by the policy he outlines in his inaugural

THE TREASURY EMPTY.

Secretary Fosters report on the
condition Of the Treasury, made in
answer to the questions of the Ways
and Means Committee, hardly fulfls
the expectations entertained respect
ing it. 1t was expected to be an in
genious piece of falsficatlon. 1t is a
very clumsy one instead, as will ap-
pear upon analysis.
In his first table, purporting to show
receipts and expenditures for the first
six months Of the fiscal year, he fig
ures ont 'net cash" balance of
$l29,092, $500 in the Treasury on
December 3lst, 1892, including the
gold reserve, which is not rart of
the net cash balance at all, but trust
fund completely covered by a liability.
Deducting it, the statement shows a
balance in the Treasury of $29,093,-
$500.
This is in exact accordance with
the showing made in the December
debt statement, but it is not in accor-
dance with the facts, as Mr.. Fosters
own tables reveal.
In another table he shows that the
Government is under contract liabili-
ties" amounting to $65,473, 93365, or
$36, 3S1 ,345,45 more than the total So
called "net cash balance" exclusive of
the gold reserve.
OF these contract liabilities, accord
ing 10 Mr. Fosters showing $25,259,-
39S.04 must be met during the present
fiscal year, which of itself very nearly
wines out the alleged met cash bal
ance.p Added to all this there are
other expenditures tauthorized by law
but not yet appropriated tor"
amounting to $S2,23l, $1,000.
In the light of these figures fur

Who Will Succeed Lindsay In the
State Senate?

On the 9th instant, it was appear
ant that something was in the air,
Lindsay's followers were active andfull
of life while the friends Of his
opponents were indifferent and to all
appearance had ceased their work.
Shortly afterward Senator McCreary
was seen, grip in hand, making for the
depot to meet the through train to
Washington city, which was followed
by the declaration that he had with
drawn from the Senatorial race. A
meeting of Stone with his friends
resulted in this gentleman deciding
also to withdraw and give an open
field to Judge Lindsay and in few
moments it was announced that he
was also out of the race and that Lind
say would have no opposition. At
once the operators hook was full
of messages from members who were
wiring the glad news to every part of
the State. A protracted contest, we
are glad to say, is obviated. In our
opinion Judge Lindsay possessed those
elements in nature aud education
which fit him for this high and respon-
sible position. This is time when
the Democratic party should have her
best material in national politics, men
who have the ability to present Dem
ocratic principles and to defend them
against the attacks of the most power
full foes. In Lindsay we will be ably
represented. McCreary and Stone
were manly in the contest and have
made friends who will be mindful of
them in the future.
Now that Lindsay is virtually
in, his friends will begin to draw on
him for help in the appointments to be
made under the incoming administra-
ton and in this they will be somewhat
disappointed because the ssy will be
more largely from Congressman and
the only part he will be able to take
will be to recommend. Aspiramts for
McCreary and Stones seats are greatly
disappointed and doubtless some Of
them will be groomed and trained TO
meet the old fighters in open field.
The next question will be to find a
man willing to succeed Senator Lind
say. Will it be hard to do at this
very busy time?

JAMES q. BLAIN DEAD.

The country is called upon to mourn
the loss of another of its great men.
James Gillispie Blaine-one among,
if not the most distinguished citizen
of the Republic, died at his home in
Washington, on Friday morning at ii
o'clock. The news was in no wise
unexpected, since it has been known
for some time that he was sick unto
death. A nation stands beside the
bier of its dead and pours out its
sorrow for the loss of one who has so
long been so conspicuously connected
with the conduct of its affairs. The
Plumed Knight to whose bugle call
the most stalwart partisan of his party
loved to answer, is now forgotten in
the public servant, whose labor ended
with folded hands, lies so still and
white. He was abused much in life,
but the rising generation and those
that are to follow, will believe none of
the lies told of him and at his true
worth, will measure the man. He
rose from comparative poverty to
wealth, from obscurity to the highest
distinction, but though in the days of
his strong manhood he could tramplo
all opposition and come out of every
conflict, only to rise another round on
ambitions ladder, his last days were
embittereo by ambitions unrealized,
and disappointments and sorrows
enough to crush even his strong soul
into the dust and break even his
dauntless spirit. For thirty years
james G. Blaine has occupied place
in American politics, and the brilliant
Statesman in all that time, has never
allowed the public eye to lose sight
of him. Whether as Representative,
Speaker of the House, United States
Senator, Secretary of State, or where
he might be, he always had the
attention of the people. He outlived
all those who were so closely identified
with him in his earlier political life,
and though, but sixty-three years of
age when he died, SO much of his life
had been spent in the public service,
that to many he seemed older.
Mr.. Blaine may well be said to be
an unique character in our political
history. He was man of so marked
a personality that there are no others
to justly measure him by. Posterity
will probably write him down a
greater man than any Of those who
were more fortunate in reaching the
goal to which his ambition urged
him. He was true American, who
loved his country and served it as he
thought right.
His funeral was private, in ODE
dience to the wishes of the family,
and took place yesterday morning,
from the Church of the Covenant
(Presbyterian) in Washington.

General Superintendent Gabel of the At =

two children, and Judge c. n. Sterry, gen.

family, have been at the Palace Hotel for
day or two. but will leave for Albuquer-

Mr.. Gabel In speaking of his road lad
this say about ,its relations. present and
prospective. to San Francisco.
"You can say to your readers that if the
present prosperous condition of the road
continues we will at no remote date be
looking for an entrance into this territory
II have noticed with pleasure the feel
ing of the people south of you in regard to
this matter and lave been surprised at the
widespread interest manifested among
them. In every place where we stopped
on the trip north the same question has
been propounded, "Where are you going To
build your line from ?" l have always
spoken encouragingly to such inouirers
because l believe the prospects for such an
extension are very good. The people of
this State have acted very kindly toward
our road, and its entrance into this terri
tory would be a source of no little salts
faction TO the officials"
Mr.. Gabel received telegram last even
ing stating that the road was having some
difficulty in holding its present business
with the motive power at present in use
AS the road has recently purchased twen-
ty-fve new engines of the Baldwin Loco
motive Works in Philadelphia. it will
readily be seen that business along the
line is In an active state.

In fact 5000 a mile is quite sufi-
cient from earnings. The earnings of
the Southern Pacific Company in the San
Joaquin Valley alone are $4,000 per mile.
The Southern Pacific has 700 miles of road
in the San Joaquin Valley. Consequently,
1t has three miles to our one. That is an
other bit of good evidence that the Southern
Pacific could not be in fighting trim 10
compete with US. because we would have a
much more profitable concentrated mile
aye To manage. Naturally we, in The first
place. select a portion of country which
gives promise of yielding the greatest
volume OF the best character of traffic.
The success will be such that in short
time we could have a thousand miles of
road in this State on a similar footing. Local
roads and the maintenance of competition
form the key to The whole transportation
problem of this State. People will be as
tOnished when they look back at what can
be achieved with so little expenditure by
going the right way about it. AS to not
having the money in hand Immediately t
is asked for, you must remember that this
is not a community accustomed to railroad
enterprise, save Rs trade. People have
not ken hold of the matter as a commu-
nifty investing capital for its own welfare.
And the present monetary stringency ac-
counts tor caution ana laggardness at the
moment. But facts will prevail, and the
road will be seen in its true light If benPf fit
for the whole State and be constructed"
