POLITICAL POINTS.

The Washington Herald has information
that the Republican ticket has a fair pros
pect of success i'll West Virginia.
Protection seems to work better than
free-trade in getting the nation out of debt.
Erect trade Great Britain had public debt
in 1878 of S3,S75000,000. 1t is now So, $50 :
100000. decrease in ten years of $195, 000,-
600. The United States, in 1878, had a
debt of 50, 256, 600 000 1t is now $1,154,-
600 900, decrease of 81 ,102, 600, 000-I00a
State Register.
A correspondent of the New York World
sought out and called upon Carl Schurz at
Kiel. Mr.. SchuTz bad nothing to say on
American politics, and when his interviewer
asked him if he was satisfied with the way
in which Mr.. Cleveland had carried out his
pledges of civil service reform, Ar Schurz
offered him a cigar and remarked that it
bad been We. season in Germany-Bos-

in Premiums have been paid to bondhold-
ers." What of it; the gain to the Gov
eminent was 2 per cent. per annum on
four-per-cents, or So 0Oo, 900, and if it had
not been paid it would have remained
that sooner or later the bondholders would
have drawn both principal and interest
from the Government, and that it would
have been loser precisely that Si2,000,000.
To US this proposition-so bitterly as
sailed by the Democracy-appears as plain
as pike-stafi, and is wise and discreet,
while all the chatter about contraction
and panic, because it is proposed to use a
surplus to pay the nations debts in adj
vance Of maturity, and at positive saving
to the Government of many millions Of
dollars, is political caaptrap, tomfoolery
and twaddle.
