The Republican F allure.

The notable points in the state
ment OF national finances, issued
February |, are:
/. Increase Of debt, less cash in
the treasury, 12,5S9.171.
2. Increase III deficit during the
month, excluding Union Pacific
payments and receipts s., 9O1, 4S4.
3. Total deficit since July /,
1897, seven months. $51 sol ,S23.
This is not a hattering showing
for party that declared its mis-
sion was to provide sufficient rev.
enue to carry on the expenses Of
the government. and even nov per-
sists in the assertion that the mis-
sion has been fulfilled. The re-
publican leaders refused to recog-
nize the condition OF the currency
as a factor in promoting the de-
felt and insisted that in an in
crease OF tariff upon imports would
be found the remedy fer all national
ills.
Eleven months have passed
since they came into power. The
revenue remedy was applied by
congress in extraordinary session
and they refused and still refuse to
touch upon currency legislation.
Seven months of the Dingley law
has brought about a deficiency of
S52 100000, the rate increasing
with each month.
The republican papers. to mis-
lead the public, throw the pay
ments received from the sale OF the
Union Pacific to the credit of the
government, but the actual figures
speak for themselves and the at
tempt to deceive fails. The deficit
tor this month is expected to reach
SS,O0O,OOO, but the sale Of the Kan
'as Pacific, if consummated, will
still hold the alleged balance on
;he right side of the ledger.
The fact remains, however, and
s appreciated by all people of intel
igence, that the republican tariff
aw has faile' Of its elementary
purpose in that it does not provide
'evenue to meet the actual and
necessary expenses of government,
o say nothing Of its utter futilitv

THE Ohio state senate, republic
can, has approved the findings OF
the legislative committee, declar-
ing Mark Hanna guilty Of bribing
that body to secure his seat in the
United States senate, and call on
the senate to expel him. Now see
if there are honest men enough in
the American senate to clean out
that traitor, and see if Mckinley
will stand. Remember the Ohio
republicans make the charge to
save the party.

The Three C's Road.

A dispatch from johnson City,
Tenn, says:
The chances for the completion OF
the old Three C's" or Ohio River
and Charleston railway are excellent.
This end of the road was built to the
North Carolina state line about six
years ago, leaving gap OF seventy
miles between the state line and
Marion, n. c., where the southern
end OF the road has its terminus.
Before it was completed work was
suspended and since then each end of
the line has been operated to their
respective termini. Recently the
South Carolina end, operated from
Marion. n. c., to Charleston, S. c.,
was sold to the South Railway
company for $1,000,000. This
amount is to be put on the Tennessee
end of the line aud in short time
the original intention Of the promoters
of the scheme will be in actual oper-
alton. 1t is known that in the deal
with the South Carolina railway |
arrangements for through line were
made and such provisions reserved in
the transfer that will insure prompt
action on the part Of the constructors
of their line through. There cen be
little donbt as to the truthfulness of
this, as these facts were obtained
from high official Of the road who
has been attending to the transfer of
the road, and who expresses his be-
lief in the early resumption of work
On the Three C's." This means
much for johnson CITY.
