No NERp ftk ALARM.

The STATE CHRONICLE, early after the
adjournment Of the Legislature, expires
sed the opinion that the appropriations
for the two years would not exec ed the
receipts Afterwards We saw it stated
that the Legislature ought 10 have ill.,
ure to do so would result in a def
cheney when the Legislature assem-
bled in 1898.
The editor of the CHRONICLE yesterday
had a conference with State Treas
uror Balm, AID mi h him went over the
appropriations made and the receipts
from all sources that can be relied upon.
With full knowledge of al. the finan-
cial operations OF the State Mr. Balm stat
ed to us: ''There will bs deficit for the
first year, but am confident that the re-
ceipts for the two years will equal the
expenditures"
MR. Balm stated his reasons for this
faith, among which we may mention:
1 There will be no General Assembly
for 1892. This usually costs from $6O, 900
to $62, 900.
2. It is reaso:. able to suppose that
there will be some increase from the new
assessment of property this year.
8. A number Of the appropriations
made are specific and not perpetual, and
are not to be calculated in the annual
expenditures.
4. 1t is not anticipated that the whole
Of the appropriation for the enfor cement
of the oyster law will be necessary. 1t
is not expected by the friends Of the
oyster law, from present indications, that
more than one third of the appropria-
ton will be called for to carry out the
provisions OF that law
MIR. BAIN is a very accurate and
painstaking officer a. d does not make
mistakes. No man understands the con
dition of the Treasury or the financial
operations of the State so we'll as he, and
no man in the State is more careful to
keep within bounds. His statement.
therefore, is full answer to all the S ate
ments of alarmists. There was no need
to increase the State tax. and the re-
ceipts will equal the expenditures for the
succeeding two years This is very graf
flying particularly when we recall the
fact that this Legislature made many
progressive movements, and gave a fresh
impetus to educational and material
progress.

Per Diem of the Billion Congr. s..

iFrom the Philadelphia Record, Dem.l
The expenditure of the billion Con-
gress is such bewildering total that it
Is hard to grasp it. 1t has to be divided
op and thought of in separate sums. It
amounted to $4,000, 900 per day while
Coac-ess was in session. Counted in
silver dollars there was Q metal weight
of 5000 tons. This would make an out
lay OF 6 tons per day, or about $525
apiece sor each Senator ana, Representa-
tive. For the two sessions of 500 days
the expenditure was at the rate of S23 a
,ac,na This is . toierably rapid gait.
III is not probable that the billion Con
gress will ever find its equal for rapac-
ious proAigacy.

important than the discoveries of New

After study of fifty years he has
learned that every 20,903 years the
earth charges its north and south poles
on account of the magnetism of the
earth The sun so strongly attracts one
OF the poles and repels the other that
in every 20,903 years the earth becomes
so heavily charged it turns so degrees.

Rocks 10 brother OF the brave union

TO Florida several years ago because OF
his wlle's delicate health. The health

his condition Friday, which filled

he would win the battle, gave way to

DUTCH DIAMONDS.

Ehe Influence Upon the Industry Of O Re-
duct,on In Prices.
Last year was a very serious one for
the Dutch diamond industry, says the
London Times, which was nearly par
slyzed by the action of the De Beers
Company, of Kimberley, in reducing the
production Of the raw diamond from
four million to two million carats per
xnnum in order to keep up prices. The
price of raw diamonds rose more than
enc hundred per cent. at the mines, and
it proved impossible to obtain proper
tSonate advance for the cut article.
This state of things, says the British
Consul at Amsterdam in his last report,
coming on top Of too great an imitation
n the cutting industry in Amsterdam.
created the greatest distress among the
diamond workers, who, as class, have
the reputation Of being very thriftless.
For several months at the close Of the
year orders for cut diamonds were alto
gether wanting, and not .only were q
great number Of families reduced to alb
solute destitution, but most Of the new
cutting mills, which have been erected
Of late, were closed and will probably
Eave to be devoted to other purposes.
Since the close of the year the position
sz the diamond works rather improved.
The price of cut diamonds has risen so
far as to give some margin for the cost
Of cutting, ETC., but the demand Is by
10 means sufficient to keep the mills
and diamond workers Of the city en-
Ployed. A good deal of cutting Is now
done there for London account direct.
