STILL DEFICIT.

1t seems from statements sent out
from Atlanta that even with the APP
preparation for public schools reduced
to 100000 there will be deficit of
S225,OOO, if all of the proposed appro-
priations are made. Does the Legisla-
ture mean to adjourn without making
an effort to bring the appropriations
within the states incomes?
If so, what is tc be said of the Leg
islature? That II was not equal to the
responsibilities placed upon it? The
next Legislature will have to meet the
deficit. and il is a safe prediction that
the pressure for big appropriations will
be as great upon it as it has been
upon this. The tax rate has been fixed,
and II is pretty clearly known what
the states income will be. Why not
bring the appropriations within that
limit? Is there any other reason than
that the Legislature finds itself unable
to perform the task?
1t may be said, of course, that the
Legislature proposes that the Governor
shall borrow 1925, 900 or $25OOOO when
the exact amount of the deficiency is
discovered. But the objection TO that
is that interest will have to be paid
on the debt, and the debt will steadily
increase unless the next Legislature
has more backbone than this one
seems to have.
The wise thing for the state to do is
to pay as It goes. II is a mistake to
create "a floating debt with the expec-
tation of paying 1t at some indefinite
time In the future. Besides, 1t is a
question whether a debt thus created
is a legal one. The constitution for
bids the creation of debts. OF course
II Is possible unknowingly to appropri-
ate more money than the amount Of
the states income, hut the Legisla-
ture has been put on notice that If il
makes certain appropriations the state
will not have enough money to pay
them by at least s225,OOO
This Legislature will make an un-
enviable record IL It adjourns without
adjusting the appropriations to the
states income. II has held three SEES
SONS, and II 1t creates a floating debt
of $2250O0, one OF the most conspicu-
GUS things It will have 10 show for
It's work will be the debt The debt
undoubtedly will impress itself more
forcibly upon the minds OF the peo-
pie than any other thing.

pigeons in a Duel.

Five hundred people saw two game
pigeons put up a desperate fight at
Ninth and Chestnut streets. says a
Philadelphia dispatch to the Chicago
Inter Ocean. Before the birds decided
to quit they had pecked each other
nearly out Of shape and when they
flew away they left many of their
feathers behind.
The birds were more fortunate than
Fitzsimmons and OBrien, as 1t was
impossible for them to suffer interfer-
ence at the hands of an officious po-
liceman. The birds would not take a
chance at settling their differences,
whatever they were, on the sidewalk,
so they chose for their battle-ground a
space at the top of a stone column at
the Ninth and Chestnut streets en-
trance TO the postoffice building. Here
they were beyond the reach of the re-
serve policeman who guards that To-
cality. The reserve. however, was
kept busy keeping the enthusiastic
spectators from blocking the sidewalk.
What the birds did not know about
jabs, ducks, uppercuts, swings and
hooks could be briefly told. They
fought for fully half an hour and when
they quit and flew away, several mes
senger boys, who had witnessed the
Fitzsimmons-O'Brle bout, declared
that the birds could give these big
knights Of the mitt cards and spades
about fightin' and then beat 'em out"

Gle Russell Sages own heart. He has
been employed in the ST. Paul post
office for thirty-one years and has just
started on his first vacation. Though
urged every year to take a rest, he has
always refused. He was finally forced
into it through a conspiracy on the
part of Postmaster McGill and some of
his co-workers. They told Mr.. O'Brien
he must take two weeks off and he
started on fishing trip on Tuesday.

There is stopping at Broad street

known lawyers in a good-sized city up
the state, says the Philadelphia Press.

ago he walked into my Office and 1
recognized him at once as an out-of-
town contractor who had been putting
in some sewers for our city. He had,

had some difficulty with the Councils

you have to do is to come along with

81 never see the battle ship Massa-
chusetts or her sister ships, the Oregon

dore Nicholas Kane at the Newport
Casino the other afternoon, when the
Massachusetts was in port, that it
does not recall the task that the then
Secretary of the Navy, Benjamin F.
Tracy-who, by the way, was at one
time newspaper man and one of the
editors of the New York Times-set
for Lewis Nixon" says the New York
Commercial.
Nixon was then only 20 years of
age, but at the same time was the
crack man among the construction
corps of the Navy Department. Secre-
tary Tracy asked him for a design for
a battleship that should be more for
midable than any then in existence.
Nixon showed him a rough draft of
a ship that he said would be the most
formidable ever launched in American
waters.
"FWiH such a ship equal the best of
the British battleships' asked Secre-
tary Tracy.
Indeed, it will not frankly replied
the young naval expert.
Then make plans for one that will,
were the brief orders of the Secre-
tarv.
But we have never launched a bat
tleship of that size in this country, and
1 doubt if we can find facilities for
doing So persisted Nixon,
"'You make the plans and Wen find
the facilities, tersely replied the Sec
rotary.
Ninety days later Nixon appeared
with the plans and showed how he had
designed ship with about 1900 tons
less displacement than the British
ships of the same power-a bit of
work that made him famous among
naval men. And that was how the

SENATOR VEST.

George Graham Vest of Missouri,
whose death is chronicled this morn
ing, had for years been one of the
conspicuous figures in American his
tory. As an orator he had few equals.
and when he arose in his place in the
Senate to make an address he COM
manded the attention of the whole as
semblage. A contemporary, referring
recently to Senator Vests serious i'll
ness. said that when he died the last
of the great orators of the ante-bellum
school would have PASSED away. Mr..
Vest spent nearly the whole of his
manhood in active politics. having been
in public life from the time he was
% years old until about a year ago.
He was a member of the Confederate
House of Representatives and later of
the Confederate Senate. facts to which
he referred with pride whenever occa-
sion arose during his several terms as
United States senator. Mr.. Vests
name is not prominently coupled with
any great achievement, hut he will be
remembered as an earnest partisan
and an eloquent spokesman for what
ever he believed 10 be right.
