FINANCES.

FINANCES.
The revenues of the board from the
taxes of the year 1899 have practically
all been collected.
After paying all outstanding war
rants there will remain of the revenues
of 1899 about S25 200, and about$8 900
from the sale of land, making about
SS3 900 to be applied to The payment
for ievee work now being done before
anticipating the revenues of 1900.
1t will be seen that this surplus of
cash on hand will about be sufficient to
pay for all work now under contract,
leaving the revenues of 1900 clear for
the new work to be done.
Respectfully.

Walter Wellrnan, New York cor
responder: of the Chicago Times
HerGld, says: Absolutely safe for
Mckinley and Roosevelt are the
thirty-six electoral votes of the EN-
pire State. The Republican pluraIi-
ty cannot drop below 10000; it
may run to over 10000. Of this
result there is no reasonable doubt.
No one here-not even the Demo-
cratic leader, Mr.. Croker-believes
Bryan has as much as a fighting
chance for the State. Mr.. Cookers
lieutenants almost to man know
they are beaten and privately say so;
some of them have had the courage
o tell him what they think. Moth
ing but miracle, nothing but sur
prise springing up like an earth
quake, confoundiug the calculations
of leaders on both sides could give
the State to the Democrats.

Minnesota Secure.

A Minneapolis dispatch to the Sc
attleP ost-LmteIIigeutlr says of Min
nesota: Gas to another large plural
ity for Mckinley in Minnesota there
is not the least doubt. Labor. dis
satisfied in 1896, is more than salts
fed in 1900. The farmer has done
well and is feeling good and the
Philippine policy of the Admins
tration is generally sustained. The
State is more hostile then ever to
any interference with the present
monetary standard or to any tam
pering with present conditions in
any way. Any one who thinks
there is the least question regarding
the electoral vote of Minnesota
should be examined at once as to
his sanity"

greater than if the percentage were
not computed until the end of the
year. When the controversy arose
as to the time Of computing per
centage Mr.. Little determined to
have the matter decided in the
courts, but on further consideration
and in view of the fact that the
amount involved was onlL some
5000, he concluded that it would be
cheaper to settle the matter accord
ing to the views of the County
Commissioners. This he did and
that was the end of the whole
affair. Democratic candidates are
in very small business when they
pick up things of this characterand
by utterly misrepresenting the
facts seek to destroy the reputation
of one Of our best citizens. Mr..
Little is now confined to his bed
with severe attack of asthma and
therefore unable to personally re-
flute the ISLANDERS which are being
circulated against him, and for that
reason THE TRIBUNE makes this
statement in his behalf, branding as
absolutely false the story that he

SOLID PROSPERITY.

We have before us at this mo-
ment circular letter sent out by
Pomeroy & Handley, of the Nation.
al Stock Yards at East St. Louis,
Ill. We want to make it perfectly
clear that this is not a campaign
document but a strict business
communication. The first sentence
of the letter reads this way: "From
the fact thafrange horses and mules
are in better demand and prices
higher than they have1 been before
in ten years, we deem it advisable
to again post you as to our market"
Then the letter proceeds as follows:
THE facts are that all of Our farm
ers east of the Mississippi River
and all over the entire south have
raised abundant crops this year of
everything, and for which they
are relieving better prices than they
have received before in years"
Then follow some quotations of
horses and mules. We quote Pom
eroy & Handley's figures: Yearlings
and two year old colts SIS to $751;;
mares with good sucking colts
at their sides, from SIS to $50; good
dry mares and geldings from four
to twelve years old, from SIS to
SIS; mules, from weanling up to
full age, from SIS to $I75 per head.
We present these figures simply in
retl1tation of the statement made by
Democrats that nothing has raised
in price except the products of the
trusts and also in order to show the
difference between the prices of
range horses and mules now and
during the last Democratic admin
lstration. 1t is to be borne in mind
that these horses and mules and
no. for the higher grades of animals.
in this connection it might be not
ed that cotton is quoted at from eH
cents to II cents which is from 3
cents to S cents per pound higher
than the price has before been dur
ing the last eight or ten years.
1t viii be a very difficult thing to
make the agriculturists of this
country believe tnat the prosperity
they now enjoy is simply imaginary.
