CHARACTERISTIC MISTAKES.

| Even a republican administration
makes occasional mistakes, and the
present one is convicted by incontest-
IDLE figures of a very important error
to which the country should give heed.
Six months ago Secretary Gage in
dulged in some optimistic predictions
concerning the national Frances, but
subsequent events have proven his
prophecies very much in error-to the
extent of a good many millions Of dol
lars, in fact. This characteristic re-
publican mistake is emphasized by the
facs that the surplus in the national
treasury for the month of June is ap-
proximately SIS, 000, 900, against sur
plus of $4,273, 900 for the month of
May; showing a steady approach to
condition where income and Outgo will
be in favor of the treasury. The de-
felt for the year is $SS. STE, 9S9, nearly
$50, 600, 900 smaller than that which
Secretary Gage estimated at the begin
ming of the last session of congress,
and u most wholesome sign has been
the circumstance that every month
since this prediction of the secretary
was made has shown an improvement,
the impetus of which promises to be
felt in the coming fiscal year. The ap
parent cash balance today is $70,000,-
600 more than the cash balance on
June Both, when the figure was $685.
657, ST. The treasury department es-
Inmates that about $3.50, 100000 has
been paid out on account of the war
Had there been no extraordinary war
expenditures the present balance
would of course have been much
larger. The excellent showing in the
treasury statement apparent for June
is due directly to actual savings N he
conduct of the governments affairs.
The expenditures for the war depart
ment, for instance, fell off from $40
344,134.53 for May to $4,000 300 fer
June. The apparent savings during
June over May are; On civil and mis-
cellaneous expenditures. $1,000, 900;
war department, s2,250O00; navy,
$35O.OO0; Indian expenditures, 500,
600; pensions, $4,000, 900. and reduc-
ton of s4,OOO,000 on interest payments.
Inasmuch as the mistake of Secretary
Gage is on the right side of the ledger
as are most republican mistakes
and was due to the Unexpectedly coed
showing of republican tariff laws, the
will be quite willing to give
the head of the treasury department
a further trial. The essential differ
ence between republican and demo-
cratic mistakes is that the one per-
forms more than it promises and the

HIS COUNTRY IS HIS HEIR.
Musician Benson's Savings of $4,000
to Revert to the War Department.

PrinciaI Musician George w. Ben
son died a brave soldier and an honest
man. In his long service with the
Eleventh infantry U. S. A, he Ind
saved $4,000. He left no heirs, and the
money, under the law, will revert to
the war department.
Benson entered the service eighteen
years ago. He rose steadily from the
ranks until he gained his coveted ap-
pointment on the non-commissioned
officers staff of the Eleventh regiment
Then came the call for foreign ser
vice. With his regiment he went
through the Santiago, campaign. He
laid aside his cornet for a ''Krag,' -
and when not in the trenches he help
ed bring up ammunition or rations to
the front
IA year ago Thursday he was on the
hills before Santiago fighting for Uncle
Sam and the glcry of the Eleventh.
From Santiago the Eleventh went into
the Porto Rican campaign. Days on
the march and nights in. the trenches

his bones. He fought it off al, winter
but six weeks age he was sent home to
die. Deaths discharge came two days

JUST AS GEN. GORDON LEFT IT,
The Palace at Khartoum Has Been Re

General Gordons famous palace at

wooden structure can be called-has
been completely restored. and viii

Kitchener, the conqueror of S0udan,
as the seat of government for this vast
region. 1t was on the Steps of this
building fourteen years ago, that Cor
don was killed by the dervish hordes,
who had finally succeeded in entering
the city.
Now Khartoum is once more to be
the capital of the Soudan The palace
has been restored in exact duplication
of its condition on the day of Gordon s
murder. Perhaps Il is built a little
more solidly and substantially, for
Lord Kitchener has every necessary
means and material. Near by will be
erected the Gordon memorial college,
for which Lord Kitchener has raised
large sum of money, for now the
sword has been laid aside and educa-
ton is to complete the forward march
of civilization in the dark continent
Next month Lord Kitchener, governor
general of a tremendous province, will
re-enter khartoum and take UP his
residence in Gordon's palace, where

DEAF MUTEs' CONVENTION.
It's Going to Be Held at the Paris Fair
and Will Be First of the Kind.


The deaf mutes~ of the civilized world
are looking forward with much inter
est to the international congress,
which meets in Paris during the
worlds fair 1t will be the first gath
ering of the kind since the rise of deaf
ml,te education in the year 1850. and 1t
is most appropriately meet in the
birthplace of the method of education
that has been proved most natural and
helpful to thousands of this afflicted
class This method found its way to
America not long afterward, at tbs
hands of Gallaudet and Clerc, house
hold names among American deaf
muteS The latter was highly edu-
Gated deaf mute. In the year named
a benevolent and ingenious French
able discovered the long overlooked
fact that universal sign language,
the mother expression of all uneducat-
ed deaf mutss, was a facfIe means of
telling them the meaning of words and
teaching them to read and write; and,
better still, of preaching the gospel.
He also found that hand signs are
much palmer in the eye of a deaf mute
than lip signs, and thus more readily
conveyed to linn the IDEAS existent in
the hearing world.
Since this discovery deaf mute edu-
cation has grown with great rapidity,
there being at this day over 400 schools
in America and Europe. The govern
ment college for the deaf a. Washing
ton is the first and only institution of
the kind in the world.
A committee of deaf mutes of the
French metropolis is at work making
arrangements for the congress. Sub
committees have been appointed in
other countries.
"A meeting has been he'd TO discuss
plans submitted by the chairman. An
important feature of this international
congress will be the reading" of pa
pers by the leading deaf mutes of diff
ferent nationalities. The sending of
delegates and other matters will prob
ably be taken up by the national con-
venHo on of deaf mUtes, which meets at
St. Paul this month.-New York Jour

1t is said that there is just now in
cubating among the Arizona republic
cans plan to send an anti-McKinley
delegation to the next republican ma
tional convention. So far as can be
ascertained the democracy of Arizona
have but one candidate, Gel. William
J. Bryan. This great commoner of
the rights of the people can count on
six straight votes from Arizona
Star.
If William Mckinley does not re-
ceiYe sig straight votes from the Ari-
iona delegation in the next republic

cause the republicans of the territory
have taken leave of their senses. Mr..
