Among the opinions handed down by
the supreme court is one touching upon
the constitutionality Of the election law.
The case was carried up from Milwaukee,
where the democratic and populist con-
ventions both nominated the same man.
When the city clerk came to have the
ballots printed, he refused to place the
mans name on the official ballot more
than once. An effort was made in the
circuit court to compel him to print the
names twice, but it was unsuccessful.
The supreme court opinion upholds the
constitutionality of the election law
and decides that names shall not be
placed in more than one place on the
official ballot.

PLENTY OF MONEY.

Uncle Sam is getting money into his
purse and hereafter will pay his obi
cations promptly, as always, under re-
publican rule. A late Washington re-
port says: "The receipts Of the treas
ury are exceeding all estimates and the
officials admit that there will be an
enormous surplus at the end OF the next
fiscal year unless the expenditures
authorized at the next session OF con-
gress shall be far in excess OF the usual
amount. The available cash balance
now in the treasury is almost $500, 600
900, which is greater than it has been
at any time since 1888. There has re-
Gently been an unexpected increase in
the revenue from all sources. The GUS
toms receipts for last month were more
than SIG, 100000, against 81 100000, for
August, 1897.
"The internal revenue receipts for Au-
gust also showed an increase Of about
$13,000,000 over the corresponding
month in last year. 1t is anticipated
that the natural increase in imports-
tions during the fall and winter months
will swell the receipts, and it is now
estimated that there will be q surplus
in the treasury at the end Of the present
fiscal year amounting to about $780,
100000.
"It is now apparent that the receipts
under the war revenue bill will amount
to 100000 per year, although the
estimate was only s150,0O0,0O0.
"There will, however, be shrinkage
of receipts when Porto Rico is annexed
and reciprocal relations have been estab-
lished with Cubs. The falling of on
account of sugar and tobacco will amount
