THE BOTTOM ALMOST IN SIGHT.

The debt statement for the month of
September shows that on the 30th of the
month the net cash in the treasury
amounted to S96,444, ,s95 "a, decrease
during the month of $40, ,567, 1895. OF
course, nobody on earth, or in heaven
probably, can understand or unravel the
mystiRcations of democratic debt state
ment; but, if these figures are correct, the
cash in the treasury has largely shrunk
since Mr.. Cleveland's letter of accordance,
when he said there was $3.50, 100000 on
hand, while if the balance is shrinking at
the rate Of ten millions month it will
not be long until there is no cash on hand.
But, as we said, nobody pretends to un.

SPOKANE COUNTY POLITJCs.

A disposition to draw the party lines
closer than ever before Is apparent In
our county campaign. This is due par
TALLY TO the belief on the part Of voters
that we are engaged In the preliminary
skirmish that opens the great battle to be
fought for the possession of the Estate of
Washington" but mainly TO the fact that
the issue is sharply defined between
those who favor protection to the wooden
and mining interests of our territory and
those who support the free.trade policy
of Cleveland and the national democracy.
In the language of ex.Confederate Con-
gresham (now United States Senator) Vest.
Cleveland, by his message, has challenged
the protected industries of the country to
a fight of determination. The fight is to
the death"
The challenge of the president has been
accepted by the republicans of the coun-
try. Nowhere Is more interest mani
tested in the result than in the terri
tories.
This is natural.

Strip Washington territory of her wool
interest and her mineral interest and
what would be her future?
Destroy the hope of Spokane Falls to
become great manufacturing center and
what would be the result upon the future

1t is because the people understand the
issue thoroughly that the disposition is
strong on their part to discard their old

to unite in solid body in support of "the

MIR. BLAINE AND THE TRUSTS.

Mr.. Blaine is likely to give the democ.
racy all it wants of trusts" before he gets
through with the subject. In his speech,
at Goshen, Indiana, published in full in
yesterdays REVIEW. he clearly demon
strated the intimate and friendly relations
existing between the democratic party and
number of the most odious trusts" in
the country.
The sudden and comical change of front,
for example, of the South on the question
of the repeal of the internal revenue tax,
he showed to be the direct result of orders
issued by the whiskey "trust," to the
democratic managers. In season and out
of season, the democrats of Virginia.
North Carolina and Tennessee have fairly
howled their indignation at the tobacco
tax, the whisky tax. and the tax on fruit
brandy, The republican party, having
proclaimed as principle Of government
that these articles should be released from
taxation, rather than abate one jot the
doctrine Of protection; presto change and
the whisky trust. with the audacity of a
buccaneer, enters the field of politics and
issues its orders to the helpless democracy
of those and other Southern states to face
about and forward march back to the
place from which they have been running,
az fast as their heels would carry them,
for the last twenty years.
1t is a comical sight, and likely to be.
come pitiable one, if these Southern poll
ticians supplement their surrender to the
whisky ring with the pretense that they
are actuated by severe moral motives,
which forbid them to wear taxed panta-
looms, inside of which they carry taxed
whisky.
What has been said by Mr.. Blaine
about the whisky trust is better said, and
more explicitly said, about the sugar
trust. He shows that the sugar "trust,"

HOW 10 SAIL THE GREAT CIRCLE.
A USEFUL. COMPILATION TO DE ISSUED FROM TIN

A USEFUL COMPILATION TO DE ISSUED FROM THE
UNITED STATES nypRoGgApnIc OFFICE.
In Wow Of the increasing recognition among mari
ncrs Of tho sound principle Of conducting ship along
the arc Of the great circle, joining the points OF DC
parurc and destination, and Of the great advantages
to be gained by knowledge OF this branch OF nauti-
cal science, work has been prepared in the Hydro
graphic UGlcc, which has for Its object the collection
into ono volume Of all the analytical processes and
the description OF all charts and devices which have
been constructed for the navigation Of the great circle
track.
1t thus forms a history Of the development OF
methods for great circle navigation and reveals The
present state of tie science, and is also treatise on
the subject so arranged TO give clear conception
of each method and to form directory to sources
whore moro extended Information can be found. The
work cont aims the methods among others, OF Towson,
Airy, Chauvenot, Lieutenant Hillsrot, French Navy
Commander e. d. sigsbee United States Navy ana
Gustavo Herrlc, OF the United STATES Hydrographlc
Office The latter method is undoubtedly the Simplest
yet found for practical use In great circle sailing

ealing the really circuItous track OF the Mercaior

So popularzed them with scamcn that no me'hoa Oh

construction Of great circle sailing charts is method
that enables one TO measure tho course and distance
from the actual position OF the veSsci independently
of the great circle track previously laid down, Just
as tho rhomb and distance Is measured on ooo

and have undergone severe test, for accuracy ana ana

RESULTING TO their usefulness in lcssonns the labor

The general lack OF tho practical application OF the

from the Sub-Trcasury 100000, but since
have lost to it $4,000, 900; the gain counted for
five days in the averages, while the losses have
been about evenly distributed through the last five
days To-day's statement Of averages shows a
loss Of 81, 600 900 cash which should reflect o
movement to the interior Of about So 600, 600 and
