Government receipts continue to
fall below the expectations of
Treasury officials, and it is now CON
sidered that the actual deficit at the
close of the present fiscal year will
greatly exceed the estimate Of
Secretary Carlisle made several
months ago, which it will be re-
membered was $28,000,090. That
Congress will have to do something
very soon to provide the money to
meet the expenses Of the government
is apparent, but neither Senators nor
Representatives seem to have very
clear idea of what that something
shall be. Senator Voorhees,, who az
chairman Of the Senate committee Oh
Finance will have much to do with
deciding, thinks that the proper
thing is to give the Secretary Of the
Treasury authority to issue short
time low interest bonds whenever the
money is needed. Mr.. Voorhees, says
this would not be comforting any new
power on the Secretary of the
Treasury; it would be merely chang
ing the act for the resumption OF
specie payments which gives him
authority to issue long term bonds at
rate of interest that would now be
considered very high.

THE EDITORIAL CONVENTION.

On Thursday and Friday, February
18th, and 18th, the winter meeting Of
the State Editors will be held in
Minneapolis. This is always an i'm
portant aud profitable event to those
who take the trouble to attend it, but
the coming one bids fair to outrival
all it's predecessors. It is in contem-
plation to form some kind of a
business bureau for the protection of
country publishers against the
schemes of dead beat advertisers,
such as the Queen City Plating Co.,
of East st. Louis, The Ohio Chemical
Co., the Hewett & Hosier Advertising
Co., of New York, and countless other
swindlers of that ilk. 1t is important
that every publisher in the state
should be there to assist with counsel
and cooperation. Don't fear i'll
treatment, Minneapolis never does
things by halves, the Minneapolis
men are out weeks ago making
preparations for their country cousins
The convention will be both pleasant
and profitable.
