CAPITAL BUDGET.
DlLAIORY DEMOCRATS.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-The executive
departments made a narrow escape yester-
day from being destitute of funds and of
not being able to satisfy the pay rolls at
the end of the month, or to conduct any of
the other operations of the government.
| This incident is striking commentary
on the slipshod methods of legislation
which now prevails. The delay is directly
attributable to congress or to those house
officials whose duty it was to see to it that
the continuing resolution in proper form
should be submitted in due time to the
president. Congress was diatory in pass
ing this resolution, but the officers whose
duty 1t is TO see to it that the resolution
should reach the president for signature,
appear to have been much more
dilatory, At all events the resolution
did not reach the president from congress-
who ever may be responsible for the delay
until after o'clock, and the official day
closed at 4 o'clock, and after that time
there were no funds in several branches of
! the government for continuing the public
service. 1t was not until 4:l0 that the res
ulution had been presented to the president
IN due form for his signature The result
was that the payment of the army govern
ment clerks was delayed, as the diSburSing
officers OF the several departments could
not have their drafts honored at the treas
ury department until alter this continuing
resolution was signed. The treasurer
could not authorize payments in the alb
sence of an appropriation, and so it hap
pened that very great confusion resulted
from this carelesS method Of legislation,

everybody about congress will disayow

THE DIRECT TAX BILL DEFEAT

WASHINGTON, August 1.-The scheme to
attach the bill to refund the direct tax to
the sundry civil bill in the senate has
failed. The danger of dead lock between
the two houses on this bill and a long fiji
clustering contest in the senate should the
senate incorporate it in the bill is thus
avoided. At the time the direct tax bill
failed TO be acted upon in the house, owing
TO the obstruction of the filibusters under
the lead OF Mr.. Oates, of Alabama, Mr..
Spooner introduced in the senate and had
referred 70 the finance committee an
amendment 70 the sundry civil bill pro-
posing that thu direct tax bill should be
Incorporated in the appropriation bill.
The finance com nlttee reported fsyorabiy
on the SpooneE amendment and it has been
proposed that the direct tax bill would he
IN consequence Incorporated in the bill
without any considerable opposition in
the senate, which gave SO large a ma
lority for the direct tax bill early in the
session. This action was based on rule iir

was the inevitable separation OF the races

was not in the power OF the thought
full and conservative mon to SO
act as to secure absolute certainty
against race conflict, if in the midst OF
all this excitement and terror the two
races had been brought together for the
purpose OF testing whether the 1mbecile
government under which the tragedy had
been committed should continue its in
effectual and impotent rule, no matter
whether there was purpose on the
part of any to have such conflict. The
incorporate language of single drunken,
reckless man of either race, the rude or
angry contest between any two might
have. and probably would fire the slum
bering magazine and precipitate con-
t1lct." The minority, referring to the
recommendations of the majority of the
committee, says their object appears to be
to secure removal of certain United
States officials and employees and to carry
on an inquiry for which purpose is grave
usurpation of power, and deliberate at
TEMPT on the part of the senote TO disuual-
ify that body from performing properly a
high constitutional function. The power of
impeachment rests at once with the house
and the senate mas jurisdiction OF judges.
A proceeding looking to the removal OF
United States officer should be by i'm
parchment. Any other action by the sen
ate would be clear usUrpation of power,
and grave error in disqualifving itself
from fair trial. The report Is signed by
senators Pugh, Coke, Vest and George.

"REFORM" IN MICHIGAN.

The special election for Congressman in
the Eleventh district of Michigan has result
ed in Republican victory in spite of most
desperate efforts on the part of the Democra-
cy. The vacancy was caused by the death of
the sitting member. The canvass was short
but, on the part of the Democrats at least,
very active. There were three candidates
Seymour, Republican, Breen, Democratic
labor-fusion, and Steele, Prohibition. The
first has been in Europe and only reached
New York on his return on the Sunday be-
fore the election. Of course, he made no
personal canvass. The Democrats made
great effort to capture the district, and were
prompted and aided from Washington. The
district swarmed with federal officials. Gov
eminent patronage was freely dispensed or
promised, and money was used without stint.
A dispatch to the New York Times the day
before the election said: John B. Moloney,
President Ceveland's collector of internal
revenue in Detroit, and one of the 'slickest'
political workers in the State has been
traversing the district for the past two weeks,
organizing victory, possibly, and putting va
rious sums of money where they would do
the most good" The Detroit Tribune says:
Never before was such contest waged in a
Michigan congressional district Before the
Republicans had begun to organize, the dis
trict had been practically covered by federal
office-holders and Democratic emissaries from
outside who blazed their paths with green
backs and hunted every corner for votes
Over and over again the ground was thorough
ly traversed by the Democrats, and not
stone was left unturnea nor
man unseen. Daily advices and instructions
from Washington were received, in response
to which moro men and more money went
into the district from outside to bring out the
vote for Breen" After all this tremendous
| effort. and notwithstanding the apathy of the
Republicans and the absence of their candi-
date, they carried the district by several

dred dollars from the New Denison House.
We have no special method in mind to
how this fund shall be expended. The first
thing to do is to raise it, and then it can be

1.-THE BLOODY SHIRT"

The Journal said, the day after Mr.. Cleve-
lands free-trade message was sent to Crongress,
that the document was bigger the day it was
born than it ever would be again, and that the
Democratic President would not be allowed to
choose the ground for the next campaign, as
he evidently desired to do. Upon Mr.. Blaine's
Paris reply to Mr.. Cleveland we took occasion
would not be fought alone upon the tariff
question, vital and important as that was.
Where is Mr.. Clevelands message nowf Who
ever hears of it9 What Democratic paper
ever refers to itf What member
of Co, tress dreams of bill to
reduce the revenue upon the lines
Mr.. Cleveland SO pompously suggested on the
first of December lastG The answer to these
questions goes with the asking. And the man
is purblind who does not see that, while the
tariff and revenue reform and reduction will
have leading and its appropriate place in the
campaign, it is impossible to divide the parties
upon mere questions of detail alone, and that
fundamental questions including the very
llL0 duu COutlnucO cAlSLcuC0 OI AICO EofClA-
ment will be given their paramount, their
primal place in Republican faith and action.
This country cannot continue with an
impure or suppressed ballot in certain parts
any more than it could have continued
half free and half slave By what means, no
matter; whether through the question of
industrial protection or not, the right of equal
suffrage and of equal representation will be
brought to life and light in the Southern
States; while the Infamous acknowledgements
and crimes against equality of the ballot and
equality of representation in the North will
be punished and banished before the people
will consent to divide or! lesser issues.
Unsettled questions have no respect for the
repose of nations; and much as we might
like to devote ourselves to the almighty dollar,
the first political platform ever written or
uttered will not down-'the blood of thy
brother crieth from the ground" Whether
the equality of manhood under equal laws
be murdered by violence or murdered by fraud.
there is tongue in every wound that, if
all men could, be silent poltroons, would
cause the very stones to rise in mutiny.

The great Reading strike is ended. The
miners will resume work with the under
standing that the question of wages shall be
the subject of a future conference. In other
words, they will resume work at the old
wages. President Corbin agrees that no dis
elimination shall be made against the strikers,
but will protect the men who did not strike,
as also those employed since the strike began.
The strike has been on since about the middle
of December and has inflicted great damage
and loss in business circles. The strikers
have been out of work and out of wages, and
it does not appear that they have accom-
plished anything

Canadisn Press Opinion.

OTTAWA, Ont, Feb. 1.-THE Free Press
(Liberal). which is opposed to the government,
under the heading Treaty of Capitulation."
says: TT is announced by a telegram frorn
Washington that treaty was signed by the
fisheries commissioners yesterday evening. and
that its contents would be made public at once.
From the remarks credited to Secretary Bayard
it looks very much as it the treaty amounted to
a complete surrender to the Americans. Sir
Charles Upper appears to have held out until
the ringing of the second bell,' but pressure
from Chamberlain probably caused him to cave
in at last and to agree to any terms that Bayard
chose to dictate. OF course the treaty is sub
ject to ratification by the government OF Great
Britain. the Parliament of Canada, the Senate
of the United States, and the Legislature of
Newfoundland, and it is to be hoped that our
Parliament will have sufficient independence to
reject the treaty, If, as appears to be the case,
it involves the surrender of Canada's fisheries
without compensation
& The Evening Journal independently says:
'Despite the long-continued croaking OF Anglo
phobist correspondents at Washington. the flsh-
cry commissioners have reached an agreement
TIE croakers having been proven false proph-
cts, as regards the commission, will now
transfer their croakipgs to tho treaty We shall
now, for time, be deluged with prophecies that
the treaty will be Objectionable TO the United
States, or Canada. or England. or all three to-
gether We are satisfied that Sir Charles Tup-
per was perfectly competent TO maintain Can
adian rights We are satisfied that Chamberlain
was competent to guard the imperial interests.
This belief would leave only the possibility that
the United States interests might suffer- but we
suppose the United States representatives,. who
had more concentrated and definite interests to
guardthan the dou BILE barreed British half of the
commission, quite capable of taking care
of their case. If six specially qualified repre-
sentative men have reached unanimous con-
clusion the bject of the fishery differences
between the United States and Canada, 1t is fair
to assume, for the present that public opinion
on the continent will follow in their wake"

Probability that the Will of the Eccentric

house where she died. In the will be set
aside, all Mrs Emmons's property. valued by
her lawyer at $4,000, would go TO Professor

relatives who could claim the property. By the
terms of the will Professor Emmons will receive
only the wearing apparel and literary effects OF
the late Mrs Emmons. The will was executed

WASHINGTON special to the Louisville
Courier-Journal says:

A WASHINGTON special to the Louisville
Courier-Journal says:
"Col. Ed Henderson, Deputy Internal Rev
enue Commissioners, returned from his home
in Indiana to-day. While at home the
Colonel talked with enough people to convince
him that the Hoosier State is no longer
doubtful as to politics. He saw the repre-
sentative men of both parties, the conservative
element and politicians of high and low
degree, and the universal opinion expressed
was that Cleveland could carry the State over
any candidate the Republicans nominated
This revolution of sentiment was largely due
to the Presidents tariff message"
This is very funny. We fear the Colonel
has been magnifying the Importance of his
political discoveries. Of course it is all right
for him to stand in with the administration
and toot his horn Cor Cleveland, but we must
protest against his assuming to be the custo-
dian of Republican secrets. If the Colonel
will insist making himself ridiculous by
that kind of talk he ought at least to keep it
out of the newspapers.

1.-THE manufactures located in any part of
the natural gas field must necessarily be trib-
utary to the business of the city; and while
gas fuel is made absolutely free in many parts
of the gas field, it is also fact that it will be
made so nearly free to manufacturers in and
adjacent to Indianapolis that the superior
shipping and market facilities are worth more
to the factory than the nominal cost of gas
fuel, and manufacturers cannot afford to
locate in the gas field away from the city
and pay the additional cost of transportation
which is saved to them by our superior rail-
road facilities"
Indianapolis lies between the coal and the
natural gas field of Indiana, almost in the
edge of both. The development of either will
contribute directly to the growth OF the city.
Every city and town in the gas field is more
or less tributary to Indianapolis, and their
prosperity adds to ours The point is also
we'll made in regard to our superior railroad
and shipping facilities. Natural gas at seven
cents per thousand feet, or on the basis OF
block coal at ST. per ton, with our shipping
and market facilities is bigger inducement
to manufacturers than can be offered by any
other city in the United States. Now is the
time to advertise these facts and boom the

was cut down, but the reduction was hardly
as great as might have been expected under
the circumstances. The result does not sus-
tain Democratic claims in regard to Michigan.
With the entire strength of the State organ

administration concentrated on this district,

could not carry it. The Republicans of Mich

experience and strengthen their lines.
