Secretary Gage estimates that the
deficit for the current fiscal year will
not exceed 500, OO0,O 0O, and possibly
Viii be even less than that amount
This is decrease of sl2, 100000 from
his estimate OF last Decembe and
shows by how much the prosperity of
the country has outrun even what was
considered the optimistic estimate of it
made by Secretary Gage six months ago.
Tbe mistake is not usually made in
that direction, but the fact seems to be
that no one can keep up even IN inn
giuation with the tremendous indus
trial strides which are now being taken
by the United States
One of the chief reasons, if not the
sole reason, why the national revenues
sill exceed former estimates is the re-
marKable gain in the customs receipts.
It was demonstrated long ago that the
Dingley law was revenue raiser as
well as an industrial creator and a pros
perity producer, but 1t is surprising
expectations. The total receipts from
customs for the current fiscal year will
90 above the 100000, 900 mark,
which means a jump Of more than
$50, 000,0 900 above last years receipts.
A considerable increase was, of course,
bound to come as an indirect result of
prosperity. Prosperity at home al
ways means big purchases from abroad,
because the people of the country have
more money to spend and they spend
a part of it in buying goods which come
from abroad. The more prosperous
the country, therefore, the larger vol
ume of imports and the greater amount
of revenue from acknowledgements.

Governor Mount, of Indina, who is
not only first class executive. but u
first class farmer as well, says that Of
the S00O0,000 acres oi eOrn grown in
1897, 5O,0O0,O0 acres %, the by.pro-
duct, on fodder, were in measure lost
If this waste had been properly cared
for, its value as food for farm animals
would have amounted 80 multiplied
millions OF dollars. An after disregard
Of economic principles aiarmiDgly man
ifest in the methods of harvesting the
corn crop, if pursued in amy other bust
ness, would result in bankruptcy.
Not long ago closely observing
man, who had travelled extensively in
Indiana, said that the waste on farms
in this state exceeded the net profits.
Recently in one of the farm institutes
in our state, a gentleman who last fall
travelled in Europe, made the statement
that the waste of Indiana farmers would
keep the farmers in France.
AS result of my own travels, says
the governor, through Indiana have
become convinced that 200, 900 sheep
could be kept during the summer months
on the pastures and fields, utilizing
what could otherwise be wasted and
much of which, in the shape of weeds
and brush, is positively hurtful to the
farms. am unable to manage any
farm and obtain the largest returns
without sheep.-Farmer's Voice.

RIOT AGAIN AT CLEVELAND.

jGIEVELAND. Sept. 1-Another riot
broke out at $3.50 tonight on Central ave-
nue. near Giddings avenue. A set torpedo
exploded under the wheel of a Central
avenue car and a large crowd of foreign
workmen assembled. They soon began
to throw stones at the passing cars.
Stones were thrown at patrolman who
ordered the crowd to disperse, and after
fighting his way through a crowd he tele-
phoned for help.
Three officers responded and later a
patrol wagon arrived with Captain Rowe
and six more men. They charged the
crowd and dubbed It, severely. AS the
rioters broke away the police made 10 ar
rests. During the rioting the crews of
several street cars that passed fired re-
volvers over the heads of the mob. With
two exceptions the prisoners are foreign

somewhat of a contradiction, nevertheless
irtended to conserve the true meaning;
day of rest for laborers. No one can
find any fault with a plan of this nature,
the onlny pity is that the laboring classes
will not get together and have more
holidays, have them right along, in the
shape of an eight hour day. One holiday
in the year seems poor apology Tor re2-
reation and Ut would seem far more COM
Portable to distribute the pleasures evenly
every day with work than to condensa
them into one day. The average working

a necessary factor that people should en-
