paper reader remembers how the Demo.
cratic press took up the charge made by
Congressman Springer and other Demo
cratic members of the House, when Mr..
Fosters report of the condition at the
close of the present fiscal year was sub
mitted to Congress last December. He
was charged with having purposely jug.
gled the figures in that report 80 as to
make it appear that surplus of avail
able cash would remain in the Treasury
at the close of the fiscal year, whereas
Mr.. Springer and other Democratic
know-it.alls were absolutely certain, at
least they said they were, that there
would be a deficit, and that Mr.. Foster
knew it and was trying to hide it. Now
Mr.. Springer aud his associates, as well
as the Democratic editors who rang the
changes on the silly charges for weeks
ought to crawl into holes and pull the
holes in after them, for it is officially
stated by Democratic Treasury officials
that the available surplus on June 30th,
next, the end of the present fiscal year,
will be about 100000, whereas Secre-
tary Foster had estimated last December
that it would be S2,OOO,0OO. Mr.. Foster

and Washington will know him no more

inaugurated. He will stop few days
at the Worlds Fair before again resum-

"Uncle Jerry" carries away with him
the good wishes of everybody with
whom he has come in contact during

something that can be truthfully said of
few members of any Cabinet; but he
deserves all, and more than can he sasd

George Beard, large iron manufacturer
of Glasgow. Said he: "The iron and
steel trade OF England and Scotland is
suffering considerable depression just
now, because of over production. The
