Mckinley law, were not only more

under the wise administration of the
Republican party, the excess was ap.
piled to the payment of the national
debt, and more than S260,000,000 of
the national debt was paid of. Not
only that, but the Republican party
turned the Treasury over with $107,.

ONE thing that helps to deplete the
gold in the Treasury is this: Under
the new tariff American merchants
are buying some goods abroad that
they formerly bought here. 1t takes
gold to pay for them. But the gold
shipment is not all; these goods take
the place of the products of Ameri-
can labor. Under this plan the
Europeans get more work to do and
the Americans less. No financial
system ever devised can help the man
who is out Of money and out of a

II Is difficult to understand why
Senator Hill should be so strongly
opposed to an investigation on the
bond transaction of the Democratic
administration. When Uncle Sam
is bamboozled out of ten or twelve
millions of dollars there is certainly
no good reason why an effort should
not be made to ascertain how the
hold.up was accomplished. -Blizzard.

SINCE the year opened 10000 Ital.

country, and $4,000 are waiting for
transportation at the Italian seaports.
Of the thousands of this nationality
who reached New York last week
several hundred were returned be-.
cause they we're without the few
dollars required to prove that they
\ would not at once become a public
charge. There is something wrong

grants, knowing that they will be
sent back if the laws of this country
are executed. 1t is hard to say what
a consular service is good for unless
it can impress immigrants with the
fact that they cannot land in Ameri'

lations.

One Explorer Suffers from Thirst, Anoth
er from Cold, Another from Darkness.
The arctic explorers complain of dif.
ferent causes of misery which they en-
counter in the far north. DIR. Nansen
says the thirst induced by the terribly
;rksome labor Of Safeguarding gave
him most trouble. Though the polar
world is covered with frozen water.
there Is none for drinking purposes
save that which is thawed, aI.d on the
march it Is almost impossible to get
this without hating to thaw il.
Other explorers complain Of the eff
fects of the wind and sun It is well
known that q very low degree Of cold
can be borne without discomfort so long
as the air is still, but the moment it gets
in motion it strikes the skin like the
blast of a furnace. It's effects have often
been described as precisely similar to
those of a burn.
The sun, when it is visible, is hot, and
aeels orad blisters the skin.
But perhaps after. all the greatest
eril and misery which confront the
polar explorer spring from the fearful
depression, mental end physical, OF the
long nights of 1000 and 5000 hours
Of gloom and semi-dar1ness. Under
its influence men seem to suffer Ike
plants deprived of sunlight. A week
or so will often completely change their
characters, and the enforced idleress,
universal gloom and bitter cold ccE-
bined reduce life to its lowest terms
and make it 50 miserable that many
have found refuge from it in insanity
