The State Expenditure.

1t is evident from the number and
magnitude of the sums asked for in
the way of appropriations for various
purposes the Legislature will find it
difficult to keep expenditures for the
next two years within the treasury re-
ceipts. The "claims" are not all in
yet, and even at this early date an
aggregate Of $3o,ooo,ooo can be
figured up. AS against this enormous
sum the State Treasurer estimates
that the receipts for the next two
years will not exceed $Io, 900
or about S., 900 less than for the
past two years. 1t is very plain that
$50, 900 cannot safely be appro-
priated when less than Sac, o,ooo,o 900 is
in sight subject to draft. There will
have to be a severe pruning down
wherever the knife can be applied, or
the credit of the State for good fnan-
, ciering and economical government
will suffer.
There is one thought running
through the legislative mind-that
this is great State that it is practi-
cally out of debt, and that its resour-
ces are almost limitless. This is true,
and very creditable to the financial
management of past years. But that
is one of the strongest reasons why
the greatest care should be exercised
! in authorizing public expenditures.
The Republican party has been very
jealous of its record and proud of its
achievements in the line of guarding
the public interests by keeping down
taxation and encouraging growth and
expansion in business. 1t will not do
to enter upon an era of extravagant
expenditures in times like these.
Owing to depression, caused by gross
mismanagement of national affairs,
the State receipts will be curtailed as
indicated above, and it would be very
unwise to pursue policy which will
tend to increase taxation or add to
the State debt.
There are some items which cannot
be curtailed, nor is it desirable thai
. they should be; but there are Others
that can be more or less reduced, anC
t many applications for money tina
should be peremptorily denied. TIL,

Y increase of salaries are evils that can

night: II do not think the silver ques-
ton will play much of a part in the
proceedings That has lost ground re-
Gently and is no longer subject of
first interest with the convention,
though many delegates are friends of
the white metal. The matter of freight
determinations will undoubtedly be
one of the best subjects on the program
and the discussion of forestry, irriga-
ton, harbors and deep waterways and
the Nicaragua canal will be attended
with much interest"
The program for the sessions of the
congress is only partially outlined. AS
far as it is now prepared. it includes
the following discussions: Forestry
in the Rockies" by Hon. John Park of
Salt Lake City; THE Hawaiian Cues
tion," by Hon. Hugh Craig of San
Francisco; "Nicaraguan Canal" Cap
tain Merry of San Francisco; Trans
mississippi Tariffs" James MahOney,
Sioux City, Iowa, and Captain Lon Bry-
son, Davenport; Deep Waterways" by
Hon. A. P. McGuirk of Davenport,
Iowa; "Irrigation," Ex-Governor Prince
and others.
The largest and most notable dele
cation in the convention represents
Utah. Iowa, Missouri, Arkansas, Kan
sas, Texas, Colorado, California, Ari-
IONA, Nevada, Washington, Oregon,
Wyoming and the DakOtas are repre-
scented.
IT'S PURPOSE.
Pullman herald. [volume] (Pullman, W.T. [Wash.]) 1888-1989, 1895-11-30

The convention will probably be in
session for five days. The explicit pur-
pose of the congress, as expressed by
the executive committee, is to discuss
all questions affecting the interests Of
the people in the foregoing territory
frOm the Mississippi to the Pacific,
which may be the subject of legisla-
ton by the United States congress, and
to express to it, through resolutions and
otherwise, the sentiments of the west
ern people. 1t will also endeavOr to
take such steps for the presentation of
these resolutions to that body as will
command it's attention and action.
The mississippi commercial con-
gress is described as the great result OF
the consolidation of various western
non-political or commercial conventions,
which have been in existence from time
to time, but which have gradually merg-
ed into this one great organization. IN
stead of holding separate conventions up
on all western questions, 1T has now pc
come apparent how much more eHectlVe
will be the demands OF one congress VolC-
ing the general sentiment of the people
as developed in a forum when IS not III

TREASURY WILL PAY THE CHARGES
Invites Banks and Other People to Send
Gold.

Washington, Nov. 2s-The treasury de-
partment today, in order to recoup in
part its failing gold reserve, took the ex-
tremely unusual course of agreeing to
pay the express charges both ways to
persons and corporations forwarding gold
for other currency.
CARLISLES LETTER.
Secretary Carlisle. In a circular letter
sent to the United States sub-treasurers
this afternoon. instructed them hereafter
to receive gold coin in sums Of $500 and
multiples thereof and to pay express
charges on the gold and also on the cur
rency returned in exchange therefor. He
also instructed the sub-treasurers to re-
ceive light weight gold coin and to ascer-
tain the exact value Of such coin and pay
for it at face value less four cents for
each troy grain when such coins are found
to be below standard weight.
This is believed to be the second time in
the history Of the government that it has
paid express charges both on the gold re-
ceived and the currency returned there
for.

Washington special says:
"a republican connected prominently
with the last administration, who has
just returned to the city after flying
visit to New York, talked freely with
ex-President Harrison about the COM
ing campaign. To his surprise, he found
General Harrison warmly commencing
Senator Allison as a proper candidate
for the party to take up next summer.
THE ex-president, said he, spoke in
such a way as to leave the impression
that he wanted a western man for the
presidency and that Allison would be
suitable to the Harrison forces"

VentiOn adjourned two hours for lunch.
At the afternoon session, committees
were appointed, credentials examined
and the convention was regularly or
ganized.
The response to Governor HOlcomb's
welcoming address by l.. Bradford
Prince of New Mexico was a feature of
the closing afternoon session. The
speaker spoke eloquently of the di-
versity Of the country which extended
from the level prairies to the foothills
of the mountains filled with their vast
mineral wealth.
Ex-Governor Prince asked his audi
ence to think of the gold miner of Col
Orado, who had been made prosperous
by an act of congress and then of the
poor silver miner whose prosperity had
been taken away from him by the same
act. In conclusion he said: I'VE thank
you heartily for your words of welcome.
Our expectations have been more than
realized. These flowers also present
mute welcome from some who have not
been represented on this floor, but
whose welcome is as touching and
graceful as any that could greet US
here. We are all glad to meet here on
the banks of your mighty river, in
your city, which is a miracle of growth
and an epitome of the enterprise and
progress which has made the common
wealths Of the west and we trust that
our sojourn here will bring nothing but
pleasure to the people of Omaha and
Nebraska, as we are satisfied that it
will bring nothing but pleasure to our
selves"

the first subject under discussion this
afternoon. Professor Waterhouse of ST

Craig of San Francisco discussed Amer

From 6 p. m. until p. m. public
reception was rendered the delegates

he pleaded for the immediate admission

ment of the body was with hin

joined in the discussion. 1t was agreed
that statehood could not be withheld
from the territories much longer.
