THE Administration seems to be racking it's
brains to devise schemes by which the present
comparatively empty condition of the Treas
ury may be made less apparent to the country
1t is announced that the form of Treasury
statement will be changed on the 1st of July,
so that some of the small amount of money
still left in the vaults and not now counted
among available assets by the Treasury book
keepers may be made to figure among the
available assets and thus avoid the unpleasant
duty which devolved on the officials one day
the past week of announcing deficit No
doubt the anxiety of the Treasury officials to
show balance on the right side of the ledger
is commendable The country is rich and the
Government will in some way,meet all its cur
rent obligations, vast as they have be-
come through the reckless prodigality of the
late billion-dollar Congress. Anapparent de-
ficit in the Treasury at this time can hardly
affect the credit of the Government. Still,
no doubt, the Government financiers are wise
In desiring to adopt changes In the form of
bookkeeping which will enable them to can
eel the devastation wrought by the billion
dollar Congress and show some sort of sur
plus instead of a deficit. Even a technical
shortage in cash might have some slight dis
turbing effect on business, as it is pretty GER
tain to have on politics. Still the Republican
press should not affect to treat too lightly the
assertions that the Treasury is bankrupt. OF
course, there are millions of money in the
Treasury more or less available to pay Gov
ernment Indebtedness This does not affect the
fact that millions on millions have been spent
to reduce the magnificent surplus left by the
Cleveland administration, SO that a change in
the method OF bookkeeping is required to show
any spare cash at all. 1t is well enough to 90
ahead and adopt new style of Treasury state
ment, but that will not put the dissipated
millions back into the vaults, nor will it make
the country forget how they were spent.

THE Interior Department is to spend 81, 900
in putting in repair the prehistoric ruins in
the Gila River Valley of Arizona. The name
of the architect who has drawn up the plans
for the renovation of the ruins is not an
nounced, but no doubt he will fix up Case
Grande in fine shape, with all modern i'm
provements, including hot and cold water on
every floor, electric lights and bells, bay win
dows. and tiled roof. All ruins in this great
Republic should be- keptin flrst-class repair,
so as to present the strongest contrast possible
to the dilspidated and moss-grown ruins of
the effete monarchies of Europe.

MAJOR MCKINLEY has been nominated as the
Republican candidate for Governor of Ohio on
platform with which the Democrats ought
to be we'll satisfied. 1t makes the issues clear
between the two parties. 1t declares for
high tariff, high taxes, the fostering of special
interests at the expense of the whole body of
citizens and generally for continuation and
intensifcation of the policy which has made the
Republican party the natural ally of the great
moneyed interests and estranged it more and
more from the hard-working masses. 1t is
platform on which Major Mckinley can COM
fortably and honestly stand and amplify with
fervid enthusiasm the one idea which really
underlies Il all and which he never tires of ex-
pounding-the idea that the country can be
made richer by taxation, and material pros
perity and social security increased by legis-
lating so as to concentrate wealth in the
hands Of the hundreds while the mill
ions are made poems If not paupers. The
Democrats can ask no more than that Nc
Kinley will conduct his campaign argumenta-
ton on the lines Of the speech he made before
the convention which nominated him. That
speech presents very clearly the high-protec-
ton Republican doctrines at their very worst,
making contrast with the Democratic doc
trines so striking that even voters who for
years have been blinded by partisanship to
their own interests will at last have their ewes
opened.

If the contest about the Rock Creek Park
lands is kept up long enough the owners will
be almost certain to make out that they are
not offered enough for their property. While
the fight keeps the park project at stand
still, the growth of the city In that direction
goes steadily on and values are increasing
rapidly. The trouble is, however, that the
lands selected for the park may become so
valuable that Congress will get frightened
and let the scheme die. That would be very
deplorable ending of an admirable project.

HERE is fresh proof of the unwisdom prev
slent in labor organizations. In Rochester re-
Gently two labor lead ers were convicted Of
conspiracy in connection with strike and
sent to prison. Now the labor men are trying
to get the manufacturers indicted simply be-
cause the latter joined in an agreement to
blacklist their former employees who had the
impudence to strike for what they foolishly
considered their rights. The workingmen will
no doubt learn some day that laws are made
by most legislatures to protect wealth from
any disturbance in the process of making more
wealth and not to protect mere workingmen
in the vulgar functions of making living for
themselves and their wives and babies

Sin fact" said quizzical friend of the
Colonels who had had some experience in
Mississippi himself, 'it is regarded as a breach
OF etiquette, calculated to lead to very en-
barrassing situations, to go unarmed in Mis-
sissippi. Every gentleman takes IT for granted
that every other gentleman is armed, ready
to defend himself. When one gentleman
calls another liar or applies offensive
eplthets to him, the affronted man instantly
pulls his pistol and blazes away at his in
sulter. Now, If the latter, after being shot
full OF holes is discovered not to have been
armed, you can see bow embarrassing
the situation is for the gentleman who did
the shooting. He is in the awkward dilemma
of having killed man who could not defend
himself, thing which no man of honor in
Mississippi will do. So to save their friends
and neighbors, who may feel disposed TO kill
them, from such q possible embarrassment,

WHISKY AND CARDS
The Cause of a Shooting Scrape
at Fort Douglas.
At a Late Hour Last Night 1t Was Thought
the Victim Of the scrape Would
Not Recover.

Whisky and cards were the cause of a
frightful shooting scrape at Fort Douglas
yesterday morning.
1t seems that Rufus Smith, private of
D company, William Carter, a private of
H company and some other soldiers
had been gambling at the old fort
traders house during the night, and of
course there was good deal Of drinking
going on. AT daylight Smith and Carter
became engaged in quarrel over stakes
and Carter challenged Smith to fight.
The latter stepped around the table
and drawing his six-shooter opened
fire and the bullet struck Carter in the alb
domen, piercing the bowels and coming out
to the lef. of the spinal column, infiicting
serious wound. Smith was disarmed after
the first fire, and Carter was taken to the
hospital, while Smith was placed under
arrest and put in the guard house. AT a
late hour last night Carter was still alive,
but no hopes were entertained of his recov-
cry. Those familiar with the facts con-
denim the shooting as cowardly and unpro-
voked, and of the two men, the victim of
the affair seems TO have born the better
character.

trust establishment in the west, the great
Chicago distll leries owned by Shufeldt &
Co. and the Calumet Distilling company.
The Shufeldt distillery is the one that was
partly burned yesterday, and for the at
tempted blowing up of which, by dynamite,
some weeks ago, George j. Gibson, secre-
tary OF the Whisky trust, is now under in
dlctment. 1t is thought by many that
the transaction will very materially
affect Gibson's case by removing any vim
dlctive feeling toward him entertained by
Shu1eldt. News Of the purchase was a
surprise, although rumors, which were
denied by the owners of the purchased dis
tilleries, have been persistently in circula-
ton. A number of the largest stockholders
in the trust have been in the city during
the progress of the negotiations which, with
great secrecy, have been carried on in
President Greenhut's rooms. The sales OF
both plants included real estste,
machinery, patents, etc. In connec
ton with the purchase the Whisky trust
directors disclaim any intention to advance
prices. They absolutely refuse to give tie
purchase price, merely stating that the
purchase was for cash and at figure alike
satisfactory to sellers and purchasers. The
price is, however, known TO be fully COM
mensurate with the gigantic character Of
the properties purchased, probably involv-
ing the transfer of about &, 0O0, 900.
