DEPICTING THE TREASURY.

Inc republican party organs are
still precluded from Dragging about
what the new tariff is doing for the
treasury and are forced to contine
their Dragging to the great things it
is going to do by and by.
The returns show that during the
four expired months Of the present
fiscal year the expenditures have ex-
ceeded the receipts by s3S,O08,0lO.
This is mt the rate of more than
$1l4,O00,0OO for the year, or $4,000
600 more than In any year since the
disbandment Of the volunteer armies
after the civil war and over S7I,O00,-
600 more than in any fiscal year under
the tariff of 1894. ....
According to the corrected figures"
given BY the treasury bureau of sta
tjstics in the August summary the ex-
penditnres exceeded the receipts by
S69,9O3,26l during the last fiscal year
under the Mckinley tariff of 1890, by
$42,805, 223 during the next fiscal year,
which was mostly under the tariff Of
1894; by S23.2O3,264 during the fiscal
year 1895 and by only S19.O52 254 dur
ing the fiscal year 1S97-the last
wholly under the tariff Of 1894
But as above stated, the shortage
for one-third of the current year,
mostly under the Dngley tariff, has
been over S3s,OOO,00O, or more than
double the shortage for the whole Of
last year. Once more it is proper to
ask the republican philosophers what
has become of their cherished doc
trine that the only reason why the
country was not prosperous few
months ago was because the treasury
outgo exceeded the treasury income.
They now claim that che country is
prosperous almost beyond precedent.
How do they account for that when
the excess of outgo over income is
vastly greater than it was a few
months ago or ever has been since the
stoppage of the enormous expendi-
lures Of the civil war? Some expla-
nation is due to those who have been
accepting their teachings with i'm
plicit faith.
But, as has been stated, they make
up for the lack of boasting about
what the Dingley law has done by
much Boosting about what it is gong
to do. But here the facts do not bet
ter their case very much. The ex-
penditures last month exceeded the
receipts by S9,31O,O97, or only 1892, 155
less than the average for the four
months Of the fiscal year. At last
months rate the shortage for the tis.
cal year would be over sl11,600OOO.
Perhaps they viii tell us that it
isn't fair to assume that the deficit
will continue at the same rate through
out the year. II that we're true peo-
pie who persist, in season and out of
season, in attributIng a disastrous
panic and the consequent hard times
to tariff which did not exist until
IA months after the panic have no
sort OF right to complain Of unfair
ness. ....
Nor have people who for four years
preached the doctrine that the one
thing needed to make the country
prosperous was to take millions on
millions more from the pockets Of the
Taxpayers to put in the treasury and
in the pockets Of tax eaters and favor
ed tariff beneficiaries. There is not
the faintest semblance of fairness
about this in either theory or prac.
tice.--Chicago Chronicle.

Meanwhile the silver bimetallists of this country can hope, and while hop ing they can have the pleasing knowl- edge that the President has done the best he could for their cause, in accord- ance with this declaration of the Re publican national convention: We are opposed to the free coinage of silver except by international agreement with the leading commercial nations of the world, which we pledge ourselves to promote, and until such agreement can be obtained the existing gold standard must be preserved"
 Senator Wolcott, who has been named as one member of the commission, is jealous and powerful advocate of bimetallism upon the basis of interna- tional agreement He represents the conservative sentiment of the silver cause, while ex-Vice-Rresldent Steven son, one of his colleagues, stands for the radical impulses of the movement, and would favor free coinage in this country without waiting for the co-op- eration of other governments. These gentlemen, together with General Paine of Massachusetts, who has been chosen as the third member, constitute com mission which is thoroughly represen-
 tative. It possesses ability, character and dignity of the highest order, and its composition Is eminently fair and | free of partisan color
 | Even if the commission doesn't suc- | ceed in persuading the European gov ernments that it will pay them to take part in an international money confer
 ence it's report will be interesting and instructive.

TOO MUCH.

A narrowing report comes from Kan sas. It is that the Populists in the leg islatur were not devilish enough to suit the Populists who elected them and that the latter are now demanding an extra session in order to get their moneys worth. A Topeka correspond ent of the United States Investor says: The object of the proposed session is to Ego after" the railroads. It is very un- State that the law makers did not re- duce the freight rates of the roads of the State by main force, and the legis- lators have been unmercifully scored by the party press since their adjourn ment. The governor Is also in favor of getting in a few licks on the pluto- crats that were omitted through the ef- forts of the conservative members of the party at the regular session. So that with it all there is likely to be another siege of it. The preparation of the laws for the statute books shows that several of the bills that were passed by the session have been so changed and bungled in the clerks de- partment that they are practically something entirely different from the bills passed. This will be the object of an investigation that may show queer state of affairs for party of reform. The saving promised by the session is nothing at all, and the State will spend as much as usual in the work of the next two years.
 Two sessions of a Kansas legislature in one year would be too much. So Is one,

of everything else if she would change her corsets. A clever tradesman at once invented the new corset, but he found that the Roentgen ray idea was
 not helpful to its sale, though he insists
 that no woman who has seen a Roent-
 gen ray through herself and an ordi- nary corset can breathe a minute af- terward with that sort of a corset on.
 So he chose prettier name for his in-
 vention, and tells this story only to | those who he thinks can stand it.
 The new corset is short, supports the bust, follows the hip line and makes a line from the bust to the waist which l is rendered extremely flexible below the waist. You can imagine what sort of fitting can be done over a corset like | that. He says, too, that to get a Roent- gen of yourself is to at once alter your
 usual pose of body to one that gives your poor organs chance. It must be
 confessed that If women would only stand well they would not need to buckle themselves into such tyrannous corsets

It gives us pleasure to report definite action by the Board of Health. During the long and momentous struggle by that board over the selection of Sam itary Inspector it has looked at times as if we should never have a new San- itary Inspector of any kind, and at oth- CT times it has looked as if the best we could possibly hope for would be an Acting Sanitary Inspector. But we are favored, perhaps beyond our deserts, and certainly beyond the favor shown us by some other boards After some of the 'cutest and most sagacious man. euvering ever seen in these parts, and after two hundred and f1fty-seven ball lots, a real Sanitary Inspector has been added to our blessings. There is, un- fortunately, some doubt whether Civil Service has received caress or kick by the result, but 1t will not pay to in- quire too closely into that matter It is enough now to know that we are to have any kind of service. Hail to the new Sanitary Inspector!

 The wonderful "bateaurouler' which was launched at Rouen some time ago and was advertised as a world-beater has turned out to be a complete failure. This vessel 1t will be remembered, is platform supported on three pairs of big lens-shaped wheels, The revolu- ton of these wheels by an engine on the platform carried the whole structure along at a rate somewhere between 27 and 32 knots an hour-on paper. In the water it was different, and the best speed that has been attained after months of tinkering is under 6 knots. When moving at that rate waterNin enormous quantities adheres to the roll CTS and soon brings the engine to a standstill. Rubber scrapers pressed against the rear of the wheels were tried. They kept the water where 1t belonged, but acted, of course, exactly as do the brakes of car. Attempts to increase the motive power used added so materially to the weight of the ma chinery that the disks sunk below their centres and pushed both ways at once. The inventor still hopes.

THE MONETARY COMMISSION.

Answering a question regarding the prospect of the government sending out invitations to a bimetallic confer ence MT. Balfour said in the house of commons Monday that there was noth- ing in the situation which would lead him to suppose that anything could be gained by Great Britain taking the initiative in promoting an international bimetallic conference. There may not be an international bimetallic confer ence, but the commissioners appointed by President Mckinley will do their best to bring one about. They will have s100,000 to spend, and by the time they have spent that they will perhaps be able to tell whether anything can be done in Europe for bimetallism

A Corset With a Story to It.

The Roentgen ray corset is sudden ly adopted notion into which women have been scared. The story of it's in vention is that great professor-hor- rid old thing!-took a Roentgen ray picture of one of his patients who was nervous invalid. He took her with her street costume on, and we all know that the corset under tailor-made is stiffer and tighter than we ever wear at any other time. Well, the bones of the patient took, and the bones of the corset took, and when she saw what the bones of her corset were doing to her own bones she had a fit right there. The doctor, being smarter about curing fits than anything else, got her out Of the convulsion, and promised her cure

The total gold re- ceipts this year are $1,556, ,294; last year they were $S34,007. The aggregate ship ments of ore from Cripple Creek to the smelters elsewhere during March are estimated at twenty thousand ,tons, to which are to be added three thousand tons which were treated at local reduc- tion works. And there are no inHca- tions that this large shipment will fall off during the rest of the year. There are new developments of rich gold all the time.

Sir Julian Pauncefote, the English ambassador, didn't come to Washing ton to have England sighted. So he Insists on full recognition as a repre- sentative of the person of the queen, demanding the seat of honor at every dinner he attends. He would make an exception, of course. should he, by chance, be a guest at dinner where the president was. Sir Julian carries his notion so far that he writes, on re- ceiving an invitation to dinner, to the prospective host or hostess, and asks for a diagram of the table and list of guests. On one occasion recently he had to give way to the vice president and immediately let his hostess know that he was displeased.
