THE U. S. TREASURY.

A Remarkable Year in tlie ITInaneial Tilstory of the Republic.

In his report for-the year ended June SO last, made public Monday, Treasurer Huston says: The year was a remarkable one in the history of the public finances, both the revenue and the expenditures having been exceeded but few times since the foundation of the government. The former '.amounted to $387,050,053 and the latter to 1299,288,978, inclusive of $17,292,862 paid in premiums on bonds purchased. The surplus x'evenues June 30 were $87,761,000, a decrease of §23,550.193, as compared with the year before, counting premiums on bonds as an ordinary expenditure. On June 30, 183S, thex*e was in the Treasurer's custody in cash and effective bonds the sum of 8764,729,335, and a year later the sum of §760,6-13,871. The current liabilities decreased in the interval fi*om $143,291,347 to 8127,031,880 and the reserve from $229,SOS,600 aud §193,097,047.

The gold in the treasury in excess of the certificates outstanding was $193,619, IS2 in 18SS and $186,257,490 in 1889. Notwithstanding the loss of gold, both in the aggregate and in the amount not covered by certificates, amounting to nearly 4 per cent., the position of the treasury was strengthened in every x'espect save in the amount of reserve. The total assets, the liabilities and the reserve all fell off about 14 per cent. At the beginning of the year the free gold was $45,000,000, and at the close $5S,000,000 in excess of demand liabilities. The unavailable funds, exclusive of upward of $28,000,000 on deposit with the States under the law of 1836, amounted at the end of the year to $1,415, 4D3, having been deex'eased by an appropriation of §24,016 to cover losses in the New York sub-treasury, and increased by a loss of $10,000 at San Francisco, reported by the Assistant Ti'easurer there in 18S6. The Treasurer suggests that the present methods of keeping the account by which he is charged with funds that do not exist should be changed so that the hooks at all times would show the time state of the treasury without real or apparent discrepancies. The changes that took place in the currency were an increase of about £34,000,000 in the stock of silver, a contraction of -Ml,000,000 in the national bank circulation and a loss of .$25,750,000 of gold.

The report shows that in the period of four years the public ownership of silver was nearly doubled, while the volume of notes was diminished from §647,386,147 to £5:50,989,473. The increase of the circulation of silver certificates was about £50, 1)00,000, having kept pace with the rate fcr the two previous years. The new issues of small denominations appear to have fully supplied the needs of the country.

The coinage of the standard silver dollars has proceeded without any incident worthy of remark. Without much change in the amount in circulation there is a tendency toward a decrease. During the year the national banks withdrew $66,340,900 of their bonds held by the treasury as security for circulating notes of public moneys. The deposits amounted to §25,248,700. There remained, at the close of the year, $148,121,450, belonging to 3,262 banks, as security for circulation, and $45,222,000, belonging to 270 banks, as securities for deposits. The report shows the minimum limit of bonds for the present capital of the banks were only about $50,000,000 or $60,000,000 below the amount on deposit. The amount of public money held by depository banks ran down from .$58,712,511 to $47,259,714, the results mainly of voluntary acts of the banks in surrendering the deposits and withdrawing their bonds. Tho semi-annual tax on circulation amounted to ?1,410,331 for the year. The net deposits during the year amounted to $82,484,415 of which sums $29,583,580 was for the reduction of tho circulation of act ive banks.

THE MONTANA CONTEST.

The Silver Bow (Montana) mandamus case was finished Friday, Judge DeWolfe denying the right of the minority of the board of canvassers to appeal from the order'of the court directing the canvassers to count the vote of the Tunnel precinct. The court issued a mandatory order, and Hall and Irwin counted the vote of the disputed precinct for McHatton (Dem.) This decision also covers tho Legislative contest, and by it the Democrats secure ten of the eleven members of the Silver Bow delegation. The contest is now as to the certificates of members of the Legislature. After the State canvassing board adjourned the Secretary of State issued certificates of eleetioi, to the members of the Legislature, including the six Republicans of the Silver Bow delegation. The clerks of^thc different counties had already issued certificates, and the Democrats-elect refused the Secretary's certificates.

ELECTION NOTES.

All tho Stato officers recently elected in Iowa are Republican, except the Governor. I New York's Democratic majority may reach 20,000 to 25,000. The Democrats I gain ten members of tho Legislature.

It is reported that some Republican members of the Iowa Legislature will join with the Democrats in the adoption of high license.

Lampson, Rep. candidate for Lieutenant Governor of Ohio, is elected by 273. The Republicans thereby elect the entix-e State ticket except Governor.

Gov. Campbell, of Ohio," in a speech at Richmond, Ind„ Friday, where ho was awaiting the connection of trains, facetiously said he would accept the Democratic nomination for President in 1S92.

An interview with Gov. Foraker is printed, in which he lays tho the wholo blame for his defeat on the liquor interests. He will not say a word against Re publican politicians who fought him. He thinks the third term matter didn't hurt him. He will retire from politics.

Gen. Knapp of the New York Ilepulican state committee announced Friday morning that "the most astounding frauds upon tho franchise had boon discovered in Troy and other places" on,the part of the Democratic pai ty in the resent election. He would not state what he expected to do about it or whether the results in the elec­

tion

would be effected bv the disclosures. Campbell's majority, anoJttoial, is 11,451.

All the other State officers elected are Republican. The Legislature is Democratic, and a hustle is already begun for the Senatorship. The candidates so far known are John H. Thomas, the millionaire manufacturer of Springfield, Calvin S. Brice, John R. McLean,L. T. Neal, George L. Convei-se, and others. Thomas, it is believed, has the inside ti*ack.

Ex-President Cleveland was interviewed Thursday night on the election returns. "It is evident," said Mr. Cleveland, "that the leaven of tariff reform has at last leavened the whole lump. The West-,

which

has suffered the most from

the unjust burden of tariff taxation, has awakened. The State platforms of both Iowa and Ohio were abreast of the 6t. Louis platform on the subject tarirT reform. The people have considered and passed judgment. It was for the people to decide. They ai-e now deciding. It is enough to say that I am satisfied at the indications aud results of Tuesday's elections. The verdict in Virginia indicates that the South is still faithful to tho Democracy of Jefferson and Jackson.1'

THEY HAD A LIVELY TiWiS.

The W. C. T. U. had a lively time Tuesday, when the followingamendment came up for consideration: "To interest and unite the Christian women of this nation in non-sectarian and non-partisan tcmprance work for the reformation of the in temperance and the education of public sentiment in behalf of total abstinence and the prohibition of the traffic in alcoholic liquor, the development of social purity, the suppression of vice and crime and the education of the masses in the duties and responsibilities of good citizenship." It was evident fi'om the commencement of the debate that the feeling of the convention was overwhelmingly against the proposed amendment. The delegates were not disposed to listen to the speeches of the women who favored its adoption, and several times thei'e was hissing and cries of "Sit down."

Mrs. Henry, of Evanston, 111. Mrs. Wells, of Tennessee Mrs. H. M. Barket, of South Dakota, and Mrs. Perkins, of Ohio Mi*s. Bueil, national secretary, and others, spoke in opposition to tho adoption of the amendment as a inflection on tho previous action of the union, aud declaring that tho unioix was non-partisan, being ready to support any party which woulJ put a prohibition plank in its platform.

Mrs. J. Ellen Foster then spoke. She said the convention was partisan despite its declaration to the contrary. The name of honorable men in the Republican party has been dragged in the mud on the convention platform. "I repeat," she said, "that the convention is partisan partisan in its assaults on Republican statesmen."

Hisses interrupted the speaker. "Yes, and those hisses are partisan They come from the delegates themselves, and not from tho spectators."

The resolution was voted down by a very large majority. The majority of the eommitteo on resolutions reported in favor of standingby the Prohibition party. Mr. Bailey of the Iowa delegation offered a minority report setting forth that the work of the orgauiza tion should be purely educational and evangelical: therefore, no declaration in favor of any party should be made. The majority report was adopted, only the Iowa delegation voting for the. minority report.

Thereupon the Io va delegation foi'mally withdrew after presenting, through Mrs. Foster, a protest, or declaration of independence, which set forth the history of the partisan movement.

THE CATHOLIC CONGRESS.

The most important group of events inthe history of the Catholic Church in America began at Baltimore Sunday morn iug. It was the commencement of a fiple celebration—the one hundredth anniversary of the appointment of the first Amercan Catholic Bishop, the inauguration of the first Congress of Catholic Lay mo held in the United States and the dedication of the new National University for Catholics. Ten thousand strangers were in Baltimore to witness the spectacles— four times as many people, not countir.: local Catholics, as could prssibly be accommodated in the Cathedral, where the initial scenes were to be witnessed. Ex cept for the inevitable inconveniences due to overcrowding, everything moved likeclock work. The hall in which the priests assembled was elaborately decorated. Above the doors were the papal colors, yellow and wnite, and above these, stretching upward to the eaves, were great streamers of red, white and blue. When all was ready 600 clergy, v/alkin .' two and two, emerged, clad in white surplice and black cassocks and bcrrettas The celebration was conducted on this extensive scale, and was an important event in Catholic history.

The Catholic Congress at Baltimore, Tuesday, adopted a lengthy platform in which Sunday observance and temperance was insisted upon, a higher education demanded, and closer relations with non-Catholics recommended. Tho paragraph on secret societies gives more freedom to Catholics than has heretofore been enjoyed. If rightly interpreted it takes the inhibition oft' all societies save the Masons. Nihilism, oSocialism and Communism are condemned. Labor societies are encouraged and recommended. Another forward step is "in favor of Catholics taking greater part than they have hitherto taken in general philanthropic and reformatory movements. The obligation to help the needy and instruct the ignorant, is not limitod to the needy and ignorant of our communion, but we are concerned, both as Catholics and as Americans,in the reformation of all the criminals and the support of all the poor in the country." v- 'j(,

Vice President Morton, through his private secretary, has issued a cord denying the charge that liquor is being sold in one of his properties in Washington Tho card says: "The building is conducted as a family apartment house, apartments beng leased by the year, and Mr. Morton has never entertained the idea of porinil ting any part of it to bo used

Swope's first shot was leveh- at Goodloe's head, but his pistol was kncn ed aside and the bullet entered Goodloe'- bdomen. Goodloe's knife, however, id. quick wox'k, and after firing one more shot Swope sank to the floor and died instantly, having received thirteen wounds by his opponent's knife.
