OShaughressys were going to have goose
for dinner, and he sought Chief of Police

Then detectives started for the o'Shaugh-

ALREADY A DEFICIT.

For the last ten years no month and
scarcely any day has elapsed without
proclamation through Republican
newspapers of the charge that the cleo
ton of Mr.. Cleveland to the presidency
was responsible for the evil condition
that afflicted the federal treasury after
that time. ALI the other circumstances
of the country are left out of the ques-
ton, and we have been assured some
millions Of times that Cleveland and
free trade" were responsible for all the
financial and business misfortunes that
fell upon the country, and for all the
losses of that and succeeding years.
If the responsibility is so fixed
in one case it must be SO fixed in an
other Another treasury deficit is star
ing the country in the face, and the
Republican administration and Repub-
lican policies will have to stand for it.
Our special advices from Washington
show that Republican managers are
greatly exercised over treasury condi-
tons. The treasury deficit for last
month was more than $5,OOO,OO0. The
surplus for the first third of the fiscal
year, instead of reaching $2O,O00OOO or
$30,000,000, as might have been expect
ed, has receded to beggarly $685., O0O
The working cash balance of the treas
ury is only $55,OOO,OOO, and there is
reason to believe that before the end
of the current month other resources
will have to be drawn upon for the
governments needs.
This unexpected and lightning-l like
change will require some explanation
to the people. 1t is only few months
since all discussion was conferred upon
the excessive income of the country.

rid of it. Other problems will con-

success to any person who will join the
club and pay 81 per month, whatever
be the matter or the business in which
they desire to be helped to success. Be
it business or pleasure, sickness or bodily
infirmity or anything else, they promise
that by and under what they call the new
ly discovered law of mentalism and by
giving sheer mental treatment under that
law the desired success will be brought
to any member of the club in any part OF
the world.
AS a special favor I have been invited
to test their ability to fulfill this promise
by joining the club at half price, viz: 81.
In substance have sent the following re-
ply: c,,.1

HEJO DID NOT DEAL
WITH INSURGENTS
Japanese Consul at Manila Met Their
Leader, but That Was All.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 4.-The
japanese minister has received the follow
ing official statement regarding the alleged
dealings between an official of the jap
anese consulate at Manila and the insur-
gent leader, Trias, as reported by Gen.
Macarthur in December 1900:
In January, 1901, the United States
minister at Toxic brought the matter to
the attention Of the minister for foreign
affairs, who disclaimed any knowledge OF
the alleged facts on the part of the Japan
csc government, and Immediately insti-
tuted an investigation. Mr.. Hello, the Of
hc1al accused, who had been temporariIv
in charge of the consulate at Manila In
october. 1900, was recalled to Japan and
subjected to close examination. from
which the following facts were brought
to light:
While returning from a pleasure trim
TO Cavite he accidentally met Trias and
was introduced to him by a fellow tray
eler. In the course of the conversation
which ensued Trias' secretary stated that
the insurgents were in need of arms and
ammunition; that If they could obtain a
supply sufficient for the equipment of
from 5000 to 10000 men it would be an
easy matter to drive the American troops
out of the Islands and ultimately to Sc
cure independence, ana That II Japan
would assist the insurgents by supplying
arms and ammunition the right to estab-
l1sh a permanent coaling station, free
dom Of trade and railway franchises
would be conceded. He then inquired how
Mr. Hejo thought the Japanese govern
ment would regard such q proposition
Mr.. Hello replied that he had no authority
to discuss the matter in his official ca
pacity, but that his private opinion was
that 1t would be absolutely impossible
for Japan to consider such proposal or
to render any assistance whatever to the
insurgents, and he added he thought their
wiSeSt course was submission to Ameri-
can authority. The conversation was car
ried on entirely by Hello and the secre-
tary, Trias merely listening. Although this
interview comprised all the communica-
ton Mr.. Hejo ever had with any of the
insurgents, and although his eXamina-
ton proved that the facts had been mis-
represented, it was not deemed agreeable,
in consideration of the friendship existing
between Japan and the United States, to
retain him at Manila, where he had been
subjected to such grave charges. and he
was transferred to another post The
United States minister at Toxic was no
titled of the facts revealed by the inves-
tigation and Of the resultant action, and
the reply received from him stated that
the United States government regarded
the matter as satisfactorily closed"

sounding blow. He served notice upon

ing to expand and increase those mar
kets so essential to the maintenance of
a demand for our commodities. that it
would not be permitted to continue its
work unmolested. Industry everywhere
took the alarm, business activity was
checked. foreign commerce dwindled
importations declined, receipts showed
corresponding decrease and immedi-
ately the federal treasury felt the eff
feet; just as mans bank balance
shows it when his receipts are cut In
two and his expenses doubled. So the
country is face to face once more with
a treasury deficit and with all the diff

remedy if there is any. 1t is forbidden,
by its unceasing daily protestations of
its own relation to prosperity since the

from attributing present conditions to

THEY ARE WELCOME.

According to the annual report of
Commissioner General Sargent, of the
immigration bureau, this state received
22,S35 immigrants during the past year.
Of this number 1885 were Scandina-
VANS and the majority of the remain
ing 1878 came from Northern Europe.
These statistics mean that Minnesota
has gained large number of excellent
citizens; for this state is too we'll ac-
quainted with the type of citizen the
hardy Northerners represent to have
any doubts concerning the influence
they will exert. The majority of these
immigrants upon their arrival settled
into the cities they sought rural dis
tricts where their industry and thrift
must add greatly to the states agri-
cultural wealth.
But it is not only for the labor Of
their hands that Minnesota has reason
to rejoice in the coming of these
Northerners. They are intelligent, they
are appreciative Of the advantages Of
fered by this country, they are loyal.
Moreover. when they come, they, come
to stay. The money they earn is not
boarded until it represents sum
large enough to insure a competence to
the owner when he returns with it to
the fatherland. On the contrary, it
finds it's way into the legitimate chan
nels of trade and makes for this coun-
trys prosperity.
And the man from Northern Europe
has this also to his credit: No matter
how isolated the farming land upon
which the Scandinavian settles, his
first thought when he finds himself on
his own land is to make an effort to Sc
cure educational advantages for his
children. Not only are the rural school
houses of Minnesota peopled largely
with Scandinavian children but the
interests of the school are carefully
fostered by their parents. The North
.erner appreciates above all things the
advantages of education, for love of
learning is one of the splendid heri-
tages he brings with him to the new
home.
According to the commissioner gen.
erals report, no state west of the Mis-
s1sslppl river received so many immi
grants last year as Minnesota: and no
state west of Pennsylvania. with the
exception of Ohio and Illinois, received
so many. And so far as immigration to
rural districts was concerned. this state
leu all the others. 1t is this last fact
that Keeps Minnesota from having an
immigration problem to solve. Men
VINO nave the funds and the pluck to
come so far to seek home are NOT of
the class that give trouble. Men who
prefer farm life to city life are the
ones that thrive in a transpIanted state
