Scattered.

The surplus is no more. The public
debt Is increasing. This is the story of
July and August. And how do YOU like
q, Republicans? Your man Tanner has
done the thing. He has succeeded in his
dissemination to scatter the surplus.
He has ladled 1t out to selected lot of
pensioners, by the simple device of in
creAsing their pension rating. 1t seems
that this subordinate officer of the
government has the power in this way
- pay out an unlimited sum of money
without consulting anyone else. And
when wild buccaneer like Tanner was
pnt In the place invested with such
power, II was a foregone conclusion that
the public debt would cease decreasing.
The pensions paid by the country

VACATION and summer rest are about
over. For one class, at any rate, rest for II
time has ceased we mean the school
teachers. They have had season in which
to prepare for hard labor, and IA renewed
exercise of patience and persey orance.
They are worthy of sympathy and en-
couragement. II there are any hard
workers, the school teachers must be
classed among them, and yet how fcw take
account of the thousands of this class In
our country: faithful souls, who have
again entered upon the tread mill of public
and private service. Parents should re-
member that they can do great deal to
tighten the burden both of teachers and
pupils, and by their influence help TO carry
forward in n legitimate way the proper
education of the young. Give the teachers
encouragement wherever and whenever 1t
is possible; they will thank you. DO not
say; "Oh, they are paid for their services"
There are some things money cannot pay
Tor. Encourage tho pupils to be civil, at
tentiye, diligent and studious. Do not
make mountain out of every mole.h hill of
difficulty which after school hours is
brought home for adjustment. Let the
young feel that their parents and guardians
take lively interest in their intellectual
progress.

PITrsBURo experts are greatly interested
In the provisions of the will of the late
millionaire Thaw regarding his coke lands.
He expressed the opinion that his :, ,2cO
acres of coke land would bc worth a thous-
and dollars an acre by the time his children
were all Of age, and those who are consid-
cred the best posted agree that this is not
an extraNagant prediction. "As high as
5000 has, II ia said, been refused for easily
worked coke lands. The intrinsic value of
the land at present is higher than most
people believe. II is said that the average
rental at present for coke lands is l. cents
ton. There are on an average 1900 tons
in an acre of coking coal, which makes the
rental value $50. At this price the coke
lands of the Thaw estate are worth s6OSs,
600" There are, il is claimed, some thirty
thousand acres of good coke lands but in
these days of new discoveries Who can tell
whether new fuel may not decrease the
value of coke before the Thaw expectations
are fulfilled? There does not seem 10 he
great danger that the Thaw heirs will
suffer, however, as the estate is supposed
TO exceed total value of twenty-five mil
lions. His securities are all good and
there is absolutely no Indebtedness against
the estate"

A Policy af Extravaganza.

The Philadelphia Record in an article
epublished to-day makes a fair COM
parison of the public debt showings for
midsummer months during the past five
years and the truth telling figures show
good reason for the apprehension that
the administration has entered upon a
policy of deliberate extravaganza. II
avails nothing to protest that expenses
of government under President Cleve-
lands administration were larger than
in the years rcceedingDemocratic rule,
for that in no way affects the point here
established that an increase Of debt in
these months of July and August Il
without precedent in recent years, and
shows a change in policy that must re-
suit i'm q great demand for additional
appropriations towards the end Of the
fiscal year when Congress IL in session.
The recent pension rulings open the
treasury To deserters, bounty jumpers
aud pension sharks ; and the July and
August statements show, In round
figures, an increase Of debt in July and
August of one million three hundred
thousand and Of over six millions re-
of four years of Democratic administra-
ton show n decrease Of from nearly two
to over nine millions Of dollars. During
the presidential campaign Democratic
speakers and writers showed that the
Republican programme was nothing
else than u scheme of eXtravagant ex-
pcnditure tolmeet unjustifiable taxation,
but even in their widest flights of rle-
toric and imagination they could not
have drawn picture more alarming
than that which now confronts us. The
notorious Tanner has with the support
of the administration indicated PEN
sion policy that will demand sums Of
huge proportions, and the Grand Army
encampment was treated to vision
Of universal pensions which could not
he realized without large increase Of
taxes. The secretary Of the navy pro-
poses 20 ask for appropriations In
bulk unhampered by statements as TO
the number and kind of ships; and the
postmaster general may he trusted TO
produce, in time, his little scheme for n
huge increase In expenses by mail sub.

THE newspapers seem 10 think that Mr..
Hamilton was great fool TO bc taken in as
hel was. by Mrs. If, and doubtless he was,
But are the husbands So few that arc taken
in by their wives, as 10 make Mr.. HamiI-
ton very distinguished fool? We are not
disposed to deny the general tendency of
husbands 10 folly, on the motion of their
wives and to wisdom, on motion of the
same, in view of our observation that the
petticoat rules the world. Mrs. Ray.
doubtless, was an unusually seductive and
deceitful woman, aud Mr.. Ray probably
was an unusually impressible and ductiie
husband; but when our contemporaries open
their eyes in wild astonishment that the
blandishment Of woman could have so
far imposed upon the tenderness of a nau
as TO make him eagerly marry her,
accept foundling as his own, and bo

WE can have little idea Of the promi-
nence Of the Chinese In San Francisco, but
II is graphically presented In the accounts
Of the festivities on Sunday In honor of the
god of charity. Imagine in our own coun-
try, in one of the greatest Of our
cities, solemn procession Of a thou
sand Cinnamon in magnificent costumes
escorting wonderful dragon hundred
feet long, ingeniously constructed so as to
writhe and squirm along between its forty
guards, and preceded and followed by
gorgcously arrayod allcgorical figures In
the highest style Of peculiar Chinese art.
This procession passed through dense
crowds Of Mongolians, who looked on with
supcrstitious awe and felt and looked ms
thoroughly uD-Amcricau as II they had
been on the other side Of the Pacific.
