The arbitration treaty has been re-
ported by committee to the Senate,
amended so that the Monroe doctrine
and the Nicaragua canal will not come
under its provisions and excluding King
Oscar as umpire. OF the six members of
the foreign relations committee voting in
favor of reporting the treaty favorable,
five were Republicans-M essrs. Sherman,
Davis, Frye, Lodge and Cullom-and the
sixth was an administration Democrat,
Gray of Delaware; while the four in OPP
position consisted of three southern
silver Democrats Morgan, Mills and
Daniel and one silver Republican,
Cameron. The prospect of favorable
action of the Senate on the treaty even
as thus amended is not bright if the vote
of the committee is an indication of the
feeling of Senators, as its ratification
requires a two-thrds vote. The make
up of the Senate is unfortunate al this
time.

anr2Rrp AS SECOND GLASS NAIL NATTER,

Treasurer of State Simpson makes his
annual report 10 which he shows there
has been an excess of expenditures over
receipts for the last two years, which
was made up from large surplus in the
treasury at the beginning of 1895. This
surplus was reduced at the rate of about
10000 per year. The surplus at the
close of 1896 was only about 5000, 900
and the tax of 90 from which the reve-
nues of the treasury must largely come
for the present year was at -
mills on the dollar instead of -,
and the receipts will thus be smaller
than for the former years. At the rate
of expenditures for the last two years
the State would be brought to face a
deficit at the beginning of 1899. This
ought not to occur. The legislature
must add half mill or quarter mill to
the tax and then should cut the appro.
priations to the lowest living point all
around. 1t is a bad time to add to tax
burden on the property of the State,
which in these dull times is already on
erous, but there seems to be no other
alternative even if appropriations are cut
to the lowest practicable figure. Many in
stitutions and interests are eamorihg for
increased sums of money from the treas
ury, but they should be compelled to
hold up until the State finances are in
condition to warrant increased support
from the government. 1t is not the
right time to ask for increase Diminu-
ton would be more in keeping with the
times.
