There is a wide margin between
recklessly voting public money in ex-
orbitant salaries and in maintaining
useless offices, and generously provid-
ing for the state institutions for the
blind and deaf and dumb and insane
and those of every unfortunate class.
The state cannot more perfectly dem
onstrate her advanced humanitarian
ism than by making the wisest pro-
vision possible for the unfortunates of
every class. The state solons will not
be condemned in any quarter for their
provision for the wants of those who
are thrown upon the humane care of
the state. 1t is not in the useful and
necessary appropriations that the
pruning knife is needed, but in the
creation of useless offices and the ex-
penditure of money for their maintain
ance.

It's Exchange We are Looking for this Time
A FISHY STORY.

The morning Express publishes, I'M
der the head of why Grant will not
Compromise" a very fishy story, Civ
ing as a reason for DR.. Grants conf
dence in his ability to handle the Fed
eral pie for Texas, that he has a COM
promising letter written by President
Mckinley before his nomination agree
ing to turn over the Texas patronage
to the doctor in consideration of the
Texas vote in the convention. That
the doctor has simply ratified this let
ter in his pocket and frightened
Mark Hanna and President Mckinley
into terms. All this is very imprOba-
BILE. In the first place President Nc
Kinley is too astute a politician to be
caught in such a trap; DR.. Grant is too
shrewd man to make public such a
letter, if it was ever written. That
Mr.. Hanna and Major McKinley's
managers made compact to take care
of the Mckinley men is quite proba-
bic, such are the usual understand
ings had between men who run cam
paigns.
AS the Express gives no one as au-
thority for its story it is not likely to
meet with much credence. DR.. Grant
would lose his place as a member of
the national committee and forfeit all
the confidence placed in him should
such story be traced to his door.
Some indiscreet friend or INSCRIPTIONS
enemy of DR.. Grant has nut this story
of the Mckinley letter in circulation.

GROWERS CRITICISMS.

The free trade wing of the National
| Democratic party dies hard. The eff
| fort of Mr.. Cleveland and others to
| discredit the action of the Republican
| Congress now in session, in its revision
of tariff, is amusing and of a piece
with the usual stupidity of the ex-
president. That the verdict of the ma
ton. as expressed in the late election,
was primarily Il rebuke of the tariff
policy of the Democratic administra-
ton at Washington, is we'll known to
the country at large. That this fact
has escaped the observation of Mr..
Cleveland is not surprising to those
who have followed his course during
the past ten years. His aptitude for
seeing the things that are invisible and
his blindness to the sights that are APP
parent to all others, are among his
prominent characteristics. The infal-
libility of his own judgment, in his own
mind, is one of the settled matters con-
corning which there never was ques-
ton in his own consciousness. His
utter obliviousness to the plain facts
of the case is amusing as well as as
founding. That he has brought the
country to the verge of disaster and
laid the burden of recovering it upon
the Republican party has never en-
tered his conception. Because his
mind was centered on gold standard
currency to the utter exclusion of all
else, he seems to have imagined that
the Republican party was brought
again into control of the government
to carry out his peculiar ideas of fin
anCe, and not to reverse the policy
that in four years added nearly three
hundred millions to the public debt.
Because this is not done and the Re-
publican party proceeds at once to re-
store the revenues of the country and
it's credit, Mr.. Cleveland seems to
think that it has forgotten its mission.
If Mr.. Cleveland will only forget that
he ever was president, that he has
bankrupted the nation may be forgiven
him, but so long as he attempts to in
struct the Republican party in its du-
ties to the nation, so long will his ig-
nOrance and incompetency be remem-
bered against him. 1t would be wise
for him to keep silence, in order that
his colossal blunders and his tremen-
dOus stupidity and Incompatible dog
gedness may be in time forgotten. This
however is hardly to be expected, for
the mind so swallowed up in the ca
paciOus nav of its own puffed up i'm
portanCe cannot learn from it's own
errors. None the less will the Republi-
can party accomplish the work for
which it was selected by the people
last November, and that is to revise
the tariff, provide revenue for the ex-
penses of the government and the
means of paying the debt incurred
through the incompetent administra-
ton of Mr.. Cleveland. AS he had no
advisors and listened to none, the re-
spOnsibility is all his own.

DO YOUR CHILDREN THRIvE??

1t is the business of children to eat
and grow. If you have a child that
eats well but does not grow, if its ap-
petite is variable, you have cause to
suspect worms. There are apt to be
other symptoms. Face is pale, eyes
are dull, sleep is broken, the child
picks at it's nose and is restless and
fretful. Use Whites Cream Vermi-

Wanted to Stay In Jail,

Recently Sheriff Kinney of Carson
informed a Chinese who had been in
Jail fifty days for selling whisky to
Indians that his time was up. The
poor fellows jaw dropped nearly q
foot when this intelligence was COM
municated. He was having q very
nice time in Jail with sure bed, and
three positive meals day. The idea
of being thrown out on the street with
u hot summer coming on was anything
but pleasant. He began to argue with
the jailor that there was some mistake
about the time, and that he had three
more days coming.
The sheriff wouldn't listen to him
and, taking him by the arm, led him
out into the street. The poor fellow
argued and begged and pleaded for a
few more days, but the sheriff was in
exorable and told him to get out He
told the sheriff of lot of crimes he
had committed that ought to land him
in the lookup for years and still the
sheriff refused to let him stay in Jail
another hour. When last seen he was
headed for Chinatown weeping like o
child. Carson New Appeal.
