THE PUBLIC DEBT.
An Increase for November OF Eight
Million Dollars.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-The state
ment of the public debt issued today
shows that on Nov. 30, the debt, less
cash in the treasury, amounted to
$9S5, 7e9, 1885, an increase for the month
of $S,270, 203. This increase is account
ed for by a corresponding decrease in
the amount Of cash on hand. The debt
is recapitulated as follows: interest
bearing debt, $S47, 1864, 500; debt on which
interest has ceased since maturity,
81, 591, $40; debt bearing no interest
1872, 170,117 Total, 81, 221, I26, 257.
This, however, does not include $751;
1923 in certificates and treasury
notes outstanding, which are offset by
an equal amount of cash in the treas
ury. The cash in the treasury is re-
capitulated as follows: Gold, $169 ST.
101; silver, sos. $50, $50; paper, $1S9, &c.
los; bonds, disbursing officers balances,
etc, SIT, 137,872. Total, $835,961,529.
Against this there are demand liabili-
ties amounting to $610,604.4S1, which
leaves a cash balance in the treasury
of 500, 557. 09S.

ON THE OTHER LEG.

AS the merry holiday season comes
around once more, there appears the
familiar shortage in the funds of sew
eral Of the city departments, but this
time the boot is on the other leg A
year ago the Republicans were reading
us long and sorrowful lectures on the
virtue of economy and it's rarity under
the sun of a Democratic administration.
They scored the police department up
and down and crosswise for so far de-
spising public opinion and refusing to
accommodate its expenditures to it's
income as to overrun the limit set by
the tax estimate and the council appro-
priation. We were told how carefully
all the other departments had figured
what their necessary expenses would
be and then scaled them down pro rata
to bring themselves within the limit
of the sum allotted to them. This was
the duty Of all good citizens, and moth
ing but ''poIitical' police department
which did not have the interests of
the people at heart would have failed
to do likewise. The city comptroller
was particularly severe upon the police
authorities for not doing as the other
departments did and adapting outgo to
income
Another year has rolled around, but
the politics of the police department is
now Republican, instead of Democratic.
1t has been reorganized in the Republi-
can interest. It has been made a
has not been induced to adopt any
other financial policy. According to the
city comptroller's books, there has been
credited to the police fund this year a
trifie over $4,000 for the entire year.
Up to date the expenditures are over
$167 900. This leaves $4,000 with which
to pay a monthly salary roll of over
$4,000, together with incidental expen-
ses. That is to say, there is going to
be a bigger shortage than ever in the
finances of the police department, and
we expect our Republican friends to
tell US why they have not so admins
tered their trust as to keep within their
allowance. Will the Pioneer Press and
Comptroller McCardy and all those who
vociferated year ago about the crimi-
nal extravaganza of the police depart
ment, please explain why the economies
which they then declared to be no more
than were proper and necessary should
not be put into effect?

RETIRED GREENBACKs.

To the Editor Of the Globe
Will you please tell us, through the col
umns of the G o e, about how much of
the national currency paper was withdrawn
or retired from circulation after 1865 ineiud-
ing fractional currency?
Aberdeen, s. D., Nov. 80, 1886.
The greatest amount of greenbacks
outstanding was Jan. 8, 1864, when the
quantity was s449, 33S,902. Under the
retirement act of 1866 this was reduced
to 1856. 100000. In the panic of 1873
SIG, 900 600 were added. The resumption
act of 1873 fixed the amount at $780,

LIGHT ON THE CAPITOL PROBE

LIGHT ON THE CAPITOL PROJECT,
There are still a few newspapers in
the state which, either ignorantly or
naliciously, continue to misrepresenr
the proposition to push work and save
money on the new capitol building as
ture and add to the burdens Of taxa
ton. Here comes the New Ulm News,
laying itself open to the charge of in
excusable neglect in reading it's con-
temporaries, or inexcusable falsehood
in stating as facts what it has means
of knowing to be untrue. 1t says: Zone
of the main features of the legislature
Of the coming session will be an at
tempt on the part of ST. Paul to get
a much larger appropriation than was
fixed in the bill providing for the build
ing Of the new capitol in order to has
ten its construction 1t is not too much
to ask of our esteemed contemporary
that it publish a retraction and apology
of this, coupled as it is with the ma
Iicious statement that st. Paul is ready
to enter into all kinds of corrupt bar
gains to get this big appropriation. If
the News is as honorable and manly
as we desire to think it. it will make
confession of it's mistake
Let us repeat that no person in ST.

has ever proposed or desired or intends

Washington. June 6.-The Senate gave its al
most undivided attention to-day TO conference re-
ports on general appropriation bills. The first

was referred back for further conference.
The next conference report to come up was on
the Indian Appropriation bill All points OF dis
agreement had been settled IN prior partial re-
ports and y ere only remained two maj tiers to be
adjusted These were as to the payment OF law
vers' fees on the "Old Settlers or Western CAero-
KEGS claim and as TO contract schools for indian
chiliren. Both these Items were now adjusted
the first by an instruction 10 the Secretary OF the
Interior TO withhold the fund until further legisa-
ton is had and the second by limiting the con-
tinuance OF the contract schools to July /. 1876
instead of 1898 The conference report was
agreed To without a contest.
The third report was or the Naval Appropria-
ton bill 1t was a final report. but II was d'sa-
greed to-yess. 30; nays. 24-and the bill goes
back for further conference. The controversy was
