Treasury figures are assuming a brighter aud more satisfactory condition. Receipts this month for thus far have averaged over a million dollars a day and prospefcts are that next month will be eveu better. As the total expenditures of the Government average but a million dollars a day, it will be seen the new law has already practically reached the point promised by its framers—an income equal to the expenditures. * »u.« | l Ml in — ■ It is now estimated that the February receipts under the Dingley law will reach $29,000,000, which will bo in marked contrast with Jhe February receipts during the r operations of.the Wilson law. The following table shows the February receipts in each year since the beginning of the operation of the McKinley law, and covering all of tho years in which the Wilson law was upon the statute books. How do Senator Teller and his free-silver associates who have been demanding that tho bonds of the United Stato shall be declared payable in silver justify their course i;i the light of the fact that the Mexican government, whose financial methods they profess to so much admire, is just arranging for a new issue of bonds payable in gold and gold only? But a trifling inconsistency of this kind cuts no figure with men who are merely advocating a cause for what they can get out of it in the matter of official preferment or otherwise.

It is becoming pretty evident that the great fuss made about the supposed exorbitant price paid by the government for armor for the battleship was unnecessary and unjust. The principal cause for it was an order taken by the Carnegie Steel Company for a rather limited quantity of armor at a considerably less price than our government was paying. The Steel Company made the statement at the time that the armor was sold to the Russians, very low, at eost or less, to got them to give it a trial, with the expectation that large orders for better prices would follow. And the result is that the Company has just received an order from the Russians for armor for two battleships, at SSOO per ton; a much higher price than the same company offers to furnish the armor to our own government, for. That one little spot on the map of the United States where there is a depression in one industry—by this is meant New England and the cotton industry—is the center of much attention on the part of the silver shriekers, and Chief-shrieker Bryan proposes to emphasizo this condition by a visit to the cotton-manufacturing industries of that section. It is not learned, however, that MrBryan has any expectation of visiting the cotton-mills of the South, which are being run overtime and are declaring large dividends with great regularity, and which operate under the same tariff and currency laws as those which the cnlsmityties assume to have failed in relation to New Englnnd mills. Nor is it learned that he has any intention of stopping en route at the iron and steel, tin-plate, or woolen factories or the great potteries of Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Now Jersey, which are all running overtime, where idleness or short hours were the rule under the

operations of the tariff law which Mr. Bryan helped to place on the statute books. i .

Any one willing to make a home for a large boy, from 11 to 15 years of age, iS requested to write tbe Board of State Charities, Indianapolis. ts Dr. Frank Bristol is considered one of the most powerful orators on the rostrum. Rennsselaer is indeed lucky to obtain such a man in their Course. Don’t fail to hear him in his last tour of the west. Work on tho big tank at the waterworks tower goes right along, but it s ia pretty big job and it will be some time yet before it is completed. At its present stage of ■construction, the partly built tank and the iron tower beneath it, have been compared in appearance to a soap kettle on stilts,; but when completed its appearance will be different and no doubt much better. Still it is evident that our people might as well accustom themselves to the'idea that the tower and tank will be useful rather than ornamental, in a very eminent degree. “The Little Giant of Methodism, Frank Bristol will deliver his famous lecture on “Shakespeare the Bard of Avon,” at Ellis’ Opera House Feb. 28th. The town of Winamac recently put in a system of waterworks, and the Republican has the following to say of the reductions made in insurance rates: “The new insurance ratings for the town of Winamac for the coming year has been received by the agents hero and proved to be quite a surprise A reduction was expected but no one hoped for quite such a radical change after what had been reported from other towns. The reductions run all the way from 25 to 50 percent.” - And that reminds us that the insurance companies can not be too prompt in making their promised reductions here. Probably the last chace our people will have to hear the famous Bristol Will be next Monday, as he leaves for Washington where he takes charge of McKinley’s church in March. Air. John N. Brown, of near Parr, and his housekeeper, Mrs. Sanjh E. Burnsid, were married Saturday afternoon, by Squire James A. Burnham. The ceremony took place in Mrs. M. E. Lecklider’s store. It is a second marriage for both the parties.
