One of the great problems for Congress
to solve at its coming session is what
shall bo done with the surplus in the Na
tional treasury. Another grave problem
is how to pay off the National debt without -
out disturbing the present banking aye.
tom , Lastly cornea the problem of Na
tional taxation by imposing duties on
imports and by taxing the manufacture
and solo of liquors and tobacco.
Political economists , statesmen and
financiers differ widely about the proper
solutioi of these problems , Wharton
Barker , of Philadelphia , one of the ablest
minds in Pennsylvania , advises Congress
to divide the sui lus in the treasury
among the States ; continuo the protective
tivo duties on imports and ubolislr inter.
nal revenue taxes ,
Mr. Barker is seconded by imifiuontinl
protective tariff organs hi I'emsylvnnia
and elsewhere. The prcposal to divide
thin surplus in Uncle San's cash box
strikes a very responsive chord among
southern jcurnalists and politicians , who

plonlah time depleted treasuries of their
respective states. Although Nebraska

scheme. 1Ve should consider it much
vvinor and in the end more beneficial to
ted
the whole 'country ' if Congress would
dispose of the surplus in tie
treasury do anothmer way. Con
grass could eortainly confer greato r
benefits upon the American people by
setting aside from fifty to eighty mnilliomi s

for time purchase of existing telegraph
lines , or the building of a system of tale .
graph lines to be operated in comiectie
with time postal service.
Time people of time United States need ,

The govormnemt of Lido United State s

than pay out time surplus in time treasury
for internal improvements and slmip
building. Our waterways should be
made navigalbe , canals should be built

will encourage labor , foster industry an d

Grant em Lincoht would carry all the

Arthur amid Lincoln would ha strong and
successful. lint Grant and Lincoln , or
Blnino and Lincoln would be perfect in-
surmico of sweeping victory. There is
no faction now iii talking of candidates
for 1884. The best man is time candidate
all Ropublicaus want , wimoever ho is-
and after ho is nominated avery non wlmo

Blame President than any man living ,
and I no would be a President who would
give cause for every American to ho
prouder than over of his country. But
we agree with lmim that we want both a
strong man and a matt we can elect for
.tho candidnte next year , and believe with
lmim that Limo party may best be loft to
select him on its own judgoment. Gen.
Grant we would support as cordially as
we have over supported any candidate.

Arthur mmd Lincoln would be vary
strong , for President Arthur has
proved lmimsolf to time conipleto

and Lincoln's name would add strength
to tlmo ticket , vvho ever nmay be time first
comm. There in history-and time best
( hero is in Anioricarm history-about his

his ability worthy of the position.
No tlmumk time tendency now is toward
President . If so we alma ! ! be
comtont , and Limo party will win. The
other indications now are that if Arthur
and Lincoln are not nominated that it
will be ejtlmor Grant amid Lincoln or
Blaine and Lincoln.
Time Railroad Power
Salt Lake Tribune.
When mon try to fathom the railroad
power of tlmis country they , as a rule ,
nmeasuro it from time simple standpoint of
money , coupled with time fact that as it
draws tribute from all tire people , it can
not ho ] but kayo money. But that power -
or lies another tremedos support v
is seldom counted upon. We mean time
men vvlmo control timbusiness. In no
other field arc men so well paid as the
high officers and attorneys of railroads.
In no other business has capacity among
subordinates been so quickly recognized
and rewarded by promotion. As a result -
sult , in the business are the quickest intellects -
tollects of the country , and coon vvlmo
learned to commiand through the discipline -
pline of obedience. The consequence is
' time railroad powrbr of the country is in
fact a magnificently generald army , and
there is no touter where them is not an
ontrenclmed camp ; no outpost that does
not contain double lines of sentries.
When an attack is made from any quarter -
tor , there can be no surprise. No matte
] row sudden and severe the attack , the
defense is sufficient. Whet er. it coma
from a city or county ; from a soveri
State or from Congress , which ropreseni
all tire States , it matters not There
waiting are regiments of statistics ; Yirig
rides of proofs ; divisions of argument
and corps of reasons , to appose any chang
which may not suit the roads. So per
feet is time organization that no attack
brings out the full strength of the do
fense. It is only whoa there are difficul
ties among themselves to be 'adjusted
that the highest genius is manifested
