According TO official statistics. the

close Of President Clevela,d's first ad-
ministration, showed decrease of the
public debt of $4,000 during the month.

The statement for the past month.
Just four years after Mr.. Harrisoa's
administration shows an increase iu the
public debt OF more than $4,000 a cash
balance less than $24500O. including
fractional coin and deposits in national
banks and gold reserve of only about

A comparison Of these two statements

Democratic administration of Grover
Cleveland and the Republican administra-

A Counterfeiter, who shot = United States

About $3.50 o'clock yeterday afternoon
n man, who said his name was John A.

Police Poe and told Sergeant Washing
ton. the clerk of the Office, who was the
only one present at the time, that ne
was n fugitive from Justice and wished
10 give himself up TO the Richmond
authorities. Johnson told Mr. Washing
ton that he had shot deputy United
States Marshal in Raleigh, y. c.. about
five weeks ago. and was tired OF lodging
justice.
Mr.. Washington at once committed
Johnson 10 the Second pOlice-station and
wired the chief Of police Of Raleigh 10

an hour he received the following tele-
gram:

defend himself from his assailants he
pulled = revolver and shot one OF them.
He then made good his escape and went
10 Charleston. 5. c., where he saw In
paper that ne had shot a Deputy United
States Marshal named John Upchurch.
Johnson admits the charge or trying
10 pass counterfeit money. He says he
attempted TO palm of counterfeit dol
lar on a man, who however. told him
the money was worthless and returned
the same to him. He then threw II
away. This. he says. is the only time
he ever attempted to pass counterfeit
coin

he has suffered death over and over again

eovEHNon r1LLMAN,s LAST ACT.

We have never entertained a high opin-
ion Of Governor Tliman. OF South Caro-
lima. a man who goes before the people
seeking office by auayius in classes his
fellow Democrats and exciting by in
cendiary appeals 20 social distinctions
agimosities between citizens who had
dwelt together in unity may be a good
man. but in such a course OF action he
deliberately puts forward all that his
worst enemy ought TO say to prove him
n very bad man.
But the worst opinion we were ever
disposed 10 entertain Of Tillman is more
than justified by his act in designating
Solicitor Jervey. of Columbia. 10 prosecute
the Denmark lynchers. Mr.. Jevey. at a
public meeting ut Columbia, had de
nounced the lynchers very emphatically
and had said that If he were the prosecut-
Ing officer at Denmark he would argue
that Iillmen was an accessory before the
fact. The prosecuting officer at Denmark
writes the Governor that so many OF his
relatives are implicated IN the lynching
he thinks the Governor should designate
some other solicitor TO prosecute them.

md rnlnan has directed Jervey to go

and rilIrnan has directed Jervey to go
there and do IL.
This action Of the Governor seems In
splred not by that desire 10 see the laws
Numerically enforced. and TO have the
State represented IN the prosecution OF
her citizens by a man uncommitted by
ayowed opinions. which should occupy
a Governors breast, but BY purpose to
get even" with Jervey. Tiilman knows
perfectly well that Jervey's denunciation
OF the affair has aroused against him
all that part OF the population that took
part I'm or sympathized with the lynch
ing. and has made him the last officer
IN the state 10 De called on 10 prosecute
for the crime. II he should 90 TO Den
mark the population would work upon 1t
az an act Of bravado, and Jervey himself
would be as much on trial as the lynch
ers.
Tnlman's act can. therefore, be put
down to nothing but a purpose 10 pre-
iudlce the prosecution and embarrass
Jervey. Mr.. Jeryey IS placed in very
trying position. but it IS to be hoped he
has enough dignity and repose Of char
acter to refuse 10 perform the service TO
which he is designated.

The revolution IN the Sandwich Islands
is declared now to be a fixed fact. and
there is no hope OF a restoration Of the
monarchy. 1t is now left with the re-
public TO decide whether there shall be
annexation with the United States or not.
The leaders Of the Government now recog-
niEe that II the islands become part OF
the territory OF the United States, they
must be governed according to their laws
and constitution, and the questions of

both be settled. This will. in all likeli-

Ever since this silver question came
before the public for discussion The

be but one standard, and that STANDARD
must be gold If the supply Of gold is
too small to meet the monetary demands

it so. And this word worth means its
intrinsic bullion value on the public

The serious question is 10 adjust this
ratio between gold and silver so as TO
keep both in circulation. We have al
