WISCONSIN DEMOCRATS.
The State Democratic Committee win Meet at the old Plankinton
 House this Afternoon.

MILWAUKEE. Wis, May 12.-Mem- bers of the State Democratic Com mittee have arrived for the meeting which will be held at the Plankin- ton House this afternoon to fix a date for the Democratic Convention The question of selecting a time and place for the convention, however. is completely overshadowed by the interest attached to the question of the chairmanship. Mr. Wall, the present chairman who has handed in his resignation, will either an- nOunce that he must be released from the cares of the office or else inform the committee that he has recOnsidered his determination to resign. He has been earnestly solici- ted by friends, including many of the Wisconsin congressional delega tion, to retain the chairmanship and con duet the coming campaign. Should he persist in his determination, how ever, and his resignation be accepted, it will result i'll q bitter contest for the chairnanship among leading Wisconsin Democrats who have long coveted the honor of heading the State Committee.

Don M. Dickinson's Reply to Senator
 Vest and Others.


 The Detroit Evening News Of the 9th publishes m interview with Don NJ. Dickinson, replying to the strict ures of Senator Vest and other free silver men as to the alleged corrup- ton of the late Democratic State convention by office holders. Mir. Dickinson denies that Mir. Stevenson (Dickinson's law partner) or any body else issued any circulars to office holders in connection with the convention. Through free silver Congressman, he says, free silver men were put in all the offices of their districts and In both county and State conventions outnumbered the

 You were in the Union army said the stranger, glancing at a button on Wyman's lapel. Where did you serve?"
 VI was in the First Wisconsin Heavy Artillery, and put in a good share of the time guarding the big bridge over the Green River in Kentucky" Answered the North erner.
 You did! l twice helped to blow up that bridge, and was there when the third attempt, which you fellows stopped, was made. It was a black night in winter when we went up the third time. There was only a few of us, but enough to do the work if it were done quickly, and we could pass through the Federal piekets. We reached a point ,0GG yards south of where we thought yonr picket line was, and was sent forward alone to locate the line and find some place through which we could pass. l walked along freely until 1 thought I ought to take some care, and then i dropped to my hands and knees and went that  way for a while. It was so dark l could see absolutely nothing. All at once | struck dry bush and snapped q stick under my khee at the same time. And then 0 rifle shot came froE. picket not twenty yards away and my right arm was broken ty the ball. The fellow had fired at the noise and made a good shot. 1t alarmed the guard, and our third attempt to blow up the bridge was failure. Were you there then?'
 "Yes, said Wyman, 'I am the man who shot you. I never saw you, but heard the moving of the bush and the breaking the twig. After l shot you walked straight to the right for about ten yards and then ran back for your command. ;"
 "That did exactly" said the Southerner.
 We found your tracks in the sand the next day. I did not know hit you. l am glad I did not kill you, and Pm mighty glad to see you"
 Then they shook hands and took up the Journey together.

others two to one. According to the law, he says, the places of delegates could not be filled by proxies, az stated by Mr Vest. The l6 to men never had a majority of the delegates elected and the talk of the use of money is "pure and unadulterated islander and libel"
 If any money was used, says Mr. Dickinson, it was in behalf of free silver syndicate, organized and ex- isting outside of the State and fur nishing money to carry on the cam paign In this State. In conclusion, he says:
 "I am proud to say that the party in thls State is properly represented by it's delegation to Chicago, and is in favor by an overwhelming major ity of maintaining the pledges of the Congress on this question, made whenever there has been silver legis- lation, since 1873, that the policy of this government is to maintain the parity of the metals. Our party will not favor repudiation in any form or take any chances of favoring a policy that by any probability would lead to repudiation. The Chicago convention will not favor the policy of free coinage at the ratio of l6 to l .''

that it illustrates in the most forcible

they do nothing In forestry. They do,
however, support a pleasant family,

the Immediate Future Promises Very
Little Improvement
Associated Press Special Wire.

WASHINGTON, July 1.-The compar-
alive statements of the government re-
ceipts and expenditures issued by the
treasury today shows total receipts
from all sources during the fiscal year
just closed to have been 1926, 1S9, 226. and
the expenditures 1852, 2S1, 47O, which leaves
a deficit for the year of 26.042,24 AL
though there was a surplus for June Of
s., 349, 430, 1t is expected that the figures
for July will show a deficit of at least
$40, 0O0, 900, and probably more. The APP
preparation of S., 000, 900 for sugar bounty
payment Is now available, and it is the
expectation that all of the claims will
have been settled and paid before the
end of the month. During July the pay
ments on account of interest, pensions
and naval appropriations will be eX-
ceptionally large, so that the deficit for
the month is likely to be above sl0.0Oo.-
900, rather than less. The showing for
the year is far from satisfactory to the
treasury officials. and what is equally
quieting is the fact that the immediate
future promises nothing better.
The receipts from internal revenue
during the year amounted to S146, sos. 264.
nearly S11, 900 less than the secreta-
rvs estimates sent to congress. The
customs yielded s160, 5343 51, or s11, 465, 64s
less than the secretary's estimates. The
total receipts for the year, however.
showed a gain of about S12,SO0,OO0 over
1895. The customs insreased about S.
250.000 the internal revenues about 49,
00O, 900 The receipts from miscellane
Gus sources made up the balance.
The pension payments during the year
amounted to $139. 434 .046, a reduction Of
nearly 100000 from last years pay
ments.
The interest payments during the year
increased over $4.250,000.
WORK WILL BEGIN.
WASHINGTON, July 1.-The begin
ming of the new fiscal year having put
at the disposal of the navy department

orders have gone forward for the i'm

THE STATE UNIVERSITY

The authorities of the state university
at far-aWay Berkeley are considering
ways Of getting nearer the people. The
distance between the Berkely magnates
and the people of Southern California is
80 great that there is ample field for
maneuvering in it. 1t is certainly pleas
ing to hear that at last this distance is
realized and that a remedy is being
sought. Southern California has de-
rived but small benefit from the state
commissions. boards and institutions.
The California state government is in
proportion to the states population, the
most extravagant in the United States.
in Southern California we can add land
gives the least return for the heavy
taxes we bear" The insane, incompe-
tents and criminals obtain food, cloth
ing and housing better than many of the
taxpayers. But these things the people
can stand pretty well. 1t is the sine
cures such as that of attorney to the
San Francisco harbor commission who
does nothing but draw large salary and
do politics. or such useless institutions
as the state mining bureau, which has
has as much as $125, 900 in one aprpopria-
tion and given for it little service north
or south, that provoke objection. Our
own schools, such as Claremont, the Oc-
