ERoM BAD TO WORSE.
Ignominfous Failure of the Democratic
 Administration.

Ignomlnfous Failure of the Democratic
 Administration.
 The condition of the treasury has again become so desperate that another bond issue is imminent, and MT Cleve- land will pile up the public debt 10 the extent of fifty or one hundred million dollars in order to obtain funds to meet the current expenses of the gov ernment.
 Even if only the former sum is bor- rowed, we shall see an increase Of the public debt of one hundred million dol lars ip nine months and an additional interest charge of three million dol lars a year will be added to the public burden.
 The financial policy of the Cleveland administration is complete and lgno- minious failure. Where it was ex- pected that Mir. Cleveland would be strongest, there he is found to be most feeble and impotent
 Since he has been in office the at- fairs of the nation have been going from bad to worse. Every promise of improvement has failed; every device ot the administration has proved abor- tive.
 But we have the chief organ of the administration, the ramshackle New York Times, arising to observe that the president is graciously pleased to saddle the debt on the public in order that fui. protection will be afforded the treasury reserve.
 This was the promise that was given to the people last February, when the first bond issue was made, but, like the promise that the repeal of the purehas- ing clause of the sherman act would bring relief; like the promise that the enactment of the democratic tariff bill would cause an abundant stream of revenue to gush into the treasury vaults-the promise of last February, like every promise made by and for this administration, was false and de- captive.
 Instead of the treasury reserve being fully protected by the bond issue of February, it has again been reduced forty millions of dollars, and the treasury to-day is in such desperate condition that the government is once more obliged to go to Wall street and borrow money to pay not cxtraordi- nary but ordinary expenses
 It is announced from Washington that Attorney General Olney finds the duties of his office so irksome and dis agreeable that he proposes to resign and resume the practice of his pro- fession. If Mir. Cleveland and all his cabinet advisers, taking with them Adlai E. Stevenson, should follow Mir. Olney's example when he retires from the cabinet, it would be mighty good thing for the American people.
 But there is no such luck in store for them. They took to Mir. Cleveland with their eyes wide open and they must grin and bear their sufferings to the end. They elected him with clear understanding of his character. He had shown himself to be a narrow, opinionated egotist; obstinate and overbearing; a man who had no prac- tical knowledge of statecraft; who was filled with undigested, foolish and mischievous theories, but because un- der republican rule for thirty years the country had been singularly pros porous, the people came to believe that no party, least of all, no one man, could plunge the nation into danger.
 But less than two years of Cleveland have shown what one man and one party can do with the affairs of na- ton, so great and so powerful as this.
 What a pity it is that Cleveland and the whole pack of these blundering, incapable democrats could not be turned unceremoniously out of office. That this is She general desire is proved by the circumstance that the plurality against the democrats in this years electious was over a million and a half-Albany Journal.
