Treasury threatens to divert pttblic at
tention from the real Mint of the prrs
ent tinaneial situation. 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?' "

"Tiik Democrats of the country says

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

California into a garden that gives an

this fact of $5,(HH1 income from 20 acres

last year he is told by the protectionists
that these are "exceptional and loom

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 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

what Mr. Blaine was asking for, but now

Secretary Foster a pi ears to 1 getting

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

reiuon that 1 can s"e for it is that no

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

good-bye to his family and made all the
important preparations for such an ex

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.

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."
The feeling is so intense that an in
dignation meeting is talked of. It is
understood that the committee are pre
Kiring a statement and hoje to have it
ready by Monday.
At 7:30 o'clock Saturday evening
George Wallace IK-I.unater, George B.
Delamater and Victor M. IMamaU-r

Caterpillars Trains.
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.
