than it was last July.
On the other hand, the silver held by the
Treasury has increased during the last year
S45.4OO.OO0, of which S42,774,52O has been
in bullion purchased. The silver dollars IN
circulation have scarcely increased, for the
Treasury holds more than it did year ago OF
the amount coined. The amount OF subsldiafN
silver lying idle has decreased ,444, ana
81 200, 900 coined has also been added 70 the
circulation The outstanding silver certlncatcs
have increased only 1920, 600 and the mann
change in note circulation has been the issue
of $40, 1905 900 Treasury notes against silver
bullion purchased
In the circulation there has been an increase
Of SO. 600. 900 in specie during the year.
So. OOO. 600 gold and about S5,O00,O0O silver
The total circulation of paper is 81 ''ooz'
III, against 81, O55, 679,52S year ago, an
increase of less than S12, 000. 600, the decrease
in geld certificates largely balancing the IN
crease in new Treasury notes. Dunog the
wear the volume If circulation has not increased
quite as fast as the population, according to
Government estimates, which make the clrcl-
lation per capita S24 80, against S2i 90 year
ago but the decrease is insignificant consider

The remarkable increase in revenue accounts
in part for the satisfactory condition OF the
Trc,strv Customs rpceiDtS during the first
half Of the current fiscal year ending Deem
Der 81 lave been Sl4, 1873 sS6 larger than for
the same months Of 1891. This is due to the
heavy increase in imports, which bears constant
testimony to the activity of industries here, and
70 the ability Of the people to purchase and
consume The internal revenue for the half
wear has been 81, 556416 larger, and this again
gives evidence of the prevailing prosperity.
In miscellaneous receipts there was decrease
of S2.3O3I5O, but in all receipts for the half
year an increase Of S2O,10S,593. This has
suil,cCd to meet tho increase OF Sl9,0o261G
in pensions payments during the half year,
which is substantially the entire increase i'll
expenditures for that period. In brief, the
National prosperity has proved so great that

PRESENTATION or THE NORTH wOoDS

That part of Governor Flowers message
which refers 10 the Adirondack Park is inter
cstinc and sensible. The results accomplished
thus far, after seven years OF discussion ana
endeayor. are, az no says, disappointing. They
are. however, more encouraging than there has
often seemed reason to hope for even after a
much longer period of agitation. If nothing
more had been done than to call into being
the strong sentiment which now prevails in
favor of preserving forever from destruction
a large forest area the time would not have
been wasted. The Indifference of the people
Of thi. State on this subject was long tho
greatest obstacle in the way Of protecting the
North Woods. II seemed impossible to con-
vince them of tho magnitude Of the dcvasta-
ton and that tho consequences which were
predicted would surely cnsuc. The Governor
now has the satisfaction Of reporting that the
preservation of the Adirondacks is the estab-
lished policy of the State and is heartily APP
proved by the people We believe that he is
not mistaken on that point He has given the
question not little thought, has had abundant
opDortunity TO ascertain what others think
about it, and is doubtless justified in bis cSti-
mate of public opinion on the subject. Look
ing back over this seven years war we see that
though a brilliant victory has not been won,
some solid ground has nevertheless been
gained
Aside from this indispensable enlightenment,
tho general conditions have improved in some
respects. 1t Is far better for the State that
large tracts of forest land should be owned by
a few associations and individuals than that
the ownership should be divided among n
multitude Of proprietors DESTROYS only Of turn
ING timber into cash a. soon as possible without
regard to their own permanent advantage or
the general welfare. Hundreds of thousands
OF acres are now owned or controlled by per-
sons who have acquired them for the express
purpose Of rational use and enjoyment, incud-
ing perhaps profitable cultivation. But this
will improve instead of injuring them, from a
public as well as private point of view. This
cooperation on a large scale Of individuals
and the State is not, in our Judgment an ideal
solution Of the Adirondack problem. Ii would
be better for the State 10 own and control abb
solutely forest area sufficient for the Drotec-

Year after year there is more or less of
popular demand for short legislative session
at Albany. But nothing comes of it, and moth
ing can well come of it until our lawmakers
decide to curtail or to abandon altogether the
weekly recess and give more time to their
public duties. Indeed, until some substantial
reform is accomplished in this matter there
must necessarily be good deal of hasty and
crude lawmakng if the session is not prolonged
well into the summer. According to the Gus
tom which has been in force for many years
both houses meet at II a. m and adjourn at
D. III. on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thurs
Gays On Fridays ali adjournment is taken
until Monday at D. IL. and in order to enable
members residing in counties remote from the
capital TO catch trains which will land them
at their homes at not too late an hour of the
night. the Friday session frequently ends a.
early as / p. IN.
Now. in the nature of things, it is impos-
sible for our lawmakers 10 turn out much good

THE TREASURYAND PUBLIC PROSPERITY.

Many fancful imaginings and distorted
dreams about the condition Of the Treasury
are set at rest by the annual reports just issued.
Though changes continue which must IN tlme
work mischief unless our Government ceases
10 stand under the silver market FOR the ex-
elusive benefit of foreign Powers, yet the
changes in December and during the year 1892
have been met by such wise management IN
the Treasury. and by such unusual increase III
the revenue. that the resulting condition at the
beginning Of the new year fully iuStliicS the
mistaken confidence Of the business world IN
the National currency and credit The public
debt exclusive of certificates and notes issued
against specie Oh hand, was actually diminished

50 2I2.797 was by redemption Of bank notes
which the Government has undertaken to pay
since the transfer of the bank redemption fund
10 the general Treasury account The debt on
which interest has ceased also decreased
$3.50. 900 The changes Of an unsatisfactory
character have resulted only from the Substi-
tuton OF silver for gold in the reserve, owing
70 the unusual outgo of gold to Europe
In 1892 it appears the gold held by the
Treasury decreased S4O5O0, goo, while the GER
tiGcates outstanding decreased only S3l,OOO,-
600, 50 that the amount owned by the Treasury
was diminished $4,000 600. This is a move
mcnt in the wrong direction, and yet much
smaller change than was at various times APP
pretended. The Treasury begins the new year

The Cause Of a Slight Blaze II Freight Sta
ton Menday norsins.

Atl050 O'Clock Monday morning an
rlarm was rung in from box 35.
The fire department responded with great
promptness. the Cushnocs having line Of
hose almost before the last alarm sounded.
The fire was in the Maine Central freight
house on the west side Of the track just be-
Low Bridge street.
A spark from the locomotive Of train No.
II. which came in few minutes late,
was the cause Of the fire.
A young man standing just outside the
freight office noticed the roof of the house
blazing and called Station Agent +. Il.
Parkman out. The latter dispatched his
clerk Harry T.. Walker, to ring in an alarm,
and went himself to the scene of the fire.
The roof was in blaze over an area of
perhaps couple of yards square. The
cinders were dropping through upon some
hay and straw bales which Charles l..
Mars,on had stored there. Mr.. Parkman
had the bales thrown out and the blaze in
side stamped ont
The minute the Cushnocs' stream struck
the roof the fire was at an end. The dam
age will amount to but few dollars. The
fire light have been serious had ii not been
for the prompt work of the department,
who put it out in about 10 minutes.
