THE JUBILEE CELEBRATION
APPROPRIATION.

We sincerely hope the senate will
reconsider its action whereby the s10,-
900 appropriation to aid the counties
in making a proper exhibit at the
Jubilee celebration was stricken out of
the appropriation bill. In favor of
this action it was urged that the coun-
ties would prefer to have the amount
given to them for the purpose of max
ing and repairing roads. The roads of
the state are a most important thing,
and whatever aid the state can prop
erly render the counties in this mat
ter it should, but the appropriation
for the celebration should not be di-
verted to the roads. No one would
have thought of asking for this appro-
priation for the roads in the first in
stance. If it is a good thing to divert
half of the proposed appropriation for
the jubilee celebration to road-making,
why would it not be a good thing to
divert it all to road making? We have
no hesitation in saying that the coun-
ties will derive more benefit from the
money if expended in making a proper
exhibit at the celebration than as
though it were spent upon the roads
of the counties. 1t is sincerely to be
hoped the senate will reinstate the
$4,000, to aid the counties in the cele-
bration, in the appropriation BILL

THE TREASURY BALANCE.

The Philadelphia Times says, re-
garding the balance in the treasury
when Mr.. Cleveland turned the govern
ment over to President Mckinley:
Cleveland's first administration
turned over to the Harrison admins
tration, beside the hundred million gold
reserve, net available balance, de-
Quoting redemption fund, subsidiary
coin, etc, of $4S,096 las.
The Harrison administration turned
over to the second Cleveland admins
tration nominal balance of S24, 12S, 08S,
but if the books had been kept in the
same way as four years before they
would have shown an actual deficit of
S9,641,803, the gold reserve being i'm
paired TO that extent.
The retiring administration turns
over to the new a net available bal
ance, over and above the hundred mill
lion gold reserve, of $72, $50, 916, making
the same deductions as before.
Mr.. Gage has a very much less diff
cult situation to meet than confronted
Mr.. Carlisle to whom he has good rea-
son for gratitude.
That is all true, still it does not con-
vey 2 correct impression of the actual
facts in the case. When Mr.. Cleve
lands first administration t1rned over
to General Harrison's administration
S4S, O96, 14S, there had been no deficit in
the revenues, but an excess of re-
ceipts over expenditures. 1t was the
same when General Harrisons admins
tration turned over to Mr.. Cleveland's
second administration S24, ,0SS. Now
Mr.. Cleveland's second administrations
ST. $50, 916 turned over was not the re-
suit Of an excess of receipts over ex-
penditures; it was derived from extra
ordinary scurces-borrowing for dur
ing the time Mr.. Cleveland was in office
there was an annual deficit 1t was
not his fault, because it began under
the Mckinley law and continued under
the Wilson-Gorman Inv, while the Dor
tanning the gold reserve. Had there
been no borrowing for that purpose it
would have been exhausted very soon
seeing it was Mr.. Cleveland's policy not
to pay out silver to redeem government
obligations, which policy was that of
the Republican party also. Had there
been no debt created, the balance
turned over by Mr.. Cleveland's admin
istration to President McKiniey's
would have been a very handsome one,
but as the net increase of debt over
the balance turned over, including the
gold reserve, is about $50, 900, 600, it loses
much of its charm.
1t is worthy of note than the balance
$50, $50 ,916-turned over by the Cleve-
land administration to the Mckinley
administration a little more than coun-
terbalances the deficit during the first
fiscal year of the second Cleveland ad-
ministration, under the Mckinley tar
if law-s72, S25, 44S. 1t comes very near
being a case of tit for tat.

A bin has been introduced in the Hi
nois legislature to prevent six days

unlawful for any person, persons or
corporation to rent, lease, let or hire
any building, race track, park or road,
De they public or private, to anyone for
the purpose of conducting a bicycle
race not in accordance with this act.

The Philadelphia Ledger says
that President Cleveland's refusal
to approve number of i'm
portant appropriations and other
bills during the last two hours Of
the Fifty-fourth congress would work
most desirable changes if his success
sors should follow his example. 1t is
known to everybody that bills appro-
priating many millions of dollars, even
if passed early by the house, are de-
generally in the way of extravaganza
or something worse, and returned to
the house for concurrence in the last
and busiest hours of the session, when
there is no time left for their proper
consideration.

A satisfactory Proof.

Harpers Bazaar: In County Sligo,
among the hills, there is a small lake re-
nowned in that region for its fabulous
depth. The professor happened to be in
that part of Ireland last summer, and
started out one fine day for ramble
among the, mountains, accompanied by a
native guide. AS they climbed, Pat asked
him If ne would like TO see this lake, for
it's no bottom at all, sorr.
But how do you know that. PATTI?
asked the professor.
well. sorr I'll tell We; me own cousin
was shown the pond to a gentleman
one dav. sorr, and he looked incredulous
ike. just as you do. and me cousin
couldn't stand it for him TO doubt his
word. sorr and so he said, Begorra, III
prove the truth of me words, and off with
his clothes and in he jumped
The professors face wore an amused
and oulzzical expression.
Yes. sorr. in he jumped. and didn't
come up again, at all, at all.
But. said the professor, Il don't see
that your cousin proved his point by
recklessly drowning himself.
Sure. sorr. it wasn's drowned at all
he was; the next day comes a cable from
him in Australia, askin to send on his

Here is something for the citizens of
Salt Lake City to ruminate over, par
ticularly in view of the fact that the
electric light and gas company want
the city council to so amend the COM
panys franchise that it can charge
slips per 1000 feet of natural gas The
city OF Belfast, Ireland, has been max
ing large profit on the gas works con-
trolled by it. Last years profit was
e67, 377. 1t has been decided to lower
the cost to consumers, although the
present rate is ridiculously low accord
ing to American standards; hereafter
gas will be sold for so cents per 1000
feet, instead of 66 cents. and there will
be discount of from per cent to 20
per cent, dependent upon the amount
consumed; all this, too, with coal at
$500 per ton. United States Consul
fancy at Belfast has supplied the de-
partment of state with full state
ment of the cost of producing Belfast's
gas, regarding the subject as interest
ing to American newspapers just now.
