already been collected from this source
over three times as much as wasS col
lected for the corresponding time last

THE PAST YEAR.
The Governor then reviews the
transactions of the State government
for the past year. He notes the fact
that at its commencement there was
deficit of $50, 900 when he came into
ofice-which, however, has been paid
off in full. The receipts, from all
sources, for the fiscal year ending Oc-
tober 81, 1895, were $1.971, 1892. 80, to
which is added $203, ,256.24, balance on
hand October 81, 1S94-making the

total expenditures have amounted to

the treasury October 81, 1895, of $272,-

THE STRAINED SITUATION.

The situation in Europe is very in
teresting at present. Russia is said to
be Fastening preparations of a warlike
character in the Black sea. Submarine
mines, shells and torpedoes are being
got ready for use in case they are need
ed in that sea or in the Dardanelles.
The warships of Russia in that quarter
have been ready for weeks past to hur-
~ toward Constantinople if wanted,
and now troops are being assembled,
it is said, for transportation, if needed,
to some unnamed point.
This is in reply to the Juror in Eng
land for intervention by force to de-
pose the sultan of Turkey on account
Of his alleged encouragement of Ar
menian atrocities. The English feel.
ing grows hotter and hotter daily.
Statesmen undertake to convince the
people that the use of force on the
sultan means war with Russia and per-
hapS all Europe. But statesmen, and
all agree that force ought to be used,
though they shrink from bringing on
war with Russia In other words, Eng
land, as respects Turkey, is like an
open powder barrel with burning
chunks lying around loose. A new
batch of Armenian atrocities might
put fire to the powder.

THE GOLD THAT IS COMING.

As was shown in our dispatches, by
Assistant Treasurer Curtis, day before
yesterday, the late flow of gold to this
country was not the work OF bankers
single or syndicate. 1t was in obedi-
ence to the laws Of trade, to a supply
going forward to Europe TO meet a de-
mand which is being liquidated in gold.
The importatiOns Of gold during the
recent movement have aggregated
nearly fifty-five millions Of dollars. ex-
elusive Of that received from Canada,
which country has also had 10 buy. On
the other hand, there have been with
drawalS from the treasury IN the last
six weeks-chiefy for hoarding-ag-
gregating some S4,OOO.OOO. Our ex-
ports largely exceed our imports, and
part of the balance comes In gold. The
higher rates for leans have also Undue
ed the importa ZION of gold. To small
extent the currency has been contract
ed by the lockingup of greenbacks
used in getting gold out Of the treas
ury. This also promotes the influx OF
better money. Our trouble all along
has been that we have had too many
substituts for gold in US as currncy,
with the result that when part OF our
money became idle from panic and
stagnation it was only the gold that
could be sent abroad to earn something
for it's owner.

pared with the corresponding registra-

the excess over the year of greatest
previous registration is about 4a,0O0.

A COMMERCIAL TRAVELLER REPLIES

End. o. T. Oct, Is. 1Ss5.
In your evening cctemportry of Oct y,
appears an anonymous article purporting
to be from a travelling man is in reply TO
an editorial il the Eagle of OcJ. Is. IN
which commercial travellers are shown
to be important factors 81 the present
campaign. As rule anonymous letters
should receive little or no attention, DIT
in this case the gentleman casts a refiec-
ton ON the honesty and independence of
the great commercial army when he says
Whenever travelling man speaks his
own convictions he IS for Bryan, but he
is like great many other men who are
forced 10 talk Mckinley TO hold his job.
but viii vote for Bryan The CONNER
cial traveller is uniformly brave in the ex-
preston OF his opinions and honest in his
convictions and very naturally resents
such a sfur- The author OF the article in
question underestimate the stamina of
commercial travellers in saying that they
will talk one way and vote another. The
Eagle was right in saying that large
per centage of commercial travellers are Cor
sound money. and We finod that with very
lew tsEcpN4OES lilS NIdSCAlAAS men WIZ a.
now supporting Mr.. Bryan are life long
Democrats and haters Of Republican prin-
ciples in general The Republican COM
mercial men who were caught in the free
silver whirlwind have seen the error of
their ways and have the manhood 10 say
so. 1 do not believe the author of the
article in the evening paper can name
man who Is intimidated into supporting
Major Mckinley.
As much as the reflection on ourselves
we resent the statement that Lincoln, Gar
field and Blaine, men who were the en-
bodiment OF patriotism. loyalty and nom
sly were ever guilty of advocating such
ideas of government as are now cham
pioned by Tillman, Altgeld and Bryan;
men whose every utterance tends TO
arouse prejudice and uphold the doctrine
Of reputation. Such a remark would
cause no surprise if coming from some
wild-eyed reformer, but from CONNER
c,al traveller, belonging 10 a class whose
is not questioned, ii is mex
cusable.
