In more than one contest, has proven

1t is of importance to correct at this
time the false impression which Demo-
Gratis have persistantly labored to
create regarding the condition of the
federal Treasury as il is handed over
to the new Secretary. President
Harrison's Administration found on
it's advent to power a large and need
less surplus piled up which was daily
augmented by governmental receipts
tar in excess o Unnecessary expenditures.
This surplus was applied to the re-
duction of the national debt and the
revenues reduced to q basis Of
economical expenditure.
So long as the Republican party
was charged with the expenditure of
the revenues, there was no talk of in
solvency. But the Republicans of the
Fiity-first Congress could not foresce
the River and Iiarbor bills and the
other reckless appropriations with
which the last Congress has charged
The Treasury. The fiscal year ending
June 30, 1862, WAS the last for which
Republican appropriations provided.
That year has been passed, and the
current fiscal year. with the enormous
obligations saddled upon it by the first
session of the Congress just expired.
will end with a safe surplus in the
Treasury. Not until the government
is called upon TO face the tremendous
appropriations of the last session will
there be danger of a deficit. 1t is
conceded on all sides that the svail-
able balance in the Treasury on :, nc
June 30. 1898, will probably approXl-
mate S20,O00.000. Had the last House.
as it Wa, to all intents All purposes
pledged TO do, kept its appropriations
within the limit set by the Republi-
can Congress which Immediately pre-
eeded it, the surplus nextJune would
be s61,0oo,00o instead OF 20,O00.O00.
The Republican Administration
promptly met every dollar of obliga-
tons incurred by its party and safely
weathercd the first rear of Demo
cratic extravaganza. The attempt to
SHIFT responsibility upon The Repnb
lican party for whatever cmbarrass-
mcnts may appear three or four wears
after Republican control of the public
purse ended, is cowardIy and dis
honesty. ]. Press.

Later advices raducc the number
of lirss lest in the Boston fire Friday
to three. although many persons ap-
pear to have been injured. The loss
of property il estimated at between
100000 and Js5.00o,0O0. 1t is q re-
lief to know that the havoc especially
Of human life. was no greater. The
terrible confagration Of 1872, which
included the sres visited by the
flames last Friday, caused a loss of
forty lives. The property destroyed
was estimated. to be worth Sl5O.OOO..

1t may be of interest to those of our
Democratic friends who arc anxious
to have a postofice to know that the
total number of postofices in the
United States is 63,O35. The post
masters in S,SI3 of these are appoint
ed by the President and confirmed BY
the Senate. All the others are filled
by the fourth assistant postmaster
general. When Harrison became
President, four years ago, there were
28,009 postofices of all classes, of
which 1924 were Presidential. Cleve-
land will, therefore, have nearly a
thousand more Presidential postof-
fees to dispose of than had his pre-
aeccssor. During the last days Of the
administration Q large

The New York Sun wants to know
il, in the appointment Of Josiah
Quincy to be assistant secretary of
State, it was public service efficiently
performed, or partisan activity, which
led Mr.. Cleveland to make it! AS no
one has ever heard Of Mr.. Quincy
distinguishing himself in the public
service, and as MIR. Quincy was al the
head Of the literary bureau OF the
Democratic national committee last
summer it is to be SUPP osei that
partisan activity dictated this ap-
pointment.

Mans Dual Nature.

The practice of pittIng a mans pr.
vate virtues against his public sins. In
obituary estimates, tends, in the opin-
ion of the Waterman, to confuse moral
distinctions. A mans character is not
built like an ocean steamship in water
tight compartments Each mans life is
n unity. There is an underlying prin.
ciple which explains both his private
and pubic life, and, until we appre-
bend that, we do not know the man.
We arc quite familiar with the human
type which is nl sanctity in public and
very far from q saint in private. Just
now. however. another type Is evolv-
ing. narlely. that Of the man who is all
hardness and avarice and s~elf-seeaing
in public. but who is an angel the
moment he crosses his threshold and
gets on his drcssing-gown and slippers

Concurrently with the great de-
mand for rubber created by the de-
velopment of electrical inventions
which call for large quantities of this
insulating substance there have APP
peared undoubted signs of failure in
the sources of rubber supply. Ii
takes many years for newly planted
rubber trees to attain maturity, and
this mode of furnishing :he supply
seemed rather hopeless. But Yankee
ingenuity was equal to the occasion.
A method of making rubber from
crude cottOnseed oil has been invent
and a factory down in Savannah
is successfully manufacturing it. The
process is secret, but it is said that
oil worth $135 a ton is delivered at
the factory and comes out in the form
Of rubber worth $1,000 q ton.
