THE GROWING DEFICIT.

MIR. Carlisle's rosy predictions of an
increase of revenue are not being full
filled. He has to admit deficiency for
March of at least s24, 900, 600, and "a defloit
for the present year up to the present
time of SIS, 000 900. When Carlisle was be-
fore the ways and means committee he
predicted that the deficit for the whole
year would be but SIT, 600, COO. There is
now every prospect that 1t will be at least
which he anticipated, and upon who b
he relied TO swell the treasury receipts

it while Cleveland holds the fort.
Yet with this growing deficit staring

Judge Torrey of Wyoming, the author
of the Torrey bankruptcy bill. Imay have
an opportunity for carrying On the battle
for bankruptcy measure from inside of
Congress. instead of on the outside, if he
does not secure its passage
during the present session. He
moved from St. Louis to Wyoming only
few years ago, but easily won his way
co a position in his new home which
esulted in his election to the legislature
q afterwards as speaker of the House.
tator Clark, whose term expires In
is warm friend of Judge Torrey,
is trying to push the bankruptcy
IN in the Senate, but this may not pre-
vent them from measuring swords for
the senatorship before the next legisla-
ture. Judge Torrey would make a valu-
able Senator, for he has a thorough
knowledge of law, which has been much
broadened by his Investigations in the
preparation Of the bankruptcy bill, and
he has a responsiveness which several
times has transformed hostile maiorities
in the House into majorities favorable 10
bankruptcy legislation. He has made
the matter almost life work since he
was first selected by the national board
trade some seven or eight years ago

Tho New York Herald has deemed it
worth while to get an interview with the
Duke of Veragua on the recent proceed
ings of the United States Senate in rela-
ton TO the rebellion In Cuba. 1t will be
remembered that the Duke is "a lineal
descen dant of Columbus and that no was
the guest of the nation during tho Co.
lum bian Exposition. 1t will be remem-
bered also that a subscription was started
In this country to help the Duke redeem
his family estates, that were heavily
encountered, which, however, was not
very successful. 1t is needless to say that
he is not pleased with the remarks made
about his country and his conntrylnen
during the Senate debate. He thinks the
Senators are not gentlemen. 1t is not
at all probable that the Dukes utteranoes
will have any other effect than to recall
the fact that he was over here at the
time Of the last worlds fair. and was
quite ready to accept charity from the
American people. Probably no Senator
will offer any apology for what he may
have said. on the Dukes account. How
ever. getting an interview with him was,
we suppose, "a very great triumph.

Mr.. Ebert Rappleye, the correspond.
emit of the New York Mail and Express,
who WAS recently expelled from Cuba
by Gen. Weyler, has arrived in New
York. He expresses the opinion that Gu
ba would be free in less than three
months If the United States would rec
ognize the belligerency Of the rebels He
says the Spanish forces are now on the
defensive. and that Welyer has turred
out a complete failure. Rappleyo is
evidently in sympathy with the rebellion,
so that some discount must be made, but
his OPT MON regarding Weyler seems to
be abundantly confirmed by facts within
general knowledge. Weyler has made no
more progress in putting down the rebel
lion than Campos, and the latter was
pronounced failure by the Spanish gov
ernment and recalled.

that nobody knows much about prophecy

There is the ring of the true metal

Bay State Republicans are for sound

world should know 1t. They are not try
ing to fool anybody, nor make "gold

insects see it the other way going. II
