THE DEBT STATEN ENT. Harrison's Wust* SlUMm I* (kMM Kwp Vp Itasto The form of publtodebt statenttMt Issued under President Cie -eland was such as to show M a glance the actual finances of the Country. 1 He Republican Administration is be gteuilSg to find this extremely inedtfte limM.- Any form of statement which at Owe actual conditions shows that the debt is bn* tag increased by the great increase of e* peases tinder Mr. Harrison. His polioy. anti oil need in his party platform and in his own tea! gurau b to spend the revenues in on ef to keep the taxes. The constant tendency in departments managed on this polioy is to exceed appropriation > and create a deficit In tee second i tonth of the fiscal year the Admtnis ration has managed to increase the leht $6,00%000. The reeord of debt tonagement for July and August 1885, is $18,000,000 to tee disadvantage o tee Administration when compared site tee record of tee same months l et year. When these facts app ar from the debt statemeut made Sepl amber 1, the Globe-Democrat declare» that the form of the statemeoi should be changed. “Treasurer Huston,” it says, “is thinking seriou ily of returning to the old style ag tin,” on the ground that such a chan;« “will be a great relief to many peo >le interested in the financial conditior of the United States.” No doubt it will.

But this is not a com latent attitude tor Mr. Harrison. He has boldly asturned that it is adviaa deto spend at once ail surplus mone; in tho Treasury. He has not promi sed t> Increase the debt, but if It is * good thing to waste money already in hand, it is even a better thing to* reate a deficit, and to go deeper in del t If he is sincere. he ought to give the widest possible publicity to every deficit and every increase of debt he creates.

THE LOUISIAN/ VICTORY. FktUu* at th« Flnt K< ftabUen Attempt to Corrupt tho ! row South. It is very fortonah for the fianndrnouthed Republican < ampaign orators who have been stu aping the Third Congressional dlstri it of Louisiana that a negro named J loobs was grazed by a bullet in a pci sonai quarrel at the polls in Franklin For this is ail that is left them to talk about The district which they 1 rave tried so hard to proselyte, has goi e Democratic by a good majority, the usands ot negroes voting the Democrstio ticket The election was entirely peaceful, and the only marked feattr re of it was the large vote polled or an off election. It seems probable t! at a greater number of white rotors oast their lot with the Republicans thi a before, but this was because MiEbr. tee Republican candidate, made a iUttectively white man’s campaign, «ticited white votes in his speeches i nd carried out literally tho Harris* olan policy of neglecting the colored electors and doing all that was pos tlble .to divide the white vote.

The Republican ! nterest In the election was aroused by a desire to increase the narro* majority of three, by which they l old the Fifty-first Congress. The si coeas of Mr. Price, the Democratic candidate, reduces the Republican n sjority to two, the Laird vacancy bell * still unfilled. The Third distri st was formerly Republican, and win one of the last spots in the Soul h that the carpotbaggers surrendered.

CURRENT COMMENT. * . -Raising a corruption fund to bribe voters is now known as ‘•Wanamakering" an eloction, —Albany Argus. i -The Democratic policy is to enforce frugality in publio expense and abolish unnecessary taxation. —Cleveland Plain Dealer. -Corporal Tanner loses a friend every time he opens his mouth, and Tanner has no friends to spare.—Buffalo Express (Rep.). -The Republican party is exhibiting signs of unwonted activity in Marshall, Mo. During the last month numerous henneries have been raided and about five hundred chiokens stolen. —St Louis Republic. j -The tariff, we have been told, is the source and fountain of prosperity. What is stopping the flow? We have ft turned on in abundance, with an average tax of 47 per cent on every thing, and yet somehow the prosperity is not forthcoming.—Brooklyn CIV i*en. .j ——Mahone’s resolutions in Virginia pledge the Republican party’s “sympathy and succor to the disabled exConfederates or the widows and orphans of dead Confederate soldiers." Break it gently to Foraker! Tell it softly to the bloody-shirt shakers!— N. Y. World. -General William Mahone’s pr»' diction that he will be elected Governor of Virginia by a majority of 40,000 votes seems to excite more enthusiasm than confidence in the Republican party. Yet we have never doubted that Mahone’s word was as good as his oath. — Chicago flaws (Ind.). -The Republican parly is fast pushing its great men to the front. With Fort Pillow Chalmers as its candidate tor Governor of Mississippi, and Mahone leading the Republican hosts of West Virginia, the g. o. p.' has placed two of its choicest representatives in the front rank.—Ionia (Mich.) Standard. -The platform of the North Dakota Republicans can not be considered as an indorsement of the wldoopen policy ot Corporal Tanner respecting pensions. It favors the “granting equitable and liberal pensions to all honorably discharged soldiers and sailors." This, although too sweeping, is a very different thing from granting pensions irrespective ot honorable or dishonorable discharge.—Chicago America (Ind.). Mr. Noble's First Assistant, ; When the Secretary of the Interior has suooeeded in ridding himself of Tanner,'he ought to devote serious consideration to the operations of his own First Assistant, Mr. Cyrus Bussey. There seems to be something of the same temperament in Bussey that has brought Tanner into trouble Both men are possessed of the idea that they can override the rules of their own departments and even the statute laws whenever they feel disposed to do so. Mr. Oberly’s exposure ot the manner in whioh Mr. Bussey is interfering with and overriding the management of the Indian Bureau— commented upon by us recently— shows what kind of a man Secretary Noble's first assistant is. This is the first opportunity the publio has had to judge of Mr. Bussey’s qualification for public office, for, Uke nearly all the other men whom this Administration b*a lifted into official prominence, ha was an unknown man at the time of his appointment, and. to far : as public knowledge of him went, had shown no fitness for the work to which he was assigned*—K.
