CERTAIN Republican editors are very
anxious about the way in which the terri
BILE Democrats are spending the surplus
They have discovered that the Admins
tration of Cleveland is costing $95, ,000,
600 more than the Garfeld-Arthul
Administration spent. This is all very
terrible. But Republicans of the Tom
Fitch stripe ought to be happy. We are
just "blowing in the surplus" That is
what Mr.. Fitch recommended. Mr..
Fitch in blowing it in would have moth
ing to show for it. The Democratic
Administration has something in the way
of assets. 1t has the beginning
of navy. Anything spent outside Of
the legitimate needs of the country has
been "blown in" after Mr.. Fitch's
method. Two years ago the Democratic
President vetoed the Appropriation
bill because of its wanton extravaganza
He has vetoed hundreds of pension billf
because they would elbow it in" not only
extravagantly but with downright dis
honesty. In spite of all Cleveland'l
efforts the pension bills Of this
year run up to about $4,000,
900. Much of the excess in the
$95 100000 referred to above is right
there. Here is more Of it. The Appro
priation bill of this year Mr.. Cleveland
would not sign because OF its gross ex
travagance. He did not veto it for the
reason that to do so would be to cripple
all the functions of the Government
Here is the bill as it first passed the
Democratic House, and then passed the
Republican Senate:

q square Of the card and consequently
that the six first words of the message,
composed of thirty-six letters, must have
been obtained by means Of the thlrty-six
squares.
And IN the grating the arrangement of
the blank squares bad been SO ingen-
iOusly thought out that for every quarter
turn-that is. for the four times the
blank squares changed their position
they came in different place.
1t viii be seen that this must be so
for if at the first expiration Of the graf
ing to white paper the figures TO are
inscribed In each blank space. and then,
after quarter turn the figures 10 to 10,
and then after another quarter turn the
figures 10 to 81, and then. after another
be found that no square has two num-
bers. and that each of the thirty-six
squares is filed in.
Sarcany very naturally began on the six
first words of the message, intending to
make four successive applications of the
grating. He then thought of treating
the next six, and then the six finals in
the same way. and thus use mp the sigh-
teen words of the cryptogram-
1t need scarcely be said that Sarcany
had told Toronthal what he intended to
do, and that the banker had approved of
the plan.
Would thepractice confirm the theory ?
Therein lay all the interest of the
experiment.

A Good Story Told by n Prominent Chica-
go business Man.
John Kinney, of the firm of Kinney &
Ransome, tells the Chicago Nesos a little
story about himself which may strike
familiar vein in some other mans expert
ence. When / was young chap" says
he, " got the Pixies Peak fever along with
lot more of the men and boys of our town,
and as Twas pretty hard to manage around
home, and as some staid old friends of my
fathers were going TO the new gold coun-
try, IT was concluded that l should 60 with
them. When we were all ready to shut my
trunk and lock it, my mother who, bless
her, was more than half afraid to have me
go out into that rough country, brought
handsome clasp Bible ont of her bedroom
and laid it in my trunk on top of the other
things.
Now, Johnnie said she. Il want you to
promise me that you viii read this Bible
every day.
" OF course viii mother said; win
read it every chance l have
''And, Johnnie said she. i want YOU to
study well the Sermon ON the Mount 1t

Matthews and ST. Mark, and St Luke and
st. John, but the best is in st. Matthew
You win read it often, won't you, JohnnieP
u promised every thing, and meant to
keep my promise, too. But somehow l
never did. never opened the Bible; never
even undidthe clasp. After had been at
Pixies Peak some time. and spent nearly all
the money that my father had given to one
OF his old friends for me, / started with

the Missouri crossing and had a terrible
time from that on. | ran out of money and

sold that Bible dozen times il could have
found anybody to buy it. Well, after a
heap of walking and all sorts of hardship

and the talking was over my mother began
unpacking the little handbag had brought

In the bottom of it she found the little clasp

him for the zeal he had shown. told him
that he should not require his services

To Sarcany's mind this meant that
about that time the signal was to be

He continued, therefore, TO watch with
the greatest care, but SO as to give rise

not so with Borik, who had never got

which the young man had inspired

Sarcany neared his triumph.
1t was on the 9th of June that Count
Sandorf had agreed with his friends to
