government expenses have been largely
in excess of the receipts for some time
past Schemes for increasing the rev
enue having failed, only one thing re-
NAMED to do and that was to reduce the
expenses. Like most other great fnan-
ciers, however, Mr.. Smith has commenced
his reductions where those affected are
least able to stand it There are many
places where economy could have been
introduced with more justice than among
the poorly paid clerks of the pension de-
partmsnt Extravagant expenditures on
the navy might be stopped, large num-
Der of unnecessary army officers might
be retired, hundreds of officials who do
nothing and draw salaries, might be dis
pensed with, and the secretary
might even cover his own salary into the
treasury. A man who can get $4,000
faes as railroad attorney without inter
fering with his official duties, does not
need the salary of = cabinet officer.
These pension clerks need all they have
been receiving.

Preachers Debate for Three Days Wheth-

STOCKTON. June IA most interest
ing aud scholarly debate continuing over
three days has ended here. 1t was be-
tween Rev. II. A Kerr of Anthony, rep
resenting the Christian church, and Rev.
J. q. Horn of the Stockton NJ. E. church
The bone of contention was baptism,
shall it be by immersion or BY sprink-
lingf
". B. Ham acted as moderator through
out the SIX sessions of two hours each
and Rev. c. L. Mills acted as referee on
questions as to the rendering of Greek
words.
The audiences were good throughout,
numbering about go peEons in the day
sessions and 800 at the night sessions.
Miss Fannie Farr and Miss Hattie Hal.
bert reported in shorthand the entire
debate.
The last two sessions were spent in
discussing the question, Qualitative Jus.
LITIGATION is by Faith Only" affirmed by
horn, negatived by Kerr.
Mr.. Horn has not convinced Mr.. Kerr,
nor has Mr. Kerr convinced Mr.. Horn;
neither have any Methodists become
Christians or Baptists, nor Christians be-
come Methodists in consequence of the
discussion.
The conclusion reached by the audi
ence was that baptism is a ceremony that
could be dispensed with altogether, with
out in the least prsjudicing the right
eousness of any denomination.

BRAVE CLIFF AOLBERT.
Though Unarmed, He Pursuss and
Catches r Burglar.
from the AtchisOn Globe

The residence of A II. Harvey, freight
agent for the Missouri Pacific, was en-
tered by burglar in broad daylight this
morning. Harvey lives on South Fifth
street near Dan Ayres. The burglar en-
tered a bed room where Mrs. Harvey
was sleeping, when she was awak
ened by a slight noise. When she looked
up and saw a strange man, she made an
cutlery.
The burglar grabbed up several rings
and ran. Several persons saw him and
yelled. This attracted the whole neigh
borhood, Cliff Holbert among the others.
Holbert took after the fleeing man,
chasing him over fences, through
back yards, alleys, etc. Finally Hol-
bert commenced gaining on the fellow.
The man had a club in his ham, but
Holbert put his hand in his pocket as if
to draw a revolver, and commanded
him to halt, or die, at the same time put
ting his hand on his handkerchief. The
fellow halted, but drew back the club
which Holbert grabbed
A tussls followed, in which Holbert
wrenched the club from the fellows
hand. By this time a crowd had sur
rounded the man, and he was secured.
An officer was telephoned for. Clay
Martin cSme in a short time and placed
the fellow under arrest The rings
which had been taken from Mrs. Har-
vey's room were found in the burglars
hand. He had no revolver. He refused
to give his name, but said he was from
Sedalia, No.
He told Clay Martin that he was look
ing for home, and, judging from the
situation, it looks as if he was going to
get one. He acts like an ex- convict He
absolutely refuses to talk. He is q
young fellow, and is moderately wei

question. 1t will be the first opportun-
ity of the sound" money theorists to get
their views before the people, as their
literature has hitherto not been in great

been rendered against them in advance
If they shall succeed in reversing it..
they will owe their success to the mag

ton to KisI Should Have Been Refused.
PARIS, June 1.-THE proposed visit of
a French squadron to Kiel in order to
take part in the ceremonies attending
the opening of the Baltic and North sea
canal continues to create much comment
in spite of the explanation made by NJ.
Hanotaux, the minister for foreign affairs
in the chamber of deputies yesterday.
The radical and socialist newspapers
persist in declaring that the visit of the
French war ships to Kiel is not justified.
On the other hand the conservative news
papers hold that the government could
not decline Germany's invitation; but
they express the opinion that the French
ambassador at Berlin. Of. Herbette,
should have prevented the invitation be-
ing sent.

WASHINGTON, June 1.-The depart

France an extended notice of the con-

American product, and it may not be of
American origin at all.
