The public may be prepared for most
involved. obscure, shifty and tricky report
from the treasury officials at Washington
within a few days. The present fiscal
year will close on June 80. An attempt
will undoubtedly be made to make fair
showing for the administration and to ex-
tract the sting from public censure In
view of the doleful result of the operation
of the new tariff law. This programme
has been indicated by the recent monthly
reports of the treasury department.. In
these reports the official figures have been
juggled in most brazen manner. Such
figures as could not be jnggled have been
suppressed.
Any one can prove the correctness Of
this statement by carefully comparing the
treasury's monthly reports for the last
calendar year with those of any recent
previous year. Such comparison will
show that the treasury officials have been
deferring necessary expenditures and
concealing some which have not been de-
ferred. They have placed the burden of
expenditure upon the first of each month
in their reports, thus leaving the latter
part of the month with an apparently
good record. This was done In view of a
possible change to the advantage of the
treasury. This risky and reckless method
of bookkeeping has demoralized the de-
partment and distracted and confused the
public. 1t has not, however, deceived
those who are in u position to know the
true condition of the treasury, and who
are in possession of the real facts and
figures. 1o'
This attempt to make fair showing at
the expense of truth is most ridiculous
proceeding. It is also grave offense
against the people whose servants these
officials are. It was doomed from the first
to merciless exposure. The necessary
expenditures of tia government had to be
met. If deferred they became additionally
troublesome. These government expendi-
ures average for the year something more
than 81, 900, 900 day. By simple cal
culation on the basis of the treasury re-
ports for the ensuing year it is easy to as.
certain the present financial condition of
the government The administration in
Its efforts to bolster up the present in
efficient and Ubiquitous tariff law has
been only providing for Its own deeper
disgrace

The three great perils which menace
the country are. according to Judge
Brown of the U. S. supreme court, NUM-
cipal corruption, corporate greed and the
tyranny of labor. Being member of the
supreme court and addressing the stu
dents of the Yale law school 1t would ma
turally be supposed that Judge Brown
carefully weighed his words. The three
perils which he described seem to be In
terdependent In quite remarkable degree.
Without municipal corruption the cor
porate greed would not have such rich
opportunities for exploiting itself, and
were 1t not for corporate greed to blaze
the way 1t Is doubtful If tyranny of. labor
had ever reached It's present influence.
When employees see rival enterprises
crushed out Of existence by methods that
would not bear Inspection 7s!t iss not
strange If they acquiesce in similar
m ethods for their own aggrandizement
without regard for the public welfare
But perhaps 1t will be of interest to quote
some Of the words which Judge Brown
spoke to the law students in Yale. He
said:
1.-THE ease with which charters are pro-
cured has produced great abuses. Cor
porations are formed under the laws of
one state for the sole purpose Of doing
business in another, and railways are
built in California under charters granted
by the states eat of the Mississippi for the
purpose Of removing their litigation to
federal courts. The greatest frauds are
perpetrated In the construction of such
roads by the directors themselves. under
guise of construction company. another
corporation, to which Is turned over all
the bonds, mortgages and other securities.
regardless of the actual cost of the road.
The road is equipped in the same way by
another corporation formed of directors,
which buys the rolling stock and leases II
to the road, SO that when inevitable fore
closure comes the stockholders are found

special TO the Mobile Register from
Vlcksburg, Miss, says: Mr.. King, the
proprietor of q small trading boat To-
Gated at Caroline landing, was brought
to this CITY to-day on the mail steamer
Annie Laurie in most pitiable condi
ton.
He is suffering from numerous
wounds In the face, neck and breast.
Bis condition is such as to prevent his
giving any particulars as to how he re-
celved the wounds, but it ia learned
rom passengers by that steamer that
one night last week five negroes went
aboard of the trading boat of Mr.. King
and made some preteise of wishing to
make some purchases. One of the
party went out and q moment after
hred at mr. King with shotgun. The
gun was loaded with large shot, many
OF which hit Mr.. King in the face COM
pletely binding him. The greater por-
tion of his teeth were saot out and sev.
eral shots hit the unfortunate nan in
the neck and breast, 1t ia feared that
he is blinded forever.
''Mr. Kings wife, a brave little
woman, had pistol and returned the
fire, killing one of the negroes, who fell
from the guards of the BOAT into the
river, and il he was not killed he was
drowned. Another of the negroes fell
and was carried away by the other
negroes. The negroes then fred thirty
or forty shots at the boat from the river
bank and ran away, when help came to
the assistance of the woman and towed
the boat across the river.
