THE STATE OF THE TREASURY.

II is to be regretted that so many statements,
not altogether agreeing in details, have been put
forth of late by officials of the Treasury Depart
ment. Secretary Fosters was quite sufficient to
clear away misapprehensOn, except on the part
of those who listen to partisan statements only.
The regular monthly reports issued May l were
not altered in FORM and supplied all the details
necessary for full understanding Of the Situa-
ton Whoever represents in the face Of these
reports that the Treasury has really available"
only $4,000, 900 is obviously not engaged in
trying to tell the truth.
1t was well that Secretary Foster promptly
dsavowed the notion wrongly attributed to him
that the coin and bullion in the Treasury and
the notes or certificates issued against that specie
could both be used to meet obligations AS he
stated the specie so represented must be re-
carded as a trust fund, held exclusively for the
redemption Of the paper issued. Misapprehen-
sion may be best and most surely avoided by
deducting from the specie held the full amount
of such notes or certificates in actual circulation
outside the Treasury. 1t ought to be unnecessary
to say that the notes in The Treasury and the
specie against which they were issued cannot
both be reckoned as available cash. In the fol.
lowing the certificates and silver notes in the
Treasury and no Others are considered:

THE COMING CAMPAIGN IN NEW-YORK

THE COMING CAMPAIGN IN NEW-fOhh
If the Republicans of New-YOrk choose they
can carry the fall elections this year. Ihere Is
M doubt about it. The assertion is based upon
several weighty considerations. which unite TO
render il incontestable Consider, first, the Re
n,blican record made in the Legislature OF 1891.
Il il y record that must commend our party to the
confidence of reputable voters The Republican
majority in the Senate and the Republican MI
norty in the Assembly stood for clean ana
economical government all through the session.
The Republican Senator'S, for example, made
gallant fight against the combined forces OF the
Governor the Lieutenant-Governor and the
Democratic Senators for an investigation OF
canal management Had the investigation been
ordered doubtless it would have exposed large
amount of corruption and inefliciency and so have
payed the way for reforms which would have
saved the taxpayers hundreds of thousands OF
dollars besides substantially improving that great
canal system which is one of the chief contribu-
tors to the States prosperity. Just before the
Republican Senators entered upon this laudable
work their brethren of the Assembly rendered
the people a service of equal value by striving
to defeat the infamous Rum bill. This measure
aimed to break down the excise laws and vastly
to increase the power for evil of The saloons II
passed the Assembly, but not by Republican
votes, and it could get no further-a hepuo-
lican Senate blocking the way. 1t is on this sort
of legislative record that our party is going to
the people in November.
Consider, second, the character OF the iegis-
lative record of the Democracy. The man
achievement of the Democratic Senators was
deadlock long prolonged in the interest Of un'
faithful and incompetent canal Officials The
main achievement of the Democratic Assembly
men was the Rum bill TO which we have re-
ferred--a measure Of which the Tweed ring
itself might have been ashamed. Acting in har
| mony with these Democratic legislators was ar
unscrupulous Democratic Governor who dictated
the deadlock and the passage Of the Rum bill
| and Democratic Lieutenant-Ge Governor who dis

The official publication in Rome of the CORE
spondence between Italy and this country on the
New Orleans affair is important for the reason
that it contains Premier Rudnis final dispatch
to the Marquis di lmperiali following Mr.
Blaines letter of April II. In this he limits the
duty of the Charge dAifares to the transaction OF
current business, and INDUCES in severe re-
hections upon our form of government, as well
as upon what he terms Mr.. Blaine's failure to
conform with diplomatic usages. The Premier
by this time had lost his temper, and his
language is confused. His explanation of his de-
mand for the punishment of the guilty does
not explain. since he afiirms that the United
States has denied the Legitimate demands" OF
Italy So long as he insists that our method OF
conducting our National and State affairs is all
wrong any further controversy" would be
"bootlessr indeed.

The Rev. Dr. Boutwell, succumbed yesterday to
the extraordinary accident which befell him
fortnight ago. His case has aroused widespread
concern not only because OF its novelty, but be.
cause Of his standing as a clergyman and the
brave battle for life which he had been making
for several days past. All that medical skill
could do for DR.. Boutwell, was presumably done,
and the medical history of the case, probably
without parallel, will possess uncommon interest.
The unfortunate clergyman's family and friends
will receive general sympathy in their afiiiction'
Both DIR. Ransford and DR.. Newton made
answers to their recent critics in the sermons they
preached yesterday. DIR. Rainsford apoogned
for departing from his usual custom by discuss
ing ecclesiastical matters, and insisted that
there is no church in the diocese where the laws
OF the Church are more implicitly obeyed than IN
St. Georges. He also criticised the course OF his
critics in that they themselves had passed ludg'
ment upon the question of his right to invite
clergymen Of other denominations to speak at
extra services in his church. DIR. Ralnsford
made a plea for Christian Undertaking issue
with the learned clergyman who recently termed
ID a bubble"-but denied that by union he
meant uniformity Without naming him, DR..
Newton replied to the structures of Father lg-
natius and made plea in behalf of charity as
greater than faith and the chief Of the Chris
tan virtues
Readers of THE TRIBUNE do not need to be
told that the claim of the Democrats that they are
entitled to all the credit for the low State tax
rate announced last week is simply piece OF
Democratic cheek" Some interesting figures
upon this point are however, furnished by our
Albany correspondent this morning. Taxpay-
ers may study them with profit. The Assembly,
with its Democratic majority, was inclined to ex-
trayagance, while the Republican Senate took
the opposite policy. The Senate Committee on
Finance, it appears, killed bills sent over from
the Assembly which, if passed, would have
added about S6,O0O,eO0 to the expenditures
Of the Legislature. Then, Of course, the bill
taxing legacies of personal property was Re-
