CURRENT COMMENT.
A DESERVED TRIBUTE TO REED
(Sprlngfield Union.)

Sherman Hoar Democrat and an ex-
member of Congress, has told the men,
bers of the Boston Christian Union that
Speaker Reed was right in insisting
upon the House of Representatives acting
instead of blocking legislation by dila-
tory motions. This is tribute that
should count for something. He also
told these young mon that the Democrats
put the power to prevent dilatory notions
into the hands of a committee of five
because they hated to acknowledge that
Reed was right. Further he adm tied
that the committee of five was not SO
much OF a success as the Speaker. 1t is
time that the Democrats dropped the
Car Reed abuse and honestly admitted
that Americas greatest statesman was
right. Under the leadership of Reed,
under Reeds rules, the house has gone
ahead and accomplished something and
the people know that the credit belongs
to the Speaker. Now if the Democrats
and Republicans of the Senate will get
together long enough to adopt Reeds
rules in that body. Congress may be a
credit to the country, and the talk of
abollsh1ng the upper house will cease.
We elect our Senators and Representa-
tives to act, not to prevent action.
ANGRY WITH CARLISLE.
(Florida Times Union.)
Secretary Carlisle thinks it would be
improper for him to advise in the selec-
ton of Senator, so he says. Does be
think the people are all fools? He has
never thought it improper to interfere in
the interests of the single gold standard
Time and again he has left his duties to
advocate what he terms sound money
really gold monometalism. He refuses
TO advise the boiling members of the
Kentucky legislature to vote for Senator
Blackburn only because he wishes to see
gold monometallist, a Republican
elected in Senator Blaokburn's place,
and he would have been more respected il
he had told the truth about it,
The Democratic party never received a
de ldlier stab than Score tary Carlisle has
given it.. His example will be followed
by the silver men. They can knife as
well as the advocates of gold standard.
Wherever gold standard men receive
Dem ocratic nominations they will find
this out. The Times Union would like
to see the silver question settled for
Democrats in the Democratic party
Secretary Carlisle, however, is not of
that mind. He is willing to sacrifice
every Democratic principle ON the altar
OF the goldbugs.
Senator Blackburn may he defeated,
but he has future. What + Secretary
Carlisle's future? AS tayff reforner
what can he get from the Republicans?
AS knifer of Democrats, What can he
ask OF the Democratic party?.

1t will be seen that the first great diff
ference beween the expenditures of 1884,
So and 1s94-95 which is shown in this
table occurs under the head of City notes.
In 1S64-S5 there was expended under this
head $50, 0C0 and in 1894 95, 1924, 600. This
simply means that in 1SS4-S5 $S5. 600 of
the public debt was refunded and in 1894
95 1894, ooo difference of $14s. 600, and an
apparent increase of expenditures for the
latter year Of that amount. While this is
,.n expenditure by the city government it
is in no sense one of the expenses of the
government for the past year, any more
than the issue OF 5000, OOo, 900 of govern
ment bonds of the national government
is to be reckoned as enc of the current
expenses of that government for the past
year, Of course in arriving at the current
expenses of the city government for the
past year $149, 600 should be deducted.
The next item showing great difference
is under the head of temporary loan In
1S84-85 there was no temporary loan In
1S94-95 it was $3.50. 600. These temporary
loans are simply loans in anticipation of
taxes. To reckon them as.a part of the
current expenses of the city is absurd
This item of S250,000 must therefore be
deducted in arriving at the current ex-
pensss of the year-that is the COST of
running the government. In these two
items of city notes and temporary loan
there is Il total 1893, GOO which is in no
sense part of the current expense of
the year and is to be deducted from the
total of s1,3s9, 742.s s Deducting these
and the excess Of expenses for 1894 95
over 1SS485 is reduced to S9S, 1859. SO. But
in 18S4-S5 county taxes were $40, 399. 81
while in 1894-95 they were s44, 1885, 15-a
difference in favor of 4-85 of 1923. 995. 81.
In the same time state taxes increased
S2, 296. As. Here was an increase over
which the city had no control of $685.,
292.06. There was paid in 1S94-95 on &C.
count of the rebuilding of the High
school 500, 546 go which was not an ex-
pense in 18S4-85. There was also an ex-
pense of 81, 800. 80 on account of school
books which did not have to DO borne in
1SS4-85 because the free text book law had
not been passed. These items alone
amount to $57, 1928 65 and reduce the ex-
cess of expenditures over 1884-s5 to about
s4o, 600. There has probably been IAN
increase in the expenditures of the city
government during the last two years
larger than $780, 900, because there is now
less interest to pay than in 1SS4-S5 by
some s91, 200. To tell exactly how much
