HAS A BAD REPUTATION.
The Bicycle Thief's Real Name Said to
be Alex Cooley.

Deputy Sheriff Stevens visited Morris
town Tuesday afternoon to look into
the story of Make Haufmaster that
he came from that place. Make Hauf-
master is the name that the young fell
low who passed a forged check upon J..
A Lewis & Son gave. Mr. Stevens
found that there is a young man at
Morristown having that name, but
he is not the ona who passed the forged
check. The name Of the alleged real
culprit is Alex Cooley, of Morristown.
He and Hautmasler are at outs, and
this is thought to be the reason why
Cooley used Haufmaster' name on the
check, trying to throw the onus of the
affair on an innocent party, This
would make Cooley's crime all the more
contemplate,
Cooley's family is respectable one
but he himself does not bear the best
reputation at his home, according to
Mr.. Stevens. He is said to have been
mixed up In another forgery AFFAIR and
several larceny cases, and it is said that
the officers of Faribault want him. He
had been trying to buy bicycle at
home, but the dealers would not give
him credit. He came to Mankato with
another man to attend the circus.
Cooley has relatives to Austin, and
Sheriff Gerlich went there today,
thinking that he might show up there.
1t is expected that he will eventually
make his appearance at one of the re.
latives.

in the Philippines, writes from London
that Gen. Otis is fussy old man, not
competent for the important duties in
volved upon him. Creelman says Otis
is thoroughly saturated with. routine
ideas and methods, unaccustome6 to
anything but regimental command.
Creelman claims that it was because of
the incompetency of Otis that Admiral
Dewey cabled President Mckinley ask
ing him to send to Manila a small COM
mission of men skilled in craftsmanship
and diplomacy. If this is true there is
no doubt but that the president will
talk over the whole situation with the
Admiral when he arrives, and be guild
ed much by his advice. 1t would not be
strange, nor nothing against the presi-
dents policy should Gen. Otis prove in
competent for the position he now holds.
Lincoln had to try great many men
in responsible places before he found the
right ones. and so it may be now.
There is general feeling that Gen.
Miles, with his experience of handling
men, and also as an Indian fighter,
would be most capable man for the
place, and it may yet turn out that he
will yet be sent to take charge of the
campaign there.

THE REAL FACTS.

The Democratic leaders and papers
are having a hard time over the Ding
ley law and war revenue measure. Six
or eight months ago they were going to
have a tremendous deficit, one that
would crowd hard on to two hundred
better, they had it all planned that the
situation was going to keep growing
worse. But contrary to their expecta
tions and plans the reverse happened.
Conditions grew better, and the deficit
instead of growing larger. kept decreas
ing, and at the end of the fiscal year
was less than $50, 900, 900, and this in
cluded the payment of the $50, 100000
to Spain. This, of course, leaves the
opposition in very bad shape and so
they must invent some new theory to
let them down. easily And they have
done so in a cock and bull story in
which they figure down the expenses of
the war with Spain way below what
was actually the case In doing this
they figure that instead of deficit there
was an actual surplus of revenue pro-
duced over the legitimate needs of the
government of $3.50, OO0,0 which ad-
ded to the deficit reported by the treas
ury department, makes about 1884,
O00 900, which they claim is the real
actual deficit In other words they
claim that there was $3.50, 900, 900 more
revenue produced than was actually
needed, and that therefore there was
nearly quarter of billion of dollars
squandered. This lis as figured out by
the New York Journal 1t is sudden
reversal of position as to the situation,
but Democracy is used to such sudden
reversals and can hold its breath for
the short time it takes to get around to
its new position.
The actual facts are that the war
with Spain cost many millions more
than the manipulators of the above
figures admits. OF the actual deficit
1873, 700, 900 was incurred during the
first six months of the fiscal year. so
that taking out the $50, 100000 paid to
Spain for the Philippines and the So
600, 900 sent to Cuba; also the $12, 900, 900
received from the Pacific railways, and
the receipts from the Dingley law and
war revenue measure for the last
six months more than paid
the expenses of the government,
war expenditures included That was
the purpose for which they were de-
signed, and there is every indication
that they will continue to do so.
