Secretary Fosters explanation" OF
the new form of treasury statement
with which the administration begins
the fiscal year does not explain any
thing and was neither intended by Mr..
Foster nor expected by anyone else to
explain. Mr. Foster is not in q position
to tell the truth, which, as well enough
understood, is simply that the treasury,
outside OF its trust funds, has nothing
in it except the current collections,
which on the average of the coming
year win be exceeded by the eXpend-
itures. The object OF the change is to
avoid stating the amount of available
cash. if any, and, by juggling the 500
OGO, COG gold reserve trust fund for the
redemption OF outstanding notes, to
make it appear that there is a large
balance in the treasury.
In the statement for May the cash
balance met cash, net amount in banks
OF deposit and fractional currency was
given al S53, 721, 900, and the net bal
ance OF cash in the treasury at $40, 1885,

now only s., 146, 600, instead OF $50, $685.

WORK OF JUDGE LYNCH.

the crowd. increased to more than three
thousand. started to the prison of the
doomed men. The doors were battered
down and the un-armed aud quivering
wretches were riddled with bullets as
fast as found. Two of the dying Italians
were dragged out of the building and
hanged to Il lamp post and treee. Dis

is probably the death blow to the Malta.

BEER vs.. PENSIONS.

Fixed habits are difficult TO overcome.

stitutiOnal. And in the case of parties,
clubs and associations of all kinds.a fixed
habit dies only with the disintegration of
the association, and more plainly is this
fact apparent when the habits are evil.
FER SC. or the defense of and unfolding
of 4 great wrong.
There are two habits which are con-
stitutional with the democratic party,
one of which will ultimately cause its
downfall. 1t is only the young blood in
the democratic party that can be blamed
for continually kicking at the pension
expense. Truly the expense is great.
but it is debt we owe, and the amount
paid to the dependent soldier remains at
home and passes into circulation where
it is most needed, in the west.
To abuse pensioners and those who
favor pension legislation is one of the
main objects i'm the life of the average
democrat. And the gusto with which
they speak of pension legislation as re-
publican steals, as they sum up the total
amount paid out for pensions, (S137.-

Gates show a profit of from 10 to % per

our money is worth the price paid.
From every city in the land comes the
cry and wall of poverty and distress, and
in proportion to the number of saloons is
the amount of crime, and in proportion
TO the crime is the rate of taxation.
When we can be shown that this SUI
