He'd water for all uses. hut

So he drove piles and fixed a float.
And built a cedar shack.

there Ia room for the belief that the
sealers thought II was q good time to
make Q stake.
The estimates Of the sealers were no
doubt based upon the prosperous times
when sealing created fortunes. The
commission has based its award upon
the conditions prevailing during the
past few years. and 1t seems to bear
just the proportions that the old con-
ditions bear to the new.
Gen. John w. Foster Is of course
justified in the expectation that the
present administration will honor the
promises made in the name of the ma
ton under the presidency of Grover
Cleveland Obligations Of this char
acter are not affected by changes Of
administration or OF party power.
Even il there were reasons to question
the judgment which assented to the
agreement with Great Britain, which
Is BY no means the case. this country

There is a prospect that during the
month of December the government will
show a surplus of receipts over expendi-
lures. breaking the long course of deficits
that has continued for several years. 1t
is not expected that Immediately succeed
ing months will show surplus. even II
that result is obtained In December; but
the showing is encouraging and tends to
Indicate that the Diugley tariff will meet
all exp Citations. AT the average rate for
the first nine days Of December the total
for the month would have reached Sa1.-
oco, oeo, while the total government outlay
In 1896 was s24, 900. This is less than
average. but probably Ii will not be much
higher during the same period in 1887.

Once he was the silent Croker. now
he is Croker. the loauacious. 1t Is curious
TO observe that by his actions he openly
interprets the late election as an express
sion on the part Of the people of New
York that he shall be placed at the head
Of affairs in that city for the ensuing four
years. The situation Is accepted without
protest by Van Wyck and with no sur
prise by the public. 1t has resulted in
Croker opening his mouth and talking as
he never talked before. He Is besieged
by politicians and reporters. His opinions
are sought and freely given on rapid

tics. Van Wyek Is nobody. Croker. the
