The Public Debt.
AN ERRONEOUS IMPRESSION COR
RECTED-THE CAUSE OF IT.

nv
RECTED-THE CAUSE OF IT.
The Boston press is evidently pre-
pairing to attack the administration
because the debt statement for the
month of July shows an apparent in
crease in the debt of about 81, ZOO, 900,
The use of the phrase "increase of
the debt" is i'll judged, and really
ought not to be permitted in an official
Treasury document. There is no in
crease in the debt, but simply a de-
crease in the amount which is in the
Treasury. There is a specific statute
which forbids any officer of the Gov
eminent from increasing the debt, and
the debt cannot be increased by any
officer of the Government without in
curing the penalty. But for purposes
of convenience, whenever there has
been an increase in the expenditures
of the Treasury Department, it has
become the custom to speak of an in
crease in the debt. Accordingly the
monthly debt statement for July does
show what is called an increase of the
debt of something over 100000.
This apparent increase is susceptible
of a very simple explanation. 1t is
due to the fact that the expenditures
for the month of July last were very
considerably increased over the ex-
penditures for the corresponding
month of the last fiscal year. This
increase is not in any way attributable
to the Republican administration of
the Treasury Department, while some
of it is directly due to what may be
properly called the maladministration
of affairs under the Cleveland admin
istration. These expenditures are
the payment of deferred obi
cations incurred while the Democrats
were in power, which the Democrats
either refused absolutely to pay or the
payment of which they deferred. 1t
has been the Bourbon practice to post
pone the payment of the obligations of
the Government as they mature, and
to call this partial reputation an
economy. Boasts of economy of that
sort are heard every year from the
Democratic stump and in the Demo
press, and undoubtedly now
that the Republican administration is
the obligations of the Govern
ment as they mature we shall hear the
charge of extravaganza. Nearly all
of the money expended in the Depart
ment of Justice in The month of July
in excess of the expenditures in that
department for the previous July is
for the payment of officials of the
Government for services rendered
under the Cleveland administration.
Mr.. Cleveland's government permitted
the courts to be closed and called the
of money economy.-Boston

The Yuma, Colo, Cyclone.

MeSSTS. EdtOrs:-
The following description Of the re-
cent Colorado cyclone will be of inter-
est to your readers -
At two o'clock, Sunday afternoon,
a black cloud was seer approaching
from the northeast. The mercury was
ITO in the shade, and a very strong
wind was blowing. Without this wind
it would be almost impossible to live
at all here. People were lying in
every shady nook, nearly naked, try
ing to keep as comfortable as po~ssible.5
Suddenly there was a hull and a smoke
like form was seen to descend from
the clouds, while a similar one gather
ed on the surface and rose like a mon
ument to meet the first. People gaz-
ing at it we're held spell-bound by the
awful vision, for nothing of the sort
has ever before been seen in this local
ity. Soon, however, people began to
realize that something unusual was
about to happen. They began run
ming to places of safety in all direc-
tons; men and women caught up their
children and ran to dug-outs and caves.
There are only about a dozen cellars
in the whole town of six or seven
hundred inhabitants, and a cellar is a
bad thing to get into when a cyclone
is near because of falling buildings.
The terrible roll of wind, gathering
force at every revolution, was drawing
nearer; nearly everybody was grow
ing crazy in their danger, when fortu-
nately a strong wind from the north
turned the cyclone to the south of the
village about two miles, when it van
ished in the distant prairie. The sur
rounding country is not thickly peo-
pied, and therefore the damage was
not very great. One farm house and
barns was completely demolished.
There the first object it struck was a
two-year-old steer which it took up
to the height of $50 feet and carried a
distance of % rods, breaking every
bone in it's body. That farmer had
800 hens and turkeys only about 20
escaped, their wings and legs being
torn from their bodies and scattered
for miles around. Two double wagons
were torn into a hundred pieces. A
wheat field one mile south comprising
twenty acres, all cut and set up, was
carried away and not a bundle could
be found. | rode out to the scene of
the cyclone and secured several relics,
which l shall bring east some day to
show to the people of Morrisville.

BENT BY THE WIND.-E. S. Will
son, a blacksmith, of Ozark, Mo-, has
q relic of the Marshfield cyclone, which
occurred on Sunday, April Is, 1880,
that is a very remarkable curiosity.
This witness of one of the freaks OF
the great storm is a black quart bottle
bent by some mysterious force into an
elliptical circle, without a crack OF
break in the glass that the closest
scrutiny can discover. The neck OF
of the bottle touched the edge of the
bottom, and the fact that the glass
vas not broken in any way by the
strange force of the storm is shown by
its test of holding water or any other
fluid. By gradually turning the bottle
as the water is poured in, it can be
nearly filled to its full capacity, so as
to show the perfect soundness of the
material. This bottle was found by
Mr. Wilson the day after the Marsh
field disaster, and examined by Prof.
Tice who soon came to the scene of
destruction to study the phenomena of
the cyclone from a scientific stand
point. The famous meteorologist at
tributed the bending of the bottle to
the force of electricity, and considered
this one of the most wonderful results
of the mighty agency at work in the
storm cloud. The bottle was found in
the wreck of one of the MarshfeId
drug stores. Mr.. Wilson has been
offered extravagant prices for the
curiosity, but declines to part with
the relic.

Military VS.. Civil Authority.

Secretary of War Proctor finds him
self at odds with the officers who are
high in rank in the regular army, but
he should comfort himself with the
thought that this is one of the newt
able incidents of the office he holds.
On one point or another his predeces-
sors have been involved in disputes OF
greater or less Importance with these
punctilious gentlemen, and so common
have these become that it is only a
fair question of time whether they are
not the natural outgrowth of our mill
tary system. On previous occasions
the friction has arisen between the
Secretary and the General-in-chief.
1t will be remembered that the rela-
tons existing between Secretary Lin
coin and General Sherman, and Sec
rotary Endicott and General Sheridan
were nom of the pleasantest. Secre-
tary Proctor, when he has left Wash
ington on previous occasions since his
acceptance of the war portfolio, has
designated General Schofield as act
ing Secretary, but this time the Gen
eral happens to be absent from the
city, and so he selected the civilian
who happens to be next to himself in
rank instead of the Adjutant- General,
or some other of the regular officers.
1t is doubtful if the matter would be
really remedied by the adoption of the
suggestion which has been more than
once made that there be an assistant
Secretary of War. The real trouble
lies in the unwilIingness of regular
army officers to acknowledge civilians
as their superiors. 1t will take, per-
haps, some time to teach them that
the military is subordinate to the civil
under our form of government, but
this is a lesson they need to learn

Wanted-A World" is the title
of an article in the Congregationatist
by Judge Tourgee, in relation to the
J~ohnstown, Pa, inquest and its ver-
dict. 1t goes without saying that the
article is vigorous and to the point.
But the fact that secular papers are
copying it in full is a hint that the
public conscience is aroused and that
such an indefinite verdict as that g the
owners are responsible when it OUGHT
to have been added - for wholesale
murder in the first degree" and the
said owners ought to have been pointed
out By ndme,-will not satisfy the
great public whose sympathies have
been keenly aroused, and whose mate
rial aid has been lavishly outpoured
for the sufferers by the selfishness
of the owners" Judge Tourgee's
article might well have one text
(Which occurs in the bo1y of the arti-
cle) placed at its head, Uiz.. "Inas-
much as We have not done it, etc."
and those who select N to read
where the pastor is gone might do a
thousand times worse than to select
this most scathing article, and have it
vigorously read in the churches.

Keynote to the whole matter" We
remember to have heard long ago that
