mark will be reached withint the next
week, and when all the gold due is
paid in the reserve will be between
| $l04, 100000 and $l05,00 900. The
Treasury deficit for the fiscal year, up
TO date. aggregates S46,Sl3,59 Still
this does not include the deficit in
postal affairs, but will be subject to
some reduction before the month
comes to a close aud the new fiscal
year begins. 1t is estimated that,
outside Of postal affairs, the year will
close with deficit Of about $40, 600.
600 The deficit for the present month
is 81 ,066,0 99 The general receipts
of six months have not been very much
more than for other months during
the present year, but those from Gus.
toms have been perceptibly increased,
and expenditures are also reduced on
account of the cessation Of govern
mental operations generally during
the summer Therefore there is a
noticeable and creditable reduction
IN the deficit for this month. Those
who are attacking the administration
claim that 1t is the policy OF the
Treasury Department 10 postpone all
obligations possible until the begin.
ming Of the next fiscal year in order
10 make as good a showing as posi-
bic. These same critics have been all
along predicting that the deficit would
be more than s55,O0OOO0. and they
will necessarily take refuge behind
this charge VI postponed disburse
ments In fact, the remaining six
days are expected to reduce the def
cit for this month very materially and
it is hoped will completely wipe il
out But even the opponents Of Sec
rotary Carlisle's policy can Gnd no
cause for alarm IN the present condI
ton Of the Treasury. The cash bal.
ance-that is, the working cash bal.
ance which IS found by subtructing
the fractional silver coin. the interest
on bonds and the interest paid on the
gold reserve from the available cash
balances 500. 595, 1876. This will
carry the Government easily until
December, at any rate For with the
new appropriations becoming ayaila-
BILE and everything starting on a new
basis, It Is not 10 be feared that the
deficit for the first five months Of the
new fiscal year will reach such an
amount as il now on hand.

The action of the Republican
League convention at Cleveland in
resolving not to resolve, and In yield
ing to peacemaker Patton's terms
brings to mind a story as told Of tive
darkies in the settlement OF an out
standing bill
A colored man was standing with
his back to a wall of a grocery on
Gratiot avenue, near Beaublen street,
a night or two ago, when a second OF
the same complexion came along and
exclaimed:
"Ho! OATS you, am It'll lie been
wantin' to see yo' fur a good while.

"Fo dullars2" queried the other.

"Of co'se yo' doesl What 70 keep

"When?"

"Show me dat changed"
"Hul niger, doan' 20 fool wild

"Coon, doan' yo' monkey with buzz

"Hu!"
"Hul"
And then they breathed hard and
glared at each other, and began back
ing off, and 60 seconds later darkness
bid them and the angel of peace smil-
ed as before.
