Choosing a Minister.

The parish Kirk of Driechton had been
rather unfortunate in its ministers, two of
them having gone off in decline within a
twelvemonth of their appointment, and
now, after hearing number of candidates
for the vacancy, the members were looking
forward with keen interest to the meeting
at which the election of the new minister
was to take p ace. ''Weel, Marget," asked
one female parishioner of another, as they
foregathered on the road one day, "wha

Condition of the National
Treasury.
FOSTER MAKES HIS REPORT.
There VIII Be a Small Surplus at the
End of the Current Fiscal
Year.
Special TO THE MORNING CALI.

WASHINGTON. Jan. %. - Chairman
Springer of the Ways and Means Committee
received from Secretary Foster of the treas
ury statement showing the condition of
the treasury and the estimated condition at
the end of the present and the end of the next
fscal'year. The statement shows that dur
ing the first six months oil the present fiscal
year the receipts from all sources were
S234, 1925, and expenditures S230.571 ,606
leaving an excess of revenues over the Or
binary expenditures of S3S48. 209; cash in
the treasury, including gold reserve, on July
l. 1892. S132. 143. 48S, and on December 81,
1892, S129.C92, 5SS.
The total estimated revenues for the fiscal
year ending June so 1893. are s466671. $50;
the total estimated expenditures S464, 671.-
800 leaving an estim ated surplus OF receipts
over expenditures for the current fiscal year
of exactly 81, 100000. The estimated cash
balance available June 30. 1898, is placed at
$40, 500, 81, which includes 500. 0O0,0 900 for
the gold reserve fund.
For the next fiscal year, ending June 80.
1894, the Secretary estimates the revenues
FROM all sources at $3.50, 121 1865, and the es
tim ated Xpenditures-whieh, however, do
not appear 10 include miscellaneous and eX-
raord mary eXpenditures-at S457. 261, 1876.
OF an estimated surplus OF $50, S60,0S0. To
this the Secretary adds SIC, 992, 3T7 cash
balance above the gold reserve estimated
available June 80 1893 making the esti-
mated available balance on June 30. 1894.
S53 $50, 407. from which must be deducted
$4,000 900 for redemption of past due bonds,
fractional currency and national bank
notes. and 100000 for the probable pay
meuts on mail subsidy contracts. leaving
balance of S47, So. 407.
1t is estimated that $40 600, 600 in con-
tracts will be payable in 1894. which would
bring the real working balance down to
1852. 407.
The expenditures on account of pensions
estimated In this statement for next year
amount to S166 S31 $50. or an increase over
the amount which it is estimated will be
spent for pensions this fiscal year of only
SIS, 4S6. $50.
The Secretary's statement for 1894 shows
SAC, 279. 03S contract liabilities to be deducted
from the SAT, So, 407 of the balance above
the gold reserve estimated as available
cash, but do not show clearly whether
S25 259, 35S of the contracts to be paid in
1898 has or has not been deducted in the
estimated cost above the gold reserve fund
of SIC, 992, 81, as estimated in the cash
balance available June 30. 1898. though It is
presumed it was deducted 10 figuring the
balance. Very little Is allowed to the
sinking fund in these estimates. and a sup
Elemental statement places the estimated
balance due the fund June so. 1894, at
$50, COL .6S7.
About So, COO coo Of the contract liabili-
ties is included IN the estimates of this year,
and therefore does not come out OF the esti-
mated cash balance at the end of this fiscal
year.

COLONIAL BONDAGE.
That Is What Governor Murphy Says
They Have i'm Arizona.

WASHINGTON, Jan. Ex-Governor MUIR
ply OF Arizona in speaking of the action of
the Republican Senatorial caucus yester-
day, which was adverse to the admission Of
Arizona as State, says: THAT action Is
by no means final. and many of the Sena-
tors have expressed their intention of in
vestigating the matter further. 1t is abso-
lutely untrue that Arizona is afflicted with
4 burdensome debt or that poverty exists
everywhere within her borders. We pro-
pose to fight. respectfully. but earnestly,
and the country at large is with US. Fur
Their. Colonial bondage for any OF the Ter
ritories is becoming dlstasteful to the Amer
lean people,
Later In the day Governor Murphy said
to THE CALL correspondent: II am not
not feeling so much discouraged as ] was
last night, and believe that after all Ari-
IONA will be admitted with New Mexico,
Utah and Oklahoma. l have talked with
several Senators who in the caucus opposed
Arizona, and they are free TO acknowledge
their mistake | also saw the President this
morning. and he assured me that he was not
opposed to AriZOna'S admission"
Representative Bowers of California was
very indignant at the actio n OF the caucus
in leaving Arizona out 10 the cold. He said
to-day that unless the Territory was in
Guided in the omnibus bill he and others
would flihuster against the admission Of
any OF the Territories.
