War is on between the Belfast city gov
eminent and the school committee. The
latter body has persisted in keeping closed
certain district schools which the mayor
and city council have voted to keep open.
1t is difficult for one outside the field Of
controversy to form correct opinion re-
specting the merits and demcrits. IL
may, however, be safely assumed that the
principle of fewer and better schools in
those places where the number of school
children Is annually growing smaller Is
correct. But in carrying it out great care
should be exercised in providing for the
education Of all the children deprived OF
school in their own district. Where the
schools are far removed adequate trans
portatlon for the children should be pro-
vided. This done the school children in
the sparsely populated districts are assured
of a better education than could otherwise
be had. This fact Is already being widely
recognized and its application is sure TO
he extended But AS to its application to
those districts in Belfast we are not able
to Judge.

Mr.. Curtis is one of the assistant secre-
taries of the Treasury He is also one OF
the maddest men in Washington, but he
isn't mad enough to resign-there is very
comfortable salary attached to his office,
and barring accidents he expects to con-
tnue drawing it until March 4th, 1897.
Mr. Curtis pet halucination, which, by
the way, isn't shared by anyone else, IS
that he is a great fnancier During last
week Mr.. Curtis was in New York fitting
about among the members Of the syndicate
and other bankers, and having his daily
movements chronicled in the newspapers
in connection with speculations as to why
he was there and what sort Of financial
deal he was making. Hewas in his glory,
but it was short lived. The treasury depart
ment gave to the press a statement saying
that Mr. Curtis was on his vacation and
that if he spent a good portion OF his ume
in Wall street it was for his own pleasure
or business and had no connection wnat-
ever with the governments finances.
That took all the wind out of his sails, ana
he came back to Washington mad all over
He can't say anything to his superlors TOT
fear that he may be called upon to resign
that comfortable salary, buthe is taking q
out on the poor devils who are unfortunate
enough to be his subordinates.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

secretary Carlisle now knows what de-
elsiOn Mr.. Cleveland and his Wall street
advisers have arrived at concerning gov
eminent finances and another issue Of
bonds On Saturday he was telegraphed
cor BY Mr.. Cleveland, and, although he
had TO break several important engage
ments to do so, he caught the first train
from Washington. Some people might not
consider it proper or digniied for the Sec
rotary of the Treasury of the United States
to be hnrriedly called upon to travel several
hundred miles in order to ascertain what
the Treasury Department was going to do,
but Mr.. Carlisle. if he hasn't become used
to that sort of treatment, has at least to
grin and bear it, as it is about the only
kind he gets from Mr.. Cleveland. When
the last bond issue was determined upon
Mr.. Cleveland and Mr.. Carlisle were both
in Washington, but Mr.. Carlisle didn't
know anything about it until after MEM
Der of the syndicate which negotiated the
deal with Mr.. Cleveland got back to New
York and was interviewed for newspa
per. So it is not probable that he was sur
prised to be summoned to Buzzard's Bay
to learn what he must do.
Treasury officials have been little cas-
Ter in mind during the last few days, as
there has been less demand for gold for ex-
port, but they know that more money must
be had from somewhere sooner or later,
even If not another dollar in gold is sent to
Europe for a year. The receipts of the gov
eminent are way below ifs expenditures
and it is only question of time when the
gold reserve will have to be encroached
upon to meet the governments current ex-
penses, as this administration has already
had to do, unless Congress comes to the
rescue by providing for more revenue. This
the Republican Congress will be glad to
do. but it is not so certain that its method
of doing it will be acceptable to Mr.. Cleve-
land. as the revenue will be provided for
bv tariff revision along the lines Of Repub-
lican protection for American industries.
