Dumb Pianos.

1t is in Philadelphia, where
any sort of noise is disliked, that
the people who have pianos next
door to them are delighted to
hear of new invention, .the
dumb piano." on which young
ladies can learn music without
making any sound. 1t is simply
automatic, and all the Keyboard
is there, but emits no sound
whatever. 1t is boon to late
sleepers who have TO be up late
at night and are likely to be rout-
ed out by stunning and banging
on the discordant pianofort in
the early morning. Young la.
dies without any ears for music
can play these pianos without
disturbing the peace of music.

towns wherein they are located. Fred
Brown has given Hurley first-class
paper, and demonstrated his ability in
that line, but the odds of business and

Vermillion Republican,: Brown OF
the Hurley Record has sold out to
Brown OF the Hurley Herald. The
Record was lively in its life; the Her
aid will now hum with renewed heat
from the energetic hammerstrokes OF
its longtime and able editor. This
deal lessons the number of Turner
county papers to nine, we believe.
The Irene News passed in its checks
some weeks since. In all conscience,
nine weekly papers in one small coun-
ty ought to cover the field quite as
effectively as eleven. And if these
nine were reduced to six or less, per-
haps it would be still better for all con-
cerned.

Hurley Record bade his friends
in Hurley adieu last Saturday
and started to find a new field of
labor on the Pacific coast. Dur
ing his work as editor and pub
Usher of The Record he labored
hard and faithfully to give his
readers a good newspaper---and
he succeeded. But after a long
struggle he came to the conclu-
sion that Hurley was not in need
of a second newspaper and so
disposed of his holdings here.
The editor of the Herald hopes
that Fred's experience mag be

TUE DEMOCRATIC DRF1c1r.

St. Louis Globe-Democrat: The
treasury deficit for the fiscal year
Just closed is in round numbers
S43, $50, 600, which, added to the
last years deficit of nearly S7O,-
100000, makes total for the two
years of about S113,O ,OOO,O 900, an
average of 4,741, 500 per month,
or over S15S, 900 per day. There
is good reason to believe that the
showing would be considerably
worse if it had been made up in
strict accordance with the facts.
For several weeks past, it is re-
presented, proper expenditures
have been withheld and the pay
ment of accrued claims postponed
III order to cut down the deficit at
the end of the year, thus mis-
leading the country as to the
true condition of things. How
ever, at the best, it is bad enough.
There has been nothing like it at
any time since the war. So long.
as the republican party was in
power, 1t not only kept the re-
ceipts UP to the expenditures, but
also provided a surplus for the
rapid dinlinution of the public
debt. Under the present admin
lstration, the debt has been in
creased instead Of decreased, and
the treasury gold reserve, the
basis and security of our currency,
has had to be replenished three
times. The contrast between the
records of the two parties in this
respect is an instructive and i'm
portant one, and the people are
not likely to forget the lesson that
it teaches.
It is contended by the demo-
Gratis, to be sure, that they have
been at disadvantage by reason
of unexpected conditions of dis
turbance and depression, But
what caused these conditions,
and why were they not prevent
ed? The country was at the
flood-tide of prosperity when the
democratic victory Of 1892 occur
red. There was a surplus in the
treasury and an excess of receipts
over expenditures when the pres
ent administration took charge of
the public business. The baleful
Influences of distrust and stagna-
ton began TO intervene as soon as
the republicans retired, practical
ly speaking, aud the course Of
the party in power tended to in
crease the general feeling of un-
easiness and to embarrass all
kinds of business and industry.
Nothing was done to restore con-
tldence and to encourage trade
and production. The democrats
were in entire control of the gov
ernnent, with power to take any
action that they pleased for the
improvement of the situation. 1t
will not do for them to say that
they were helpless when they had
the president and both houses of
congress. The truth is that their
own conduct was the princial
source of trouble, and that the
decrease of revenue was mainly
due to their ill-advised tariff
legislation. In other words, the
monstrous deficit of S113, 900, 900
for two years in time of peace and
plenty stands for democratic in
capacity, and there is no other
explanation of it that deserves a
moments serious consideration.

MISSING CHARLES SMITH,
A FALSE REPORT OF HIS RETURN
LAST WEEK JUST Dis
CLOSED.
MRS. SMITH ALSO GONE HER
WHEREABOUTS Is UNKNOWN
BY HER RELATIVES.

Charley Smith, the ng-missing book
keeper of L. w. McGIauflin & Co., was
reported to have returned by morning
paper of October 4.
Mr.. and Mrs. Smith, the father and
mother of the missing man, have not seen
him. Mrs. Kinsman, the mother-in-law Of
young Smith, has not seen him, neither
has she seen her daughter, the wife of the
mysterious bookkeeper, for several days
prior to the 4th of October, the date on
which her son-in-law was reported to have
returned.
1t is certain that young Smith has not
come back to this City.
There are no legal reasons why he should
not return. He was never charged with
any part in the manipulation of Nc
Glauflin &; Co.'S books, though after his
departure it was found that nearly dray-
load had been carried away and others
were so mutilated as to be intan gible to the
accountants employed in their exporting.
His step brother authorized published
statement in THE CALL six weeks ago to
the effect that "Charles was in Mexico;
that he had sent money home to his wife,
and that he was in communication with
his father and mother" In this same in-
terview Mr.. Woodward, Smiths step
brother, said of his relatives absence:
"He is not tn ere for nothing, and if he
comes home witho ut enough to compensate
him for all this tr ouble in the shape of
several thousand then 1 will miss my
guess"
1t was also said that Charles Smith had
arrived home on the Sd of October, but
under the protecting wing of his brother
in-law, S. B. Carleton, che refused abso-
lutely to be seen."
Exactly" said Thomas Collins, Nc
Glaufiin & Co. IS receiver, yesterday. "Of
course he was not to be seen. | wanted to
see him. Mr.. McGlaufiin, his friend and

here. He has not been here since he first
left. We were his friends.

Collins, land he had not seen the boy
The same answer met me when | went to

''She had not seen him. The whole
thing resolved itself into this: S. B.

keeper. Therein existed the story The
reason l know not. Mr.. McGlaufiin and
myself were anxious for palpable reasons
to see the long absent bookKeeper. There
piled to his father and mother-in-Iaw
was referred to Carleton. The man who
was supposed, or represented, to be Char
ley was not the boy at all, but another
member OF the vast army of Smiths. He
has never returned, and his wife is also
absent, and the story of his homecoming
was canard of the rankest character"
