Devices sto Keep Out 90 trouble.
From the wheeling Intelligencer
WASHINGTON, ID. c., Jan. 16. -
The subcommittee OF the ways and
means committee on the investi-
CATION of the condition Of the treas.
ury expects to receive the latter part
of this week large amount of
information from the treasury ex-
perts showing the receipts and
expenditures. The treasury officials
under the direction of Secretary
Foster and Mr.. McI.ennan. his
right hand man is fiscal matters,
have been at work steadily for three
weeks and their work is expected to
throw great deal of light on the
state Of tho governments finances
and the problem which SIR. Cleve-
lands administration Will havo to
meet IN the next two years. 1t can
be said on good authority that the
treasury statement will not show q
deficit IN the treasury, or the proba.
bility of one during the present
fiscal year. but close ANALYSIS Of it
is expected to show that Secretary
Foster at times had IA hard task
making both ends meet, ard that
his successor will be likely, unless
relieved by legislation at this session
raising additional revenues, to have
even harder task, with pensions
steadily increasing.
Secretary Foster has informed
members Of Congress that there will
be an available balance in the treas
ury July 1st Of $40, 900, 900. This
balance, however, includes nothing
for the sinking fund, of which the
annual requirements are s48. .OOO,-
600. Democratic members Of Con.
gress expect TO show that there have
been times when a deficiency was
only prevented by policy Of not
paying anything to day the payment
OF which could be put of till to.
morrow.
Not single new public building
has been provided for during this
Congress, but thorc still remains
over $14, 100000 to be expended on
account of public buildings and
s1l 900, 900 against which there are
no outstanding contracts. There
are other matters also in which the
government revenue made it neces-
sary for the treasury to Z" go slow"
for fear that for the FIRST time in
many years the balance would be
on the wrong side OF the ledger.
Added to this state Of affairs IS the
heavy increase for pension pay.
ments, whlch next year Will be
many millions greater, and unless
the grant Of new pensions is dimin-
Ished, more than onough to wipe
out the 500, 900, 900 of expected
surplus July /.
These things are giving the party
about TO como into power consider
able concern, and in order that the
new administration may go along
smoothly it is considered highly
desirable that the treasury should
have a good working balance-say
$50, 900, 600 more.
Secretary Foster will probably be
examined on this point, and on the
best means Of raising the money.

Pat Lannon on the situation

P. Fl. Lannon, one of the proprie-
tors of the Salt Lake Tribune and Com
missioner from Utah to the Chicago
Exposition, is in San Francisco, and
in an interview with Chronicle re-
porter, has the following to say about
Utah and Nevada affairs:
He was receiving congratulations
yesterday on the way the silver Sena-
tors had sat out the repealers in the
Senate. 'That will make the boys
chuckle at home" said he. "Repeal
is dead. The East must consent to a
satisfactory compromise or we will
keep the Sherman law. The East is
ungrateful. The West voted for the
Mckinley bill and now the Eastern
protectionists declare that they are
willing to see the tariff off lead and
wool. Our three industries are silver,
lead and wool. They are selfshly
willing to cripple all three if they can
retain the tariff on what they manu-
facture.
at seems to me that the American
Government ought to do all it can to
foster the silver industry. If the sill
yer mines of the Rocky-mountain re-
gion were in Cornwall do you suppose
England would be for monometallism?
England would take good care that
her silver interests should be protect
ed and would see that the nations of
the world adopted bimetallism.
Mr.. Lannon is very proud of the
way in which Salt Lake weathered the
financial storm without closing bank,
making record equaled only by one
town approaching it in size, Bingham
ton, n. Y.
In speaking of the admission of
Utah as State, Mr.. Lannon said !:
"Utah is not ready for admission, but
the Democratic party is on the side Of
the Mormons, and is determined that
Utah shall be State. / do not favor
admission, but if it must come then
l say let Utah be annexed to Nevada.
That would be best compromise. 1t
would make Nevada the second largest
State in the Union. 1t would give a
population of over 800, 900, or about
equal to that of Oregon or Washing
ton, and not far behind Colorado, any
of which States it would equal in
resources. The $4,000 Gentiles of
Nevada would help to Offset the Nor
mon population of Utah, and would
prevent the legalizing of polygamy."

Mr.. Cleveland's autocratic seclusion

Mr.. Cleveland's autocratic seclusion
borders upon that of an imperial
court. He has not only suspended
the tri-weekly reception to the public,
which have been feature of the life
at the White Honse for a century.
but he now refuses to receive mem
bers of either branch of Congress
until they have submitted their bust
ness to Private Secretary Thurber.
This edict has caused a great deal of
offense. There are many Democratic
Senators and Representatives who
publicly declare that they will never,
no never, call at the White House
until this edict is evoked.

Sage and Silver seem inseparable
With Nevada, and while the home of
the first extends westward from the
Rockies all over this intermountane
region it is more intimately interwov-
en- with the history of the Silver State
than any other locality. By right of
first location Nevada claims it as its
own, and in this child of the desert,
takes pride in the fact that instead of
it being sign of sterility the modest
shrub indicates fertility of soil where
ever it grows. The land that bears
sage is destined to be land of plenty,
and year after year its value is en-
HANGING. The stranger fails to see in
it either beauty or value, but to its
foster-parent it has both, and also a
charm that increases with years, and
with fascination that fingers in the
memory after long absence. It's aroma
is celebrating with spicy fragrance,
and cling to the recollection like ga
beautiful picture that hangs on MEM
ory's WALL"
Stay as long as one will away from
it, absence does not dim its beauty
nor dispel the fascination that clings
to its rugged and vigorous life. Like
the star-eyed sorceress of the Nile,
cage cannot whittier nor custom stale
its infinite variety" 1t welcomed the
pioneer to land unknown and con-
sidered desolate, and it greets the re-
turning prodigal with the generosity
of an old friend. There is a homely
pathos about the lowly shrub that
breathes content like a benediction
and soothes the sense to repose Like
the phantasm of pleasant dream,
fancy recalls the pungent fragrance
of the desert campfire, and the restful
sleep of the prospector after watching
and musing over it's dying embers.
Fond memories hover over the good
times of those distant years, and the
scent of the sage revives the hopes of
youth lost, and soothes the spirit to
peaceful resignation. w. B. Daugh-
erty in "Reno Gazette.
