BUSINESS, NOT STREET POLITICS.

There are governments within gov

with its executive and legislative and
judicial branches is important TO the
nation, but it is not more important to
the nation than the state government,

safe, or the county government, within

this country was never so fully equip
ped for foreign war in which big
navy is so essential. Uncle Sans
latest battleship is the greatest ever
launched. Her official trial trip made
last week, shows her TO be the fastest
war vessel that floats. She averaged
1870 knots. No English vessel can
touch her. In other respects, as are
all the new vessels. no navy can show
such qualities. These magnificent and
expensive engines of war were not
built for show Let the administra-
ton call Johnny Bull down.

BARNEY GROWS ImPERTINEyT.

Rev. Barnard Kelly, ex-pension
agent. called Barney. for short by
the boys, being at leisure the past sum-
mer, has been putting in much Of his
time responding TO demands for
speeches at old soldiers reunions and
the like. Barney is talker from
away back, and the old ex-Union sol
der patriot is his best hold from an
oratorical attitude. Being an original
ProhibitiOnisu he seems TO have keen
appreciation of the anamolous monkey
show that the present state admins
tration is making of itself. For
show of that kind he seems TO think
that the animals are entirely too high
UP on the pole, and that the strain on
their prehensile appendages is more
than the connecting backbone will
stand. So Kelly is interfering into
his remarks here and there, as he goes
along, the question of why does Nor
rill and Dawes show so much anxiety
for the enforcement of 1.-The law In
Wichita and care so little for its viola
1l0n IN Otnef UOWnS ana clues III the
state This question is proving not
only embarrassing but troublesome.
Being around and about very much,
Kelly knows whereof he queries.
Among other towns lately visited by
him was Clay Center, the home Of his
double-dealing majesty, the High-Did-
dler Dawes, where he found five open
saloons. Five saloons in town of
the size of Clay Center, to say nothing
of the fact that it is the local bailiwick
in which that pink Of perfection and
mate to Tiger Bill swasheS around in
when at home, is good many. Pro
portionately Wichita would be entitled
to twenty -five, not to count drug stores
and speak-eaSies, and Barney so OBJ
serves as conclusion TO his pertinent
remarks. Out of a population Of l.

DOWN A Nd OUT.

President Cleveland is back from
his summers outing and is again in
Washington, and it is no secret that he
and Secretary Carlisle are greatly
troubled over the condition of the ma
tiOnal treasury. In spite Of their re-
finances would be all right after the
syndicate deal, the people of the eoun-
try were no less apprehensive Of
trouble ahead. From the time of the
passage of that tariff bill the deple-
ton Of the treasury seemsed inevitable
to every reasoning man. Any school
boy could have told them that unless
the income equalled the outgo bank
ruptcy must ensue. The present con-
dition of affairs is simply Illuminating.
All their promises of surplus under
the Wilson bill have fallen to the
ground and a deficit is an uDdeniable
fact. After all their expedients of
borrowing from one fund to pay an
other, and of Withholding the payments
of others for weeks, and all the con-
temptible and Understandable subter-
fuges failing, the deficit, which was
warranted not to reach above $1S,OOO,-
900 by the end of the fiscal year, grew
with each succeeding month until it
reached fifty millions of dollars. And
so since the Both of June it has been
going on ever since. Official figures
can no longer be juggled. and every
effort to stem the adverse tide under
such a tariff and such a policy must
ignobly fail.
The deficit, together with the In
creased permanent debt, which has
accrued under the new tariff law, now
exceeds $3OO,OOO.OO. Still, in the face
of these facts, the administration had
the hardihood 10 report, in its last
monthly official statement, a surplus of
SO, 100000 for the month of Septem-
Der.
SO Cleveland and Carlisle being at
their wits end, must at last appeal to
Republican congress. They will
probably adopt Tom Reeds sugges-
ton and ask that an additional tax
be put on beer. 1t is said that this
would help out to the tune Of $4,000
600 per annum. But this will not be
sufficient in the absence of a revision
of the tariff law. How Grover and
John G. will feel on going TO congress
with their dilemma may be imagined
1t will be a confession that the Repub-
lican party was right and they wrong.
Too much free trade and too much
goldbugism has done the business for
the present administration.

OUR BRITISH BOSS.

And so Johnny Bull holds that the
Monroe doctrine of the United States
lacks nervousness. In other words
the new British ministry proposes to
bully that Of Grover Cleveland, to
which his representative, Bayard, is
going to acquiesce. The English gov
eminent in maintaining that the Mon
roe doctrine to be effective must go
the whole length Of a protectorate, is
to say that the Monroe doctrine is
meaningless. Proceeding upon this
theory the British government will
probably resort to an ultimatum in the
Venezuela boundary affair, and Amer
lea will subside and probably apollo
gize. At least that seems TO be the
tenor of Minister Bayard's talk.
In one sense the interests and des-
TIMES of the American Republics are
the same. This being true the West
India islands naturally fall into the
same compact. 1t is the interest of
all the Republics named that Venezuela
be not robbed by Great Britain, and
also their interest that Cuba throw off
the Spanish yoke. 1t is unfortunate
for the United States, and for all the
other Republics of the western hemi-
sphere, that Grover Cleveland should
be president just at time when back
bone is so much needed. If England
can make effective her South Ameri-
can policy she will simply dominate the
world. England is with Spain against
Cuba, and with France against the
South American Republics, and
against the United States of America
in everything, and always has been.
The correspondence, editorials and
interviews of our yesterday mornings
dispatches all point to one thing. the
humiliation of the United States Of

BLIND CLARITY.

The Summing party sent out in Bal
Purity congress, an account of which
appeared in our telegraph columns, has
an unpleasant seeming. There was
more OF morbid curiosity and sensa-
uonalism in it than any promise OF
good results. The women and men
who participated in it knew what they
were going TO see and hear. and knew
that they could rescue no one. They
visited a number of houses OF i'll repute
and got off their exhortations. In one
place girl bitterly reproached the
crowd. But she told the truth, a
truth known % everybody. that the
girl and women inmates OF such places,
