How to Cover a Treasury Deficit

How to Cover n Treasury Deficit.
Louisville Courier-Journal.
The first step should be aradical reduc-
tion of expenses. Offices should be con
solidated, and hundreds should be abol-
ished Appropriations should be re-
duced. Subsidies should be cancelled
and strenuous efforts should be made to
bring the expenses within the revenues.
The customs should be reduced in order
to increase the revenue. For instance,
the tax on tin plates should be restored
TO cent, the revenue basis, from the
Mckinley rate of % cents per pound.
Revenue duties would largely increase
the revenues, and, at the same time,
would greatly reduce taxation. The Sugar
Trust is protected by duty
on refined sugar of half a cent
having raw sugar free. The result is
the Sugar Trust, instead of the Govern.
ment, collects the tax. The tax of hall
a cent should be applied TO all sugar, raw
and refined, or IL should be abolished.
II it were put on all sugar the price
would not advance, but $16, 600, 900 now
collected by the Trust would be collected
by the Treasury. In addition to this
the sugar bounty should be abolished

TEE contention of the letter Of Mr.
Bayard addressed to the Philadelphia
Ledger and printed in the EVENING
JOURNAL of yesterday, is "The proposed
free coinage of silver is nothing but a
proposition to use public laws to further
private profits" The law enacted in
1890, and known as the Sherman act.
provides for the purchase Of 1916 tons Of
silver bullion at a stipulated price far in
excess Of its actual value, in order to en-
hance the value Of silver. It was the
vagary Of those who advocated that act
from disinterested motives. that silver
being thus enhanced in value, would
soon be at par with gold dollar Those
who owned the silver mines knew that
they would derive great profits if the
government became steady customer
for the amount that was then consid-
cred the surplus over the commercial use
of and demand for silver. But, under
that stimulus a greater quantity OF
silver was mined. so that the surplus
steadily increased and prices steadily
declined. The law not only takes the
peoples money TO increase the profits of
those silver miners, and fails to sustain
the price of silver, but It giuts the
market and depresses the price.
It not only does not accomplish, the
alleged object for which the act
was passed, but it fails to accomplish
the real object, bad as that object was.
The remedy is to repeal the Sherman act
but, even then, the government shall
have bought and stored hundreds o
millions of dollars worth of useless silver
bullion on a depreceating market, which
It cannot coin and cannot sell. The
general remedy for such legislation is
as Mr. Bayard says, to place "the greai
and essential powers Of government
over men high out of the reach anC
beyond the control of private greed %

Great Damage at Asbury Park--A schoon-
er's Crew Saved.
AsBURY PARK, N. j., May 20,-The
terrific northeast storm that has been
raging along this section of the coast
has caused great damage in many parts
of the beach and Sandy Hook. AT Squan
Beach a two-masted schooner came
ashore opposite the Beach House late in
the afternoon.
Some of the crew, discovering that the
vessel was going TO pieces, jumped over
board and swan ashore. The high sea
and tempestuous waves drove the vessel
on the inner bar, where she lies in
helpless shape and is fast breaking up.
Between Seabright and Shark River
considerable damage to the shore front
is reported. At the foot of Chelsea ave-
nue., Long Branch, the bluff has been
further cut into, making the passage of a
single vehicle on Ocean avenue extreme
ly dangerous. The southern part of the
bluff, which has recently been bulk
headed, successfully resisted tbs on
slaught of the heavy sea.

Part of the Trouble in the Irish National
list Party Amicably Settled.
DUBLIN, May 20.-The trouble in the
Irish Nationalist party over the pur-
chase of the "National Press by the
directors of the 'Freeman's Journal
has been settled at a meeting of the par
ties to the squabble. Dispatches had
been received from America intimatinE
that the discord exhibited during the
past few days among the Nationalist
was causing great harm and diminish
ing the confidence of the friends of Ire
land, and earnestly urging a settlement
of the affair.
At a meeting of the directors and
shareholders Mr.. Gray moved that Mr..
John Dillon be appointed chairman of
the 'Freeman's'' Joint Stock Company.
Mr.. Healy, to the surprise of those
not in the secret of the peace or armis-
tice, seconded the motion, which was
carried almost unanimously.
This result is considered a surrender
on the part of Healy, who had expected,
with the influence of Archbishop Walsh
sustaining him, to be able to stamp out
all opposition. In this he was defeated
by the resolute course of Mr.. John Dillon,
and the opinion is generally expressed
that Mr.. Dillon's course may smooth the
way TO o reconciliation of the factions.

TWO GOOD WOMEN.

The Charitable and Benevolent Work
They Are Doing i'm Europe.
Not far from the renowned st. La
care, near Paris, a woman's prison,
lives Nine. Dumas, who, continuing the
work of Elizabeth Fry, has spent most
of her life among women prisoners, has
won them back from the downward
path 10 a better life and even then con-
tinued TO act as their guardian angel.
As a witness o fhow well she ~persevered
in her task is the fact that in her eighty
second year she learned Spanish TO en-
able her TO make herself understood
among Andalusian prisoners.
In a different but equally bad part Of
Paris is a woman who is like a flint
stone in whose heart a Duby is set. No
body knows her in Paris. Yet perhaps
from no place in the world are so many
silent blessings sent forth as from this
good Samaritan's walls. No sorrowful
and heavy-laden person is refused en-
trance 10 her home. Even the girl who
is seemingly lost is not shut out from
help. The peculiar thing in the minis
try OF Mime. Appia is that she collected
nj money for her work in the well-to-do
circles. -Julius Post, in ~Chautauquan.
