Deficits and Bond Issues.

We are told that the quantity of gold
in the federal treasury is so great as
to become burdensome; something
around one hundred and sixty million
dollars. We are also advised by the
treasury statements that there is a
deficit for this fiscal year in the re-
ceipts of revenue of nearly $50. 000 900.
Here is the same condition Of deficien-
cy of revenue that prevailed three
years ago, when President Cleveland
gold for the maintenance Of the re-
serve fund and to prevent suspension
Of redemptions. The situation sharp
ly recalls the contention Of the Repub-
lican press at that time. 1t seems to
call for more attention than they are
now giving it; and, especially for some
solution that squares with their argu-
ment then. There is a gap of fifty mil
lions between income and outgo, one
that has steadily increased since the
passage Of the revenue bill, enacted
clared in his inaugural to be the first
and most pressing duty Of his restor-
ed party. And the "endless chain
rusts in idleness.
Until the elections indicated their re-
storation, Republican papers and poll
ticians were tireless in asserting that
nyo1xy nf ho ha
ury for gold was the lack of sufficient
income. Given adequate revenue and
there could be no run, for the redeem
ed notes would not be reissued, and
the material for a run would give out.
And the assertion that the president
was issuing bonds to maintain the re-
serve was pure balderdash; he was
getting money to pay the ordinary ex-
a plausibility in this contention that
imposed upon the mass. Now we
see the same condition that was de-
clared to be the cause of the working
of the endless chain, shortage of in
come; but, coincident with it, a pletf-
ora of gold in the treasury, and the
"chain" at a dead rest. If it was a
deficiency of income then that made
the chain carry it's load of greenbacks
and treasury notes to the treasury
and it's load of gold out, returning the
paper again and again, but the gold
never, why does it not work now? Like
causes produce ever like effects.
The truth is, of course, that Repub-
lican papers and spouters knew then
as they know now, that it was not de-
ficient revenues that caused the run
They knew then that there had been
a run under Manning and Cne under

NEW BOATS ARE EN- ROUTE.
kIondtke Rush VIII Re Handled
BETTER Than Was Expected.

1t may be stated now on the author
ity of some of the railroad men, who
have been giving the matter considera-
bic thought, that there is no longer
need for concern lest people who are
bound to go to the Klondike ard rush
as fast as possible to the various North
Pacific points may not be able to Sc
cure adequate steamship accommOda-
tiOns for Alaska points.
The G O b e yesterday published a
list of the steamers which are at this
time plying between Portland, Seattle
Tacoma and Victoria for the gold coun-
try towns, and it is admitted by the
railroad men that the sum total of their
capacity is wholly insufficient to meet
the needs OF the crowds of people who
are expected at the coast during the
next few months.
Some Eastern people have come to
the rescue, and will put into SERVICE
not later than the end Of this month,
several large boats, which will alone
more than double the capacity of the
present fleet. For example, the Nor
gan City, a vessel with a capacity for
$50 passengers and $500 tons of freight,
has been sailing for month from New
York, and in two weeks more will be
in Seattle. She is owned and built by
the Joseph Ladue Gold Mining and De-
is the City of Columbia. 292 feet long,
with a capacity of 300 passengers,
which has left New York; the Ohio,
which recently cleared from Philadel-
phia, vessel with as large a capacity

Bring Cut at Least a Few Per-

PARIS, Feb 10.-Mme. Dreyfus is SO
seriously Ill owing to worry. that she
is unable to appear on the witness
stand in the lola trial, and. in any
case. she refuses to furnish any fur
Their testimony.
The excitement heightens daily over
the outcome of the unequal conflict be-
tween two angry parties, one anxious
that the Chose Juge, whether legal or
not, shall remain intact, and the other
that law and justice should be respect
ed even at the expense of the Chose
Juge.
The latter party is a very small
minority in a strange and pathetic pre-
dicament, for while, unless it can prove
injustice in the Dreyfus and Este. hazy
cases, M. lola must be condemned, the
court will not allow him the means to
prove the injustice.
M Laborie, therefore, is fighting to
impress the jury with the unfairness
of the whole proceedings. looking to
the attitude of the general public on
the case. However, it is evident that
he has difficult task before him.
Compared with the wild tumult OF
the previous days, today's proceedings
were calm, even to duliness. The chief
interest centered in Gen PellieuX's

as either of the others named. These
boats are ocean liners, and will make
the river boats now on the sound look
like pigmfes. Their steerage capacity
is enormous, and, with half a dozen
boats like them. making much faster
time than do the boats now on the
sailing lists, the passenger men of the
transcontinental lines see no need to
fear, even if the rush to the West is up
to the most extravagant estimate yet
made.
With the feeling that accommoda-
tons can be secured, the prospective
traveller will be surar to start, and the
