CURRENT COMMENT.

The New York Times (Dem.) says:
Considering that the total expenses
Of the government under the present
administration, taking the estimate OF
the Treasury officials for the unex-
PRED time, will be greater by some
$2l1. 100000 than the expenses Of Mr..
Mckinley's administration and some
1888, 100000 than the four years of Mr..
Cleveland. the gap between the ex-
penditures and the receipts is not
cheerful one to contemplate"
The Philadelphia Record CDem.) says:
Mr. Williams implies the answer to
his question why Mr.. Cortelyou is run
ming the Republican campaign. AS the
Department Of Commerce embraces a
Bureau of Corporations, armed with
large powers Of inquisition upon cor
porations, the man who was for a
year at the head Of the department,

the event of Mr.. Roosevelt's election,
Is a man whose ill-will the corpora
lions cannot afford to incur II his
goodwill come at anything like rea-
sonable figures"
The Chattanooga Times( Dem. } says:
"A negro candidate for Congress at
the Republican primaries held the
other day in a Boston district, got no
more than 400 votes. although he had
once held state Office and was re-
garded as one of the best men of his

WOMEN IN THE CAMPAIGN.

There are four states in which
women have the ballot. They are
Utah, Idaho. Wyoming and Colorado.
In Colorado the women are not ac-
tive in politics this year. They have
been told by their husbands and broth
ers that this is a mans campaign,
and they seem to agree to that view
Of it. The National Republican Com
mittee has undertaken to organize
the woman vote, and some time ago
sent woman to Denver for that pur-
pose, but she wasn't given very
cordial reception. The reason women
have been advised to keep out of this
campaign in Colorado is, doubtless,
that the labor troubles are playing
such an important part in it..
In Utah and Idaho, however, the
women are as enthusiastic in respect
to the campaign as the men. The
leading issue is Mormonism. In Utah,
the women have been given to under
stand that Mormonism and Republic
canism stand together, that if Mr..
Roosevelt is elected the Mormon,
Smoot, will be given his seat in the
United States Senate. All of the Nor
mon women. therefore, are going to
vote the Republican ticket, as they
are loyal to the Mormon Church.
In Idaho the situation is somewhat
different. There the Gentle women
are largely in the majority and they
are doing what they can for the cleo
ton of Judge Parker. The Gentiles
would like to run the Mormons out
of the state, the Gentle women par
ticularly being hostile to them.
In Wyoming the Mormon question
cuts no figure. The women are en-
thusiastic politicians. however, and
they are doing their share of campaign
work. They take the stump just as
the men do, and among them there
are many really good stump speakers.
The majority of them are controlled
by sentiment, however, and, there
fore, will vote for Mr.. Roosevelt. He
lived in Wyoming for a while and has
reason the women regard him as one
of their own citizens, and are giving
him hearty support.
1t is said that in Wyoming for every
ten votes the men cast this year the
women viii cast nine. That shows
they are pretty thoroughly in politics.
In Colorado the novelty of taking part
in the campaigns has worn off to
great extent, and it wouldn't be sur
prising if, in the course of few
years more, comparatively few wom-
EN- of the state will care to retain the
ballot. In Utah and Idaho, however,
1t is probable that the Mormons will
Insist upon the women retaining the
ballot. They think the time may
came when they will have use for
their ballots. Their first thought is
of their religion. Whatever regard
they have for their country is a long
way inferior to that which they have
for their church.

OUTCRoPPINGs OF DEPRAvIrY,

1t Is dlf1cult TO believe there are men
in good repute in their respective
communities so depraved as to
deliberately expose innocent and
inoffensive people to death for
gain or to destroy property of
the government or of individ-
uals to crafty feeling of enmity.
And yet within the last few days two
notable instances have come to light
which indicate there are such men.
One is that of number of persons
charged with putting iron bars in cork
slabs used in life preservers, and the
other is that of the attempts to sink
the battleship Connecticut that has
just been launched from the New York
Navy Yard.
In the first case, the superintendent
and foremen of cork factory at Cam
den, N. j., have been indicted and ar
rested and are to be tried at Trenton,
N. j., this week. One of the parties
arrested, a colored man. has confessed
he put the iron bars in the cork slabs
on the order of the foreman of the
department in which he worked. The
iron bars weighed eight ounces each.
IT is supposed the bars were put in
the slabs because they were cheaper
than cork. II the fraud hadn't been
detected soon after it's preparation
thousands of life preservers con-
tanning the iron bars would have
been sold to steam and other vessels.
In the event of an accident on any
one of them, an accident requiring the
use of life preservers, human lives
would have been sacrificed, because the
preservers. laden with iron, would have
been of little. IL any, value. They
would have been of no more use than
were those of the Gen. Slocum, the
steamboat that went down in New
York hapbor some months ago, and in
which disaster more than a thousand
lives were lost.
The testimony in the Gen. Slocum in
vestigation disclosed the fact that the
life preservers were Of no account II
may be they were cheap affairs, though
there was no evidence that they were
loaded with iron bars. II the men
charged with the crime OF putting iron
bars in life preservers are found guilty
the punishment which the law provides
will hardly be equal to that which they
deserve.
There is no clue, as yet, to the party
or parties who attempted to wreck the
battleship Connecticut. There were
three attempts. The last, as was stated
in our dispatches yesterday, was dis
covered after the ship had been
launched. 1t is supposed the attempts
were made by persons who have a
grievance against the government, or
against officers connected with the
navy yard at New York. II they are
caught no mercy should be shown
them. The world has no use for them
nor for those who deliberately put iron
bars in the cork slabs intended for life
pressrvers.
We are told frequently by those who
make a study Of such matters that
the world is becoming better all the
time II may be II is. but IL is GER
tain that there IL still living q percent
age Of the human family that could
hardly be worse than Il Is.

THE CLEVELAND noNp DEAL.

In his speech at Charlotte. N. c., on
Monday night Hon. Hoke Smith, who
was member of Mr.. Cleveland's cabi-
net, brought out some facts in con-
nection with the Cleveland bond deal
which the public may have forgotten.
In this campaign the Republicans. in
their newspaper organs and through
their spellbinders, are continually say
ing that Mr.. Cleveland brought on the
| financial panic of 1893 and that he
increased the bonded debt in time of
peace.
1t is true, of course, that he issued
bonds, but it isn't true that he is re-
sponsible for the financial panic He
isn't even responsible for the increase
of the bonded debt.
In his speech Mr.. Smith showed that
when Mr.. Cleveland closed his first
term as President there was a surplus
in the treasury of $3.50. ,916 and he
had paid on the public debt 4,34S, 1893.
That was magnificent showing. He
was succeeded by Gen. Harrison. What
was the condition of the treasury at
the end of Harrison's administration?
The entire surplus that Mr.. Cleveland
left had been squandered and the ap-
preparations for the ensuing year ex-
ceeded the revenue by more than $780,
0OO,O 900.
And yet the Republicans have the
gall to say that Mr.. Cleveland is re-
sponsible for the panic of 1898 because
he issued bonds when he became Presi-
dent again. He had to issue bonds
because the Republican administra-
ton of Mr.. Harrison had drained
the treasury and had made appropria-
tions i'm excess of the revenue. And
Mr.. Smith says that the Republicans
had already prepared plans for a bond
issue, and doubtless would have issued
bonds if their party had been success
full in 1892. But it is worthy of notice
that they never mention that fact
when they charge the Democrats with
issuing bonds in time of peace and with
for the panic of 1893. In
their discussions of the country's fl
nances and of the silver question
they are neither fair, frank nor honest.
The Republican organs are all the
while sneering at the charges of Re
publican extravaganza, made in the
Democratic platform. In commenting
upon Mr.. Davis letter of acceptance,
they say it is made up of platitudes
because he has so much to say about
the cost of Republican administrations
In comparison with the cost of Demo- |
cratic administrations, but there is |
good reason for harping on Republican
No other government in |
he world is spending money so lavish |
~, so recklessly so wastefulIy. The |
Republican papers, however, say the |
people do not feel the taxation with |
which they are burdened, because it is
Indirect. AS well might they say the |
people do not feel the burdens which |
he trusts impose upon them, because |
hey are indirect burdens. But the |
ariff and internal revenue taxes make |
prices of all sorts of articles higher, |
md the people have to pay these higher |
prices, just as they have to pay higher |
prices for sugar and beef and oil be- |
.ause Of the existence OF the beef, |
sugar and oil trusts. If the people |
would think a little they would soon |
zee that it is to their interests to turn |
he Republican party out of power.

While it is remarkable thing how
morals become tangled or distorted

If the cope were mere article OF

its return. But it would seem that art
is out of the reach of the criminal
