The June Treasury reports show a
large surplus in the treasury of the
United States, this time of more than
thirteen and a half million dollars in
excess Of expenditures. AT the same
time the customs receipts show an adj
vance of $4,000 900 over the same
month in 1896 This latter fact, how
ever, may be due to the volume of an
ticipatory importation. SO that while
all the nation cries out to Congress
hurry up with tariff legislation and
give US settlement of it in some form"
we have not had to borrow money or
issue a single. certificate or bond of in
debtedness, since Mckinley came into
office,

The very fact that all the Powers of
the world, With single exception-pre-
tentious and inflated Japan-concedes
the right Of the United States to re-
spond to the appeal of Hawaii affirma-
lively is impressive. Yet within the
national heart of all these consenting
Powers there is the secret hope that we
viii play the fools part and reject what
anyone of them will gladly take, and
more. they would gladly pay for that
which is offered to US freely.

The God of Russia.

The persecution of the Stundists and
Mennonites, who are in reality the Bap-
lists of Russia, and of many other minor
scots is not eXcusable. It's genesis, how
ever, easily accounted for. 1t is simply
a case in the nineteenth century of the
Intolerance which prevailed in the rest
of Europe in the fifteenth and six
teenth centuries. Russia sus-
tains alone the medieval uni
formity which allowed no Nonconform-
ity. And yet there must be an immense
liberation within certain limits, seeing
that there are, according to the most
reliable authorities, no less than 10 000,-
600 of dissenters in Russia. Restriction
of opinion defeats itself, for it forces the
development of heretical ramifications
with dollhouse rapidity. A tyrannical
and universal secret surveillance
blights all Russian national life. The
clergy preach so little-the great ma
jority never attempting in all their lives
to deliver a sermon-chief1y because an
unguarded or misunderstood word may
he so reported as to lead to severe penal
ties. At public meetings are prohibited,
and so ridiculous is the extreme to which
operations that nobody is at liberty to
give even a dinner party without the
permit of the everlasting politsi!
The police officer is the god of Rus
STA. If permission is granted for party
a detective must be admitted. Public
lectures are all but unknown, for the law
sterNly forbids them. Seeing that edu-
CO ton is rapidly spreading, and that by
the efforts of the authorities in this
land of endless paradoxes, it is manifest
that the elements of some fearful social
oataclysm are being abundantly and ex
peditiously provided. The passport sys-
tenn is an unspeakable determination, for
which there is not the slightest justifica-
ton, 1t puts travellers to the utmost in
convenience, and occasions constant an
noyance.-Contempor Review.

Rather significant is the news that
just as soon as General Weyler leaves
''paeified province in Cuba, the in
surrection breaks out afresh in that
particular place. This is Indicative of
the fact that the insurgents are by no
means whipped because when Weyler
with a powerful force is near, they are
unseen and have apparently ceased to
contend. 1t indicates that which all
history proves to be true, that the long
est wars, the most virulent and de-
structive, are those in which the re-
volted faction takes to mountains,
caves and deep woods. and fights from
cover and in small bands with which
an army cannot engage to advantage,
and this is what Spain has to contend
with in Cuba.

The Powers" in the settlement of
the Cretan question have assured
Crete a Christian Governor, but he
IS to be named by the Sultan. They
are willing to stand that But the
next proviso is that Crete shall annu-
ally furnish the Turkish army with
1000 soldiers. That is where the
screw hurts. The Cretans declare they
Will not serve in the Sultan's forces;
that rather than submit to that indg-
nifty they will die fighting in rebellion
Really, who can blame them? All the
circumstances justify their protest
They may live well enough under the
Governor the Sultan appoints, but to
serve in the army along with Moham-
medans is to the Christians the cruel
est exaction that could be put upon
them, for they know that at any mo-
ment they may be called upon to kill
their coreligionists and perhaps shoot
down their own families.

Unless the Christian EndeavorerS are
the greatest liars on the top of this
footstool then Sacramento is best,
broadest and heartiest in her welcom-
ing, of any community on the whole
line across the continent. Where the
Endeavorers stopped over" the peo-
pie of course had fine opportunity to
greet them and be hospitable But
here no train has stayed more than
thirty minutes. Yet at every train hun
dreds of uniformed hosts have greeted
the guests. There they have staid,
early and late in the smoky, noisy
depot, patiently waiting for trains. and
as they arrived the guests We're greeted
with shout, song, cries of God bless
YOU" and a hearty hand shake. Then
followed the showering with flowers
and the loading up with fruits, until
as one group of delegates from Massa-
chusetts said through it's Chairman,
Sacramento tops them all by the SIN
cerity, frankness and popularity of her
welcome" That is about it, Mr.. Shaw;
Sacramento moves rather conserva-
lively toward anything, but once her
people of any class get started they do
things clear up to the handle" as
the saying goes, and have thus gained
reputation for knowing how to en-
terrain that with all due mOdesty, the
Record Union" is very proud of as
one of the factors of city life at the
Capital. If only a few hundreds of
these Christian Endeavorers will come
up this way during the convention and
let Sacramento have a shy at them for
whole day they will learn just how
it is that the Capital City maintains
her high reputation for hospitality. The
truth is, in this city if a guest is not
much liked he gets small favor If
he is one we admire and respect, he
finds this people the most liberal and
hospitable in the world-barring none

TRADES UNIoNISTs.

Birmingham, Eng, Sept. 1.-The
Trades Union Congress resumed ses-
sions today, president Stephens in
his annual address said; 10
THE engineers strike was an in
stance of one of the best organized
and most powerful combinations in
the world being in the throes of a
great struggle with powerful COM
bination OF capital. 1t was certain"
he added, that the struggle would be
prolonged and that the engineers
would have to appeal for help
to the Trades Unionists throughout
the country. That help must be given
for under no circumstances could we
allow the engineers to be defeated y
(Grat cheering). The delegates then
unanimously and enthusiastically
adopted a special resolution, pledging
moral and financial aid to the striking
miners. Mr.. Pickard, NJ. p, president
of the Miners Federation of Great
Britain, in supporting the motion, said
all Trades Unionists should tender
eight hours notice and ''sink or swim
with, the engineers.

An Unidentified BODY.
Found This Morning With An Empty
Morphine Bottle.
Was Near The Lone Star Brewery.
A Clue To His Identity May Be
Gained By Some Clothes.

An unknown corpse was found this
morning on Grand avenue, opposite
the Lone Star brewery. 1t was first
seen by Florlan Quincy, engineer of
the city brewery. He Immediately
notified Coroner Phil Shook, who view
ed the body. An empty morphine bot
tie near the body told the story.
1t was the body of a man about 90
years of age. He had been seen
around the brewery the past few days
but no one seemed to known him. He
called at Schilling's saloon Sunday
night and left valise there. Hester-
day afternoon he called for the valise.
He was at Schillings last night at 8
o'clock and that was the last seen of
him. The satchell has not been recov-
cred. and it is not known where it is.
1t was full of clothes, and it probably
contains papers which may lead to the
mans Identity. A card of a Calves
ton boarding house was found on the
body. containing the name of n. IL.
Groboa. The body was removed to
Riebe's undertaking parlors, where it
lies, pending instructions. The man
was German.

considerably after midnight this morn

was closed. Up to that time although
the widest publicity had been given
to the Gelpi case and the desire of

existed a single case of yellow fever
in Nv Orleans.
The board of health will hold anoth-

regulations. 1t is understood that
there VIII be some notifications of the
regulations adopted yesterday quar-

cities. - a~
Every precaution to stamp the fever
