How Patriotic Americans Should

The manager is hard man to see. Shut

boy in the ante room. he is inaccessible to
any one whom that boy does not know.
You cannot even get your card sent to him:

State Auditor Cheetham's biennial re-
port, which has just been issued In
bound form. will be Of very little use
10 the average voter who desires to
know something about the sources and
distribution of public revenue and the
general condition of pubic finances. 1t
Is confused. unintelligent and unsatis-
factory document. out of which little or
nothing that is conclusive can be
learned.
The auditor of state Is looked to as
q source Of Information as well as
supervisor OF the accounts OF the treas
ury. For this reason he is required an
nuaily to make a report covering the
revenue and expenditures, the public
debt, the estimated revenues for the
period succeeding his report, the APP
propriations, taxation. etc. He is pre-
sumed TO SO present these matters that
they may be read at glance by the
voter or SO that they may be studied in
detail IL 1t be SO desired.
1t is impossible to Sc. forth all the
respects In which Mr.. Cheetham fails to
execute his plain duty In these matters.
without going into an extended show
ing, but 1t viii be palpable to anyone
who examines his report that he has
given to it neither good Judgment nor
ordinary bookkeeping intelligence. Ex-
cept through intricate calculation upon
the readers own part, the following is
the best showing that can be derived as
to the general state finances:
Annual revenue for lss. .................. :?
Annual revenue for 1855 ..,............... :?
Total revenue for two years ......... !?
Annual expenditures for 1897 ............ :?
Annual expenditures for 1888 .......-.... !?
Total expenditures for two years 80. :?
Total pubic debt, October 81 ........... :?
Interest payment NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. Z
sinking !unu .-............ .-...............
AS Ii Is with these more comprehen-
sive items, so il is with the smaller
items. The cash balance on November
/, 1896; October 81. 1887; November i,
1897. and October 81, 1898, are itemlzed.
but not totalized. The general and spe-
cial fund statements for each quarter of
the two years are itemized also. but not
totalized. The expenditures are not
summed up independently OF the cash
balance. If the reader desires to ascer-
tain the proportion of receipts to ex-
penditures he must work the matter
out for himself from the somewhat in
discriminate figures furnished by the
state official. whom he helps to pay for
this express purpose. The accounts of
1897 and 1898 are not segregated. or if
they are segregated II is not done in
such manner that the reader can safe
~ determine the matter for himself
General recapitulation has been omitted,
departmental recapltuiation appearing
TO the auditor TO be sufficient.
The entire report is amateurish and
worthy only OF n fusion official.

MORE BATTLE AT MANILA.

Gen. OTIS weIl-laid plans for the
crushing OF the FIlipinos confirm previ-
Gus impressions as to his excellence as
soldier, while the work Of the troops I'M
der his command demonstrates the
great fighting resources upon which an
American officer may place his conf
dence. The various actions OF the con-
fiict of Saturday and Sunday We're
marked at every turn with that great
power OF initiative which distinguishes
the American soldier from the soldier
OF any other nation. Through reliance
upon this gift Of his men an American
officer is able to assume q daring and a
grand holiness Of tactics which Is ever
the source OF admiration and wonder to
the military experts Of the world.
Striking. however. as was Gen. Otis
advance. there shows between the lines
In the accounts OF the battle the dread
story Of the lurking. retreating. unman-
ly foe whose insidious devices for ven-
geance are not likely 10 be at once sup
pressed even by overwhelming defeat.
1t is a story that may well give anxiety
to the soldiers and officers Of the United
States, even to q greater extent than
warfare with the Indians The treach-
erous and murderous Indian fought I'm a
land and environment whose difficulties
only tended to harden the endurance of
the white man. but the Filipino skulks
to swamps and fever holes whose I'M
healthfuiness undermines the most
rugged constitutions and reduces the
nerve Of the bravest Caucasians to help
less enervation.
Fer the moment Gen Otis undoubted-
~ will crush the Filipino power. lie
will drive Aguinaldo back further into
the wilderness. But the overpowering
and reducing to submission of 10000
men Of the character OF the Filiplnos is
a task almost beyond military grasp.
Though more than half Of the number
may yield their arms. the probability of
continued and unforeseeable attack by
the balance will remain to menace the
security OF the American troops aud
spread apprehension among the people
at home
This is fortune Of war which the ma
tion has been driven to against It's nat
aral impulses. but from which ii viii no,
shrink. Eventually, when Aguinaldo
shall have been captured and those who
Join him i'm his restless. ambitious, un-
prineipled leadership shall have been
brought within the compulsory sway of
the United States. as Geronimo and
his council were brought more than n
dozen years ago. the dangers and ter
rors VIII suhside and balance OF bene-
tit appear for which the American poo-
pie viii be thankful.
