How We Are Running In Debt.

The annual deficit as matters are now
going Is something like $40, 900. 900 a wear.
But 1t being the policy Of the government
as at present administered to keep up the
gold reserve by selling bonds for gold and
all the money thus borrowed being covered
into the treasury as available assets, the
deficit of revenue is more than overcome by
the sums thus accrued. In three wears the
government has borrowed nearly 8 100. 600
600, but there is now in the treasury avail
able money to the amount of something
like 1915, 900, 900. Doubtless there will be
more Withdrawals of gold, but no matter
how much of the yellow metal goes out
other money has To be put In its place. The
ammunition OF the reserve does not dimin
ish the amount of money in the treasury.
but If the reserve continues to dwindlc an
other sale of bonds for gold will become
necessary, and the available assets of In,
treasury will be increased by that much.
The comparatively small annual deficit
Is thus easily overcome by the method en-.
ployed to keep up the gold reserve. There
fore the question Is very simple onc-aft
er the money is in the treasury are Won po
ing TO let it lie there idle doing no good :,
any one, or is it TO DC put in circulation
among the people for legitimate interna..
improvements?
NO matter what the politicians say, this
is inc common sense view of the ease. II
the gold reserve is 90 be kept up, we have
10 buy gold 10 do II with. After Qcttino
the money shall 1t be permitted to lie stag
nant as an unnecessarily large surplus. on
shall 1t be Employed

Future Expenditure.

Though the total amount involved Is
more than $40, 900, 600, less thnn S13, OOO,-
600 Is made Immediately available. and
this amount Is for two years operations,
as congress makes no appropriations for
rivers and harbors ut its short session
The remainder is to he spent during long
series of years by the contract system,
which is economical, rational and bust
nesslikc. The only sensible way TO carry
on these great works is to let contracts for
the whole operation and To keep them
going. From 20 to 10 per cent saving over
the old method is proved by actual expert
encc.
The argument is generally made that
tho government cannot now afford such
large expenditures because the treasury
income is not now equal to the outgo. If
you listen to the party men, one side will
tell you one thing about this and the other
side another. Those who are seeking the
truth generally have to look elsewhere than
to tho politicians for it. The facts, as they
appear to me, are these:

Evils OF the Log Rolling systs

1t Is true the army engineers are sup
posed 10 serve rs board of experts i'm these
matters. These engineers are for the most
part able and honest men, but they know
very well their recommendations are likely
to be ovcrridden by congress. The national
lawmakers finally take all responsibility
of the shoulders of the engineers and this
operates to strike down professional pride
and zeal.
Notwithstanding the evils Of the sys-
tenn, which has grown up just rs other
things have grown up in our government
without any one in particular being re-
sponsible for IL, the new river and harbor
law Is not n steal. Ii Is not robbery Ii
is not even extravaganza The wonder IA,
under such "a system, that IL Is not n worse
bin. i have talked with many engineers,
with members Of the committees and with
many public men about the items in the
law, and this seems 10 he the fact:
OF n total authorized expenditure of
S72 600, 900, 81, 200, 600 or SO, 600, 900 is for
purposes which arc open TO criticism being
designed for works which are not impor-
tam to commerce or to the people I'm any
way AS to some of these items, aggrcgat-
ing So 900, 600 or $4,000, 900, there is an
honest difference of opinion, and others are
clearly products Of the political and log
rolling system which controls this feature
of our governments operations. But as
to tho remainder, the great bulk of the
authorized expenditures, IL is beyond crit.
icism, devoted to works of great impor-
lance. The question, therefore, is n sim
pie one, Shall the wheels of progress he
stopped because some of the items in the
law are for works of doubtful valueY

appropriated In lump. All the details are
fixed by the experts, and the parliament
does not concern itself with them. Here
congress insists upon doing everything

result Is that many of these appropriations
are made for political purposes To help this

BRUSH CREEK MINE STRIKE.
The Miners Refuse to Have Furthel
Dealings With Superin-

Last Monday Superintendent George
Ogsden, ef the Brush Creek Coal and Min
ing Company, went to the mine to hold a
conference with the grievance committee
appointed by the men who struck about
two weeks ago A two hours conference
was held, on the conclusion of which Mr..
Ossdsn told the committee that he would
have to talk with the officers OF the COM
pany relative to the matter of higher wages.
On Tuesday he returned and told the COM
mittee, so the miners say. that the com.
pany would pay the men AZ cents a busheI
until the middle of January and cents a
bushel from that time until March 1. The
committee called meeting of the miners.
who voted to accept the proposition. Sub
sequently. according to the men. Superin-
tendent Ogsden fatty denied ever having
broached any such terms. As a result Of
this real or fancied wrong, the miners are
quite put out. They have instructed their
committee not to hold any more con-
ferences with Superintendent Ogsden. The
company must send some one else. they
say. They notified some mep whom tho
company have had working about the
mine digging coal for the engine and max
ing repairs, that they must not do SO any
more.

BIG CROWD AT ARKANSAS CITY.
From 5000 TO 10000 People Present
at the Reunion Yesterday
CORPORAL Tanner Speaks.

Arkansas City. Kas.. Sept. 1s.-(Special)
The attendance at the Southwestern sol-
diers reunion in this city to-day was by
far the largest ever known since the as
socation began holding its meetings here,
the crowd being estimated at from 5000 to
1900. The campers among the veterans
are larger. in number than ever before. the
supply of tents being insufficient. From
distant portions of Oklahoma and Kansas
thousands of old soldiers have been 1T
tracted by the certainty that they would
have the opportunity of meeting their old
friend and public servant, Corporal James
Tanner, ex-commissioner Of pensions, who
made a speech to the comrades last night
and another this afternoon. Corporal Tan
ner's speech was reminiscent in character
and at times highly eloquent and without
partisan coloring. At no time since the
reunion opened has any speaker, not even
the brilliant ex-senator ingalls,. who occu-
pied the platform yesterday afternoon, sue
ceeded In elicfting the enthusiasm 4: nd
arousing the sympathies of the veterans in
a degree equal to Corporal Tanner. AR.
Tanner left here this evening and will
make three speeches this week in Kansas
in the interest of the Republican national
ticket.

JAMIsoN AND BROWN.
Comparison of the Work Done by
Each as Prosecuting Attorney.


An evening paper has seen fit. for rea-
sons of its own. to persistently attack Pros
ecuting Attorney Jamison, candidate for
reelection. The most frequent charge
made by this paper is that Mr.. Jamison IS
incompetent and fails to secure convictions
where they ought to be made. In refuta-
ton of this charge, Mr.. Jamison prepared.
prior to the recent Republican county con-
venton, a comparison between the first
term of his predecessor, Marcy X. Brown,
and his own term Of Office. This statement
was so convincing that it resulted in Mr..
Jamison's reorganization by an oyerwhelm-
Ing vote at the convention Tuesday.
The last September term of court Of
Browns first term Of office is excluded for
the reason that Mr.. Jamison's last Septem-
ber term has not been tried. The state
ment shows that out of 219 cases, Brown
secured 161 convictions. of which 100 were
felonies and 50 Jail sentences, reform school
sentences being included as felonies. be-
cause the prisoners were too young to go
to the penitentiary. There were IS ac-
quittals.
convictions and Al acquittals. OF the con-
victions. 100 were for felonies and 153 Jail
sentences.
The last year of Marcy K. Brown, up
to the September term of court. shows 90
penitentiary convictions. and IS jail sem
tences, or 81 convictions. and % acquittals.
out of 112 cases.
Mr.. Jamison's last year shows so felony
convictions and IS Jail sentences, or 1lS
convictions and "a acquittals, out of 1i2
cases.
During his term Of office Mr.. Jamison Sc
cured 253 convictions out of 2A cases, or Sc
per cent. Brown. during his first term,
excluding last September term of court
secured only 161 convictions out of 229
cases, or only 20 per cent.
The showing of the last year of each Is
even more favorable to Mr.. Jamison. Out
of 112 cases, Brown secured 81 convictions
or only a per cent, while out of 142 cases
Jamison secured 11S convictions, or SO per
cent. During his term of Office Jamison
secured 81 more convictions and had 10
less acquittals; while he had only Is more
cases than Brown.
During his last year, Jamison secured
81 more convictions and 1 less acquittal
than Brown.
