OUR BAN NKRUPT TREASURY,

Secretary of the Treasury Foster
makes a very poor showing with his
figures on the condition of our depleted
National treasury box. Figuring out
the probable condition of the Treasury
at the end of this fiscal year June 3Oth
next), Mr.. Foster has selected the in
significant amount of 100000 as the
balance that will probably be in the
treasury. And yet this small expected
balance will not be there. In order to
make this showing Secretary Foster
estimates the pension expenditures at
Sl5S,OOO,OOO, which is conceded by the
pension committee of the House too
low by over $20,OOOO0O. Thus it will
be seen, that on Fosters estimates, the
treasury will be bankrupt at the end of
the present fiscal year, with a shortage
of over $1e,000,O00, which will call for
an additional issue of interest bearing
bonds. These are the facts, and the
bare faced lying to deceive the people
as to the condition of the treasury will
no longer avail.

The above shows how little the aver
age Republican editor knows about the
war. Two Of the greatest generals of
the war did not die in January; not one
of the greatest generals died in January.
Neither are Generals Sickles and SlO-
cum the only remaining great COM
manders. Gen. VIM. S. Rosecrans was
greater general than either, and he is
still alive; Gen. o. o. Howard, who
held commands equal to either Sickles

Gen. John M. Palmer of Illinois, who
held commands equal to either Sickles

DEATH OF JAMES G. BLAINE.

James G.. Blaine died in Washington
this morning at 10 q. m. In his death
the Republican party loses its best be-
loved man, and the country its most
conspicuous and ablest statesman, in
private life.
His death fills the land with sorrow
universal. In private life, as husband
and father, in public life as public
servant, In the field of literature as a
writer on current topics, and as
historian, Blaine ranked first
among all Americans living In his gen.
Grafton; and now, that he Is dead, his
place in history is secure, among the
greatest of great civic characters that
our century of history has produced.
AS bipartisan in his earlier days he
was bold and aggressive, and some
times vindictive, but In his later years
he grew larger. as his career gave him
larger opportunities, and among his
staunch admirers were found many of
the ablest leaders in the Democratic
party.
the Republican party has no leader
left on earth to take the place of Blaine,
in the affections of the masses.
With Blaine passes away tie last of
the great Republican leaders of the war
period. They were Roscoe Conkling of
New. Y York, Mat Carpenter of Wiscon-
8 n, Gov. Morton of Indiana, Charles
Sumner and Ben Butler of Massachu-
sets, Thaddeus Stevens of Ptnnsylvan-
ia, and j, A. Garfield of Ohio. 1t is true
that John Sherman and John A. Bing-
ham still survive, but while Sherman
participated in the great debates in the
Senate, during the reconstruction
period, and Brigham was an orator on
the floor of the House, neither can take
rank with the great Republican lead
ers like Blaine, Sumner, Thaddeus
Stevens, and last and greatest, Roscoe
Conkling
