COMMENTS OF THE PRESS.

Many an able democratic editor
is beginning to feel sorry already that
he elected President Cleveland
cago Tribune.
Democrats who visit Washington
should don dress coat, silk hat and
buttonhole bouquet, and see the
white house doors swing open.-Chicago

sENow that Cleveland and Carlisle
have thoroughly demoralized the ma
tion's finances, it might be well for
them to turn their attention to the
tariff.-Albany Journal
rThere is to be a clean sweep Of
the republican officials, it seems, only
Mr.. Cleveland's civil service reform pre-
tensions will not permit the use Of 50
brutal term m-Cleveland Leader.
B-The present administration has
signalized itself so far by hauling down
the American flag at Honolulu and
turning the hose on the ofice-seekers

rYThe democratic party shows its
friendship for the farmers by the sum-
mary dismissal from the agricultural
department of Mortimer Whitehead,
the lecturer of the National Grange.
Actions speak louder than words -
Toledo Blade.
Wayne MacVeagh comes outin hot
indignation against the presidents vio-
lation of the principles Of civil service
reform. He didn't get that foreign
mission his soul coveted. Mugwumps
are all right at the polls, but when it
comes to passing out the pie, they are
not in it, Wayne.-Toledo Blade.
ENF For the future, as in the past, the
republican party must stand for the
protection of American industry, the
protection of American currency, the
protection of American freedom and
the protection of American honor and

ileges to special classes must be the re-

ADvICEs received at the state and

that 10 sealing vessels had left Vic

UNDER DEMOCRATIC RULE.

Administration.

Administration.
The month of April last was demo-
cratic month; the democratic admins
tration had got into full swing. We
state this merely rs fact which every
body recognizes, and which said every
body can apply in a.manner to suit him
self to the other facts we are going to
state. Now those facts are:
|. The expenditures for the month
exceeded the receipts BY s4.S23,51s.
?. The deficit is 81, 735, ITO larger than
that reported for April, 1892.
8. This loss is entirely attributable to
increase of expenditures, the actual re-
ceipts having been 81, 444, 143 more than
in the corresponding month last year.
T. The growth Of revenue is derived
solely from the gain in customs, as
there is slight decrease in the returns
from other sources of income
5. The increase of expenditure is not
in the item of pensions but of interest;
the interest payments for last month
being s5,095, ,S63, against 81, 765, $50 in
April, 1892 The increase of pension
payments for the month was only $780,
726, while there was decrease of S317,-
GA in the ordinary expenditures. But
the increase of So, ,330 202 in the interest
item carries the total of the expendi-
lures for the month SO, 179, 254 beyond
the figures for April, 1892.
| 6. For the ten months of the present
fiscal year, ended with April the re-
ceipts were SIS, S79,3 greater than for
the corresponding months Of the pre-
ceding year, but this gain was more
than offset by an increase of $50, O31, $50
in expenditure. The excess Of income
of s7,62l, ,2l0 for the ten months Of the
preceding year was thus turned into a
deficiency of 81, 53l ,325 during the last
ten months, making the treasury S10,-
152, ,535 poorer than it was year ago.
Now put these facts together and
then take in some other facts. First,
the million nand-a-quarter congress"
whose work covered both of these years.
had an overwhelming democratic ma
jority in the house. Second, the col
lections were made by a republican adj
ministration until two months ago.
Third, it is shown by the record that
the internal revenue collections made
during Mr.. Cleveland's first term were
$50, 200, 900 less than during Mr. Arthur's
term and about $500, 900 less than
during Mr.. Harrison's term. Here we
have two facts to account for the de-
ficiency; first, carelcsSness and ineffi-
cheney in the collection of revenues by
a democratic administration, and, sec
ond, enormous increase of expenditures
by democratic congress. The falling
off Of receipts from internal revenue in
the first full month Of the present ad
ministration is likely to be regarded as
a startling fact. 1t indicates that the
same old carelessness and favoritism
which cost the country probably $780,
900. 600 to 5000, 900, 600 in Mr. Cleveland's
first term are getting in their work
again.-Troy Times.

THE YELLOW METAL.
The Heavy Outflow of Gold from tho
United States to Europe Since January
1-Sixty Millions Gone and Still Going.

The Heavy Outflow of Gold from tko
United States to Europe Since January
Sixty Millions Gone and Still Going.
WASHINGTON, May 30.-Since Janu-
ary SOC, 900, 900 in gold have been ex-
ported to Europe. and the export
movement. instead of having abated,
seems to have received a fresh inn
petus. Most Of this gold was taken from
the Uuited States treasury, and prac-
tically all that is now being exported
comes from the same source. In that
time the treasury department has sus-
tanned net loss of $25, 354. 143, the net
total gold in the treasury on January
1, 1898, having been s121. .266, ,662, while
to-day it is only s95,9t2,419. The gold
holdings within the five months Of
this year have at times fluctu-
ated, but since the 1st of
May the gold has been nearly
always below the limit of the so-called
gold reserve of 500, 900, 900. AS soon
as the reserve was built up large
shipment abroad would pull it down
and when from natural causes or from
unusual exertions on the part of the
administration to keep it intact it
grew again, another onslaught would
decrease it. 1t is daily invaded to the
extent of more than S4 900, 900, and ad
vices received show that for the gold
engaged for shipment on to-day and
tomorrow SO, 200, 900, the total net gold
remaining in the treasury will be about
s93, 900, 600, the lowest figure reached
since the resumption of specie pay
ments.
In addition to this large engage
ment there are reports current here
from sources usually well founded that
more gold will go out on next Satur-
day, sufficient, it is said, to reduce the
gold holdings to s90,0o0,0O
Despite these heavy shipments, the
treasury officials express the greatest
confidence in the ability of the treas
ury to restore the gold balance.
They point to the fact that there is
gradual and healthy inflow of
gold from natural causes to the treas
ury, which is only temporarily checked
by the large amounts taken for export.
Had such not been the case the export
of sec, ,O00, 900 since the first of the year
would have left the net total gold
in the the treasury at s6o,0oo, 900, in
stead of as it is stated to-day. 95,912,-
419. A cessation of gold exports in
large amounts is looked for by July l,
as it is understood that the Austrian
demand is well nigh supplied.
A peculiar feature in the decrease OF
gold is that a corresponding increase is
shown in the net treasury balance.
That balance is to-day SIS, 300, 900, or
nearly million dollars greater than
it was on March 5, when Secretary Car
Isle took official charge of this money.
Of this amount s11. $40, 900 is in subsid-
iary coin. and 81, ,65O,OO0 in national
bank repositories. Both of these items
are slightly in excess OF what they
were on March Z.
