It tsj not cm tuidcd that the Treasury will not be ako by raking and sertping tirether all its, available money, by using trust fnds that have bi-n-srt apart for some wther IiurjMM'S and by postjxsning the matur ing obligations of the Government, to meet for the present the current ex penses imposed npoa it by the Billion Dollar Congrvss. Tm fart remains, ncverthelcK, that the eximditures fl1 the fiscal years lSV'l and 1S".'2 provided for by the Republi can Congress are greatly in esci'ss of the revenues -of tlxise years. This is pnc tieally admitted by Ixith I-eech and Sec retary Foster, who content henise!vcs with trying to show that the (Jovern ment cniliuvs who want their money imhhI not p unpaid. N.iturallv the Treasury officials are eager to make the In-st showing jxssible, and therefore Mr. Ix-h counts $2-kv, 0tK,tHH) as available. Asa matter of fact the funds in the Treasury, includ ing the $1(0.000,(HK redemption fund, disbursing olfieers' balances, the $20, 00O.0OO. fractional coin and the gold and silver bullion, were reduced between April 1st, 1S8., and April 1st, lS'Jl, from $32o,7rf7,274 to 214,o83, 403. tut of this l:st-named sum must come the redemption fund of 100,000,000; the disbursing officers' balances, amounting to $50,558, 173, and the bullion, $o,o5s,S70. The available assets of the Treasury are therefore aliout 52.(KX,000. If the Secretary pays out the redemption fund and trans forms his bullion into money he will have aliout $107,000,000, in addi tion to the $."2,0t0,000, but the ouly method by which he can even then pro cure a sufficient sum to prevent an ac tual deficiency in 182will be by paying out the gold and silver against which certificates have leen issued; in other words, by destroying the value of certif icates and dishonestly using the coin twice over. The Government, on the Foster-Ieeeh principle, is in the condi tion of a spendthrift who throws away his last penny, leaving his creditors unprotected and remediless. If reciprocity with one country is good, reciprocity with another country is also good; and there can be no sound reason for enlarging our trade with the coun tries south of us that does not apply with greater force to the country north of us. Our northern neighlors numU r only 5, (HKi.ooo, and those of the south number 50,(H0,000, yet we export to the 5,000, 000 almost as much as we do to the 50, 000,000, and if all restrictions on trade lictween Canada and the United Suites were removed we should almost double our trade in one year. Canadians stand on the same plane of civilation as we do; they speak the same language, have the same history and iwisscss almost the same jHilitical institutions. In the pro ductiveness of their lalir they are al most our eUals, ami they are very far ahead of our Southern neighUirs. They can easily produce 100,(oO,(O0 worth of surplus products which we want, and for which they would take w ith profit an fjiial value of our surplus products. Why, then, should we not have reciproc ity with Canada? All trade is carried on for profit, and there is ten times the profit in a trade of $100,000,000 as in one of $10,000,KiO. Canada takes from us more than fl.Vtmo.ooo worth of breadstuff and provisions annually, w hile the southern counteries take less than $10,000,000. Why not open ne gotiations northward fur 'another Imrrel of wheat and another barrel of pork?' " Roger Q. Mills in the l 'onnn. "Tiik Democrats of the country says the Philadelphia Herald are under obli gations to those eminent protectionists who met in New York to indulge in chicken salad and chin music. 'The campaign of 1S02," the gentleman as sure us, 4 -is to be fought on the same lines ns that of 1888." Nothing could la? more gratifying to the Democrats. In 1888 the ixple by a"iopular majority of more than one hundred thousand, declare! in favor of the attitude of the Democrats, and since that the campaign of education has been going forward w ith such force as to make the success of the party at the next trial not only certain but over whelming. The shrewder Republicans like Ouav and Clarkson would prefer to shift the issue to a silver basis or some other question. But these pampered barons are willing to invite castigation, in order to keep themselves in the front. Let them go on in the course marked out. It's just what the Democrats want. A Sax FitANcisto dispatch to the New York Tiibmmd last Sunday says: '-Oil-ifornia needs settlers who can pay for their land, and can afford to wait two or three years till the orchards come into tearing. This s the class which has converted certain sections of Southern California into a garden that gives an income of 5,0O0 from twenty acres in fruit." But when a tariff reformer cites this fact of $5,(HH1 income from 20 acres of fruit la ml as evidence that it was un necessary to increase the duties on fruit last year he is told by the protectionists that these are "exceptional and loom figures." Ckvijox tea is in the ascendant. At an auction at Iudon on Tuesday a Small Uix of five jmmls weight was put up, and so spirited was the bidding thai the price was run up to $S5 r jeamd, at which figure it was knocked down. This is the highe-i price Ceylon tea has brought yet. Kutiu icax editors are not saying anything aout the deficit in the Treas ury now staring the country in the face.

Mr. BWne will, I in informed, sbx-rlly r wove himself fnm the dangiT ?f U ing struck by I'n-sidontial lightning by writ ing a letter declining to alio- his name to le nisidcrvl in connection with the nomination n-xt year, and annonncing his fealty to Mr. Harrison and his de sire to s"e him nominated, but there is another danger that he either lacks the courage or inclination to remove him self from, ami which may prove as dis astrous to him as the anchors he once cast to windward by the advice of "burn this letter" Fisher." This danger arises from his desire to protect tin.' financial interests of his friend St'tJien B. Elkins, who is a lead ing meujlier of the syndicate that now has the government sealing privilege in Beh ring sea. But for this desire all the trouble mizht have leen avoided for the coming season in Alaska waters, as it is known that the British minister was ready to pledge his government t stop all British vessels from capturing seals for one year if Mr. Blaine would make the same plledge for American vessels. Last year, In-fore Elkins U-cainc inter ested m the sealing industry, that was what Mr. Blaine was asking for, but now he doesn't wish to stop the sealiug, be Ciiuw his friend hopes this season to take an enormous number a courage ous Treasury agent blocked the game last season by stopping the catch, but a more accommodating agent in the jer Son of J. Stanley Brow n, once the pri vate secretary of President Garfield, and now the husliand of Mollie Garfield, has leen selected for duty with the sealers this se:iion, and Mr. Elkins and his partners anticipate no trouble in taking all the seals they can catch, if Mr. Blaine can only maintain the status i quo until the Fall. Secretary Foster a pi ears to 1 getting what the boy call ."rattled" oyer the condition of the Treasury. To quiet the alarm created by the announcement that he intended to extend the outstanding 4J ier cent 1m mils at 2 per cent instead of redeeming them when they mature September the first, next, he had his Di rector of the Mint furnish a statement to the press which made it apjiear that the enormous sum of $258,lK0,000 was available to pay any debts or appropri ations. This was so absurd that Mr. Foster had himself interviewed "in order that he might say that he did not al together endorse that statement then proceeds to figure out an available cash surplus Of 70,000,000 and to naively inform the country that he also con siders the 100,000,000 in gold, which has always leen regarded as a reserve held against the !sl50,(00,000, green backs in circulation, to le available cash and that he will not hesitate to use it if it comes to a pinch. Notwithstand ing these statements the daily balance sheet of the Treasury for yesterday shows a surplus of h-ss than $12.1HH, 000. The evident Harrison stamjde which has set in among the big Republicans is exciting the curiosity of political ol "serv ers. Even Quay, Clarkson and Dudley have announced their allegiance to "Little Benny," and their determina tion to set' him nominated. The only reiuon that 1 can s"e for it is that no other man wants the dubious honor of leading the Republican forlorn hoie next year. Representative McMillin, of Tennes see, who is a candidate for Speaker of the House, and several of his friends have lat-n traveling the Eastern States and the presumption is that he has been doing a little quiet misMoiniry work for himself. He declines to talk about his prot ects fur ther than to say that he Ls in the tight until the Sj.M'aker is elected. "Called Back" is now applicable to ex-Senator Blair who the Chinese Em-jM-ror declines to receive as L:. S. Minis ter. Some other diplomatic osition is to le found for Mr. Blair who has tieen ordered to rctort to the Dctiartnient of state. The joint committee of Senate and House that has teen trying to locate the waste of money in the printing and dis tribution of public documents has ad journed until June. Its members have found out enough to make it certain that from 15 to 25 per cent of the mon ey now paid out may easily le saved. The same thing could be done in every branch of the Government if the at tempt was made by men unhampered and in earnest. The report of the investigation made into the antecedents of the Italians lynched at New Orleans by the U. S. District Attorney of that place has been received by the Attorney General and turned over to Mr. Blaine who will de cide whether it shall te made public. Blair In Washington. Washington, May 1. Sx-Senator Blair arrived here late this afternoon. Mr. Blair shows nothing but a supreme amount of indifference on the surface, but he neverthless feels to the quick the slight which the almond-eyed Celestial whom he once denominated a Tagan has put uio him. It i6 especially provok ing, coming as it did, after he ha J said good-bye to his family and made all the important preparations for such an ex tensive trip. There is a probability that Mr. Blair will le sent to Japan to take the place made vacant by the death of the late Mr. Swift. This would give the author of all educational and God in the Constitution schemes that have come before Congress in the last twelve years a chance to dwell in the Orient in spite of the decision of China. The post of Minister to Jajuin has many attractions for a man of Mr. Blair's peculiar" temperament, and it is quite as important diplomatically as tlie Chinese Mission. k Miap Shot Picture.

Highest of all in Leavening Power. 13 ABSOLUTELY PURE The KaatI bill. Since tin final rwr-sage by the House of the iMiiascuIatetl bill of the Road Com mission against his protest Mr. Wherry of Cumlerlaml has brought up some in teresting intern igatories. Contrary to general belief the bill des not carry with it the appropriation of a single dol lar. If made at all the appropriation would have to le made bv sjecial 111. and might le $5,000 or 5,iO,tttO t th pleasure of the Legislature. But Mr. Wherry has raised the ques tion whether it is withiu the wcr of the Legislature under the Constitution to appropriate State money for the inn struction of township roads. Roals do not come within the sanctions of educa tion, charity or lenevolcnce, nor do they in any sense twlong to the State or come under its control by any existing law or by this bill if it iMvomcs a law. On the other hand townships ar com munities" and appropriations to tlieni could not la regarded as laherwise than local. The same rule of interpretation that would justify the macadamizing of the main thoroughfare in a township would seem to justitiy the asphalting of the main etn-et of a iMtrough. Where would such a system of State aid end? The same gentleman has also started an interesting inquiry as to the t-If'-ct of tin' general n-jealing clause at the end of the so-called road law. There are ujvoii our statute ixx'ks alxiiit six hun dred sjecial road acts. It was the in tention of the framers of this new law to wije these out at one 6woop with a gen eral repealing clam". But it may well le doubted if this can te done by general law. While some of the earlier opinions of our Supreme Court did not clear away this, later de cisions are explicit in the declaration that a general act is not to le construed as repealing a particular one. In other states the opinions are uniformly in line with our hitter ohcs. Judge Endlich in his comprehensive comment utKm this subject quotes Judge Gilison as saying: "It is against reason to suppose that the Legislature in framing a general system for the state intended to repeal a sjecial act which the local circumstances of one county made necessary," and adds as his own comment: "The fact that the general act contains a clause reiMiiIing acts inconsistent with it does not dimin ish the force of this rule of construe sion." Should the road bill in its present shape la-come a law some interesting and extensive litigation would li'tely follow. In any event it stems plain that the operation of the projMsed law would largely increase heal taxation without a reasonable hope of aid from the State. Hurrixbiirff Patriot. The Delamater Failure. Mkadviij-k, Pa., Mav .3. The citv is filled with indignant men and voting women and excitement runs high against the memlK-rs of the late linn of Delamater it Co., kinkers. The mem bers of the committee representing the unsecured creditors have worked hard the iast three months, but their lalw.r apjicars to have Ixen in vain, and it is plainly evident the firm has never had any intention of paying creditors any thing. Mr. Delamater makes a frank acknowlegenient that he is unable to do anything. Mr. Charles Falir, a immi nent merchant ami a memler of the committee, said: "We can go no further. All hope is lost. Certificates of deposit on the bank are worth nothing ex-ept as relics and I wouldn't give a nickel for all I could carry. Wallace Delamater has deceived and made fools of the committee."

A dispatch from Charinffc, K. Q, on Saturday, said thoCarOUnfkCntnl train men have Leva having peculiar experi ences with eaterpillers for four or rive days past. Just east of Eumlerton is what is kmra-n as the "Big Swamp" and the railroad go-s through it on trestle work, broken here and there in the solid portions of the swamp by embankments of earth. Last Tuesday an army of cat erpillers began moving out of the swamp and when they reached the streams over which the trestles carried the rails the massed on the railroad and proceeded to cross the trestles. Tlie rails and ties were covered inches deep with the moving mass, and the first train that encounter ed them w as brought to a dead standstill, the driving wheels of the engine slipped around as if the rails had been thorough ly oiled. Tlie engineer exhausted the contents of the sand tax before h got through the swamp and reached a clear Stretch of track. Tlie very next day a train encoun tered another army of caterpillars cross ing the trestle and had tlie same ditti culty. When the Charlotte-bound pass enger train Friday passed the rails and cross-ties of the trestle were actually ob scured from sight. Tlie masses of cater pillars, and the ground and swamps on each side of the track were littered with the mashed fragments of millions of the catterpillars from the wheels of preced ing trains, and from this mass an un endurable stencli arose. Where the caterpillars came from is not known. The Influx Continues. Scottoale, May 4. Between 6.000 and 7,000 men are to be brought to this region to replace the strikers, if neces sary.
