Wo hope that the public will not have
to wait much longer for printed copies
of the annual reports of the Treasurer
and Comptroller General. These, how
ever arranged, can be nude to show the
true condition of the State finances, and
the information they contain should be
promptly in rossccs;oH of the tax-pay-
ers and of the creditors of the State.
Silence and secrecy are injuring the
public credit; the whole truth will do
far more good than harm.

WASHINGTON, December 21.-Sumner
made speech against San Domingo, al
luding to President Baez. Cazran and
Febers as conspirators with Gen. Bah
cock, who called himself in the protocol
the aide de-cdmp of President Grant.
Where was the warrant for such Office?
1t was unknown in the laws. The object
OF appointing commission to proceed
to San Domingo was to commit Con-
gress to annexation; as if the President
merely desired information, he could
send commission and pay them out of
the secret service fund. in the protocol
signed by Baez and Babcock, the latter
pledged that tho President would SO in.
f1uence Congress rs to make annexation
q necessity. So the first thing the Pre-
sident did was to send naval force to
San Doming 60. that President Bacz might
betray his country. Sumner showed
that naval officer had entered the capi-
tol OF Hayti and threatened the authori-
ties that if they endeavored to thwart
the object OF annexation, he would bring
his guns to bear and blow down the town
against their ears. The Government
would not so threaten n stronger power.

not acquire the island of San Domingo.

IF New York is to be ruled and rob-
bed permanently by Tammany Hall, the
ultimate bankruptcy of that metropolis
is only question of time, not to men-
ton the moral collapse that j. inevitable,
and which is to DC more dreaded than
any possible yccrniary embarrassment.
The figures of the city debt statement,
recently and reluctantly given to the
public, are simply appalling-to Goth
amite The present municipal debt is
$76,005, 1914 This is an increase in
seven years of 1913, 1873 1854, over and
above the cxorbisant annual taxation
which has been levied. The present
debt is So to every man, woman and
child in the city, or $533 to every repis>
tered voter. and the city tax of the pres
ent year equals $2S per bead. And in
the face Of these facts the Messrs Tweed,
Sweeney, Fisk and and their confederate
thieves have stronger hold than ever
on the government of the city. We see
but one way Of escape, and that is
through q change in the State Constitu-
ton, providing that at municipal elec>
tons affecting taxation none but proper
ty holders shall vote. 1t is estimated
that the Tammany ring has under pay at
the city's expense, during all or part of
the year, as many as twenty thousand
men. Nlne-tenths of them are OF tho
lowest and worst class, absolutely with
out interest in the welfare of the city,
and only intent on s&eeping their mass
tiers in Office, and themselves in pocket
by means of their votes and re

TINE CONsfITUrlONALLY BILIOUS.

No two parts Of the human body more
strongly sympathize together than the
Stomach and Liver. When one Is de-
ranged, the other Is generally out of re-
pair. And at no other period Of the year
are they so liable 10 become deranged as
now, and thus lay the foundation Of disor-
ders which will rob life Of its pleasures,
and, perhaps end In death itself. The
stomach non requires an anti-bilious tonic,
the liver needs toning Immediately, and
the blood ought To be cleansed and purified.

statement; but, nevertheless, the necessity

THE CUSTOM HOUSE.
FURTHER APPROPRIATIONS
AGnEED UPON. #'.

The general appropriation bill, which
was to have been introduced in Congress,
yesterday covers an item Of $50 600 for
the prosecution Of the work on the Cairo
custom house. There is every reason for
believing that this appropriation will be
made. ...I-..
Our representative, Mr.. Crebs, has been
giving the matter the closest attention, and
in pursuading the committee to agree up
on $50 900 has improved upon the work
Of his predecessor, satisfactory ~ that
work was 10 both Radicals and Demo-
Gratis. Only short time ago Mr..
Crebs secured an appropriation Of $4,000
TO complete the roof Of the custom house,
etc. He asked for $4,000; but there was
a cutting down Of all the items, and Cairo
only shared the fate OF the others. But as,
in the twobills, Mr.. Crebs has secured US
$4,000 we have no regrets to express
over what he didn't get. He has shown
that he is giving the business of his con-
stitucn.s close attention and, although he
has "only introduced four bills we feel
very much like insisting that he has shown
himself an efficient representative
