| ktvENuk IRON TIE DUTY ON sUGAR-A DE-
yIcIrScY INSTEAD OF SURPLUS PRoBA1LE-
BETWEEN THE DEVIL AND THE DEEP SEA
Mr.. Peters OF Kansas has been looking over
the figures again to see il the government can
spare the revenue which will be lost by the re-
peal OF the duty on sugar. He has satisned
himself that the money cannot be spared.
ITO my mind" he said, 'the republicans Of
| the House who control things do not know
what they are about They are between the
devil and the deep sea. According to Mr.. Nc
revenue of the government $50 100000. That
| Is all very good as far as it goes 1t appeases
the men in our ranks who are demanding rev.
| enue reductions; but the next question is can We
afford to do this? say no, and think can
prove it. When the republicans 60 to examine
into things they discover that there is no tre-
mendous surplus to be reduced. At the end Of
| the present fiscal year this great pile Of money
in the Treasury will consist of but $40 ZOO, 600.
At the end of the next fiscal year it will be even
| worse; there will be deficit.
1.-THE revenues Of the government for the
| next fiscal year will be $450, 000, 900. From
| this, assuming that the Mckinley bill is to be-
| come law, you must take the $50 0C0, 900 Mr..
| Mckinley estimates as the reduction. This
will leave you $3.50, 600, 900 with which to run
| the government. have just completed q care
full estimate of what it will cost to operate the
government that year and it foots up 1885,
600, 900, leaving margin Of but $4,000, 900. In
| this estimate Of expenses have included only
the regular and absolutely necessary appro-
priation bills. have left out the Morrill,
service pension bill, which will take $50 900 OGO;
the river and harbor bill, which will take
ego, 600, 900; the direct tax BILL which will take
sl7,O00,O 600, and the prisoners of war bill,
which will take S7000.0OO. All Of these are
likely to pass, and the three largest are rea-
sonably certain. These latter foot up $751;
600. 060, to meet which there will be but
s5,oOO,OO0 in the Treasury. We will,
therefore, come back next session, and be
compelled to face actual deficit in the
Treasury Of ss2, OOO Think Of it! Now, 1
for one don't see the sense in voting for the
Mckinley bill if, as its author says. it reduces
the revenue $50. 900, when the money Is
needed to carry on the government OF course
they can relieve the situation somewhat by
suspending the payment of the sinking fund.
That will give them S43, 000, 900, but for the
rest the government will have to 60 into the
markets Of the world and borrow money upon
a new issue of bonds, thus increasing the pub
lie debt Then, again, the S43, 900, 600 derived
from the suspension of the sinking fund would
be only temporary. In about five years it
would be required to pay off maturing bonds.
Unless a halt is called we republicans will find
ourselves in the most embarrassing position
the party has ever known"

THE LAMBS LOVE.
Mary had little lamb,
Its fleece was white as snow,
Worth at protected market rates
good round sum, you know.
1t followed her to school one day,
Which was against the rule,
1t made the children laugh and play
To see lamb at school.
And SO the teacher turned 1t out,
But still it fingered near,
And waited patiently about,
Till Mary did appear.
"What makes the lamb love Mary sop
The children all did cry.
"Oh, Mary Is tariff GIRL"
The teacher did reply.

Politicians Say that the Conservatives Are
 on the Run.
 LONDON, March 21.-Politicians are busily discussing Lord Salisbury's Tory conference at the Carlton Club. There is but one opinion outside of Conserva- tive circles, and that is that the Gov ernment is in bad way and dissolution is certain.
 At the conference Lord Salisbury told his friends he regretted the slow pro- gress of the public business. The Gov ernment had met with Instructions of the most determined kind. He re- quested the members of the conserva- tive party in the House of Commons to attend the sessions regularly and give close attention to business.
 The Tithes bill, he said, was of para mount importance, and the bill should receive its second reading before Easter He expressed the belief that proposals for the purchase of Irish lands would receive the unanimous support of the Unionists.
 Lord Salisbury ridiculed the idea that dissolution of Parliament was imminent. He severely censured the lukewarmness of the Tories, which, he said, had contributed to such reverses as the present Government had met.
 Much misrepresentation he declared, had been indulged in regarding the pro- posed Assisted Education bill, and he urged the members to reserve their opinions until the measure had been in troduced in the House of Commons.
 Lord Salisbury asserted that the new Irish Bill would guarantee the security of the property of the Irish landlords. He also expressed the hope that the Behring Sea matter would soon be settled, but added that with so sus- ceptible a nation as the United States the Government could not negotiate at the top of its voice.

 BERLIN March 21.-A special edition of the ReichanZeiger just issued an nounces that the Emperor has sent Prince Bismarck two rescripts couched in the most cordial terms, thanking him for his past services and appointing him Duke of Lauenburg, colonel general of the cavalry and field marshal general. Count Herbert Bismarck retains the office of minister of foreign affairs ad interim General von Caprivi has been appointed to succeed Prince Bismarck as Chancellor and President of the Prussian Ministry.
 In the first rescript the Emperor says that, acceding to the request made on the 18th inst he grants Prince Bismarck permission to retire, hoping confidently that the Fatherland will profit in the future, as it has protited in the past, by his counsel, energy, and faithful devo- tion. The Emperor says he had hoped that the necessity would not arise for Bismarck to think of separation during his life time. He regards it as the most providential dispensation of his life that on several occasions he has had Prince Bismarck by his side.
 What the Prince has achieved for Prussia and Germany and what tho Prince had been to him and the house of his predecessors he will ever pre- serve in grateful remembrance. Bis marck's wise and energetic policy of peace, by which his Majesty is resolved to be guided in the future, being fully convinced of its correctness, will always be remembered abroad and we'll deserves recognition. It is not in the Emperor's power to reward Bismarck for his ser vices, but as sign of his lasting thanks he confers upon him the dignity of Duke of Lauenburg and presents him with life-size painting of himself.
 The conscripts are couched in Ian guage of the most tender character, and end with the words: God bless you, my dear Prince, and grant you many years of untroubled old age, frightened by tine consciousness of duty truly full filed"
