by Cuban who was constant visit

boulevards-th wager being for ZOO
francs--that the head carver would
not cut and make 1000 complete sand

forty minutes, demolishing twenty
two hams in the operation. This huge

the principal hospitals of Paris and
the environs. Such feat would ap-

Too Previous.

From the State Republican.
AS usual, our democratic friends could
not wait for the adjournment of the legisla-
ture-much less for any reliable data-be-
fore opening up their old cry of extravaganza
against the republican party. This was
quite natural, since figures usually ''loor"
democratic arguments and claims, and will
probably do so In this case when the facts
can be reached. At present the republicans
are charged with having exceeded the limit
by some $500, 900. Our democratic friends
may as well understand right now that they
must raise those figures II they would hope
to ''stay in," since here are two items that
will alone knock them out. In 1891 the re-
publicans turned the state treasury over to
the democracy with balance Of over $780,
600. The democrats returned the treasury
in 1893 with only 100000. They had re-
duced the balance so per cent. Then again,
they had $500, 900 of refund from the United
States, and that was all spent. Here are
over 100000 which our friends spent and
neglected to charge to themselves in their
exhibit. That leaves less than 500, 600 for
the republicans to account for, and the
governor has host of bills in his hands yet
unsigned.
Brothers, we warn you to raise those
figures. Don't wait, IL you would save your
story from the deadly grasp Of the arithmeti-
cal chill.
