This action on his part , coming so sonn before the convening of the supreme court , when a decision Is expected on Boyd's ' ritlzenshlp , Is construed to moan that there ir at least , a strong democratic belief that the decision ot the court will bo favorable to Governor Boyd. i ho appointment of Mnllon to the warden- ship has the hearty approval of the hotter clement of the democracy of Dodge county , w which ho repro.icnts.

[ Special Tele gram to Tin : Bni-Tha : ] untl-ndniinlstration press of the cast and west continues to an nounce menacingly that the treasury Is threatened with a serious deficit by virtue of excessive appropriations at the hands of the lust congress. It Is true that the surplus has been reduced to n low ebb about $12,000,000 but It ran bo stated as positive without any reservation that every audited warrant against the federal government will bo paid without delay or quibble when pre sented. There Is not the least danger of financial embarrassment on the part of Unrle Sam on account of pension payments , public building appropriations , liver and harbor demands , or the redemption of tluil1 per cent bonds , which full duu September 1 , or anything else. Already the ofllcluU nt the treasury department hnvo found u number of plans for meeting obliga tions ns they may bo presented. In thc < tlrst place there nro about Sil,000,000 of subsidi ary coin in the treasury , which has been counted all ulnng us unavailable assets , "As no one has asked for it , und this cun and will bo paid out on pensions to meet other obligations if necessary. This can also be counted in the reserve bold for the redemp tion of national bank notes. It is not neces sary to pay out on the appropriations for river nnd harbor improvements and public buildings any fatter than the money is needed for dUburecinuit , and thus largo 'sums may nccuinulan from that direction , payments being made In in stallments as needed , The collections from International revenue and customs duties and other directions daily exceed the expense by several hundred thousand dollars. As far as the redemption of the 4J per cent bonds , amounting to § , V,000,000 or $00,000,000 , are concerned , there will bo no trouble what ever. It. is altop-cthcr llltely that the surplus by September 1 will accumulate sufficiently to redeem all these bonds should a demand bo made for the payment of all at onetime , but such nthlngwould bo almost paradoxical. If , however , there is not a sufficient surplus to moot the demands for i-edcmption , the treasury can and may propose to hold the bonds now deposited for circulation nnd pay 2 per cent interest. The banks which do not intend to contract circulation and do not want to buv of their bonds tor security would undoubt edly to a largo extent accept the terms of this proposition as a temporary expedient , and thus the cmorijency would bo bridged. In flno the secretary of the treasury has ample assets ana latitude nt his command to meet nil obligations of the government as they nro presented , and it can bo stated upon the highest nutority that all the talk about n threatened dcliclet is buncombe , intended to frighten the ignorant u'nd create prejudice against the party in power.

FREE EDUCATION IN ENGLAND , Congratulation'Among Oommonors Over the Conservatives' ' Stand , ITS EFFECT ON THE PARTY'S ' FUTURE , Ili-ltiflticra Want Information Hrgm-d- iiiK ( ho World's Fair Alarming AdvlL'cs fi-iini IjtNban New foundlanders PK-ascd. 1801 Ini fitw Yarlt .lnoclat l l'rcs\ \ LONDON , April 24. Tlicno is much con gratulation among members of the commons hat the conservatives have committed them- elves to free education , but much diversity of opinion ns to how the now departure vouid effect the party's future. No ono loubts that the lgovcrninont has made the coup with u view to a general election. Con- erViitlvcs who dlsllko the measure accept it because of their desire to associate the name of the party with Immense benefits to town vorklngmen and rural laborers , but the iberals reason that tory action cannot ake from them JUio credit of the measure for which they long fought , 'lie opposition has further nnd stronger reasons to bail the government scheme , con- nlnlng , as it does , abundant possibilities for tarty disruption and widespread national discontent. There will probably bo denoml- mtional trouble , etc. From n tactical point of view the unionists could not have found n better cry to go to the country vlth than frco education. Equally , from a tactical point of view , it could lot bo worse for them if , after the Iberals accepted the principle of the bill , a coalition of tory malcontents with the mass of the liberals threw out the measure on questions relating to the popular control of schools or interference with denominational irivllcgcs , and as far as the views of the lib eral leaders have been ascertained the bill will bo opposed unless It concedes power to elect representatives in the managing boards of all schools , Including voluntary and de nominational. A small section of the opposl- .lon appears to be willing to accept Mr , joschon's proposal in any form , arguing .hat free schools must ultimately inply popular control. But when the > arty Ideas which nro now rather n solution crystallgo under the pressure of party nccessltv it is inevitable that the iberals will present the solldost opposition to the measure unless representative local con- : rol is its guiding spirit. If a similar bill had jeen presented by a liberal governments Its eading proposals would have been for the In stitution of school boards in every parish. With church schools to bo managed by these soards the conservative government dare not attempt to interfere with the clergy who now control schools in over ten thousand wrishes , nor will Mr. Goschen take , ho risk of interfering with de- lomiuational schools already drawing over 50,000 from the imperial exchequer. According to high authority , cabinet plans , aowover , simply involve free education In tbo owcr standards , assisted education in the lighor standards and increased grants to de nominational schools. No change will bo made in the system of control except that parents shall have power to elect part of the txmrd. The solid opposition of the liberals on this latter point may glvo the conserva tives a disastrous chock on the eye of dissolu tion. If England is not properly represented at the Chicago fair the responsibility will rest upon the fair managers and not upon the English government , which is evincing the greatest interest in the fair. The government has alrcadv de cided to'inauo a handsome appropriation to Insure a full exposition of English products. Tho. nmount of the appropriation , with the names of the commissioners to look after English Interests , will shortly bo announced In parliament. Interviews with members show such a general sympathy with the undertaking that there is sure to bo cordial support of the proposed grant. The decision of the government to ask a grant is an unusual sign of friendliness. In the case of the French exhibition no appropriation was made. While everything Is favor able as far as the government and the feeling of Influential persons is con- cat ned , it must bo admitted that probable ex hibitors show marked Indifference , which is entirely owing to the lack of Information nnd the absence of uny ono to supply informa tion. Everything already done is duo al most solely to the spontaneous eftortsofSIr John Wood. Attorney General Wobitor , James Dredge and other members of the flnt arts society who hud charge of the English exhibits in Franco. Mr. Dredge accompanied the iron nnd svol men to America in 18X ! ) . nnd It is probable that ho and Sir John Wood will bo members of the Chicago commission. Mr. Dredge said : "Wo are anxious to do all wo can for the fair , but wo nro womlng under dlfllcultlos. Wo have no information such as exhibitors must have before preparing exhibits. Cblcagoans must bestir themselves If they wish England to bo fully represented. There are many preju dices to bo overcome. Among the difficulties is the absence of any one nblo to glvo information mation in regard to space and transportation of freight from the seaboard. The McKiiiloy law is still a big bug- bear. All sorts of reports are pub- lislied concerning the fair quarrels among the directors about site , etc. Information is necessary to counteract those canards. Whllo many of them nro on their face absurd , an impression remains which does harm. For Instance , the Economist says that the Illinois laws will probably prevent the employment in the fair building of people sent from abroad in charge of the exhibits. The people of Chicago ouiiht to act Instantly If they ex pect or dcslro a creditable display on the part of England. The foreign onico has received alarming advices from Lisbon , The English minister , Glynn Potric , represents the political situa tion as critical. The Portugese cabinet ought to submit a now English convention to the cortcs May fi , but the premier pleads for an extension of the modus vivcndi nnd delay in the publication of the convention in order to give time for abatement of the excitement against England , which is imperiling the position of the government. The Newfoundland delegates express them selves gratified at their reception In the house of lords. Since their statement in the lords they have received many encouraging promises of support from oQlccrs and mem bers of the common. A Chllllan envoy , Senor Godoy. has been trying to negotiate a loan of 150,000 foi President Bnltnuceda. London financiers having declined to advance the money , ho went to Paris , where ho con tinucs a search for a syndicate to take the loan. Ho has very little success. Godoy asv.'i ts that Balmacoda still has plenty of money to pay the troops with , and sooner or later will overthrow the In surgents. His declarations In regard to the state of the exchequer nro doubtful , in view of the fact that the Chilian cruisers built ii Franco cannot leave bceuuso two-llfths of the price stipulated to bo paid after final trial Is not forthcoming. Senor Godoy Is now about to go to Berlin to seek financial help. Gladstone has decided to support the divorce vorco reform bill introduced by Hunter This amazed the liberals , who believed bo would oppose any extension of divorce us a matter of religious principle. The bill entitles titles the wlfo to the dissolution of the mar rlago tie in the event of adultery or four yoiira desertion on the part of the husband The house of lords will reject it , as the bish ops will congregate against It.
