They Lied Again.

Secretary Foster of the United States
treasury seems to take special delight
in knocking the sand out from under
the heels of our Democratic mathema-
ticians just as they believe they have
successfully launched a statement prov
ing the treasury of the United States
bankrupt.
A few days since they sent para
graph to the press stating that there
was less than 100000 in the national
treasury available for business. and
drawing some exceedingly doleful and
''teohing" conclusions affecting the in
tegrity OF the wicked Republicans,
whereupon the wide-awake Secretary
says the figures never came from an
official of the treasury, because it is un-
true. He then proceeds to inform the
public that "after paying S17 100000 of
4f-per-cent bonds the treasury has in its
vaults $91 900, 900 in excess of the $780,
100000 gold reserve, against which sum
there are contingent liabilities of about
SAG, 900, 900"
The SOL 900, 900 in excess of the gold
reserve referred to by the Secretary is
made up as follows; Contingent liabil-
tiles per cent fund for national bank
redemption, s5, 900 checks and
drafts outstanding, So, 2S4, 900; disburs-
ing officers balances, $31, lie, 900; agen-
cy accounts, So, 76s, 900. Total, $46, ,6O9,-
600. Net balance, composed of frac-
tional currency, deposits in national
banks, ETC., s44, 2O7,O 900. Total, $780,

The unveiling and dedication of the
monument to General Grant at Chicago
last Wednesday was an event of more
than ordinary interest. Old memories
were revived, the resurrection of which
renewed patriotic sentiment, and gal
liant deeds were recalled, the recollec-
tion of which stirred local and national
pride. Public monuments to great men
are public educators and the reminders
-of events that in our rapid age are all
too soon forgotten. Men have lived
whose characters and deeds we cannot
afford to forget, and General Grant was
preeminently such a man. And, too, it
was fitting that this, the first important
monument to his memory, should have
been erected in the state which gave
adoption TO the llustrious leader of vic
torious armies. Let other cities and
other states do likewise and they will
do well.

Charles s. Parnell, the great Irish
leader, died at Walsingham Terrace,
Brighton, England, at 11;3O o'clock last
Wednesday night, after an illness of
but four days. The news of his death
created the most intense excitement
throughout England and Ireland, and
the friends and adherents of the great
leader are fairly benumbed by the
event and know not where to look for
man to successfully lead them in the
battle for home rule. Ireland waited
long for the advent of Parnell, and it is
feared she will wait long for his sue
cessor He found the cause of home
rule theory; he left it a strong proba-
bility, and if his death shall remove the
obstacle to some new leader coming
forward to take up and carry on to its
conclusion the grand work he began,
then Parnell died none too soon.

"Whom the gods wish to destroy they
first make mad" and Gov. Campbell
has got so mad at lot of newspapers
that he threatens to sue them for libel
for publishing the stories that were fly
ing around the country anent his finan-
cial difficulties. Now, dozen or more
good-sized libel suits would add zest to
the Ohio campaign, but we fear the
governor would find that kind of cam
paign thunder heavily charged with
lightning of the boomerang species.

action and goes into politics at once.
At the state meeting last week at Lam
sing, the Ocala platform was favorably
reported from the committee on resolu-
tions and passed the convention with
enthusiasm and without dissenting
vote. The following resolution was in
troduced by the committee and adopted
with hurrah
ResOlCed, That we, the Farmers ALI
ance and Industrial Union of the state
of Michigan, heartily endorse the Ocala
platform, and further declare to the op-
pressed tOilers of America that we are
unyieldingly in favor of independent
political action, as outlined at the Gin.
cinnati conferences; and be it further
resolved, that we view with pleasure
the spirit of fraternal brotherhood that
pervades the delegates present and that
we hail with JOY the alliance spirit
everywhere manifest to Oblterate old
animosities SO long engendered be-
tween the different sections Of our be-
loved country.
1t will now be in order for all disap-
pointed office-seekers, of whatever po-
litical party, all sore-heads and disaf-
fected wouldbe leaders, to flock to the
standard of the new party and seek to
convince the mud-sills that their only
aim is the eternal welfare of the labor

The New York Times undoubtedly
speaks by the card when it says that
before the fight for the speakership is
really "on" at the capital the contest
will be narrowed down to one between
Roger Q. Mills, of Texas, and Charles
+. Crisp, of Georgia. In other words,
the Northern Democrats will be the
same subservient tools in the hands of
their Southern masters as of old.

The official report of the two physi.
clans who had charge of the latest cleo
trical executions in New York states
that in all three cases unconsciousness
was instantaneous from the first mo.
ment of contact, and the facts set forth
by them show conclusively that scien-
tiiic experts have unquestionably taken
the place of the hangman in New York
for good and all. The only thing that
now needs to be eliminated from the
electrocution law is the absurd provis.
ion concerning newspapers. That is
undoubtedly destined to be wiped out
as soon as the lawmakers get a chance
to do so, if the courts do not do it be-
fore that time.

One of the distinctively protective
clauses of the Mckinley law is that in
creasing the duties on silk pushes. AS
to the effect of this duty upon domestic
industry, the Burt & Hurlbut Company,
of Detroit, furnishes some valuable tes-
timony. This company has just reeeiv-
ed notice of reduction in the price of
24-inch plush, amounting to 25 per cent.
Four years ago the price of this grade
of plush was $1.60 per yard; one year
ago the price was $l.20 per yard; now,
after the passage of the Mckinley law,
the price has gone down to 80 cents per
yard. The reason for this decline in
price is found in the statement of Mr..
Burt that there are now half dozen
new establishments engaged in the
manufacture of pushes. These new
factories have been brought into exist
ence through the protection afforded
by the McKidley law, and they are now
making pushes which they can sell at
a cheaper price than the same goods
could have been imported at before the
increase in duty. Thus a new industry
has been brought into existence by the
new tariff without increasing the price
of the product to the consumer. On
the contrary, the price has been re-
duced. That is the way the tariff has
operated in the case of scores of other
articles. Such facts as these are of the
kind that convince practical men of the
value of protection Detroit Tribune.
