the sinking fund. Thus is 100000, 900
disposed of which has nothing what
ever to do with current expenses.
This reduces the aggregate appropri-
ations to $700,000,000. The appropri-
alton Tor the post Office department.
is $13s 100000. The earnings of that
department will reach about $130,OOO,-
! 600, so that this amount may be
taken from the $7OO,OOO,OOO, reducing
the expenditures to $57O,OoO,oo0. The
appropriation of $780, 100000 for pen
sions represents AN expenditure for
which the present congress is not re-
sponslble. Deducting the pension APP
preparation the extravaganza of CON
gress Is reduced to $431 100000. which
includes the fixed charges for inter-
est, etc.
Now, consider the already oft-re-
peated statement of an increase of
appropriations this year over last
year Of $7O,O00,O00. First, there is
the $50,000,000 appropriated for the
isthmian canal as already minated.
To this should be added the in
creased appropriation on account OF
the postal service. These two items
dispose of $64,O00,O00 of the $70,O00,-
000 There is large saving of $44,-
100000 in the army appropriation.
while the appropriation for rivers and
harbors is large, because none was
made by the last congress. So, as
matter of fact, there was no ma
terial increase in appropriations for
current expenses.
No one who has any information
upon the subject will deny that APP
preparations are made for which no
justification can be given. 1t has al
ways been thus, and it will doubtless
always be so as long as there is a
public treasury which can be tapped,
but there We're no more of such APP
preparations by the last session of
congress than heretofore And here
it may be asked where were the
democrats in senate and house when
what they denounce as eXtravagant
or unnecessary appropriations of
money were made? Did any of them
go on record against the Panama
canal appropriation? Who We're more
Jealous for the passage of the river
and harbor appropriation bill than
democrats in both senate and house?
So long as they did not denounce
these expenditures while pending and
voted for them on their passage, the
democrats in senate and house are
equally responsible with the repub-
Leans.

REPUBLICANS GET CREDIT.
Chief Musyvump Organ Makes True
Statement Regarding the Coun-
try's Prosperity.

An admission by the Springfield Re-
publican, the chief organ of the mug
wumps of New England. that sit is
mostly true that everything good and
great in the legislation of the past
rs years is the work of the re-
publican party" has caused consider
able comment in the newspapers of the
country. What the republican says,
however, is true, observes the Cleve-
land Leader.
To be sure, the democrats have not
had much chance to enact laws since
1866. In 1876 they obtained control of
both branches of congress, but there
was republican president in the
white house to veto the political bills
that were passed. Again, in 1892, the
democrats gained control of both
houses, and they also elected demo-
cratic president at the same time.
Then nothing stood in the way of their
making laws. Yet the tariff law which
they had promised to enact was only
passed after bitter quarrel between
the house and senate, and it was de-
nounced by President Cleveland as a
measure filled with ''perfidy and dis
honor" He refused to sign the bill,
permitting it to become a law without
his signature. That was the only
measure of consequence enacted by
that congress, and in view of the dis
astrous results of its enforcement. no.
body will say that it was good and
great.
The incapacity of the democrats to
legislate for the good of the country
has been demonstrated whenever that
party has had control of either or both
branches of congress. and that is
probably the reason why the people
have continued to give the control of
congress to the republicans, almost
without interruption.

nLANToN SAVED FROM oALLowa
Governor Aycock commutes Hls Sen
tence to Life Imprisonment.

Raleigh, NJ c., Aug. 2.-Governor
Aycock has disposed of an extremely
interesting case by committing to life
imprisonment in the penltentiary the
death sentence of Richard Blanton,
a negro, who was convicted of as
sault and sentenced to be hanged at
Salisbury.
Richard Fleming, convicted at the
same time, was hanged, and, dying
declared Blanton's innocence.
Governor Aycock says in his reasons
for commutation: His guilt is too
uncertain to permit his execution"
The evidence against him was that
Of the woman who only saw him in
the uncertain light through an open
door. At first she failed to identify
him, and the officer turned him loose
on her statement. He proved an alibi
by witness who proved a good char
acter The trial judge earnestly rec
ommends the Communication, and says
that but for an implied understanding
that the sentence would be commuted
to life Imprisonment he would have
set the verdict aside Blanton proved
a good character on the trial Many
Of the lawyers and other reputable
citizens Of the county recommended
commutation, and most of them eX.
press grave doubt as to his guilt.

ATLANTA HOTEL is
PREY TO FLAMES
Alhambra Hostelry Complet-
ly Destroyed.
NARROW ESCAPE OF GUESTS

So Rapid Was Spread of Falmes That
Guests Were Compelled to Leap
From Windows to Save Their Lives,
Many Injured.
Atlanta. Aug. 2.-The Alhambra ho'
tel, 39l Peachtree street, caught nre
at las o'clock this morning and in the
space of a few moments the structure
was in flames. At o'clock every
portion of the building was wrapped
in fire and it's total destruction was
seen to be inevitable.
Firemen worked heroically to save
the building, but being constructed OF
wood. it burned with great rapidity.
and their efforts were futile.
There were rs guests in the hotel at
the time, and many were forced to
Jump from windows to save their
lives. No one was killed, but sew
eral sustained more or less serious In
juries and had narrow escapes from
cremation.
The smoke that peryaded the build
ing in thick volumes was so dense
and hot that many were overcome and
were carried from the building insen-
sible
The guests succeeded in saving most
of their trunks.
The Alhambra hotel was built in
1895 for the express purpose of accom-
modating the crowds that came to the
big exposition. Built as an emergen-
cy hotel, the materials used in it were
very cheap. consisting for the most
part of wood with an exterior of plas-
ter.
The property was owned by j. l..
Dickey, and the total loss is estimated
at between $4,000 and $4,000.

GIGANTIC REAL ESTATE DEAL.
Strip of Land In Atlanta Is sold For
$2OO,OO0.

V-SSfSSSt
Atlanta, Aug. 2.-The largest and
most significant real estate deal that
has ever been consummated in the city
of Atlanta was closed a few days ago
when the firm of G. w Adair sold to
a local syndicate all of the property In
the city and in Fulton county belong
ing to the Atlanta Real Estate com
pany for the handsome sum of 5000,
600 in cash.
This is the largest single sale Of
Atlanta dirt that has taken place
since there was any to be sold in this
immediate vicinity. The next largest
sale that occurred at one time was
made when the James bank building
and property was sold to the Century
company for $160,000
The transfer of the property is sig
niflcant of the fact that residence
building property is in greater demand
in Atlanta at this time than ever be-
fore in the history of the city. With
the transfer of the property to this To-
cal company it will mean the placing
on the market in the pear future some
of the most desirable residence prop
erty in the city, property that has been
lying idle for 80 years.
