THE DEFICIT FOR 1896.

/
A deficit in national revenues is no
doubt q bad thing. a thing to be
greatly deplored. The deficit in the
! government revenues for the fiscal year
1886 amounts to S26,042, PA. Some ar
dent Republican papers are lifting up
their eyes to heaven in holy horror
and crying out what terrible thing
the Wilson-G German law is. For in
stance, we find the New York CONNER
cial-Advertiser crying out in holy hor-
ror that every new treasury report
brings fresh poof Of the humiliating
failure of the Gorman-Wilson tariff.
| During the past fiscal year the treas
ury deficit not only has exceeded $685.
100000 but the interest bearing debt
| of the nation has increased by $780,
! 000,O0O and the net loss of gold suffered
/ by the government is over $40, OO0 COO
/ Adequate revenue alone viii not insure
/ sound money, but without such a reve-
/ nue. it is folly to expect to stop the
/ treasury deficit and prevent a periodi-
cal issue of bonds and the constant
draining of the gold reserve. The pro-
lection of the government credit alike
with protection to American wage
earners demands prompt and radical
revision of the revenue laws"
| To add to the nightmare horror of
all such papers and advocates of pro-
/ lection, we frankly admit that this
same Wilson-Gorman law, that is call
| ed such a humiliating failure, produced
nj 1,a &c
SAC, 55S, 909.11. This makes the total de-
/ felt in the government revenue under
this law S72,6O1, 15S.11 That was the
work of two years
During the last year that the Nc
Kinley law was in force, the year 1894,
the total revenue derived from it was
| 1923, 664 ,360.S9, while the expenditures
that year were $780,, 1855, SOS.75, producing
a deficit of S72, S25, 447S6
That offsets the deficit under the
Wilson-Gorman law and deprives the
! deriders of that law of all their am
munition. But it is not a matter of
| congratulation to either Democrats or
Republicans that the one law has been
as bad as the other. 1t is a matter of
very deep regret that times have been
so bad that the government could not
collect enough revenue to meet its
| expenses. What every citizen of the
country desires is to see the govern
ment receipts exceeding the govern
ment expenditures. When it is other
wise all must suffer. no matter at
whose door the fault may be charged.
But when our Republican friends make
so much ado about the deficits under
the Wilson-Gorman bill they should
remember that people who live in glass
| houses must not throw stones.

fortunate as 70 secure this years con-

when there were so many other cities
that were competitors and Offering
every inducement, was much to his
credit and q. matter of congratulation
by all the state, as it will tend to give
it still greater prominence before the
nation. The convention having been
secured for this city, every city and
town in the state having an organ

boilers could accomplish nothing by
putting up candidate that they could
not accomplish equally as well by
sulking at home on election day, a
course that it is not improbable they
will take if the Chicago convention
dominates a free silver man on free
silver platform. Such being the case,
an independent Democratic gold stand
ard candidate is a superfiuity.

A BOLT ADVISED.

The Philadelphia Times almost goes
into Mysteries over the prospects at
Chicago. 1t says that it is evident
that the free silver craze" will rule
the Democratic national convention.
and that it means to assert its mastery
as ostentatiously and aggressively as
possible. 1t further says the conven-
ton will declare for cheap money. for
reputation, for dishonored public and
private credit and for business con-
vulsion that would cheer the heart of
every anarchist in the land. Then it
goes on to say chat it will not be a
Democratic convention. Such an as
sertion looks very like an attempt to
read the Democratic party out of it.
self 1t sees more terrible things that
will happen if the Chicago conven-
ton declares for free silver than any
medieval monk ever saw after an
orgie. 1t also advocates a bolt de-
claring that IF Democracy is to sur
vive and have any place in the future
history of American politics, there
must be a Democratic convention or
ganized at Chicago that will maintain
the honest money that has ever been
the jewel of Democratic faith in its
better days, and present candidates to
the people who represent fidelity to ma
tional dignity and integrity"
We do not pretend to say positively
whether or not there will be a bolt by
the gold men at Chicago, but if there
is, those who indulge in it should not
deceive themselves and hug the fond
delusion to their bosoms that they are
the genuine, unsullied, simon-pure
Democrats. They will be as complete

find il an easy task to show their city
councils the great advantage to be
gained by having them attend 1t
would also be a good idea if the may
ors of the various towns and as many
of their common council as possible
would attend. The knowledge they
would gain of a matter that concerns
every city and town in the state
would be OF almost incalculable
value. Some of the cities are already
taking the question up and have even
extended invitations to the conven-
ton to visit them and spend day if
possible. That shows the proper spirit
and cannot fail to be appreciated by
the convention.
BY all means the cities and towns
with fire departments should have
their fire chiefs attend. 1t is to be
hoped that the state press will take
this matter up and agitate in favor

uohARr's SPEECH OF ,ocEr rAscE

Mr.. Carrot A. Hobart, Republican
candidate for vice president, has been
officially notified of his nomination and
has indicated to the committee on no
tification his acceptance. He made a
very manly, straightforward talk. His
views are clear cut and he expresses
them without hesitation or equivoca-
ton. He makes no attempts at being
flowery or eloquent with the result that
what he says impresses itself upon the
mind as being the thoughts of a
man who thinks for himself and is not
afraid to express his thoughts. His
speech is very much superior to Major
McKinley's upon a similar occasion.
Mr.. Hobart devoted most of his
speech to the financial question, treat
ing of it before he made any mention
of protection, thereby putting it as
first in Importance, as it is. He did
not mince matters in declaring his adj
herence to the gold standard. He de-
! clared that gold is the one standard
among all enlightened commercial ma
tons. He practically declared that
were that An honest dollar worth one
hundred cents everywhere cannot be
coined out of fifty three cents worth OF
silver, plus a legislative fiat" Such
statement ignores the fact that the
monetary quality of silver would adj
vance its price in the market to its
coinage value. This fact is also the
answer to Mr.. Hobart's other state
ment that the commercial value of sill
yer is fixed by the markets of the
world with which the great interests
of the country are necessarily connect
ed by innumerable business ties and
which cannot be severed or ignored
We agree with the assertion that
this silver question is in no sense sec
tional, but not that it is in no sense
partisan.
All who have paid any attention
whatever to the financial question and
have noted public sentiment upon it,
will agree with the distinguished gem
tleman that it is of vital Importance
that this question should be settled
now in such a way as to restore conf
dence. He believes that that way will
be by the permanent establishment of
the gold standard; it is our belief that
it will be the permanent establishment
of the double standard and the free
coinage of both gold and silver.
What was said in regard to protec-
ton was orthodox from a Republican
standpoint He did not lay so much
stress upon it as upon the financial
question. The speech is calculated to
raise the Republican vice presidential
candidate in the public estimation.

TALES OF THE DAY.
Truly a HeIpn,ate.

The young physician was tired when he
returned from his evenings calls, but as
he settled back in his easy chair, and his
pretty wife OF only a month or two took
a seat beside him, he asked affectiona tely
And has my little wife been lonely?'
ooh, no. she said, animatedly, lat least
not very. I've something to busy myself
with"
Indeed! he said What is it?"
"Oh, I'm organizing a class. A lot OF
young girls and married women are in it,
teaching each other how to cook"
What do you do with the things you
cook?" he asked interestedly
"Oh, we send them TO the neighbors just
to show them what we can do. There's
one lodging house gets most of it. It's
great fun

over and kissing her. Thoughtful of your

The Utah delegation to the Demo
cratic national convention seems des-
tined to play a quite prominent part
Judge Powers has suggested what will
very likely be the tariff plank, and in
the fight for silver he has become so
prominent that his name has been
mentioned for temporary chairman.
He would make a good one. The
secret of all this is that the delegation
is thoroughly organized and in several
meetings that it held before it's de-
parture its plans were fully matured
AT Chicago it is all ready for action
and is losing 10 time discussing plans.

the governor of Illinois, who has just
been renominated by the Democratic
party for that office, is about AZ years
old. He was first elected governor in
1892. and became conspicuous by his
action in pardoning some socialists
who had been sentenced to prison for
taking part in the celebrated anarch-
list riots in Chicago.

as the leader of the free silver wing of
the Democracy.

Collector Warren, of Boston, is in
favor of the nomination of a gold
standard Democratic candidate by the
delegations from the eastern states at
Chicago, in case the majority there fail
to accord fair treatment to the gold
delegations or attempt to force a free
silver platform and candidate upon
the party. He believes that an indie
pendent gold nomination by the east
ern Democrats is the only method Of
preserving the integrity of the state
organizations in the east and of giving
tariff reformers an opportunity to vote
for a candidate who represents them
1t is high time that Collector Warren
was getting his gold standard candi-
date ready to be trotted out.

PH1LLIDA or HER WHEEL.

When 1 was a lad
Long ago, Is,
This simple lore l had,
Don't you know, ~
That every maiden fair
Was an angel unaware,
And ] wondered when and where
The wings would grow.
But wiser now am I,
A good deal.
Though I've sometimes seen them fly,
Yet 1 feel
They are something just between
Man and angel in their mien
Since my Phillida I've seen
On her wheel.
She does not show a sign
OF a wing.
But her figure is divine,
And the fling
OF her abbreviated gown,
AS she fickers through the town,
Might buy the throne and crown
OF kingl
No halo of a saint
Does she wear,
Such as Lippo loved to paint,
But her hair
AS when all heaven streams
Through the landscape of my dreams-
In such glory floats and CLEANS
On the air!
But not all for heaven She
Not too good!
Yet she's good enough for me
In any mood.
And if her dashing wheel
Took her even to the dell
1hither. too, I'd gently steal
Yes, I would!

THE SALIVA CELEBRATION ACCI-
DENT.

The terrible accident that occurred
at the Salina celebration of the Fourth
is very greatly to be deplored. AS a
result of it one little girl loses a leg,
and may lose her life, while another
may lose a foot, and still another sus-
tanned a very severe flesh wound in
the leg. Such accidents frequently oc-
cur throughout the country, but they
are usually pure accidents. This one
at Salina was the result of pure wan
tonness on the part Of man who was
firing an anvil. He persisted in firing
it but few feet away from where the
exercises were being held. The COM
mttee in charge of the celebration had
expressly forbidden the firing of the
anvil on the grounds where the cele-
bration was held. yet this man per-
sisted in his course. The committee
should have taken him and made him
leave the grounds, even if it had been
necessary to resort to physical force.
No doubt they regret that they did not

talk of lynching the man who caused

there is any law to reach his case.
