1t Comes Pretty High.

The official figures Of the bureau Of
statistics demonstrate that the tariff
thinkers in the senate have brought
about a condition Of affairs IN bush
ness that Is costing the government,
In It's revenues, a loss Of million
dollars a day.
An extraordinary increase in the
public debt is reported for the month
Of May, aggregating $G.603, 600. the
largest increase In many years. II is
said that the deficit in the treasury ut
the close of this fiscal year, June 30,
will probably reach the enormous
sum of $50, 900, 600.
The gold reserve, which was never
permitted under Republican admin
istration to fall below the 500, 0OO,-
600 mark, is being steadily depleted,
aud Is now down TO SIS, 200, 900, the
lowest on record, with one exception,
and that the recent one, which led TO
an issue Of $4,000, 900 bonds by
Secretary Carlisle.

"object lesson" with n Democratic

comes high but the country thought It

A scandalons Administrntion.

Senator Taylor, OF Wyandottc, who
is one of the best informed and most
Intelligent men in the Populist party
and a man Of good judgment, Is u
strong opponent Of the Lewelling adj
ministration. In his speech before
the Populist county convention at
Kansas City, Kas., he said:
when | see the prohibitory law
rented out by the mouth to be violated
as it is in this city, all with the
governors conniyanco and apparent
consent, then ] am convinced that so
valuable concession was not handed
down for charity or for love.
"During the campaign two years
ag0a prominent politician told me
negotiations were on foot with the
gamblers Of this city which would
elect the Populist ticket. dismissed
the story then M an idle tale, but
recent events have caused me to
reverse that conclusion. And II any
Of you are under the impression that
there was no deal on then, ask you
to account for the phenomenal growth
Of the lottery business In this town
since Lewelling became governor.
"The Peoples party in Kansas
must prepare for reform within itself
or defeat Il can't be tided over by
sharp practices or unworthy partner
ships. The smart thing in politics Is
the right thing. The tie that binds
n party which Is to endure must be
something more than an ofllce-grab-
bling conspiracy. A party which does
not commend itself to the public
conscience by its official practices
need not hope for length Of days.
But II the Peoples party will once
bring up its public performances to a
level with the honest hearts Of its
rank and file, hearts quivering with
sympathy for the unfortunate, and
with loyalty to American institutions,
then and then only, will its future be
secure"
And yet with these facts before
them (for they are facts the Dickin-
county Populists endorsed Lewelling's
AZ the "most moral

WAR AT RIPPLE CCREEk.
DEPUTIES Advancing on the Town and

IDENTITIES Advancing on tho Town and a
Battle Imminent.
CRIPPLE CREEK, Col, June 0.-The
outlook for peace was not so good last
night. The strikers are dissatisfied be-
cause the agreement binds only 1Iaher-
man and Moffat, besides which the
deputies made threatenint move. A
company of sixty deputies marched TO
Midland and took possession and later
were reinforced by large body Last
night telegram was received stating
that sheriff Bowers would move the
deputies toward Bun hill. The strikers
look upon the movement of deputies as
an indication tho agreement will not
be adhered to and they are greatly an
gcrcd in consequence.
Immediately upon receipt of informa-
ton that the deputies had advanced to
Midland oouriers were sent in every
direction and in short time all the
strikers were again under arms. A
body of four companies Immediately
began the march in "a heavy snowstorm
10 Midland to meet the deputies. About
500 remained at BUN hill TO meet the
expected main attack, while other par
ties went to Victor and other points.

Lawrence journal: Should a far
mer come out Of his house at mid
night and find thief emerging from
the stable with his best horse, the
first thing he would do would be to
pick up his old shot gun and bring
down the thief. And instead Of be-
ing tried aud imprisoned for It, his
neighbors would vote him a medal.
When men undertake to steal trains.
the owners of those trains, or those
In charge OF them, ought to shoot
down the thieves just as the farmer
would. The only difference there Is
between the two cases is that the
train Is more valuable than the horse.
