A Large Deficit Expected.

A Washington dispatch says;
Silver dollars are missing from the
strong box of the treasury and
may number many thousands.
Treasurer Roberts has emp Dyed
experts to count, piece by piece,
the Sl00,000,000 which ought to be
in the vaults. Recently the coin
was counted by the weighing pro-
cess, but Roberts will net give a
receipt to his predecessor, Morgan,
until he knows the full extent of
the robbery, which he suspects has
been carried on for some time.
During the present count trust
ed employee was discovered in the
act of opening bags, taking out as
many as he wished and making up
the weight Of the extracted silver
with lead. At the conclusion of
the count all the bags showed the
required weight.
Upon the treasurer's suggestion
some of the bags were opened.
So much lead was discovered that
a consultation was held with Secre
tary Gage and it was decided to
employ force of fifty clerks to
go over the counting in detail.
The task will consume SIX months
and will cost the government $685.

WONDER If the American people

WONDER If the American people
are now satisfied that England
never intended to assist in establish
ing international bimetallism,
She has positively declared that
she will not join an international
conference on the silver question,
thus affirming the frequently ex.
pressed opinion of the friends Of
silver. No one but gold bugs, who
knew she would not join ever said
she would do so. This ought to
be a convincing lesson to the
American people; it ought to show
them If bimetallism is ever to be
restored the United States must
do il alone, which she is capable
of accomplishing without the aid
or consent of any nation on earth.

REPORTED losses of large quanti-
ties of alfalfa hay in the ella valley
in the recent floods leads us to re-
mark the need of shelter for hay,
either baled or in stack. With its
productive soil and prolonged
growing season, the valley should
WELD enormous quantities ofalfalfa
hay of a quality to defy criticism,
If this were the case, its farmers
would monoplize the hay trade OF
nelghboring railroad and mining
towns. Do these farmers ever ask
themselves, why the case is other,
wise? 1t is not because so much
hay is non-merchantablc through
having been wet either during or
after having undergone the curing
process? In addition to having
the most careful treatment while
curing, hay should be placed under
cover even after bailing. The hay
damaged or absolutely lost through
exposure to rains in single season
would go far toward defraying
the cost of o roof.-Range Ne,es.

Boulevard loungers in Paris

ten men, correctly CARRIED all ex,

gravely ordered drinks, for, as
they removed their hats, each man
had painted on his bald head one
letter of a word, advertising a new
dramatic sensation. They were
arrested, however, for evading the
law that requires sandwich men
ana posters to pay tax of 81
francs, but they were discharged

HERE is the Inter Oceans idea Of
the public schools: II ought to be
that in the public schools the son
or daughter of the poor man can
obtain as perfect an education as
the son or daughter of the rich man
can obtain as the result of large
expenditure Of money. If the
public schools, counting the high
schools in, fail to equip scholars OF
progress toward the highest posi-
tons they fail utterly. Either
there must be given a chance to
the child of tho poorest parents to
acquire an education that will fit
him or her for continual progress
toward the accomplishments of its
highest endowments, or we must
have "select schools" educating a
governing class. The common
schools lie at the bottom of demo.
cratic government.

constitutional. This has been the
belief of the GUARDIAN from the
first time an exemption law was
placed upon the statute books OF
Arizona, which belief we have ex-
pressed in very forclble language

We do not believe that a railroad
is any more entitled to tax exemp-
ton than any other enterprise,

A country that holds out no greater
induoement to the construction OF
railroads than merely remitting
the taxes is not worth building

tory Is dead. He died at Glen
Cove, Long Island, Oct, 18th, af
ter an illness Of about five months.
Mr.. Dana worked himself up from
a poor, uneducated boy to Ameri,
cas- greatest journalist, one whose
name caused all other writers as
well as thinkers to bow their heads
in reverence. Mr.. Dano's chief
personal characteristics were d
fondness for a journalistic or poll
tical scrap of the most intense sort,
4 hatred of all cant and pretense
and tendency to do and say the
things that no one else thought of
saying or doing. He hated con-
formity and conventionalism with
a hatred that approached the sub
lime, and he never hesitated to do
or say what he wanted to do or
say because of the danger that it
would be unpopular. He cared
nothing for popularity, sought no
political preferment and remained
until the day of his death one of
the most unique and independent
representatives of American journ-
alism.

past ten years have been impressed
with the fact that future data as to
