Wing Republican, Mr.. Hall said: Elect
Grover Cleveland president, fellow citi-
Gems; and give him the support of
Democratic house and democratic
senate, and as result in twelve months
you shall see wheat selling Tor slips a
bushel, you shall be able to buy $500
suit of clothes for $780, AS to the
clothes the prediction was nearer the
truth than anything else we have heard
ct his saying before his election, the
paper goes on to remark, for in less than
a twelve month, "as result, cloth
ing dealer in Minneapolis has been
obliged to offer to sacrifice his stock to
raise cash, and $500 suit might have
been bought for halt price; but "as
result" the workingman had no longer
the $500, nor even $3.50. But the
change" did come.
Government receipts from all sources
continue to be more encouraging during
this month than had been hoped for
and treasury officials are beginning to
believe that the increase of expenditures
over receipts will not be so large this
month as they had been for the two pre-
ceding months of the present fiscal year.
The excess Of expenditures over receipts
during July and August averaged nearly
$5,000,000 each month, but thus far
this month, and it is almost half gone,
the excess has been less than halt a mil.
lion, with indications of keeping down
pretty well during the remainder of the
month. The receipts of the government
thus far for September have been SILL
TT. 900 and the expenditures $12,033,-
900. The receipts for the FIRST two
months OF the fiscal year were $23.S9O,-
Ss5 and the expenditures were $50, $685.

Mrs. Cleveland is convalescing rapidly
and her daughter Esther is reported as

torney fight. Information comes from

The action of the president in confirm
ing the recommendation of Secretary
Smith and Commissioner Lamoreaux
consolidating the Taylor's Falls with
the St. Cloud land office was. a surprise
to nearly all the Minnesota members, as
it was expected that the objection made
would cause the president to take dit
ferent course. The Taylor's Falls dis
trict still has over 100000 acres of un-
occupied government land, and while at
present far from active there is pros
pect of an early change in that quarter
of the state. By this consolidation the
st. Cloud office is made rival of the
Duluth Office. tits now expected that
the changes at st. Cloud, Marshall, Du-
luth and Crookston will be made in a
few days,

Inc comptroller OF the currency has
prepared some rather interesting stats.
tics relative to the suspension OF national
banks during the last nine months. It is
shown that since November last 153
