In spite Of all promises 70 the con-
trary. and in spite OF democratic declar-
atoms that improved business condi-
tons would bring sufficient revenue to
the government, the officers of the
treasury department are brought face
70 face with the fact that the deficit Is
Increasing. and that there Is a grow
ing prospect that the gold reserve will
again be depleted.
In this condition of affairs the au-
thorities will be called upon TO pre-
pare some recommendations for rails
ing revenue TO be submitted to the In
coming republican congress. In view
Of the boasts made regarding the
ability Of the Wilson-Gorman act to
raise sufficient revenues, such recon-
mendation win be anything but pleas
ing work, but nevertheless twill have
TO be done.
IL has been suggested that nm in
crease In the tax on beer would bring
thirty-two million dollars additional to
the treasury, but the brewing interest
Is SO strong with this administration
that IL Is believed the treasury authori-
ties will look elsewhere for the needed
revenue.
In these circumstances 1t is likely
that the republican members viii have
TO take mp tho subject and dispose of II
themselves Senator Dubois. of Idaho,
says he expresses the sentiments of n
great number of republicans of the
wool-growing states when he says:
II think the western men in congress
will insist on the deficiency in the rev.
enue being made up by duty on wool.
The most Objectionable feature of tho
new tariff law is its discrimination
against the farmer and against all of
the western interests. The eastern
manufactures and such raw material
as iron and coal are well protected.
The western men have n right to insist
that II additional duties have to be coll
lected to meet the deficiency in the
revenue that they shall be put upon
such item or items as they are particu-
larry interested in. and which have
been Disseminated against ia the pres
ent law.
1.-THE restoration of wool TO the duti-
able list is the thing in which tho
Wtob ID AiOeb AnbCItobtbf anu buC re-
publican party is thoroughly COM
mitted to the proposition. am quite
sure that the west will insist upon
this, and do not see how the re-
publican congress can refuse TO select
that as the item upon which TO raise
additional revenue. The fact that the
administration may not look with favor
upon this duty, do not think should
be considered. do not suppose there
will be any disposition to take up the
whole tariff question in the next con-
gress, but when the republican con-
gress is called upon for an increase of
revenue this item of duty on wool is
the one toward which they most
naturally and with the greatest justice
should turn"
This is the condition which confronts
the administration at the present
time. There is renewed talk of an
other bond issue, but IL Is safe to say
that Mr.. Cleveland win consent to that
only ms a last resort. ALBANY Journal.

CurioSitieS About Bells.

Tho history of bells is one of the most
curious and interesting chapters i'll the
record of fnventions. They were first
heard about the year 400 A. D., before
which time rattles were univ ersally
used In tho year Go bells were first in
troduced into the western part of Eu-
rope, at tho city of Sens, in Spain. In
tho last year their ringing is said to
havo so frightened the soldiers of King
Clotaire of France that they were glad
to be permitted to leave Spanish terri
tory with their lives. In the year 9G0
the first bells in England wero hung at
the Coryland abbey. The oldest bell in
America, that belonging to the African
Methodists at Haleyville, N. j., was
cast in Spain in the year 1902 and first
did service on the historic old Alham-
bra. Queen Isabella presented it to
Christopher Columbus, and he brought
it to the western world upon tho occa-
sion Of his first voyage. 1t was first
placed in the chapel of the cathedral at
Carthagena, New Granada, in the year
1902. In the year 1897, when that city
was besieged and captured by the
French, the old bell fell to the officers
of tho ship La Rochelle, who took it as
a part of their portion of the plumber.
La Rochelle was wrecked on one of the
West Indies, and years afterward Cap
tain Newell of the bark Ezra III. Fisk
purchased the bell, which, with other
articles. was saved from the wreck, and
took it to Haleyville. st. Louis Repub
