THE GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY.

Dr. Parkhurst said that he heard man from
Chicago talking to an Englishman on the steamship
a few days ago. The Chicago man was telling the
Englishman about this country, and particularly
about the cities OF NewYork and Chicago He told
the Englishman that New-York well enough as
city. but being built on an island 1t did have
chance to grow like Chicago. and being under the
absolute rule OF Tammany. II had public spirit

HE Is HAPPY.
But the State Is Getting Deeper
i'm the Mire Every Day.

So far as any record goes, Governor
Mckinley never expressed himself un-
equivocally but once on any matter
connected with the State Govern
ment.
That was to declare his warm en-
dorsement of the plan of making ad-
vance drafts on the county trea suries
whenever the State Treasury got
empty. This he regarded as an origi-
nal idea in finance, which no one ever
dreamed of previous to the advent of
Mckinley.
And yet this profound system is as
old as the hills. The Bible gives a
notable instance in the case of the
Prodigal Son. During the first year
of his majority the p. S. managed to
just live up to his income, The next
year he was few hundred dollars in
debt.
During the third year he got two
thirds of his fourth years salary on
advance drafts. In the fourth year,
he made advance drafts for all of his
fifth years salary and began to clam
or for the sixth.
Then it was that his venerable father
came to the conclusion that the p. S.
was no great shakes of financier af
ter all, and invited him to take a
walk.
The Mckinley administration has
parallelled the financial career of the
Prodigal Son. At first it borrowed
next years revenues to pay this years
expenditures. Now it is borrowing
next years and the year alters reve-
nues to pay last years expenditures.
Where the money is to be borrowed
to pay this years expenditures heav-
en- may know, but it is far from likely
that Governor Mckinley and the Re-
publican leaders of Ohio, do.
Nor are they caring much. They
will manage to get their own salaries
in some way.
p. S.-There will be no fatted calf
killed when the Republican Prodigal
Son comes home to get square meal.
