This morning Mr.. J. I. Newkirk will
start out canvassing for subscriptions and
donations for tho Associated Charities.
There are only o54 paid-up subscriptions

bring the figures nearer 70 sis, 600. 900 for

THAT DEFICIT

Since the appearance Of the treasury
statement for the past fiscal year we have
heard great deal of the deficit subject.
The fact that the statement showed de
fcit between receipts and expenditures
was cause enough for every Republican
gun TO 60 off at half cock. However
some OF the balls they fired are beginning
to come home, and since the treasury
statement has been analysed and the
public have digestsd the figures. more
damage has been done in the Republican
camp than elsewhere. In making COM
PARSONS between the statements Of ls9i-5
and 1884, one important point is lost
sight of. 1t should be iemem be ed
though some people persist in forgetting
it, that the Harrison administration, in
order to avoid a defeat IA the last year Of
that remarkable reign, ,urned the bank
redemption fund into the treasury. Now
net counting the operations Of the bank
redemption fund the deficit for the past
year was little more than $43, o01 000
which figures are "alarming." put not so
much so as the $65, Goo, U0J deficit OF the
last year of Harrison's atlem pt at admin.

Expenditures 309, ,205, COO 375 454 900
$i3, 3,s37,0o0 $64, ,o94 900
A further analysis shows that during
the past year there has been an increase
of about $ll ,000, 600 in the receipts and a
decrease of over 50. O0o 600 in the expend.
itures. Therefore, taking these two Items,
the treasury statement for the past year
shows an Improvement OF about $2l,
600, 900 over the 1884 record. These lig.
ures arc very encouraging to all except
the Harrson-for-neXt- president cont:ng-
ent. 1t should also be borne in mind that
the Cleveland administration came into
the poss ession Of treasury already mort
gagged by the outgoing administration,
which had rot even paid for the printing
of the bonds they had SO secretly been
working on.

sight of why the showing for the past

it does. When it was known that there

tory, not only pay expenses, but yield
a surplus. Vina ranch includes g. $50
acres of land, and $50 men are employed

terpr,se in these days of close competition
requires persc of more than ordinary
executive ability. Mrs. Stanford at the

familiar with the ins and outs OF ranch
management as she could De. and for
that reason she deserves the more credit.
While Mrs. Stanford has demonstrated

direction. The cruiser Olympia is shown
by the unofficial report of the final trial
trip to be capable of making over twenty
knots an hour under natural draft. These

Taen he subsided into silence,
apparently supposing that there
was nothing more to say. Of course
