OUR BANKRUPT TREASURY.

Congressman Amerman of Pennsyl-
vania introduced a bill in congress on
Monday providing for the issue OF
United States ten-year bonds to the
amount of S75, 100000. which are to be
sold and the proceeds applied to the
payment of the deficiency in the federal
treasury. 1t is known only that the
United States treasury is bankrupt;
that the surplus of more than S100,000,- :
600 left there by the Cleveland admins
tration has disappeared and in its stead
there is large and constantly increas-
ing deficit. This is the first official rec
ognition of the deplorable situation,
brought upon the country by reckless
extravaganza, and the Mckinley bill
The true condition can no longer be
concealed by crooked bookkeeping or
jugglery of figures In the Office of the
Secretary of the Treasury. 1t seems
remarkable that the President did not
explain this deplorable condition In his
message, and suggest measure
of relief, instead of indulging in a
dreary dissertation on the so-called
Protective tariff and predicting a
bowling calamity, when the Democrats
inaugurate the policy Of economy in
public expenditures. In speaking of
this measure of Congressman Amer
man the Chicago Herald says:
"The first efforts of the Democratic
administration which assumes control
on the 4th of March should be to re-
store order out of chaos in the Treasury;
to arrange the accounts into intelliglble
shape to ascertain the condition of the
funds set apart for standing appropria-
tions and to learn exactly what the de-
llcit is. Whatever the amount may be
whether S10O000,00O OF S300000,0 1000
bonds for the full sum should be is
sued and sold and the deficit made
good at once. And it should be stated
In the body of the act providing for the
issue of such bonds that they are is
sued to cover a deficit created by plum
deriDg and theft in the four years of
Republican administration"

A PENSION CALAMITY tIOWLER.

"a horizontal reduction of pensions
and pensioners is more probable than
any material reduction OF the tariff by
the incoming Democratic administra-
tion."
The above is from VIM, Cappeller's
Foraker organ of Mansfield. The
Democrats will make no horizontal
reduction of either pensions or pen
sioners in any worthy case. The pres
ent system of paying the most pen
slons to those who saw no service, and
the least to those who were disabled in
battle, will probably be changed; aud
a system inaugurated that will pension
all soldiers hberally, in the basis OF
disability or merit. Some who are
now drawing pensions, may get less,
and others may get more, but there is a
dominant patriotic sentiment in the
Democratic party that every true SOL
der of the Republic, who was disabled
in the war, shall be amply provided for.
1t will be time enough to criticise the
Democratic policy on pensions, when
some law is passed that is hostile to
soldiers. No such law will ever pass
Congress.

THE SENATORIAL SITUATION IN THE NEW
STATES.

In California the Democrats and five
Populists control the Legislature. If
the Democrats and POpulits combine
on man they can elect Unied States
Senator. But the Republicans are
also in for a combine and most any
kind of deal to secure the Senator.
In Nebraska the Democrats and
Populists have 70 votes and the Repab-
licans 62. The situation in that state is
hopeful for fusion Senator, favorable
to tariff reform and Democratic atlilia-
tions in the Senate.
In Kansas the situation is very much
complicated. The Republicans will
probably organize the House and they
may unseat enough Populist members
to give the Republicans a majority of
he Legislature on joint ballot.
The latest from Montana indicates
that the Democrats will control The
Legislature, Notwithstanding the de-
cision Of the Montana Supreme court.
In Wyoming there is. a prospect OF
two Legislatures with two Senatorial
elections, and contest in the United
States Senate.
No matter how these contests arc
settled the Democrats and Popuiistl
will control the U. s. Senate, whict
convenes on the 4th of March next.

ms DAYS WE'RE NUMBERED.


All men are more or less supersti ious
and Jay Gould was no exception. Two
weeks before his death Mr.. Gould, says
the Boston Advertiser, met a friend on
the cars, to whom he remarked how
well he was feeling. He had eaten two
bowls of bread and milk the night be-
fore and then had gone to bed and slept
twelve hours. His friend asked him
how old he was
"Oh, I'm young man yet" was the
evasive reply.
The friend apologlZed Tor seeming
inquisitive, and added: "Pardon my
inquiry, l. only happened to be thinking
Of an odd thing heard yesterday. Did
you ever hear, Mr.. Gould, that once
every seven years man runs extraor-
dinary risks, and that whenever a man
has birthday divisible by seven he Is
in danger" ,,,
mo, never heard of that, answered
the millionaire, little uneasily. Then
he turned to his newspaper. HIS trlend

PRESIDENT HARRISON SPECIAL PLEAD
ING
From tho Chicago Herald.

President Harrison processes to be
greatly pleased with the results of the
so-called reciprocity" arrangements
under the Mckinley act. Including
Germany and Austro- Hungary among
the countries with which we have such
arrangements, he says the total increase
in the value of our exports to all those
countries have been $20,772.621.
That looks very well taken apart
from all other facts of our foreign com
merce. But the President conveniently
omits to state that the value of our ex-
ports to all countries, during the last
fiscal year was $l43 100000 greater than
the year before. He did not care to
state this fact because the reader would
have seen that while our exports to the
reciprocity" countries increased less
than $2l 100000, our exports to other
countries increased nearly $l23,0 100000
or nearly six times as much as our ex-
ports to the dicker countries. 1t would
not do for the president. as a special
pleader for all McKinleyism, to state
this fact, because it would naturally
suggest that the great increase in ex-
ports was due to some other cause than
alleged reciprocity" Neither would
| it do for him TO state the fact that ex-
ports of brea6stuffs alone increased
$171 100000 last year, or $2S,0O0,0OO
more than the total increase, because
that fact would point to the true cause
abundant harvests in this country
and scarcity elsewhere.

approaching senatorial contests are

and yet they would much better let
the states settle their own affairs.

PROF, ANDREWS, of Brown Univer-
Sity, in his address before the Interna.
tional Monetary Conference, favoriug
the adoption of bi-metallic standard,
said there was no surer way to lower
the American tariff than for Europe
and the United states to agree upon a
policy favorable to silver as money.
That alone, he declared, would abate
the incessant conflict for gold and leave
the United States free to effect q gen.
erous reduction in the customs tariff.

THE Henry Clews financial circular
of December 10th, views the future with
serene confidence, notwithstanding the
unexpected outflow Of gold, the falling

Mr.. Clews says:
"While there is a generally conserva-
tive feeling and a certain degree Of
caution, there is no really discouraging
lack of confidence, and the bears are
circumspect while the bulls show a
steady firmness in holding on"

"That paper played the part OF an

but actually aided Harrison. Inc
Enquirer is simply political stink,pot
with Skylockic tendencies. If 1t had

JAY GOULD did not leave one dollar
of his S100,0C0000 to charities. He di :
vided the bulk Of his fortune into equal
shares for his six children. Happily
there are no entailment laws in this
country to perpetuate the power of
greed, and despite Gould's grasping, he
has left no means of keeping the lega-
cies from finding their way back into
the common treasury of trade. The
millionaires may horde, but the million
heirs squander.

More Ducks ana Game.

The market was pretty well glutted
yesterday with wild ducks and geese.
They came in from every direction
and are fine. Robin Edmondson and
two companions killed twenty-five
geese and fine lot of ducks near the
seven mile ferry last night Jno. r..
Edmondson headed a crowd that
brought in eleven, and David Var
brough was captain of squad that
killed eighteen geese and numbers of
ducks. There were also several
squads in from along Red river and
the Meadow country, all of whom
brought to market about as many
ducks and geese as they could well
manage. A dealer estimated the
number of both kinds sold on the
market yesterday at 300 at the lowest.
Ducks readily sell for twenty-five
cents, while the geese bring double
that amount.
