Pioneer Press, %: The treasury
officials figure out IA probable deficit at
the end OF the fiscal year ON june 30 OF
not less than s74,O00,O00. Meanwhile
the gold reserve, which had been replen-
ished by the recent bond issue 20 that it
reached over sl07. 100000, has been re-
duced by gold expectations to sSo,00n-
600. Tho outlook presented by these
figures is not encouraging. It is the
direct consequence, irst, OF the change
OF the tariff policy threatened by the
democratic party, and second, OF the
long lilly -dallying Of congress with the
measure before it. The industrial and
commercial depression brought about
largely by the first has been aggra
waited and continued by the second.
This has resulted in largely decreased
importations, and the consequent falling

is no help for it until the tariff question

country can adjust itself to the new con-

THE LATE GEN. SHERMAN.

SHERMAN received the degree of LID
from Harvard, Yale, Princeton and
Dartmouth.
SHERMAN was as light a sleeper when
in the field as the great Napoleon. He
rarely took more than five hours of
rest when the enemy wa near by.
SHERMAN was so overwhelmed with
social engagements that on n occa-
sion, taking out his engagement book,
he gave a friend an evening six weeks
in advance.
GEN. SHERMAN had four daughters.
The eldest, Eleanor, is the wife OF
Lieut.. Thackara, of the United States
navy, and another is the wife of Mr.. I.
w. Fitch, of Pittsburgh. The two
younger daughters, Lizzie and Rachel,
are unmarried.
GEN. SHERMAN used to tell that while
travelling in Ireland he was onc SER
enaded by a local band in Cork, To his
surprise and delight the musicians
played Marching Through Georgia.
lie inquired where they had heard the
tune, and was further surprised to heal
that it was a very old Irish air, the orr
gin of which was lost in the mists OF
antiquity.

The Next House.

The democratic congressional COM
mittee CLAIMS that the next house will
stand democrats, 1S9; republicans, 155,
and populists u. The republican con-
gressiohal committee is confident that
at least 1888 republicans will be elected,
to I73 democrats and populists.
In the present (dfty-third) congress
there are 219 democrats, 126 republi-
cans, and II populists, distributed
among the several sections of the cOun-
try. as follows: From the nine New
England and middle states, democrats
"A; republicans, So; from fifteen west
ern states, democrats, 40; republicans,
SO; popuIists, 10; from the Pacific
states and Nevada, democrats, 5, re-
p%ublicuns, 9, populists, /; and from the
sixteen southern and border states, de-
mocrats, III, republicans, 6.
1t is thought that the republicans
will have fully forty majority IN the
next house, and that the membership
from the same groups of states above
given will be about as follows: From
the New England and middle states.
democrats, %; republicans, II; from
the western states, democrats, 81: re-
|publicaps. SO; popullsts. 2; from the
Pacific states, democrats 2, republicans
0, populists !; and from the southern
and border states; democrats 104, re-
publicans %; or a total of democrats
l55, republicans los, and populists3. In
this classification where the populists
have fused with the democrats they
are called democrats. and where they
have fused with the republicans, as in
Tennessee and South Carolina, they are
classed with republicans. The results
are estimated as follows:

INSURANCE.

The Novel Scheme of Cooperation In
vented by q Boston Genius.
A form of practical insurance against
want is under Amusement in this city,
in which a large portion Of the laboring
people should be deeply interested, says
the Boston Herald. A w%orking-man is
often thrown out of employment and re-
duced to great distress because he has
little or no money laid by, and is un-
ableto provide for his board and lOdg-
ing while out of employment. 1t has
been suggested that a peoples mercan-
tile company might be formed among
themselves which would undertake to
provide board and lodging with land
lords at the rate of 81, IS or Sc a week,
on such terms that, after one month Of
regular payments, n weeks board at
half pay might be placed to the credit
of the interested party, so that if he
were out of work or sick, or otherwise
disabled, he might not be brought to
discomfort because he could not pay his
board. At this rate in six months a
man would be entitled to one and a half
months credit for board, and in one year
to three months credit for board, which,
! at half rates, would only cost him the
price Of one and a half months board
anywhere.
This plan, IL it could be carried out,
would be a great relief to hundreds of
working people who are suddenly disa-
bled or compelled to be idle. 1t would
be impossible for anybody to fall rapidly
in debt to such a company, and only
in cases OF extreme misfortune
would persons be willing to sur
render their certain insurance of
food and lodging, which would grow
larger as the years rolled by. A COM
pany Of this kind would need to
have a responsible backing in order to
secure public confidence, but though it
has never been attempted, it could
easily be conducted on the basis which
is common to similar undertakings.
Payments would be made to landlords
the same as now, and the company,
after collecting a twenty per cent. dis
count every week for a month, could af-
ford to give one weeks credit and do
business on that basis. The credits
would not be transferable except by
consent of the company of directors,
and would be dealt with by them in the
same manner as if they were a life in
surance policy. When such a company
was established its range of restaurants
or lodging and boarding-houses would
be such as TO meet the wants of ali
classes of people, This is a system OF
cooperative effort, but it would be a
company that could accumulate capital
and increase its resources in proper
ton to it's membership. 1t would thus
be a safe investment for individuals
without involving them in any personal
responsibility beyond what their regular
payments would demand.
This organization is not yet in exist
enc but it is one of the first practical
suggestions for self-help which has
sprung out of the movement for Chris
tian socialism in Boston, and when it is
properly developed and brought into
shape it looks as if it might meet a pres
ent and pressing need among people
who are not ~forenanded and are not ac
customed to making investments 70
themselves.

Women as physicians we are becoming
