Here is oa instanf oC Che latter: It Is a weU-kuown fact that the present unfortunate situation is doe mainly to a radical departure from the Republican policy under which such a situation waa unknown. The Democratic tariff law has reduced the revenue to a point which causes a monthly deficit, and Democratic schemes of currency reform have seriously impaired the public credit." This is not weU known. an.d it Is not the fact. We will not say that the trouble about the gold reserve and tn currency g9Qr-erally bean under the Harrison Ad-tninistratlou.

for such trouble really be-fins when the first false step Is taken, and that was years before. But it Is a fact that the trouble began to manl-feat Itself distinctly and unmistakably Under the Harrison Administration, and thAX it progressed so far that even tn the last mouth of that Administration Secretary Foster bad preptared to tsjua bonds. This was charged last Call, and when foster was asked to di-ny it. be wrute to Washington to inquire wbether there was any record evidence there that he bad don this.

the nation ha shown sensitiveness to the criticisms of the civilised world, and such shocking; barbarities are not likely to be repeated. History Is betas; rapidly made in tho war. We can only dimly realize how completely it will change the geography and political conditions of the Orient. Three great kingdoms are directly involved in the struggle, and as Japan seem determined to atop at no half-way achievements, there is hope that the Empire of China may be regenerated by the sword as fche could never be othrwiae. War mcns pro-dig-lous suffering, the innocent and helpless with the strong and the guilty; rt means lawlessness, rapine and murder.

but.it means a new intellectual and moral birth almost certain to be worth the cost. China has dosed in barbarism for thosanda of years; Core, ha been a hermit among the nation of the earth, and it may be that the fiery upheavals of war will make it possible to free these people from barbarism and superstition. It la related that Judge Dallas the otbr day at Philadelphia rejected the application of twenty-eight out of fifty-thr foreigners who desired to be naturalized. One of them could not tell wh was the first President or what Go trge Washington waa noted for. An-otler did not know why celebrate thu 4th of July, and when asked who Gtn.

Grant was said he bad never heard of him. The Republican paper ap-pliud Judge Dallas for hi action, but appear not to appreciate the point tlat he Is depleting; the Republican vte of the future. If the Republican vater were subjected to the same sort of aa examination, the party in this would disband. Some of them would answer tbe questions, but they would feel too lonesome to stand up and be counted. Dixlnff the eleven months ending; last November there was a total Immigration to this country of 234.20 foreigners, of whom 132,751 were male and 101.

455 were females. For the same perod last year there were 475,650, of whom 300,884 were males and 174,766 females. The decline is great, but there are not many thoughtful Americans wto will not agree that these are enough of the raw material out of which to make good citizens. If Anarchist Mowbray and others of hi stripe had been kept out. we should have still been better off.

The best way to make good American 1 to raise "em ourselves. The Ways and Means Committee of the House reports favorably Mr. Wilson's bill to remove the differential duty on sugar from countries paying export bounties. If the maker of the Wilson tariff had not been so solicitous to retain protective feature of the McKinley tariff they would never have copied from that tariff this provisicn. for a differential sugar duty which Mr.

Wilson is now trying; to repeal. It is safe to say that he will not succeed, for while the Republicans are every day denouncing the Democrat for this differential duty, they will filibuster to tho end of the session to prevent it repeal. Supt. Byrnes, having been converted to Dr. Parkhurst's view of the necessity of police reform, it will be interest, ins; to watch the change in the New Tork police force.

Mr. Byrnes thirty-two year of experience among; the thieves and blackmailers In which it abounds would help a pure man in the work of reform; how far it will be utilized by Mr. Byrnes himself is a question. The world has no great confidence in the maxim that it is a good thing to set a thief to catch a thief. If Judge Ricks ha any sensible friends in Congress they will see that no hindrance 1 put in the way of a full and speedy trial of tbe charge preferred against him.

The only real safely for the Judge lies In a complete investigation. It will be humiliating, but it is a situation which must be facoU both for his wn honor and for the tonor of the American Judiciary. The Courier-Journal ha not seen the evidence upon which the House Judiciary Committee votes to impeach Judge Ricks, but as the committee divided practically on party line it may be assumed that there is somewhere a partisan cat in tho meal tub. Tt does seem that at least the Judiciary Committee ought to be above this sort of thing-. Now that Mayor Strong has decided to retain Supt.

Byrne at the head of the Now York police force, it is in order for Dr. Parkburst to issue another proclamation. No other man living has a better opportunity to aay: "I told you to" than the distinguished President of the Society for the Suppression of Vi. That is an inspiring spectacle in North Carolina of a mongrel combination between Populist and Republicans by which each party gets a United States Senator. The Grand Old Party muet feel very proud of such triumph as that.

At this distance it looks very much as if. whatever else may enter into the explanation of Casimir-Perier's resignation, a considerable ingredient of cowardice should not be left out. There is much surprise expressed over the resignation of Casimir-Perier. But why should there be surprise at anything a Frenchman does? Casimir-Perier has the hardihood to call himself a Republican and yet resigns an office. We should like our river water straight.

If you ireaee, Mr. Long. therefore, and the virtual suspension of specie payment by the banks, began urvoVr the Harrison Administration, and a- irone on at an accelerating ratio. Account for It as you may, that is the simple fact. Impartial financiers attribute It to the Sherman and the McKinley acts.

It may be naked, what had the McKinley Bill to do wltn it? It certainly bad as much to do with it as the new tariff act, and Republican papers say that the latter is the cause of the present trouble because It does not yield revenue enough. Xow the McKinley Bill 1 subject to the rame objection. The Republicans deny this, because they say thera was no deficit till the McKinley Bill was repealed. Thy try to establish this by showlne; that there was no deflcK "at the end of a fiscal year," while the McKinley law was In force. But every Intelligent person knows that this is a quibble and a mere attempt to palter with us on a double sense.

It is easily demonstrable that the McKinley BUI did not yield revenue enough to meet the enlarged scalu of expenditure to which the Republicans committed the country. The Harrison Administration began dirfsipating the surplus even before the McKinley Bill was passed. The habit of estimating this surplus at J100.000.000 is misleading. Mr. Cleveland left fct aa accumulated surplus of about $100,000,000, and besides, the revenues were some lOO.OuO.OOO a year in excess of expenditures.

If tbe revenue had been -kept up and expenditures kept down during Mr. Harrison's term the surplus would have been nearer than $100,000,000. A reduction of revenue was. therefore, proper if expenditures had been kept down. But the FJfty-first Congress, while reducing the revenue, increased expenses, and this led inevitably to a deficit.

The Harrison Administration adopted several expedients to avoid the appearance of a deficit. First It squandered the surplus not only the surplus In March, 1SS9, but that which accumulated between that time and the passage of the McKinley BilL Then it changed the form of the debt statement. Then it seized a trust fund of $55,000,000, held for the redemption of the bank notes, and used that, and much of it was not refunded before the expiration of Mr. Harrison's term. Then finding- itself unable conveniently to pay' more than J25.0O0,0wO of bonds due September, 1S3I.

it continued them. In these various ways, by the shift and evasions of bookkeeping it contrived to conceal the deficiency of revenue which existed under the McKinley Bill. If the McKinley Bill furnished revenue equal to expenditures, why was tbe surplus dissipated? Why was the national bank redemption fund seized? Why were $25,000,000 of bonds continued within less than a year after the McKinley Bill was passed? In all but the name this was a borrowing of money, and this would not have been necessary If the McKinley Bill had been affording adequate revenue. As to the present tariff. It has not yet become fully operative.

Very little duty has yet been collected on sugar and none on incomes. It is generally believed that after this fiscal year it will afford abundant revenue for an administration, of the Government not more prodigal than It is at present. THE CU3I3 Bf 1X15 CX. French Cabinet crises are so common that they hardly afford entertainment enough to relieve the ennui of the Parisians. The one now la progress has received a special significance from the resignation of President Casimir-Pcrier.

This was hardly expected so soon, though It was known to be the Intention of the opposition to drive him from office if possible. As to the fall of the Cabinet, that of Itself created no surprise. For some time it ha been known that it held office by a precarious tenure, and Its defeat at an early day has not only been freely predicted, but foreshadowed by close vote heretofore. No one knew in advance what particular policy was likely to prove fatal to the Ministry, but its inherent weakness was well known, and it was only a question of time when the opposition would spring; a question, upon which the Ministry could not command a majority. It chanced that tbe question which proved fatal to the Dupuy Cabinet was one of first-rate importance, going to the very foundation of the Constitution.

While it is difficult for an American to express an opinion on a point of French constitutional law. yet the probabilities all tend to the conclusion that the Ministers were on the right aide. They simply declared in favor of the non-interference of the Legislative with the Judicial Department of the Government. This is a truism In American politics, and is a principle so widely accepted among statesmen and Jurists a to command assent prima facie everywhere. The burden of proof is on the opposite side to show that it 1 not applicable to the French Government.

Another reason for supposing that the Minister were right is that the attack, upon them came from M. Milleraad. a Socialist. Now the Socialists in France do not know much about tbe Constitution, and care less. What they do know Is that they are against it.

and if the action complained of had been unconstitutional there is a violent presumption that they would have supported it. To overthrow the Cabinet waa doubly desirable for them if it was attended with aa asaauft upon the Constitution. As to the propriety of the action of the Government in guaranteeing the interest on the bonds of raifronds, there is room, of course, for much difference of opinion. If it meant to guarantee for only a term of years, a guaranty that waa capable -of being- construed as perpetual was evidence either of gross incapacity or of corruption. But this' did not properly eater into the ministerial question at alL The guaranty.

was not made by the Dupuy Ministry: but was sriven some twelve years ago, when M. Ferry was Premier. The Cabinet was, therefore, not responsible either for the guaranty itself or for the form In which it waa It had simply takn the question into the courts and lost. Of course, a Government guaranty that could be canceled at will by so volatile a body a the Chamber of Deputies would be worthless. Nobody would buy a bond on such security.

The lesson of the danger of loaning the credit of tbe Government to corporation will probably be lost on the French, who have grown so accustomed to Government initiative and the paternal 'theory generally that they could not readily adapt themselves to any other. Tbe present criais accentuates the difficulty of executing- a Constitution like that of France. It is an attempt to combine the American system of a President elected for a definite term of year with the English system of ministerial responsibility to the popular branch of the Legislature. Both systems work reasonably well, but a combination of the two is attended with very great friction. In England the defeat of a Cabinet mean something.

Unless a successful appeal be made to tbe country, tbe political complexion of the Cabinet I reversed, and power passes from one party to the other. In France, Cabinet after Cabinet may fall, but the President continues in fflce, and often the change of policy amount to nothing. What is worse, the majority of the Chamber stands for no definite or stable policy. Instead of two compact parties, there are a multitude of "groups." and there i perpetual intrigue to form combinations imno; these to support or to overthrow Cabinets. Though the French President, like our own, theoretically holds office to the end of bis term whether the Chamber of Deputies agrees with him or not, publio opinion in France sometimes proves stronger than the theory of the Constitution.

As M. Patenotre said yesterday, every President of the third republic has resigned except Carnot, who was assassinated. This is largely due to the theory of ministerial responsibility. When things arrive at such a crisis that no Ministry named by the President will be tolerated by the Chamber, he has tbe choice of resigning or precipitating a revolution. A timid President would, perhaps, not wait till such a crisis actually arrived; he might foresee it, and get out of the way.

A prudent man who was not timid might take a. similar course If he foresaw that the revolution impending would be beyond his control. The resignation of the President Is variously interpreted. It Is evident that those who attacked the Ministry were bent on driving' tbe President out of office. Their idea 1 to make the Chamber of Deputies omnipotent, and to subordinate to it not only the Cabinet, aa at present, but the President and the courts as well.

President Caalmlr-Pe-rier was. doubtless, unwilling to nam any Ministry that would represent such a policy, which in effect aims at the overthrow of the Constitution. Whatever other reasons he may have had for resigning, this alone might have been sufficient to determine him to adopt that course He may have felt it necessary to arrst the attention of the people of France to the neest'y of choosing between the existing Constitution and the revolutionary programme outlined by the majority of the Chamber of Deputies. It is inevitable that he should be censured for resigning at this time, but his critics should point out what courre he ought to have taken. At present it is impossible to give an intelligent opinion on the point.

THE TAX Vi ASIA. We are on the other side of the world from China and Japan, so far away that we barely catch tbe sounds of the great conflict raging between the Dragon Monarchy and the Land of the Rising-Sun. It is the biggest thins; in the way of a war since the terrible Franco-German conflict; it has already lasted longer than that memorable struggle, and there are no lgn of a speedy end. yet how little are we disturbed. Our sensitive to every breath almost in our own country and in Europe, have been practically unaffected.

Tbe resignation of the President of France, causes more gossip than a great battle in the Orient; the election of his successor will interest all but students and men connected with Government affairs more than the cessation of hostilities. There is no telling how much longer tbe war will last. There are indications that the Chinese are now fighting more stubbornly, and even the fall of Peking may not force peace. The Japanese now are admitting that their late battle have been hard. The Mongolian empire is a half-dead aggregation of many virtually independent provinces, an injury to one of which is not felt to be the concern of the others.

Before Japan' conquest can be complete, she may be required to strike the fatal blow to each of the many government subordinate in little more than name to tbe imperial dynasty. Her soldier have shown itch courage and military genius, her people such patriotism, that her ultimate triumph ha been conceded by the world for months. Tbe only stain upon her arms so far ha been tbe massacre at Port Arthur, which not even the and special pleading of Japan's friends and authorities can clear up or excuse. Even Mr. Takaakl Kato.

the Japanese envoy to England, impaled himself upon the two horn of this dilemma in his labored explanation the other day in the New Tork Journals. On the one hand, he argud that hi countrymen were goaded to madness by Chinese atrocltiiw; on the other, he maintained that the man nacre lasted only one day instead oX four.

A pretty and stylish gown for afternoon receptions and calling Is shown here In the first Illustration. The material used Is brownish red and black cheviot and the trimming Is of baby lamb's fur.

The skirt Is made plain and very flaring from the knees down, and tbe trimming is put on In curves about a foot from the bottom. The waist Is short and made bebe fashion with a Jet studded yoke of maroon rep silk. A girdle of the maroon silk edged with lamb's fur and cuffs of the silk-edged top and bottom with the fur are an additional flnlch. A full, flaring Columbus collar and short shoulder cape of the Iamb's fur are worn with the costume, and give the toilette a very elegant and handsome appearance. A Gainsborough hat of black velvet trimmed with black ostrich feathers and rhinestone buckle is worn.

Coats seem to have entirely gone out now-a-days for dressy toilettes, and one sees only street costumes with the tailor-made coat that has been so popular of yore. The short, round basque la seen now In every kind of costume street, afternoon and ball gowns, and they certainly have the merit of being much more becoming to the figure of tho average woman than the long-tailed coat which has made so many women appear ridiculous. A very pretty costume is made of a. mixed blue and black material called camel's felt, and, although exceedingly plain, is also exceedingly stylish. The skirt is made with eight gores and each seam is welted, tn tailor-fashion.

The waist Is made double-breasted, the seams also' welted, and tbe only trimming is a double row of cut steel buttons down the front. DOWN WITH THE LYNCHERS.

Kr. Jan. 16. (Special.) One of the greatest drawbacks to the prosperity of Eastern Kentucky has been the clouds cast upon land titles by fraudulent or unjust claims, based, or alleged to be bared, upon old land grant issued while Kentucky waa a part of Virginia. The title to thousand of acre of tbe best timber and mineral lands in Eastern Kentucky have in this way been made to appear so doubtful that many investor have hesitated to buy this property.

An instance of this sort of thing ha Just come to light here. A gentleman undertook to make a sale of a tract of land in Clay county containing 320 acres, and found that a title to the property waa asserted through parties in Missouri dating back to the old land grant issued in 178by tbe State of Virginia. The party who how claims to own the property under this old grant 1 W. C. Brown, of Mexico, who purchased it from one H.

B. Miller. Miller's title is based upon the following abstract: Abstract of title to 25,000 acres of land In Clay county, Ky. The titlo to said 2S.0C0 acres Is based on and devised from a grant of hind containing acres made by the Commonwealth of Virginia to Benjamin Wynkoop. The survey of said land was done on the llith day May.

This land was at one time In Lincoln county, from- which county Jackson and Clay counties were taken. It lies on the south fork of the Kentucky river, and Is located and bounded as follows: Theto measures embrace the whole of the Wynkoop grant of 60.UUU acres, the) south one-half of which was conveyed by William W.

Gltt Dear Sir: Yours of March with deed inclosed, end two dollars to pay for recording deed is received. There la no record in my office of any deed or other papers adverse to your title to the land you claim. Your title is clear as any in Jackson county; Clay county, but recently waa organ ized, and that portion in which the Ben jamin Wynkoop tract of S0.W0 acres lie. with which I am well acquainted, was taken from this county. Thla land has tbe finest and beet coal.tlmber and iron ore on it.

with some good soil. (Sigued.) JAMES Clerk of Court and Register of Dueus, Jackson county, Ky. There follows also a certficate from one who calls himself tbe abstractor and who says he has' carefully exam ined the records of Clay and Jackson county and finds the above statements correct. A notary publio also certifies that he ha compared this abstract with the original and finds it a true copy. It is not stated where the original is to be found, and the postofnee address of the "abstractor" Is not riven.

"That look perfectly regular," said a Clay county man. "and is an ab stract that would fool almost anybody. But I have reason to believe that it is not worth the paper it Is written on. Miller and Brown are probably Innocent parties and victims. This land.

alleged to be covered by this abstract, ha been held for years by people who came by it honestly and can make out good titles to It. There are a number of reasons for denouncing this abstract as worthless if not fraudulent. In the first place the transfer from Samuel Young and wife to William W. Gitt. alleged to have been made In IS II, 1 said to be shown by a deed recorded in Jackson county in deed book 42.

page 36. The present Clerk of the Jackson County Court certine that there is no sucb record book a number 42. and that tber is no such record aa claimed by the abstract. Jackson county waa not organized until after Conse quently no deed could have been recorded in Jackson county in 1821. The records also show that there never wis such a party in Jackson county aa "James Tanner." who certifies that he was Clerk, etc Furthermore, the origin al owner.

Benjamin wynkoop, transferred his land, and a suit in the United States Courts as far back a fifty year ago settled the title to all his land, and the same I possessed by parties who have been holding adverse IKissusaion ever since, and thirty years adverse possession is the bent title according to tbe laws of Kentucky." The result of the circulation of false abstracts is, of course. Injurious to the last degree to this section. Every man who is induced to buy on a false show of title and subsequently discover it worth lestinesa becomes a constant warning to others against Investment In Eastern Kentucky lands. Letters of Inquiry- concerning the lands covered by such abstracts are constantly beintc received in Manchester, and from these It appears that many people in the NortVwest have been defrauded by bogus Kentucky land tltlea. The perpetrators of such fraud ought to be run dvwn and exposed, Daily Hints to Housekeepers.
