ITic great public war debt ia being1 reduced monthly and after a few de cide the great burden ought to jibe lifted from the shoulders of the peo ple. The money raised by i taxation since pcac was declared, if properly applied, would have been almost suf fieicnt to pay off the entire indebted ness. The taxes have been huge, and hundreds of millions have been literally stolen, misapplied and wasted. The policy of making jlhe generation that fought in the,jwar pay o2 most of ihe debt was not a wise or considerate one. Daring the k;x years embraced in 1879-84, $G00, 000,000 of the national debt were actually liquidated. v Tbe rapid "of the debt ' may payment have a ""very disturbing influence upon the finances-. The studen of political and financial history knows that in 182C an effort was made to lessen the tax for paying ofl the great British debt, although the sink' ing fend was only one-tenth of one per cent." It is to be noted, how ever, that it is the capitalists who are the first always to squeal when tne public debt of. a country is being rapidly cancelled. It is so in Eng land and it is bo now in the United States. ' It is selfish on their part as they get a higher rate of interest when there is more indebtedness, Prof. Sidgwick, a great living'Eng- lish economist, says that "the gain to capitalists from the rise of interest inevitably involves a corresponding loss to labor." But this is a study requiring much" patience and at tention. ' ! Debts of any kind are not a bless ing. A great publio debt is pirely a great burden upon the tax-payers. And yet it is of doubtful wisdom to force one generation to pay off a tremendous debt incurred by former years of war. This is one view. The other view is, that the debt ex ist?, and aa long as it exists there is an eatingconsuming interest to be paid. This interest keeps up taxes. 'But the American people found themselves, in 1865, in the presence of very great debt. It had (lo be met in some way. It has been great ly reduced, after' paying an immense sum in interest, and the taxes: have been and are very high. Since1 1865, the interest alone on our national debt amounts to $2,400,000,000. This has been paid in gold at an advanced value. By A. D. 1007, there will be more' than a thousand million dollars of interest' to be paid. But the steady reduction is going on and ' the people are more benefited by this than are the capi talists. I 'Most of the U. S. bonds are held iit New England, New York and Europe. The South owns bat little ofj the bonds. There can be no let up in the taxes for the public debt for a long jtime to come, j As we have said, more than a thousand millions in interest must be paid hi the generation just oming and by 1907 or in twenty i on now years. Thf; other taxes for the mainten- ! . ji ance of Federal. State and municipal governments ought to bo- as low as possibl consistent with efficiency and economy. Taxes, as we have often said, are a curse to any people. We are reminded of the saying of English courtiers, as reported by Lord Bacon. ' They held that taxes were like water which is drawn up to" be returned to the earth in fructi fying rains. But a Roundhead, in the days of Charles I., eaidjlhat it had descended "in hailstones and mildews." . ;i : .- .' . " . ACCUSATION AND DEFENCE.

D wight by the hand, attempted to reply but the outburst of ap plause was so enthusiastic that he stood several minutes holding the President by the hand before he could be heard. ". Mr. Tucker thanked President D wight for hia noble sentiment and prayed God to bless the union of Connecticut and Virginia and Yale University, j This exchange of fra ternal greetings and striking maimer in which it was carried out created the greatest enthusiasm and most favorable comment."

To this, thti Louisville Courier' Journal replied: jf "This ii a fair sample of the flapdoodle that passes current outside of Kentucky. Craig Tolliver is a Republican file-leader and Rowan county is Republican."

The consolidation of internal revenue districts is an excel lent supplementary act to the con solidation and abolition of custom house (Tariff) j districts, j If j there was nonse for the number of inter nal revenue districts -why j retain them a( so much cost to the people ? The policy of the Democrcy has been to get rid of all unnecessary (and there were many such) custom houses. The policy should be ex--tended to wipo out theuseless costly internal revenue, districts No cusr tom house should be retained just to continue in office party henchmen. This was j the constant course of the Republican Administra tions all through th9 years. They created many custom-house and in ternal revenue districts for no other purpose than tcf find fat places for "offensive partisans. " Some of these custom-house districts cost five or ten times more than the total re ceipts amounted to. The ;: present Democratic Administration does not intend to follow such bad examples or to allow their continuance. Well done I ' It is certainly a: movement in the right direction.

Prince of Peace. ' He raved, he snorted," he mouthed, beat the air and was blasphemous and unseemly. We copy a few samples . from this cleri cal demagogue's violent and effusive harangue. He said : "This country had no flag" when the Revolution began, but in time came the Stars and Stripes, the most beautiful ban ner ever created, a banner full of Oospel. for in" the red we have the symbol of blood shed upon Calvary; in the white is sym bolized the washing and regeneration from sin, and in the blue the glorious representa tion of hope for all the sin-oppressed peo ple of the earth, while in the blue field stand the stars of Heaven. "Is it strange that we feel proud of this banner ? . Is it wonderful thai it should be honored by those - who have carried it where bullets were flying like leaden hail T No wonder the veteran as he views the flag under which he fought, torn by shot and shell and tattered by exposure, cannot re press the unbidden tear. No wonder that the suggestion to change the custody of the emblems which he and his dead comrades wore in battle should evoke intense feelings of patriotic indignation." The Statesville Landmark and Fayetteville Observer have cordial words in urging our distinguished Citizen, Hon; Georgo Davis, for the Supremo Court Bench.

"Vilinington is really on a boom," said an enterprising citizen to a Star reporter when on his rounds yester day. And this seems to be the feel ing of our people. The number of buildings now in course of erec tion is unprecedented; dwellings, chiefly and a few places of business. But the question is, what is to give the occupants of these numerous buildings employment? This is a matter of great importance, and one in which all good citizens are deeply interested. We have numerous saw mills, guano factories, the creosote works, a cotton factory, and other in dustries which give employment to a large number of our population, yet we need others; and there are a great number of enterprises which not only will pay handsome profit on invest ment, but will give steady employ ment to these dwelling-occupants. Take for instance the manufacture of buckets and tubs; There is a great abundance of the most valuable juni per, which can be obtained here as cheaply as it can anywhere in the United States.' A" paper factory and the manufacture of paper bags would pay. We have in cur midst the great est quantity of 1 wood" suitable for pulp; and cane, and other fibrous ma terial which is at our doors. We have only to stretch forth piir hands, as it were, and gather With the slightest expense. Then there is the manufac ture of cotton bagging and rope; all of which can be done as economically here as in any other part of .the coun try. . - - - 1 - :.'-:" "'- .. The manufacture of wooden plates, canning vegetables, and manufac turing common chairs and bedsteads are all inviting enterprises. . -; These will give work and steady work to our wage-earners, increase our population, bur trade and wealth, and cive us enduring prosperity. If the capitalists in our midst have not the enterprise to invest their means in these industries let some of our young men who are pushing and en terprising take hold, of some of these or similar enterprises, and form Btock 'companies, (which is so easily done under bur present law,) solicit and ob tain shares of stock from any citizen t-one or more shares as his means will permit and in the aggregate the requisite capital is obtained. : j Who is the man to take hold ?

Changes in tbe clerical force of the Poetoffice and Interior Departments, incident to tbe close of "the fiscal year, are comparatively slight. In the jrostonice Department only one clerk was removed. One $1,800 position created by the new appropriation! bill was filled by promotion, unite a number oi promotions and transfers were made. In tne interior Department proper, a Tew unimportant changes will be made The new law provides for three additional law clerks, three additional members of the Board of Peneion Appeals, and for a num ber of agents to allot lands in severalty to Indians. Neither the law clerks nor In dian agents have yet been .appointed. Changes in the bureaus of the Interior De partment are insignificant. No Changes of consequence will be made in the clerical forces of tne state and xsavy Departments as the result of legislation contained in ap propriation bills. To carry out the Sscre- tary s ideas regarding the consolidation or the purchasing system of the Navy Depart ment, in one bureau a, number of financial clerks of different bureaus have been trans ferred to the Paymaster General bureau In the consular service of the government the present system of compensating consuls by fees will, under the terms of the new appropriation bill, be supplanted to a large extent by a system of salaries. In the War Department, of seven clerks and copyists dismissed in the Quartermas ter General's office, all but one were wo men. Besides these dismissals,! there were many changes in this office, anumbcr of clerks being reduced to lower grades and as many more promoted or transferred toother grades. Twenty clerks in the Treasury Department have been dismissed, to take effect to-nforrow, because of the failure of Congress to make provision fcr the pay-. ment of their salaries. A number of minor changes, such as increases and, reductions in salaries of ceitain officers, will take effect to-morrow,, as does also the executive order . consolidating Internal Revenue districts and reducing tbe number of Collectors and other employees. , Tbe Judicial branch of the Government is increased by two judges, and few clerU cat changes cccur in tne Department or Justice.

An examination of the accounts of the late Levi Bacon, financial clerk of the In terior Department, shows a : deficiency of $28,000 in his cash. Upon Bacon's decease, at the request of his bondsmen.

The report of the committee was submitted to the secretary a few days ago and is said to fchow a de ficiency of more than $28,000, of which $16,000 is represented by due bills of em ployees of the office to . whom Bacon ad vanced monev. - Some of these due bills run as far back as 1879. It is believed that a considerable ' portion of .the money represented by s these bills can be recovered, and Secretary Lamar to-day is sued an order directing the disbursing offi cers to retain a part of the salaries of the employes whose due bills are held and thus secure the government against loss as far as possible. -This policy was pursued to day in making montbly payments or sala ries.

My employer brought me news- that the editors of tbe Arbuter Zeitung had Deen arretted ana . tne paper stopped. Being one of the trustees of the Socialistic Publishing Society, I felt obliged to see what was to be done, and went to I. the Ar buter. Zeitung office. A band of detectives. like vandals, were at work in the compos ing room, destroying the type and forme, etc. They also found material I for the preparation of bombs, namely: type f and stereotyped plates - My brother -in law, M. Schwab, was also arrested, despite the fact that he was absent from the meeting at Uavmatket. . I thousht that he would ba let free under bail, but I soon discovered my mistake. Next day I .again went to work, but soon two blackguards invited me to go to the Chief. After questioning me. at length he let me go; nevertheless I thought it advisable , to git out of the way for j a while. I stayed near Chicago until I was informed that I was a much sought and very tli sirable person They , accused me of 'having thrown the pomb,- because the actual ihrower of the bomb could not be found by the sleuth hounds for want of brains and wit.

June 30 Light 'receipts of spring wheat, practically but one car, and a withdrawal of 265,000 bushels of spring wheat from stores, gave wheat a firmer tone at the opening this morning July started at 69fc, fell to 69 c, and in a few minutes sold up to 69c. Prices changed, but little during the early part of the session. Spec ulation was very much depressed Now and then trades were made but in a per functory sort of way, and of I this kind there was not a sufficient amount to move the indicator on the dial any appreciative distance from 69i& During the last two hours of the morning session there were many more men arranged in cool: places than there were in the pit. No news what ever came from outside markets, nor was any developed locally. . There are natural cau6ea why the market was sluggish to day. To-morrow is settlement, day, and much more interest will attach to that event than to the prices. It will be a short session anyway, and will be followed by a three days' adjournment, which of itself is sufficient for not putting up any new deals. July closed at 69?&69ic. Corn was moderately active, thougb at times it was rather auiet. - The feeling was i easier. influenced mainly by reports of rain throughout the: Northwest, and values averaged about Jc lower than yesterday. The trading was largely in changing July to more deferred options. July opened c lower at 36Jc sold down to 352c and closed at 361c. Oats were unsettled; deferred deliveries were firmer and ranged higher.- closing about half a cent higher. The main specu lation is in new crop deliveries, and tbe firmness seems to be due to the hot dry weather. July opened at 261c. declined to 25c, advanced to !5iyt5c ana closed at 25ic ;V Provisions, under the influence of weaker hog market, opened rather tame land at slightly reduced prices. Later in the day the demand was more active for specula tive account and the market showed more strength, accompanied with a moderate ad vancein prices. Trading was chiefly in lone deliveries and in July, in settlement Shorts purchased rather freely." Lard was firmer and prices influenced by the covering bv shorts, advanced: ioeai7c per iuu pounds, and the appreciation was well maintained.

The Journnl T Tin. bates, referring to the action of Count De Juontebello, French ambassador at Con stantinople, in relation to the Egyptian convention, says: .''Nothing is more natu ral than: that the French diplomats should at one time have considered that possibly France would assent to a convention short ening by several years the period of En glish occupation of Egypt. We are ready to negotiate on that basis now, but we cannot agree that England, by any pretett, should have the right to perpetuate ber occupation of the country, . or that she should be allowed to- reoccupy it, for the reason of which she alone -should judge. No Frenchman of common sense would thus sanction a British protectorate, and convert into a right recognized by France, wnai now is merely a fact. . Bklgbade. July 1 . M.

July 1 In the House of Lords this evening, in the report of the stage of the Irish Land bill, the Earl of Dunraven said that there were three hundred amend ments waiting, which might almost recast the bill. Many of the provisions of which derogated from the main object ofj tbe measure. ' - i Earl Spencer declared that the bill would fair t6 bring about a settlement of the Irish question, and was not worth con sidering, as it would not relieve the teriaut. He did not think that the government un derstood some of the clauses because in some Cases the clauses would inlurj the tenants, and in the other case they would injure the landlord. Tenants might be ordered to pay arrears in small installments, but payment of rent was not provided! fr therefore the tenant might continue paying instalments and allow rent to accumulate. Directly the bill passed the courts would be crowded with applicants whoe cases would not be settled for years. 1 Lord Asbourne, Lord Chancellor off Ire land, said that after the bill proposed the necessary evictions would not ' be open to harsh criticism. The bankruptcy clauses of the bill were- fair and reasonable. I Baron Herschell said that clauses deal ing with, evictions, in which power ia given to leasers to go to court, were the I only clauses worth anything. Lord Salisbury said it was because the liberals had tried to apply an impossible system to the relations between landlord and j tenant; that the government j was obliged to introduce the present bill. It was a pity that the liberals had not fore-' seen these evils, so that the government would not have had to undertake the im possible task of introducing sanity into the landed policy which was absolutely in sane;. Cheers!. He did not regard tbe bill as a final measure, but he believed it would be an element in restoring peace and oci will. j " London, July 2 Over one hundred English, Scotch and Welsh members of the House of Commons have signed j a me morial to the President and Congress of tbe United States, in favor of referring all Anglo-American disputes to arbitration for settlement.

A local paper says no such drought as now prevails, has existed in! Illinois and Wisconsin for many years. The roads are ankle deep witn dust, pas tures are brown, and the leaves on the for est and shade trees shriveled -up. and each hot breath of air from the cloudless hori zon drives them away in showers.! Creeks have run dry, and the water in the larger streams is at a lower stage than was ever known before. There has not been a soak ing rain in this part of the country since March. Two showers in April ana one in May and June, had but a temporary effect on the crops. - stunted yellow spears, bend' ing disconsolatory over immense beds of dust, are the only evidence that the far mers sowed any corn this year. The leaves of the fruit trees are falling off, and frutt, which promised to be plenty, is wrinkled ana anea to tne stem. jasp berry bushes look as though they were pro- ducme a crop of. snot. so lnnniteiy small and hard are the berries. , The drought has become so terrible that public prayers are being offered : for : rain .

Fires-are burning in the woods. and the pastures for miles around are scorched. The farmers have- lost many cattle in these fires, which seem to spring ud in a dozen places at once, f Reports from all parts of Henry and the adjoining counties tell of intense suffering from the drought. The drinking water, in many towns has been polluted, and the white beds of the creeks are covered witn decay ing fish. The drought in the northern and central tiers of counties of Illinois is not anv more serious than it is in Wisconsin, The Badger State is literally burng np and thafrnit and crops are nearly destroyed.
