For the current year, which closes on the 30th of June, the receipts were es- timated in December by Secretary Windom at S3s5 .OtO, ,0O00, and expend- itmres authorized by the congress were S2l3 ,000. coo. This should leave on ths 30th of June surplus revenue of Sea.- 0o0,OC0. Of this surplus forty-eight and one-third millions will be paid in- to the sinking fund. leaving net sur plus of eA3. CTS .SS3.
 That is the condition in which the Democrats left the finances. The pres ent congress is republican in both branches. The revenues lbassd on pres ent laws. are estimated by the Secretary of the Treasury again at three hun dred and eighty-Iive millions.
 Tho expenditure, as shown in the ap propriation bills now framed and most of them passed or reported, but in some cases, as the River and liaibor bill and the additional Pension bill, likely to be increased, stand thus.

Four hundred and ten from sS5 eyi. dcntly leaves nothing-or worsa. In fact, as they stand and leaving out all the little scraps of things such as pri- vate pension bills. the republicans have an official deficit of p 5.O0o 900, iustesll of the surplus of 4S00O .000 under the Democratic administration.
 That is to sav, they have on the bills substantially agreed to n deficit of .5.- 00o.o0O under the present revenue laws. But Mir. Mckinley's proud boast. in his report, was that his bill would cut off sTl ,O0o GOO of revenue, or between $50, ,000, ,O0O and $tU, GOO ,0UD, as he has more recently said, and with that understanding the house passed his bill. Call 1t 5D,OD .ilD, and that would leave for the next year only $S35 ,0O0, 900 against &al0 GOO .D00 appro. priated, or the net SIS. 500 600 of sur plus revenue of last year swept away, and $50 .OO0, 600 deficit.
 IL would an. be embarrassing situation to any one except such magnificent finaneiers as the Republicans. Bnt they are not scared. The Democrats would economize and retrench. Our republican friends, on the contrary, proceeded to clean out the treasury. Some time ago they announced that they would stop the payments of the sinking fund. That would giye them forty-nine millions by repidiating what they have always stoutly asserted was Il sacred obligation. Later they saw that even this was not enough. and now they propose 10 put in the general treasury fund the further sum of sixty-millions, which is u deposit by the retiring national banks for the re- demption of their outstanding notes. and as a matter of fact the only security the bitl holders have for those notes, because the bonds have been returned to the hanks.

The Hemnler E,esasion.
(The Argonaut.) ]

The account of Kemmler's execution by electricity is painful reading; but, after all, he seems to have died within four and half minutes after the appli- cation of the battery, and there is n probability, based upon the obserya- lions of scientific observers, that his emancipation from pain was instanta- neous. There is vast deal of mis- placed sentimentahty over the execii- ton of the death sentence; females and preachers go crazy over the apprehen- sion lest the criminal should undergo some degree of mental or physical pain in the mode of execution, and there seems to be an unusual desire to give to mnrderers n happy deliverance from ther temporary agonies and place i,, Paradise where they will be provided with m Immortality of joy, altogether forgetting, as i'll kemmier's case, that he took the life of his mistress with & dnll hatchet, and left her to endure the sgonies of death tortures for twenty four hours till she died. Why should he not suffer four and one-balf minutes before he reaches that amending period of blissful delights which most murder CTS are encouraged to anticipate and expect, as the result of taking some one else's life? The judge who weeps when be sentences q criminal to death By the stranglilation of hemp, the women who weeps and prays for the murderer's pardon, the lawyer who ileads and fights for legal delays and technical defenses, the priest or preach CT who bombards the throne of grace for the repentipg sinners salvation, command little sympathy from healthy minds. And as for the criminal him- self, We think it in better form for him to act as did kemmler, ''the coolest, calmest man" of the nervous crowd which surrounded him. Death by elec- tricity IS not failure because there is a hitch in the machinery Sometimes the rope breaks and the seafolding falls, the gnillotine sometimes gets its ma chinery clogged with blood, and sone- times the axe mangles and bruises the heal 5efare ii falls into the basket. All the same, the mon who ,iei;herately, and with malice afore.hought, perpe- rates the crime of murder, must die.

Itseems te be accepted as fact in Washington that the Vice President has three beautiful and complicated wigs. The first wig Is short, the second is of an average length, and the thifd gives an absolutely triumphant illustration of hair which has been allowed to grow too long. Ii Is said that the surest way to Mir. Morton's heart is to remind him that his hair needs cutting. One should be careful, however, to make this fe- mark when the Vice. President is wear ing wig No. 3.

 In Brittany, a curious matrimonial custom prevails. On certain fete days, the young Indies appear in red petit coats, with white or yellow borders around them. The number of borders denotes the portion the father is willing to give his daughter. Each white band, representing silver, denotes one hum dred francs per annum, and each vel low band denotes gold and betokens one thousand francs a year. Thus a young man who sees face that pleases him has only to glance at the trimmings of tho petticoats to learn what amount accompanies the wearer-Argohaut.
