Republicans have been doing little
nguring ON tariff with this result:
The operation of the Wilson bill as
compared with that of the tariff measures
under Republican administration, in its
bearings On the revenue of the govcrnmc nt
finds :; strong illustration in Il recapitula
ton of revenue by fiscal years recently
issued by the division of bookkeeping and
warrants of the Treasury Department.
Tie only time that the expenditures were
iii exf,ess of the revenue since 1856, was
from 1858 10 1865, which includes the
war period.
From 1866 to 1893, when, with the
exception of four years, the government
was in the hauds of the Republican party
ranged from nearly ten million dollars to
$i45. .543 $40 annually. In 1898 the eX-
cess of revenue over expenditures fell to
a little above $4,000 900, and from that
time to the present the expenditures have
been largely in excess of the revenue.
I'm 1894 this deficit, according to tie
Treasury Department statement, reached
$69. .SO3.26O.5S. In 1895 it was S42,Su5,-
223 is, and in 1896, So, BOB ,245.1O. This
excess had TO be supplied from cash in the
Treasury. In 1894 the deficit in the
revenue had to be eked out by $Td,024,-
Salts. In 1895 the amount required to
supply the deficit was SAB ,941 ,5S9.61, Z,
and in 1896. $30.536 1856. Total rev.
enue in 1894 had fallen off SIS, ,097,-

55a.6T below that of 1893. In 1896, $751;
643 ,42S. 40.
The total revenues since 1870 reached
their highest point in 1890, under the
operation of the Mckinley bill, during
President Harrison's administration, when
it was $4o3 ,O5O. .9S2.63, and the surplu,

SAY THEY ARE FORGERIES.

Results of the Expert Examination of
the Craven VIII and Deeds, Alleged
to Have Been Written By Bonanza
Fair.
San Francisco, December lex
perts claim that the ink on Mrs. Cra-
ven's contract by which she claims to
be the contract widow of the late James
G. Fair is about year and half old,
although it bears the date of May %,
1892. In the making Of the pencil deeds
three different lead pencils were used,
say the experts, and there are over 100
retouched letters in them. These are
two of the most startling results of the
examinations of these documents,
claimed by experts Carvalho and Ames.
Seldom. if ever, in the history of lit
igation. either criminal or civil, was
such energy devoted to inspecting ques-
tiCnable documents as that found by
the celebrated experts at the instance
Of the administrators Of the Bonanza
Kings estate. The pencil will was the
first to be scrutinized by the experts,
and in their report they say it Is the
best piece of forgery. The hand writ
ing, they declare, is a good imitation
of that of Fair. with the exception that
while the millionaire was in the habit
of using long terminals TO letters the
writer of the deeds unconsciously stop
ped short after completing the word.
The deeds the experts intimate, were
rather clumsily executed. Mrs. Craven
has never contended that the body of
these instruments was written by Fair,
asserting that only his own name and
the signature were done by Fair
But the most remarkable thing about
these deeds is that if Fair did not write
the body of the deeds he must have
made some of the letters and words in
various sentences according to the ex-
perts' theory.

New York, December 1.-THE last
letter that the Cuban Junta in this city
received from Antonio MaceO curious
ly contained an estimate OF the quail
ties of General Ruiz Rivera, who, if
Maceo had been killed as is now gen.
orally admitted. will succeed to that
insurrectiOnist leaders command.
zen. Maceo wrote:
Rivera is not only brave. tireless and
indomitable, but he is a great tacUcian.
He is a thorough soldier and has had
military advantages enjoyed by but few
of the men in my command. He knows
the map of Cuba Us well IS the oldest
guide and can hold Pinar del Rio
against the Spanish army for ten years
il necessary. His ideas of mounted
fighting have always met with my cor
dial approval and in these instances
where he has been compelled to think
and act for himself, he has shown a
coOlness, a wisdom and a strategic tai
ent even superior to my own. On sew
eral occasions he has converted defeat
into victory. On others when it looked
as il he and a small force were absolute
" shut in by a large army he has es-
capped without losing a man.
In establishing his post he has pick
ed out invariably positions that were
almost impregnable and which at the
same time permitted him an avenue
of escape in case the worst should come
10 the worst.
In storing and cOncealing munitions
of war and camp equipments, he has
shown q cunning that at times has
made me even laugh. I believe that
he could conceal a regiment Of horses
inside of a Spanish army and keep
them undiscovered a month.
He had a great record in the ten
years war and since that time has
continued his military studies and eX-
perience. He was a good organizer
and a good disciplinarian. and at the
same time is very popular with his
men. He is what is called Yankee in
his methods. being very careful of his
soldiers, cautious Of losing life and eX-
tremely strict in keep the weapons Of
his men in the best possible order Tt
is well 20 write you Of these things be-
cause at anw moment I am liable 20 be
killed by the enemy and some one must
take my place. II it be Rivera. / am
certain you viii have a general of much
ability and greatness"
Much Indignation is expressed by the
iunta over the announcement made
by ex-United States Consul to Carde-
mas S. p. c. HenriQues that General
Weyler. in gloating over the murder of
Maceo. had given authority to a band
of 500 negroes TO march through the
island and palliage and ravage every
thing they met in the way.

to which Mr.. Allen said that it was
meant mainly TO correct public reports
resulting from a speech by Mr.. Hoar
before the Home Market Club, of Bos-
ton, expressing surprise that 'Nebras-
ka and certain Of the other Western
States had lent themselves to a crazy
programme OF revolution"
Mr.. Platt (Rep.. Conn.,, said that
the proposition to reaiiirm the doctrines
of the United States Constitution was,
to use a homely term, "all clap-trap.'
Mr. Allen said this resolution was
designed to make clear the purpose Oh
the Popuist party not TO violate the
SANCTITY OF THE COURTS.
Mr.. Hoars reply, delivered with
much calmness, partook Of the nature
OF a rebuke at the suggestion that the
Nebraska Senator voiced the position
of the Populist party. He had suppos-
ed Senators entered this chamber TO
represent their States, not to represent
political parties. This was new and
grave change. The Senate was sup
posed to be above political parties,
which. after the clamor and heat of po-
litical contest, settled questions on
tn cir merits without reference TO po-
litical contests.
The proposed change was not con-
sistent with the dignity and the char
acter of the Senate. Mr.. Eoar dis
claimed having made illusions during
the campaign to the Populists OF Ne
braska. He had said that the advo-
cacy of a shifting and constantly
shrinking standard of value for the
currency was a passionate crusade OF
dishonor, and he continued to hold that
view.
MIR. Allen answered that for the last
four years, while he had been IN the
Senate, not day passed tnat parties
were not represented in the Senate, and
no one had been more active in that
respect than the Senator from Massa-
chusetts (HOar), who had fought ana
manoeuvred for party advantage.
What right had the Massachusetts, Sen
ator to denounce Nebraska for pas
sionate crusade OF disEOnCr, because
it supported it's honored and leading
fellow citizen, William J. Bryan, the
greatest orator since the days OF Web
ster and Clay, and the consistent adyo-
cate of a monetary policy In which he
believed.
lIr. PETER added a defense of Kansas
against the attacks prevalent in the
East that contract liabilities were be-
ing violated. He paid a high tribute
to the integrity of his State.
The resolution, with several amend
ments. was then referred to the Judi
ciary Committee.
