A meeting Of the Brooklyn Democratic Club was
held at it's headquarters in Montague-st last night
for the purpose of listening reports of its me

The president OF the club. William G. Redheid,
called the meeting to order and gave brief ac

the Convention, and said that the men who gathered
there were the type Of men that should represent
not only the Democratic party but the Nation.

The Proper Time.

When the most benefit is to be derived
from a good medicine, is early in the
year. This is the season when the tired
body, weakened organs and nervous sys-
tenn yearn for a building up medicine
like Hoods Sarsaparilla Many wait
for the open spring weather and, in
fact, delay giving attention to their
physical condition so that long siege of
sickness is inevitable. To rid the sys-
tenn of the impurities accumulated dur
ing the winter season, to purify the blood
and to invigorate the whole sys-
tenn, there is nothing equal
to Hoods Sarsapariila. Don'E put it of,

THE London Times clearly does not
understand the American system of
finance. In an article on the recent bond
sale it says: probably the gold held in
readiness will not only supply the first
instalIment, but will furnish portion of
the second installment, if it can be re-
tanned for that purpose" 1t might be
necessary in dull, poky, stupid England
to have gold on hand for the second in
stallment, but not so in America, where
there is so perfect an understanding be-
tween buyer and seller. Gold for the
first instalIment is all that is necessary.
Gold for the second installment is in the
treasury, and can be obtsined when want
ed, just as the gold for the first install
ment was obtained.

WHILE the purchasers of the bond is
sue of one year ago cleared about $11,-
100000, it is probable that, owing to the
stong protests which assembled from the
press and public having prevented a
repetition of that transaction, the profits
on the present deal will not be above
$4,000, 600. II the bonds had been offer
ed to the public at the price which SINH

THE National Farmers Alliance is re-

There never was any sense in the $50

point of an Alliance man. What they
really believe is that there should be
enough money in circulation to do the
business of the country on q cash basis.
The absnrdity, therefore. of fixing it at
$50 per capita is apparent. A circula-

A GLANCE over a table showing the re-
ceipts of the government for the past 30
years is sufficient to convince anyone
that the present deficit is due much more
largely to a falling of in the business of
the country than to any change in the
tariff. It will be seen that an excess OF
more than a hundred millions in 1877 0
dwind1ed to two millions in 1874 in con-
sequence of the stagnation of business
resulting from the demonstration of
silver. As the country began to recover,
the excess of revenue reached $50, 000,-
600 in 1877. The excess again
took a jump, following the put
ting in operation of the Bland act and
reached $145.OOO0Oo in 1882. It did
not vary much from 100000, 900 an
nually until 1891 when as the result of
the change to the Sherman law the prev
ious year it fell to $26,OOO,O00 and for the
two years since the repeal of the Sher-
man law there has been a total deficit of
over $112, 100000.

The representatives of nearly 40, 900 or

On Feb. 10. They are the delegates chosen
to attend the annual national assembly of
the League of American Wheelmen. This
Is to be far different gathering from that
which was held at Asbury Park last sum-

the serious business of conducting the or

over / 200, 600 American wheelmen, and
the ranks are being increased at the rate
of several hundred thousand year. So
rapid has this increase been within the
last year or two that the efforts to get

lousy small in proportion to the size of
the job. At present but comparatively

the members. Mr.. Elliott's friends claim
that his administration would be more
vigorous and enterprising than that of
President Wilson has been, but his cleo
ton is opposed on the ground that as
publisher of the leagues official organ he
has business relation with the organiZa-
ton that makes him ineligible for the Of
fee of president. Elliott will have the
solid support of the New York, Masachu-
sets and other eastern delegates, and it is
said that Wilson will have the support
of the south and west.
While it is probable that an amendment
to the constitution calling for the aban-
Comment of racing will be defeated 1t is
likely that the racing rules will be revised.
A proposition to do away with class B is
sure to be met with much opposition.
These riders hold an intermediate position
between the class A men, who are tho
simon pure amateurs, and the regular pro-
fessionals. The class B riders are in the
employ of the manufacturers and do not
wish to be forced into the professional
ranks.
Some of the executive committee think
that the manufacturers are getting too
close to the league, and they fear that the
cycle board of trade is trying to dominate
the wheelmens association. Mr.. Elliott
does not hold that view and thinks that
m manufacturers are good men for league
officials, and that the leagues connection
with the board of trade is valuable one.
This feature of the discussion somewhat
complicates the question of racing control.
With all these matters to consider, and
with the selection of city in which to
hold the next national meet, the sessions
of the coming assembly are likely to be
lively and interesting.
