ONE MILLION.
A Big Balance Shown In Slate Treasurer
KendaIl's Annual Report.

State Auditor Kendall last
week completed his annual re-
port for the fiscal year ending
September 80, 1895.
He also closed his biennial re-
port and is happy over the condi-
tion Of the States finances. Treas
urer Kendall declares that West
Virginia does not owe dollar.
The balance in the treasury is
81, O62. $50. 46. THERE'S no bond
ed debt. There has been added
to the irreducible school fund
during the year, $3.50, 53l.34. This
addition to the principal of this
fund is twice as much as was
ever before added in one year.
The State fund is larger than it
was year ago by 100000. The
fund at the close of the last fiscal
year was S247, 748.98, while it is
now 1924, 641.17. This fund is
the most ticklish one because it
can be utilized and twisted COM
pletely out of existence by bad
management. When there is
deficit in this fund the Treasurer
ustresort to borrowing. The
big surplus is not only a satisfac.
ton to the Treasurer but a high
tribute to the business manage
ment of his Office. The balance
of sl,962. $50 4s in fifty banks
throughout the State and is draw

Three DOCTORS In Consultation
From Beniamin Franklin.


when you are sick, what you
like best is to be chosen for a

Dr.. Experience and DR.. Reason to

they will give you the best ad-

When you have a bad cold DR..
inclination would recommend

The baseball magnateS have plenty of

and according 10 the tariff issued will be

ter. has been dealt. There is no longer any
doubt. even in the minds of those who at
first refused 10 believe that such discrimina.

But the injustice will operate for just two
days. Mr.. J. j. Fletcher. general freight
agent of the Memphis route. has announced
that his line. as heretofore. will protect
local jobbers in rates from the Southern
ports. Beginning Monday. the present New
lasscs, rice and coffee will be reduced s

Scent differential to which this city is en-
titled. If the action of the Memphis route
should precipitate a rate war, it is reason
able 10 suppose that this road could stand
the pressure better than the new line, es-
pecially as the latter would have an OK
cess haul for all of its Omaha business.
Mr.. Fletcher magnanimously suggests that
other lines that have been Relating. or have

Genius and Soap.

From the Atlanta Constitution
There was a sign nailed to the door OF
TIE business office which attracted general
attention, and yet, at a casual glance.
there did not appear to be anything re-
markabIe about 1t. 1t simply said:
"wANTED-A good business poet. Good
salary TO the right party. Apply Within"

manager. I'VE want just what 1t says-A

but a fellow with grit and get-up in his
composition"
And what do you want with him?" he
was asked.
"a good DEAL replied the manager.
Were manufacturing a new brand OF
soap. and to compete with others we've got
to nave poetical advertisements that will
catch the public ear. The last poet We en-
plcyed was a dreamer. and wrote odes to
our soap which were too classic to be pop
ular. What We really need are brisk
catchy couplets like this:

road had not desired to give Omaha an
advantage over Kansas City there were
ways by which such discrimination could
have been avoided.
1t is a fact that the Illinois Central rail-
road has threatened for a long time to
make Kansas City rates from the Gulf ap-
ply to Sioux City, and 1t has been by the
dint of much careful manipulation on the
part of associated lines that this rate has
not been put in. Yet even this outside line.
Kansas City, has been prevailed upon to
preserve a just differential. 1t remained
for a home road to put in the low rate to
q competitive point. and thereby display
a spirit of disloyalty as unjust and indie
feasible as it is surprising.

Gimme Liberty: Says Mr.. Clark.

From the Chicago News.
The offer bravely and humanely extended
by Representative Clark. Democrat. of Mis-
souri,. to the Republican majority of the
house to help them organize a relief ex-
pedition for the noble purpose Of rescuing
themselves from the iron bands of Messrs.
McKinIey's and Reeds tyranny is certainly
worthy Of praise.
Mr.. Clark tells the Republicans that II
they will break away and come over where
he and the other free Democrats and Pop
ulists are he will defend them TO his last
drop of blood; and it is understood that the
Republicans have been so far moved as to
consider calling a caucus for the purpose of
taking the offer under Amusement.
Whether or not MI. Clark's heroic offer
meets with f~ruition, the example is laud-
able and the object of his gallant benevo-
lence should engage the attention Of all
humane members of congress.
Why should Mr.. Mason and Mr.. Mills and
others fret about the Cubans when right at
their sides are scores and hundreds of fell
l~ow-countrymen cringing under the dread
full rule of a ruthless tyranny. Why de-
sire that battleships be sent to Havana
when a few gunboats trained on the White
House and the hotel of T. B. Reed, of
Maine. might accomplish more in the way
of liberty than a whole squadron could in
the Antilles?

PRESIDENT M,KINLEY On CURRENCY

1t WAS natural to suppose that in address,
ing the National Association of Manufac-
turers President Mckinley would have TAX
en- the tariff as his theme. But the presi-
dent talked on another subject. not because
the tariff had lost Importance either to him
or to his audience. but for a different and
more satisfactory reason.
On entering the White House last March
Mr.. Mckinley promptly set about undoing
the foliies of Il free trade administration
and restoring protection to home industries.
The work was prosecuted with such visor
and determination that it was soon fin
ished. The tariff was revised and the
question settled; and the great revival of
industry and the employment of hundreds
of thousands Of idle workingmen are SUBJ
stantial evidence that it was settled right.
The tariff being settled. the president is
now addressing himself to the next i'm
portant plank of the Republican platform
the currency. All business men. includ-
ing manufacturers, are interested in the
currency question. They all want it set
tied. and settled IN a way that will re-
move the faults and embarrassments of the
existing systems and give business inter-
ests greater convenience and security. If
both the tariff and the currency can be sat
isfactorily reformed before the party has
been in power twelve months it will be
one of the greatest administrative triumphs
in the history of the country.
There is nothing in the presidents ad-
dress to indicate a change of feeling on
the money question, as Democratic organs
are Fastening to assert. His position all
the time has been that the integrity of our
financial system must not be impaired. He
has been favorable to silver in the sense
of desiring the greatest use of that metal
consistent with keeping the currency on a
perfectly sound and safe basis. He stands
squarely on the declaration of the St. Louis
platform. that the gold standard must be
maintained until such time as the great
nations of the world will unite in an agree
ment for international bimetallism.
While there has been no good reason for
doubling the presidents attitude toward
currency reform. many have believed. or
affected to, believe. that his feelings were
rather opposed to the gold standard than
otherwise. Senator Chandler and some
others who have assumed to speak for the
president on this subject nave spoken in
such a way as to create a little uncer-
tainty as to his whereabouts. This I'M
certainty, which ought never to have eX-
listed, is now authoritatively set at rest.
No one need hereafter have any doubt as
to where the present executive stands on
the money question.

CIVIL SERVICE AND THE CENSUS.

An earnest appeal is 10 be made to con-
gress by the National Civil Service lte-
form League on behalf of the organiza-
tion of the census bureau. The Chandler
Ill. which was introduced last March,
provided that the twelfth and all supse-
cuent censuses should be taken under the
merit system. but the committee to when
It was referred so amended it that pas
sage in its present form would mean the
fermentation of the old methods Of the
bureau.
The Reform League gives many IN
stances of fragrant abuse of the census de-
rartmcnt by politicians. Many other IN
stances are pointed out where the enum-
%erations were inexcusably ineffective ana
Inaccurate. There is abundant gum
against the present system merely on the
ground of ineficiency. but the more po-
tent reason. at least to many. will be the
extravaganza of the bureau.
Carroll d.. Wright. who succeeded super
.ntendent Porter, declared in a recent ar
ticle that at least 5000, 900 and a years
time could have been saved in the depart
ment under his supervision if civil service
rules had been in effect. This was equiv
s,ent to saying that onc-third of the money
expended had been wasted.
Mr.. Porter recently declared that the old
system is Objectionable, inasmuch as 1t
makes the superintendent responsible for
the selection and organization of thou
sands of clerks when he should be en-
- t;e r1.pc 1In fC
firmly convinced that the department
should be put under the merit system and
that the force be made permanent. The
incongruity of scientific Investigation and
political patronage is pointed out with con-
spicuous force.
Francis A. Walker. who was superin-
tendent of the bureau in 1870, is quoted as
saying that the local supervision in many
Of the Southern states was left to United
States marshaIs, with the result that the
enumerations, in many instances. were In
adequate and inaccurate, often to a shame
full degree.
Whatever may be the differences Of
opinion as to the merits of civil service
IN its general bearings, there ought not to
be a divided opinion as to its necessity in
the census bureau.
The eleventh census cost the government
SO, $40. OoO, of which sum $4,000 went for
salaries. If It is true that one-third of this
amount was wasted and that the result
was such as to leave the report in doubt
as 10 adequacy and accuracy, 1t is appar-
eEt that some sweeping reform is justly
demanded.
