Congressman Grow, of Pennsylva
MA, speaking in the House of Repre-
sentatives in reference to the defici
ency of revenue under the present
tariff, after quoting from the Presi-
dents message the figures showing
receipts and expenditures for the ifs
cal year ending June 80. 1896, said:
THUS, ii seems that the expenditures
of the government for the last fiscal
year, closing June 80, 1895, were in
round numbers S25, 900. 900 more than
the receipts. The year preceding the
deficit was S45, 900, 900 in round num-
bers By the monthly statement sent
us by the secretary of the treasury the
expenditures of the government
since July l, 1895, to December l, the
present month, have been $40, $40. 453
more than its receipts. These three
items of deficiency in revenue run
through two years and five months,
yet the President makes no recon-
mendation as to any mode of increas-
ing the revenues of the government,
but simply assures us that no deficit
that has occurred or may occur need
excite or disturb us. \ very placid
mood for the executive of the repub
lie while its annual expenses have ex-
ceeded its receipts about an average
of $50, 900, 600 year during the time
l,o hn.

DlNGLFN BILL MAY PASS.
senator Hale Says Republicans Have
Not Abandoned It,

senator Hale Says Republicans Have
Not Abandoned 1t.
Il have never had any doubt. said
Senator Hale to a Washington Post re-
porter, 'that it Will be both sound legis-
lstion and good republican politics to
pass, at the present session, the Dinghy
bill as sent by The House to the Senate,
and l am earnestly in favor of max ing
every effort to do this between now and
the 4th OF March. My colleague, Mr..
Frye. agrees with the fully i'll this.
There Is no truth in the reports so
persistently disseminated through the
country that the republicans, in their
caucus Tuesday, determined to abandon
the measure. Nothing OF the kind WAS
decided upon, and / have no doubt the
general sentiment OF republican sens-
tors is in l.>vr Of the passage OF the
D!ngey ui!l.
This WAS proved Wednesday by the
almost >v,td repu aiicsn vote IN favor Of
Senator Aliens motion to take up the
bill, Though tina: senator's undou hted
purpose was to hring he silver ques ion
before the body, as the free silver propo-
sition is the one first before the Senate
as a part OF the bill. having been reported
from the finance committee at the last
session, W hen il was found that the re-
publicans had los; the control of the
committee, Senator Jones, OF Nevada,
free silver republican, voting with the
democrats against reporting the Dingley
bill and in favor of the free silver propo-
sition.
In taking part in he debate yesterday,
which was brief, ! endeavored to show
that, while the republicans could not at
tempt d general revision of the tariff at
this session, we are ready and DESTROYS of
coming TO vote ST once on the PROPOSE
tions contained in the House bill, leaving
the general consideration of the tariff
for action at an extra session, which
will. no doubt be called in March, and
when the republicans hope to have a
clear majority 10 pass a sound, moderate
protection measure.
Tine whole trouble arises from the
present complexion of the Senate, aud it
by no means follows because the repub-
licaus who remain true will all vote for
the House bill that they Will be joined by
either enough silver men or sound
money democrats 10 carry the measure.
"ReckonIug the democrats and the old
silver senators and the six repu blican
seceders, who left US i'll the campaign
the republicans are left in q hopeless
minority, and there are, thus far, no in
dicstions OF any accessions to the repuo-
lican forces in the direction of passing
the House bill, and our friends every
where ought to take notice of this and
to realize that while everything will be
done that can be done to put the Ding
| ley bill on the statute book, we are ut
terly unable to do this without accessions
/ from the OF her side"

What strange power there is in
silence. How many resolutions are
formed, how many sublime conquests
effected, during that pause when the
lips are closed, and the soul secretly
feels the eye of her Maker upon her!
They are the strong ones of earth who
know how to keep silence when it is a
pain and grief unto them, and who
give time to their own souls to wax
strong against temptation. Emerson.

Seems as If consumption always picks out the
brightest and best. Fully one-slxth of all the
deaths that occur in the world are caused by
consumption. Many things were once consid.
cred impossible. Ii would be strange II medi-
cal science did not make some progress. The
telegraph and telephone, the photograph, the
electric hght-au were once impossible. and
once 1t Was impossible 10 cure consumption.
That was before the time of DR.. Pierces Golden
Medical Discovery. Taken according to direc.
tlons, this standard remedy will cure y per
cent. of all cases of consumption. Consume
ton Is caused and fostered by impurity in the
blood. II Is cured by purity and richness In
the bloOd-surety, certainly cured by the Mel
ical Discovery. Ii builds up solid healthy

No event of the distressing war in
Cuba has SO aroused the Indignation
of the civilized world as the reported
ambuscading and assassination of
Gen. Maceo. OF course the Spanish
vehemently and authoritatively deny
the story; they admit his death, and
claim 1t occurred lin loyal fight at
Punta Brava". But Maceo dead may
prove more powerful factor in the
cause of Cuban liberty than Maceo
living.

Maine has produced two able heads of
the treasury department, which might be
used precedent for the Offering OF
that portfolio to Chairman Dingley, of
the ways and means committee.
SO thinks the Washington Post, and so
think we. William Pitt Fessenden, who
lost his prestige with the repu blican party
by voting in the Senate against the i'm
parchment of Andrew johnson, proved a
very competent man as secretary of the
treasury, did Hugh Mccullough.
who was a native of Maine, but APP
pointed from Indiana.
But the Post thinks that il the posi-
ton were offered him, there is dou bt
as to w neither Mr.. Dingley would accept
Many of his friends are inclined to be-
lieve that he would. However, 1t is not
easy to secure crack cabinet timber out
of the Maine field, for members OF Com
gress from that State are practically
chosen for life II they care to retain the
office.
'Maine Congressman are not harassed
by ambitious candidates, who are active
in urthering their own interest while he
incum bents are absent in Washington.
! They have no care to take OF their fences
and the honor OF seat in Congress is en-
HANGED as it is made more permanent.
Senator Hale has twice declined cab
met office. He could have entered Hayes
ca bnet, but the members Of that cabinet
are long ago forgotten, and the senator
showed his foresight in waiting for the
larger honors that were in store for him.
MIR. DingIey would retain the second
place of Importance in the next House as
chairman of the committee on ways and
means, and has the advantage of being in
close touch with the incoming admjnis-
tratiou, perhaps As much so as any other
member OF the present House. Probably
not few of his constituents would look
upon such place rs by no means inferior
To seat in the Mckinley cabinet"

The winter fishermen whose fingers
have been itching for chance to drop
their lines through holes in the ice at
Green Lake this winter, seem in fair
way to be disappointed. The Bangor
men and others owning cottages at the

have The law prohibiting winter fishing
at the lake renewed for another term of
years early in the coming session of the
State legislature. The State fish and
game commissioners have received letters
from different parties regarding the pro-
posed restriction, and to give everybody
a chance to be heard, they will give a

that he had been murdered. and his
