Missouri is Solvent,

Nfissouri's credit as a solid
and solvent State is not to be
SHAKEN by growndless asser-
tious to the effect that an empty
Treasury has resulted in the
protesting of State warrants
by the State Treasurer. Re
publican statements to this ef'
feet constitute a fraud upon the
readers of Republican organs
us we'll as a malicious partisan
assault upon Missouri's good
name.
The State Treasurer was
technically justified III refusing
to pay the mere certificates OF
legislative and official services
for which warrants had not
yet been drawn-pending the
passage of the general appBO-
priations bill
The fiscal year of Missouri
ends in January instead of July
and, as a consequence, the ex-
penses of the Legislature are
not payable until the appropri-
ations have been made APP
preparations constitute, neces-
sarily, one Of the late session
actions, and the practice, for
convenience, has been 10 au-
thorize advance payment by
joint resolution.
The State Treasury possesses
ample funds to meet all claims
unless the general appropria.
tions should prove extravagant.
Under these circumstances
the malicious unfairness OF Re-
publican assertions that the
State finances are in an un.
sound condition is plainly APP
parent. The State Treasury is
not bankrupt" as is so per-
sistently charged by Republi-
can organs eager to manufac.
ture campaign material. State
warrants of Missouri at par are
as good as Government bonds.
Missouri is solvent. The people
of Missouri are lightly taxed.
The few creditors Of Missouri
are safe. The State debt of
Missouri will soop be wiped
out altogether. In it's financial
condition Missouri will stand
comparison with any State IN
the Union.
The people of Missouri should
not miss the significance of Mis-
souri, Republicanism's attack
upon the credit of the State. 1t
reveals the desperate lengths
to which that party is driven in
its desire to discredit Demo
cratic administration of State
affairs. 1t is rot likely, how
ever, that willingness to ma
lign and injure Missouri will
mske a strong appeal to the
people of Missouri for support
of the Republican party--Re.
public.

\ prominent shipper states that he
sent a ship to the railroads Oakland
wharf last week. II had a thousand
tons OF freight for the interior which
X was almost imperative to ship by
Saturday. When an application was
made for cars the railroad officials
threw up their hands and exclaimed
that It would be almost impossible to
move a pound u the cargo. for the
reason that there was hardly an avail
ablN ear at their command. They ad-
nitted that trade had revived so rap
i2ly and increased in such volume
that they We're totally unprepared to
handle the freight that was awaiting
shipment TO the interior The ship
was moved to this side Of the bay and
the railroad was pleaded with for any
rolling stock that they could possibly
put al the disposal Of the shipper, and
the very best that they could do was
TO move the cargo al the rate Of one
car load day, and this TO the exclu-
sion Of dozen other clamoring ship
pers, At this rate it will take nearly
two weeks FOR the railroad to move
the cargo. where ordinarily II should
not take as many days

their officers learned that the railroad

shippers look upon the present con-
ditions as extremely annoying. And
while il indicates the rapid approach
OF better times much Of the adyan-
tage to the city will be lost unless
better facilities for moving freight are
provided at once. The consumers OF
the interior demand IL and the mer-
chants OF the city must have il in or
der to hold their trade.

THE NAVY ENLISTED FORCE I'M
PROVED.
New York Tribune.

New York Tribune.
There have been many evidences in
the last year that the officers Of the
navy have al heart the interests and
feelings Of the enlisted men In peace
as we'll as In battle. When Admiral
Dewey landed al the Battery few
days ago to receive the welcome that
had been arranged for him, he de-
manded that one Of the enlisted men
Of the Olympia who desired the honor
Of acting as his footman should take
the place alongside Of the coachman.
In the Manila engagement he ceased
firing until the men could stay their
hunger with a quick breakfast, and
on subsequent occasions he and his
commanders showed their regard for
the man who wears the blue shirt
by providing for his comforts In food
and clothing and liberty on shore. Phil
ips on the Texas, Evans on the Indi-
ana: Chadwick on the New York. and
other commanders gave personal at
tention to The men who were serving
under them in various ways. especial
ly when they were on shore, demand
ing that the citizens should show them
due respect and encourage them to
keep from the Turing dens that are
open TO the sailor so long as he has
a cent In his pocket.
The condition Of the enlisted force
In the navy have been improved In
many ways in the last few years, be-
cause the officers have personally In
terested themselves for the benefit OF
the men True, the men with blue
shirts and white braid trimmings, and
with the broad top caps, around the
band Of which may be read the name
Of the vessels to which they belong,
are met on the Bowery and on other
streets with loeds they could carry bet
ter II they made two trips for them.
but there are not so many Of them
as could he seen a few years ago. The
social hall and library thar long ago
were established In the navy yard,
opened through the efforts Of Com
modore Nicholson and a navy chaplain
and the branch OF the Young Mems
Christian Association are some OF the
institutions whose influences have
kept many Of the sailors from the
haunls Of vice and improved their
moral and social conditions.
Another improvement in the enlist
ed man OF the navy is his tendency 20
save money for use after his term Of
enlistment expires. There was a time
when he would not have more than
a months pay coming to him on his
discharge. and this would be spent In
a single DAYS spree. But he has
been encouraged to put by for a rainy
day. and Il Is now common for him
10 receive 800 or more in mis- final
pay Indeed. only a few days ago an
enlisted man (promOted TO party off,
