Friends of the Wilson law are point
ing with pride to the fact that the state
ment of government receipts and eX-
pe%nditures for June will show a sur
plus. This will be the first surplus
shown during any month since the law
went into operation. The accumulated
deficiency during the previous nine
months since 1t went into effect is about
$50. 900, 600, while the surplus for this
month will be about $500,000. Besides,
June is always a month of heavy re-
ceipts and light expenditures, and there
is no reason to expect that next month
or any other month in the near flu
ture will show a surplus. However, as
ii is the first monthly surplus that has
occurred under the new tariff, Demo-
Gratis ought to be permitted to get out of
it what momentary happiness they can.
With the beginning of the new fiscal
year, July /. the administration will
lapse back into its normal condition of
chronic deficit.

JONAHS AND WHALES.
Address by a Baltimore COlOred
Preacher ON the Wants of Negroes.

BALTIMORE, Nd, June 2S.-At a polit-
ical gathering of colored people, last even
ing, Rev. w. c. Coins made an address, in
which he said: II would say to my white
brethren that when the negro asks for
equal rights he does not mean to come
into your parlors or eat at your tables. He
does not mean to go into your fine drug
stores and ask for a glass of soda. But

contest for that position as a man, not as
a negro. We want to measure our tai

lea was made sacred by the blood Of your
fathers and our fathers, and we are go

COLOMBO W and could all be loaded
on a ship. and a storm should overtake
us, the negroes would be found to be the
Jonahs, and We would be cast overheard.
But We would not be lost. There would be
a whale for every colored man, and when
the morn dawned $4,000 bright faces
turned toward heaven would be landed on
American shores and a mighty shout would
go up, Home again."

ALDERMEN IN r
Threatened by a Mob for Not Reduc-
ing Water Rates Enough.

Col, June 2s-Almost the en-
tire police force of Denver was employed
last night in guarding the houses of eight
aldermen who feared violence from their
constituents. A bill for an ordinance
granting q reduction of only Is per cent.
on the schedule of water rates now In
force passed the aldermen by a vote of
eight to six and this aroused the anger OF
the people who attended the Council meet
ings in force. The measure which created
so much Indignation has a clause which
makes the rates thus fixed a burden on
the people for fifteen years. Besides, IL Is
claimed that the reduction OF 10 per cent.
Is not half what the public is entitled to
under the company's contract. which calls
for a reduction this year TO the average of
the rates charged in Chicago. st. Louis and
Cincinnati. Although feeling runs high
and much harsh talk is heard no overt
acts against the aldermen have yet been
committed.
Supervisors Phister and Buckton and
Aldermen Young, Fidel and Hingley insti-
tuted libel suits for $4,000 damages each
against both the Rocky Mountain News
and the Denver Republican this afternoon.
The plaintiffs. who are members OF the
water committee of the City Council, claim
they have been slandered by articles pub
lished regarding their course in connection
with the attempt now being made 10 Sc
cure a reduction of the rates charged by the
Denver Union Water Company.

a featue Of the new tariff law which
was put in as an offset to
the repeal of protective duties.
and which it was claimed would
max it a tariff for revenue, was the in
crease of the tax on whisky. This tax
was increased from 80 cents a gallon to
81. 10, and it was claimed that the addi-
ton of 20 cents per gallon would result
in a large increase of evenue. So 1t
would if it had been honestly guarded,
but ii was not. Instead of ar increase
there has been, during the first years
operation of the law, a decrease Of near
ly $40, 900, 900. Treasury officials and
friends of the administration offer vari-
GUS explanations for this. but they all
resolve themselves into the fact that
certain provisions of the new law Were
really framed in the interests Of the dis
tillers. The fact which cannot be eX-
planned away is that in years OPP
Grafton of the new law the government
has lost about $40. OO0, 900 of revenue on

holders are reaping h benefit of money
