a SICK REVENUE Fund.

The statement of the state treasurer
for December bears out the prediction
of the G o b e, made when the Novem-
Der statement showed that fund over
| drawn $4,000, that the deficiency was
bound to increase. December shows
overdraft Of $685. 461. By March the
bulk Of the railway tax will have been
paid in. In 1896 that source yielded
81, 090,510. It is estimated that it will
yield ST. 100000 for the fiscal year end
ing next July. If payments have been
made proportionately to those Of prior
years one-fourth of this has been paid.
leaving a possible $500 or 5000 900 to
come. Deducting the overdraft leaves
about 100000, To this there is to be
added the state tax of is mills, levied
for 1898, which on the valuation of
1888, 00O,O 900 will produce 1914, 500 Of this
valuation $47S, 472, G54 was on real estate.
the levy on which will produce SIT, 708.
But the amendment to the law pro-
viding that payment of half this tax
may be deferred from June to Novem-
Der will cut this revenue for 1898 in
half, leaving some $35OOOO, without al
lowance for delinquencies.
We have then for the remaining sew
en- months an income of about 81 900, 900
to meet what remains of unpaid appro-
priations made in 1897 for the fiscal
year 1898, amounting to $2,023, 1876 The
November and December statements.
l,aiY- 1aGo
and $1S5,000, indicate very clearly that
all convertible balances from '97. if
any, and al income received from 1898
have been used up; and the recent &C
ton of the state board of trustees of
insane hospitals, convened to see where
expenses could be cut. indicates that
neither income already realized nor
that anticipated will be sufficient to
prevent this deficit from growing larg
er until the year ends. Allowing the
income from gross earnings to reach
even $1,250,0 00, and adding to the $780,
coo coming in from the half of the real
estate tax the $4,000 from the tax on
personally. we have a total of $780,
900 to meet appropriations aggregating
$2029, T95, leaving probable deficit July
81 OF at least $274,0OO.
The reason for this is not difficult to
find. 1t lies in the needless, reckless
profigacy of the legislature Of 1897.
Il surpassed that of 1895 in extrava-
gance, that body having exceeded the
income with it's appropriations and left
heritage of s164,074 of deficit for the
year 1896 to it's successor. 1t must be
understood that each Legislature makes
appropriations and levies taxes for the
two fiscal years following that in which

4 JUST AWARD,

No verdict ever rendered by jury
in st. Paul was received with heartier
appreciation and satisfaction than that
which mulcts Lieut.. Babe in the sum
of $3.50 for false arrest. This award
of damages was made on behalf Of
the men whose detention without
cause, whose insults and whose stripes
appealed in vain to the police force
and to its official head q few months
ago. The G. l b rejoices that the in
dividuals who were so grievously out
ragged have followed up their legal rem
edy, and it hopes that no device may
be valid to save the property of the
offending officer from this just claim
upon it. If Lieut.. Babe is beyond the
reach of public opinion, or of any
other influence that would cause him
to moderate his policy as a member
of the police force, this verdict will at
least stand as a warning to him and
to others that unoffending citizens
cannot be arrested and dubbed in st.
Paul with entire impunity. We return
the thanks of the Whole community to
this jury for it's excellent work, which
could not have been improved unless
it had gone in it's estimate of dam
ages. to the full limit asked for.
Incidentally, we may observe, that
this is a very fair measure Of the judg-
ment passed upon this administration
by the citizens of st. Paul. 1t was by
no means Lieut.. Babe alone who was
on trial in this case. He was the only
one against whom legal proceedings
would lie, but it is his official superior,
Mayor Doran, as the supreme head of
the police force, against whom the
righteous indignation and severe CEN
sure of the public is directed. This is
the case in which Mr.. Doran refused
to interfere. These are the circum-
stances that were laid before him by
the injured parties, fully corroborated
by a committee of reputable citizens,
and his reply was that he could do
nothing What he did do was to retain
Lieut.. Babe on the police force after
this transaction was thoroughly Venti-
lated, and thereby he placed upon his
course the stamp of official approval
In reality it was Mayor Doran as well
as Lieut.. Babe who was on trial in
the court on Tuesday; and, insensible
as he appears to be to the censure of
good citizens, and open only to be NOV
ed by the applause of bad citizens,
he can hardly fail to appreciate the
force of the fact that, on the merits
of the case, a jury was unanimously
against him.
There was no division Of opinion as
to the fact that damages were due to
the plaintiff, and the only question
which the jury had to decide was as to
the amount. We do not believe that
twelve men could be found in st. Paul,
outside of office holders or political
henchmen of the mayor, who would
have rendered, upon the evidence any
other verdict than that which has been
returned. This is what our people
think because they are decent, law
observing and liberty loving people, of
the present administration It is an
opinion that may possibly penetrate
the pachydermatous mayor and give
him a bad quarter of an hour when he
comes to consider what it means for
his future.

WASHINGTON, JAN 1S.-An ar
Tangement was today perfected by
which Charles Page Bryan, of Illinois,
nominated to be minister to China
and ex-Representative Conger of

posts. There was considerable objec-
ton 10 Mr.. Bryans confirmation on the
ground that he had no diplomatic ex-
perience and was not equipped for so
important a post as that of minister to
China is likely to be during the present
administration, in view OF the Euro
pean scramble for possessions in
China. Mr.. COnger was minister to
Brazil during the Harrison administra-
tion and was regarded as orc of the
strongt q and best of our foreign rep
resentatNes. The nominations MAX

there will be no opposition to the con-
frmation to either gentleman.

DIR. PINES INTRODUCTORY
Pays an Eloquent Tribute to the b.
metallic Champion.

DR.. Pine, in introducing Mr.. Bryan, spoke
as follows:
During the great civil war which resulted
in the overthrow of negro slavery,
which had existed prior to the birth of the
republic, and which upheld by a ma
jorty of the pulpits and secular papers of
the country, l shouldered my musket at the
call of President Lincoln for three hundred
thousand more. I enlisted fer three years.
or during the war, and, with other atoms of
that great army, endured the hardships and
privat:ons of real war, and the prison pen.
But together, without faltering in the struggle
for liberty and justice we marched and
fought and waited patiently fer the dawn of
peace, which came at last. And so when
the gigantic struggle of 1896 was thrust upon
the American people like a thunderbolt from
a clear sky when the once great Republi-
can party in convention assembled at St.
Louis had parted from its moorings; when
the last vestige of Lincoln Republicanism had
been tempered with by that body; when the
golden calf set up by the organized money
lenders of Europe had been adopted as a
party symbol, then it was that we, hundreds
Of thousands of lifelong Republicans, de-
serted that rotten Hannaized corruption-that
corrupt;on-stained old ship of the Repubii-
can party. 1t was then that tens Of thousands
of battles Scared warriors who had fought the
battles OF liberty more than thirty years ago
and had received their miserable pittance In
greenbacks, which were then worth but 30
cents, enlisted again to aid a gigantic and
incessant battle against the plutocratic an
archists of this country. OF the six and one
half million voters who formed our grand
army, no deserters could be found and the
trend Of events that indicate that Clevelands
panics and McKinley's prosperity are as like
as straight lines of equal length, justify the
prophecy that two millions more Will be add
ed to cur cause within the next year. 1
deem it one Of the greatest pleasures of my
life, as an ostracised Lincoln Republican. to
announce to you. my neighbors and friends,
the brilliant champion of the tciling in
dustrial classes of this country, the Lincoln
of today our beloved William j. Bryan, of
the United States. Great and prolonged
cheers)

The prospecting party had reached
Fort st. John on their way to the Yukon.
They had taken the Edmonton route,
and had been long time on the way.
They were in hurry, and decided to
take short cut across the marshes.
They intended to go down the Nelson
river to the Lizard and up that stream
until they could portage to the Pelly.
They were warned of the danger, but
persisted in starting out with a big out
fit of supplies and many horses. They
did not return to St. John, and have not
arrived at Fort Nelson, acc cording to
prospectors who have just reached Daw-
son.
It would b us less to search fer their
bodies on the marshes, for the oozing

few hours. Indians have lost their lives
in the treacherous mud before, and the
natives won't cross it.

North YAKIMA, Wash, Sept. 25.-
Dan Reagan, man who had been i'll in
the hospital here several weeks, while
walking on the track near the stock
yards, south of the city, was run over
and killed by freight train, which was
switching on the 'tY." Reagan was
deaf and did not hear the shouts of
warning of train crew nearly 100 feet
ahead Of him. The train crew heard
cries, and got off the track and ran back
to Reagan, but it was too late. The
train ran over the body of the latter,
cutting it in two in the middle. Reagan
had been living here but short time,
coming to Yakima from Oregon. The
cororner's inquest placed no blame on
the railroad company.
Louis Tuotl, German section hand,
was run over by hand car carrying ten
men this morning. He was badly
crushed and bruised, but his lite is not
in danger. He fell off the car while it
was in motion.

thanks to Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera
