Statement From the Lecture Club.
1t Is due the public that a
statement of the financial con-
dition of our club be made pub
lie. The total receipts from
Mr.. .Barker's entertainment foot
ed up to $50. This pays for the

is yet due for incidentals $500.
If all the members of the club
had taken tickets this deficit
would have been a surplus.
We feel sure that when this is
known many who failed
to attend will be willing to
pay for their tickets yet. Those
who desire to do so may hand
this amount to Mrs. James

A Misleading Report.

The treasurer OF the United States
has made q report. The republican
papers which publish that report head
It with glaring head lines as follows;
Government revenues increase over
fifty.seven millions for the fiscal year.
"Treasury in healthy condition at
close"
These head lines arc little bit
cheeky when we consider how that in
crease was made up, The treasurer
says that the receipts Of revenue in
cludcs over sixty-four millions received
from the Union Pacific railroad. 1t
also includes the money received from
the special war tax. When you come
TO subtract these immense sums from
that pretended balance it leaves big
deficiency from the ordinary receipts
OF the government. Tho report OF the
treasurer shows that the deficit under
the Dingley bill is growing greater, in
stead Of less, and that q special tax
and bond issue is all that saved the
treasury from bankruptcy, 1t looks
worry much like we would have to have
another bond issue next year. That
same interesting report shows that on
the 31st day OF October over sixty-dve
millions of public money was being
used by national banks in all parts Of
the country. The government carries
an immense surplus to loan to the ma
tional banks without interest. When
the treasurer reports $500, 900, 900 In the
treasury he lies, because S6S,Ooo, 900 Of
that surplus is in the banks. When
the bankers report 80 large surplus
