As regards interest on the public debt,
the figures of the Harrison admnistra-
ton that interviewed between the two
Cleveland administrations are of inter-
est. The interest payments for the year
! 1892, the last year of Republican rule
were S23,37S,ll6, as against sol $50, 140
! for the first fiscal year OF Cleveland's
first administration. Then, during Cleve-
lands second administration the public
debt was increased $500, 900 900, and the
interest payments, which in 1892 amount
, ed to $23,37S, 10 in 1897 amounted to
$37, 791 40, But in 1904 the interest
on the public debt was only $24, GAG 400,
this reduction having been due chiefly to
the economy rendered possible through
the financial act of March. 1900, which
nearly every Democrat in Congress voted
against.
The most important increase in expend-
lures under Republican rule has been for
the navy-aud this policy Of upbuiding
the navy was "A pet policy of the late w.
G. Whitney, President Clevcland's Secre-
tary of the Navy, whom Democrats often
term the father of the modern American
navy. During the Cleveland years. ex-
penditures for the navy increased &c.,
O)OOOO, and the Navy Department ex-
pcnditures for 1904, compared with those
for 1897, Cleveland's last year, show
an increase Of $6S.00O00O the bulk of
which increase is for construction of new
ships.
In consideration Of the fact that the
United States has increased nearly SO
per cent. in population and more than
100 per cent in wealth since Grover
Cleveland was first inaugurated the in
creased expenditures of government
would naturally seem to be entirely JUS
tilted.
If they are not, the Democrats should,
at least in fairness, be willing to criti-
else the increase in Democratic years Just
as much as the increase in Republican
years.

The President Would DO.

Here is an incident that illustrates
one trait of the Presidents character-a
trait that tends to make him popular.
While james Jeffrey Roche was having
chat with President Roosevelt in the
White House last week the telephone
bell was ringing somewhat persistently,
says the Boston Herald There being no
attendant at hand the President excused
himself and went to answer the repeated
call. This is the conversation that took
place on the line according to the test
mony Of the distinguished gentleman at
the Presidents end Of it:

Here we see that our present tropical
possessions are only sending us about II
per cent of the tropical products we con-
sumo. We not only need those islands
and all they produce, but we also need
to do all in our power to increase the
total and diversity of their products.
More than that. we also need more pos
sessions of the same kind. 1t would pay
us to buy some more-the Danish and
other West Indies, for instance. 1t stands
to reason that as we must pay out so
large an amount each year, it would be
best to send the money to our own pos

TROPICAL POSSESSIONS.
We Need All We Have and Could
Profitably Increase the Number.


The Democratic and "Anti-Imperial-
istic" opponents of Republican national
control say we do not need tropical pos
sessions. Such, for instance. as the
Philippines, Porto Rico and Hawaii. In
saying this they overlook the fact that
our imports of tropical and sub-tropieal
products in the fiscal year ended June
80, 1904, amounted to the enormous sum
of $430,556, 775-nearly $1,500,000 for
each working day of the year.
The great growth in these imports in
single generation is shown by the fol-
lowing record, using figures compiled by
the chief of the Bureau of Statistics of
the Department of Commerce and Labor:
1917 ......... Slo9,SUO,OS6
1890 297, 716,57S

The increase here given of $15S, 200, 900
III twenty years, and 1921 100000 in
thirty-fOur years, emphasizes our need
of tropical possessions in the most strik-
ing manner. Our imports from the Phil

ED. WIN. RUPARD DEAD.
Pastor at Lulbegrud for More Than
Sixty Years.

Elder William Rupard died at
his home in Clark county on last
Saturday of heart trouble, aged ~
wears. He had been pastor of the
Lulbegrud, Old Baptist Church, for
more than sixty years, this being
his first pastorate. At Cane Spring,
Madison county, he has been pastor
for more than fifty years, and for
a long time (about the same,
period) at Goshen, Clark county
and Liberty, Estill county, which
churches compose the North Dis
trict Association of Old Baptists.
He had been married twice and
would have celebrated in a few
days his fiftieth anniversary of his
second marriage.
Elder Rupard in connection with
his pastoral work visited other
associations in other States, where
he with gladness preached the gos-
pei as he und, rstood it to the saints
there. He was a good citizen,
correct business man and was loved
by his congregations.
The funeral sermon was preached
by Elder James Gilbert, OF Win
chester, on Sunday and he was
buried in the family grave YARD at
his home. He leaves a wife, two
sons. Thomas and William, both
blind; and four daughters, Ber-
tie, who is mute, Mrs. jeff Boone,
Kate and Lennie.
Because of the late hour the news
of his death reached here members oil
the Lulbegrud Church were not at
the funeral. Mrs. John Morris was
the only person who got word In
time and she was there.
The death of Elder Rupard leav-
es only one minister in the Associ-
alton, Rev. Gilbert, of Winchester
1t will be difficult for the church
es, of which Elder Rupard was the
faithful pastor, to fill his place.

MAY CHOOSE.

The President of Berea College,
Negro and whites, is very much
put out because the people OF Ken
lucky will not permit CO education
of these races, and reports say he
threatens to turn the Berea College
into a Negro school. This the
law will permit, and the vexed
professor has right to choose
whom he may serve, which may
be according to his raising, pleas
ure or judgment, but Kentucky
people are the folks that speak
about this matter, and he must
teach white children or black, and
only one color at any one place.
Should he prefer to continue teach
ing both colors in Kentucky, the
law will permit him to establish
another school twenty-five miles
distant and teach the blacks at one
school and the whites at the other.
