Mr.. G. w. Maxwell, Of Fair River
candidate for county assessor, has
struck upon very practical and effec-
tive way Of demonstrating his capacity
and fitness for the Office he seeks. Mr..
Maxwell, who seems to have special

the township of land in which he lives,
making splendid map OF all sub-di-
yisi0ns. streams, roads, ETC., locating
the owners of each piece Of land, and

The following paragraph, copied from
the Broookhaven Advocate, a Negro
paper edited by p. +. Williams, Esq.
carries its own comment:
All the colored people of Lincoln

a free ballot ON the Both of July, by
voting in the primary. Go 10 the Dem
ocratic primary and vote for Edgar
Green for county superintendent. The
colored people of Lawrence I'VE are in
informedl will vote with the Populists.

A great deal of CONSERVATION has been
caused among the members of the Cath
Ole Benevolent legion in this city and
state because of an announcement that,
according to law recently made by the
supreme council of that organization,
men who are personally engaged in the
retail sale of beer and liquors, such as
hired bartenders and saloon keepers who
tend their own bars, will be ineligible
to membership after the first day of next
July The body thus affected is at pres
ent represented in the United States in

cess of 1000, of which it gained near
ly 8, 400 in 1894 In Pennsylvania and

1.-THE law ON this liquor question,
one of the state officials said yesterday,
"was not made because Of any consider
alton of immortality of the traffic, but
because mortuary statistics showed that
persons engaged in it in the manner
mentioned are bad insurance risks The
high death rate among them is supposed
to be caused by tippling and by the fire.
quency of saloon rows. Other classes OF
men who are deharred from membership
by the same law are miners, electrical
workers who come in direct contact with
dangerous electrical currents, hnemen
and those who attend circular saws

When the repeal Of the Sherman law
was being agitated, all sorts of rosy
predictions as to the good times that
were sure to result were thrown out by
the gold bug press, while the admins
tration vaguely promised to do "some-
thing for silver" The predictions and
the promises were alike falsified by
events. At present the same attempts
to fool the people are being repeated.

received a strong accession in the per-

pi college. He will keep his depart
ment, in point of interest, fully abreast
with those of Profs. Ker, Barrows,

Introductory lecture on Infinitives and
Participates was deeply interesting and
instructive, showing up the perpleM-
ties of the grammarians and throwing
food of light on the many intricate
constructions, as he held aloft the his
torical torch of truth and revealed the
blunders of those who build their
theories ON fancy or on superficial
view of apparent similarities and d.
versities. His discussion of to-, the
usual proposition of the infinitive as
well as that of the various forms IN
ling" was peculiarly striking and klh-
died a live discussion that must stim.

that must lead to the discovery OF val

A BIG DEFICIT.
The Government spend. s43.25 900
More Than 1t Collects.


More Than II Collects.
WASHINGTON, June 3.-The treasury
deficit for the fiscal year just closed
will be found by tomorrow's debt state
ment to be approximately S43,23O,UO
This, added to last years deficit of
nearly 100000, makes the excess OF
expenditures over receipts since June
30, 1893, about sll3,0OO,OOO. The total
receipts of the department this fiscal
year, exclusive Of postal revenues,
amount to nearly s313OOO.0OO, and the
expenditures s3J6.2JO,OOO, of which
pensions took s14l, 391 ,G23.
The internal revenue department of
the government has contributed this
year to the receipts nearly 5143,OOO.OOO,
az against little more than sl47 ,0O0.-
90 last year. The customs this year
makes better showing than last by
about 81 100000. Last year the rs
ceipts from this source amounted to
nearly s132, 10000, and this year they
Appropriated s153,0OO,OOO
Tomorrow's debt statement will show
an available cash balance of about
sly5y yyO,ycO, Of which about S107 10000
is gold reserve. This reserve will in
clude payments in full for the last
bond issue, but the statement will
show counter debt charge of only
81, Isl, 100 in bonds, or half of the
whole amount issued. In explanation
of this seeming error, it is said for
NAL transfer of the London half of the
bonds has not yet been made. The ex-
penditures for July will be exception
ally heavy, Pensions and interest
alone are expected to amount to go
100000. During the fiscal year the
number of national banks in existence
has decreased from 3775 to 1922. Forty
one national banks have been organ
lied during the year; sixty have gone
into voluntary liquidation and others
have been placed in the hands of re-
ceivers.

The first State in the Union
ever carried by the Peoples par
ty, and where it is stronger to-
day than in any other, is a
Prohibition State - Kansas. The
counties in Mississippi where the Peo-
pies party received the fewest votes in
1892 and 1894, were whisky counties.
These are facts which Populist leaders
might consider with profit. No party
can ever be reform party in fact
which courts the liquor vote.

The two old parties are trying to
hoo-doo the people on the money
question again. The National Conven-

met at Cleveland, o., ignored the fl
nancial question after days of wran-
Cling, and the Kentucky Democrats
endorsed the Cleveland Administra-
ton and made cowardly straddle on
silver.

idea is that the lifting power for these
air ships should be gas stored in the
