This shows that there was a practical de- ficiency in the treasury, or rather, that the gold reserve was melting away, be- fore Mr. Harrison left office. Inaspeech in the house the other day Mr. Dockery, of Missouri, read the order of the secre- tary of the treasury, Mr. Foster, to the engraving department to have bonds pre. pared, and the plates were got in read. iness for printing. The first bonds is. sued under the Cleveland administration were printed on these plates. Mr. Har. rison was averse to a bond issue, and by holding back appropriations managed to avoid it, leaving the load for Cleveland to carry.

The astonish. ing thing is that such verdicts are not al. ways and in all parts of the state de- nounced by the judge and the newspa- pers until such results are made impossi- ble.

Self Sustaining The new department of agriculture of Pa., promises soon to be self-sustaining or nearly so. Itis making a remarka- bly good record in that direction. The dairy and food commission of this depart. ment, which only commenced practical work about two months since, in the month of December collected $1,720 as oleomargarine fines. Of this $860 went into the state treasury and the other half to counties in which the cases were tried By law the lowest fine in the cases of a person convicted of dealing in oleomar- garine is £100. $50 county and $50 to the State. of which goes to the This month the fines already promise to be something more than the above figure. The pure food law will soon be pushed in earnest, too, and there will be revenue from this source.
