Near the Danger Line.

It is not probable that there will be any actual deficit in the accounts of the Government in the fiscal year which ends eleven and half months hence. That is to say, the revenues of the nation, coupled with such moneys as arc in the Treasury unap- propriated, will be likely to exceed the national expenditures. For a time recently there was a prospect that both ends could not be made to meet, but now there is reasonable ground for the belief that the nation al balance sheet, when cast up on the Both day of June next, will show a small excess on the right side of the account. To permit the Govern ment to escape the humiliation and embarrassment of deficit, device in Treasury bookkeeping which was not looked for and which was not available a few weeks ago will ap- parently have to be resorted to. The bank-note redemption fund of about S55 ,000, ,000, which the new silver law releases, will have to he drawn on in order that the Government may escape the disgrace and discredit of insolvency.
 Even the most reckless and obtuse of the Republican members of Con- gress should begin to understand by this time that the party, in it's man. agement of its fiscal affairs of the nation, is pressing pcrilous close to the danger line. Several months ago the GIobt-Dem0crat, in common with few other leading Republican papers, began to point out the breaker toward which the ship of state was being permitted to drift Again and again we directed the at tentiOn of the dominant party in Congress to the fact that the income of the Government could not meet its outgo if appropriations on the eX- travagant scale in which they were proceeding should be kept up. These appeals, however, were unheeded. Unnecessary and eXtravagant eXpen- diiurcs were authorized as before, until, wiluia the past few weeks, there was fear that an extension would have to he asked hy the Gov crnment and q temporary bankruptcy confessed. There is a probability, of course, that this narrow escape from financial wreck may teach the Republican leaders in the National Legislature an important and valua- blc lesson. At all events if the con trolling party, during the session next winter, in which the manage ment of the affairs of the Govern ment for the fiscal year immediately preceding the Presidential election is to be provided for, shows, in the matter of appropriations, the con tempt for the dictates of reason and and the lessons of experience dis played in the present session, dis aster at the polls can hardly be averted.- Globe Democrat.

HOSPITALITY.

Biest be that spot, where cheerful guests retire To pause from toil, and trim their evening fire: Blest that abode, where want and pain repair, And every stranger finds ready chair Blest be those fcasts with simple plenty crown'd Where all the ruddy family around Laugh at the jcstS and pranks that never fail, pr sigh with pity at some mournful tale, ibr press the bashful stranger to his food, And learn the luxury of doing good.

DO FISHES SUFFER PAIN ?
An Expert says They Are Not as sensi-
tive as warm Hooded Animals.

An Expert says They Are Not as sensi-
tive as warm Hooded Animals
have read many articles on the sub.
lect of whether fish. when caught on the
hook. feel any pain, or whether their
struggles we're merely the result OF find
ing themselves fast fish great doal
in the summer months for trout, bass
and pickerel. and have done SO for many
years. ] have studied the matter very
carefully, and have made up my mind,
from various incidents that have come
under my observation. that fish are not
sensitive TO pain as are warm-blooded
animals will cite two instances that
show to me plainly that must be right
in my conclusions on this subject.
Last October. while fishing for pick.
erel on Lake Cary. Wyoming County,
Pa, in company with companion,
among other fish that we caught was a
pickerel that would weigh nearly, II not
quite. three pounds. My friend pulled
IL up. and as IL came on 10 the top !
saw about twelve feet of a very coarse
brown line hanging TO it. Upon in
specting il more closely found that the
fish had in it's side a very strong and
coarse hook. 10 which the pies OF line
was attached. The wound must have
been made very short time previous
to our catching the fish, for IL was
bleeding quite freely and looked very
fresh, and IL the fish could feel, 1t would
certainly have deferred II from TAX
ing our hook so soon after such an
injury There was only one other party
fishing on the lake that day. as IL was
cold and windy. and that pickcrcl must
have received his injury from them and
have come nearly across the lake 10 ns,
dragging that piece of heavy line with
him.
The other instance occurred in this
way: was fishing for pickerel with a
skipping bait'-most of your readers
know what that is-a piece Of pork rind
or pickerel belly. and had with me q
friend who. though he could handle q
brigade under heavy fire, was not uI
20 the trick of catching fish that way.
was having fairly good sport, but he gol
impatient and finally, when he had |
+ good strike. he .erked SO hard as I,
+ break his line, and away went the fish
/ and he at once proposed TO 70 home: bu
! told him in Joke II he would wait five
/ or ten minutes | would catch that fisl
+ and get back his hook. so We sat dowi
and had short smoke. soon com

Great Men VINO biu NOT HhoW hoW 10
Choose Fitting Wives.
The question has been recently dis
cussed, ''Do able men make wiser mar
riages than other people?" and the inn
preston seems TO be that the question
should be answered in the negative. In
stances are given OF rulers who had the
faculty OF choosing men by the eye who
made bad blunders in the choice Of
wives. For example, Justina had the
keenest eyes for able agents; witness his
choice OF Belisarius and Narsus-a
choice which the Palace must have re-
garded as mere caprice of despotism-
and the men who codified Roman law;
vet Justinian picked Theodore out OF
the whole world, and that lady, even IL,
"a is probable, Procopius libeled her, can
hardly have been n success, either as
wife or Empress.
Henry Will. who must have had
wonderful eyes for men fitted TO carry
out his will. who picked out Wolsey and
made Cranmer, and gave start TO the
hrst Cecil and the first Russell, and used
exactly the right parliamentary agents,
made a complete muddle in choosing
wives, even IL we deduct Katherine OF
Arragon as imposed on him and consider
the divorce OF Anne of Cleves only bru-
tai expression of personal repugnanee.
