Chairman DinEley's Analysis of the
Treasury Figures.
Chairman Dingley of the ways and means
committee commenting on the official state
ment Of the Treasury Department that the
revenue for the month Of December was
half a million in excess of expenditures
and the deficiency for the first half of the
fiscal year less than fifteen and half mil
lions says that no one should be led to infer
from this that revenue has now reached the
expenditure point. The deficiency for De-
cember on the 23d of the month was re-
ported to be over two and half millions
and nearly eighteen and half millions for
the fiscal year. The revenue in the last eight
days of December was only S., 722, 2S6, and
the amount paid out on account of expendi-
lures of the government was only 81, 567 ,33332 33332
while the average daily expenditures of the
government are one million dollars per day,
including Sundays, or eight millions for the
last eight days of December. In other
words, five and half million dollars of the
cost of running the government the last
eight days Of December were not included
in the statement of expenditures for Decem-
ber, and will come into the January state
ment. The real situation Is made clear
" hen it is considered that the actual cost
of running the government for December
was about s30OOO,OO0, and that the receipts
were SIG, ,2SS,9S deficiency over $3,5OOOOO,
instEd Of surplus of half a million, as
shown by the statement.

following paragraphs:
The doctrine formulated by President
Monroe, and which has since borne his

American national policy that there is no
room Tor doubt as to the opinion of our

a population nearly equal to that of the
entire Union when Mr.. Monroe became
President. and our peculiar geographical
position, the location within our borders
or the American metropolis, and the vast
complicated commercial interests of our
slate, justify US in feeling an especial con-
cern In the present unhappy agitation. Any
disturbance Of the existing friendly rela-
tons between the United States and
Great Britain cannot fail to have a serious
effect. Because CT the possible baleful con-

bullion. In February, 1891, MT. Nc kinley delivered a speech at Toledo in which he spoke of MT Cleveland in these terms: During all of his years at the head of the government he was dishonoring one of the precious metals. one of our great products, discredit- ing silver and enhancing the price O. gold. He endeavored even before h-s guration to stop the coinage of sil- yer dollars, and afterwards, and to the end of his administration, persistently used his power to that end He was determined to contract the circulating medium and demonetize one of the coins of commerce, limit the volume of money among the people, make money scarce and therefore dear He would have increased the value of money and diminished the value of everything uIc SNSI else the servant In September, 1893, Mir. Mckinley spoke thus: The sil- yer product of the country, one of the most important we have, should not be discriminated against, but some ufan should be devised for its utliza- i ton as money which will insure not the displacement of gold, but the safe and full use of both, as exchanges among the people,"
 Such arguments as these may be l potent to injure Mckinley in the east and at the same time strengthen other candidates; but in the west where sil- yer is an important industry such ar guments are not calculated to recruit and strengthen them.

MKINLEY AND SILVER.

The Iowa State Register, a strong advocate of the nomination of Sen a,tor Allison for spreside2t, attacks Governor McKinley's views and record on the silver question The object of this attack, of course, is plain. It is to discredit Mckinley among the gold bugs of the east, CT sound money men, as they are pleased to call themselves. The opposition to Mckinley has been for several months looking for weak point in his record This, they think, they have found in his financial rec ord.
 This is the way The Register puts it: "The weak points in that record and nothing is to fbe gained by deny ing it has its weak po.nts-are few

HELP FOR CUBA.

The situation in Cuba is becoming more and more interesting. The &C., tivity upon the part of sympathizers in the United States has given the pa triot forces inspiration and encourage ment, and within three weeks several expeditions have succeeded in landing men and ammunition on the island. News was received yesterday of the arrival in Cuba of an expedition in charge Of General Co1lazo, a veteran Of the last war, three-quarters of a million of cartridges and 1,20O rifles, besides a number of machettes, re- 4 volvers andt general stores needed -ig tune Of war. The steamer Bermuda is supposed to be on her way to Cuba with another load of the necessaries of war. The Madrid authorities have come to the conclusion that a com p-ete blockade of the island will be- come necessary. The Spanish min lster of justice declares that the situ- ation on the island is extremely crit ieal, although he does not put it that way. At many points along the Allan tlc coast there are signs of activity, and the indications point to the ship me1t to Cuba of arms and ammuni- ton from several places. In connec- tion with such shipments it is inter- esting to note that the acting secre- tary of the treasury, in advising col leetors of customs to keep a sharp lookout for the Bermuda, says:
 "If vessel is carrying an expedition consisting of arms and men, in viola ton of title 67, revised statutes of the United States, seize her if she arrives within your jurisdiction. The fact that vessel cares a cargo of arms is not sufficient of itself to authorize a seizure"
 The suggestion here contained will be valuable to the Cuban leaders in the United States, and the method to be adopted henceforth will be to send men on one vessel and arms and am munition upon another vessel. In that way violations of the law, as in- terpreted, will be avoided. If the ship ment of arms ito the island continues it is reasonable to expect that within 8 short time there will be some startling news from Cuba. It is not so much men that is needed as arms and ammu- milton for the men already in the field General Weyler's campaign of proc lamations has been a dismal failure thus far, yet he denies that he intends to resign. If there has been any doubt heretofore as to the existence of aetua war in Cuba that doubt should be re- moved by this time. The United States senate in dallying With the Cuban resolutions is making a mis. take. It should pass resolution ac. knowledging the belligerent rights O. the Cubans, and let it go at that There is no need to make any indirec threats, as such course would bt foolish.

You need blood purifier. We make this assertion with confidence because it is a fact that there is scarcely one person in ten thousand whose blood is free from humors, scrofula, acids, or some taint, either hereditary or ac- quired. Pimples, boils, blotches, erup- tions are not the only indications. De- bility, lack of energy, depression of spirits, loss of appetite, rheumatic pains, poor sleep, headache, dizziness specks floating before the eyes, and many other symptoms plainly indicate the need of thorough cleansing of the blood. The longer you delay, the more difficult will be the cure. The medicine to take is Ayers Sarsaparilla and tile time to begin is now. Con tinue to take it through March, April and May, or until you feel that health and strength are fully restored, which will be when all those painful and troublesome symptoms are entirely re- moved. The young, the old, the mid dle-aged alike need the potent, but benign influence of Ayers Sarsapa- rilla, the best of blood medicines.

Along the western horizon the sun is sinking low, And paints the rugged mountains dn -softest ermine glow. The White Tanks fringed with purple glance past the hills near by, While from the eastern horizon the lofty peaks reply. And as the shades are deepening from Ightest pink to blue The Comeback lies sleepily, shed with the rosy hue. And Superstition mountain where wealth and ore are found Looks calmly at the dying sun. whose last beam sheds around. How beautiful the colors, how grandly does she die; Her lofty brown pail bearers-the mountains and the sky. Her every breath recorded deep in the evening glow, Where in the rugged mountains the sun is sinking low.
