuesday, Mr.. Morrison introduce
ed a resolution requiring the Secretary
of the Treasury to use all the surplus
cash, over $1OO,OOO,OOO, to pay off the
debt, and hereafter to keep the surplus
always below that point. There is no
point upon which the President and
Secretary of the Treasury have taken
stronger ground that upon this of the
surplus. Mr.. Manning has expressed
himself in the most emphatic terms
against the proposition, heretofore, and
Cleveland holds the same views. Yet
the. Morrison resolution was adopted
by the House on Wednesday by a
three-fourths majority, and only 16
Democrats stood out against it.
There can be no mistake about the
meaning of this. The hoOdlum element
in the party is getting the upper hand
and declares war upon the President.
The surplus money that it demands
shall be paid out is that which the
Treasury holds as a guarantee to the
world that the obligations of the gov
ernment shall be met. The paper cur
rency of the country maintains its
equality with gold because every man
knows that if he wants gold he can go
to the United States officials and make
the exchange, at any time. The sur
plus is not nearly sufficient to redeem
all the paper outstanding, but it is
enough to maintain confidence in the
government and so to prevent any gen.
eral demand for gold. To reduce this
surplus would reduce our annual inter-
est payments by about $2,5OO,OOO, but
the advantage to be derived from that
would be Insignificant when compared
with the enormous loss that would fol.
low from the least impairing of the
government credit. AS Mr.. Hewitt
pointedly said, it is a case of saving at
the spigot and wasting at the bunghole.-
