gated 1860, 306, ga The expenditures
for the same period were $500, 900 ,007 I,
the surplus for the fiscal year being
S54 ,297 ,667. The Indications are that
the surplus for the present fiscal year
will be very small, II indeed there be
any surplus. From July to Novem-
Der the receipts from customs we're,
approximately, nine million dollars
less than the receipts from the same
source for n corresponding portion ol
last year. Should this decrease con

fiscal year, the surplus would be re-

In u recent address before the ST,
Andrews society, OF New York, Pres
ident Woodrow Wilson, Of Princeton
college said:
cit Is too often assumed that the
man who questions whether everything
has been done rightly in the history OF
the country puts doubt on his own
patriotism. One Of the things most
needed In this country IL for us TO
cultivate enough hardness OF fiber to
stand up against the crowd. More re-
sistance OF the minority to the majority
is needed. This country originated In
the biggest kick ever organized. "
This Is sound talk from man who
is president OF great educational In
stitution which has long had repu-
tation for turning out men of indie
pendent thought and action.

PARTISAN INVESTIGATION.
A Great Field, but Only whitewash
Need lie Expected.

The Republican leaders have decided
That there must he n Republican inves'
tigation by congress of the post Office
department ito spoil lot of Demo
cratic thunder" That means of course
whitewash and II majority report
that all the scandals have been invesu-
gated and all the thieves indicted. One
great trouble with this kind of an In
vestIgatlon Is that It Is partisan and
intended to cover up graft and give Il
clean bill of health to the greater ras'
Gals. Who ever heard of n partisan
committee reporting unfavorably TO Its
own party? Who will compose the
committee of investigation that the
speaker OF the house OF representatives
will name? The great majority will be
the most extreme partisan Republic
ans that can be found willing to apply
the whItewnsh with liberal hand. The
investigation by the department Off
Gals has by order OF President Roose-
Welt not extended TO those who are ac-
cused of mnfeasance In Office three
years ago, ms the statute Of limitations
In the District of Columbia runs after
that time. Yet II IL more important
that the people nf the United States
should know all those that have con.
spircd to defraud the government than
that few minor officials should be In.
dctcd.
The only way the voter can be pro
tected from repetition of similar
frauds Is to know all who have been
guilty OF them, so that they can re-
member them for popular dlsapprova
II they appear MS candidates for public
Office. No congressional investigation
that does not include all the post Office
frauds will satisfy the voters.
Then there are other departments OF
the government that would seem to re
qulrc investigation quite rs much rs
the post office. The interior department
stands charged with rottenness In botl
the Indian bureau and general land
office, and specific charges OF malfca
sance IN office are on file In the courts
against the Dawes commission. Per
haps the lack of energy shown in thu
land frauds investigation Is to allow
another set OF grafters to cover thell
tracks by the convenient route OF tn,
statute of limitations.
There IL no doubt that an honest
committee OF investigation of NIL tn,
government departments would h,
kept busy until the end of the coming
session of congress, but there is NJ
hope that such will be appointed.

SAM PARKS FINAL SHOT
At the Threshold of the Penitentia1 v
He Discusses His Fall.
Custom Older u hat He is, And
Which the tnions Must Stop.

New York, Nov. 7.-Before he left
his cell to begin serving his sentence
of more than two years in Sing Sins
prison for extortion of money from
employers, Samuel Parks, ex-walking
delegate of the local Housesmith and
Bridgemen's union, called about him
number of newspaper men to bid
them farewell. In so doing he made
the following statement:
tits only taken little more than
seven years for them to get me here.
1t has been a hard fight, and I've

l know when I've got enough. III be

for it. Every laboring man in this
country should remember me for years
to come. | should be a warning to
them. I'm the victim of custom that
is older than | am, and that is the
habit of having money transactions
with employers. That put me here.
1.-The salvation of the unions lies in
stopping that practice at once They
must give up fines, waiting time, back
pay for strikes, and everything like
that. That's the loophole through
which this grating as they call it,,
creeps in. The employers never leave
any tracks. could name 100 en-
ployers here who have made practice
of using labor unions against COM
petitors. l know plenty of employers
who have made fortunes by the use of
money through young fellow who
has never made more than couple of
dollars a day, and has beef kept in
authority by his union"

RARE PLANTS DESTROYED
Fire Creates Devastation at Shaw's
Garden, st. Louis.
Rare Plants In the Conservatives
Fall Prey to Flames.

St Louis, Nov Sire that started
early Saturday morning, partially de-
vastated the famous resort and de-
stroyed collections of plants worth
thousands of dollars.
The flames were discovered in one
of the conservato;. 20 at sos O'Clock by
officer Cronin, who turned in an aIarm,
calling out several engine companies.
The fire was burning fiercely when
the department arrived, threatening
the entire garden with destruction.
The glass roofs of the hot houses
cracked, and several gave way under
the intense heat, fragments falling on
the rare plants and finishing the work
of ruination left undone by the flames
Efforts of the fremen centered on
the larger buildings, and the ones
housing the most valuable specimens,
but these we're right in line of the
flames and in greatest danger.
Quickly as possible the garden at
taches were organized into a salvage
corps, and set to work carrying the
finest plants from the buildings.
Thousands were saved in this way,
but others, many of which may never
be replaced, were destroyed
Orchids, splendid specimens of
palms, Persia cacti, the celebrated
goose neck" plant, and others were
included in the list of those destroyed,
Some of the plants burned were worth
$500 and $1,000 each
The East Indian conservatory, where
some of the rarest specimens were
displayed, burned quickly Nothing
was saved from this building, although
desperate efforts were made to that
end
The fire was finally checked, but not
until fully $4,000 damage was done,
from the standpoint of architectural
loss. No estimate can be made on the
damage done to the flowers
