HOW TO GET RID OF THE SURPLUS.
WILLIAM H. BARNC

HOW TO GET RID OF THE SURPLUS.
 In the opinion of Secretary Fairchild, the accumulated surplus ill the treasury next July will reach the enormous amount of S155, 100000. In his message President Cleveland estimated the annual surplus, outgo, at S113, 1000 ,OOO, and the total su4- plus in July at about $40, ,OOO. Sena- tor Allison, who probably had ill mind new and unheard of expenditures, fixed the surplus at S55 1000, ,OO0. The president s estimate is probably near right, but what ever be the surplus, whether S55, ,OOO, ,OOO or $155, 5,OOO,OOO, it will be a menace to business prosperity, for the reason that there will be no way to dispose of 1t, ex- cept by the wasteful process of buying bonds, or by putting the currency in the hands of favored banks, to be loaned. The Ways and Means committee has reported bill to accomplish the desired end of re- ducing the surplus. But the committee departed from the recommendation of the president, who advised that the internal tax es all be permitted to stand as they are, and all the reductions be by the customs free list or the reduction of customs rates. The bill reported by the Ways and Means com mittee is supposed to accomplish only these results as estimated:
 Free list $22,25OOOO Reducing duty woolen goods 17,25O,U> 0 C.lna and glassware 1,6OO.UUv CnamicalS, 15U, LOO Cotton goods, 5OU,OOU Fax, hemp and jute, 1,5OU,UVU Sugar, 11,OOO,UOU
 Total reduction, $54. $50 OLO
 And it has added all internal tax reduc- ton on certain forms of tobacco amount ing to a little more than S25, ,OOO, ,OUO, which will make total annual reduction esti mated at sSO,OOO,OOO.
 But 1t must be borne in mind that re- ductiun of rates, other than by putting articles on the free list, may stimulate i'm portations and so increase incomes to an extent that no one can foresee, and so really enlarge the surplus.
 And now comes MT Randall with plan which his friends say will reduce the sur plus by S95, GOO, ,OUO year, of which S7O,- UU0, ,OOU comes off the internal taxes ana $25, ,UOO, ,OOO off the customs taxes. But here again we must remember that abating the tax on whisky by one half may, in two or three years, really increase production so much as not to reduce the sum now It. ceived therefrom

OBITUARY OF MFRS. BELL.


our now deceased sister WAS born at
Tamaqua. SchuyIkiiI Co. Pa, on the
81 day of May, 1867. She was the
daughter Of Mordeccai aud Elizabeth
Beard, the eldest Of family Of five. Her
mother aud two of Ter sisters have pre-
cceied her t. the silent tomb and TO the
better world.
She was married September 10, 1881,
to her now hereaved husband, William
Bell, Sergeant Of Signal Corps, L. :. y g,
at Beading, Pa, and has resided with
her husband at Grand Haven, Mich at
Lewiston. Idahc. and at Port Angeles,
". Ty-, where arriving on the 2ud of
July, 1888, she has bad continued resi-
deuce Of nearly five years. TO her ard
her he-eaved husband was born here,
tAeir one darling child. little Elaine,
who at the tender age Of less than three
years is orphaned by the loss Of the
dearest earthly friend mortal can ever
know.
On March lst, 1888, at 10 o'clock p. m I,
after an illness of few weeks at the
age of 80 yc. Is . months, aud 30 days,
she was called upon to render back to
earth that Which was earthly and to give
back her pnIc spirit to God who
gave it. We say - she is Dedd!' We
little know how bright is her life Only
those who have entered that blessed
land and have enjoyed it's blessed re-
unions can know how grand and bliss
full is that life upon which she has en-
tered.
Amiable, patient, gentle, friend to
everybody, sister Bell has greatly en-
deared herself to this community. In
fact she was friend to everyone and
everyone WAS her friend. Possibly it is
as nearly true OF her as of anyone who
has ever lived that:
None knew her but to love her,
None saw her but TO pIaisc.'
Blessed with early education and re.
ligious privileges of a high order, she
was a refined Christian woman. For
several years she taught il the Birds
boro graded schools. Her father, one
brother and one sister Join with her
husband and orphaned daughter to
mourn her departure. To them each we
extend our tenderest sympathy and upon
them we pray the benedictIons of our

PHILLIPS-Feb 24, 1888, at Lopez
island. san Juan county, Mrs Ellie
Phillips, the beloved wife of Mr..
Martin Phillips.
We are panied to chronicle the demise
of this excellent woman. The hearts of
a wide circle of friends were made sad
when the announcement went forth that
this comparatively young wife and
mother hai passed from among the living
to join the ever increasing company OF
those who have crossed the Jordan of
death. Lopez island mourns a departed
friend. For some time past Mrs, Phil
lips had but frail hold on life. The
devoted attention of loved ones could
not stay the messenger Death, for at last
the delicate thread parted, and she
whom we had been accustomed to see
and greet, had passed away into that
better and happier life beyond. Deep is
the sorrow of that home so suddenly be-
reaved-husband disconsolate, little
daughter of tender years motherless.
The departed one was social in her ma
ture, and full of the spirit of hospitality.
Her kindness OF heart and afrable man
ners won her host of friends. How
thoroughly she had entrenched herself
in the affections OF the community, was
apparent from the unusually large at
tendance at the funeral. OF her, in
truth, it might be said:
'.None knew thee but to love thee,
None named thee but to praise"
In solemn procession we followed her
remains to Lopez cemetery, where we
laid her body away, and silently bade
adieu to all that was mortal of Ellie"

HARRISON DEBATING.
A Conference with the RepubIi.
can Leaders Under Con-
sideratiOn.
Probability That the Plums Will Be
Distributed with a View to the
Welfare of the Party.
Admission Of Dakota as Two States As
sured IL Mr.. Harrisen's Views
Are Adhered to.

CHICAGO, Nov. 19.-The Tribune's In
dianapolis special says: Gen. Harrison
is debating whether he will go to New
York next month or Summon the East
ern leaders to confer with him here.
The situation here and in New York is
identical, as in both Gen. Harrison has
more friends than he may be able to sat
isfy, according to their estimate OF serv-
ices, and fully comprehending that
breakers are ahead, he seeks concert of
action on the part of those whose advice
he win doubtless give weight. He is
credited with having solved the difficult
problem by intimating desire to have
his supporters agree on candidates for
the important offices, and when they
have done SO, those whom they put for
ward will probably receive the plums.
Several conferences have been held this
week, and the names suggested are un-
der consideration.
In New York the stakes are higher, but
the party interests are the same, and
Gen. Harrison is not disposed to bestow
patronage on any one of the leaders who
may I0eTeDy seek W OUealh ou-
premacy. It is not going to
be a question with him whether
Tom Platt, Warner Miller or Chauncey
Depew shall be the controlling spirit in
New York politics, but il personal con-
siderations cut more figure with him
than party success, it is probable that he
prefers 1.-THE grangers' friend. As
everybody knows, Warner Miller was
for Sherman, Tom Platt for Alger, and
Depew for himself when the New York
delegation arrived at Chicago. While
some of the New York delegates swerved
of ON Sherman Platt and Depew went to
Harrison through Depew's clever nlanip-
ulations. All things considered, Depew
occupies decidedly advantageous posi-
fion. with Platt close by him.
The special says, however, that War
ner Miller, owing to his liant cam
paign in New York, will be counted in
the triumyirate. .
Admission of Dakota as two states is
assured If Gen. Harrison's views are ad-
hered to. Al. G. Mellette, the provis-
