NOT A SURPLUS FUND.

The s5o,ooO,OOO just appropriated to put
the country In posture OF defense Is
part of the money borrowed by President
Cleveland to maintain the public credit.
He obtained it by an issue Of bonds. and
but for the issue Of bonds the $4,000, 900
would not now be on hand. 1t is not part
of any surplus" or OF accumulated rev.
enue or anything of that sort. 1t is sim
ply remnant of the slOO,OOOOOO of gold
Mr.. Cleveland borrowed to strengthen the
dwlndling gold reserve. That nancy has
helped-along with the cash received for
the Union Pacific-to run the government
In spite of annual deficits, and it> is de-
ceiving the public to calllt a Surplus. :"
The Baltimore Sun thinks Congress
should pass vote of thanks to Mr.. Cleve
land for giving it the 100000 which is
so handy just now.
1t IL, indeed, strange that men claiming
to be very familiar with government
finances should allege that the fifty mil
lions were surplus fund. While there is

PERSONAL PROPERTY TAX.

In the able speech which he delivered
in Chicago on Washington's birthday ex-
President Harrison held up as one of the
great evils and dangers of our time the
hiding of property from taxation. He
said that personal property, especially,
failed to bear its proper share of taxation.
This Is due to the fact that personal
property is so easily concealed.
Ex-President Harrison's speech on the
inequalities of taxation has attracted at
tention throughout the country and may
lead to practical reforms in some states.
The disproportlon between the amount
OF personal property and realty returned
for taxation indicates clearly that the
bulk of the personal property in this
country pays no tax at all. In New York
the amount of personality taxes is only
one -eighth the amount of realty taxed,
whereas 1t is certain that the value of the
personally is greater than that of the
realty In several states there are now
on foot movements for the creation of tax
commissions. tits believed that 10 these
were constituted and clothed with proper
powers they would be able to reach
large part Of the property which now es.
capes taxation and thereby works an In.
justice to every honest taxpayer.-Atlan.

THINKS DEMOCRATS WILL WIN.

We are permitted to copy the following
from private letter from Hon. S. M.
Sparkman. 1t shows he. has faith In the
future Of the party.
81 think the Democrats stand an excel
lent chance Of winning In the next cleo
ton, as they certainly ought to. Itseems
our Republican friends are not able to
run the Government,-the Dingley bill
for instance, is not producing sufficient
revenue, and 1t is feared it will not In
addition TO this they show no disposition
to relieve the people from the burdonsome
monetary laws, under which we have
been living for so many years.
IF the Democrats can win it will be on
the Democratic platform which pledges
relief, and l think the people will stand
by them.' ,...

THE PRESIDENTS PREACHER.

II President Mckinley heeds his preach
er he will not rest until we fight Spain
The reverend gentleman who Gil the pull
pit of the church In which our honored
president does his worshipping, Hugh
Johnston by name, wants to fight, wants
to fight bad.
Last Sunday he preached regular
whooper of sermon with the president
sitting right In front Of him looking as
mild as May and in no sense like the com
manderin -chief Of the army and navy OF
all these United States. Bro. Johnston's
text was, I'm the name Of our God we set
up our banners"
He not only expatiated upon the duty
OF a ChristiaA nation to go TO war under
certain circumstances. but proceeded In
a most elaborate manner to show how We
could lick the stuffing ont Of Spain. He
reminded his congregation that the pres
ident was present, which was as much as
to say that he meant to put that official
on notice that nothing but war would do
in this emergency. Some Of the faithful
who consider Johnston prophet and
heard his imprisoned cry for war prob
ably expected that the president would
send a red hot message to congress urg-
ing 1t to. order fight at once. Somehow
or other the president did not follow his
preachers sanguinary lead; what he
thought Of his sermon we do not know.
The remarkable thing is that only two
weeks ago Brother Johnston preached a
peace sermon. What worked the radical
change in his temper is not revealed. but
we have dim suspicion that he has been
reading Mr.. Hcarst's yellow Journal. II
So he should be impeached promptly

A GOOD DECISION.

The postoffice department has not pro.
tected the public against frauds as II
should.
We are glad to see 1t improving in this
respect. 1t has extended its prohibition
order so as to exclude from the mails all
that class Of papers which has been ad
vertising large rewards for the solving OF
apparently simple puzzles. In this way
1t has saved numbers of people from be-
ing victimized by one Of the shrewdest
schemes yet devised for trapping the un-
wary. A single example will show the
deceptive character Of the scheme. One
of the puzzles was to supply the letters
missing from the words "A ------
L-nc-ln." The unsophsticated reader
would naturally jump to the conclusion
that the words In full were abraham
Lincoln " They were, in fact, "a knoton
Lincoln" referring to his necktie. The
puzzle was shrewd one, but too decep-
tive to be permitted to go before the peo-
pie without warning of its true nature.
.. There are other catches and frauds
which are. sent through the mails which
should be promptly and premptorily ex-
