FINANCES.

The subject which greatly transcends
all others in importance, and requires
your best md most careful attention. is
that of our finances.
do not propose to anticipate the re
ports of the auditor and treasurer further
than Is necessary for general statement
of our condition, bet they will be found
to be of much interest and SO clear and
comprehensive as greatly to simplify
your labors.
The financial condition of the territory.
and most of its divisions, is not good
and it is the part of wisdom to meet the
facts squarely. The decrease in the as
sessed valuation of cattle, caused by a
large diminutlon both in number and
value, has couuterbalanced the increase
in other kinds of property, and prevented
the expected advance in the aggregate of
our assessments. This was S45, 5,462. .459.
in 1887, reached $4G,O410l0 in 1889, had
fallen to S45,329,5G3, in 1891, and is still
less this year. Meanwhile the necessary
territorial expenses have increased i'll
various directions. and tho new territorial
institutions alone add considerable
item. This brief statement of facts shows
why our finances naturally require care
and attention.
But unfortunately the difficulties have
been much increased by the carelessness
of some preceding legislatures in not
providing 4 sufficient revenue with which
to meet the appropriations made by
themselves. This would seem to be
simple matter of computation. but il
must be remembered that the 2Sth legis:
lature had very insufficient data on which
to base its estimates; and the 29th.
though having the experience of two
years as guide, apparently made no at
tempt to arrange the tax levy at all in
proportion to its appropriations.
4 very interesting table prepared by the
territorial treasurer shows that the ap-
preparations for the 40th fiscal year
amounted to S260,515, and these were to
be met by the sale of 100000 of bonds,
which produced S20l,26s, Here, then,
was a deficiency of over $4,000. The
calculation for the 4lst year was much
better, the appropriation being S253,515.
and the result of the tax levy $246,797;
the deficiency being about $1,000. Then
came the extraordinary financial legisla-
tion of the last session, showing appro-
priations of 1852 1862, with tax levy so
insufficient that it only produced S238, ,46S;
producing deficiency of about S114,OOO.
The estimate for the 43d fiscal year is that
there will be receipts of S244,00O to meet
appropriations of S30l,000. To carry on
the government under these adverse CON
ditions, the treasurer paid into each fund

1t was shown that the oil company had
not acted up to its verbal agreement
with the association made last week,
whereby it pledged itself not TO sell 70

the Standard Oil company came in Tor a
good share Of hard words. After some
two hours or more OF discus

the effect that as the Standard
Oil company had not abided By its verbal
agreement of March last. the grOcers'

given 70 those oil companies which Will

smseiyes to work for that end In the
future. A ST. Paul representative Of

meeting, but did not join in the debate.

WASHINGTON, April 25.-The vice
president not having returned TO the

by Mr.. Henderson, its president pro
TEN. Mr.. Coke gave notice that he
would address the senate very brlhy
tomorrow on MIR. MOrgan's silver reso-
luton. The Chinese exclusion bill was
then taken up. and the presiding officer
put the question on the adoption of tine
substitute reported by the committee OIL
: foreign relations. Mr. Sherman gave
the only affirmative vote, and, there be-
/ ing no vote in the negative, the presid-
ing officer declared the substitute
adopted. Immediately afterwards. how
ever, Mr.. Mitchell (who had the floor to
speak against the substitute) came into
the chamber.
Mr.. Butler said he understood that
the substitute had been adopted, and
the presiding officer admitted that lie
had SO decided. but said he would put
the question again. is the senate
ready for the question?' he asked.

however, of proceeding with his own
argument against the substitute, he
yielded the floor to Mr.. Squire. who
argued in favor OF the house bill. or
some other vigorous measure to enforce
the exclusion of the Chinese.
Mr.. Mitchell said that he felt impelIed
by sense of duty to vote against the
substitute reported by that committee,
and in favor of the principle OF abso-
lutte Chinese exclusion as expressed in
the house bill.
The discussion was continued until
o'clock. when the vote was taken on the
substitute reported from the committee
on foreign relations for the house bill.
and the substitute was agreed to-yeas

After discussion and rejection Of sew

self With a HatChet.
A somewhat curious attempt at sui
eide occurred Sunday afternoon on the
East side James Rice, a wealthy prop
erty owner and retired miller living at
433 Second street northeast, has been
very respondent of late owing to the
death of beloved friend. He brooded
over his loss and Sunday was particu-
larly Respondent. During the afternoon
he secured a Ratchet and before any
member of the family could prevent it,
began chopping away at his neck and
head. When the Ratchet was taken
away from him, he uttered a cry of
anguish, and fell To the floor overcome
by the loss of blood from his wounds.
DIR. Charles Simpson, the family phys
ician, was called and dressed the old
mans hurts as best he could. There
was a deep cash in the head and sew
eral bruises about the temple. Blood
flowed freely from wound in the neck,
which, however, proved slight. 1t
seems that the old man had also at
tempted TO sever the arteries III the
wrist OF his right hand, for there was
a deep cut running clear across and very
deep Though it bled profusely, the
arteries were not severed.
He is at present in precarious con-
dition, and the severe shock to his
nerves, as we'll as his wounds, may
prove fatal to him. He owns a pleasant
home on Second street, and has wife
and several children.

DEFENDING THE CHINAMEN.
Presbyterian Ministers Strongly
Opposed to the Exclusion Bill.

Opposed to the Exclusion Bill.
The Presbyterian ministers held the
only ministers meeting worthy of men
ton yesterday. Rev. Joseph A. Lanman
read paper on the Chinese exclusion
bill now before the national congress.
He tore the bill into shreds. He claimed
that it was contrary to the letter and
spirit of the constitution in that
it denies to the Chinese the
rights which it declares to be
the inalienable possessions OF man.
In his paper the esSaylst gives the his
tory of anti-Chinesa laws since the Bur
ingame treaty of 1853 which "recog
niZed the right of man to change his
home" First there was bill to pro-
hibit criminals to land, and later dis
eased Chinese. A later bill regulated
the immigration OF Chinese laborers.
The Geary bill, which passed the house
few days ago, prohibited the landing
of any Cinnamon in the United States
except the imperial diplomatic repre-
sentatives, their families or attendants.
1t subjects such as land to imprison-
ment and denies their recourse to bail.
The bill excludes such people as stu
dents, noblemen, merchants and tour
lists.
"Hitherto,' continued the essayist,
"anti Chinese laws have been preceded
by treaty negotiations. Now, without
even diplomatic warning. the United
States abolishes summarily the treaties
which China was persuaded to enter
Into"
The speaker further objected to the
bill because it will hamper the work of
the missionaries to China by causing
the Chinese to become still more un-
friendly to tile Americans.

old son of Mrs NJ. BoaX, living at 1913
