Calamity is hitting the poor cop
perheads on all sides. Even the
treasury's expenditure account is
going back on them. 1t was the
hope of all the "an,i-imperialists"
that the governments outgo on &C
count of the naval and military
establishment would be up to such
high figures before this time that
the gold reserve would have to be
heavily drawn upon, as was the
case in meeting the ordinary ex-
penditures in Cleveland's second
administration, aud that a sale of
SIoo, 900, 600 or 500, 600, 900 of
boNis would have to be resorted
to long before Congress meets III
December this year. This would
make the whole band of renegades.
from Atkinson and Glrrison down
to Gormln, Bryan and Billy Masor,
whoop with delight.
But the hoped-for is not happen
ing. The present indications are
that this month will show a sur
plus Of about S., 200, COO in
treasury receipts over expendi.
lures There was a deficit in July
OF course. July is a month OF
heavy expenditures on account OF
the payments Of interest on the
public debt-the debt which the
government has carried from the
civil war days but the treasury
transactions since then will offse,
this shortage and show balance
on the right side of the ledger Of
about Sc, 900, 900 for the quarter
which is near its end. This re.
cord is rendered all the more re.
markable and encouraging by the
circumstance that the Secretary Of
the Treasury has already paid ou:
sever al millions Of dollars for in.
terest not due until next month
on the public debt.
This is, indeed, hard blow tc
the "anti.imperialists." In two
years of Cleveland's second tern
there were sales Of bonds amount
ing to over $262 900, 600 in a per
iod of profound peace, in order tc
meet the demands Of the govern
ment, and to prevent the countr,
from dropping to the silver basis
AT the present time, with the arm,
and navy greatly enlarged, anc
with war under way in one par
OF the national territory. there i.
no danger from silver, and the gov
eminent is more than meeting al
its demands from its regular in
come. The gold reserve, in fact
is $I54,ooo.o 600 on an average
higher than it was in Cleveland
second term, or a good deal NOR,
than twice as large as it was then
and the revenues are pa, ing al
the expenditures. The new regi
ments will increase the expendi
lures somewhat, but the revenu,
will undoubtedly be sufficient, O,
the whole, to meet them. This i.
a record which will give satisfac
ton to everv lover of his country
The poor flag -furlers have no feel
ings which the present rooustl,
Republican conditions in the
United States think it worth white
to respect.

in the war of 1912 IA that many OF
her leading men were ripe for
secession and might have ventured
upon it had the war been pro-
longed another year United
States Senator Gore, OF Massa-
chusetts, wrote King as follows:
Some men talk here Of making
declaration next winter that the
Union is dissolved, and that her
ports shall be open TO all nations. "
Mr.. King replied that II find both
from Mr.. Hanson and Mr.. Gros-
venor that the continuance of the
war will, in their opinion, en-
danger the Union.'
Gouverneur Morris, famous
fedcralist leader, a trusted friend
OF Washington, who had sent him
as minister to France to succeed
Jefferson, was as ready to recur to
extreme measures for stopping the
war and disgracing or gripping
the Madison administration as the
most ttuculent of the New Eng
land "aunties, for Morris wrote
King that these Northern states
will not submit to war of ex-
termination; that if Great Britain
should execute the threat Of
devastation against that part ofthe
country whose representatives up
hold such barbarous measures, fat
from attempting to avenge, they
should applaud conduct tending
to recall our rulers to the practice
Of humanity" Morris declared
that IF it be possible to preserve
the Union it can only be by shock
ing outrages which are no longer
to be borne.
How much this frantic language
OF the New York and New Eng
land "aunties" of 1912 IA sounds
like their iineai political descend
ants; the New York and New Eng
land "aunties" OF 1899! Mr..
King was not like Morris a cop
perhead. He was in his attitude
to President Madison's adminisra-
ton what Governor Seymour, OF
New York, was to President
Lincoln's. He disapproved of the
war and the conduct Of it, but he
considered it his duty as a citizen
and a senator to meet the demand
for supplies Morris and the
whole board OF the New England
"aun,ies" insisted that King
should refuse supplies Of every
sort" The Hartford convention
assembled December 10, 1914, with
the intention oil discussing and
formulating measures of resistance
to the general government, but be-
fore the committee deputed to sub.

! The "aunties" in New York
who had refused to vote war sup.
plies TO Governor Tompkins, and
the "aunties" in New England,
who had refused to honor the
esident's call for militia, were at
once demoralized aud disbanded,
never again to reappear in politics
under the name of federalists.
These "aunties' of 1872 u went
to political death as speedily as

New French President.

Paris, Feb 20.--This election Of NJ.
Loubet by single rollcall, and by repub-
licans only is the greatest republican VIC.
tory since Greyy's walk over the course.
The new president comes from part
of France where the Roman power lasted
longest, namely, Marsanne, in the depart
ment of the Drome. He gives the impress
sion of remote Latin origin and looks to
be solid, practical man who sees the
facts OF life just as they are. As president
Of the senate he has had official expert
ence that will be useful to him as presi-
dent of the republic, but he Is essentially
a plain, middle-class man, whose mind Was
sharpened by his practice at the bar in
the provincial town of Montelmar, in
the south of France He is there most
popular, and everyone at Montellmar
counts himself personal friend of Loubet,
who. as mayor, county councillor, deputy
and senator, always acted as the servant
of the public.
He received 4S3 votes against 27O for
NJ. Meline.

The fruit steamer Sunniva, of the Blue

Bluetelds, Nicaragua, with the following
adyiees up to February Is;
General Mena has been for three days
above Rama with 700 insurgents. 1t is

General Reyes boats have returned from
Greytown to defend this place. The man
of-war San Jacinto is also here. Three
hundred Americans from Cuba are due
here to join the insurgent conservative
forces. Antrailleuse, Gatling, Krupp and
Hotchkiss guns are also expected here as
additions to the insurgent arms.
Greytown was surrounded by the
Rough Riders when the gunboats left. A
force of liberals is due at that port
Colonel q. w. Winchester, chief of po-
lice at Puerto Barrios, has joined Reyes.
-Four hundred men are awaiting Reyes
arrival in Granada to flock to his stand

The conservatives are volunteer, and
engage in their ordinary tasks during the
day, while ready at any time to respond
TO the bugle cali. If choice were given
them, they would prefer Clarence, the ex-
lied chieftain, to President Zelaya.
The foreigners here support the conser-
vatiyes. Order is generally prevalent
The Norwegian and British craft that
were impressed by the insurgents to carry
troops have been released.
The Liberal EspOnza says the reyolu-
ton will last only a month.
Senior Espinosa says the cause of the
discomfort against President Zelaya is
widespread and well grounded. His uncle
had heretofore been an intimate friend
and supporter of Zelaya, but recently ne
had not been able to approve or support
Zelaya's conduct rs president.
In addition to levying the tariff taxes
on the eastern coast, Zelaya had caused
to be summoned the leading native cap
italists of the country, and, declaring
them TO be enemies of the republic, had
caused them to be mulcted in fines, in
most instances equivalent to their entire
available capital.
Ii the departmental fiscal agent failed
to collect the fines the unfortunates were
committed to the penitentiary without
trial or form OF law, placed In chains and
kept incommunicado, and in many cases
denied food or water, until the fine was
paid, which in all cases purged the pris-
oners Of their declared treason.
Espinosa says these facts have Ell
tranged the good people OF the republic
from Ielaya, and that Reyes confidently
looks forward for support from them and
for the active aid of the conservative
church party of the republic.
Espnosa said he learned before leaving
Bluetields that the Honduras government
has dispatched men and arms from Te-
gucigalpa to Zeaya's aid. The Honduras
allies were said to be commanded by Gen
eral Iurra, general under Borilla.
