This statement shows what, in the back
woods, would be considered queer book;
condition of the state for the current year
beginning Aug. 1. 1t gives the resources
from which the expenses Of the state are

face Of the statement this is an
unexpended balance from the year which
ended July 81. 1888. II all the expenses OF
the year had been paid then this is clear sur
plus, which becomes an actual resource for
the current year. If it is held against unpaid
claims of the past year, then it is not at all
resource to meet the current demands. Turn
ing, to the liabilities Of the current year we
find SS6,64S of ''outstanding warrants"
drawn against last years funds. and UNPAID
appropriations of last year $475, 500, or
total OF S562.148 of the expenses of last
year unpaid. and with only S139,99O cash
from that years resources to pay it with,
leaving deficit from last year of 1922, 158.
But it may be doubted if that $139,990 is
really balance from last years accounts.
Mr.. Braden does not say 1t Is, but
Now recalling Treasurer Bobleters first in
terview, he said that among the resources
under his control with which to meet the
pressing demand was authority to borrow
from the school fund S2oV, 900, and that he
had already borrowed S139,00O. The SINH
larity between the am ount he borrowed from
the school fund and the amount the auditor
SAYS the treasurer has on hand is certainly
striking. 1t warrants the conclusion that the
first interview was not the fabrication the
treasurer would now wish to have it, but was
a fact stated by him without appreciation OF
its damaging effect. The ''cash on hand' is
simply the money borrowed from the school
fund. II this is the case, then it must be re-
paid from the current income, and is not
present resource at all which would leave
the outstanding warrants" and the unpaid
appropriations a deficit carried over from
last year and to be met by the income of this.
Another item of resource" is the author
lied overdraft, 100000" Bobleter says
that he has already drawn S139, 900 of it, so
there would be $61, 600 of it left, instead of
this $4,000 But how can permissible
loan be an actual resource? Is It never to
be repaid? Is it not a charge against the
current income? If it is a resource" is it
not equally ''liability?" Now, taking from
year, what it is plain do not belong there,
the leash on hand" item and the over draft
authorized, amounting to $3.50, 800, we have
81, 705, 600 Of actual resources with which to
meet the 81, 02I, 245 of liabilities which his
statement shows to exist, This leaves de-
felt for this year of S316,2 ,245, or about the
amount inferable from the much lamented
interview No. of the state treasurer.

This is only small part of the sala-
ries paid by the state, and does not in all
the above cases represent the full
amount received, but for illustration it
will do. In truth the SS4,216 covers
about thirty-twO persons in the employ
of the state, making for them an aver
age salary of $4,000.
But it is to be borne in mind that the
above figures are only comparatively
infinitesimal amount of the states
salary and ''mysteriOus" contingent roll,
and that the ten heads of departments
who control it do not represent more
than half of the state governmental
that much. 1t is to be noted as well,
that every legislative journal for the
last eight years shows constant voting
of increased salaries and of increased
contingent or ''incidentap funds,
without, except in the case of the
auditors Office, any material increase
of business. Add to this the legislative

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Oct. 3.-Bishop VIM.
Taylor, the distinguished American bishop
Of the Methodist church, before leaving
Springfield expressed his views on the dis
appearance Of Henry NJ. Stanley, the Airi-
can explorer. He said that, from his
knowledge Of the conditions Of things in
Africa, it was highly probable that Stan
ley had gone into the interior OF the coun-
try, where he could not be heard from for
year or two, and that interested persons
were taking advantage Of his absence to
create friendship for individual schemes to
organize searching parties whose real OBJ
ject was something else than the recovery
or assistance Of Stanley. A desire for pub
lie sensation perhaps prompted many Of
the publications respecting the explorer.
For his own part, the bishop did not be-
lieve there would be any special cause for
alarm il he was not heard from for year

DECATUR, Ala, Oct 3.-No marked
change has taken place since yesterday,
and everything still presents gloomy APP
pearance. Five new cases and three deaths

considered suspicious. The dead are DR..
w. b. Black, Mr.. Martin Hooker and Rob-
ert Orr, the two latter having never been
reported, and il was only yesterday even
ing that Mr.. Hooker was known TO be
sick. DIR. Black was one OF the oldest
and most highly-respected physicians in
the city, and he was given Christian
burial this morning, he being the only
victim that has yet had such burial,
the Rev. DIR. Armstrong officiating. Mr..
Arnheiter, the butcher, is now seriously
sick, and will likely die within the next
twenty-four hours. DR.. Sternberg the yell
low fever expert sent out blythe government,
is here, busily engaged investigating the
case, and fully concurs with DIR. Cochrane
that what We have here is genuine yellow
fever, although some OF our physicians
were 10th to admit il.

Of money on hand.
Tie mercury last night fell 10 36' and q
light frost was visible this morning, but
not enough for any material benefit. DIR.
Cochrane advised all refugees 10 remain
where they ARE for some time yet, as he
thinks their return would only add TO the
spread Of the disease. Drs. Williams and
Buckley have recovered from their attack
and are again moving about on the street
and assisting in ministcring TO the wants
Of the distressed. All OF Dccatur's refugees

reports OF the last four days show that
three-iourths OF the new cases are among
the colored people.
We now have postoiIice established
Just outside Of Incorporation limits which
