Cleveland's second administration was
disastrous to tho prosperity OF the coun-
try; nevertheless, history will give much
credit to Cleveland because OF his OBJ
stinate defense of the gold standard
against the assaults OF his own party In
Congress, and because of his Venezuela
message.
Blu. while Cleveland was doing his
best to preserve the gold standard. Park
er was voting for free silver. And when
Cleveland wrote his Venezuela message
did he have the moral support OF the
candidate who In his recent speech OF
acceptance condemned as cxtravagant
and unjustitied the Republican policy OF
getting the nation in readiness for war?
Had Il not been for this very policy
as pursued by preceding Republican ad-

This comes well from the New York

There is also, 1t appears, a great de

cialy In the consular service, employ
American college girls as governesses
In their families while living abroad
and many calls come, often at a mo-
ment's notice, from foreigners who
wish to be instructed In the tongue
that is now SO necessary In all corners
of the earth. One morning in Venice
an American girl was called into the
hotel salon by card with a crest, and
met charming woman. who, mistak-
ing her name for that of another, had
come TO see If she would give CONVEX

band desired for their own pleasure"
To the American the mistake not only
proved profitable but afforded her a de-
lightful glimpse into the life Of the

TRANSACTIONS are constantly In de-
mand, for, though young foreigners are
trained for this work, their command
of the English idiom is at best less per-
feet than that Of an American.
Correspondents for American and
English journals find fertile fields, and
If letter writing is not the most lucra-

Monthly Statement Of Public Debts at

End Of Year.
Washington.-The monthly state
ment of the public debts that at the
close of business December 81. 1908,
the debt, less cash in the treasury,
amounted to $914,150,Ss0, which is
decrease for the month of $11,61s,530.
The debt is recapitulated as follows:
Interest bearing debt, 1901, 747,220;
debt on which interest has ceased
since maturity, $1,196,539; debt bear
ing no interest, 1896, OPS; total. ST.
293, 525,775.
This amount, however, does not In
clude $935,32S,S6 in certificates and
treasury notes outstanding, which are
offset for their redemption by an equal
amount of cash on hand held for their
redemption. The cash in the treasury
is classified as follows: Gold reserve
fund, $15O,0OO,0OO; trust funds, $685.
32s,S69; general fund, $14s,133,774; in
national bank repositories, $172, 1885,
1888; total, 81 ,4O5. 621, 1882, against which
there are demand liabilities outstand-
ing amounting to 81 ,026,247, 0S6, which
leaves a cash balance on hand of $397.-
347,S95.
The cash in the treasury was in
creased during the month by $10,137.-
465, which is largely due to decreases
in disbursing officers balances.
