The nankrupted Trsaaulr.


Philadelphia Times.
The Press is gradually drifting within
the lines Of the regulation organ. It has
often given sober warnings In both edi-
torial and news columns against tho
reckless drift toward national bank
ruptcy, but now when its admonitions
are more than justified 1t turns up as q
stone blind organ and yesterday trium-
phantly asks, "What is the use Of going
on yelling that the Treasury is bankrupt,
when it is sure to 60 on in sight OF all
the land paying its billsG
Why does not the Press tell the exact
truth about the Treasury II has given
It at times and it would command much
moro respect for its sayings II it contiu-
ued to state the precise facts about the
Treasury. II knows that the Treasury
is solvent to- day solely because of a
forced loan Of City millions from a sacred
trust fund for the redemption Of bank
notes. which is now an increase Of the
debt to that amount. With this forced
loan that would dishonor any man 10 the
financial transactions OF private life, a
loan Of about like amount maturing In
september must be extended because the
government is unable to meet its obliga-
tions The plain truth is that the gov
ernment, that only a year or so ago
bought In its undue bonds at an enor-
nous premium to get surplus revenues
out into business channels, now publicly
confesses It's inability to meet its matur-
Ing obligations and when it is
remembered that the amount Of the
bonds maturing in September Is
less than one-half the Treasury surplus
when the present administration came
into power. the humiliation Of this ina
bility to pay the bonds will be keenly
appreciated

THR ungrstsiul Republicans are not
only trying TO lay the sin Of Johnson S
slevation at the door Of Lincolns tomb,
but they are trying to prove that he said
one thing to Mcclure and another thing
TO Nicolay. Eicolsy is ons OF the authors
Of that interminAble account or the uni
verse euriously called "A History Of Lin-
coin. As Nicolay has proved
himself capable OF saying
everything in those bulky volumes, It il
easy to imagine that be is liable to say
anything. We viii await with some
anxiety what Dana aud Halstead have tc
say. They have some talents and capa

SOME fresh and ignorant correspondent
who ought to know better sent the fol
lowing despatch TO the New York Press
Chancellor Willard Salisbury to-day
granted al injunction restraining the
Republican Levy Court from placing
upon the assessment lists the names OF
over A, 600 men who have paid their taxes
and have receipts. The action OF the
chancellor is publicly denounced, and
his decision is only spoken Of fayorably
by a few Democratic tricksters. This
decision will keep the county ont OF
about 50 600, and II the Republicans re-
fuse TO sign the duplicates now ready
for the receiver of taxes no taxes will be
collected this year By this the county
will suffer a loss Of more than 81 900 600,
Any person who has intelligence
enough to send off news of any sort
whatever ought to know that In granting
an injunction the able, honorable and
bipartisan Chancellor Salisbury did not
make decision The correspondent,
who did not know that is not likely to be
careful enough to be truthful, hence it is
not strange he should say that "the
action of the chancellor Is publicly de
nounced That Is as untruthful as the
other Is ignorant. Perhaps II suits
the Press TO pay for that sort OF truthless
nonsense, but 1t is no credit TO the cor
respondent, no matter how ignorant he
may be, and 1t is certainly reckless and
unjust towards the distinguished chan
cellor, to say that his decision" has
been publicly denounced. The chansel.
lor on proper application set the case
for heaiing.

disputes are unavoidable even by refined

Kerens to stand the slight imposition ON

AN editorial in the Courier Journal
advocates Senator John g. Carlisle OF
Kentucky for the Democratic candidate
for the Presidency after Cleveland. But
Senator Carlisle never said Il am q
Democrat. II is true he has said several
other things, but they will not count
unless the people that is, those Of a
certain calibre or Of au uncertain feslty-
have some definite announcement OF the
fact that he Is Democrat, only that and
nothing more.
