Death of Hon. Barnes Compton.

Hon. Barnes Compton died at his home
in Laurel last Saturday.
Years ago, when in Congress, Mr.. Comp
ton, while making speech on the French
spo.iation claims, was stricken with yer.
tigo, and since that time he suffered at
intervals from angina pectoris and ner-
vOus disturbances, traceable to defective
circulation. 1t was on account of his
health that he resigned from Congress in
1894, to accept the quiet office of naval
officer of the port of Baltimore, rendered
by President Cleveland. Many of his
constituents, who thought from his APP
pearance that he was still in vigorous
health, criticised his leaving Congress.
When he was mentioned as the demo-
cratic nominee for Congress last summer
in his district Mr.. Compton said his health
was such that he could not afford, under
any circumstances, to take the nomna
ton. A year ago he had long and
dangerous illness, but since that time his
health had been fairly good. Since leav-

The utterly dishonest nature OF Repub-
lican hnancierins is disclosed by a news
article In the Herald this morning. It
appears from this that about $s4, 500, coo
Of the Fifty Million Defenee Fund has
already been expended for ships, fortih-
cations and munitions of war.
Not one cent of this has. appeared in
the daily returns of government expen-
diture.
Now why is this? OF course, we all
know ii does not belong to the regular
expenditure of the government. But if
it is right to include the Pacific Railroad
payments in the report of income, why
should not this outlay be recorded on
the other side. of the balance sheet. Fact
is, ii is real expenditure While the Pacific
payments are not real income
Evidently Secretary Gage believes in
dishonest bookkeeping. His way Of boil
STEERING up the G. O. r.. is to stick every
dollar, right or wrong, on the income
side of the account, and leave off the
other side every cent that any excuse
can be found for ignoring.

His Trim 10 Carlsbad.

The regular monthly meeting of st.
Patrick's Catholic I'll was held last
evening in the clubhouse, on Grand
street. Father Carroll, the president, pre-
sided. Ether Carroll has been i'll for a
month past with a severe attack of rheu-
matism, but is able TO be about again.
He gave the members an interesting de-
scription of the Carlsbad baths in Ger
many, where he is going for his health
His description of the efforts Of stout
men to reduce their weight by climbing
mountains vas very funny. Father Car
roll was forced to go to Carlsbad once
before for his health. SO he speaks from
experience.
On Monday evening next the young
men, with the aid of the ladies, who are
associate members, will hold another
progressive euchre party. Elaborate
preparations are being made for the aft
fair, which will be in honor of Father
Carroll, who will leave for Germany IN
next Tuesday. The treasurer's report
showed the club to be in excellent con-
dition financially. The membership roll
now numbers over 125. During Father
CAROLS absence Father Talon will be in
charge of the parish work.

War Finance.

We observe with pain and alarm that
the first war revenue measure which the
Mckinley party suggests is the coinage
of the .sseigniorage'' on the silver bullion
in the treasury. This is literally a pro-
posal to coin a minus quantity, to coin
millions less than nothing.
Nothing could be more deadly to our
credit. 1t is to superimpose upon the
burdens of war the burden of debased
coinage. Far better let us issue treasury
notes. or. better still. sell bonds for gold.
We could, beyond all doubt, sell tours
above par clean down to the end OF q
war with Spain. The New York Life In
surance Company yesterday offered the
government ten millions of dollars on any
fair terms, and there are hosts OF other
capitalists ready to follow suit.
The only thing that can hurt our credit
in this crisis is financial cowardice. and
the juggling expedient of coming the all
legged "seigniorage'' would be a most abb
iect specimen of this worst Of crimes and
follies-

FATHER HATER'S NEW CHARGE
Ssnt 60 a Newark Parish for the
Next Three M0nths.

The Rev. Father Halter, who for the
past seven months has been one Of the
assistant rectors of st. Paul's r. G.
Church. in Greenville. will leave that
parish on April II next. Bishop Wigger
has Instructed Father Halter to report at
ST. Augustine's r, C. Church in New
ark on that date. Father Halter will
have entire charge OF that parish for
ABOUT three months.
Father Huelsebusca. who is now in
charge of st. Augustine's Church, will
leave shortly for Germany. THE trip will
be mainly for his health, but while on
the trip he will visit his mother.
The parish of which Father Halter is
to take charge is a fair sized one, con-
tanning fully LOCO souls. During his
seven months stay in Greenville he has
been a valuable assistant to Father Me-
Dowel1. He is of German parents and
therefore he was very popular with that

detailed to ST. Paul's in Greenvilie again.

We know that imitation is the sincerest
form of f1attery; but we object TO it when
it takes the form of petty larceny.
The Evening Journal OF this city has
made 1t a practice for the last six weeks
or so to steal news articles from our
columns and print them a day or two
!. after our publication, without credit. On
NNonday. especially. the thefts- from orr
2turday edition are notable.
- Yesterday, there were at least three
] cases. They were headed in the Jour
narr:-

The Missionary one was condensed from

were also copied from Saturday. the voor-
hees one almost without change.
We rave long been accustomed to sup
ply the journal with brains and with
news. Its swiftness in copying our ideas
and our facts has for years been the sub
ject Of laughter among the newspaper
men of the city. We believe there is
hardly q feature in it today which 1t did
not take up Immediately after we had
shown the way. We do not generally care
to dwell on this despicabie trait of the
yellow sheet. 1t is not worth the space.
But just at the present time when the
good Mr.. Rappleye of New York is so
rabidly virtuous about other people, we
would suggest to him the propriety of
keeping his pen from picking and steal
