the reduction of import dutiesasthc proper
relief te the treasury; but it he cannot
keep from getting into it mero money than
it needs, he propeses,a3 the next best thing,
te provide for lifting it out. It seems clear
enough that some measure of phlebotomy
is needed if the treasury is te continue te
be filled beyend its needs.
Congress docs very strauge things and
one can never predict that Its action in
financial matters vrill be sensible. A body
that will continue te coin silver dollars te
lie unused in the treasury, cannot again de
anything that is surprisingly foolish in a
financial way. Its present refusal te de
plete the treasury by reducing the taxes is
quite as unwise as anything that it has
done,-It is due te the fact that the mem-
bars cannot agree upon the mode of the
reduction, which they de net deny should
be made. It is net probable that they will
turree te the suggestion of Congressman
Scott, which proves upon its face the felly
of filling the treasury se full. The people
will net be content that they shall be taxed
te provide money for the national banks te

stimulate the starting of new national
banks ; and certainly these enterprises de
net seem te be in need of furtlir stimula

There arc many ether3 en the roll of dead
qulte as well worthy of mention but net
se well known, and the list Is long enough
te be Impressive. The men who made their
fame in their prime during the stirring
times of civil war have reached their term
of life, Fer the next few years we
must be often called upon te chronicle
the ends of soldiers and war statesmen
until these relics of the war have passed
away and the proportion In the list of men
great in peace will then be larger. Invent
ors, scientists, merchants, divines, engi
neers, will rank higher In the public esti esti
millien as the glories of the times of trial
and civil war fads with time.
Mr. Gewcn's AsMirnuce.
Mr. Gewen has Issued n circular letter te
the principal bondholders ami stockhold
ers of Heading, urging them te enter Inte
the reconstruction arrangement. Mr.
Gewen displays In this communication the
strong traits of his character which have
become se familiar. He Is sanguine as ever
and as full of confidence that he is new and
always has been right ; confronted by the
undeniable fact that Heading toppled be
cause of the great ever-weight he put en
it. Mr. Gewen falls te let us$ee that lie
sees this, but PiCCCSus te put the responsl respensl
tjillty for the condition of Heading upon
these who succeed him in the manage
ment. The cempanxr certainly would net
have gene into the hands of the receivers
If Mr. Gewen had taken as geed care of it
as he seems te think lie did. Yet it Is the
receiver's policy, and net his own. which
enjoys his criticism. They lest the
company ten or twelve mllllens.Mr. Gewen
thluks. During the last three years of his
management, he assures us, the company
earned a sum that would suffice te pay in
terest uien the stock under the reconstruc
tion plan. And yet It went te receivers.
Mr. Gewen does net seem te sec that the
greater the resources he shows his company
te have had when he handled it the greater
the blame attachable te him for letting it
go ashore. It is natural that Mr. Gewen
should be hopeful. All men who are thor
ough believers in themselves are of
sanguine temperament. Men generally
need te be te believe in themsehes. The
stockholders will receive Mr. Gewen 's as
surance that they will seen have dividends
with cheerfulness; but also with compo
sure, because they have had these assur
ances often , but net the dividends.
Vi'ts admire Mr. Gewen's energy pluck,
honesty, resources and eloquence , but we
knew full well that the talents that make
a railroad pay are of a less strong kind,
and that Mr. Gewen does net have a full
equipment of them.

published their resolution, that they would

ness as te enter into combination for the
restriction of the coal supply, is shown te
have been in the peel as deep as
anyone. I'resident Hcberts attended
the meetings and agreed te confine
himself te his share of the production
and the individual operators en his lines
agreed te stick te theirs. An explanation
from the Pennsylvania directors is In order.

yer's answer was that curiosity had led him
te leek at that column, particularly since the
marriage license law went Inte effect In
Pennsylvania. He anted te see whether
the elfect el the law would be a predicted
that Is Pennsylvania couples te avoid the
annoyance el answering the questions neevs

had noted the number of I.incaiter people
who bad been wedded In Camden, and he
said he had net counted the number, but be
lieved that at least three hundred I anc.ttr
couples had been made either hsppy or mis

Frem a conversation had with the clerk el

dying cut, and he believes that the next
year the number of couplet who will go te
Camden te avoid getting a lK-ense win be
much smaller than the number r, he cheated
him out of his fees this year.
The license business was fairly active dur
ing the year ending en Friday, and a greater
number of licenses were Issued by turn thsn
he expected. The clerk eMiglngly hsndtd
ever his record books for examination, and a
pleasant hourer tnewns spent in 1 xiklug
ever tie answers te the several naestiens
propounded. The practice during the first
few months that the law was lu eflectwa?
for the clerk te ask the applicant whether he
was ever 21 years and the Mme question as
te the lady he Intended te wtxl. That rule
was chauged about the beginning of the year
and new the sgesef the contracting pnrtles
are given.

The first applicant en January 1, l-v, was
a widower el 15, and he took for bit life's
partner a maiden lady of H The olden ap
plicant during the year was a resident of the
Eighth ward, who gave his age a r.- lie
wedded a lady some years his'lunler. The
youngest applicant was a miss of 1 who
wedded a young man of .0. The most re
mark able application en record during the
year was that et a Frenchman of .U who
had never been married. Ills choice was a
widow of 03. Just think of it : When he
reaches the age of 10 she will be TO, and
when be Is In the prime of life at 60, she
will have reached the age of lour score.
Nine-tenths of the applicants are between
the ages of Jland 30. The number between
45 and 60 Is smalL Licenses were Ibsued le
seven Quaker couples during the year. In
a number of cases the marriage certificates
have net been returned te the clerk, nod
the supposition Is that the marriage, for
which the tlcense was issued did net take
place. A marriage license Issued en July J6,
was only returned en U ednesday, and the
explanation of the clergyman was that he
had mislaid IL
I-LEVSE DATEITDAlE,
The clerk reports many lunuy incidents In
connection wltb the issuing of licenses. A
few weeks age a young miu applied for a
license. When the clerk was rilling In the
date, the applicant asked him te de a personal
favor. "If lean Iwlll,"aid theclerk. "Then
pleasedate that license back te July." The
clerk told him he would net de that, and the
young man used every eilert te In
duce the clerk te grant hit request.
The clerk finally suggested that he
have his marriage certificate written by
someone who did net knew him and have
whatever date put In hecboesc. This struck
the young man as a geed Ides. He took his
license and was married the same day. But
his marriage license don't show correctly
the date et the event. The w hole number et
licences Issued during the year was 1,035.
