On our first and fourth pages IL

On our first and fourth pages to-
day appears the report Of the county
clerk showing the cost Of conduct
ing the -eoanty's business for the
last fiscal year. The statement is
full and complete; clear in every
thing. 1t shows where the money
comes from and where every dollar
Of it goes. The statement is mod
ell one and is commented upon in
nearly every county in the state,
and is initiated in every county
where they care to have a satisfac-
tory statement. The county court
and Senator Wiley are to be com
mended for making it. No tax pay
er can say he doesn't know where
his money goes.

had been born at Gray Gables This
report was soon verified by DIR. Bry-

This is the third child born into the
Presidents family, and all of them
are girls. Ruth is four years old
and Esther tao. Only a passing
glance could be obtained from the
President this afternoon, but that
was sufficient to note an expression
Of satisfaction on the face of the
Chief Executive, although it was an
open secret that boy baby would

Now that the existence of a genu-
inc and widespread business revival
cannot be denied, the editor of the
New York Tribune makes a monkey
Of himself by expressing his fears
that the revival will not last long.
Perhaps he thinks the Republican
Congress will do something to hurt
business.

puts out the following:
Here are the pianks which make
the next Republican platform so
strong that two-thirds of the voters
of the United States can and will
stand upon it. Every one of them
is, in its mere statement, an indiet-
ment and condemnation of the Dem
ocratic party and the Cleveland Ad-
minislration:
l. Protection to American indus
tries.
2. An Honest Currency
g. Repeal of the Income Tax.
L. Annexation of Hawai-.
5. enforcement of Monroe Doc
trine
g. Encouragement to American
Shipping.
7. Non Intervention on the Other
Hemisphere.
s. A Pure Ballot and an Honest
Count
9. American Control of the Nj
earagua Canal.
These are all taking propositions
on their face, with those who avoid
doing their own thinking as mat
ter of altogether too much trouble,
but they very iuadequately express
the purposes behind the declarations
The following will give better idea
of their real meaning coming from
the source they do.
More taxation of the people to
make incompetent manufacturing
profitable.

ton.
3-The wiping out of the only tax
ever aimed at or capable of reaching
surplus wealth
Reimbursement of Sandwich Is

England stockholders.
5-Mischief making Jingoism, cal
culated to keep US in continual hot
water, and make us the laughing
stock of Ghristendom.
6-Subsidies to administration fay
orites engaged in building ships, to
be paid out of the pockets of the
masses.
NO contest with the Bull and
the Bear and the rest of them, ex

1t is possible, of course, that two
thirds the voters of the country, may
decide to get upon such a platform,
though the thing is not at all proba-
BILE.
In the meantime it is wise to re
member that there is substantial
agreement among all Democrats on
all the pressing issues. save one. The
silver question divides them, perhaps
more widely than it does the Repub-
licans. The New York Times has
beeL gathering some data and max
ing some estimates on this head, and
gives out the following as the prob
able standing of the Republican and
Democratic delegates from all the
States on the money question IN the
next national conventions, the fig
ures being based, of course, upon
present indications, which are likely
to change:
