I.OOTIKO THE TKEAS17HY. Treasurer Carlisle estimates that there will be a deficiency of 828,000,000 in the li. S. Treasury at the beginning of the year, that is, there will be that much of a shortage to meet obligations over what was to have been expected. If the former administration had not looted the treasury and had left it in as good condition as it was at the close of Cleveland's first administration there would not now be a shortage.—Hcvlcw.
Treasurer Carlisle revises his figures so often that so swift a newspaper as the
Bevlcw
cannot keep np with his
procession of revisions. The Secretary's latest estimate is that the deficiency will amount to $79,000,000. The former administration looted the treasury by placing sugar on the free list which saved to the people about 860,000,000 annually, but was lost to the treasury. About 8100,000,000 was withdrawn from Mr. Cleveland's favorite banlcs and used to reduce the national debt. Nearly 8300,000 000 of interest bearing bonds were paid off by the Harrison administratioi thus effecting a savii of over 855,000,000. There was no Treasury deficit at the close of the Harrison administration, and there would have been none now but for the prospect of early tariff revision which created a tremendous shrinkage in imports, and the "Cleveland panic" a heavy falling off in the internal revenue receipts through the paralysis of business and the poverty of the people. Now Secretary Carlisle proposes to increase the national debt by 850,000,000 with an early prospect of another 850,000,000 and still another simply to meet the present administration's tariff policy. No. the looting is being done now.
PENSION APPROPRIATIONS CUT. Notwithstanding the wholesale misrepresentations made by the Republican press relating to the pension record of the present administration with a view to creating a stampede among Democratic soldiers, the good work of increasing pensions still goes on, much to the chagrin of the party that seeks to to make it appear otherwise. The soldiers are fast finding out that the Democratic party is not made of the kind of stuff that the Republican press would have them believe. Such falsehood only recoils with double force on the party that promulgates such base misrepresentations.—Review.
The bill reported to the House last Saturday reduces the appropriation to pay pensions for the fiscal year, beginning July 1, next,815,000,000 below the appropriation for the present fiscal year, and the committee estimates that a cut of at least 810,000,000 more can be made at the session next winter for the year ending June 30, 1890. That will make, under the Hoke Smith plan, an aggregate squeezing of the pension rolls of S-5,000.000 in two years. At that rate it would take less than six Democratic Congresses to completely wipe away the pension roll. "The good work of increasing pensions" and at the same time reducing the appropriations is ion a plane with Brookshire's logic that placing wool on the free list will increase the price of the product to the farmer. By the way, what has become of Senator Voorliees' wrath that he had in soak for Hoke Smith?
TIIE Wilson bill already staggering under the load "of free wool, free iron ore, free coal and fee lumber, is to have the added burden of the income tax which is very offensive to many Northern and Eastern Democrats. If it gets through the House it will be for the reason that many Democrats who really are opposed to the measure will vote for it in the belief that it will be killed in the Senate. This class of Democrats have neither courage nor manliness. They are "cuckoos' in the fullest sense of the term. In their hearts they know that the enactment of the bill into law will be destructive of the best interests of the country, yet for the sake of Presidential patronage they will vote adverse to their convictions. Upon the action of the Senate depends the fate of the bill. The prevailing opinion is that the iniquitous measure will there meet its doom.
1 is given out that Senators Hill and Murphy, of New York, will resign if -Peckham is confirmed as Associate
Justice of the Supreme Court. The Senate should lose no time in making the confirmation. The country can get along very well without either. But should Cleveland threaten to resign if Peckham is not confirmed we should be at a loss..how to advise the grave and reverend Senators, but incline to the belief that confirmation would not be for the best interests of* the country. It is safe to say, however, that the chief danger lies in the fact that none of theim will throw up their jobs.
TIIE February Forum will contain a sharp Protectionist criticism of the Wilson bill by Mr. Albert Clarke, Secretary of the Hoffle Market Club of Boston. He eall» it "The Wilson Turiff tar
a Defleit Only."
ONLY A I RICK OF THE TRADE. An Employment Aprncy'i Clever Scheme for Drumming LTp Trad©.
Like every other vocation of men and women, the employment agent possesses a device that is peculiar to his particular oalling that, is worthy of enrolbrent among the numerous "tricks of trade," and, although it smacks of deceit, it no doubt servos its purpose well. The manner of operate ing is thus described by the Rochester Herald: A woman of "good address" Is engaged by the proprietor of the employment agency to answer advertisements for female help. Each morning when the day's business Is begun the proprietor closely scans the want columns of the papers, selecting therefrom such advertisements as he or she may be able to fill from the list of girls on the application book. A list is made out and given to the before-men-tioned woman of "good address," who immediately starts out to "securo the situations." Upon application to the lady of the house who has advertised for a "girl" J,liis woman of good address tells the mistress that she has read the advertisement in the morning paper and would like to get the place. Then follows the usual catechism applicable to such cases, and the lady finds to her great delight that she has at last discovered just the girl for whom she has been looking, oh, so long. There isn't anything she can't do, and the lady has really racked her bruin to think of things, too. She can make lovely bread, cook any dish imaginable, does not object to "helping out" on washday, has no "gentleman company," does not want the parlor three nights a week and will not go home Sundays, and, above all, she has 6uch "good address."
A bargain is struck on the spot the new girl will come to-morrow and the wages are reasonable. The lady hurries down town and orders her advertisement out of the paper, turns away a dozen or more likely looking girls who apply for the place during the day, and finally at night she goes to bed and falls asleep without a care upon her mind, something she has not done since the last girl gave her "warning." But, oh, what a difference In the mornlngl When nine o'clock comes, instead of the lovely woman of "good address" who was hired the day before, the hour brings two, maybe three, very indifferent specimens of the genus hired girl, who exclaim in chorus that they "have come to get that job." "Why, I don't want any help," exclaims the lady of the house. "I've engaged a girl," and she makes a motion to close the door in the face of the unweloome callers. "Oh, yes we know," returns the chorus, "but Miss can't come. She's sick, and she told us to come and get the place because you wanted a girl. So we've come."
The "girls" are dismissed with but little ceremony, yet not until the lady has learned that they came from No. street, where an employment agency is known to be, and after comparing notes with a few friends who have had a similar experience the lady resolves to beware in future of the "woman of-good address."
THE SECRET OF HIS HEALTH. It LIh In Gating Only Very Small Amount of Food.
A famous old man recently told the Writer the secret of his marvelous health, says the New York Sun. He is far along in the seventies, is an indefatigable -worker, free from deafness, eyeglasses, rheumatism and other indications of advancing age. His name is withheld at his own request but his method of life is of interest. Until he was forty years of age he suffered from a number of petty ills. Indigestion was one of them and an overburdening amount of fat another. Almost incessant headaches at night rendered his work uphill and difficult. It was not until he had passed his fortieth year that, he came to the conclusion that nearly all his ills came from excessive eating. He put himself at once upon a regimen which he has maintained for upwards of thirty-fivo years. Like Caprivi, Napoleon and many other great men, he rises at six in the morning in winter and five in the summer, and takes a light exerciso before dressing. Then he lights an alcohol lamp, boils some water and makes a cup of coffee of two parts Java and one part Mocha. The coffee is selected with great care. After it has boiled for fifteen minutes he pours a little cold water on it to settle the grounds, puts In some milk, drinks two cups and eats three or four biscuits. Then he goes Into his study and undertakes the most serious problems of the day For six hourB he works steadily. His mind has not been disturbed by any incident, not even by the entrance of the servant with his breakfast. Atone o'clock he cats whatever his appetite craves. There is no restriction whatever at this meal. After this he walks religiously for an hour, and during that day not another mouthful of food passes his Hps. If at eight or nine o'clock at night a feeling of hunger comes on he takes a glass of milk, but nothing more. He has come to the conclusion that excessive eating kills more people than excessive drinking.

WAIT FOR THE AMERICAN.
ABOUT a year ago I took a violent, attack of la grippe. I coughed day and night for about six weeks my wife then suggested that I try Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. At first I could see no difference, but still kept taking it,' and soon found that it was what I needed. If I got no relief from one dose I took another, and it was only a few days until I was free from the oough. I think people in general ought to know the value of this remedy, and I take pleasure in acknowledging the benefit I have received from it.
